So good our wedding guests didn't know it was gluten-free!

We ordered our wedding cake through The Happy Tart bakery, and it was absolutely stunning! It looked gorgeous, well beyond our hopes and dreams. And it was delicious, too! Our guests couldn't tell that it was gluten-free; many of them said it was the best wedding cake they'd ever had. There wasn't a single piece left at the end of the night! If you're looking for a beautiful, delicious gluten-free wedding cake, work with The Happy Tart -- we cannot recommend them highly enough!

Beautiful and delicious! You would never know it is gluten-free!

The cake was absolutely delicious. No one would have realized it was gluten-free. It was decorated with beautiful edible flowers. The delivery was perfect. I really appreciated the tasting we scheduled in advance, but that did make it difficult to narrow down the choices because we loved every single option! In the end, we chose different flavors for the layers: raspberry almond and lemon. They added the monogram we sent. I am so happy with the entire experience working with this vender as well as the end result. So many "Wow, this cake is amazing!" comments from guests.

Gluten Free Goodies!

We were so pleased with the desserts and cake we got from The Happy Tart! My mother-in-law is completely gluten intolerant and several other members of my husbands family are gluten sensitive so gluten free desserts were a must! I also don't like cake, so one large cake was not going to do. Instead we had one small cake in my husband's favorite flavors that functioned as our wedding cake but was really his cake and then the folks at the Happy Tart were able to make fruit tarts and mousse shots for the rest of the guests. I love fruit tarts and the ones they made were amazing! It was exactly what I wanted in desserts for my wedding, for the budget I had and COMPLETLY GLUTEN FREE. My guests raved about the desserts. Except for our immediately family, no one knew everything was gluten free and when I told some people that later they were astonished! Emma was amazing to work with, there was a small snafu in the scheduling and she was working on multiple weddings the same day as mine and she still made it work. I highly recommend The Happy Tart for a sweet gluten free dessert for your celebration!
