    Delicious & beautiful!

    Best cake we could’ve asked for! Courtney really made our cake vision come to life in the most beautiful way, and all 3 flavors we picked were absolutely delicious! We got so many compliments on the cake appearance and flavor - Would definitely recommend!

    Above & Beyond

    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!

    What a cake!!

    Courtney was one of my favorite vendors to work with for our wedding!!!! We had a fabulous time working with her from going to the tasting and creating the cake design together. She made it so easy to help make decisions and gave her input while also keeping into consideration cost. I highly recommend choosing to go with Courtney for your cake or sweet table needs!!

    Thanks for making our Disney inspired wedding dreams come true.

    Love,
    Matt and Katie Laureys 2023

    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! Thank you Courtney!!

    Amazing!!!

    My cake was so beautiful and honestly even better than I could have ever imagined. The moment I saw it for the first time, I was in complete awe and could not stop talking all night long about how beautiful the cake was!

    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.

    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.

    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 so much Courtney!!

    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.

    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.

    I can't wait to go back for cupcake versions of our wedding cake to celebrate our anniversary!

    C'est la vie. C'est tres bonne!

    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.

    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. Thank you Courtney :)

    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!

    Perfect cake!

    Courtney made the best cake ever. It was beautiful and giant. It had amazing flavors. And our guests loved it. We got married on my husband's birthday, and Courtney was so sweet to accommodate a last-minute request to make a birthday cupcake for him! Would recommend to anyone and everyone!

    So happy we chose C'est La Vie

    Courtney at C'est La Vie was amazing! Cake tasting was one of our favorite parts of wedding planning. We got to try so many fun and different flavors. Courtney was incredibly kind, easy to work with, and made us a beautiful cake for our big day. The cake was so delicious we adjusted the tradition of eating the top tier on our 1 year anniversary and decided to dig in when we returned from our honeymoon! We could not recommend more.

    I will use her for every cake i ever need!

    Courtney was WONDERFUL! I knew basically what I wanted for a cake, and she helped me expand on it to get a FANTASTIC cake!! It was gorgeous, and tasted exquisite!!! I particularly was concerned about the taste. I have seen many beautiful cakes that were more attractive than they were tasty! The cake from C'est La Vei was SO DELICIOUS!! I had LOTS of compliments on the cake and questions about where it came from, and I was so happy to give them C'est La Vie as the place to go! And, besides being simply INCREDIBLE in in every way, the price was great!! Thank you, Courtney!!
