    Delicious cakes!!!

    Melissa at Belle Dolci made amazing baked goods for our wedding! Throughout the process Melissa was extremely helpful in figuring out the perfect desserts for our wedding. We had an extremely delicious cake, as well as different flavored cupcakes, all of which came out perfectly!

    Belle Dolci's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words! It was such a pleasure working with you both. Thank you for including me in your special day! I wish you the very best!

    Best Allergen-free Cake EVER

    Melissa is a magician when it comes to baked goods. We got married at Friends Lake Inn, and Belle Dolci is the preferred vendor for the wedding cake. Melissa took a color palette, some reference photos, a whole list of allergies, a list of flavor preferences, and turned it into the most delicious cake-cake (not wedding-cake) I’ve ever had. We communicated purely through email, but she was responsive, very accommodating, and even adjusted the ingredients slightly to eliminate a surprise allergy from one of my guests the week prior to the event.

    The cake wasn’t too sweet, had interesting textural elements so every mouthful wasn’t just a mush of cake and icing, and looked stunning. She also baked the most delicious gluten-, dairy-, soy-, and nut-free apple cider donuts and brownies that I ate pretty much the whole time I wasn’t doing other things. I still dream about our wedding cake and will definitely be asking her to make it again for an anniversary! Hire Belle Dolci, you’ll be sooo glad you did!

    Belle Dolci's reply:

    I can’t begin to tell you how happy I am to read this and know how much you enjoyed everything. I look forward to your anniversary and thank you so much for your incredible review.

    Gorgeous cake that tasted even better than it looked!

    Excellent and Beautiful Cake

    Melissa baked a wonderful cake for our wedding. It looked beautiful and went with our mountain-theme. It was a vanilla cake with buttercream frosting and a Rocky Road filling. The combination was ridiculously delicious. The cake was moist, the buttercream frosting (my favorite kind) was divine. The filling (chocolate pieces, nuts, and marshmallow) was amazing and went so well. I highly recommend Melissa for baking services for your big day!

    Belle Dolci's reply:

    Thank you so much! I can’t begin to tell you how happy it makes me to know that you loved your cake! Congratulations again!! I truly wish you both the very best!

    Melissa baked an incredible Anniversary Carrot Cake for the, "Celebration of Us Weekend," at the Fern Lodge. As a surprise for me, my Husband, arranged with Melissa to have our cake personalized with my favorite flower, a Sunflower. Atop our cake was a beautifully large handcrafted sunflower. Each petal delicately handmade, you could just see the love and time that went into creating this masterpiece. Beyond the beautiful presentation came a delightfully tasting carrot cake. So good, it made us savor every bite.
    Melissa, thank you for sharing your talent with us. We more than appreciate it all...

    Belle Dolci's reply:

    It is my absolute pleasure. I can't begin to tell you how happy it makes me to know you enjoyed your cake. Thank you so much for your kinds words.

    Melissa knocked it out of the park on our wedding day - so much so that when my husband and I finally got around to the dessert table - everything was gone! She was so accommodating in creating gluten free desserts that were absolutely incredible! I highly recommend Belle Dolci!

    Belle Dolci's reply:

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I am so happy everyone enjoyed everything so much! It was an absolute pleasure being part of your day. I wish you both the very best!!

    Melissa was amazing. I got the wedding cake of my dreams. We were married on top of a mountain in the Adirondacks and so I wanted something a bit woodsy. I showed her pictures I'd found of similar cakes on Pinterest and she made my vision come to life! Everyone at my wedding commented on how beautiful it was and were even more excited by how delicious it was! In addition to a 4 tiered cake, we opted to have a dozen gluten free cupcakes for gluten-sensitive/Celiac guests (including myself). Those were just as delicious (and I may have had one or two for breakfast on the way to my honeymoon the morning after)! I didn't end up having a florist for my wedding so I didn't have extra flowers to decorate the cake with, but Melissa didn't balk. She picked flowers from around the lodge she works at and made the most beautiful accents for the cake, cupcakes, and the table they were on! It was absolutely stunning. We can't thank her enough for being part of making our wedding day so perfect!

    Thank you so much for your kind words. It was truly my pleasure to meet you and be part of your special day! I wish you. It's the very best!

    Melissa DiPasquale of Belle Dolci designed and delivered two beautiful cakes for my wedding this past weekend. One was conventional and one was gluten-free, but they were both flawless in aesthetic and taste. Melissa was just a pleasure to work with. As a baker and an artist, she offers her customers the perfect combination of receptivity and creative guidance. I would not hesitate to contact Belle Dolci for my next big event. I especially recommend them for unconventional cakes, as no one could tell that the second cake was gluten-free. It was so good!

    Belle Dolci's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words. I am thrilled that everyone enjoyed the cake. It was an absolute pleasure to be part of your day and work with you!

    Our cake was delicious! How rare it is to find a wedding cake where you actually want a second piece!! We look forward to enjoying the top tier on our anniversary... but I think we might have to order a cake again well before then because I am honestly craving it- it was that good! The baker took a few photos we sent her as ideas and created the perfect cake to fit our vision. She was responsive to emails, and always professional and friendly. She even created a few gluten free cupcakes that perfectly matched our cake to that my mother could enjoy our cake despite her allergies. We loved everything about our experience working with her!

    Belle Dolci's reply:

    Thank you so much for your incredibly kind review. I am beyond happy to hear that you love the cake and look forward to making others for you whenever you'd like.

    I got connected with Belle Dolci through the Inn where I had my elopement. The cake was beautiful and the taste was amazing. I had the strawberry flavor, with strawberries and vanilla buttercream icing. It was just perfect!

    Melissa is a wonderful person who makes the MOST AMAZING wedding cake you've EVER had. My husband and I had a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting from Bella Dolci last weekend for our elopement ceremony at Friends Lake Inn and would highly recommend to anyone getting married in the area!! Melissa was so attentive to all of our needs and always professional even though we booked our wedding with less than 2 weeks notice!!! I only wish we lived closer so we could order her cakes for every event!! Thank you Melissa for everything!!!

    Simply put, Belle Dolci is fantastic. We would highly recommend them to any couple interested in using them for their cake. From our first contact with Melissa to the very end, she was super responsive. Having only provided her with a few pictures and a general idea of what we were looking for, she delivered a beautiful and delicious cake. It was spot-on! Kudos to Belle Dolci - we will definitely use them again for other important occasions.

    She took our deposit and ghosted us

    Absolutely would not recommend. Melissa was very responsive when inquiring about her desserts prior to booking. She encouraged us to book our date before receiving a cake tasting saying she only had one spot for our date left. We put a deposit and chose our cake tasting and it all went downhill from there. Probably because she had our money. She never delivered our cake tasting making up many many excuses which we believed at first. We were uncomfortable continuing with her if she couldn’t even deliver a tasting by three different dates she promised and requested our deposit be returned. It’s been two weeks and we are still waiting. Suddenly she can’t answer an email or phone call. If you want one more headache while wedding planning go with Melissa!
