Very tasty and deliver
This husband and wife team make the process so easy. Very responsive when I contacted them asking about my needs for my wedding. The in person tasting and consultation was fun and relaxing. My cake was delivered to our venue when we needed it too, they have worked with the coordinator there before so that helped to put my mind at ease. Cake was gorgeous, just like how we wanted it and tasted great.This husband and wife team make the process so easy. Very responsive when I contacted them asking about my needs for my wedding.

On Bell Mare's Preferred List
C'est La Vie Cakes was recommended to us by Bell Mare. My husband loves baking for others and loves variety we came in uncertain if one white wedding cake was for us. C'est La Vie came up with a design to incorporate our wedding colors into our cake and gave us several cupcake tastings to try. We came up with one wedding cake and several small cupcakes for our big day. The flavors were a huge hit and by the end of the night all the cupcakes were gone and there were only a few slices of cake left. Her blueberry lemon cupcakes were the most popular!C'est La Vie Cakes was recommended to us by Bell Mare.

Working with Courtney was a dream. She understood our vision and executed it perfectly. All of our guests were raving about the flavors. She was willing to make a custom flavor for the tasting and even presented it with two filling options. She is as sweet as her desserts!Working with Courtney was a dream.

Highly recommend C’est La Vie!
Courtney is professional, kind, responsive, and was so wonderful to work with for my wedding! She helped me to decide the best option for my budget and gave me a free tasting - she even made a free birthday cupcake for my sister who joined the tasting! The guests at our wedding raved about how delicious the cakes were! I highly recommend C’est La Vie and Courtney for your desserts at your next event!

Simply the Best
In my exhaustive search to find the best wedding cupcakes across Chicagoland up the I94 corridor to Kalamazoo, Michigan- I was about ready to give up and stumbled across C'est La Vie Cakes. After my first bite during the tasting - I knew that my search had come to an end! Courtney does an AMAZING job. We ordered 4 different flavors of cupcakes and a small round cake for cutting purposes and everything was delicious. Courtney goes above and beyond to make sure this process is delicious and easy. C'est La Vie will be my go to for any dessert needs moving forward. Thank you, Courtney for being a part of making my wedding so special.In my exhaustive search to find the best wedding cupcakes across Chicagoland up the I94 corridor to Kalamazoo, Michigan- I was about ready to give up and stumbled across C'est La Vie Cakes.

amazing desserts!
I cannot say enough good things about C'est La Vie Cakes. Courtney was amazing to work with from start to finish. We scheduled our tasting and brought along my maid of honor to her adorable shop. She was the friendliest person and took a ton of notes on what we liked, what we didn't like. She helped us figure out how much to buy as well. The tasting was so much fun, one of the highlights of wedding planning. We got to take home all the things we tasted and ate off it until we were sick.
We didn't have a wedding planner, but she made organizing the drop off super easy. I didn't even see the desserts arrive because I was running all around getting ready. But when I saw them set up, I was stunned. They were GORGEOUS and smelled amazing. My sugar levels crashed about an hour before the ceremony and I was feeling shaky, so my mom brought me a cupcake off the table. It was delicious and it put me back right side up so I could be sugared up and ready for the ceremony.
We completely forgot to confirm we needed trays. Rather than just say 'Oh well' and deliver the desserts hoping we'd figure it out, she brought the cutest trays along with her anyway to make sure the desserts had something to go on.
They were a smash hit. People were obsessed with the cheesecake bites and I had a lemon bite and nearly fainted it was so good. Everyone loved them. I can't wait for the next chance to work with Courtney again just to get my hands on more of her incredible desserts.I cannot say enough good things about C'est La Vie Cakes.

The best wedding cake!
Couldn't reccomend C'est La Vie Cakes enough for wedding cakes! Our whole experience with Courtney was great. We got to try many flavors at the tasting and Courtney took notes on which were our favorites. Then we made our final decision a month or two before our weddiing. The cake was not only stunning, but it was sooo delicious! I'm not usually a huge cake person and I ate three pieces that night LOL.

Thank you, C’est La Vie!
Courtney was amazing! My original cake baker told me they wouldn’t be able to bake our wedding cake due to illness less than a month before our wedding. I was frantic trying to find a new cake baker. Courtney put me at ease when I called her. She was so sweet and easy to work with. Our wedding was in Kalamazoo, Michigan and she offered to drive from South Bend to deliver it to us. Our cake was gorgeous and tasted great! My husband and I were so busy at our wedding we didn’t have a chance to have a piece, so we decided to break into the top tier when we got back from our honeymoon. We plan on getting a fresh small cake to celebrate our first anniversary.Courtney was amazing!

Beautiful AND Delicious!
We first tasted C'est La Vie cakes at a wedding vendor expo, and I remember thinking at the time this would be the cake to beat because it was SO good. Well, we never found one that could so we gladly picked them for our wedding!
One of the things i loved was their unique flavor choices. My favorite is the champagne raspberry with buttercream frosting, but pink velvet strawberry was a close second. Both the husband and wife we worked with were very friendly and personable. They even decorated our cake with eucalyptus upon delivery which was a great surprise, as we didn't request this in the purchase.

They made my daughter's wedding cake and it was beautiful and tasty. So many of the guests said it tasted better than any wedding cake they had ever had. They were also easy to work with and I will happily recommend them.They made my daughter's wedding cake and it was beautiful and tasty.

Amazing cake, so many people asked where it was from!
I got married at Hidden Vineyard, as I didn't live in the area I looked at many different vendors and C'est La Vie Cakes was the best rated cakes by far!!! Courtney also provides a free tasting, so when we came out in the area we reached out to her and she booked us an appointment. Her cakes/cupcakes were AMAZING! She did a great job at communicating with us and we decided to have it delivered to our venue as its one less stress. I would recommend her to anyone getting married in the area!! We also had people texting us after the wedding wondering where we got the cake from.

We loved C'Est La Vie
It was wonderful working with Courtney and C'est La Vie Cakes. We had an original date planned and signed a contract with her for that date but then had to push it back almost a year - we then contacted her for the new date and she honored the original down payment from almost a year prior! The cake was gorgeous and we were so happy with our flavor choices, as were our guests. C'est La Vie offers a good range of flavors and options to choose from, I didn't realize I liked lemon cake/curd until I tried hers!It was wonderful working with Courtney and C'est La Vie Cakes.
