Best decision!

Working with Laney for our wedding cake was a great experience. The cake was absolutely delicious. She worked with me on a design that I fell in love with and did everything she could to fit in our budget.

On our wedding day, our cake was even more beautiful than we imagined, and it was just as delicious as it was during our tasting. I highly recommend Delicious Desserts for your wedding cake needs or a cake for any special event.

Look no further than Delicious Desserts!

I have had incredible experiences working with Laney. I am a local photographer and shot a wedding where Laney was hired to provide the cake and desserts. She put together the most impressive wedding cake that I have witnessed in my entire career---and I have seen hundreds of wedding cakes. It was so modern and really a work of art. The couple that hired her raved all night about how fabulous and tasty it was. I was so impressed by her work that I had her design a cake for my boyfriend's birthday recently. Both of us thought it was the best cake we had ever tasted and it was just what I asked for aesthetically. I can only hope that I get to work with Laney at many more weddings so that I can see and taste her gorgeous, delicious cakes. Thanks again!

Are you interested?

Best Wedding Cake Ever!!

Laney did an awesome job with our wedding desserts!! For our wedding cake, we went with two flavors- lemon cake with butter cream and raspberry filling, and red velvet cake with cream cheese filling. The cake was so moist and flavorful, even my groom who isn't a sweets person was super impressed and ate a slice himself! I was obsessed with it- I honestly don't know if our cake topper will last a year in our freezer because it is too delicious! Laney did a great job working with our florist Wimberly to decorate the cake with flowers - it went so well with the rest of our colorful fairy-tale garden wedding theme! Laney was also sweet and made amazing chocolate chip cookies for my dad and members of my family who prefer cookies. All 60+ cookies were gone in minutes at our reception because they were such a hit! Laney did a wonderful job making our unique groomscake- my groom's favorite dessert is cheese cake so she made cheese cake bites and cake bites decorated with his favorite things- Clemson, volleyball, golf, cigars, for the rehearsal dinner. She set up and brought the cake stands herself, so we didn't have to worry about a thing! Thank you so much Laney for making the most delicious wedding cake and chocolate chip cookies I've ever had! You are the best!

Best Wedding Cake, Cookies, and Groom's Cake Ever

Several of our other vendors recommended Laney at Delicious Desserts for my daughter’s wedding cake and they did not steer us wrong! We were SO happy with the beautiful and delicious wedding cake. It was exactly what we wanted and was even prettier than I imagined. We got the red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting and lemon with raspberry filling. Our guests loved it – so delicious! We also had fresh baked cookies and we put them by the coffee station and can I just say, they were a huge hit! So yummy! We had a rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding for the wedding party and all the family that came into town for the wedding. We decided to do the groom’s cake there and she did lovely little cake bites and super delicious strawberry cheesecakes with little pics with the groom’s favorite things like golf, cigars, football, etc. – it was so cute! Laney came to both venues, set everything up, and provided the cake stands needed. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. She also went above and beyond when I forgot to get the cake stands back at the end of the night from the rehearsal dinner and had to leave town after the wedding. She was so sweet and said she would go get them for me. We were extremely happy with Delicious Desserts and would recommend using her!

Honestly, she is the best. I was very lost and she helped me figure out something I would love. She ended up re-creating the Charleston goldbugs I had on my save the dates invitations etc. She also helped me figure out the best way to feed 270 people cake etc. Everyone commented on how delicious it was. She is creative and obviously an amazing baker! I full recommend Laney, she is also just a lovely person to work with as well!

Laney is the best! I didn't know exactly what I wanted, but Laney listened and then designed the perfect cake - it reflected my personality and the nuances of the wedding by mirroring the beading and lace designs in my dress in the piping on the cake - Absolutely elegant and glamorous - perfect, classy and did I mention delicious!!! Thank you Laney for helping make my wedding day perfect!

I cannot say enough good things about Laney and the cakes she makes. We ordered two cakes for a graduation dinner. They were absolutely as delicious as they were beautiful. Laney went above and beyond from communication to design to taste and delivery. Delicious Desserts made the event spectacular. Thank you so much!

Laney blew me away with the cake I found on Pinterest- she made it look even better than the photo. It was delicious and truly a stunning cake! Thank you so much, Laney!!

Laney was absolutely wonderful to work with. My husband might say I'm obsessed with cake (I'm a baker myself in my free time) so we probably did 7 other cake tastings before we found Laney. Her cakes were without a doubt, the best I've tasted! If you're getting married in Charleston, definitely use Delicious Desserts! I promise you won't be disappointed!

We absolutely loved working with Laney! Cakes were delicious, tasting was a blast, and Laney has a great eye for design. Everyone at our wedding loved our cakes, and she even made us our favorite pies to go along with everything. I used Laney for a baby shower after the wedding, and we'll definitely be getting our cakes from her in the future!

I can't even begin to tell you how thankful and ecstatic we are to have been able to work with Laney. She is truly a great baker and an amazing artist. The cake was absolutely delicious and all of our guests agreed. With regards to the design, Laney was able to take our vision and make it even better than we could have imagined. The level of detail and dedication she puts into her cakes is second to none. To say the cake was beautiful and flawless would be an understatement. As if all of that doesn't set Laney apart from other wedding cake bakers in Charleston, I can't even begin tell you how incredible she was to work with. From the moment we stepped foot into her house for our cake tasting, we were laughing. Over the course of planning our wedding, Laney became, not just the person tasked with making our wedding cake, but someone we consider to be a true friend today. She is a lovely and hilarious person who has a heart of gold. I can truly say that Laney will do whatever it takes to give her clients what they want. When something as important as your wedding cake is on the line, Laney is the person you want in your corner. Seriously...there's just no comparison!

Working with Laney from Delicious Desserts was one of the biggest highlights of our wedding planning process!!! She was recommended to me by my wedding planner (Megan Chandler from Ooh! Events, simply the best!) and Laney is just wonderful. I grew up in Florence, SC, where good food is highly appreciated, and I now live in NYC, where food is good for the most part, but there's also a lot of emphasis on how things look. And things that look amazing don't always taste amazing. Laney's cakes are BOTH. Everything looks exquisite and the taste is even better. She created our cake based on our vision, but she made it better by bringing new ideas to the table. Her creativity truly sets her apart. She was also very accommodating when we had to decrease our guest count when it became closer to our wedding date, though in retrospect I wish I hadn't because then we would have had more leftover cake!! She also created other desserts for our wedding, and I received compliments from everyone on both the cake and the desserts. Aside from her phenomenal baking skills, she is just an extremely warm and fun-loving person to have by your side on your big day. I cannot recommend her more highly. She's a 10.0 out of a 5.0!!!

Working with Laney was one of the highlights of our destination wedding in Folly Beach, SC. We had her create a small cake for our reception as well as a variety of other desserts. Everything was not only delicious, but were beautifully finished and presented. We also ordered some of her famous cookies for the family to enjoy during the days after the wedding. All were so, so yummy! She was so fun and easy to work with and made everything exactly to our wishes.

I would highly recommend Delicious Desserts! Laney is extremely talented. She took the time to meet with my husband and I twice -- first about a year in advance for an initial consultation, and then again four month prior to the wedding for a more detailed decision. She showed us many examples of different designs and styles she has done in the past, and also was open to any photos on Pinterest or the Internet that I had seen. The cake she designed was beautiful and EXACTLY what I had in my mind and I had tried to convey in our conversations. We had a fairly small wedding so didn't order a second groom's cake, but if we had a larger wedding I certainly would have (the photos of her groom's cakes are amazing)! Her designs are so creative and just perfectly executed. In addition, Laney is so friendly and passionate about her craft. She took care of all of the delivery and setup of the cake on her own; it was comforting to be getting ready upstairs knowing that she had it all handled downstairs!

Laney from Delicious Desserts is AMAZING! She was so easy to work with and didn't kill me when I changed my cake design at least 5 times. She even stepped up when my wedding planner was MIA and tried to help us get in touch with him and brought us a birdcage to put our cards in at the wedding. She went above and beyond and I cannot thank her enough! Not to mention her cake is to die for! My husband and I enjoyed leftovers when we got home from our honeymoon!

I cannot tell you how much fun it was to work with Laney, the owner of Delicious Desserts. I live in Los Angeles, planned my wedding in Charleston, have a full time job that doesn't give me access to a phone and computer much throughout the day, and had no wedding planner (I had a day of, I'm not 'that' crazy) I found the entire wedding planning process fun and exciting but vendors can be difficult to plan with, given the circumstances listed above... Not Laney. Laney was amazing. I'd email her after work (which was late on the East Coast) and know I'd have an email response by the time I woke up or shortly after. We spoke on the phone several times when I could and each time I heard from her I was more and more sure that I chose the right cake vendor. She made arrangements to meet with my grandparents who drove down from Columbia to taste for me, she asked me for wedding details and a little about me and my now husband... all the info I provided and meeting my grandparents gave her an idea of who we were as a couple and the feel of our wedding day. She designed the perfect wedding cake. She nailed it. I had 150 guests, chose a 3 tier, 2 flavor cake, and almost the entire cake was eaten. It was my favorite decor piece and tasted amazing!! You can tell Laney's heart is in what she does. She genuinely cares for her clients and the product she makes from scratch and delivers. Do yourself a favor and team up with Laney. It was fun and exciting and I plan to use her for any reason I need a cake in the future!
PS, Her fondant icing is the best fondant icing I've ever tasted. I usually peel fondant icing off wedding cakes, I couldn't get enough of hers. :)

Working with Laney was a sweet an experience as our wedding cake was tasty! My husband and I enjoyed meeting her and immediately felt at ease that she would create a breathtaking treat for our guests to enjoy on the wedding day. The cake was beautiful, but countless guests commented on how delicious it was as well. In fact, my husband and I have already eaten our top layer! There was no way we could wait a year to enjoy it again.
Laney is creative, friendly and absolutely amazing to work with. We highly recommend her and are so grateful we got to meet such nice folks during our wedding planning experience.

Laney made a delicious vanilla poundcake, chocolate and vanilla poundcake and this amazing lemon and raspberry cake! They were beautifully decorated and absolutely delicious - no fake icing taste, no flaky or dry cake - everything was delicious, rich and amazing. In fact, my husband loved the raspberry and lemon cake so much that I asked her to make another one for him once we returned from our honeymoon and she did for a reasonable price. Laney is very friendly and a great baker!

Laney from Delicious Desserts was such a dream to work with! Her work is not only absolutely stunning but is DELICIOUS!!! When we first met with Laney we knew we wanted our cake to taste amazing but were unsure of what we wanted it to look like. We looked at and loved all of her prior wedding cakes but knew we wanted something original so our planner ended up showing Laney a photo of my wedding dress (without my husband/fiancé seeing!) and once she saw it she knew that was her inspiration and designed the most beautiful wedding cake. We couldn't be happier with the look AND TASTE of our wedding cake on our special day and are so looking forward to enjoying an anniversary cake from Delicious Desserts!

There are some vendors you know you just HAVE to work with from the second you meet them, and Laney Cowan is one of them. I could tell you that Laney's cake is DELICIOUS (it is). I could also tell you that Laney was the ONLY baker who was excited about making our vision come to life (she was). But what really sets Laney apart is how she cares for her clients. The very first time we met her, she drove halfway across town to hand-deliver cake samples to us. Almost a year later, when hurricane Joaquin cancelled the wedding reception we had planned and my husband's mother was unexpectedly admitted into a local ICU on life support, she again drove halfway across town to hand-deliver cake to us--this time our wedding cupcakes, which we would have never been able to enjoy otherwise. We're so grateful to have crossed paths with Laney, and she'll forever be a lifelong friend of ours.

With all the wedding cake vendors in Charleston, it can be overwhelming to choose who to work with. Laney is hands down, the best person/business for your wedding. Laney is so talented and she can work magic with cake and dessert. From the first cake tasting, I loved Laney right away. The cake is the best I have ever had, the other desserts are to die for as well. We went with a dessert bar plus our cake because we couldn't choose just one dessert! The cake was a custom design that Laney created and drew for me. She was able to put on paper and then on a cake, exactly what was in my head. Delicious Desserts will create a one of a kind cake just for you. She special ordered molds for me to choose from, responded to all my emails and just made the wedding cake/dessert process so much fun and so easy. She provided cake pedestals to display the cake and desserts and hand delivered everything day of. One of my favorite moments was seeing the cake with Laney and just giving her a big hug. She is the most down to earth, hard-working person who puts her heart and soul into every cake. As she likes to say, "It's not just cake, it's CAKE." I could not recommend Laney and her business any higher!

The owner Laney Cowan was so very helpful and was prepared with ideas based on research of my company prior to our first phone contact. I was very impressed by her passion and attention to detail.

Our experience with Delicious Desserts was absolutely wonderful! We chose Delicious Desserts for our wedding cake after doing a cake tasting in December and loving everything on the plate! My husband and I live in Indiana and had a destination wedding in Isle of Palms, so all communication after the tasting was done via email. Laney was always responsive, and did an excellent job designing our cake and sending sketches along the way so we were on the same page. She even incorporated the lace from my wedding gown into the design! I was anxious to see the cake on our big day, and was so happy with how it turned it! Everyone loved the design, not to mention both flavors were absolutely delicious! We are so glad we chose Laney at Delicious Desserts as our wedding cake artist! Thank you, Laney!!

Laney is SOOOOO much fun to work with. She makes deciding on a cake very personal. She makes you think about what you REALLY want. People have brought up how good my cake to this day. She does not just make pretty things she makes a FAB cake. I ended up having 1 big cake and 2 side small cakes. LANEY IS AMAZING!

My husband found Delicious Desserts, and she made our wedding cake! After 5 or 6 wedding cake tastings, I can absolutely say that Laney's cake with Delicious Desserts was the BEST!!!!!! Our cake was PERFECT! In fact, it was so amazing I decided to contract with Delicious Desserts for a surprise birthday cake for my husband recently! Another DELICIOUS cake!!!!

From the first telephone call, I received total enthusiasm and openness. Even though I requested that Laney create a cake that was not easy, she worked with me. This was for my son's rehearsal dinner. He is a big archery hunter. I wanted a large buck with an arrow through it and a bull's eye behind. When I went to pick up the cake...I couldn't believe it. It was perfect. In fact I thought the deer might get up and run...so real looking. My son was THRILLED!!!!!!!! I can not say enough about her work. I highly recommend her business to all! Thanks Laney!

My cake was not only BEAUTIFUL and unique but tasted fantastic! It turned out perfect! I didn’t have the pleasure of working directly with Laney because my wedding planner handled the coordination. What I do know is that I literally changed the design of my cake 1 week before my wedding, and Laney still managed to pull off my dream cake on extremely short notice. You can tell that she takes great pride in her work and it certainly shows. If you are looking for an easy to work with vendor, beautiful design, and great tasting cake, I would highly recommend Delicious Desserts for your wedding!

I absolutely adore Laney! While I was so excited to use her for our cake, the cake was definitely not one of the things I was *most* excited about heading into the big day... fast forward to the day of, and the cake is undoubtedly one of my favorite details we had! During our first meeting we tossed around a handful of ideas, and ended up with a design that was fabulous, and flavors that were even MORE fabulous. Laney consistently checked in on our progress, asking for more details that would help her with the design.

When I got to the venue the day of the wedding, I was blown away by how beautiful the cake was! Exactly like the sketches, and the handpainted monogram she put on the top tier was flawless. What's even more impressive is that the cake tasted amazing while looking amazing - a feat that not many pastry chefs have accomplished. A week after the wedding, my mom said that people were still bringing up how much they loved it. Amazing cake, amazing price, and amazing owner! THANK YOU LANEY!

Laney did an outstanding job on our cake. The design was exactly how we wanted. She was patient with me when I changed my mind on the design a few times. We had a vanilla cake with milk chocolate ganache and a raspberry filling. It was delicious and I am so glad we ordered more than we needed because we got to take some home afterwards!! Our wedding was two days before Christmas and I am thankful she made herself available to do our cake. Thanks, Laney!

Where do I even begin with Laney and Delicious Dessert of Charleston! To start, her cakes are the most delicious cakes in Charleston (no competition!), and each and every one of her cakes is a unique and special work of art. She is passionate about working with each bride and groom to make sure that their vision comes to life, and that their cake doesn’t look like every cake seen in the wedding magazines or on Pinterest. It was so inspiring to work with a wedding vendor that just loves what they do – and Laney was without a doubt such a special person to work with!

Our end product couldn’t have been more perfect! We loved it, because we felt like it embodied the theme of our wedding, yet didn’t look like every other bride and groom’s traditional wedding cake. Laney did such an incredible job of listening to our vision and running with the inspiration. We got so many compliments on the look and the taste of the cake and everyone just LOVED it! We would highly recommend Laney at Delicious Desserts of Charleston to anyone who is looking for a gorgeous cake for their Charleston wedding, party, or event!

Laney was recommended to me from my wedding planner at Charming Events, and I am so so happy that Laney was apart of our wedding day.
I am not exaggerating, I have never tasted cake as amazing as our wedding cake. We are not local to Charleston, so we went really traditional white cake with buttercream vanilla frosting. It was ridiculously good.

But what was so awesome about Laney, is I wanted to surprise my groom with a really unique cake created after his favorite vintage synthesizer, a Prophet-5. Laney was super up for the challenge, and did a lot of research on how to make his cake look as realistic as possible. On the day of, my husband almost fell over when he saw it, it even had a serial number on the back.

Our actual wedding cake was beautiful and exactly what I imagined for us.
Laney was so sweet and helpful. I could tell how much she loves what she does just by speaking on the phone. An absolute pleasure to work with. Thanks again Laney!

Laney was absolutely wonderful! My husband and I were a destination couple so we did most of our communicating through email but if there was something that wasn't clear, Laney was always sure to call to get clarification. We received countless compliments on our mini desserts and our favors (which were personalized We Are…Mr. & Mrs. cookies, a spin on We Are…Penn State). The cake was also exactly what I envisioned! I would highly recommend Laney to anyone that is getting married in the Charleston area!

We LOVED our three-tier wedding cake and key lime mini-cheesecakes for our September wedding! I knew I wanted simple elegance for the cake, but to also incorporate our theme and colors. Laney listened to us and drafted a vision of our cake during our meeting, which was just what we were thinking with a sugar starfish as an accent (starfish was our motif). To incorporate the lime green in our wedding and knowing my love of cheesecake, she added in several mini key lime cheesecakes to accent the cake.

And, did I mention the cakes were delicious? Everyone was commenting on how good our cake was (we had three different layers)...I know I got seconds. :)

Laney is a delight to work with...so personable and adorable and truly listens to her clients. Love her and recommend her wholeheartedly!

We were very happy with the quality of the wedding cake and service with Delicious Desserts. The cake was most, delicious and beautifully decorated. Laney Cowen, the owner of Delicious Desserts was very flexible as we made changes to the cake as the wedding plans progressed. Everyone told us how good the cake tasted.

I can not tell you how great it was to work with Laney! First, her cakes are DELICIOUS - I wish there was a better word! Second, she took our vision of the day and made it come to life with the cake. It was definitely a focal point on the table at the reception. She was so much fun from the minute we worked with her! You would be crazy to not use Laney!

Oh. my. gosh. Best wedding cake I've ever had, and our guests have said the same.

I did a cake tasting with Laney because my photographer recommended her. I was planning my wedding from out of state so when I was in Charleston we did all tastings on the same day. Bad mistake (apparently there IS such a thing as too much cake). We scheduled with her at the end of the day, and we were caked out! My family and I arrived to her place thinking, oh my, poor woman this is an uphill battle because we can't have anymore sugar.

Well the joke was on us, because her cake was outstanding, not to mention she has the best personality and it was definitely the most FUN tasting we had all day. We booked her for a two tier wedding cake and also some mini cupcakes and mini bourbon pecan cheesecakes (these are a MUST!). Ask her to sample biscoff butter for a filling - life changing. That was a filling we used for our cake.

She emailed me asking for our invitation and I sent her the link - she copied the palm tree from the invitation onto the top tier PERFECTLY.

She wasn't the cheapest quote I got from that day but her quote was definitely far less than I was expecting to pay for a wedding cake/desserts, and especially one of such high quality. If I were local, I would most definitely hire her to do birthdays and anything else I need dessert for.

(Can I get your recipe for my wedding cake/frosting for personal use?! I need more of it in my life!)

Laney was FANTASTIC! She was my favorite vendor; so sweet and friendly! I planned my wedding, that was to take place in Charleston, from Seattle! But you never would know it, she was so flexible with my schedule and was able to do most of our communications through email; super easy and efficient. I feel like Laney completely understood my vision for the cake and executed it perfectly. Plus, it was delicious! LOVE hummingbird cakes. :)

All I can say is WOW! Not only did the cake look AMAZING it taste AMAZING! My fiancé rarely eats sweets but he ate not one but TWO slicesl Every detail on the cake was just beautiful and perfect.

Also the service received from Laney was amazing. She is extremely talented and very professional. I would highly recommend Delicious Dessert for any occasion.

This was the prettiest and most delicious cake ever!! By far the best hummingbird, vanilla, and raspberry filling cake ever. It was so wonderful working with you. You took the time to go over everything for my Friday stop in appt while trying to finish 3 other wedding cakes. No other bakery gave me that amount of time to go over everything. I am extremely grateful. The groom's snake cake was also a huge hit with the awesome coloring on the outside to the yummy red velvet on the inside. Save the snake cake plan, I may want to do that again for our 1st anniversary.

Laney with Delicious Desserts is the best. She was professional and so easy to work with as well as very patient with us. We have very busy and sometimes difficult schedules and she was so flexible working with us. Our gold and white wedding cake was exactly how we imagined it. It was perfect and also tasted wonderful. We also had cupcakes and mini cheesecakes for a dessert bar which were fantastic. I would definitely recommend Delicious Desserts !

Working with Laney Cowen with verydeliciousdesserts
was such a fun positive experience!!! Laney listened to me and could figure out my style that I wanted for the grooms cake . I was working with her from out of town and only met once with her in person and after out meeting and tasting her scrumptious cakes and fillings she worked out exactly what I wanted and my son the groom was so pleased !!! Everyone at the rehersal party loved the cake design and it was Delicious!!! She also did the wedding cake for my daughter in law and it was exquisite and so delicious!! Almost too pretty to cut, but we did!!! Thank you Laney for making our weekend Delicious and I would and will highly recommend you to anyone!!!

When I first came to Laney with Delicious Desserts, the cake wasn't "a top priority" for me. I was so wrong to underestimate the importance of a great cake! It's all people have been talking about since the wedding! Not only was the cake Laney created for our wedding beautiful, it tasted absolutely melt-in-your-mouth amazing! Laney thought of the idea to match the background of the cake to my bridesmaids blush dresses and then piped the lace from my dress onto the 4 tiers in white. It was just perfect. I am so thrilled I chose Delicious Desserts for our wedding cake and would highly recommend any bride to do the same!

PS- She also made AMAZING personal sized cheesecakes for our rehearsal dinner that were out of this world!

I am a planner and Laney provided a very fun groom's cake for my bride and groom! They met a college party, and it was a fun and create interpretation of their first meeting. This was my first time working with Laney, and I'd love to recommend her to clients in the future. She really hit a homerun!

I can’t emphasize enough how great Laney was to work with on our wedding cake! She is such a sweet person and genuinely cares about making your big day special (I think she may have even teared up a few times during our first meeting). It’s nice to work with someone who cares so much about what they do. Going into it I didn’t really know what I wanted our wedding cake to be like, just that I wanted it to taste amazing. We knew as soon as we tasted the first bite of her cake that she was the right choice for us – every cake we sampled was soooo delicious! She also crafted a beautiful design for our wedding cake that was perfect for what we wanted. Ultimately we did a 3-tiered cake with 3 different flavors: yellow almond cake with amaretto mousse, devil’s food cake with chocolate mousse & raspberry filling, and carrot cake (my favorite). Everyone at our wedding raved about how beautiful and – most importantly – delicious the cake was! We couldn’t have been more pleased!

I chose Delicious Desserts for my wedding cake because of my wedding planner. I had complete trust in my wedding planner to know who was the best, and he was 100% correct. Laney was a pleasure to work with. When my fiance and I met with her, I had no clue what I wanted my wedding cake to look like. She took the time to get to know me and when she drew the picture of a cake she thought I would like, it was dead on. Also, I have never had a wedding cake that tastes so good. The caterer told us after the wedding that there was no cake left. They said normally they are throwing cake away because not everyone eats a piece, but that was not our case. And I would have to agree because I even had 2 pieces!!!

I was so fortunate to be able to work with Laney in creating my dream wedding cake. She was recommended by one of the top wedding planners/company in Charleston, and she did not disappoint.
The service she provided us was well beyond our expectations. She was ALWAYS quickly responsive to our phone calls and emails. It was never difficult to get a hold of her. She worked endless hours, and put in extra time and effort to help us create our dream wedding cake and cupcakes.
Not only was the design creative, but the cake/cupcake flavors of the cake were unique. Who else comes up with a BLUE velvet cake and pineapple upside-down cupcakes?
She helped make sure our wedding day went smoothly, and she even added an extra surprise just for me!!
I don't think I could have found a better, sweeter person to help create such a priceless day. I'd hire her again in a minute!

Laney from Delicious Desserts is a cake genius. She created the grooms cake for our wedding a few weeks ago, and we were speechless with the final product!! My husband is an avid fisherman, so the groomscake was an insanely awesome lifesize fish on a cutting board...it looked so real! Not only are her cakes beautiful, but they taste INSANELY GOOD! As an event planner, my experience with cakes is vast, and I can say with authority that most pastry chefs who make artistic cakes never really taste that good. This is totally not the case with Delicious Desserts. Not only was it good, it was probably the best cake that I've ever had. I would highly recommend this company - Delicious Desserts is THE choice for custom cakes in the Charleston area!

Laney is absolutely incredible!!! I consider myself so lucky to have not only met her, but been able to work with her! I contacted Laney about doing a surprise groom's cake for the welcome party / rehearsal dinner as my husband's wedding present just a short 4 weeks before the wedding and she was the perfect choice. She was so patient in brainstorming with me and my crazy ideas as well as working around my schedule to talk during times I was away from Zack. She is incredibly easy to work with and went above and beyond to help with the surprise! She set up early before we got to the venue and brought her camera (she offered as our photographer was not scheduled to be there yet) and managed to capture some of my absolute favorite images of the night! My husband was beyond blown away- all of his favorite sports teams artfully created on one amazing cake. It was incredible- both in design and flavor! We had so many guests rave about the cake and even ask for seconds.. it was that good! I can't thank her enough for helping me with the perfect present for Zack.

Laney was AWESOME! Her cakes were delicious as well. She gave us a great taste of what we were interested in at the initial cake tasting. We ended up going with strawberry and white chocolate mousse and blueberry and white chocolate mousse and they were both absolutely delicious. Perfect for our oh-so-hot August wedding in Charleston and the buttercream icing was perfectly paired with the vanilla cake and fillings. I would recommend her to ANYONE who needs a cake for ANYTHING!! She's wonderful at consulting you if you're not sure what you want and has a very friendly, personable and professional personality!

Laney provided the most gorgeous and delicious desserts for our daughters wedding!! Everyone loved it and kept asking if there was more of it. The cake was not only perfect but we have never had anything so delicious. As for the cookies, there are no words to describe how great they were. Highly, highly recommend Laney. Her bakery is out of this world.

SO DELICIOUS. We had gone to another bakery, which was okay but did not blow us away (except by the price of wedding cake, which sure ain't cheap). Then, upon recommendation from our day-of coordinator, we contacted Laney. My husband, who does not generally eat dessert (I know, it's weird), ate so many of the samples that he got a stomach ache. I mean, it was out of this world good. Highly recommend the lemon cake with raspberry and chocolate ganache filling.

Cake was delicious, very detailed on the top of the cake, wish the decorations on the sides of the cake would have blended more with the icing.
