    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    Amazing experience!

    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.

    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)

    Delicious and beautiful wedding cake!


    Donna was a pleasure to work with for our wedding cake! She has an awesome variety of flavors that are so smooth and delicious. We chose a white cake with strawberry cream and fresh strawberries and it was absolutely delicious! A perfect finish to our wedding meal. She decorated our cake beautifully, with the addition fresh flowers and our cake topper. She was prompt with delivery and setup the day of. From start to finish, she was clear with all communication and easy to reach. We would highly recommend Creative Cakes by Donna!
