    The most amazing cake!

    April did an amazing job for our wedding. The cake was not only beautiful, but it was moist and delicious. All of my guests were raving about it days later. We also had mini cheesecakes, cake pops, and macarons and they were all equally as delicious.

    Cake and Wedding Food

    Our wedding cake was absolutely delicious and gorgeous! Everyone raved how amazing the cake was. We had two different flavors: Lemon Blueberry/ and PB &J and they were phenomenal! Our guest also loved the appetizers specifically the buffalo meatballs., They loved the green beans and the tenderloin.

    Not a Crumb Left

    We were really hoping to eat more of this cake after the cake cutting but when we turned around (it really seemed that fast) IT WAS ALL GONE!!
    Taste was decadent; Moust texture; Design exceeded our expectations.

    You did that Ms April Dixon!

    50th Anniversary Vow Renewal

    This was the best experience ever! Could not have dreamed of a more beautiful cake, not to mention hands down Delicious! We were down for parents 50th Anniversary vow renewal and it was awesome! Ms April was phenomenal! Her attention to detail and knowledge of her craft were second to none! She helped me through this process and honestly, I had no idea what I was doing (but she made me look good). I would definitely recommend her service and if I am every in the area again in need of a specialty desert; I believe I have already found the best! Thank you, Bonne Vie Specialty Custom Cakes and Deserts God Bless!

    Work of Art: Custom Cake & Cupcakes

    I was looking for a custom cake & matching cupcakes for a a Christmas Eve event. After a month of frustration, and no baker or bakery returning my calls; April responded quickly & was so eager to help. She simply said "send me the pictures of what you're looking for & I can make it happen."

    After driving into Seagrove from Houston 9 1/2 hours, I didn't have to worry about driving out to Destin to pick up my custom order. April personally drove them out to me at our condo.

    When she brought them inside and opened the boxes, I was blown away. The cake was absolute art and the matching cupcakes adorable! I was beyond pleased.

    They brought my friend to tears that evening when we surprised her. The strawberry cake and buttercream icing were divine!

    April is my absolute go to girl from now on whenever I need custom treats! The price was reasonable based on the product she delivered. No complaints whatsoever.

    Please consider her for your custom cake & cupcake needs.

    Amazing Wedding Cakes and Desserts!

    April was amazing! We gave her a couple of inspiration pictures and she created the most beautiful cakes and mini desserts! We met with her for a tasting and she was very personable and listened to what we wanted. We decided to order a groom’s cake and six various desserts in addition to our wedding cake. She gave us recommendations on how much we would need with our guest count. She was also able to rent out the perfect cake and dessert displays. Everything was a hit- especially the salted caramel groom’s cake! Thank you April!

    Home away from home

    The most amazing, modern and gorgeous cake. With a family of cake snobs from New Orleans having a destination wedding for my daughter made me nervous. The cake and the grooms cake was as delicious as it was beautiful and the service was impeccable. Thank you soooo much for helping make our day that much more special.

    Last minute wedding plans

    My son and his fiance' let me know a month before our summer vacation to Destin that they just wanted to get married on the beach while we were there. I called April and told her what I was looking for. Without any taste testing and face to face conversations, she took my order over the phone and I blindly left everything up to her. Both the wedding cake and the groom's cake were delivered on time and were extremely beautiful! The taste was out of this world and more than I could have dreamed of!!! Everyone was so impressed with those cakes. I would recommend April and Bonne Vie to anyone looking for the absolute best!! Thank you so much for saving the day April!!! I truly appreciate all of your help!!! Laurie Picou

    Amazing flavor, set up and service

    If you are getting married in the panhandle, April is your go-to dessert queen!
    She has so easy to worth with and so creative. She helped us create an array of delicious desserts. She including some greenery and flowers in her display.
    We received endless comments from our guests re: how delicious the desserts were and how beautiful the setup was.
    And her prices are extremely reasonable.
    Thank you, April!!!

    We were referred to Bonne Vie Specialty via our wedding planner, Elysian Events. Let me first start off by saying that April is an absolute pleasure and southern belle! We only met just one time at our tasting, however she is a great gal! It's always nice to meet the "face" behind deliciousness. As far as her cakes are concerned... Decadent! As a matter of fact, when one of our vendors learned that Bonne Vie was making our cake she was EXTRA excited! Apparently they are very well known as some of the best cakes throughout the gulf (we had no idea because we had a destination wedding and are not from the area).

    We ordered a "naked cake" and April did a phenomenal job making the cake look absolutely stunning (like something you'd see on Pinterest)! Our flavors were lemon/berry and peach/bourbon which were deliciously to die for. Our guests raved about how fabulous the cake was. We decided instead of saving a tier of our cake for our one year anniversary that we would just go back to the gulf and celebrate with a fresh cake. We look forward to ordering from you again, April!

    Thank you Bonne Vie Specialty!

    where do i even begin! YUM!! going into i wasn't sure if she would be able to recreate the wedding cake of my dreams, but man did she deliver. I couldn't have been happier. from the wedding cake to the grooms cake and even the macrons she made were so delicious. Definitely going to have to get more macrons just on a daily basis, and any cakes for special occasions. Red velvet, almond are heavenly and even my husbands chocolate galore cake was pretty tasty.

    We had a great experience with April. We add an appointment with her to taste samples. Her lemon-lavender sample was delicious and refreshing. There isn't too much sugar in her cake. She ordered miniatures for us and made a beautiful beach themed two-tiers cake. She worked with the caterer and our coordinator to deliver the cake at the reception. It was perfect!

    April was so great! We were undecisive on our cake flavor and design and she gave us lots of suggestions that helped us pick the perfect design and flavor profile for our wedding that depicted us perfectly! She is very sweet and always excited! Love her and would definitely recommend her in the future to any friends asking! Thank you so much for making our special day that much better!

    Working with April was absolute Joy!! I asked for a small 4,6,9 wedding cake with a few intricate details and she did not disappoint! It was prettier than the picture I gave her and the taste was to die for. Everyone loved the cake so much people, that the following month I asked her to make the same type of cake as a sheet cake for our pastor appreciation day. She's reasonably priced, dependable, but most importantly she provides you with the highest quality cake I've ever tasted. I'd recommend her for anyone whether they need a birthday cake or a wedding cake, April is amazing!!

    We absolutely loved our wedding cake from Bonne Vie! My cake ended up being one of the last things on my to-do list so I contacted them pretty last minute and they were so easy to work and communicate with. They created a beautiful and delicious naked style cake that I just wanted to stare at all night long. We were very impressed with everything.

    April was recommended to us by Christine at 790 on the Gulf and April did an amazing job in creating our custom wedding/groom's cake. She was so flexible and the cake was so 'us'. The cakes are all very reasonably priced, and I didn't have to worry about anything. Thank you! It was exactly what I envisioned!

    April was wonderful to work with!! From the moment we sat down in our first meeting we were on the same page. Halfway through the planning we realized that we had to cut back the cake from originally a four tier cake - April took it all in stride and didn't miss a beat! She let us taste a bunch of different cake samples - which were all delicious. I chose her Slow Southern(peaches & bourbon) for my three tier wedding cake. It was phenomenal, I received compliments on the flavor all night. Our Groom's cake was a Chocolate Salted Caramel(which she made a 1990 300zx model), and we had mini cupcakes of Carrot cake, Coconut cake, and Red Velvet. Her display was gorgeous - thank you again!

    I love April! The cake was amazing to say the least. I made a few changes along the way but she was very patient and she met me on a few hours notice when my daughter and I were visiting the area for a quick cake tasting. On the day of the wedding the weather wasn't favorable so she made a connection with a friend to take some more pictures of us on a more pleasant day. This was wayyyyyy more than I expected. One meeting with her and you will be sold. She is an excellent baker with a winning and genuine personality that can't be beat. Trust me you will have no regrets with Bonne Vie!!!

    April was amazing to work with she brought us cupcakes to sample when we were trying to decide. The flavors were all so yummy it was hard to choose. The cake we received was delicious. We turned around after the cake cutting and the cake was gone. There was no more cake for guests to have because everyone wanted more than one piece. We were able to have three different flavors of cake and it made all the difference. Thank you so much April!

    The cake was AMAZING!! Everyone was talking about how delicious it was. I should've ordered it a little bigger because it didn't expect it to be such a hit!! The hubby said he wants her to possibly make us a smaller one for our anniversary next year since the top tier wasn't saved due to us traveling. He said it was the best cake he's ever eaten. Def recommend Bonnie Vie Soecialty Foods.

    Exceptional. I couldn't ask for one tiny detail to be better. April met me at my makeup trial and filled out my paperwork so that I didn't have to spend a dime or a second of my stressful time before the wedding driving to her. I didn't ask her to do this, nor would I have even thought of it. She brought me samples to try, and they were all awesome. I've never had ANY dessert as delicious as the chocolate cake I decided on. I don't even like chocolate cake usually! (I actually want to just purchase a chocolate sheet cake every other week from her to eat- my husband agrees.) I was most concerned about the looks of the cake. I talked to a couple other places who wanted to charge me over $500 or couldn't make it exactly the way I wanted, etc. I showed April a picture, after contacting her with extremely short notice (a week before the wedding), and she said she would do it for $225. I was thrilled. Didn't expect it to be perfect, because how is she going to do it for $225 if the other place couldn't do it for $500? I wish I could show a picture of what I wanted and what she made. I didn't even see her on the wedding day. She delivered the cake to my wedding. When I saw it I was FLOORED!! It was so perfect, I couldn't have asked for anything more than what April did. My cake was exactly what I wanted, and hers looked better than the picture I showed her! Everyone loved it. This lady is extremely accommodating and exceptionally talented. I can't rave about her and my cake enough.

    April was so kind!! Her cake was amazing, her flavors were out of this world. She catered to my mothers peanut allergy without hesitation! She made everything so easy and I never had any worry that our big day wouldn't be perfect! I would recommend her for any wedding, small or large event!!! She is a true professional! Thank you April again for making our big day special!! -

    April was very accommodating. I saw a cake she had made from a previous wedding and fell in love with it. She very politely put up with me changing the number of tiers and flavors several times and it turned out PERFECT! It was delivered on time and she set it up and placed my cake topper on it for me. She even had to tweek it on site to accommodate the cake topper, but she did it without problem. I would definitely use her again if I was ever in the area and had the need.

    April did an amazing job making our wedding cake and grooms cookie cake! Our wedding was a destination event and after tasting other cakes from that local area, I was feeling pretty hopeless on finding the 'perfect' cake - that is until I stumbled across Bonne Vie on Facebook! She went above and beyond to make sure we received exactly what we were wanting for our special day. It turned out better than I could've ever imagined! Our guests were blown away not only by the gorgeous presentation but also by the taste! Over a week later and people are still talking about how delicious it was! I would recommend Bonne Vie to everyone in her area!

    We had the pleasure of having Bonne Vie Specialty Foods prepare our desserts for our wedding. They turned out absolutely exquisite. Our guests expressed the same comments. With very little direction from my husband and I, she was able to create exactly what we envisioned and even exceeding our expectations. Beautiful and delicious...does it get any better?

    She was going through some changes in where she was located that so it was hard to reach her for a couple days. But the Quality of the cake was beautiful and she was on time to the event. I had many guests at my wedding who told me this was the best cake they had ever had. I would definitely hire her again for an event.

    Delicious!

    April made us an amazing lemon lavender wedding cake and three flavors of mini cheesecakes. The cheesecakes were what sold us to her. The sample she provided was amazing and the three flavors we chose were beyond delicious. The Oreo cheesecake was by far a crowd favorite. If I could have her cheesecakes shipped to me in DC, I would. I definitely recommend April for your wedding or any event!

    What can I say other than the cake was nothing less of "heavenly"! My daughter's wedding was a destination wedding in Destin and so to initially choose a baker was a bit of a challenge, but after speaking to our reception venue, Bonne Vie came more than highly recommended. My daughter traveled to Destin in September to meet with April and for design/tasting...she said there was no doubt that April was the lady to create her dream cake. Mind you...dream cake is more about the taste than anything else. Although we only had a total of 24 people, we chose a cake to serve 75 (after reading several reviews, we had no doubt that it was smarter to up the size as her cake is so good, people want more than the standard "cake slice". On May 20th, we had no disappointment...she had a white cake with one layer of peach bourbon and another with banana's foster and it was fantastic. The cake was decorated exactly according to my daughter's liking. The only reason I rated 3 stars for responsiveness is that she is so busy in her craft that sometimes it can be difficult to get an immediate response, but this is a minor thing...the cake is worth it!

    We had 3 different flavors of cake--all 3 were a hit! I heard great reviews from our guest about how delicious the cakes were. The only downfall was that there wasn't enough, which was originally my concern. I think what we paid and the amount we got weren't equal (especially since each was one tier and no design) but the quality, look and taste were definitely there! If you primarily want quantity (enough for everyone plus some), go to Publix or Costco, but if you want unique and yummy flavor combinations, this is the place!

    April's product was AMAZING! She was highly recommended by my photographer, and the cake was certainly the hit of the reception. My wedding was back in March and I still have people commenting on how beautiful the cake was and how tasty it was! However, communication was sort of a downfall, this was a destination wedding and we all know the ulcers that can come with planning. I never actually met or spoke with April over the phone, and believe me I had tried. Everything at my destination wedding had come together so well, and honestly this lack of communication and the weather were what gave me the biggest ulcers... I had gotten an email a day and a half before the wedding saying that she didn't get the flavors I had requested and she needed them no later than 48 hours prior . I sent them to her again and never heard back, at that point I wasn't convinced there'd be a cake... With that said, my family said that April was very accommodating and pleasant to work with in person when she hand delivered the cake/cupcakes prior to the reception.

    April was happy to create something unique and seemed really eager to please. She even shipped samples to us.

    Unfortunately, half way through planning she went silent. She wouldn’t respond for two weeks sometimes, but we had paid in full. She always had an excuse, but it was seriously anxiety inducing not knowing what was going on.

    Her overall result was beautiful and delicious though! In the end she set up and presented a beautiful cake. Keep in mind though, when she estimates servings, they are very small. We even ordered up a size and STILL had zero left overs.

    Do not hire for a detailed cake

    I sent her a picture and asked if she could do it. She said yes. The surf boards looked like a piece of crooked fondant, no details and looked nothing like a surf boards and especially the pic I sent. To top it off she used a black food marker to write on it. So cheap looking and not professional! I text her 4 times about this.... SILENCE... 0 STARS!!!! $205 for an 8” one tier with topper that looked nothing like the surf boards in the pic...
