Beautiful and delicious!

I have used Vanessa for Father’s Day, birthdays, even for wedding cakes! She is fantastic and her cakes are not only delicious (especially the ones filled with dulce de leche), but are a piece of art! You can even give her a picture of what you want and she would replicate that really well. Vanessa is also very professional in handling her business. She has a lovely personality. Love her cakes! I highly recommend her.

Delicious, beautiful wedding cake!

I worked with Vanessa, a small business owner, to make the wedding cake of my dreams and she delivered! She was very thorough, detailed and helped me figure out what cake was the right one for me with kindness and care. A large majority of my wedding guests said it was the best cake they have ever tasted! I got the pineapple cream cake with buttercream and lots of classic piping. It was beautiful and delicious! I would recommend Vanessa to anyone that needs a delicious and special cake. She was reliable and communicative!

Best experience with immediate results!

From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive, answering the phone immediately and offering helpful guidance throughout the entire process. We needed a cake just a week and a half before our wedding, and she made it happen without any stress. The cake turned out exactly like the photo we showed her, and it was not only beautiful but delicious as well. We received so many compliments from our guests, with many saying it was the best cake they’ve ever had. Her pricing was also very reasonable, especially considering the high quality of both the design and taste. Highly recommend! Thank you for making our special day even sweeter!

Incomparable

Vanessa is the one I always go for when I need a cake for an event. I have tried other bakers before and she is definitely above and beyond any other professional I have worked with. She works with me every step of the way, from when I come up with the idea to the final product. Yes, her artwork is amazing, but I can’t forget to mention the flavor and quality of the cake itself. I always receive compliments, and she deserves all the credit!

Order now and thank me later. She's the best!

Vanessa Placido Cakes is truly exceptional. I've had the pleasure of ordering her cakes for a variety of occasions, including weddings, birthdays, corporate events, and holiday celebrations, and she consistently exceeds expectations. Her creativity knows no bounds, turning every cake into a stunning work of art. But it’s not just about the aesthetics—her cakes taste incredible. I’m not talking about just good or decent; they are absolutely delicious! Without fail, guests always inquire about where I got the cakes, and I wholeheartedly recommend her every time.

Vanessa’s Cake

I highly recommend Vanessa’s cakes. She was extremely professional from the beginning to the end. When I first contacted her about my wedding cake I was not sure of what I wanted and kind of lost in terms of what is trending nowadays. Vanessa was very helpful and helped come up with the best cake idea. On my wedding day, I didn’t have to worry about anything, Vanessa was there on time and the cake looked nothing but PERFECT! Finally, not only she provided a perfect looking cake exactly how I wanted, but it also tasted amazing! Definitely the service that I got the most compliments from guests. Vanessa is the absolute best and I highly recommend her services.
