    Perfect Cake!

    Creative Cakes by Donna did a wonderful job in making my vision for our wedding cake become a reality. The design was exactly what I pictured and what I discussed with Paula. She took the time to meet with me to understand exactly what I envisioned. Paula had wonderful recommendations, even down to recommending that we use a lavender tablecloth for the cake table to make the lavender elements on our cake stand out. I appreciated her expertise. The cake was delicious, we loved our lemon cake with raspberry mousse filling with buttercream frosting. Creative Cakes by Donna does an amazing job!

    We were absolutely thrilled with our experience with Cakes by Donna!

    From start to finish, everything was exactly what we had hoped for and more. Our wedding cake was red velvet, and not only did it look beautiful, but it tasted absolutely incredible.

    To this day, our guests are still talking about how delicious the cake was, which says everything. It was one of those standout details that people genuinely remember, and we find ourselves still dreaming about it!

    If you’re looking for a bakery that can bring your vision to life while delivering something truly unforgettable in taste, we cannot recommend Cakes by Donna enough. They were such a special part of our day!

    Wedding cake 2/14/2026

    I loved our wedding cake by creative cakes by Donna! It was baked so deliciously and decorated so beautifully for our Valentine’s Day wedding. We had a chocolate and vanilla cake with raspberry cream filling and raspberry jelly filling. The fillings weren’t too sweet which we liked. I would definitely recommend them for your wedding cake!  Our cake was included with our wedding venue (society room of Hartford)

    Creative Cakes by Donna truly takes the cake when it comes to wedding cakes (pun absolutely intended!)

    My husband and I were not only lucky to have our wedding cake included in our Society Room package, but also to have one of the most delicious wedding cakes we’ve ever had! Creative Cakes by Donna truly takes the cake when it comes to wedding cakes (pun absolutely intended!). Any flavor you choose is guaranteed to taste like a real cake- like the one your mom bakes for your birthday. You can feel the love, nostalgia, and sugary goodness in every bite. We had guests going back for seconds and even thirds, all declaring it was one of the best cakes they’d ever had! Even more importantly, the team was amazing to work with: prompt, detail-oriented, and incredibly creative. They made this part of the process completely seamless, and we only wish we lived closer to Hartford so we could order their cakes more regularly. Look no further than Creative Cakes by Donna when searching for a wedding cake - they are guaranteed to be a crowd favorite!

    Stunning and delicious!

    Paula took time to offer thoughtful suggestions to make our wedding cake truly stand out. Our cake was not only stunning and beautifully designed but exactly what we envisioned. It was the perfect centerpiece for our day. Furthermore, the subtle flavors blended flawlessly and tasted delicious!! Each bite exhibited the care and magic that was put into creating such a masterpiece and we are deeply grateful for her artistry and kindness that will forever be a part of our memories.

    Amazing Cake!

    Donna's cakes are amazing! Donna created the perfect cake for our wedding. We were able to do a tasting and had a difficult time choosing as all the cakes were so great. Our guests loved our wedding cake and talked about it throughout the night. We would definitely get a cake from Donna again!

    Funfetti wedding cake, what could be better!?

    Creative Cakes by Donna was a hit at our wedding!! We loved the buttercream frosting, it was light and fluffy and not gritty like some can be! Lots of flavors / options to play around with but we ultimately went with funfetti with a French vanilla Bavarian cream filling and it was delicious!! Donna was super easy to work with and explained the process seamlessly. We couldn’t recommend her and her team enough!

    Autumn at its best

    We had our fall wedding at the Essex Steam Train and our cake was from Creative Cakes by Donna. We had the apple spice cake with buttercream frosting and fall colored flowers. The cake was absolutely beautiful and tasted like heaven. All our guests loved the cake and we highly recommend Donna and especially the apple spice flavor if your having a fall wedding.

    Fabulous, beautiful and delicious cake!

    We hired Donna for our wedding in July of 2023. She was one of the cake venders included with The Society Room wedding package. Donna was friendly to work with and quick to respond to all of our questions. She gave us a delicious sampling of cakes to take home. We decided on the strawberry shortcake with buttercream frosting. I had emailed her a picture of my vison for the cake and she nailed it! It was a tall beautiful and tasty work of art. My gests were very impressed by the display and flavor of the cake! I would recommend Donna for all of your wedding cake needs!

    We LOVED Our Wedding Cake!

    Donna's cake was delicious and BEAUTIFUL! Our guests just loved how it tasted and had nothing but great things to say. Donna was a pleasure to work with and gave multiple tasting options to choose from. She took some designs we had and brought them to life in a simple but elegant design. We were also able to get GF cupcakes to add for our guests with allergies. (Cake flavor chosen: vanilla cake, strawberry cream & fresh strawberries)

    Donna is amazing!

    Donna has had an unbelievable reputation as one of THE BEST cake bakers and decorators in Connecticut for YEARS! She even made my mom's wedding cake! As soon as I got engaged, she was the FIRST vendor I knew I was working with. Her attention to detail is exquisite and the cake for our special day matched our vision EXACTLY! We could not be happier with how it came out. People at the wedding kept asking for second slices because they wanted more! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Working with Donna was a dream from the tasting to the big day! She helped us find our vision for our cake, and make sure every detail was what we wanted - from the flower accents to incorporating our dog in the cake! The cake looked and tasted amazing and all our guests were raving about it. All in all a great experience with a great vendor.

    Donna is so wonderful to work with! Our cake came out so beautifully and tasted amazing - we went with the chocolate cake with peanut butter mousse filling. All of her cakes were so, so good! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a custom cake or a wedding cake.

    Amazing Cake, Easy to work with

    First and foremost this cake was absolutely delicious and we had lots of friends who are getting married ask us where we got it from because it was amazing. But also, just as importantly, Donna was so easy to work with. We didn't have a very specific vision and so we told her a few things and she rolled with it and created something beautiful. Additionally, she was so thoughtful and it showed she clearly loved everything about weddings as she was freely giving advice and thoughts around décor at our venue, etc. Loved working with her!

    August 2021 Wedding

    We worked with Donna as a part of our wedding package through Saybrook Point, and she was fantastic. We are currently living out of state, so she coordinated with my in-laws to provide more tasting samples to them. Donna was flexible with our rescheduled date one year out due to COVID-19. She was responsive to both myself and my planner, and incorporated our design ideas perfectly. Our cake was ornate and the lemon raspberry flavor was incredible for a hot summer night. Usually, you see lots of leftover pieces of cake at a wedding; however, almost everyone finished their serving and complimented us on how tasty it was. We highly recommend Donna!

    She made our wedding cake dreams come to life!

    Donna has such an eye for design! The design, flavor and look were exactly what we wanted! She made gluten free cupcakes for me and they were the best gluten free cupcakes I have had! If your looking for a cake Donna is the go to!

    Delicious, Classy & Beautiful Cakes

    Creative Cakes by Donna never disappoints! She is a true talent in cake design. She does a wonderful job of bringing my clients visions to life in the form of a stunning, classic, tiered display of cake, frosting, florals, colors, design. And most importantly, the flavors are absolutely scrumptious! It's always a great sign to see clean plates after the dessert course -- no cake left behind! What a delicious way for my clients & their loved ones to end their perfect day.

    Couldn’t have asked for better!

    We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, Donna was communicative and kind. She was able to create our cake to her exact specifications. We received nothing but raving positive feedback on how delicious the cake was. She was also very flexible and made some cupcakes that were dairy free for myself and several guests with an allergy. I would highly recommend getting almond cake with the toasted coconut butter cream. The flavor combination was divine.

    Beautiful and delicious cake!!

    Donna was an absolute pleasure to work with. When we arrived for our consultation, we were able to see models of many of the beautiful cakes she's created, then take home a bunch of samples to taste at our leisure (because of COVID). She immediately understood exactly what we wanted, and executed our vision perfectly. This is not to mention that the cake was DELICIOUS! You're in EXTREMELY capable hands with Creative Cakes by Donna--highly recommend!

    Absolutely Amazing!

    Donna and her team make the most beautiful cakes, and really offer the most creative and delicious variety of flavors, fillings, and frostings. Our wedding cake was gorgeous and our guests commented on how delicious it tasted. Donna is easy to work with, very responsive to communication, and makes the whole process easy and stress-free. We are so grateful for such a special cake that also tasted amazing!

    Just Perfect!

    Best. Cake. Ever! The cake exceeded our expectations and Donna was great to work with. She was available by email, phone and in person and was very helpful given the challenges of covid restrictions earlier this year. Our guests loved the cake so much we hardly had any leftovers!! It was perfect--thank you Donna!!

    Beautiful & delicious wedding cake!

    Donna did a fantastic job with my wedding cake! Right from when I first called her she was friendly and accommodating and took the time to go through different options with me. She gave us lots of samples to take home when we went in for a tasting and was up for any design and decoration we wanted. She followed up with us as the wedding date got closer and was also really flexible when we changed our minds about the design 10 days out. Donna worked with our venue and florist to pull of the logistics of the cake delivery without a hitch, which also made our lives easier on the day of. Our cake was gorgeous and so delicious! We did chocolate with chocolate mousse with light raspberry filling. Many guests remarked that it was the best wedding cake they had ever had. We intended to freeze the top for our anniversary but the cake was so good we had it the next day with family!! Would highly recommend Donna to bake your wedding cake!

    Haven't event had our wedding yet but I had to brag!

    We found Donna after a horrible experience with another cake vendor we had been looking at. Feeling discouraged, we took a recommendation from a friend and I am so glad we did. Donna has been such a pleasure and it feels like you're chatting with a friend when you speak with her. She made us up a take home cake testing kit due to COVID restrictions and it ended up being such a fun little date night My fiancé wanted me to try and call to get a second round because the sample cakes were THAT GOOD. When we found out Donna actually made my fiancé's mother's wedding cake, we were sold! What a fun history to share. I am so excited to see our cake from Donna, I know she will not disappoint. She really has been a ray of sunshine in what has been a dreary COVID wedding planning experience! 10/10

    So Delicious!

    With 2020 being a crazy year I needed a wedding cake kind of last minute! Donna was great to work with and I'm so happy with how everything turned out! We were able to have a cake tasting at home, and picked cake designs over the phone/ email with pictures. The final product was more beautiful than I could have imagined! Thank you so much for having great communication and flexibility!

    I would really recommend Creative Cakes by Donna for other brides!!

    Delicious!

    We had the pleasure of having Donna create our wedding cake and she was excellent! Our original venue had a selection of her flavors at their open house and we were hooked. With the craziness of COVID we ended up changing almost everything about our day, but not our cake! The flavor (strawberry shortcake) did not disappoint and Donna was so flexible with our changed date and navigating a pickup the day before our event to accommodate our needs!

    Amazing! Exactly what we wanted!

    Donna made the cake for my wedding and it was absolutely gorgeous! She was fantastic to work with. Due to Covid, my fiance and I were unable to meet with her in person and yet she was able to capture exactly what we wanted and then some. She was super pleasant and helpful in the phone conversations we had with her to plan the cake, and it tasted delicious! Would definitely use her again and I will happily recommend her cakes to anyone looking for a wedding cake!

    Beautiful, delicious, unique cakes!

    We were able to get a cake from Creative Cakes by Donna for our wedding at the Pond House Café and are so glad we did! We really enjoyed the tasting where we got to try a variety of cake and fillings. We ultimately decided on a chocolate cake with cookies and cream filling. We also got to talk through some design ideas with Donna while she sketched out our vision of a winter cake inspired by a cable knit sweater. She was so friendly and easy to work with! When we saw our cake at the wedding, it was so beautiful and exactly what we had envisioned. The only thing better than how it looked was how it tasted – it was hands down the best wedding cake I’ve ever had! We had so many of our guests tell us how good it was. We got to take some home after the wedding as well, which was awesome. Highly recommend Creative Cakes by Donna because you’ll get artistry AND a delicious dessert for your special day!

    Love never “Taste” so good

    Donna is fantastic. When we met her she had such a great personality. So many cakes and flavors but never made you feel overwhelmed. My wife and I knew what we wanted and she executed. Cake was so tasty that when I dropped the topper off she even let me has another sampler of our flavor. The only issue you will have is that it is so beautiful you don’t want to cut it. Moist and delicious to the last bite!

    So Beautiful I Didn’t Want to Eat it…But Boy Am I Glad I Did!

    Thanks so much to Creative Cakes by Donna, and Donna herself for an amazing wedding cake that not only looked phenomenal but also tasted incredible! When we were looking at cake vendors I was worried because I didn’t know what kind of a timetable was necessary and we were only looking a couple months out from our wedding. Donna is a baking rock star! She assuaged all of my concerns and helped my (now) wife and I to design a cake that really fit our personality. We walked into the tasting thinking we’d be going with something chocolate and after trying all of the different options decided instead to embrace our fall wedding and go with the spice cake!
    Day of the wedding I was blown away by how beautiful the cake was! It surpassed all my expectations! Truly a work of art! A delicious work of art! We got so many compliments on the flavoring! Everyone loved the spice cake and agreed that it was the perfect wedding cake for the event! Thanks Donna for making a cake that made our special day even more wonderful!

    The real deal

    Having spent 30 years in the food industry, I can say Donna and her cakes are the REAL DEAL. From the first phone call, Donna made sure to get to know us. Throughout the entire process she was very helpful and communicative. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed sitting in her shop and chatting about cake (and food and drink!) and our lives and what brought us together. We chose a lemon cake with lemon filling with alternating layers of strawberries and blueberries. Our loved ones are still raving about the delicious moist cake! There is a reason that she has been at this for such a long time. Her talent, passion and ability to really connect with her clients are all reasons that Donna is such a gem. Thank you for your part in making our day perfect Donna!

    Wedding cake was absolutely delicious for 9/28/19 wedding

    My experience Working with Donna to create my wedding cake was wonderful. She had great suggestions. The wedding cake came out even better than the picture I showed her. I choose the lemon cake with vanilla filling and fresh raspberries. Our guests loved the cake and talked about it for days. It was so moist and flavorful. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Donna. She made it such a wonderful experience. Thank you Donna for creating the wedding cake of my dreams.

    Beautiful and delicious cake

    As part of our wedding catering package, we had the pleasure of working with Donna to create our wedding cake. Setting up the appointment was very easy, and Donna was incredibly accommodating when my now-husband and I got stuck in literally *hours* of traffic and were very late to our tasting appointment. She stayed open late for us and didn't make us feel rushed at all (in fact, we were there for nearly 2 hours). It was so fun to taste all the combinations, and everything was delicious. We settled on an almond cake, with a layer of pistachio and coconut in between. Neither of us were really fussed about what the buttercream frosting looked like - we pointed to a picture she showed us and said that looks good! Donna said she would provide some fall florals to accent the cake. We left our cake topper with her and went on our merry way!
    Donna called a few days before the wedding to confirm guest count, flavors, and delivery. 
    Arriving at the wedding venue, the cake is the first thing that I saw on our wedding day. My jaw literally dropped. It was THE most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Donna went above and beyond anything I could have expected. The cake was perfect- 5 layers of textured buttercream and the most stunning flowers ever; not to mention it was the best wedding cake I've ever tasted (is that bias, because it was my wedding!?!). Our guests loved the cake and my family enjoyed the leftovers for the rest of the week!
    I should also mention my mother and sister purchased a cake for my bridal shower from Donna. It was funfetti flavored - my request! Donna nailed that also - guests were (and still are) raving about this cake! I'd recommend Creative Cakes by Donna to anyone.

    Delicous Spice Wedding Cake!

    We LOVED our cake from Donna. She was one of the 2 vendors that Pond House gives and an option. We tried her cake during the open house, and was amazing! So flavorful and moist.

    We called to book our tasting this past spring. I had also requested to try the spice cake, as I was told that was not always on the tasting sample. (They made a whole cupcake in that flavor for us, I was impressed! )

    When we arrived, we sat with Donna, looked around the showroom and some photos of past cakes she has made. I definitely suggest doing some research first on her Instagram and website to see a few styles, and get an idea as to what you may want. As we talked through the process, we settled on a very classic 3 tier round cake. Each layer with a different buttercream texture. We had her also add flowers from her garden in out color scheme (small extra charge, as that is not included in the venue package.)

    Then comes the tasting! My husband and I polished the whole plate! We ended up with the spice cake, with an apple pie filling, and a lightly spiced BC (Great for a fall or winter wedding!) A few other options we liked were the Almond cake with pistachio BC. There is also a lemon cake with fresh strawberries we loved.

    We were thrilled with the look and taste of the cake. The guest loved it as well. We made the decision as well to NOT have a dessert table at the wedding, so people would eat the cake!

    Thank you Donna, we loved the cake! You made the whole process very streamlined and easy.

    Absolutely Delicious!

    Our wedding cake was OUT OF THIS WORLD! Donna went above and beyond to make our cake perfect! She took our image and ran with it! We are so happy we hired Creative Cakes by Donna for our wedding day and we received so many compliments from our guests.

    For all those wondering we had an almond cake with raspberry filling, the perfect cake for a hot summer wedding!
    Thanks for your hard work Donna!

    Breathtaking & Delicious Wedding Cake!!

    Donna and her team created the most beautiful wedding cake. Not only was it gorgeous, but it was absolutely delicious too! They were a great team to work with, we had fun doing our cake testing and the cake was delivered on time and perfectly executed. I would highly recommend using Donna for any event. She was very flexible to work with me and create anything I wanted. I was VERY VERY impressed.

    Thank you Donna and your team!!

    Delicious and picture-perfect

    Donna made us an amazing and delicious cake. Coming from out of town, she was able to squeeze us in for a tasting, so we would know what we were getting beforehand. Although Donna makes all kinds of super intricate cakes, we wanted something on the simpler side, but even so our cake exceeded our expectations in taste and look.

    Best Cake Ever!

    Creative Cakes by Donna is wonderful!! She had tons of flavor options and style ideas. My cake came out exactly how I hoped it would and Donna was super easy to work with. Many of our guests told us how delicious the cake was and we couldn't have agreed with them more!! As dessert lovers, the cake was really important to us and we were thrilled!!! I would highly, highly recommend Creative Cakes by Donna!

    The cake is delicious!!

    Donna is unbeatably the best wedding cake designer this side of Connecticut. She made our cake for our wedding at A Villa Louisa in Bolton, CT. The cake came with the venue package. It was a lemon cake with raspberry and vanilla cream filling. She responded to every text, email and phone call. I love her! She customized the cake to our liking and our flower designer added the flowers. In the end I cant stop eating the cake she made. It is still so moist and its after day 4 thank you so much!! Absolutely delicious.

    Best wedding cake!

    Creative cakes by Donna exceeded our expectations. The tasting was great and professional. We got to bring both of our moms. She had a variety of flavors for us to try. The cake for our wedding was absolutely beautiful. It was more than I even imagined. The flavor was even better. We chose the strawberry shortcake. It wasn’t too sweet nor was it too heavy. It was perfect. Thanks so much to Donna! I can’t wait to eat what we saved on our 1 year anniversary!

    Absolutely amazing

    Donna made us a beautiful cake that was also delicious! My husband and I used to work at a venue nearby, so we've tasted a lot of wedding cakes and Donna's are the best for sure. Highly recommend the chocolate mousse chambord, it's my favorite and our guests raved about it. Thanks Donna!

    Delicious and Beautiful!

    From the start, Donna was a pleasure to work with! I knew after talking to her on the phone when I set up a cake tasting, I was going to be in good hands. Donna provided many scrumptious samples of cake and frosting during the tasting. She is very friendly, professional and flexible. My husband and I changed the design of our cake a week before the wedding because I saw a previous cake she had made for a wedding and we knew we wanted it for ours. Donna was completely open to our change and she even found the snowflakes herself to put on them. Our cake was a 5 tier, almond flavored cake, which to our surprise was amazing, with a chocolate mousse filling and Nutella, with buttercream frosting. It was absolutely one of the best cakes we have EVER tasted! Our cake was beautiful and perfect in every way. We look forward to ordering cakes from her in the future. Thank you Donna!!

    Flawless and Delicious

    Our wedding cake was delicious, beautiful, and such an amazing addition to our perfect day. During the cake cutting ceremony, we couldn't stop eating the slice that we cut. We knew from our first bite at our food tasting that this was the cake for us! The attention to detail was flawless. I highly recommend the strawberry shortcake!

    As delicious as it is beautiful!

    Hands down the best wedding cake I've ever eaten! You may think I'm biased, but we honestly heard that from nearly every guest at our wedding. To compliment our Christmas theme, we chose a spice cake with a cinnamon & nutmeg whipped cream filling and buttercream frosting. It was to-die-for delicious. The only problem was that it was so beautiful it was almost a shame to cut into it! Donna created a stunning three layer cake with perfect horizontal striations, topped with white roses, holly berries and evergreen sprigs. It was a centerpiece of attention at the venue, until it was gobbled up. If you want a wedding cake that is equally delicious as it is beautiful, hire Donna.

    Beautiful and Delicious Nautical Cake

    Donna is truly talented and helpful when it comes to making delicious cakes and decorating! My mother and I met with her for a tasting to try all the flavors ... so much fun!!
    I decided on a buttercream cake and showed her various pictures on IG of what I was envisioning. She not only created the cake exactly as we planned but she helped with suggestions as to how to decorate our venue (I believe she has a background in interior design as well!). As you can see from the picture, it turned out lovely. Cannot wait to eat the final layer on our anniversary!

    The best cake I ever had!

    If you’re in the market for a cake that all your guests will love, give Creative Cakes by Donna a call! She worked with us to create the PERFECT flavor combination that we knew our friends and family couldn’t resist! Our 4-tier cake featured alternating layers of Chocolate Mousse and Cookie and Cream filling between Marble cake. It. Was. DELICIOUS! Not to mention, Donna and her team made the cake look absolutely amazing with perfectly executed scrollwork directly from my Pinterest board! A HUGE thank you to her for helping my cake vision come to life! When your mother-in-law asks for that same flavor cake for her birthday this year, you KNOW it was amazing. Just the perfect finishing touch to an overall incredible day!

    DELICIOUS!!! Everyone at the wedding went crazy for the cake. I chose chocolate with raspberry cream and fresh raspberries for 2 tiers and almond cake with coconut cream for the middle tier. I wish I had 2 tiers of both!!! I will buy for her cake for all special occasions going forward. LOVE!!!

Everyone kept taking pictures of the cake because it was so pretty! Donna was responsive and went above and beyond for us. I cant say enough good things about Donna and the delicious cakes that she creates.

    Donna was wonderful during the planning of our wedding! From our first tasting, we knew that we wanted Donna to make our wedding cupcakes! She offered a choice of amazing flavors, which was so difficult to narrow down to just three! Donna also made my husband and I a small cake to cut on our wedding day and enjoy on our first anniversary...which is especially great, because we had no cupcakes left by the end of the reception! People loved them! Thank you Donna!

    Donna was wonderful to work with and our wedding cake came out both beautiful and delicious! The cake tasting was a great opportunity to get to know Donna and try all the delicious flavor combinations. We were having trouble choosing just one so she even made a mini cake for my husband that he could enjoy as a little extra treat! She was kind and easy to work with throughout the whole process- even when I decided to add flowers to my cake at the last minute, she ordered them and made sure they matched the rest of my arrangements. Thank you Donna!

    Donna is not just creative, she's a cake genius. We were so impressed with her, from our first meeting to when we saw the finished piece of art. The cake itself is also delicious. We showed her a photo of a cake and she exceeded our expectations. It was absolutely gorgeous. Tell all your friends who are planning a wedding to call Donna. Thank you Donna!

    Our wedding cake by Cakes By Donna was absolutely perfect ! She was the only tasting experience we had / needed and booked her the day of our tasting. We were blown away by how delicious multiple cake flavors /fillings of hers were.
    Prior to our tasting I had it in my head that chocolate cake wasn't a "wedding " cake but when we tried her signature chocolate raspberry cake that thought went right out the window. We picked that flavor as well as the strawberry shortcake.
    To top it off it tasted amazing and looked even better then I couldve imagined. It perfectly fit our waterfront venue.
    I froze our topper and am already dreaming of eating it again at our 1 year anniversary!
    Thank you for everything Donna we will definitely be getting cakes from you again in the future ! I can easily see this becoming an anniversary tradition :)

    Donna's cakes are so delicious and she lives up to her name. She is so creative! We had one meeting with her and talked about our personal style and the theme of our wedding. We had some crazy ideas and we weren't sure if our ideas were even possible. Donna assured us that they were and we were amazed with the incredible cake that she made us! She goes above and beyond to create your dream cake, even down to the smallest details. She is also very affordable and has lots of delicious flavors to choose from!

    We absolutely loved our wedding cake and the favors were delish. We choose pistachio and coconut fillings as we wanted something different and all our guest couldn’t stop raving how good it was. Donna was great in the process giving us her ideas and taking what we liked. She even gave us a light green frosting instead of the traditional white. I wish I could eat my wedding cake every day! Thank you Donna for a great experience.

    Donna created a magnificent wedding cake for my daughter’s wedding on 6/30/18. The wedding took place on Folly Farm in Simsbury, and after the bride and groom conferred with Donna, she truly understood their vision. The wedding cake that Donna created blended in seamlessly with all of the other details. The cake was simply and beautifully adorned with fresh flowers, many of which came from Donna’s garden. The buttercream frosting was expertly applied and absolutely delicious, and the Tiramisu flavor of the frosting between the marble cake layers all came together to produce a gorgeous and delicious wedding cake! We highly recommend Creative Cakes by Donna!

    Creative Cakes by Donna was one of the cake vendors included in our wedding reception package with the Pond House Café. We were able to come to the Pond House for a food tasting and sampled some of Donna’s cake flavorings, and decided to go with Creative Cakes by Donna as our cake vendor. I was really impressed that her cakes not only look spectacular, they taste great too! We met with Donna on site at her bakery and were treated to even more cake varieties, which made choosing a flavor difficult as they all taste so good. Cake sampling has never been so much fun with Donna and her assistant! We wanted a cake that was simple, with textured stucco buttercream frosting and a delicious filling, and Donna even threw in a hydrangea flower for me too. I think if you want to go more elaborate than the base package offering there is an additional cost, but for what we wanted the cake was perfect. I was even able to eat a slice on my wedding day, and it was moist and delicious! I can’t wait to cut in to the top tier on our one-year anniversary. Thanks again to Creative Cakes by Donna for providing us with a wonderful cake for our wedding day.

    We had such a great experience with Creative Cakes by Donna! At the tasting, all of the flavored cakes and frostings she had available for us to try were all so delicious. We ate everything! Ultimately we decided on chocolate cake with a chocolate mocha cappuccino mousse filling. I liked that Donna call me ahead of the wedding to make sure we were still happy with our flavor choices and to confirm delivery time to our venue. She was really on top of everything which was great! I had no worries about how the cake would turn out. When we walked into our venue we were blown away with how beautiful our cake was. She used fresh red roses that cascaded down the cake. At the end of our wedding day, our family fought over who would get to bring extra cake home! Donna really helped make our big day special. Thank you!

    Donna was one of the cake vendors included with our Pond House wedding package. Once we tried the cakes at the open house we knew that’s who we wanted to go with. Donna made our cake perfectly and it was delicious! We got so many compliments and we accidentally ate the cake topper within a week after the honeymoon because it was sooo good. Would 100% reccomend Creative Cakes by Donna.

    I had a wonderful experience working with Creative Cakes by Donna. She spent the time to go over every detail that I wished to include for my wedding cake. Donna helped to specifically design my cake to fit what I wanted. I was truly amazed when I saw my wedding cake for the first time; it was more beautiful than I imagined it would be! The flowers and rhinestones were a perfect touch. I highly recommend this wedding venue! Meghan and Cody Gill

    Donna was excellent. The cake was something that kind of just fell off the list for us, and the last week as I was still working full time up until the day before was hectic. She was texting me assuring me that it would be great. The cake was beautiful and tasted fantastic
