Beautiful and tasty

The team at Fancy Cakes did an amazing job with our wedding cake. They do great tasting boxes to give you a good idea of what they can do. From there I worked with their designer to figure out the details, mostly over email. Our cake turned out exactly as we'd hoped - and they even placed our flowers on there. I would highly recommend working with Fancy Cakes!

Amazing for food allergies!

I myself am an avid baker, so obviously the cake was a very important detail to me. I wanted a cake that was both beautiful and delicious, and to make things more complicated, my husband has a severe dairy allergy and so we needed to find a baker who could make an amazing dairy free cake. Anyone with severe food allergies knows how stressful it can be trusting someone to make food that is safe. We were so lucky to find Fancy Cakes by Leslie - they were not only able to make an incredibly beautiful and delicious cake, but they were also incredibly attentive to the dairy allergy and made an equally delicious dairy free tier!

Besides the wedding cake itself being amazing, they truly went above and beyond on our tasting. We received 7 six-inch dairy free cakes for our at home tasting and an assortment of dairy free treats. It was truly over the top and we ate only cake for like three days straight.

Communication with Fancy Cakes by Leslie was a breeze - I was truly obsessive confirming details for the cake and they were happy to go through our order several times to placate me. Cannot recommend them enough!

Leslie is always a pleasure to work with!

Leslie's work is unrivaled. Her company had made cakes for us over the past decade. She is creative and her designs are stunning. Despite her national popularity she remains humble and her price point for her products is more than reasonable. We love her and will continue to use her for future events.
