Lyuda Sent on 09/06/2011Amazing cake!!! She was so creative, she helped us come up with a unique design! We had 4 suitcases, with additional addons that were special to us (such as , golf clubs, dancing shoes). The cake was yummy, chocolate with rasberries, and passions fruit! Her deserts are always amazing. I've been oreding for her on multiple occasions, and looking forward to many more! -

Becky Sent on 07/22/2026Mishandled allergy and I couldn't eat my own wedding c ake.
We are incredibly disappointed with our experience and feel obligated to warn anyone with food allergies.
My husband has a severe tree nut allergy. Before booking, we explained this in detail and specifically told the bakery that **there could be absolutely no nuts or sesame in any of our cake.** We understood that cross-contact could not be guaranteed, and we explicitly agreed to that. What we did **not** agree to was nuts being intentionally included in any part of our order.
We confirmed this requirement multiple times leading up to our wedding.
On our wedding day, after arriving at the venue, the owner informed us that there had been a mistake: the decorator had accidentally used almond flour in the top tier of our wedding cake. This wasn't a case of cross-contact—it was a completely different ingredient than what we had ordered and explicitly discussed.
She then told my husband to avoid anything containing vanilla because that was the tier with almond flour, while assuring us that the sheet cake was safe because it was supposed to be triple chocolate and chocolate raspberry.
When the sheet cake was served, we discovered that half of it was actually white/vanilla cake—not what we had ordered or what we had just been told. At that point, we had no confidence that anything had been made correctly. When you're dealing with a serious food allergy, trust matters. After already being told that an ingredient we specifically prohibited had been mistakenly used, we could no longer trust that any of the cake was safe.
As a result, **the bride and groom were unable to eat their own wedding cake.**
What has made this even more disappointing is the response afterward. Rather than acknowledging that this was a significant mistake, the owner refused to offer any partial refund because my husband had said in the moment that he is "not allergic to almonds." This completely misses the point. She did not know the specifics of his allergy before making the mistake, nor should she have assumed that intentionally including any nut after being instructed not to was acceptable.
People with severe food allergies are often advised to avoid all nuts because of the risk of reactions and cross-contamination. After discovering that our explicit instructions had already been ignored once—and after finding that the cake flavors didn't even match what we had been told—we simply could not trust the product enough for him to eat it.
Mistakes can happen. What matters is how a business responds to them. Had the bakery accepted responsibility and worked with us toward a reasonable resolution, this review probably wouldn't exist. Instead, we've been met with defensiveness, denial about the sheet cake despite what was served, and a refusal to acknowledge that the real issue was the complete breakdown of trust around a serious food allergy.
Your wedding cake is supposed to be one of the special moments of your wedding day. Ours became a source of stress, disappointment, and anxiety, and we never got to enjoy it.
If your family has food allergies—or if you simply expect your baker to follow explicit dietary instructions and stand behind their mistakes—I cannot recommend this bakery.
