    Beautiful and Delicious Deserts!

    We worked with Kelly at Glass Slipper Gourmet for our wedding cake and desserts. At our tasting and design appointment she walked us through the entire process and her wide range of cake flavors had something for everyone, sweet, floral and/or rich. Her signature flavor “Honey Bee Mine” was so well balanced and original, our guests could not stop raving about it!

    Kelly helped us come up with a unique design based off of a couple of pictures that complemented our overall event, and also made a sheet cake to supplement as well as a mini dessert bar with brownies, rice crispies and cupcakes for 80 people, and delivered them to our venue.

    Amazing cake designer!

    We're beyond happy we chose Glass Slipper to cater our September wedding in Berkeley. Kelly worked with us to create a very personalized cake taste and design that was tailored to us, and she was super helpful coordinating everything from the design, to the taste, to the return of the items she loaned us (which we accidentally stole – she was incredibly understanding).
    Many of our attendees were blown away by the design, which was non-traditionally beautiful (we had a mountainous landscape with a starry night). Additionally, the cake flavors we had, honey lavender and almond vanilla, were tasty and highly distinct. Highly recommend!

    Beautiful cupcakes and cutting cake!

    After our May 2020 wedding was postponed, we agreed with our vendors to follow up the following year about our new date of October 16th, 2021. Unfortunately, our only vendor that fell through was our baker, who retired. We had our hearts set on the flavors we had initially chosen and the person who took her business over was unable to accommodate our dream cupcake and cutting cake menu. Although we were worried about finding a new vendor, it ended up being a silver lining, as we found Kelly with Glass Slipper Gourmet and were thrilled with her work! She was quick to respond, professional, completely accommodating of our hopes for our flavors, and when we met for our tasting we realized how lucky we were to work with her! We went in with our original menu set in our minds, but upon tasting her signature flavor (Honey Bee Mine) we were completely blown away and knew we had to add it to our cupcake menu immediately! Our guests raved about the cupcake flavors and the presentation (including our cake topper featuring the bride, groom, and our feline companion) and our cutting cake were just beautiful. We are looking forward to having our frozen leftover cake on our 1-year anniversary!

    Amazing desserts!

    Kelly was our dessert vendor for our wedding and I can't recommend her more highly. Her creations are stunning and she has the most amazing flavors - I challenge you to pick only one! We had change our large wedding to a small backyard gathering due to COVID (with the hope of a reception later on), and Kelly was very flexible about letting us move our deposit for the bigger event and working with us for a smaller scale dessert set-up for the backyard gathering as well. We went with a simple cutting cake in the Mexican Hot Chocolate flavor - a marble cake spiced with cayenne and cinnamon that is to die for, which Kelly artfully arranged flowers from our florist on top of - and cupcakes modeled off her signature Honey Bee Mine flavor, lavender blossom cupcakes with blueberry filling and honey cream cheese. Our families absolutely loved the desserts and understood why we'd been hyping them up since we booked. I can't wait to work with Kelly again in the future and highly, highly recommend that you order one of her cakes!

    I Still Dream About This Cake

    I was so happy with how this cake looked and even more impressed with the taste. Kelly was fantastic and was able to help me refine my vision. We were able to do an in-person tasting which was also amazing- it was hard to narrow down to two flavors for our two-tier cake. I loved how this cake turned out and everyone raved about the two flavors- Princess Cake and the Blueberry Lavender.

    Kelly was fantastic - she made a beautiful tower of cupcakes that pushed our dessert bar over the top. I'd recommend Kelly 10/10!

    Kelly is a JEWEL!

    My husband and I met Kelly O'Brian back in 2009 and hired her to design our wedding cake for our 2010 wedding, which we ended up forfeiting to elope! So when we made the decision to RENEW OUR VOWS (WEDDING STYLE) for our 5 year anniversary, it was NO DOUBT Kelly was our choice!

    She allowed us to DESIGN OUR OWN cake and she brought it into fruition absolutely EFFORTLESSLY! Her custom flavors were a HIT at our event and our guests are still craving more of it post wedding! Lol.

    Thank you SO MUCH Kelly for being such a "ROCKSTAR" -- We will definitely choose you over and over again for every major event we host!

    Kelly from Glass slipper gourmet went above and beyond for our cake. I am so impressed! We had an Alice in Wonderland themed wedding and having a whimsical cake is a big part of the event. Not only was the cake delicious but it was beautiful. Kelly sculpted the most amazing cake decorations out of gum sugar from flowers, over size teacup & saucer to a golden pocket watch, the details was amazing! Glass slipper gourmet is professional, informative, taste great and all at a very fair price. You can't go wrong with them.

    Kelly is fantastic!
    We had e-mailed her inquiring about a cake for our wedding. She came to our house for a complimentary cake tasting with about 10 flavors, all were amazing! She told us that she already had an event that day but she could do our cake if she could deliver it at 2pm. We ended up picking two flavors and she decorated it beautifully! She didn't try talking us into decorations or designs that we didn't want. I can't wait until our 1st anniversary so I can dig into that cake again!

    Kelly at Glass Slipper Gourmet is a real gem of a lady. She is energetic, creative, professional, and I could go on and on but mostly she is TALENTED! Her prices are reasonable and her work is impeccable. She REALLY LISTENS and keeps up with a bride's changing ideas. She can take your vision and really turn it into something that you absolutely love. I loved my wedding cake - both the design and the flavor (dark chocolate with both milk and dark chocolate mouse filling). If you have the opportunity I'd say HIRE KELLY!
    (Insider note: she has an awesome cake flavor that's perfect for wedding or baby showers: "Honey Bee Mine"! Check it out on her blog: http://glassslippergourmet.wordpress.com/cake-flavors/)

    Absolutely AMAZING! The cake was beautiful AND delicious. Even the tasting process was great (she comes right to your house and doesn't charge for it!).
    We could really tell that Kelly put a lot of time, thought and energy in to the design of our cake. She took the theme of our wedding and the detail on my dress as inspiration and it turned out beautiful.
    My new husband and I as well as our 75 guests were extremely happy with the design, detail and flavor (Jamaican Rum) of our cake.
    The prices are incredibly (and surprisingly) reasonable for everything we got. She definitely could charge a lot more for all that was done for us. You can tell that there is a lot of passion put in to the cakes that are produced and to me, it's the small details that make an incredible wedding. Kelly helped to make ours all the more special.

    If You Want a Fantastic Cake, You Can't Go Wrong with Glass Slipper Gourmet!

    The cake we got for our wedding was spectacular, both visually and in terms of its deliciousness! We opted for a more modern style, marbled color on fondant, and the result was stunning, a great centerpiece for our wedding. In addition, both the cappuccino and blueberry cake flavors were phenomenal. The blueberry in particular was not just good but very interesting, truly unique and unlike anything we’d had before.

    In terms of planning and preparation, Kelly was extremely professional. We had a pleasant experience tasting a variety of flavors, and she took plenty of time to work with us about our ideas for a wedding cake and come up with something we’d really like! She was also so helpful guiding us in the planning process, as we hadn’t gone to look at linens/colors yet, right away Kelly sprang into action, gave us a recommended vendor for rentals, called them up to see what availability they had and explained the process/order of planning to us. It was extremely helpful and definitely above and beyond!

    Due to an emergency closure of our initial venue we had to make some minor schedule changes relatively late in the planning process, and Kelly took this in stride and took care of everything for us.

    Big thumbs up for Glass Slipper Gourmet, they nailed it!

    Lovely Experience, Great Cake!

    Kelly was welcoming, accommodating and very professional throughout our cake tasting, helping us to make our flavor and design decisions much easier. She gave thoughtful recommendations and answered all of our questions, which helped narrow down the field of options in a timely manner.

    Once our wedding day arrived, tasting the cake vindicated our choices. Our thanks to Glass Slipper Gourmet for being a part of our special day. We highly recommend this vendor and the Honey Bee Mine flavor cake.

    Delicious & beautiful cake

    We are so happy we went with Glass Slipper Gourmet for our wedding cake. Kelly was great to work with leading up to the day. On the day, she delivered the cake to our restaurant, used some extra flowers from our florist to decorate it, and even said some kind words to help me calm down when something unrelated to the cake didn't go as planned. The cake itself was a hit! We chose the Honey Bee Mine and the Chocolate Divine flavors. Both were delicious, and it seemed like all the guests liked one or the other flavor. Overall, a great experience with Kelly and a delicious cake!

    Kelly was a dream!!

    Kelly was an absolute pleasure to work with from the first email to my wedding day. Not only are her cupcakes and cake absolutely delicious but the work and craftsmanship that goes into them is absolutely beautiful. My husband and I wanted very intricate details and designs on both our cake and cupcakes and she delivered them both absolutely perfectly.

    Perfect!!!

    Kelly did a wonderful job. She listened to what my vision for my wedding was and made them a reality. Not only were my cupcakes beautiful they were delicious. She put everything together just as I wanted it. I had so many compliments on how good they were. Kelly was always prompt in replying to my questions. If I have any other big events Glass Slipper Gourmet will definitely be on my to due list!!!!

    We were three or four months away from our wedding and our original cake maker wasn't able to help us.
    From the moment I reached out to Kelly to help us with our wedding, she was immediately responsive, excited and ready to help us. My husband and I wanted something unique to us for our wedding cake and we asked her for a Napoleon cake. We sent concept ideas back and forth, she gave me ideas and explained the logistics for the day of. Oh and the the tasting was such a spectacular experience, and delicious.
    On the day of, the cake could not have been more perfect. It was beyond beautiful. All of our guest were in awe of how beautiful it was as well as the taste ;)
    Overall, Kelly provides the best quality, customer service and price. Highly recommend for any event!

    We met Kelly only 3 months beforw our wedding. We originally wanted to go with a new backery that was recommended to us by closw friends of the backers. After months of planning our cake they canceled on us and we didn’t know what to do, I started reading reviews and found Kelly. We had some email back and forth and I was so happy that she had that one day still open. We went in for a cake tasting and it was incredible, all the cakes where so good. We decided to go with Kelly’s signature cake. What we really likes about Kelly was that she gave us recommendations on how to cut the costs reather selling us more and more. We were on a very tight budget from the start so we really appreciated that. She also took a lot of time to explain options and flavors and decor with us and we felt how passionate she is about her business. On the day of our wedding Kelly delivered the cake and it looked so beautiful and tasted even better. Everyone was raving about it and we were lucky to take the little that was leftover home and enjoy the next day! I highly recommend Kelly, finding someone who is so passionate about her art is rare! We look forward on hiring her back on for future parties.

    Making the choice to have Kelly make and design our wedding cake(s) was easy. After seeing how many outstanding reviews she has received over the years made me feel comfortable and confident in choosing glass slipper gourmet, which is a huge deal when you are planning a wedding because it feels like you are constantly worrying and making decisions you aren’t too sure about. When we first met with Kelly for our tasting we were very impressed with how easy it was. She walked us through everything without overwhelming us. She got to know us as a couple and helped steer us in the right direction. We had her make our main wedding cake (3 tiers) and two small cakes to showcase our parents wedding cake toppers. Her flavors are all to die for. We chose 2 flavors; her famous “honeybee mine” which not only tastes fantastic but visually it was a total show stopper & our second flavor was a chocolate stout which is a new flavor she has recently added making all chocolate lovers fall to their knees.....YUM!!! Kelly was very professional and easy to work with. I never had to worry. She was on top of everything from double checking on venue details to letting me know exact arrival time to reminding me to reach out to florist about leaving flowers for her to place on the cake. I cannot say enough great things. There are always a few things that don’t go exactly right on your wedding day and I am happy to say that my cakes were not one of them ....everything was PERFECT!!! Thank you Kelly!!!

    Our beautiful cupcake tower wedding was absolutely perfect. The cake was absolutely delicious! We had Snickerdoodle, Mocha Cappuccino, and Pucker Up (Lemon) cupcakes. There was a variety of unique flavors that Kelly offered that we would have loved to include but we stuck to three! Kelly followed through with my vision completely. The cake was better than I could have possibly imagined. Kelly was very professional and paid attention to our wants and needs.

    I would highly recommend Glass Slipper Gourmet for your wedding. Kelly was affordable and incredibly professional. I am so happy with our wedding cake. It was delicious and beautiful.
