    Amazing Service

    I cant say enough good things! Jenni was amazing when it came to communication and willingness to work with us. We live 3 hours away and both work Mon-Fri so finding time for a tasting was tough, but Jenni squeezed us in to her busy schedule.

    Her cupcakes were so moist and airy! It was some of the best cake ive ever had and I absolutely LOVE cake!

    When discussing cake design we discovered it just wasnt the right fit but she was abosutely amazing recommending some people who could make our dream cake design come true.

    I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GOING WITH SWEET CREATIONS!

    AMAZING in every way!

    Jenni was INCREDIBLE! Working with her was such a pleasant experience, I couldn't say more good things about her and Sweet Creations SLO as a whole. The desserts were a hit! Everyone RAVED over how yummy they were. Jenni was so easy to communicate with - quick responses, very clear, honest, and so incredibly helpful for a bride like me who really had no idea what she was doing. She was professional but also so kind it felt like working with a friend. She even came and set up the dessert table the day-of and I never once had to stress over anything dessert related. Also, everything was affordable and she was more than willing to work with our budget. I could go on and on about how wonderful it was to have Sweet Creation be a part of our big day. You can't go wrong with hiring Sweet Creations SLO. I can't thank them enough for what they did. THANK YOU

    100% recommend

    Jenni with Sweet Creations was probably my favorite vendor to work with during my wedding planning! Not only were her desserts delicious, but her prices were very reasonable and she included a lovely display for the items. She was incredibly responsive, communicated everything clearly, and was very flexible up until the last minute. She also gave thoughtful recommendations for other vendors and wedding ideas and was professional yet caring and sincere. I would not think twice about hiring her to do desserts for me in the future. Thank you so much, Jenni!!

    Sweet creations true to title!

    Jenni created a wonderful dessert table for our wedding. Everything was delicious and she decorated it so beautifully with all of her gorgeous platters. We ordered a cutting cake in opt of a wedding cake. We kept it for ourselves and we enjoyed that moist cake for the entire week following our wedding. It was still moist and delicious! Jenni made shooters, cupcakes and cheesecakes, in addition to cookie and lemon bars. Everything was exceptional! Jenni also made herself available to answer any questions or make recommendations on any other vendors seeing as how we were planning a destination wedding. She was wonderful! Thank you so much!

    Amazing service!

    We booked Sweet Creations to do our cake and desserts for wedding in April, and we could not be happier with the results. Our cake was exactly what we had hoped for and the desserts were incredible! They were so easy to work with during the planning stages, would respond almost instantly to any questions we had, and very accommodating to some of the special diets of our guests. We highly recommend Sweet Creations for anyone looking to sweeten up their special occasions!

    Thank you so much Joey for your kind words!! It was an absolute honor to be part of your day! We hope married life is treating you guys well!! And thank you again for letting us be part of your day!!!!

    Incredible!

    The dessert table and cutting cakes were beyond perfect, my guests loved them so much my husband and I did not even get a chance to try them as they all disappeared to fast-a sign of a great dessert! Working with Jeni was wonderful and she met all of my requests and was just simply a dream to work with on our wedding day!

    Review of wedding desserts

    Lauren was quick to respond to emails. Process was made easy for someone coordinating an out of town wedding. Great quality and value for the reasonable price. I would recommend her.

    Delicious, well-made treats, and wonderful service!

    Our cake and cupcakes were equally beautiful and delicious. Jenni was very accommodating with her suggestions and dessert table setup. She and her sister set up the cake and cupcakes, even adding succulents and flowers to the cake that we purchased separately. We couldn't be happier with the presentation, taste, and service! I even needed to add some more cupcakes as our final guest count came in, and it was very easy to coordinate.

    I love love love loved working with Jenni Ryan on my wedding cake! She was incredible and delivered the most gorgeous cake for me and my husband for our August Avila Beach wedding. She is amazing at communicating through email, which I valued a lot, planning my wedding from out of town. She made the process so easy and was so accommodating. She even let me borrow her cake plate free of charge. She was so lovely and sweet and her cake was absolutely gorgeous and tasted so amazing, as well! I would recommend her to every bride!

    Jenni is amazing! She created/baked the dessert bar of our dreams and it was delicious. She was always available and very professional. Jenni created a custom menu for us. We had a small cut cake, cheesecake & carrot cake & chocolate cake cupcakes, lemon bars, brownies, and tiramisu & lemon with fresh berry dessert shooters. She designed our dessert table and it was very affordable. It was a gorgeous display. Our guests raved about the desserts and went back for seconds and thirds. I would highly recommend Jenni to every bride to be!

    Jenni made our wedding cake and did an absolutely superb job. Our top tier was funfetti and the bottom tier was carrot cake. All of our guests (after eating a slice of one type of the cake and loving it) went back and requested one of the other flavor because the cake was that good!!! Jenni, please never stop baking! You are the best baker we have ever come across and we have eaten lots of sweets in our lives. Your cake flavors are amazing - not overly sweet like some cakes can be. From the beginning, I trusted Jenni completely. She was very responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. We live in New Orleans and didn't sample Jenni's cakes before our wedding day - although she offered to ship cupcakes of each flavor we were interested in (minus the carrot cake for obvious reasons). Put your trust in Jenni and her mom (who did a great job delivering the cake to our venue which was a fairly long trip) and you will not be disappointed!

    My fiance and I are from out of town and were looking for a baker on the Central Coast for our wedding. We were in San Luis Obispo for the weekend and on a really tight schedule. Jenni was in constant contact and worked really hard to get us samples. She was incredibly kind, responsive, and most of all professional. The samples were incredible both in taste and presentation. We wanted to share our experience with others who may consider hiring her for their event or wedding. We truly haven't experienced this level of service from any vendor and really appreciated the care Jenni took. Thank you so much for all of your help!

    We hired Lauren McKay's Custom Cakes & Sweet Treats for our dessert bar and wedding cake and I couldn't be more happy that we did! Everything was fresh, delicious and they created the cutest set-up for our friends and family. The entire ordering process was smooth and easy and we felt we received a lot of goodies for the price we paid. Would definitely recommend!

    My fiance, guests, and I were very happy with the dessert tablet that Jenni Ryan of Lauren McKay's Custom Cakes and Sweet Treats created for us. She helped me tailor a wide array of dessert options for my guests (hand pies, cup cakes, a two tiered wedding cake, and brownies), provided me with advice and other vendor recommendations, coordinated with my flower vendor to arrange for the dessert table flowers to be set-up, and lent me a knife and spatula when this bride forgot to buy them :)
    Overall, I was really happy with the experience, and the desserts all tasted wonderful - even days later when we were finishing the last of the left over cupcakes. I would definitely hire again and recommend them to anyone.

    We absolutely love Lauren McKay's Custom Cakes! Jen was so hopeful when it came to helping Brian and I decide what we wanted to include on our dessert table. She was also very patient when we went back and forth on what we wanted and how much of each dessert we wanted and needed! Every detail was spot on and our guests LOVED every dessert!!!!

    So grateful to have had the chance to work with her for our wedding. I couldn't recommend her more!!!

    So so happy we found Jenni for our wedding! She did an absolutely amazing job on our dessert bar. Finding a baker that has rentals, delivers and sets up was difficult to find. One thing that really stood out to me was how quickly Jenni responded. She got back to me in a timely manner every time and was very helpful. Early in my planning she offered to help find other vendors and even reach out to them herself! Jenni also gave great recommendations for other rental places and offered to pick things up since they were in the area where she lived. The day of my wedding she was so helpful and went around to make sure everything was set up properly. And where do I begin with the desserts! We got so many compliments on all of the cupcakes and bars Jenni made! I highly recommend the Strawberry Lemonade cupcakes! You will not regret booking with Jenni!

    I LOVED working with her!! She was amazing!! Not only was she super accomodating but she also went above and beyond! We had her do a dessert bar for us and EVERYTHING was equally as delicious. She was honest about what she thought worked well together flavor wise and the value for what we paid for what we got was amazing! She truly cared about making sure her dessert bar fit the decor and theme of our wedding. I cannot say enough kind words about her except you will not be disappointed.

    Jen did an amazing job on our wedding cake and dessert table. We were blown away with how it all turned out and couldn't have asked for a better representation of our vision. I would highly recommend her for any wedding or event. Affordable and beautiful, couldn't ask for better :)

    Jen from Lauren McKay's is just such a wonderful person! I can't say enough nice things - From each e-mail conversation (we planned our wedding from out of state), Jen was on top of everything!

    She cared so much about my wedding day and creating a stunning dessert table. Her cakes are as DELICIOUS as they are beautiful and she is willing to customize look and flavor! I am extra picky when it comes to desserts and from the moment we opened her adorable mason jar samples we knew our wedding cake would be from Lauren McKay's :).

    Jenni is absolutely amazing! She worked well within my budget which I didn't think was possible she was very sweet and always was quick to respond with any questions I had. Her cake flavors are delicious especially the reeses peanut butter cup flavor it was so fun to test all the different types she had it was hard to choose! I had a difficult request for my cake and she was able to figure it out and make it so special! I could not recommend her more she definitely does not disappoint!
