    If you're looking for a cake in the Grand Rapids area, don't go anywhere else. Sue is a small business owner who puts everything into her cakes. She is extremely knowledgeable and personable and really works to get to know her clients and provide them with the cake of their dreams. My husband and I were let down by several vendors, and needed to find someone nearly last minute... and all while planning from out of state. Sue met with me the day after I contacted her and we were so pleased with our tasting. She delivered the cake and set it up beautifully. It was PERFECT! It was gorgeous and we had so many compliments on it. Thank you, Sue!

    Sue was absolutely wonderful! We ended up having to change venues a couple different times and each time she was still willing to work with us. The cake was gorgeous and tasted amazing! All of our guests were telling us how moist and delicious the cake was. I would highly recommend Sue to anyone looking for a wedding cake. She knows her stuff and cares deeply about the cakes she makes. Super affordable as well.

    This was a dream come true. I was originally going to do sheet cakes because I couldn't afford a Tier cake but I ended up getting a 4 tier wedding cake for the SAME price as sheet cakes. And the cake was GORGEOUS. Everyone at my wedding was talking about it. Sue is the sweetest woman and is so flexible and easy to work with. She dropped the cake off at my reception hall and did all the setup. The lights, tulle and cake stand are all included as well. It was absolutely gorgeous! I highly recommend Sue!

    Very easy to work with. When we did the tasting we tasted frosting only-not cake flavors and I thought that was odd but I put my faith in Sue and everything was amazing. So many compliments on our cake. We had a three tier cake with the first two tiers being carrot cake, and the top tier being a marble with a raspberry mouse filling. We have yet to try and the top tier but I am so excited to do so on our one year! She was so kind and sweet. We rented a cake stand and some tulle and lighting to go along with the cake decor from her which she delivered at the reception venue and we provided the flowers to decorate the cake-I thought we were going to end up decorating it ourselves but she did it all for us!

    Absolutely the BEST!

    I first found out about Sue’s wedding cakes when she made my friend’s. I fell in love. The following year my sister got married and I insisted we get the wedding cake from Sue. It was amazing! Two years later it was my turn. I had to have Sue make my cake. Each cake was a little different but no less delicious and beautiful. Flash forward 5 years and Sue just made my 5 year anniversary cake. My husband and I loved our wedding cake so much, we always said we’d indulge again on our 5 year anniversary. I was so happy that Sue was still in business. Best of all, she made the cake to look just like my wedding cake! Her attention to detail and commitment to customers is what sets her apart. I will always refer people to Sue!

    Sue is truly amazing. She exceeded our expectations AND was within our budget!! We never imagined having a cake so gorgeous!

    We met her at her location and she sat down and showed us hundreds of cakes!! She was so patient! When we finished looking at the pictures, she let us design our own!!! We literally had 7 different cake pictures that we wanted to combine to create our special cake! She even let us choose how to present the cake (I.e. what serving tray it gets displayed on). Not only was our cake stunning but it was DELICIOUS!! We went with the white chocolate frosting with a chocolate cake with chocolate mouse and raspberry drizzle!! SO GOOD! I'm not a cake person--but WOW! AMAZING! She was one the cheapest vendors too! I would recommend her to anyone!! I have shared her link on my Facebook page many times because she impressed us that much!

    Our cake cutting services (provided by the reception hall) accidentally threw out some of her cake accessories which we gladly paid a TINY fee for-- she was so apologetic for making us pay. I think she apologized at least 8 times for charging us. We had no problem paying her to reimburse her for what was thrown out!!! She truly is the sweetest person ever and truly CARES about each customer. Her cakes will make your special day that much more perfect.

    When almost every guest at the reception comments how wonderful the reception is and then follows that comment with the question..."Who did your cake?"...you know you have found something special. Quite honestly, the cake had everyone ohhhing and ahhhing! No one had ever seen a cake as beautiful.

    I planned the wedding from 700 miles away. Sue was very easy to work with...I did not have any strong opinions about what I wanted the cake to look like and left it to the professional. Her design exceeded my expectations. While the cake was beautiful to look at...it tasted wonderful as well...her attention to detail and display were greatly appreciated. I would use her again in a minute!

    Sue was very professional, kind, and accommodating. She knew lots about cakes and was able to answer questions I had. She delivered a Beautiful and Elegant cake that tasted great! She definitely makes her part of your wedding process stress free!

    Im so glad after 5 other tastings I finally found Sue. My first impression was that she is very kind and very professional. What really impressed me was she had live cake displays for you to look at instead of just pictures. She has an amazing vision and my husband and I were so wowed by our wedding cake. We got lots of compliments on how delicous the cake was. I would recommend Sue for any event especially your wedding because I know you wont be disappointed.

    I got so many compliments on how beautiful and delicious the cakes were. I only regret that I didn't get to have more. Even our last minute design changes came off flawlessly. The birchbark design was beautiful with the pinecones and the price was amazing. I am especially impressed with Sue's ability to find us blueberry filling. It was great and made it all the more special.

    Sue did an amazing job with my duaghter's wedding cake. It not only looked beautiful but also tasted amazing! So many quests at the wedding were commenting on how moist and delicious it was.
    Thanks Sue-I am so glad I found your website and met with you!

    The overall experience with Cakes by Sue was excellent. She planned things well in advanced and communicated to us very well. She did a phenomenal job designing our cake and delivered it on time. When we got to our reception venue we were so stunned on how great it looked. The price of her cakes are less than half of what vendors from wedding shows would charge. You will not find a better bang for your buck!

    We called & left a message with Sue & she returned our call, answered our questions, & set up an appointment. She was very accommodating as we are from California and got married in Grand Rapids, MI. We had some ideas for both our wedding & grooms cake & Sue designed both exactly as we had envisioned! At our appointment, we tasted the different icings & fillings to help decide what we wanted. Our cakes were gorgeous & delicious! We had so many guests tell us how much they loved the cake & the price was so affordable. She even decorated the whole cake table beautifully & included some origami penguins we had made. We highly recommend Cakes & Crafts By Sue! Thanks again for helping to make our wedding day so special!

    Absolutely the best! Sue is fabulous at what she does. EVERYONE raved over the cake. She was on time, professional, and best of all the cake was moist and delicious. So fresh! We gave out boxes of cake to take home and many ate the second piece while at the wedding they loved the cake so much. I am elated that I made the right decision to use Cakes By Sue......Thanks Sue...You rock!

    Favorite vendor at our wedding! Everyone raved about how delicious the cake was and it was absolutely stunning - even prettier than the picture I gave her of what I wanted it to look like. I tried a lot of cakes from a lot of Grand Rapids and Holland bakeries and they were all dry but Sue's cake is very fresh - which was super important to me. I would definitely recommend Cakes by Sue.

    The cake not only looked amazing, but everybody was saying how much they enjoyed eating the cake as well. My husband and I couldn't even make ourselves save the whole top layer for our one year... we just had to eat it now! (we only froze two pieces.)

    Cake was absolutely beautiful, she matched the flowers my daughter had picked out perfectly with the design & ribbon on the cake. Also the cake tasted great, she had a lot of options to pick from for cake flavors, fillings and frostings. Great price as well - $1.50/slice. Does not do cupcakes. The presentation of the cake was beautiful as well, she displayed it on a mirrored tray on top of a silver pedestal stand with tule & lights.

    We loved Sue! It's obvious that this is not only her job, but her passion! We had to change the size of the cake a few weeks shy of the wedding and she was so great about it! We had so many compliments on both the looks and taste of our cake. You won't be disappointed!

    Sue was the only vendor who could meet with us on a weekend (we live out of town and so do the bride and groom!) The cake was absolutely delicious and THE most reasonably priced! We ordered extra cake so each of our 200 guests was served a very nice sized piece. The leftover cake was enjoyed for several days after we returned home...it traveled well and was still deliciously moist! The white cake with strawberry filling was perfect...thank you Sue! I highly recommend you meet with her;)
