Sweet Confections went above and beyond with our wedding cake. We had a great experience working with them from the initial cake tasting to our wedding day. They were flexible and understanding when we had to postpone our wedding date. They were also very accommodating when we wanted to add a mountain texture to two of our cake layers. We were blown away by how well the cake design was executed. The cake was so delicious that all of our guests kept on raving about it throughout the night. We went with chocolate cake w/ cookies and cream buttercream and vanilla w/ strawberry champagne buttercream which were equally as delicious. From when the cake arrived to when it was served, it remained moist and soft. I definitely recommend Sweet Confections if you want a beautiful cake with a variety of flavor options!

I used Sweet Confections cakes for my traditional Nigerian wedding and church wedding on 8/20/21 and 8/21/21. From going into their store to make inquiries, to the cake tasting, to making payments, and delivery, I would 100% recommend using this business especially for specialty cakes! For my traditional wedding I wanted a very specific design with beads and a Bible, and they got every detail perfect, I attached a picture. As I told Darmayne she was the easiest wedding vendor I had. My cakes were there on time, both days, looking perfect! THE CAKES TASTED SO GOOD TOO! Thank you so much for giving me the cake of my dreams, every detail was perfect. I look forward to working with you in the future!

So, the cake tasted great. The product I received was not the issue. My problem was with how it was delivered. As we discussed with Sweet Confections during our consultation, (and again over email) our cake was very simple with live flowers cascading down the side. Sweet Confections does not arrange flowers on cakes no problem. We coordinated with our florist who said he could arrange the flowers if the cake as long as the cake was delivered to the venue at 2:00 (ceremony started at 4:30). 2:00 comes around and no cake. I am getting my bridal hair and make up done, and needed to stop to call Sweet Confections. No answer. I called six times between 2:00 and 3:00 and left a voicemail. I didn 't get a handful of before ceremony pictures done because I was dealing with trying to figure out the cake. My florist was amazing and ran out to buy us other cakes from the store to decorate so we have something. Finally, Sweet Confections drops off the cake after 3:30. I didn 't speak with them, but my husband said they were unapologetic and said that we should have called them (even tho we tried six times). They were held up at a previous event which is out of their control, but they had all of my contact info. They could have called and said they were running late and we could have figured it out. But they just didn 't even try. My florist was still there and was able to decorate the wedding cake delivered by Sweet Confections. The end product looked and tasted great, but that much added stress hours before the wedding and a $185 invoice from my florist for staying an extra hour and a half and to reimburse them for the back up cakes was so not worth it (happy to pay my florist for the time and the cake, but the issue could have been avoided with better communication from Sweet Confections). Sweet Confections never even reached out afterwards or responded to the voicemail I left basically in tears an hour and a half before my ceremony. If you are using live flowers on your cake or need it there more than an hour before the ceremony, look somewhere else.

Sweet Confections is simply the best!! Darmayne and her entire staff are wonderful people and easy to communicate with. We were looking for a very special wedding cake and she delivered! Darmayne took the time to explain everything during our cake testing and gave us a lot of peace of mind! The cake was both unique and delicious and all of our wedding guests were raving about it! She also either hand delivers it herself on the day of the wedding or has an immediate family member do it. This is a very personal touch, as we found out many places do not do this. Great local, family run business! We highly recommend and will order from here many times for future events!!
