Zoe H. Sent on 09/29/2024Painting Buttercream wedding cake 💕
Gayle was absolutely wonderful to work with! We were planning a destination wedding in York Harbor, ME from Maryland and Florida so Gayle was amazing and sent us her tastings and then worked with us to choose the design. The artist in me, fell in love with a painted buttercream cake I found on Pinterest and Gayle took that inspiration and created the most beautiful painted buttercream cake for us. It was everything I dreamed of! The flavors (lemon cake with lemon buttercream and raspberry filling) were delicious and the colors of the painted buttercream flowers matched the colors of our wedding perfectly. Everyone loved the cake and many guests went back for more! I would highly recommend Gayle to anyone having a wedding in Southern Maine, not only was her cake delicious but she was also the sweetest person to work with! -

Gayle was amazing to work with. Another cake maker left me in a lurch a month before a milestone birthday and she jumped right in and worked with me on getting to the right cake for my vision for the evening. She translated a beautiful Liberty print into a 3-D masterpiece with depth... it was just so beautiful. -

We are from Kansas and had our wedding on the beach in Kennebunk, Maine. After researching online reviews I came across Let Them Eat Cake and decided to reach out. Gayle was very quick to respond and after a few shared emails, we decided to go with this her company. Boy did she not disappoint! Not only was the cake absolutely stunning, it was exactly what we wanted and tasted AMAZING! If I knew more people in that area she would be my recommendation for all. Fabulous! -

Amanda Sent on 07/21/2023Gayle is AMAZING and so are her cakes
Gayle's cakes are to die for - our guests were all asking for her contact info! Beyond the incredible taste, she was a dream to work with - took my mess of inspiration photos and after a quick phone call and a matter of a couple hours came up with three completely original designs, all so beautiful we wanted to order three cakes. We ended up with a blend of two and couldnt be more grateful for what she did for us. Next time we throw a party in Maine, we're calling Gayle! -

Working with Gayle was a great experience! She has a really expansive portfolio of cakes she’s created, which helped me with the vision, but then she made sure that she brought the vision to life with uniqueness. We had 3 different flavors for our cake because we couldn’t narrow it down-they we’re all so good! Our guests loved it, and we did too! -

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Gayle, she was very personable and friendly and our cake turned out wonderful! Our guests were raving about how awesome our cake tasted! She went above and beyond with what we asked for and we couldn’t have been more thrilled! -

Gayle outdid herself with our wedding cake on April 30th! From the moment that we first interacted with her, she was very friendly and informative! Despite being 16 hours away from our venue, Gayle made a cake tasting happen, which was beyond our expectations or hopes! Her cake is moist and full of flavor, and you can tell that she puts a lot of time, effort and passion into it! Despite being a micro wedding, she made my husbands dream cake a reality! We could not have dreamed of it coming out any better than it did! -

Ann M. Sent on 05/11/2022Fabulous cake and cupcakes
We ordered a cake for us to cut and three different types of cupcakes to give our guests variety. Everyone raved about how fabulous the cupcakes were. We could not be happier! We had look at a local place to deliver a large wedding cake for us, but at the tasting, we weren't in love with it. We are so glad we decided to look for someone else for our big day. We couldn't be happier. I highly recommend using Gayle if you're in the Maine area. She is wonderful to work with. -

We had decided that we didn't want a traditional wedding cake, so Gayle worked with us to create cupcakes that were both delicious and visually stunning. She used my bouquet as inspiration for the cupcake design and blew us away. We also appreciated the chance to taste a variety of flavors prior to deciding on which ones we would serve at our wedding. Gayle is an artist when it comes to cake and we even saved a few cupcakes so we could continue to enjoy them the next day. -

Gayle was wonderful to work with. My husband and I had two very different tastes and preferences when it came to the flavor and design for the cake. She helped combine what we both liked into a gorgeous cake that was absolutely delicious!! The process was a breeze and very fun to design. If you are looking for a great baker with terrific vision, Let Them Eat Cake is the one for you!! -

Our wedding caterer had referred us to Gayle Forte of Let Them Eat Cake and it was hands-down one of the best things to ever happen to us. We could not have possibly asked for a better experience!
To begin with, neither my fiancé nor I were particularly set on even serving a wedding cake in the first place... (we were considering other dessert options instead) until we tasted some samples from LTEC and immediately knew there was no turning back. The cake itself as well as the frosting were so exquisitely delicious, so light and airy yet decadent and full of flavor, truly unlike any wedding cake we had ever tasted before (and we've tasted quite a few!) We couldn't choose between just one flavor of cake and frosting, and so we were able to choose two sets of each to incorporate into our cake. (How LTEC was able to pair a vanilla blueberry cake and a spice cake with maple buttercream frosting all in one is beyond me, but trust me when I say it was a heavenly pairing...)
At that point nothing could have swayed our decision, but later working with Gayle was also an absolute dream. She took the time and patience to discuss every single option she could think of, to help us design our dream wedding cake. When I admitted to her that our wedding tally had been adding up and we were really trying to keep the cost as affordable as possible (while still feeding hundreds of mouths and living up to our dream of a tiered cake) you could tell she actually went out of her way to draw up designs with various affordable adjustments/options that still fit our newly discovered, distinct vision. She was extremely open and honest about her suggestions, when we know all too well that she could have easily set a price and stuck with it instead, and we would have just nodded along in agreement anyway. But no, she actually listened and drew up several options to fit our needs, rather than her own. You don't see that much these days, and it was refreshing to say the very least.
As if things couldn't get any better, we completely let her take the reins on the design after discussing our vision with her. It was even more beautiful than we could have ever expected. I had mentioned to her that our wedding palette included this color of a beige/dusty rose, a color I could barely even accurately describe. How she was able to match it perfectly in the frosting without me being able to even describe it, I have no idea. It was exact.
I could go on and on so I will leave it here and strongly urge everyone to reach out to Gayle Forte of Let The Eat Cake for any quality baking and expertise. Thank you so much!! -

Gayle with Let Them Eat Cake blew us all away!! I knew after checking out her page that she would do something absolutely amazing!! We were not disappointed!! I had SO many guests and some of the staff for the wedding commenting, and taking pictures. They couldn't believe how gorgeous the cake was, it was so stunning! It was exactly what my husband and I wanted - it was rustic, but muted enough to not be overdone. She incorporated our Buck & Doe couple so perfectly, along with our initials "carved" into the "bark" on the cake, which was such a sweet memoir.
A lot of the guests had left before the cake was served, so we have plenty leftover. Those that ate it, loved it!! We had two flavors: lemon cake w/raspberry chambord torte & raspberry buttercream, along with a spice cake w/maple buttercream & apple pie filling. An absolutely gorgeous cake, and a delicious taste as well!! -

Our cake was exactly what we hoped for - so beautiful, classic, and of course delicious. I had friends dropping by for DAYS after the wedding to have one more sliver! I'm slightly embarrassed to say I think I had 6 or 7 pieces myself. Gayle was a total pleasure to work with. So responsive, professional and talented. We could not have been happier with our gorgeous and yummy cake! -

Our cake was exactly what we wanted. We live 3 hours away from where our venue was and our cake was from that area. Gail made sure that we talked on the phone numerous times and send multiple sketches of our cake to make sure it was what we wanted. It couldn't have been anymore perfect and it tasted amazing too!! -

We are so happy we chose Let Them Eat Cake for our wedding cake! Gayle was so organized, professional and wonderful to work with. She took our ideas and used her creativity to create a cake more perfect and beautiful than we could have dreamed. My husband and I had so much fun sampling all the amazing flavors. LTEC cake's are beautiful and delicious! -

We used Let Them Eat Cake for our wedding cake and it was beyond amazing. Gayle was incredibly organized and easy to communicate with, and created a truly beautiful and absolutely delicious cake.

Bonnie Sent on 09/05/2019I highly recommend!
We were married on August 24, 2019, and the cake that Gayle made us was amazing, in every way. The design was beautiful. I told Gayle to use her artistic creativity to incorporate some type of painting on our cake, and she did not disappoint! It also was delectable. We didn’t have a single piece go uneaten and our guests were asking for seconds (of course, there wasn’t any). We cannot thank her enough for taking your artistic liberties in the design, in crafting the flavors, or in the easy coordination and delivery. The cake was also aesthetically perfect with our style, the wedding theme, and the venue.
Now, we are happily married and looking forward to our anniversary when we can (finish) eating the top tier.
I highly recommend Let Them Eat Cake! -

Colleen Sent on 08/13/2019Beautiful and Tasty!
Our package deal for our wedding at Village by the Sea in Wells, Maine included cake from Let Them Eat Cake. We could not have been more pleased. We had a tasting at an event at our venue, and knew we were in for a treat! The cake planning begins with a design consultation with Gayle. She discusses flavors, design, etc. After the design discussions Gayle sent us a beautiful sketch of the cake. We could not have been more pleased with the service Gayle provided, the taste and appearance of the cake! -

Gayle was simply amazing to work with. She created two amazing cakes and 3 dozen cupcakes. We were a destination wedding so we did everything via email and mail. So here is why Gayle is amazing:
- She shipped us samples of cake so we had a remote taste test which was simply perfect
- She created a Curling Cake for our grooms cake from visuals we provided — She nailed it!!
- Our ocean themed three tier wedding cake was simply amazing!
- the cupcakes worked for our evening reception
The best part was the guest compliments after! Gayle will make your cake and your day!!! Say yes and Let Them Eat Cake!

Ayla Sent on 10/28/2018The best cake I've ever had
The cake we had was so delicious! I've never been a big fan of wedding cake, but ours was just as perfect on the inside as it was the outside. Gayle was an absolute dream to work with. We live in Boston, but she was able to make the tasting and design process SO easy by sending us cake in the mail and sending us a sketch of her vision of the cake (the world's cutest sketch, and it was 100% spot on!!!) If/ when I'm in Maine and need a cake, Let Them Eat Cake will be my first and only stop. -

Brittany Sent on 09/05/2017Gayle did an amazing job with my nautical themed cupcakes and anniversary cake! We had many compliments on how tasteful the cupcakes were and how the frosting was sweet but not heavy! Cupcakes were perfectly moist. We picked up our own cupcakes and Gayle left detailed instructions on storing and set up of the cupcakes that was extremely helpful. We cannot wait to eat our anniversary cake! I would definitely recommend Let Them Eat Cake for any event! -

Sarah Sent on 06/28/2017The cake was one of my favorite parts of our wedding! It was so easy to work with Gayle, who really listened to our requests and provided sketches beforehand. She perfectly captured everything that we wanted in our cake, and it became a highlight of many of our wedding photos. The Maine Blueberry flavor we upgraded to was delicious, and many of our guests talked about going up for another slice because of it! Thank you for everything Gayle! -

Jessica Sent on 01/22/2017When I first started planning my wedding, I, like many brides, was completely overwhelmed with the amount of phone calls and emails and communication that went into planning an event of that magnitude. Gayle made the wedding cake the easiest part to plan. We had one short phone call to put everything in motion (although she will give you all the time you need, of course!) and the rest was done by email. I didn't know how to explain exactly what I wanted, but It was like Gayle knew exactly what was in my brain and made it a reality. We loved our wedding cake so much and we received many compliments from our guests on both how beautiful and delicious it was! I plan to order that exact flavor (strawberry grand marnier torte filling with vanilla cake and buttercream icing) the next time I plan an event so I don't have to go my entire life without ever tasting it again! It was truly a pleasure working with her.
