What an amazing talent Johanna is, and we couldn't have been happier with the results of the cakes she designed for my daughter's wedding. We already knew her cakes were so good, but she still completely exceeded our expectations, with both design and flavor. The cake was moist, delicious, and perfectly balanced--not overly sweet, just right. On the wedding day, it looked absolutely stunning and fit beautifully into the celebration. Our guests kept talking about how delicious it was. Beyond her incredible talent, Johanna was a joy to work with, and made the whole process completely stress-free. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a very special cake. She truly is the best! read more

Just ordered 250 desserts for a large celebration at our church and they were a BIG HIT! Everything tasted and looked amazing, and Johanna the owner is so easy to work with and communicative, I had no stress. Can't recommend enough! read more

Johanna is absolutely the BEST!!! We decided to go with her for our wedding which was in July. She was so kind and patient through the entire process. You can tell that she loves what she does. We sent a few inspirational photos, and she absolutely nailed it!!! It was perfect in every way. It not only looked gorgeous, but it tasted amazing. We also ordered mini pies and cookies. All of it was delicious. We are forever grateful to Johanna. This cake made our wedding. read more

I contacted Johanna about a micro wedding I was having and she was very prompt in responding. We're from Texas and decided to have our wedding in the woods up there so we never got to taste test, so I was a bit nervous planning everything from afar. However, SO worth. She really took the time to look at and discuss what I wanted and what would work and look good, as well as flavors. Day of, I was in glee to see it was EXACTLY the cake I wanted and asked for. No joke, that's the BEST cake I've EVER had in my life. I'm not exaggerating when I say that. Cake if my favorite dessert and even my husband and family who aren't as into cake were raving about it, still are. I got the Mocha espresso cake with salted caramel...and it was so moist and smooth. Not overly sweet like you get sometimes but just perfect. We couldn't get enough. Hands down one of my favorite vendors we had and I'd love to order more from her if I ever got the chance. I'd order every cake for everything, from her if I could. I don't have the photographers pics back yet so these pics won't do it the full justice, I'll update when I get those in. Seriously, hire her. Look and cake were so flawlessly executed, you won't regret it. She's also so amazing to work with. Can't thank her enough! read more

Delicately Sweet Confections - terracotta two tier cake with gold specs 3 SO good and EXACTLY what I wanted - Desserts Near Me

I contacted Johanna about making a two tiered rustic cake for a friend's baby shower. I sent her a few pictures and she assured me that what we wanted was no problem. This past weekend on the day of the shower, I met up with her and she passed off the cake to me. It was wrapped perfectly for easy transport. Initially I was worried about how I would get it in one piece to the shower -- so this really eased my mind. I peered into the top of the box and it looked pretty good, and I was on my way. Upon arrival at the shower, we pulled the cake from the box (without any issues!) and it was absolutely perfect and just what I had asked for. The cake was delicious (white cake and lemon curd) and easily served the 40 people in attendance. We even had some left over. I will happily use Delicately Sweet Confections again when I need a fancy cake or dessert and will refer anyone who is looking for something similar their way. I felt pricing was very fair and her level of communication was great. read more

I was so happy with everything about working with Johanna at Delicately Sweet Confections. She was prompt and polite and listened to exactly what I wanted for my wedding cake and offered different options on how to achieve the look that I wanted. Johanna personally delivered it to my venue and decorated it with flowers. The design turned out even better than I anticipated! And the taste?! WOW!! It was a carrot cake with cream cheese filling and was so delicious that my mother (who hasn't eaten sweets in 3 years) had a big slice! Excellent reviews from all of my guests. The cake was a highlight of my wedding, for sure! read more

Makes such pretty cakes!! The texture was so smooth and light and perfect. And the frosting was creamy. But I'm bummed because we just couldn't taste much of anything. Where did the flavor go? It was bland mostly. Even the frosting was sweet but just tasted plain. They are great to work with so def worth another try. read more

Johanna made cupcakes for my bridal shower, and cupcakes plus a small cutting cake for our wedding. The cupcakes were delicious and also beautiful, and she executed perfectly on the vision we had for our cutting cake (to go with our cake topper). We were also able to purchase Gluten Free cupcakes needed for some of our guests, and they were just as good as the others. Johanna was easy to work with in determining flavors and quantities. We scheduled and participated in a tasting to help us select wedding cake flavors and she offered a good variety to sample, it was a difficult choice. Communications through the ordering and purchasing process were professional and timely, and most importantly we had cupcakes that everyone loved! If you want a high quality, professional cake or pastry for any occasion, I highly recommend Delicately Sweet Confections! read more

Johanna was such a joy to work with! She made our wedding cake and a variety of desserts and we got tons of compliments, especially on the delicious bundt cakes. Johanna's options are plentiful and she is flexible. She requested that I have a decision on what I wanted a month before the wedding, and I literally changed my mind the day it was due and it was no problem for her. Additionally, her set up presentation is lovely. She made for us: our wedding cake (lemon cake with blackberry inner icing and buttercream outer icing), mini blueberry and raspberry bundt cakes, cream puffs, merengue's, and 2 different flavors of macarons which she and my wedding planner, Julia Pavlovski of Wedding Wise Seattle, boxed up all pretty together the night before out big day. The only thing I wish had been different is me being able to have more than one bite of cake and one merengue! But life just isn't always fair for a bride. *sigh* read more

OMG, the cake! Our wedding guests (and us) loved it and wouldn't stop talking about it! I was lucky enough to have a piece saved for my breakfast the next morning. The best breakfast ever. :) Working with Johanna for our wedding was a pleasure. She responds promptly over email and communicates well. Payment was very easy and done online. I follow her Instagram and asked her to recreate a design in our wedding color, which she did beautifully. Her cake designs are really pretty, plus she also makes other smaller desserts in lieu of cake. Our cake and frosting tasting was so fun---we went in thinking we would get chocolate cake, but were blown away by the snickerdoodle cake with cinnamon frosting---you have to get it! We loved it so much that I plan to order it again for a birthday. read more

I had desserts from Delicately Sweet Confections at my wedding (November 2010) in lieu of a traditional cake. Upon consultation and discussion, the owner Johanna, whom I had purchased from at a few Farmer's Markets, helped me choose two flavors of cupcakes to offer my guests- yummy pumpkin and red velvet! Additionally, we decided that a it would be a good idea to have a small cake, we requested a square Hummingbird, to serve as a cupcake pyramid topper for cutting. Regarding the order, whenever there was questions about the details from either our side or hers, Johanna effective communicated. She also worked with my request to supply and/or use specific cupcake decorations and wrappers to match my decor. The cupcakes were full of flavor and had a great texture. Our guests liked the fun dessert. The topper cake was a great addition to the traditional elements of our reception. The cupcake display and cutting cake looked great in our photos and were a wonderful focal point in the reception space. It must be noted that, when the big weekend arrived, a snowed in Seattle did not stop my cupcakes from arriving on time for setup by Delicately Sweet employees and my venue's workers. Recommended! read more

We decided we wanted to have a dessert buffet and a small wedding cake for the bridal party instead of trying to get a large cake to feed everyone. Boy did Delicately Sweet Confections deliver! Johanna made a suite of desserts that were all color coordinated with our wedding colors (she even did a blue gradient on our macaroons). Not only were they beautiful, but they were also delicious too. I couldn't be happier with how everything came out. The only regret I have was not ordering more desserts. read more

I always have custom cakes made for my daughters' birthdays, and out of all the cakes I've ordered through the years, Johanna's cakes stand out to be the most delicious and gorgeous. Her cakes are truly works of art: the craftsmanship, creativity, care, and attention to detail that she puts into every single cake she makes is exceptional! She never misses the mark when it comes to making beautiful cakes. I've even had one of my daughter's friends run up to the cake to exclaim, "This is the most beautiful cake I've ever seen!" But most importantly, her cakes are equally - if not moreso - exceptional on the inside! The flavors are spot on. The kids love how tasty it is and the adults even want seconds (instead of avoiding the sugar!) because the sweetness and decadence are just right. Her cakes truly bring joy to those who see it and eat it. :-) And the icing on the cake (pun intended!)? Out of all the cake designers/bakers I've worked with over the years, Johanna has proven to be the most accommodating, professional, and responsive. I had a rescheduling issue for one of my parties and Johanna worked with me seamlessly despite the adjustments, which reduced my stress. It's great to have someone on your side when you're planning an event who sincerely cares and sees things beyond an event supplier. And I'm thankful that Johanna was that person to us. So grateful to have found Delicately Sweet Confections! I will definitely trust Johanna for my custom cakes in the years to come! read more

Johanna was awesome to work with for our elopement mini-wedding. We hired to Johanna to make a small wedding cake and a dozen cupcakes for our wedding. She was incredibly responsive, detail oriented, and also patient in answering my questions about our cake. I consider myself an accomplished baker, and was incredibly impressed at her flavors, cake consistency, and final product! We first got a tasting box, just to see what we liked. We ended up getting browned butter cream cheese frosting, vanilla cake, with raspberry curd filling. We also threw in a dozen cupcakes, (half snickerdoodle flavored)--and had it delivered so we didn't need to worry about anything. Her delivery was exactly on time, and everyone our tiny wedding complimented the cake and wanted to know where it was from! Thank you, Johanna! Highly recommend Johanna because of her responsiveness, attention to detail, and expertise. She literally thought of everything so we didn't have to. read more

We loved working with Johanna, and we loved the cakes she made for our wedding. We found her beautiful cakes on Instagram, and read through the yelp reviews. From that, we thought her cakes would really fit our palate, and we scheduled a tasting. Aside from the cakes being delicious, she also showed such passion and love for what she does. She is also incredibly responsive and organized. She was exactly the type of vendor we wanted to hire. We placed the order months in advance and didn't have to worry about a single thing. The cakes arrived on time. The restaurant had a guide on how to cut it. We asked her to design the cakes to match our invitations, and it was perfect and beautiful! We ordered the hummingbird cake with vanilla buttercream, the lemon cake with strawberry buttercream, and a chocolate espresso cake. I really love the buttercreams. It was delicious and not heavy. read more

My now husband & I tasted wedding cake options at several different locations before meeting Johanna at Delicately Sweet Confections. While the other cake, filling, & frosting options were good, we hadn't found anything that knocked our socks off. Our cake tasting ended the moment we had our 1st bite of Johanna's almond cake with vanilla buttercream. It was a dream come true on a fork. Every subsequent cake & buttercream combination was just as good as the first. And the sampling of coconut macaroons & ginger molasses cookies were just as fantastic. We received so many compliments at our wedding about the cake & dessert selections. One person said that jaws dropped when they took a bit of the almond cake with raspberry curd and almond buttercream slice of heaven. We've bought several treats from Johanna since our wedding & we look for any opportunity to purchase additional treats from Johanna to share with our family & friends. read more

Johanna was the perfect person to bake our wedding cake! She was accommodating in every way, quick to respond to emails, and a pleasure to work with. The Tasting: Johanna hosted an inexpensive and wonderful tasting with my fiance and parents. All of the flavors were not overly sugary, and the were so delicious and natural! I had some other tastings at various wedding events, and none even came close to the flavors of Delicately Sweet Confections. It reminded me of cakes I've had in Europe, not processed and overly sweet. EVERY flavor was great, it was hard to choose! The Cake: Part of our cake was hummingbird, which I had not heard of before doing a cake tasting. It reminds me of banana bread with walnuts and pineapple. It is my new favorite cake flavor! The other half was lemon cake, which was so delicious in every way! Our guests made positive remarks about both. I also enjoyed eating both flavors on my wedding night. Service: Johanna surpassed all of my expectations by promptly responding to my emails. My cake topper was a little heavy, so she happily put a support in the cake. She made everything easy for me. I was recommended to her by my coordinator, Alissa from Gather Events, and I would definitely pass on my highest recommendation! read more

I recently attended a wedding that had a beautiful cake made by Johanna. Three different flavored layers with gorgeous decoration that perfectly matched the bridal colors. I typically am more of a frosting fan- and hers was superb- but her cake flavors won me over. I'm so glad my friend chose her services- can't wait to order something for my next gathering! read more

I ordered a cake from Johanna for my mom's birthday. From the get-go, Johanna was super responsive and very helpful in picking something that'll work for us. Payment was super easy. She reminded me a day before about the pickup time and location and she was there to give me the cake. Now, more on the cake... it was a small round one, really tall and was absolutely beautiful! It was decorated with fresh flowers and was a all-vanilla affair. The cake was delish, on the denser side and moist. It was so good, and tasted like homemade! I loved it! My mom was so thrilled, she loved it. One can taste the genuine good baked into the cake. I can't wait to finish the leftover cake today and can't wait to order from Johanna again! read more

We are so happy we went with Delicately Sweet Confections for our wedding desserts! Johanna is wonderful to work with and is passionate about what she does. We had a tasting appointment several months before the wedding and got to try all the options and choose exactly what we wanted. The cake turned out beautiful! We also had her make 3 different flavors of cookies, which were supposed to be wedding favors. However, guests couldn't resist and they were ALL gone before the night was over - huge hit! Would definitely recommend Delicately Sweet Confections for any dessert needs! read more

I don't believe I've had any two same flavors of cupcakes from DSC - Johanna always has changing flavors that are delicious and unique.

You're in the wrong business lady if money is all you're after, verses your reputation of POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Johanna did a spectacular job on our wedding cakes. The smaller, two-tiered cake was beautiful and delicious, and the rounds for guests were also wonderful. We were eating leftover cake for two weeks after the wedding! Johanna was also extremely helpful with the tasting for cake selection, speedy communication and seamless day of set up. We will be going to her next year to order a smaller version of one of our wedding cake flavors for our first anniversary. If you're looking for a professional through and through, who is also the world's biggest sweetheart, Johanna is your lady. read more

I found Delicately Sweet Desserts on the Internet when I was researching Wedding Dessert Tables in the Seattle area. Since I am from Boston, I set up a dessert tasting with Johanna during a visit to Seattle and I was impressed with her passion for making delicious desserts. Everything we tried was amazing and we fell in love with her energy. Two months later she created the most beautiful and delicious dessert table for my sons wedding at the Woodmark Hotel in Kirkland. Everyone was raving about how beautiful the table looked and how wonderful all the different sweets tasted. She even adapted one pie to a recipe my mother use to make our family. Also, Johanna suggested putting the wedding pictures of the parents and grandparents on the dessert table, which tied the past with the present. I want to Thank Johanna for all her help in making this table a huge success and for all her beautiful ideas. She is amazing!!! read more

Johanna made the cupcakes for our wedding and did an amazing job! From the initial tasting to the day of the event, she was helpful, professional, and very organized.

The cupcake display tower with a small cake on top was beautiful and she even made a sign listing the cupcake flavors. All were delicious! read more

Such a pleasure to work with in securing sweets for our wedding! We ordered 4 different types of cakes and each was so delicious and looked amazing as well.

From the fresh in season fruit flavors, yummy buttercream frosting to the salted caramel detail, definitely a taste to please everyone's taste buds! read more

My brother bought cupcakes from Delicately Sweet Confections for my niece's birthday party. So delicious!

Johanna hosted a cupcake decorating party for my daughter's sixth birthday yesterday, and it was fantastic! She provided everything the girls needed to decorate their own bakery box for the take-home cake, the buttercream and sprinkles to make their cupcakes special, and of course the tasty cupcakes themselves! Each girl had their own fun placemat and apron, and was able to decorate two cupcakes during the 90 minute party. Another major plus - Johanna did the tidy up afterwards, and swept up all the sprinkles from the floor of my dining room :-) I will definitely recommend Delicately Sweet Confections to anyone looking for a fun idea for a party. read more
