may the fourth be with you
My husband and I were married in May of this year and, months later, we are still hearing from our friends and family how much they loved the desserts at our wedding.
Working with Hands on Sweets was the best experience, and if you are on the hunt for a dessert assortment AND an absolutely stunning and delicious cake, please look no further! Chef Marie and her team are in the business of making tasty dreams come true. She is the most warm and accommodating vendor, and didn't bat an eyelash at my constant questions / requests / changes! She made sure everything was perfect. And, she is a complete professional and expert, so letting her work her magic without having to overdirect is the best gift for a busy bride! If you choose to work with Hands on Sweets, you will float into your wedding day without a single stress and you will walk out with a full belly, happy guests, and gorgeous photos of a noteworthy display.
Thank you to Chef Marie and Hands on Sweets for making our wedding day that much more sweet and for taking away every ounce of stress while still bringing my visions to life!My husband and I were married in May of this year and, months later, we are still hearing from our friends and family how much they loved the desserts at our wedding.

The BEST Sweets Table
It’s been two months since my wedding, and the one thing all our guests are still raving about was our desserts table by Hands on Sweets! I’m so happy we found Chef Marie and her team. They were so easy to work with, extremely communicative, and the desserts were BEAUTIFUL. Hands on Sweets was also extremely flexible about changing desserts and counts, and the tasting was one of my favorite parts of wedding prep 😊 Marie was super helpful at making sure we had a good mix of dessert types, and gave us incredibly helpful guidance on our cake. We originally were thinking we didn’t want cake at all, and I’m so glad we ended up having one, as it was a beautiful focal point of our table.
Our desserts table ended up being a perfect blend of all our favorite items, but in an elegant way that still matched our color scheme and decor. I feel like sometimes you sacrifice flavor for looks, but everything on our table was also absolutely DELICIOUS. I’ve never seen a desserts table completely cleared at a wedding, but ours was. In fact, I had people asking me, even before dinner was served, if they could grab something. Marie and her team were also kind enough to set aside a separate box of goodies for my husband and I to take home. I’m so thankful they did, otherwise we wouldn’t have gotten any since it was all gone by the end of the night 😊
They were one of the easiest vendors to work with, and their prices were extremely reasonable for the value and reliability. If you’re considering a sweets table for your event, Hands on Sweets is your place!

Amazing and Creative
Wow is all we can say! Marie is not only sweet, she is very creative and artistic in her designs. The "sugar flower" design she created on the cake was so intricate, it looked real. We would highly recommend "Hand On Sweet" for your wedding cake choice. And not a surprise, the cake was also delicious and liked by all the guest.Wow is all we can say!

Wedding Cake & Groom's Cake
My husband and I had an outdoor tented reception about an hour outside of Tampa. Marie was excellent in coordinating the travel (our two cakes arrived in perfect condition) and set up. She recommended using sugar flowers in place of real flowers on the cakes so that they wouldn't look wilted by the end of the night. Her sugar flowers are honestly prettier than actual flowers. Our wedding cake was simple and had a slightly modern twist on an elegant/traditional wedding cake to keep it up to date. I also so appreciated being able to take home the cake samples before hand to try (Marie followed COVID-19 guidelines beautifully). We didn't feel like we missed on the experience of "traditional" cake tasting. She wrapped the sample cakes up in gorgeous packaging and my husband and I came home and tested them with a glass of champagne. Her attention to detail was unmatched. My favorite cake was probably the groom's cake. My husband is very into cycling, and likes to do so on mountain trails. I shared my extremely basic vision/idea for the groom's cake with Marie and she took it from there and created an absolute masterpiece. She has vision. She even recommended these AWESOME cyclist figurines to put on the cake that really just put it over the top. Marie is incredibly sweet, professional, openly shares any advice/pointers, and has timely communication. Also, she makes the best carrot cake I have ever had. 180 people reception and we had 0 leftovers (and the cake was huge). I have gotten more compliments on how delicious the cake was than almost anything else.My husband and I had an outdoor tented reception about an hour outside of Tampa.

Absolutely the best wedding cakes! Highly recommend!
Chef Marie was amazing! It was wonderful to have the opportunity to do a tasting of different flavors so I could pick the ones I liked the most - I actually like all, but had to narrow it down to two. I gave her examples of cake photos I liked - she reviewed them and gave me advice on what was best based on our requirements. In the end, she provided us with the perfect cakes for wedding!

Beautiful & Delicious!
Chef Marie is absolutely amazing to work with. We first met her at a wedding expo and fell in love with her beautiful designs and delicious cakes and knew that we wanted to have her create our perfect wedding cake. During the initial consultation, Marie was wonderful at helping guide us and create a vision for our cake based on all of the details/elements that were important to us. It was difficult at first for us to completely envision what we wanted, but Marie was able to quickly take our thoughts and put together a perfect sketch/representation to match our overall theme. The cake tasting was one of our favorite parts of the entire wedding planning process and Marie was able to offer some really great recommendations as far as pairings for cake flavors & fillings. Every cake and filling we tasted was absolutely amazing. We had such a hard time deciding which we liked best that we ended up going with two different flavor options. Seeing the cake brought to life on our actual wedding day was incredible. The cake itself was stunning and we can honestly say it was just as excellent of quality and flavor on the wedding day as when we did our initial tasting. We also had Marie make custom cookies as take-home treats for our wedding guests which also turned out perfect - everyone loved them! We truly love Marie's work and would highly recommend Hands on Sweets for any important event cake/pastry/dessert needs!Chef Marie is absolutely amazing to work with.

August wedding
Cannot give enough reviews about Marie and Hands on sweets. She was super flexible when we had to reschedule our day due to covid. We cut our wedding guest count but wanted to keep our dessert table for our original count and give guests a to go box of desserts for their gift. Everyone loved the desserts! Can’t wait for a reason to order a cake from them on the future!Cannot give enough reviews about Marie and Hands on sweets. She was super flexible when we had to reschedule our day due to covid.

Chefs Marie & Carlos are the BEST
I would highly recommend that every couple look into Hands on Sweets for their wedding dessert needs. My wife and I were blown away with the level of service that was provided to us throughout the entire process. We worked with Marie for our wedding and she was an absolute joy. During the tasting she walked us through everything, made awesome suggestions, and made our dessert table the most anticipated part of the event (after the ceremony of course). Marie went out of her way to make sure all of our needs & wants were met as we wanted an atypical setup (no cake), rather an assortment of desserts. Each dessert option was not only incredibly delicious but beautiful as well. Each dessert looked like a piece of art. Would 10/10 recommend for all of your dessert needs!

Great-Looking Cakes That Taste Even Better!
The entire experience of working with Hands on Sweets to create our wedding cake was a true joy! It all started when we met with Chef Marie for a tasting. We were amazed by the fact that she was able to listen to the details of what we were hoping for and immediately sketch out a picture of what the cake could look like. It's that kind of artistry that makes Hands on Sweets special. And make no mistake about it- the taste of the cake matches the beauty of its looks! During our tasting, we had the pleasure of enjoying a number of different flavor combinations, but ultimately we went with two choices: 1) pink champagne cake with strawberry coulis and vanilla buttercream, and 2) lemon chiffon cake with raspberry coulis and raspberry buttercream. Just rewriting the descriptions of those cake flavors (each for different cake layers) makes my mouth water. The cake was perfect- tasty, smooth, and easy to enjoy. Our guests said they loved both of the unique flavor combinations, and we couldn't be more pleased with how everything turned out. Thank you to Chef Marie and Chef Carlos for the amazing job you do!The entire experience of working with Hands on Sweets to create our wedding cake was a true joy!

Cakes were beauitful and my husband loved his turtle groom cake. Planning from out of town and not seeing or tasting before hand - chef Marie beat my expectations. I would refer her business to everyone if I lived in FL. My guest ranted and raved over the taste and beauty. She was more than accomodating.

Chef Marie is one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet, and she truly went above and beyond for our wedding. We knew we didn't want a white cake, so she showed us tons of beautiful examples at our tasting – she even sketched out her ideas as we talked to her. The final cake was absolutely stunning (and so delicious), and she created the most amazing dessert bar that our guests still rave about to this day. I definitely have a sweet tooth, so our cake vendor was super important to me – Hands on Sweets was the perfect choice!Chef Marie is one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet, and she truly went above and beyond for our wedding.

We worked with Chef Marie and one word that summarizes her work is delicious and amazing!
She helped us make our wedding memorable with a stunning cake- a masterpiece of thin fondant and buttercream. She was even flexible to allow us two flavors in our 3 tier cake!
She was professional, patient, flexible, and truly great at her craft.
We would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone on your special day!We worked with Chef Marie and one word that summarizes her work is delicious and amazing!

Cake and customer service that are absolutely stellar
We used Hands-On Sweets for our wedding this spring and absolutely loved it. Carlos and Marie were wonderful to work with and were fantastic at helping create a design that looked beautiful. That being said, as gorgeous as the cake was, the way it tasted was even better. We went with a carrot cake with vanilla layers and cream cheese frosting and it was absolutely delicious. So good in fact, that we decided to forgo the whole "save the top layer" tradition and eat it all that weekend - it was too good to wait on! Would absolutely recommend them again.We used Hands-On Sweets for our wedding this spring and absolutely loved it.

Best Desserts!
We were recommended Hands on Sweets by our wedding coordinator, and we couldn't have asked for a better baker! Chef Marie and Chef Carlos are amazing! As an out-of-state couple, communication was super important to us, and Chef Marie was always available to answer our emails or phone calls. We had several consultations with her about what we wanted, and we were absolutely blown away! As a multi-cultural couple, we really wanted to have desserts that represented both of us, and they were able to find and create some of our favorite desserts that are not necessarily traditional. They are both incredibly talented, and everyone was raving about how great our cake and dessert table were!We were recommended Hands on Sweets by our wedding coordinator, and we couldn't have asked for a better baker!

The cake of our dreams ♥♥
I couldn't recommend Hands on Sweets enough for your wedding! They are so talented and creative. We met with Chef Marie for a tasting then sat down with her to describe our dream cake. She knew exactly what we meant when we asked for a naked cake and she had great ideas like incorporating rose gold metallic icing (the color of our rings) into the cake. We chose to have alternating tiers of chocolate and pink champagne flavored cake with raspberry buttercream and raspberry coulis. The cake tasted heavenly, we can't wait to order another topper next year for our anniversary. Thank you so much Hands on Sweets!!! ♥I couldn't recommend Hands on Sweets enough for your wedding!

Best Dessert Table Ever!
We had a few cake tastings and nothing compared to Chef Maria and Chef Carlos. Not only do their desserts/cakes taste amazing but the set up of their dessert tables really 'take the cake'. They are a work of art. I would hire Hand on Sweets to do cake/desserts again!We had a few cake tastings and nothing compared to Chef Maria and Chef Carlos.

Delicious and Beautiful!!
Our cake was not only delicious, but a work of art! Chef Marie is so creative and talented and it truly shows!! When we first talked on the phone to set up a tasting she was so lighthearted and sweet! The tasting was an experience in itself! So many yummy flavors and options! Marie had great ideas and really put our vision to life!! The cake looked absolutely gorgeous on our big day and tasted just as good! We had a 3 tier cake with two flavors and got so many compliments on both!! Would recommend again and again! You can really see their passion for their work come through!!Our cake was not only delicious, but a work of art! Chef Marie is so creative and talented and it truly shows!!

Great taste and beautiful presentation!
Chef Marie was a bottle of sunshine from the minute we did our taste testing to the day she delivered the cake at the wedding! Even if there was an idea change for the presentation, amount of cake, etc. She was willing to help She was quick to respond to any emails. Welcomed all ideas and made me so comfortable. Then of course the taste of the desserts were amazing and beautiful to top it off! Highly recommended!Chef Marie was a bottle of sunshine from the minute we did our taste testing to the day she delivered the cake at the wedding!

Delicious and beautiful
Hands on Sweets is amazing! Their cakes are delicious. It was so hard deciding what flavor to go with which, in my opinion, is a pretty good problem to have. I gave Chef Marie a really rough idea about what I wanted my cake to look like and she sketched out something more beautiful than I could have imagined. About a year later, the cake looked identical to the sketch. It was the cake of my dreams and I am so happy that we chose to get our cake here!Hands on Sweets is amazing! Their cakes are delicious.

How sweet it is!
I have a major sweet-tooth, and HOS never ceases to amaze me with their delicious and creative desserts. They not only created a beautiful marble wedding cake to complement our wedding decor, but a custom deer head for the groom’s birthday cake, and a full dessert bar with all of my favorites- macarons, monogram cookies, pinwheel marshmallow cookies, mini donuts, and rice krispie treats! We even used the custom monogram cookies for our welcome boxes. There was not a single dessert left at the end of the night. We can’t thank you enough for all of the sweet ways you made our wedding day special.I have a major sweet-tooth, and HOS never ceases to amaze me with their delicious and creative desserts.
