Angela Sent on 10/18/2020So many compliments on our dessert table!
I couldn't be more happy and impressed about how our dessert table turned out. Even our venue said it was the best table they have ever seen and they have weddings there every weekend 🤩 -

Pastries by design not only professional, accommodating but also make the best tasting fresh cakes. Maria and Alex are the best! Chocolate peanut butter, carrot and they icing are to die for! Great design too! -

Cali Sent on 12/28/2017After doing some research into a cake for my wedding, I made an appointment with Alex for a cake tasting for my husband and I. There are SO many different flavors to choose from, both regular and premium flavors. We picked out a handful of combinations we thought would be good and sent them to her. She had everything ready when we got to the appointment and her cakes are out of this world good!!! When we agreed she would be the one and were talking about prices, she was super straight forward with us. We wanted flowers on our cake and she told us up front "I can do the flowers in icing, but it would be cheaper to go through a florist and have real flowers" We wanted ribbon on the cake as well and she told us she could use hers or we could get it from wal mart for like .98 and just drop it off. We also had the option of renting one of her cake stands or using our own. She wasn't trying to nickel and dime us on everything, she was straight forward and after paying so much for everything else in the wedding, we really appreciated someone trying to help us save some money. That was the one of the main reasons we chose her. She also let us change stuff a few days before the wedding. I told her I wanted a cake topper that I received as a gift and she told us it was no problem. I brought the cake stand and topper to the wedding, Alex coordinated with my day of coordinator and florist to get the cake there with everything on it and it was absolutely gorgeous!!!! It looked and tasted better than I could have ever imagined and we are still getting compliments on it 2 months later. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND pasties by design for weddings and everything else!!! -

Nicole Sent on 10/17/2017I worked with Alex to make my cake for our wedding on September 3rd. The theme was Beauty and the Beast. As soon as I showed her the cake I wanted to started with ideas on how to make my dream cake, make it tasty, but still affordable! Everyone LOVED the cake and I would absolutely go there again for other events! Thank you Alex for your awesome work! -

Ali Sent on 12/10/2014Everything from Pastries by Design was amazing!
We loved our wedding cake and the grooms cake was so so cool looking! Fortunately, by word of mouth, we found pastries by design early in our wedding planning. I was looking for someone that could do a fully gluten free cake without it tasting dry, grainy, or like cardboard. My florist recommended them, and after the cake tasting, we were blown away by the flavors and the good consistency of GF cake! We had an outdoor wedding and she was really good about warning us that the buttercream frosting (we did not want fondant at all) could potentially melt or the cake could do funny things, but thankfully none of that happened and the integrity and beauty of the cakes remained the entire night until we ate it.
Sandy is awesome to work with and the cakes were so beautiful. I showed her a couple of photos i wanted her to combine for our main wedding cake (hexagon shaped 3 tirer mint and white with edible gold flecks) and she nailed it. I also looked through a couple of her photos and she came up with some ideas for my husbands grooms cake- UF, football, gold and landscape all came together in a super cool cake that she designed. And the flavors-- for the big cake we had carrot with chocolate ganache, dulce de leche, and lemon with lemon curd. For the grooms cake we had death by chocolate-- holy cow!! SO good!! We had so many compliments on how good the cake was..... my husband now sometimes purposely swings by that are of LWR to pick up a cupcake or two. :)
Thanks Sandi for an amazing experience with your company and for the delicious memories! -

Kimberly Sent on 03/01/2013Lyndsy is fantastic!!!!! My cake was everything that I envisioned and more. Lyndsy is very responsive and professional. My cake was not only beautiful it was delicious!! I had originally planned to do a fresh flower topper with my florist but my florist situation became a train wreck right before my eyes. I called Lyndsy to let her know that it was less than 24 hrs before my wedding and I still didnt have a cake topper. I owe it to Lyndsy for creating my cake topper the DAY BEFORE the wedding and it looked better than the florist probably couldve done! After other things in my wedding messed up, even my husband even said "Well atleast the cake went exactly as planned". I mean if a guy takes notice to the cake, then you know you have a good vendor! If you want the wedding cake of your dreams, Pastries by Design is where you need to go! THANK YOU!!! -

Tory Sent on 12/29/2012Best tasting cakes in the Bradenton/Sarasota area! Lyndsy and her team are so awesome and accomodating! When we went for our cake tasting Lyndsy asked our vision for our cake and we just described to her what we liked and she sat there and drew us a picture, and this is while we are tasting these amazing cakes and frostings that she has to offer! She does this all before you even sign a contract with them! They answer any questions you have, you can even bring a picture of your wedding dress and she can incorporate the design into your cake! What I also liked about them was that they do not like to overbook how many wedding cakes they do in a weekend so that they can make sure everything is perfect for each cake! -

Emily Sent on 08/29/2012Our cake was amazing!! Lyndsy was so helpful with us on ordering our cake. We were a destination wedding, so I didn't get to meet in person for a cake tasting. She was quick with communication and extremely affordable! Other bakeries in the area wanted a lot more for a lot less. Others were even rude when I told them what Pastries by Design was quoting me for the cost of the cake. We sent her a picture of what we were looking for, and our cake looked EXACTLY how we wanted. And it was delicious! Everyone at our reception said it was by far the best cake they have ever had. That even included my sister-in-law who just got married herself not too long ago! :) -

Carrie Sent on 06/22/2012We ordered our cake from Lyndsy and Co. for our June Wedding in Longboat Key. We requested a Key Lime Cheesecake- our favorite -even after other bakers had told us that there was NO WAY. I sent her a picture of my flowers and a few cakes that caught my eye. I could not believe what was sitting on the table at the reception. It seriously took my breath away! Sounds silly, but seriously, it was fabulous! And then... we cut the cake. Oh, dear Lord. It was in fact the best Key Lime Cheescake that we, or our guests had ever had! Our guests are still talking about that bad boy! The cheesecake was 3 layers tall, with a fabulous fondant icing-it was perfect, not hard or chewy like others I have had. And then she covered it with hundreds of little pearls, and the most beautiful sugar orchids, roses and calla lillies; they had a little shimmer which was FABULOUS. We can't thank you enough Lyndsy and Co.! For the record, We tried to call a few times to thank you personally. I sure hope you see this- YOU ALL TOTALLY ROCK! I wish I could upload a picture. -C and R... -

Amanda Sent on 03/11/2012Lyndsy did a wonderful job with our wedding cake! She helped me refine the design I wanted for my wedding cake and I loved the different flavor options she offered. We chose the Tropical Delight and Florida Key Lime Cake. They were so yummy everyone loved it, except for our top tier we are saving I dont think there was any cake left! I also asked Lyndsy for a grooms cake which she did an awesome job of as well. My husband loves his Harley so I gave her a picture of his favorite helmet and she recreated it in cake form! Awesome job! -
