    Wonderful Experience

    I highly recommend hiring Johanna for your wedding. She is highly professional, responsive, and of course an amazing baker! She created the most beautiful cake that looked exactly like I asked for and also tasted incredible, in addition to several other desserts for us. We got so many compliments on all of them.

    Absolutely Gorgeous!!!

    Johanna is absolutely the BEST!!! We decided to go with her for our wedding which was in July. She was so kind and patient through the entire process. You can tell that she loves what she does. We sent a few inspirational photos, and she absolutely nailed it!!! It was perfect in every way. It not only looked gorgeous, but it tasted amazing. We also ordered mini pies and cookies. All of it was delicious. We are forever grateful to Johanna. This cake made our wedding.

    Hands down the best cake we've EVER had!

    My now husband & I tasted wedding cake options at several different locations before meeting Johanna at Delicately Sweet Confections. While the other cake, filling, & frosting options were good, we hadn’t found anything that knocked our socks off. Our cake tasting ended the moment we had our 1st bite of Johanna’s almond cake with vanilla buttercream. It was a dream come true on a fork. Every subsequent cake & buttercream combination was just as good as the first. And the sampling of coconut macaroons & ginger molasses cookies were just as fantastic. We received so many compliments at our wedding about the cake & dessert selections. One person said that jaws dropped when they took a bit of the almond cake with raspberry curd and almond buttercream slice of heaven. We’ve bought several treats from Johanna since our wedding & we look for any opportunity to purchase additional treats from Johanna to share with our family & friends.

    Great cake and experience!

    We booked with Johanna for our wedding 7/31/22. She had great pricing compared to others in the area and was so responsive. Our cake was delicious and we had so many compliments. It ended up being 100+ degrees on our wedding day and it survived!! Thank you for the amazing wedding cake!!!

    Simply Delicious Cake!!

    1000 stars! The cake was delicious and beautiful. Johanna made the process easy! We picked up a box to try flavors at home, and she helped us by providing more samples when we wanted to confirm our flavor choices. Selecting a shape and color was simple and stress free. She delivered the gorgeous cake on-site and on time. Would HIGHLY recommend this bakery for any event big or small!

    Best Cake Ever, Not Exaggerating

    I contacted Johanna about a micro wedding I was having and she was very prompt in responding. We're from Texas and decided to have our wedding in the woods up there so we never got to taste test, so I was a bit nervous planning everything from afar. However, SO worth. She really took the time to look at and discuss what I wanted and what would work and look good, as well as flavors. Day of, I was in glee to see it was EXACTLY the cake I wanted and asked for.

    No joke, that's the BEST cake I've EVER had in my life. I'm not exaggerating when I say that. Cake if my favorite dessert and even my husband and family who aren't as into cake were raving about it, still are. I got the Mocha espresso cake with salted caramel...and it was so moist and smooth. Not overly sweet like you get sometimes but just perfect. We couldn't get enough. Hands down one of my favorite vendors we had and I'd love to order more from her if I ever got the chance. I'd order every cake for everything, from her if I could. I don't have the photographers pics back yet so these pics won't do it the full justice, I'll update when I get those in.

    Seriously, hire her. Look and cake were so flawlessly executed, you won't regret it. She's also so amazing to work with. Can't thank her enough!

    Such a great company to work with

    Johanna was great to work with! She remained in constant communication with me and made sure every detail was covered long before the wedding date. As well as this, her cakes look and taste absolutely amazing. I definitely recommend trying one of her sample boxes as all of her cake flavor and frosting flavor combinations are excellent! I received a lot of positive feedback from my wedding guests about the cake.

    Stunning Wedding Cake!

    Johanna is absolutely fantastic! She is an incredibly talented baker, always professional, and was a complete joy to work with! It only took us a couple bites to decide to move forward with her for our wedding cake. Her flavors are unique and incredibly tasty. As someone with a sweet tooth, I can say confidently that she is one of the best in Seattle! Not only is she talented in the kitchen, but she is also extremely creative. She has an eye for beautiful and distinctive designs. Our wedding cake turned out even more stunning than we imagined and our guests loved the flavors! We enjoyed working with her so much for our wedding, that we've returned to her multiple times for birthday cakes and sweet boxes too. We cannot recommend Johanna and Delicately Sweet Confections enough to future couples! You won't be disappointed!

    Amazing Wedding Dessert Buffet

    We decided we wanted to have a dessert buffet and a small wedding cake for the bridal party instead of trying to get a large cake to feed everyone. Boy did Delicately Sweet Confections deliver! Johanna made a suite of desserts that were all color coordinated with our wedding colors (she even did a blue gradient on our macaroons

    Delicately Sweet Confections's reply:

    Emily, thank you. It was truly an honor to help you both celebrate your beautiful day and your first year anniversary!

    Amazingly beautiful and tasty cakes

    We had a great experience with Delicately sweet for our wedding in September. We had found a picture of one of Joanne’s cakes in Seattle bride magazine and met with her. We were sold after the tasting and finding our you could also serve mini pie...my husband and family love pies. It was really important to him to have a fun cake that matches our theme, and she did a great job of working with him on a beautiful design. It all turned out perfectly.

    Johanna created such beautiful desserts and cake for our wedding, we couldn't have been happier! Our cake was a two-tier, 6' on top of a 10', chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream frosting and a slight naked look. It was SO beautiful. I can say the cake was absolutely delicious and so moist and flavorful. We also got 7 dozen mini desserts to go with the cake, including lemon bars, macarons, chocolate covered strawberries, and chocolate mousse cups. All of the mini desserts were swept up by the guests and we didn't get to try any, but we heard nothing but compliments.

    Communication with Johanna was always prompt, and she was super patient and helpful while we were very indecisive about what we wanted. We would highly recommend having her deliver her sweets and cake, we loved not having to worry about anything. She got the table all set up and worked with our florist to have some blooms placed on the cake. Overall just an amazing experience and we would highly recommend Johanna.

    Delicately Sweet Confections's reply:

    Thank you Bryndis for your kind words. We loved working with you both and so happy that you and your guests loved the dessert table.

    Best gluten free wedding cake!

    While planning for the wedding we tasted 8-10 different gluten free wedding cakes and this was by FAR our favorite! We were able to customize our order down to the layers and creams between! We absolutely loved our wedding cake, the night of the wedding and the following few days.

    Delicately Sweet Confections's reply:

    Bree, I am so pleased to hear this! I'm so glad you both enjoyed your cutting cake. Thank you for choosing us to be a part of your special day.

    Johanna made the cake and cupcakes for my wedding on July 21st, 2018. She was a joy to work with throughout the process! The tasting was a lot of fun and communication with her was easy. The cake and cupcakes turned out exactly as we wanted and were delicious!

    Johanna was great to work with!

    It has taken a long time to write this review because I was over everything that had to do with my wedding. But now that it's been a couple of years, I can finally write my reviews with fresh eyes.
    Looking back, Johanna was great to work with when deciding on what kind of cake we wanted for the wedding. Johanna was easy to communicate with either via email or text. And when we met her for the cake tasting, she was very warm and friendly. For the design of the cake, I emailed her several photos of what I was looking for and she hit it out of the park. I wanted a simple 3 tier, ombre white to blush with flowers on it and she did that and more! Our wedding cake was not only beautiful, but it tasted amazing! We had different flavors for all three tiers and our guests loved what every flavor they happened to get a slice of. We also froze our top tier to cut for our wedding anniversary and the cake still tasted amazing after we defrosted it.
    Johanna couldn't come recommended enough! She was professional and sweet.

    Thank you so much, Marian! We are so glad you enjoyed the cake as well as your guests. Thank you for taking the time to share. It was an honor to be a part of your special day!

    Johanna was such a joy to work with! She made our wedding cake and a variety of desserts and we got tons of compliments, especially on the delicious bundt cakes.

    Johanna's options are plentiful and she is flexible. She requested that I have a decision on what I wanted a month before the wedding, and I literally changed my mind the day it was due and it was no problem for her. Additionally, her set up presentation is lovely.

    She made for us: our wedding cake (lemon cake with blackberry inner icing and buttercream outer icing), mini blueberry and raspberry bundt cakes, cream puffs, merengue's, and 2 different flavors of macarons which she and my wedding planner, Julia Pavlovski of Wedding Wise Seattle, boxed up all pretty together the night before out big day.

    The only thing I wish had been different is me being able to have more than one bite of cake and one merengue! But life just isn't always fair for a bride. *sigh*

    Everyone loved our wedding cake! We ordered a two tier wedding cake, with snickerdoodle, salted caramel filling and vanilla buttercream as the top tier, and chocolate with espresso buttercream for the bottom. Drooling yet? You should be, because this cake was one of the best I've ever eaten! We also got a grooms cake in hummingbird, which is like a pineapplely carrot cake, with the vanilla buttercream. The flavors were top notch, and we received nothing but compliments on how good our cake tasted!

    The cakes were both also beautiful. I wanted something simple and elegant, and Johanna delivered. Our cakes were swirled buttercream, and looked like they came out of a magazine. They didn't need anything added to make them look good!

    To top it all off, Johanna was very responsive to our budgeting needs. We were doing a very DIY wedding, so keeping costs down was really important to us. Johanna was there to help guide us on an appropriate cake size, as well as other options to help keep us in budget while still getting the full cake experience. Now everyone is talking about how our future cakes need to come from Delicately Sweet Confections. One of my new brother-in-laws is a chef, and I think he'd love a birthday cake from here!

    Johanna was great for our wedding! We had decided pretty late in the game on our desserts (~3-4 weeks before) and she came through and was able to make great. She did our cake (gluten free without an exorbitant markup) and a range of different flavored cupcakes. My husband wanted to have a new recipe that she didn't have on her price list and she was able to make that as well (bacon maple pancake) and it was so good! Her gluten free stuff tastes phenomenal and the cupcakes were a big hit (both the glutoid and gluten free ones).

    Johanna did the cupcakes for our wedding and did an amazing job! From the initial tasting to the day of the event, she was helpful, professional and very organized. She had great suggestions on quantity to order, how to display and she even made gluten free cupcakes for some of our guests with dietary restrictions. The cupcake display tower with a small cake on top was beautiful and she even made a sign listing the cupcake flavors. All were delicious!

    OMG, the cake! Our wedding guests (and us) loved it and wouldn't stop talking about it! I was lucky enough to have a piece saved for my breakfast the next morning. The best breakfast ever. :)

    Working with Johanna for our wedding was a pleasure. She responds promptly over email and communicates well. Payment was very easy and done online. I follow her Instagram and asked her to recreate a design in our wedding color, which she did beautifully. Her cake designs are really pretty, plus she also makes other smaller desserts in lieu of cake.

    Our cake and frosting tasting was so fun---we went in thinking we would get chocolate cake, but were blown away by the snickerdoodle cake with cinnamon frosting---you have to get it! We loved it so much that I plan to order it again for a birthday.
