    Delicious wedding cake and cupcakes

    Lesly created a delicious cutting cake and a variety of yummy cupcake flavors for our wedding. Our wedding guests loved the cupcakes and we received many compliments. In addition, our wedding cake and cupcakes were beautifully piped and tastefully decorated. Lesly was very communicative and great to work with. We definitely recommend The Sugary for any celebratory treats!

    The Sugary's reply:

    Congratulations Alison & Mike. Thank you for the lovely review and sharing some photos from your wedding day. We love that your guests enjoyed all the cupcake flavors, it was great working with you!!

    Beautiful and delicious!

    My partner and I loved doing the cake and frosting samples. Lesly was great to work with and her cake was perfect. We went with Banana cake with coffee frosting for our brunch wedding and it was perfect. It was delivered to the venue and florals were added- one less thing for me to worry about on our wedding day.

    The Sugary's reply:

    Congratulations Theodora & Jonathan! Your brunch wedding cake flavors were so delicious: banana, caramel & coffee!!! The addition of the colorful florals complimented the coffee buttercream so beautifully. Thank so much for the review!

    The perfect wedding cake that was both beautiful and delicious!

    We loved our wedding cake from The Sugary! The owner Lesly was amazing to work with, the cake looked perfect on our big day, and it was absolutely delicious! We knew we wanted a small, simple wedding cake for our modern, minimalist wedding in the city, and we wanted it to taste as good as it looked. Once we inquired with The Sugary and we did our tasting, we knew right away that we wanted them to make our cake. All of the flavors we tried were wonderful and it was hard to narrow down our favorites and make our final decision. The cake was such a hit for our wedding and we would highly recommend using The Sugary!

    The Sugary's reply:

    Congratulations Jamie & Zak! Thank you so much for this review. It's always so wonderful to hear that the experience you had with us was a positive one. The cake turned out great, the addition of the photos on top were perfect.

    Everything was perfect

    The Sugary for our wedding cake was perfect. Our cake tasting was an amazing experience and actually yummy flavors - we chose the funfetti and chocolate fudge. The cake was beautiful and exactly what I wanted, the detail of the icing and message on the top is exactly what we wanted. Thank you sooo much!

    The Sugary's reply:

    Congratulations Grace & Jacob!

    Happy to hear that you enjoyed the tasting experience. The cake design was so pretty with the custom monogram on the top, very elegant. Thank you for taking the time to write a review.

    Delicious Cake and a Wonderful Baker

    Lesly was incredible in making the cake for my wife and my wedding. From the patience and collaboration when picking out the cake, to the uniquely delicious flavors and a gorgeous presentation - we couldn't be more thankful. We'll certainly be coming back for more deserts in the near future!

    Perfect Wedding Cake!

    Lesly was wonderful to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. She was always very responsive by email. We went with a 3 layer cake with 2 flavor combinations: almond pound cake with key lime butter cream and a chocolate cake with milk chocolate buttercream. The cake looked beautiful and tasted delicious! We were very happy that we worked with The Sugary for our wedding!

    The Sugary's reply:

    Congrats Alex and Drew! We loved creating this color and whimsical summertime wedding cake. It was a pleasure getting to work with you, thank you for such a lovely review.

    Beautiful Cake

    We are so glad we worked with The Sugary for our wedding cake! Lesly was very responsive and helpful with everything we needed. The cake was beautiful and yummy and we were so happy with it!

    Small Queer Wedding

    I used the Sugary in the past for my (now) husband's celebrations. Lesly is very easy to work with, and knows flavor combinations and profiles. Lesly provided clear instructions for us to provide to our reception venue, and delivered the cake herself! Communication was easy and consistent.

    The Sugary's reply:

    Congrats Phillip & Sean,
    Thank you for such a great review, it was a pleasure getting to work with you both! I loved creating such a colorful and bold cake for your wedding celebration! Hopefully we can work together on another event in the future!

    Delicious and beautiful cake

    We absolutely loved working with Lesly/The Sugary! We had our wedding on 10/30/22 and wanted a Nightmare Before Christmas themed cake and Lesly worked with us to create an elegant design that was feasible with buttercream frosting. The cake was absolutely delicious and by far the best tasting and most moist out of the places we did tastings. We went with two flavors the chocolate cake with mocha filling and the pumpkin cake with chocolate fudge filling. Best of all we have the top tier left over to eat later :)

    The Sugary's reply:

    Congratulations Geoff and Jeanette!!! It was such a pleasure to design your Nightmare Before Christmas cake. So happy to hear that you were thrilled with the overall design and taste of the cake. It was so lovely getting to work with you both!!

    Highly recommend Lesly!

    I would definitely recommend Lesly/ The Sugary. Working with Lesly for our wedding cake and desserts was a seamless and stress free process. She was quick to respond to our emails and flexible with any changes we made to our cake/dessert order. Our wedding cake was exactly how we envisioned it! Also, our guests loved the desserts so much our caterer said they could not replenish the dessert table fast enough!!

    The Sugary's reply:

    Congratulations Michelle & Kevin!!! So happy to hear that the wedding cake process was a stress free one. Thrilled to hear that your guests enjoyed all the mini desserts. It was a pleasure getting to work with you, thank you so much for this thoughtful review.

    Beautiful Execution

    Lesly did an incredible job, and she was so helpful during the process leading up to the wedding. The cake was DELICIOUS and turned out so stunning. I'm so excited to connect with the Sugary again in the future for more events!

    The Sugary's reply:

    Congrats Chloe & Eugene!!! Thank you for taking the time to write this great review. I loved creating your pressed flower cake, such a beautiful design. Can't wait to work with you on future celebrations.

    Our cake was amazing!

    My husband and I had done multiple cake tastings and were having a difficult time finding a cake that we both liked. Luckily, I stumbled up the Sugary on Instagram. The cake tasting was the perfect experience -- we got to sample everything (not in cupcake form!) and mix and match the buttercream toppings as we pleased. We left knowing that we had found our bakery! Lesly was very responsive to all of my emails and made the whole process seamless. She was also helpful in making suggestions for our cake design. On the day of the wedding, the cake looked beautiful and, even more importantly, it tasted amazing! I would absolutely recommend The Sugary to anyone looking for a cake in the Philadelphia area!

    The Sugary's reply:

    Congratulations Lindsay & Thomas!!!
    It was such a pleasure getting to work with you both. So happy to hear that you and your guests enjoyed the wedding cake. Thank you so much for the review and recommendation!!

    Delicious cake and great experience overall

    It was a pleasure working with Lesly from start to finish. Throughout the whole process, Lesly was communicative, prompt, and professional. We went with a 4-tiered lemon cake with strawberry frosting because we loved the lightness and airy-ness of the cake. The sweetness of the cake was perfect for us (not too sweet!). All of our guests raved about the cake and inquired about the bakery. This cake was one of the more affordable in the Philadelphia area as well--what a great value! The cake was delivered to our wedding venue with no issues. Overall, we had an amazing experience and would definitely recommend!

    The Sugary's reply:

    Congratulations Elaine & Norman!!
    So happy to hear that your guests enjoyed the strawberry lemon cake, such a great choice for a summer wedding. The florals and Disney cake toppers were the perfect addition to the textured buttercream design. Thank you for the wonderful review.

    Delicious and beautiful wedding cake

    We were so happy with our wedding cake which was exactly what we wanted - a lemon blueberry spring cake. It was beautifully designed and the cake tasted as good as it looked. Guests are still contacting us after the wedding to comment it was the one of the best cakes they have tasted. Many people at the wedding commented they had multiple pieces because of how delicious it was. We will definitely be getting all our cakes for future functions here! We could not have been happier!

    The Sugary's reply:

    Thanks so much for taking the time to write such a great review. So happy to hear that you and your guests enjoyed the lemon blueberry cake, such a great flavor combination for a spring wedding. We would love to work with you again on future events. Congratulations Maggie and Kevin!!!

    Incredible Value

    We used The Sugary for our Wedding cake in August and we were astonished at the level of artistry Lesly put into our wedding cake. Not only was the cake delicious, but it was one of the most beautiful cakes I had ever seen, it looked like it was straight out of a magazine. The value for what you get far surpasses other wedding cake vendors in the area. Would highly recommend using The Sugary if you're in the market for an event cake.

    The Sugary's reply:

    Thanks so much for this great review!!! So happy to hear that you enjoyed the look and taste of the cake. The florals and fresh fruit were the perfect addition to the semi naked design.

    Beyond delicious and beautiful !

    Lesly was a dream to work with! Our cake was not only beautiful to look at and EXACTLY what we wanted but it was also beyond delicious. Everyone was raving about it all night! It was so good that the top tier that my husband and I saved to eat on our one year anniversary we ended up eating the next day and the next day until it was gone because we couldn’t help ourselves.

    Amazing Cake Vendor!

    Leslie was an absolute joy to work with. From the beginning to the end, she was always incredibly professional, polished and pleasant to work with. The cake tasting blew my husband and I away and we could not be more thrilled with her cakes. Every guest raved about how delicious it was (it truly was). The cake was so important to me, and she did a gorgeous job of creating my dream cake and beautifully placing the flowers on the cake. I seriously could not have dreamt a more perfect cake for the day. I cannot recommend her enough!

    The Sugary's reply:

    Congratulations Hannah & Alex!!! Thanks so much for such a thoughtful review. It was wonderful getting to work with you and creating your wedding cake and groom's cake. The florals I had to work with were so beautiful, thank you for the recommendation.

    Wedding Cake

    The Sugary did such an amazing job on our wedding cake! We got so many compliments on how tasty and beautiful it was! Lesly was so helpful with helping me determine the size of the cake based on our guest count as well as with any other questions I had. We were also planning our wedding during the pandemic, and they were super accommodating by offering an at home tasting during the thick of it. Lesly was always professional, polite, and an overall pleasure to work with! I will definitely continue to use The Sugary for all of our special events in future!

    Hi Danielle,

    Lesly did a lovely job creating our wedding cake! The take-home cake tasting she put together for us was curated with handwritten notes, and the cakes and buttercreams were delightful and delicious. Lesly was a pleasure to work with, and she made us an elegant and delicious wedding cake that everyone enjoyed. Would hands down recommend Lesly and The Sugary!

    I found my forever baker!

    Lesly, at The Sugary Philly, has been an absolute pleasure to work with! My husband and I only had 2 short months to plan a wedding and Lesly was very accommodating and punctual right from the beginning. As we were unable to go to her shop for tastings due to Covid, she provided us with a ‘to-go’ box where we could pick our own cake sponge and buttercream flavor pairings. If you’re confused as I was with what to pick, no worries! Lesly has you covered. I imagined the tasting size to be very small slices of cake but to my surprise they were full size cupcakes! As a cake lover, I was over the moon! The cake sponges were light and fluffy, and the buttercream had just the right amount of sweetness – not too sweet that it hits you in the mouth, but not bland either, it was just right. It tasted very fresh and not greasy at all. The only difficult part in this entire ordeal was picking the final flavor for our wedding cake. Everything was so delicious it honestly was very tough to pick just one pairing but, we were able to find solace in the fact that we really couldn’t go wrong no matter which choice we made. In the end, we went for Chocolate cake with Coffee Buttercream *insert chef's kiss emoji*

    Once we made our decision, Lesly was very helpful in chalking out gorgeous ideas to design our cake as well. The photos speak for themselves. Fast forward to our wedding day – Lesly showed up early, as she had mentioned, and set everything up for us beautifully. The cake was stunning and tasted even better! The cake sponge was not dry at all even though it sat out for a few hours. There were also generous portions of buttercream layered in between, which in my opinion made the cake even more delightful. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.

    All-in-all the process was very quick and straight to the point. She is excellent at communicating and we never had to worry about whether she would come through. Everyone who plans a wedding knows how stressful it can be so finding The Sugary truly was a blessing. If you’re in the area, do not hesitate to contact The Sugary for all of your cake/cupcake needs!

    The Sugary's reply:

    Hi Anisha,

    Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. So happy to hear that you enjoyed the entire process despite having some challenges due to Covid. The chocolate cake with coffee buttercream is one of my favorites, so thrilled that you and your guests enjoyed it. Looking forward to working on future events with you.

    Wonderful planning, beautiful cake and absolutely delicious!

    We were really happy with Lesly! From the customer service, to the experience at the tasting, to the final results! Wonderful! A beautiful, elegant, and delicious cake that was just what we were looking for. Thank you so much! We scored the leftovers and froze it; we'll be eating on this for weeks! :-) Thank you so much for contributing to a beautiful day!

    Best Cake Ever!!

    My husband and I could not be happier with the cake Lesly made for our wedding!! We didn't want a typical cake, so when we saw she offered a chocolate chip cookie cake we were sold. Our friends and family are still raving about how delicious and unique it was. She also decorated it beautifully with our flowers and it truly matched our vibe. Lesly was so easy to work with, professional, flexible and a true artist. I can't recommend her enough!!
