Leigh did a fantastic job! I currently live out of state, so she was very accommodating when booking a cake tasting while I was in town. Her attention to detail is incredible, her cake flavors are delicious, and our wedding cake tasted and looked exactly as we wanted! The cake was so tasty that most of our guests had seconds. I highly recommend booking Leigh (A Sweet Life) as your cake baker for any event!

Leigh did such an amazing job on our wedding cake, I was blown away when I saw it. The decorating was better than I expected and I told her my idea for the Marvel reveal and she ran with it and made it her own. Everyone loved the flavors of the cake and she was so sweet and so professional during the planning. She was also very knowledgeable and insightful when we were trying to decide on our style of cake!

This is by far the best cake I have ever ordered, not only in appearance but in taste too. Leigh took an inspiration picture I sent her for my son's birthday and made it her own. And it tasted soooooo good! I even ate the fondant which I usually hate! Leigh is an amazing baker and so nice! She exceeded all of my expectations.

Leigh was amazing to work with. She created a beautiful and delicious cake for our daughter's Sweet 16 birthday. She listened to some of my ideas/requests and incorporated her artistic touch. The cake made the party very special as the centerpiece of the table. Leigh definitely exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend A Sweet Life for your special event!

We have known Leigh for many years and had her great cakes for graduations and weddings, but never a 60th Birthday party. She hit this one out of the park! One of my joys in life is my 1940 Ford Pickup, I have wanted since I was 13. Leigh made a cake of my truck, complete with headlights and an audio track of the engine running! It was nothing short of amazing! None of the 30 guests at my party had ever seen anything like it! If I could give Leigh 100 STARS, I would! Thanks Leigh! read more

I forgot the name of the Naldo I said hello is this a bakery and she never responded... I waited about 10 seconds for her to respond and she ghosted me....

My aunt recommended Leigh when I started looking for a baker for our wedding cake. She gets all of her birthday cakes from Leigh and was raving about her espresso chocolate cake. I emailed Leigh and she was very fast to respond and wanted to meet us right away for a cake tasting. Our cake tasting was AMAZING. Leigh made our cake tasting super accommodating and took out a lot of time out of her day to talk to us. We tried 3-4 different cakes with 3 different frosting options and then talked about what we wanted our cake to look like. We ended up choosing two different cakes (Leigh's cakes are 5 layers high with 3 fillings): 1. Greek yogurt cake with 2 layers of raspberry filling and 1 layer of pistachio filling in between the cake layers. 2. Espresso chocolate cake with 2 layers of chocolate ganache filling and 1 layer of pistachio filling in between the cake layers. At our cake tasting, we talked about what we would like our cake to look like and I was panicking in the inside because I actually hadn't thought hard about that. I then went home and emailed Leigh 3-4 times changing the cake and every single time she said yes. I even added a groom's cake. In the end, I sketched out a picture of our cakes and I was super surprised of how well it came out. Our cakes was a hit at our wedding! So many people were taking pictures of the groom's cake and wedding cake. Leigh made the cake come to life and it looked better than I could ever imagine. Her work on the hand-carved flowers is amazing and her watercolor flowers on the cake was even more incredible. My husband and I thought the flowers on the cake were real and that our florist may have slipped some flowers to Leigh. I am so happy that Leigh made our cakes. I cannot thank her enough. read more

We had a wonderful experience with Leigh! She was very professional and knowledgeable. We had a great consultation meeting with her where she spent time getting to know us and helping us decide what would work best for our wedding. Her recommendations regarding cake size and flavors were spot on. The cake tasted phenomenal! Creme brulee is my favorite dessert, and her creme brulee filling was what sold it for me. She paid special attention to detail, especially regarding the shape of the cake and the placement of the flowers which was important to me. She was also very responsive, accommodating, and quick to answer questions. Everything was perfect! read more

Specialties

A Sweet Life is a custom cake artisan studio providing unique sweets to our customers. We pride ourselves on delicious scratch recipes and attention to details that make every cake creation as unique as the event. Whether it is the stitching on a cake topper or the flair that we put on our cake boards to tie the whole presentation together...we consider it all as a part of our final product.

History

Established in 2013.

We started out like most small businesses by offering what we loved to do. Our specialties in sugar craft have delighted countless of event and that is when we wanted to grow to provide our services to more customers.

Meet the Business Owner: Leigh G.

Leigh spent over 20 years in Technology mastering how everything had to be exactly what the customer wanted. While this appealed to her scientific nature the outlet for creativity was suffering (and suffering is bad). Then several years ago Leigh found an outlet for her creativity through competitive baking & decorating. Much to her surprise it all came second nature and the obsession began. Today Leigh spends her time designing custom cakes for her clients as well as writing blogs and tutorials so that other artisans can learn from her experience and better their craft for their clients. She continues to find joy in making the centerpiece of the event and always trying to push her craft to the next level.

This ice cream shop was far superior in service than the pie place could ever be. PLUS ITS ICE CREAM! Who doesn't love that more than pies!

There are not enough wonderful words to describe A Sweet Life Bakery. Leigh is amazing to work with. When I went for my tasting for my wedding I had no idea what I was doing. Leigh walked us through everything, she listened to our vision of our cakes for our wedding day and she made them happen. Not only did the cakes look amazing (we got so many compliments on how cute and amazing they looked), but they also tasted amazing!! Most of the time, wedding cakes are dry and tasteless, not Leigh's cakes! The red velvet with salted caramel filling was gone so fast, everyone was raving about how delicious the cakes were. If you are in need of a cake, a Sweet Life is who to go with. read more

From the moment my then fiancé and I sat down with her to discuss the concept for our Wedding and Grooms cake she instantly got who we were and what we had envisioned.

Leigh made three wonderful cakes for Mom's 90th birthday party for 100 friends and staff at her assisted living. The almond cake with raspberry filling was the favorite! The lemon could have had a little more lemon curd and both the chocolate and lemon cakes could have been more moist, but I'm very, very picky. The three cake took center stage for an ice-cream social themed birthday. Leigh was on time, did a quick set-up and brought a lovely bouquet for Mom.

They were SO delicious and Leigh was so helpful in assisting us with the flavors we wanted for our cakes. I definitely recommend this place. read more

We got our wedding cake from Leigh and the entire process was AMAZING. This was the most fun part of wedding planning (and we went to two terrible cake tastings before this). She was so professional, creative, and helpful! Our cake was PERFECT and everyone is talking about how good it was! read more

Omg! A sweet life was hands down the most professional, and provided that extra reassurance of a beautiful cake by sending pictures and providing delivery of the cakes on time, not to mention the fresh, most, delicious cake! Everyone I know will know about Leigh with A Sweet Life. read more

Leigh did a wonderful job preparing the cupcakes and cake for my children. She is my favorite baker and I can't wait to return this year for more. The cake was delicious and moist. I placed them in the refrigerator and they tasted delicious for an entire week. Thank you! read more
