Exquisite cake

The cake made for a 50th birthday was not only beautiful but equally delicious. Unlike any other cake we’ve ever had! This was our first experience with Lisa and we were so impressed with the design as well as the attention to detail. The lemon flavored cake, the raspberry filling between the layers and the meringue icing were all new to us. Most exceptional !

Lisa goes out of her way to make sure that you get exactly what you want. Everyone at my wedding could not stop talking about the cake and practically begged for seconds. She was amazing to work with and her cakes are PERFECTION!

Best GF Cakes

Ordered Lisa's cupcakes for my mom's 70th birthday, and everyone loved them. We also ordered GF and sugar free cheesecake cupcakes and they were delicious. We have tried many others, but these are the best cupcakes ever!

Lisa nailed our wedding cake vision. She listened to what we requested, and ran with it. She has so many varieties of flavors, all delicious. Our guests enjoyed our cake and cupcakes. Her sugar flowers are absolutely beautiful! We would absolutely recommend her!

We where so impressed

Lisa was a joy to work with from start to finish! The private tasting takes place in her beautiful home, and she has so many wonderful flavors, it was hard to pick! She was always available and responded quickly when we had any questions. She offered great advice in helping us design our cake and made sure we came up with something we loved. She arranged the amazing handmade sugar flowers on the cake and it was stunning and delicious. All of our guests commented on how great it tasted and how beautiful it looked. Lisa is very talented and also very kind and pleasant to work with. Highly Recommended!!!

Lisa was very professional and flexible. My husband and I went back and forth on how many desserts (we got cookies and cupcakes in addition to our cake) and Lisa was so accommodating. Everything was delicious, I had multiple guests talk about how tasty all the desserts were. And the cake was beautiful! Lisa is very close to father-in-laws house, and we will definitely going back to her for future celebrations! Couldn’t be happier with Candy & Confections!

Lisa was AMAZING to work with and her cake is the best cake I have ever had. She helped me design my cake from the bottom up and was so patient when trying to get my vision on paper. My guests were in complete awe over the finished product and a month later they are still talking about how good the cake was - rich and moist. We will now always use her for all of our cake and candy needs! Thank you so much Lisa! You truly are the best!

Overall an excellent baker and artist. Lisa is very friendly and personable and she clearly cares about meeting her customer's needs. I highly recommend!

Lisa made a small and beautiful 8 in cake plus our cupcake display AND made pineapple-cutout cookies for favors for our luau-themed wedding announcement party. Everyone RAVED about the look of the display and the design of the actual cake, and they also commented on the taste. We have no complaints, and would strongly recommend using Lisa as your baker for your event----her cakes/cookies are delicious and she's very accommodating and easy to work with!

Lisa was wonderful to work with. Her cakes are so good. We loved going to the consult and trying all different cakes and icing. For our wedding cake, we asked Lisa to incorporate 2 of our colors in an ombré effect on the cake... And she totally delivered. She also made 3 flowers to place on the cake out of sugar. She did such an amazing job. The cake tasted so good too! We will definitely be returning to Lisa for more.

I was referred to Lisa by the owner of the wedding venue I was using. I called her and scheduled a tasting. Lisa was very accommodating to fit us in on my husbands only day off. As soon as we took our first bite, we knew we found our baker!! Everything was delicious. It was very difficult to choose our flavors! We presented Lisa with a photo of a cake we found online. It was half white and half chocolate with strawberries. She assured us she could reproduce the result! And she DID!! The cake looked absolutely amazing and tasted just as great!! Our guests loved the cake and many had seconds!!! My kids are already planning what they want for their birthdays! So, we will definitely be placing new orders soon!! Lisa is so friendly and easy going. She was just fantastic to work with. Thank you Lisa you creating the wedding cake of our dreams!!!

Our wedding guests had to say about our wedding cake..... "AMAZING!!" Lisa's cakes at Candy & Confections are very moist and absolutely delicious! She's a little pricey compared to the average cake baker but it is worth every single penny! We loved that she was home-based and truly a one-woman show. This means she was able to pay close attention to our every request and detail. We started out with a very complicated cake tree design, featuring 7 different flavors including a separate vegan, gluten-free cake for 2 of our extremely allergic guests. Lisa went out of her way to make sure that the Vegan/Gluten-Free cake was made in complete isolation of the rest of the cakes...separate utensils, baking pans, even stored in a separate fridge. She even took the time to read every single ingredient on the back of her extracts, flavorings etc that she would be using to make sure it was "kosher". We were also very impressed with Lisa's diligence and patience as she helped us shop around for different carpenter vendors to make our concept of a "cake tree" come to life! Unfortunately, we weren't able to find exactly we wanted, but Lisa instantly came up with another amazing idea. She rented us one of her beautifully decorated display cakes, and designed a beautiful matching one-tier cake that my husband and I could cut during our cake cutting and STILL made our 6 other flavors to be served to our guests from the kitchen. This saved us over $400 in the cake budget. She's a GENIUS! Our cakes were delivered and set-up early and everything was perfect! We can't wait to order our complimentary anniversary cake in the next 9 months! Oh yes, she gives you that too, no more freezing the top of your wedding cake for a year. Thanks again Lisa! :-)

Cake is my weakness. My husband (then fiance) was initially pretty willing to go with anyone I liked enough within the right price range, but after visiting a few bakers, he commented on how flavorless and dry most of them were. Then we met with Lisa. Not only was she willing to work with us to make our somewhat non-traditional design happen, she also made sure we got to taste interesting flavors that appealed to us and our crowd. (We ended up with the bottom tier of peach cake with raspberry mousse filling with fresh raspberries in it, and the 2nd tier was chocolate cake with peanut butter mousse and peanut butter cup pieces in it.) The cake was incredible - it was moist, flavorful and delicious! But it was also STUNNING! We purchased a small castle and Lisa crafted a beautiful sugar dragon with delicate lace wings curled up around it and one of the wings hovering over the castle protectively. She obviously spent a LOT of time on the details - there was no pattern pressed into the dragon's skin, she made each scale individually. She even copied the design from our invitations onto the cake itself! And best of all, we got to keep the dragon and castle afterward. We got so many comments from our guests about how delicious the cake was but everyone was raving about how gorgeous it was. Lisa is an artisan and we could not have been happier with our cake. It was perfect!

My Bride and I had given up on a wedding cake for our wedding until we found Lisa Stoudt at the Reading Country Club Bridal Show! Lisa's dedication to us and what our vision of the perfect wedding cake was truly amazing! The time and effort she put into helping us decide the flavors and styling was remarkable and not copied by any other wedding cake maker! Not to mention the beauty and delicious taste of the finished wedding cake!!!! I highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a beautiful, individualized cake that tastes great! Her attentiveness and dedication to her craft comes through as art and her capabilities are endless! I know our new family has found our baker for years to come and can't wait for the next occasion to call Lisa and order a cake!!!!

Wow! We were absolutely delighted with our wedding cake and with the service provided by Lisa Stoudt! Lisa was so easy to work with and even provided samples of her work when we went to look at what kind of cakes she could provide. Awesome! That's all I can say! Everything we tasted was just too delicious! The hardest part was making a choice from among all of the wonderful choices that she offered!
For our wedding, Lisa was so artistic and used the red roses that we gave her to make a work of art on our cake so that our wedding cake blended right in with the theme of red roses for our Valentine Day weekend wedding. She followed our directions to a T and everything was perfect! The cake was delicious and we received many compliments and inquiries from our guests.
In the future, when I need a cake or other confections, I know exactly where to go!

Lisa Stoudt provided the cake for our wedding at the GoggleWorks. The whole experience was fantastic! It started with an amazing tasting with a variety of cakes and icing that we were able to mix and match. And we were able to take all the leftovers from the tasting home. My husband still talks about the tasting:) The cake she created for us was absolutely beautiful. It was exactly what I wanted! And more importantly, it was delicious. All the guests I spoke with, loved it. I would recommend Lisa to anyone to create a beautiful cake for a wedding or any other important event!

We had a very specific wedding cake design that we wanted for our wedding, yet we didn't really think too much about the actual taste. My sister, the maid of honor who is a foodie, urged us to let her come along to ensure the cake tasty. Prior to meeting with Lisa, we had several cake tasting appointments that were all the same- vanilla and chocolate cake with buttercream icing. While they didn't offer us other flavors, they claimed they would taste good as well as look good.

This brings us to our cake tasting appointment with Lisa. She is passionate about baking and it surely comes through in her work. This was the best appointment by far. Lisa offered us at least 6 or more varieties of cake and at least 10 fillings to taste. I wish we hadn't wasted our appetite on the previous cakes because Lisa's cakes was on a completely other level. After seeing her ribbon rose "practice cake", we knew that we had met our baker.

Our cake was very unique and gold. Lisa made sure to test out her technique and consult with industry professionals to ensure she could deliver the dream cake that we showed her. We went with vanilla, chocolate brownie, almond and red velvet layers. On top of the cake, Lisa also made the dessert bar. All of the decadents made by Lisa were beyond delicious. I had guests walking to tables and asking to eat slices that were untouched.

Now that our wedding is one month over, I am still getting asked about the cake. Everyone said that it was not only the prettiest cake, it was also the most delicious cake they have eaten. Don't settle for the pretty "cardboard" cake. It is possible to have a moist delicious wedding cake too!

Candy and Confections by Lisa Stoudt blew us away from the moment we stepped in the door for our initial meeting and cake tasting. She gave us so many options to taste and made it so much fun to do so. There are so many flavors and combinations and they are ALL delicious. In addition, we were looking for a Gluten-Free cake and regular cupcakes. Lisa went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. She also, by far, has the best Gluten-Free cakes. They taste exactly the same as her regular cakes, which is awesome. Our display was absolutely beautiful and was exactly what I was looking for. I have and will continue to recommend Lisa any time someone is looking for any kind of baking. I will also continue to go to Lisa for anything I need in the future. She is amazing baker, decorator, and business owner. Thank you for everything, Lisa!!

I contacted Lisa to request a groom's cake, and all I knew was what flavors I wanted the cake to be and that my soon-to-be-husband (at the time) would love some sort of Philadelphia sports logos to be the theme of the cake decorations. Lisa took on my fairly unusual cake flavor request (banana chocolate chip cake with peanut butter filling) without hesitation. My family and I are not really 'cake people' and we could NOT stop raving about how delicious the flavor and density of the cake was. Everyone at the rehearsal dinner was quite anxious to cut into the cake and taste it! In addition to the cake being absolutely mouth-watering, the decorations were PERFECT. Everyone was getting up to take pictures of the cake, which was decorated with a Phillies and Eagles theme. It was exactly what I was hoping to get. Thank you so much Lisa for such a beautiful and delicious cake with a flawless business interaction to go along with it!

I was amazed at how gorgeous and delicious our wedding cake was. I had several people tell me that she made the best cake they ever had (and I agree!). She even made us an anniversary cake the following year (for free!) that was equally beautiful and delicious. Her pictures don't do nearly the justice of the quality of her cakes. Even at the consultation, I wasn't blown away. But I am sure glad I chose Lisa to make our cake because it was one of the most memorable parts of our special day.

My daughter's wedding cake was outstanding in both flavor and appearance. The custom made sugar flowers were absolutely gorgeous. Lisa's cinnamon flavored cake is beyond delicious--the texture of her cakes is perfect. She also did mini desserts for us--bite-sized cheese cakes topped with cherries and with salted caramel; mini cream puffs with chocolate mousse; and bite-sized coconut cakes (my favorite!!!). The display and cake-scaping Lisa did was elegant. In addition, Lisa could not do enough to accommodate our every request and wish. Our entire wedding cake experience-from the initial cake tasting visit to the final delivery of the finished cake to the venue-was wonderful!

I discovered Lisa Stoudt at one of the Bridal Fairs I attended. She made an amazing vanilla cinnamon cake which I felt would be perfect for my fall wedding. I wanted to have cupcakes and a variety of desserts for my "cake." Lisa Stoudt was very accommodating to me and made several different desserts for my wedding. The sugar flowers she makes are gorgeous; I loved the flowers she made for the top of my small cake. My guests just loved everything she made; I received a lot of compliments. I would highly recommend this vendor.

Lisa was absolutely amazing to work with. The cake she made for our wedding had 5 different flavors and it was very detailed. She spent a great deal of time assembling the cake for us at the reception. People were just blown away by the cake design/layout and all of the hand blown sugar creations she had made for us. I would recommend her to anyone because she is very easy to work with and will create whatever you would like her too. She is extremely talented.

Lisa Stoudt is an absolute delight and so are her creations!!! I called her three weeks before my wedding and she easily accommodated my short time frame though busy herself making MANY other cakes! I had somewhat of an "unusual" idea for my wedding cake. She took the picture that I gave her and made the most beautiful creation! Every guest commented on how beautiful AND delicious the cake was - every flavor (we had three tiers) was fantastic- and every guest commented that it was the best cake they have ever tasted. Thank you Lisa! You helped to ENHANCE all of my wedding memories by being such a JOY to work with! Your work is proof that you love what you do!

We found Elisa at the last minute, and we sure are happy we did! We had some problems finding someone who could make a beautiful starry night/celestial themed cake for our wedding at the Reading Public Museum's Planetarium, but Elisa came through and delivered a cake that was both delicious AND beautiful! We have been hearing since our wedding last weekend how fantastic the cake was. My husband and I had a very specific vision and Elisa came through for us, creating exactly what we wanted! We have no complaints and will absolutely hire her again for any of our dessert-related needs!

I can't say enough about Lisa. Her creative vision is fantastic. O, and her cake is nothing to sneeze at either. Decoration was beautiful, and the cake was so moist and delicious. I would absolutely use Lisa again.

My husband and I chose Candy and Confections by Lisa Stoudt for our wedding cake. Our decision was based on a combination of good reviews and the fact that our venue didn't charge a cutting/serving fee if we went with her. Initially, my husband wasn't that interested in being involved with the cake and left it up to me. A few months later, he had a definite opinion about the design of it. Lisa was very patient and professional with us no matter how many times we made changes. In addition to how pleasant she is to work with, she also has very reasonable prices compared to some others, and only uses the highest quality ingredients. The high quality really shows in the product. At the bridal fair we attended, her samples put all the rest to shame and a week after the wedding, what remained of our cake was still moist and delicious. Even my bridesmaid who hates fondant had no problem with hers. The design was lovely enough to be on one of those wedding shows and all of the elements were done very carefully and cleanly, which I really appreciate. Basically, if you want a beautiful, delicious cake that wont stress your budget and you want a professional who wont cut corners, just save yourself some time and go with Lisa Stoudt.

From the time we first met with Lisa, she was professional and prepared. At our tasting, she had several types of cakes and frostings for us to taste. Everything was delicious and it was difficult to make a choice. In the weeks leading up to our wedding she was easy to contact and reached out to us whenever necessary. On our wedding day, she made a beautiful cake that was exactly what we had discussed. We also asked her to make several fingertip desserts for a dessert table. The guests loved the variety and we received many compliments about the dessert. Thanks Lisa!

Lisa designed our wedding cake based off of a beach themed picture I found in a bridal magazine. It not only included all the details we asked for, but also was individualed toward our wedding colors with a few added creative bonuses. I was so eager to see how it turned our on my wedding day and it definitely exceeded my expectations. I never thought I would get so emotional about a cake, but it definitely brought me to tears because it far exceeded my expectations and brought our whole theme together. Lisa was friendly, professional and creative. The cake was beautiful and it tasted amazing. I would recommend her to a couple seeking a detail oriented cake maker passionate about creativity as well as cake.

Have you heard the adage "You get what you pay for"? Not at Candy and Confections by Lisa Stoudt in the Reading, PA area. The appearance of the cake outdid all our expectations and was all people were talking about, until they tasted it. That was when the sheer ecstasy took hold. We had both a chocolate cake filled with a french vanilla mousse and a yellow cake filled with a butterceam mousse (I think). They were excellent. Filled with flavor, moist and delicious. We got much more than we paid for, and Lisa was a joy to work with. Very accommodating and pleasant. You can't go wrong with this vendor!!!

We ordered our wedding cake a little over a year in advance. Lisa was amazing, providing us with many different cake, icing, and mousse samples to choose from. Our wedding cake was more beautiful than I ever imagined it would be and tasted just a great! It was perfect, and our guests were raving about the different tier flavors. In fact, every bit of cake was gone by the end of the reception because guests took seconds. She was very professional and contacted us 2 weeks and 1 week before the wedding to confirm colors, flavors, and details. She was extremely accomodating and thoughtful. Her unique style, made our cake one-of-a-kind. My husband and I were very pleased with her service. Working with her was easy and effortless. We were so happy when we saw our cake. She is truly an artist.....plus it tasted great. Our favorite was the peach cake with orange mousse filling.

Our cake topper, two crowns, is so picture perfect both of our photographers said they took more photos of this cake than any other because they loved it so much. She made sugared flowers that looked identical to the real flowers in vases surrounding the table.

Lisa Stoudt was so patient with my husband and I. After our first meeting, I completly changed the cake design and she did not show any resentment. In fact, she called us two weeks before to review the cake one last time so that it would be perfect!

It tasted delicious, red velvet with sour cream icing and many people had 2 slices. We actually did not have any to take home because so many people had more than one piece! How often does that happen?

We were able to keep the cake top and all of the flowers and have a shelf now dedicated to them!

Lisa did an amazing job on my recent wedding cake. She was extremely accommodating, and the cake turned out exactly as I had envisioned it! We received many compliments on how delicious the cake was as well. Lisa was able to add a special touch to our wedding cake - hand painted butterflies to represent each of our grandparents that were unable to make our wedding. It was the perfect touch and received great attention from our guests. Thanks again for an incredible wedding cake!

Lisa did an AMAZING job on both our wedding cake and grooms cake. She was professional, creative, and absolutely wonderful to work with. She pays attention to each and every detail and most importantly her cakes tasted delicious. My husband and I are constantly receiving compliments about our wedding cake and we are beyond grateful that chose Lisa to be a part of our big day.

I have had Lisa do a variety of desserts for me through the years, and I have always been extremely happy! Cream puffs, lemon squares, peanut butter eggs, ice cream and of course; cakes. This time, she actually did a 3 tiered cake for my daughters graduation. WOW----it was lovely---and delicious!! Red Velvet--my daughters favorite!! She has always given me the prices up front, so I am never surprised when I receive the final cost. (it's worth every penny!) Thank goodness Lisa takes time out of her busy schedule to give me a friendly reminder phone call since I sometimes forget to call her back to finalize the cake! I would be in trouble then--my friends and family always look forward to tasting Lisa's next wonderful creation. You get what you pay for, and if you want quality ingredients, a delicious dessert, and fabulous service from the tasting to the set up---I highly recommend Lisa.

Lisa's tasting party sells her cake. How delicious and fun. She was very helpful in decisions and very responsive to our preferences. The cake came out absolutely beautiful and it was nice to have one detail of the day you didn't have to worry about at all. Our only problem was the cake was so delicious, there were no leftovers. Can't wait for the first anniversary.

I am a very picky person. I was recomended to Lisa from another one of my vendors. I sent her an email inquiring some info and received a call the same day. We set an appointment to meet. My fiance and I went together. She offered a bunch of options and worked with us to plan the perfect combonation of flavors, even whipping up a lime flavor never previously having one. She was the first baker we met with, and after meeting with a few others, was the only one we even considered using. We chose a three tier cake with sugar flowers and butterflies covering it, in vanilla and chocolate with lime and strawberry mousse fillings. On my wedding day, my fiance and I took a moment before to look at the cake. It was everything I had wanted and more. I could not have been happier, and it tasted amazing to top it off. I heard comments from guests about how beautiful it was and how wonderful it tasted. People who didnt attend my wedding told me they heard the cake was amazing. I woud recomend Lisa to anyone considering her for their wedding cake, she will not disapoint you.

Lisa made us a groom's cake with real looking sugar cards and poker chips. It tasted as good as it looked. The wedding cake was just beautiful and one of a kind. Lisa really listens to what you want. She makes moist cakes and gives you many flavor options. She is quite artistic. She even moved up our delivery time right before the wedding even though she had another wedding cake to deliver. Thanks Lisa!

The wedding cake Lisa made for us was exceptional. Her edible daisies on the multi-layer cake were so detailed and accurate that they looked real. Many commented that it was the most elegant wedding cake they had ever seen. Lisa's artistic cake do not take away from the flavor, which was scrumptious. Lisa is a veritable artist and baker. She is patient and attuned to the desires of her clients. We had an idea in mind and she made it happen. Thanks, Lisa, for making the perfect cake for us.

We ordered individual cakes (3-inch round) for the guests at our wedding shower. Since the theme is “daisies,” Lisa made a daisy and leaves out of fondant and placed it on top of a stem of each cupcake. Vanilla cupcakes were in a white “vase” (base), and the chocolate ones were in yellow (the color of the bridal party’s gowns). Each base looked like a basket-woven container. Everything was edible except for the stem, which was a wire that went from the cupcake to the daisy. Besides being so pretty, the cupcakes tasted great. As I suspected, some people wanted to show their friends; thus, I had purchased boxes with a clear front for those who wanted to take them home. One other mentionable comment is that Lisa came to the banquet hall an hour prior to the event so that she could set up the cakes. She came dressed professionally, even though she came 1 hour before the guests. Very impressive! Great job, Lisa! Much appreciated—you are a true baker and artist.

Lisa was absolutely wonderful to work with! Her creativity and vision is much appreciated my someone like myself who is also of a design background. We hosted a destination wedding in November, and had a cocktail reception once we returned home. She took our colors, style, stationary design, and personalities and created cupcakes - in lieu of a wedding cake - which thrilled our guests! It became a game to figure out which of the two flavors were the favorite of the evening...the one I created, or the one my groom created. It was great fun, and our guests raved about how much they enjoyed the tasty gems. I would definitely recommend Lisa, and look forward to working with her again!

The cake that Lisa created for us was absolutely amazing. It contained three different layers and three types of icing.

I received so many positive comments from guests. They were absolutely blown away.

And, as a nice touch, we had Lisa create small chocolate favors for each guest. They were delectable.

Lisa made my wedding cake on September 12 2009, it was beautiful!! I have an allergy to wheat gluten and she was able to make part of the cake gluten-free. If you buy or make gluten-free cakes alot of time they are dry, but her cake was perfect. I highly recommend her to do your wedding cake or any other occasion!! The time she must put in to do the outside homemade icing is amazing!! Thank you so much for making a perfect wedding cake!!

Lisa designed a cake for my daughter in laws baby shower and the design was beautiful and the cake was the most delicious cake you have ever tasted. All the guests loved the cake. There were Teddy Bears on the cake and the top of the cake had a crib with a baby sleeping with a blue blanket (and you could see the baby's butt crack). Also over the crib was an embossed blanket, it was so beautiful. I would recommend Lisa for any occasion cake.

WOW! Lisa's work is phenomenal! We got so many compliments from our guest. Not only on the look of the cake, but the taste as well. We had three different layers- three different flavors. Alot of times there is cake left over from wedding. It's a good feeling knowing that at our wedding, the cake was close to gone! Our guest are still talking about it! Lisa provided exactly what we wanted and it was a lot of fun test tasting all the different idea's!!! It was truly perfect! :)

Lisa was very helpful in assisting us to design our cake. She provided us with the basic guidelines on what sizes would feed how many, and then we took it from there. When we finally saw our wedding cake for the first time it was AMAZING!!!
So much better than we had envisioned in our heads. And the flavors were amazing. But then we knew they would be. We fell in love with Lisa's cakes at first bite. And she didn't disapoint. When we went for our original tasting she had several cake and filling flavors to choose from. We will definitely be ordering more cakes in the future so we can enjoy more flavors than we were able to put in our cake.

Lisa did a wonderful job. Our wedding cake was even better then the samples we had. We had compliments on not only how the cake looked, but also the taste. It was delicious! We were married in Aruba and her cake was just what we wanted to remind us of our beach wedding. The design was more than I could have ever hoped for!
We will be using Lisa for all of our cake needs in the future; from birthdays to graduations, to baby showers! We would highly recommend her to anyone!

We were extremely pleased with our wedding cake by Lisa! We tasted many cakes at many bridal shows and as soon as we tasted Lisa's, I knew we HAD to have her cake at the wedding! She has so many flavors to choose from in the cakes, icing and mousse/filling. We has 3 tiers, square and scewed. We had ivory icing with chocolate brown ribbon around the base and cornflower blue swirls and dots all over. We wanted a look that was not your typical "wedding cake" and we were VERY pleased! It was beautiful! She was easy to work with and very professional. I would recommend her services to anyone and everyone!

We met with Lisa and she showed us pictures of cakes and they were all beautiful. We took the taste test and after that we knew she was making our cake, it was hard to decide which flavor. I took a picture from a magazine of the cake that I wanted she said she could make it. On our wedding day I could not believe how beautiful my cake was it looked just like the picture in the magazine. I was more than happy with the cake. Everyone love it and it was so delicious. I would recommend Lisa (Candy and Confections) for any occasion.

After meeting with several other cake vendors and feeling like I did not receive much personal attention, a friend recommended Lisa Stoudt. She provided very personal service. She invited me to come to her home(place of business) to sample a variety of cake flavors and filings. I spent about an hour taste testing and was then able to bring the rest home for my soon to be husband to sample also.
Lisa was creative and helped me with my style and worked with my florist on the flowers, one less thing I had to deal with.
The cake was perfect and everyone loved the two flavors and filings I had picked.
I felt as though her price was reasonable and comparable.

We used Candy and Confections for our Wedding Cake. All we did was tell them our colors and gave them a few ideas of what we were looking for and they completely designed our wedding cake from scratch. it was not a cookie cutter wedding cake out of a magizine. It was completely personalized to us. No one will ever have the same cake we had. At first we thought the price was a little expensive but after seeing our cake on our wedding day it was completely worth the price. The designer hand made edible stargazer lillies and dragonflies out of chocolate. They looked so real. We actually passed a couple around our wedding to prove to people they were edible. And of course the taste is as importent as the design. Although we didn't really get to eat the cake on our wedding day we did taste every flavor we chose at a personal taste testing. That presentation was done so professionally. Every flavor cake was equally delicious. And we got nothing but compliments on the cake the day of the wedding. We also order chocolate truffles as our favors. The price for each of those was next to nothing compared to the flavor. I would have paid alot more for something that delious. And again, there was a personalized design on the top of the truffles. I would highly recommed Candy and Confections for any of you cakes needs.

Lisa was absolutely amazing!!!!! She turned an unusual cake request into an absolute masterpiece! The cake was not only beautiful showing a forest seen by a pond, but also had a hand painted back drop and sugar art critters. I was so impressed but even more so with the absolute deliciousness of the cake itself. I would recomend her to anyone. She is talented, creative and a delicious baker.

Lisa was great to work with. Her cakes are not only beautiful, they are delicious as well. So many wedding cakes seem to look pretty and then have no flavor. Lisa's cakes definitely do not fall into that category. We had a hard time choosing our flavors at the tasting....everything was so good. We received a lot of great compliments on the cake.

Lisa was very easy to work with and open to all of our ideas. I had a "surprise" cake topper for my husband and she did a great job of helping to keep it a secret. I would definitely use Candy & Confections again!

Lisa ... Thank you for our wonderful weddign cake. It was the best cake - great flavors - Apple Spice with Strawberry Mousse - try it you may really like it too!!! I know we had a bigger cake then we needed, but so many people were asking to take pieces home due to the great taste. Thanks for doing the design exactly the way we wanted it. Nora (Crow) Schell.

Lisa makes very beautiful and delicious cakes and candies. I was concerned about going to a cake tasting because I do not like a lot of sweets. To my surprise I loved everything I tasted which made it very difficult to choose flavors. I selected a design from a magazine and Lisa was able to copy it perfectly. Lisa was very accommodating when a change in the wedding date occurred and we needed the cake a month earlier. Lisa also made candy favors for the wedding which was delicious and very pretty. I would highly recommend Lisa to bake a cake for any occasion.

In 2003, Lisa made my husband and I a beautiful and delicious wedding cake. I knew that I could count on Lisa to help me surprise my brother with a special and unique cake for his 30th birthday. Growing up my brother was (and still is) a huge Homer Simpson fan. Ironically, he (just like Homer) works in a nuclear power plant. We wanted to incorporate this theme into his cake. Lisa made a tiered cake in the shape of a nuclear power plant cooling tower and she also made a Homer Simpson figure out of gum paste. It looked fabulous! It was fun working with Lisa and she incorporated any special request I wanted for the cake. The final product was above and beyond my expectations. It was an awe-inspiring cake and it was such a piece of art that no one wanted to cut into it!! My brother was completely surprised and the cake was a big hit! In addition, the cake was very moist and delicious. Thank you Lisa for making a wonderful, yet edible work of art for my brother’s 30th birthday!

Our wedding cake was absolutely gorgeous, simple and elegant!!! It was everything I had hoped for. Lisa was able to make an amazing tasting cake within our budget that took my breath away. She also made us chocolate covered strawberries, lemon-raspberry tartlets, and mini-cheesecakes for those guest that wanted more than just wedding cake. There wasn't a dessert leftover if that is any indication how great everything was!!! Thanks Lisa!

Lisa is wonderful to work with. She is very creative and does excellent work. She did three cakes for me in one day! Now that is a woman who is dedicated to what she does. All of them were beautiful and delicious. Her cakes are very moist and everyone asked where there were from. I would definately use her again and again. She books up fast so call ahead!!

Lisa's designs were beautiful and exactly what we had in mind. She listened to our ideas and provided good feedback and suggestions based on her experience. Upon the first meeting, she had many different options for us to choose from for flavor profiles. Many of them were very unique and not something we would have thought of on our own, but very delicious. We even decided on one of these for our wedding cake. When we asked her to change some flavor profiles for our cake she did so willingly and with phenomenal results.

Our experience with this vendor was top-notch and we would highly recommend her to anyone else getting married in the Reading area.

I truly enjoyed working with Lisa on my wedding cake! From our initial correspondence, she responded quickly and showed a high level of professionalism. On the wedding day I was delighted with the finished product of the cake and received numerous compliments on the taste! Thank you Lisa for making this a great experience!

The cake was beautiful and exactly as I had described it. We had some guests that were unable to commit to our date and we needed to change the size of the cake. Lisa did this with no issue and was very accommodating. Although it was everything I had wanted, the wedding cake is not as big a part of the event as I had thought and we might have devoted a little too much of the overall budget to it.

Candy and Confections was the best choice I could have made for my wedding day. The cake was so unique because it was blue with hibiscus flowers because we had a tropical themed reception since we got married in the Bahamas. The flavors were also outstanding as we had lemon and orange mousse. We got so many compliments on how delicious it was!

After going to meet with Lisa and doing the taste testing we couldn't choose anyone but her! She had so many different varieties of cakes and fillings. She helped us pick the cake that would be perfect for our big day. We different flavors to suite everyone's taste buds and they were all wonderful. The cake design was also beautiful. It matched everything perfectly. We had so many compliments on our design. I would highly recommend her for your cake for any occasion. We look forward to our one year anniversary just so we can get our fresh cake to celebrate.

Lisa's cake design was exceptional. The taste according to my quests was second to none, I and my wife also thought the taste of the cake was fantastic. I would recommend anyone who is looking for someone to bake a cake for no matter what occassion to call Lisa and taste her product. Im sure you will be well pleased.

I do not know what happened here; obviously from looking at the other reviews on Wedding Wire, Lisa does wonderful work. But she completely fell through on our wedding cupcakes. I was very disappointed.

When we met with Lisa at our booking appointment in February I was upfront about our small budget, but wanted to work with her to see if we could afford her baking. We decided to order vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream at her base price, and then upgraded them with a chocolate mousse filling and chocolate shavings. I also ordered a small top cake to accompany the cupcakes, with the same flavors to be included.

I gave Lisa photos of the type of frosting design I liked (tall and peaked) as well as a photo of the chandeliers in our venue--they had a specific scalloped design that I wanted replicated on the sides of the top cake in either chocolate piping or chocolate molding (Lisa's suggestion, which I liked). Lisa also agreed to supply a stand for us, claiming she had a perfect one in mind--I trusted her judgment.

Here's what went wrong:
-The cupcakes' frosting was not peaked, but instead somewhat flattened. The frosting was also dry and hard.

-The chocolate shavings looked more like chocolate dust and were an odd color, almost as if they had been sitting out for a few days. The cupcakes were covered in this and looked unappealing.

-The top cake was covered in fondant--I had expressed my distaste for fondant during our meeting and had wanted only buttercream on all the cupcakes and cakes.

-The design I wanted for the top cake (scalloped design from the chandeliers) was completely ignored. Instead there were smallish fleur de lis molded from chocolate. You couldn't really tell what they were until you got up close.

-The cake stand was plastic, oddly proportioned, and looked tacky. I would have purchased my own if I had known this is what Lisa intended to use.

-A number of the cupcakes were dried out and crumbled.

-Possibly the most upsetting thing was that a number of my guests thought I had made the cupcakes because they said they looked homemade.

Now, I know Lisa is an amazing baker because at our booking appointment we had the opportunity to try a wide variety of her cakes, and each one was more delicious than the first. I appreciated her willingness to work with us and our small budget, but never once did I try to haggle her down in price--I simply ordered what I knew we could afford.

So what went wrong? That's what I was left asking myself all through the reception. If our order wasn't big enough or as important as some of her bigger weddings, then I wish she had declined booking with us. Instead we got something that looked like not enough time or attention was put into it, and I find that hard to swallow.

So, if you have the budget, go with Lisa because she is obviously talented. If not, you might want to shop around.

DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS LADY FOR YOUR CAKE. SHE MAKES GOOD CAKES BUT IS COMPLETELY NUTS! WE DROPPED OFF OUR CAKE TOPPER THREE MONTHS BEFORE THE WEDDING TO ENSURE A GOOD FIT, SHE CALLS US DURING OUR REHEARSAL DINNER TO TELL US THAT THE TOPPER IS NOT GOING TO WORK AND WE NEED TO COME UP WITH ANOTHER, SHE HAD THREE MONTHS TO FIGURE THAT OUT. SHE PROCEEDED TO CATCH AN ATTITUDE WHEN WE ORIGINALLY TRIED TO DROP OUR TOPPER OFF. SHE IS A BIT ON THE PRICEY SIDE AS WELL. SHE THEN COMPLAINED WHEN SHE HAD TO "STAY UP ALL NIGHT BAKING A NEW TOP TIER TO FIT OUR TOPPER". DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND LOOK ELSEWHERE.
