At my friend's wedding, each guest was able to pick one of these small cakes to eat for dessert. There was black forest, strawberry shortcake, tiramisu, and I think French Bavarian. They were so cute and nicely decorated. I chose the black forest, since I love anything chocolate. These cakes were delectable, not too sweet, and pretty moist. I liked having my own individual cake instead of having a sliced one because you also get the right amount of frosting as well.

I just want to share my review so that others don't have this experience. It was my daughters birthday and it has been a tough year. She wanted a two tier cake. Their 8 inch cakes are about $40 and a 6 inch about $35-38. I assumed the simple cake we requested (just red frosting) would t be too difficult or expensive, WRONG. they charged me $150 for a wedding cake. Plus it was sloppy. See pictures of the board it was on, the white frosting slopped on the back, the sloppy details (and there were hardly any details. I could have bought the cakes separately and just put one on top of

Im being nice w/ the one star. Their cakes are overpriced & if you need to cancel an order, refunds are not issued. So disappointing & their cakes aren't that great.

They were so easy to work with and offered excellent customer service over the phone, even if ordering a custom cake with design via phone can be complicated with our specific requests. The price was reasonable, and best of all, the cake was delicious! I'm glad I went with the Swiss Black Forest cake with whipped cream topping. Our guests loved it. Just browse through their photos to see their work. They really can work with anything and nice to deal with.
