An Amazing Cake

Throughout the process, Sweet Life was great. They set up the tasting for us to sample flavors and once we made our choice everything was arranged simply and efficiently. Our wedding was quite far away from Eugene and the delivery fee didn't make sense, but they worked with us to make everything safe for transporting and it worked great.

The cake itself was so good! It was beautiful and tasty and a perfect dessert for our wedding. We would highly recommend them!

Delicious cakes from a local bakery

Sweet Life made us a perfect single tier cake for cutting and provides three half sheet cakes which were delicious and fed all of our guest with cake to spare. The single tier cake was simple and beautiful and all of the cake was excellent and at an excellent price.

Gluten free cutting cake

I love sweet life! They always do a great job with gluten free items and our cutting cake was exactly what I wanted.

Simple, delicious, and worth the price

We got a simple 3-tier wedding cake. We called about 2 weeks before the wedding and they were able to fit us in. I liked how customizable they were. Each tier could be a different flavor and they had many vegan options as well. The cake was simple but that is exactly what we wanted, we added our own fresh flowers to the top. Definitely worth the money.

A Sweet Life Patisserie recently prepared my daughter's wedding cake. Not only was the cake beautifully presented, mostly importantly it was incredibly delicious. Many of our guests raved about the flavors and fillings we choose. We worked closely with Q, who was both professional and courteous. Her attention to detail was most appreciated. Without a doubt, I would recommend this bakery!

I had always dreamed of having a Sweet Life wedding cake after attending the University of Oregon and enjoying countless Sweet Life desserts. Unfortunately, I had my wedding in the Portland Metro area, so it seemed like my dream cake may have been slipping away. I contacted Sweet Life, and fortunately the bakers were able to make some excellent recommendations for my situation. They suggested that we go with short and sweet cakes with sturdy frosting, such as fondant or ganache. We took their advice, and had the florist make cake toppers as decoration rather than having elaborate cake designs. My very kind Aunt, Uncle, and Cousin successfully transported the cakes on their drive up from California and they looked great at the wedding. Everyone raved about the unique flavors, and the portions sizes were generous compared to other bakeries allowing us to take home a few leftovers. Sweet Life made my wedding dream a reality and overall was a great value as well!

Our wedding cakes were amazing! We ordered eight cakes and a pie at least four months in advance. Each cake was a different flavor, and many were gluten-free and dairy-free. Everything was perfect and tasted spectacular! We transported all the cakes (and pie) to Oregon City.
They were very flexible with times when we could pick up the cakes! Presentation was gorgeous! Sweet Life is the best bakery in Oregon! We got large sheet cakes to accommodate the number of people were were having (around 150+), and it was VERY AFFORDABLE.

The cake turned out beautifully. Q helped us pick the right size and suggested various design ideas. She then gave us time to make decisions and helped me by sketching my ecclectic ideas and turning it into a beautiful cake! Besides the looks it was delicious!!

Our cake was AHHHHHHHHHmazing! We also purchased a few dozen of their brownies (a mixture of flavors) as our wedding favors for the guests. Lets put it this way... if my mother in law hadn't stashed a few brownies for us we would not have gotten to enjoy them! They were a huge hit that I still hear about to this day! The cake as simple, yet elegant which is exactly what I wanted. They even made an edible coral ribbon to go along with the colors of our wedding. The flavors cannot be explained in words, other than sinful and delicious. This place is an addiction, and I'm so glad we had them do our cake for our special day!

It shouldn't surprise anyone that Sweet Life produces amazing cakes, but they sure do. Our guests absolutely melted over the two flavors we chose. In fact, I think someone ran away with our cake top. We had to order a small cake for ourselves for our one year anniversary...it was that good. :)

The best part is the cake tasting. They go out of their way to make that a fun experience. But it's a hard one...all the choices are fantastic.

It was so much fun to work with Q and her team to design our wedding cake. We had an outdoor wedding which shaped the event in so many ways including the cake design. She was great about working with our ideas and our personalities to create a cake that fit us, our wedding, and our setting. The tasting process is a bit do-it-yourself which was intimidating at first, but we made it playful and had a great time creating cake and filling combinations to really make the cake our own.

The best desserts I have found near Eugene. They also have amazing coffee and teas. For my birthday, my husband surprised me with a custom cake from sweet life, which he had neglected to order in the suggested time period. They were able and willing to rush an order so that I had an amazing cake for my birthday. Thank you sweet life!

We had several guests with food allergies, and Sweet life was able to make 3 different kinds of cakes, and they all looked the same and tasted the same (I tried all 3 to compare!) None of the guests with gluten intolerance got sick, which was huge!

SO Delicious! If you don't want to over-spend on the "wedding cake" premium, you can order a sample box of cakes for $25, then a regular sheet cake for under $100. Your guests will be blown away with the perfect flavors and textures. We got the chocolate cake with blood orange buttercream. It was out of this world!

Sweet Life makes such amazing cakes. They aren't the typical dry wedding cake...every piece is fresh and delicious! Our cake was so good and our guests loved it. There are lots of choices with flavors and Q perfectly carried out my design.

I already knew that Sweet Life made great pastries but the cheesecakes we had at our wedding were HEAVEN! We ordered three cheesecakes and four dozen cupcakes from them for our wedding and we barely had anything left by the end. It was the perfect combo for low fuss wedding cake and looked great. My mother-in-law loved the lemon sourcream cupcakes we had and she is so hard to please on sweets! I would highly recommend using these guys for any get together or celebration.

We choose sweetlife for our wedding reception and our guests are still talking about how beautiful our cake was...and how delicious! We had several flavors but the most talked about was the chocolate orgasm flavor. We also choose orange flavored cake with orange flavored buttercream. People said that it was the best wedding cake they had ever had..and we would have to agree! We enjoyed every bite! I gave the cake designer an idea of how I wanted the cake designed and let her work her magic. I remember walking in and seeing my cake for the first time..it was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. Sweet life is THE place to go for your wedding cake.

The cake we chose from Sweet Life was FABULOUS. Many of our guests went back to try every flavor of the cake (we had different flavors in each layer) because it was so good. We were able to pick a cake that was personalized for us and that made it even more special.

Wedding cake was absolutely beautiful and tasted even better. Ordered enough to serve 60 and it fed a crowd of 80 with lots left over. Had rave reviews from the guests and many declared that it was the best wedding cake they'd ever eaten. Delivery was spot-on time with with no setup or last-minute touches required. Next time we need a cake for a special event, we're livin' the Sweet Life.

If you want a taste of heaven to be apart of your wedding then look no further than Sweet Life Patisserie. The naturally rich flavors of these delectable deserts makes a fan out of any pallet. And it is also a feast for the eyes as each part of the scrumptious cake is placed perfectly making it truly a work of art. The employees of Sweet Life are ever helpful. Any questions you may have they know the answer. And time is not an issue, if you need it by 6 pm tomorrow, it will be ready by 5! And the cost comparatively is enough to make your wallet sigh with relief! For my future marriage(s) I'm heading to Sweet Life!

PERFECT.

Sweet Life is the perfect wedding cake vendor. They have the most delicious and most beautiful cakes. They start off with a meeting to get some ideas, and they send you home with about 5 cake flavors and 20 fillings/frostings to try. We had a large 3 tiered cake with 2 side sheet cakes, 3 different flavors. Everyone raved about them!

They are very easy to communicate with, they love to make their cakes a work of art. I drew a design for them and they brought it to life on our cake.

We just defrosted and ate our cake top for our 1st anniversary and it was still DELICIOUS after being in the freezer for a year! lol

I can't say anything bad about our experience with them!

Sweet Life Desserts was absolutely wonderful! They serve wonderful wedding cakes and can even make them vegan! Nobody at the wedding would have ever guessed it was a vegan cake -- it was beautiful and literally one of the best wedding cakes I've ever tried! I would highly recommend Sweet Life to any one getting married in Oregon. They were friendly and super easy to work with and really try to give you exactly what you want. They also have an amazing variety of cakes, cupcakes and desserts to chose from.

We absolutely loved the wedding cake that Sweet Life created for us, and our guests unanimously agreed that it was the most beautiful cake they had ever seen. The inside was absolutely scrumptious, and they even made us an extra top layer to save for our first anniversary. They were very friendly, helpful and accommodating in our wishes, and immeduately understood what we wanted. (And my mother in law loved being invited along to taste the cake and frosting. There was so much to taste, we couldn't finish half of it! Delicious!) These people can make anything, I don't think you could find a better bakery.

(We had our wedding in Italy, then a reception in The Netherlands, and a reception in Oregon, and our awesome Sweet Life Cake was the best and the least expensive by FAR)

First, the cake was delicious. We had a lemon cake base and a ginger spice cake top. There was a lot of icing but you could just peel it off if you didn't want to eat it.
Second, the cake itself was very pretty - and pretty much exactly like we asked.
Third, the cake decorator was very helpful - we met her twice and exchanged some photos. She gave us lots of ideas and helped us develop our initial idea for the cake.
We recommend Sweet Life if you are looking for a cake!

Amazing cakes! Great quality and attention to detail. Sometimes took a day to get back to me on email but it's okay, I wasn't in a super big hurry. A little pricey, but worth it. Everybody loved the cake. It was not only delicious but beautiful.

The cake was delicious and tasted like a cheesecake. Sweet Life has a wonderful variety of flavors and different fillings and icings or frostings as well as cake selection flavors. They don't oversweeten and they use fresh flowers. Many of the flowers they decorate the cakes with are edible! My top choice for any event, especially weddings, though. They also have a great cake decoration selection for more elaborate options.

Oh my gosh Sweet Life cakes are the most amazing cakes. They design the cake exactly how you want and the taste is out of this world. Our wedding cake was so beautiful, I love our wedding pictures of the cake cause I stare at that picture and say, "Wow, our cake was so beautiful!" Things happen so fast on your wedding day that many don't get to appreciate their cake. We have pictures, memories and we set some aside to freeze. They showed up a little late due to the fact that the driver got lost. The value is spendy it was $6.00 a slice but OMG the taste and design is out of this world!

The cake we ordered was fabulous. All three layers tasted amazing. My only issue was when it came to how it should be decorated, I picked a cake out of their own album. It had circles of fondant all over. I later called and asked if I could have hearts instead of circles because there were hearts themed throughout the wedding- Invites, I personally made candy heart mints, decorations, dishes etc. They said no problem. When I received the contract, they had made a note of the change. I had a friend drive it 180 miles to my wedding. The cake looked great, but they didn't make the change. I still had circle fondnt instead of hearts. I was not a bridezilla, but if I were, this could have been very upsetting. I love Sweet Life Patisserie and I still order a 6" round of the top layer any time I am in the area.

We ordered a 12" round gluten free naked cake for cutting at our reception. I am gluten free and my husband doesn't always like the gluten free options, however this cake was INCREDIBLE!! I only had a few bites the night of, however we definitely devoured it the next day. All of our guests who were "adventurous" enough to try the gluten free option raved about how delicious it was! Thank you for helping make them believers!!

We have always loved the desserts and treats in the bakery, and now I can say that the cake was a huge hit!!

My cake was beautiful and the guests told me it was the best cake they had ever tasted. When it was delivered at the venue though, they set it up and left without telling anyone and when I came down to look at it, it was missing half the detail we had discussed. I called right away and she came back and finished. I was a bit panicked, but it all worked out and was very beautiful in the end.

We just moved to Eugene last year from New Mexico and started planning our wedding several months after we arrived, not an easy thing to do when you're new to an area. One of the first things we heard from friends and locals was that we HAD to go to Sweet Life Patisserie because they have the best deserts. Everyone was right! Our experience at Sweet Life was a bit mixed at first. I initially asked someone in the store about booking them for our wedding cake. The clerk gave us a brochure and told us to contact someone at Bliss next door because they handle the wedding cakes. I called a gal there who told me they were booked for that weekend and just about every weekend of the entire summer. I was disappointed and started searching around for another cake vendor.

Several months later, we still hadn't found anyone we liked. I called Sweet Life again and asked if we could just order a 3-tier cake with layers in the flavor of our choice with white frosting and a few calla lilies. They quoted me a price that was about $200 cheaper than the same cake would've been if I'd ordered it through Bliss as a wedding cake with the consultation appt, tasting, etc. I was excited that we could get a Sweet Life cake after all, but wasn't pleased that they hadn't offered that information on the multiple occasions I've previously spoken with them to try to figure out how to go about ordering a wedding cake.

Overall, I would recommend Sweet Life, but I'd recommend that you order a wedding cake without the consultation through Bliss. The gals there are professional and from the cakes they advertise, are artists in their field. However, for anyone on a budget, the cakes are spendy and the tasting/consultation isn't necessary. We took a photo to Sweet Life of a cake we liked that we saw online and they re-created it almost exactly but for a fraction of the price. We also chose 4 flavors for our 3-tier cake and the extra sheet cake (at least 100 servings), and although we'd only tried 2 of the 4 flavors, all 4 were fantastic. Our guests raved about the cake, which was awesome because wedding cakes are notoriously gorgeous but something that has to be choked down with inch thick goopy frosting and plain cake. The slices were larger than most bakers allow for wedding cakes also. My fiance ordered the cake 48 hours before our wedding, so we didn't need months of notice and a contract. The cake was ready as promised. A friend picked up our cake, which was pretty big, and drove it 2 1/2 hours from Eugene down the Oregon coast. It arrived in perfect condition without requiring a caterer/baker to come and set it up. We have no regrets about choosing Sweet Life and I'm already planning on ordering another specialty carrot cake for my husband's birthday.

I had an overall good experience with Sweet Life. They produced exactly what we wanted and all our guests seemed to enjoy the cake we served. The cake got there on time and was ready when we were. Although it was mostly a good experience, there were a few things that were a little disappointing. Maybe it was a bad day, but when we met with Jen she was just so unenthusiastic and cold it kind of took the fun out of it. I wasn't expecting a parade or anything, but it was like we were a really low point in her day. Like I said, maybe we caught her at a bad time, but in the professional world you don't get to take that out on people that you want to pay you for a service. My only other qualm would be that there is no warning for how much icing they layer on those cakes! The little example slice they showed us at the tasting meeting had MAYBE a half inch of icing outside, but there were easily two inches of the stuff on our cake. Sure you can scrape it off (everyone did), but we paid for a cake you could eat.

We had tried many different places to make our wedding cake, and had actually picked one since Sweet Life was completely booked up the day of our wedding. Then I got a call that a spot opened up, and we were so excited. The cake was beyond AMAZING! By far the best wedding cake I had ever tasted, and the guests were so impressed taht they kept going back for more. They listened to my wants and needs and met every single one of them. I would reccomend them a million times over!

Our wedding guests were served from a beautiful desert buffet featuring brownies, homemade pies and cakes, cookies, tarts, etc., and my husband and I shared our very own beautiful 6" cake from Sweet Life. The R-Rated "Chocolate Orgasm" cake is simply delicious -- orange-scented chocolate cake with dark chocolate mousse and Bavarian cream topped with scrumptious blood orange/white chocolate buttercream and filled with ganache. The small cake size is a terrific value for gourmet on a budget: $15.00 total!

Our wedding cake was amazing! It was beautiful & tasted so good! We got rave reviews on the cake from all of our guests. We had a tasting before hand with so many different flavors & combinations. The cake looked exactly how I described & was exactly what I asked for.

Major pro: DELICIOUS cakes if you buy it from their store. Major con: NOT a classical cake tasting for a bride-to-be. I walked out SO disappointed, and feeling like I hadn't had the right experience! Instead of actually trying the cakes put together in a variety of flavors, they gave us the base ingredients (e.g., plain chocolate cake, plain vanilla cake, chocolate ganache in a container, blueberry compote in a container, etc.) and then wanted us to combine them ourselves at home. This does NOT result in what the cake would actually taste like when professionally done. So my advice - if you have been to their store regularly and have tried things out by buying slices there, go for it if you know what you want. BUT don't plan on the cake tasting helping you whatsoever. We had even told them flavors we wanted to try in advance, and they still didn't deliver at our tasting. Ultimately, this led to us not choosing them for our wedding day, as all the other tastings we attended were much more wedding-like and actually had real cake slices for us to taste test - a more professional atmosphere that actually delivered what we were seeking. Thus though I love Sweet Life's cake generally, I wouldn't recommend them if you want a true wedding cake tasting experience.
