I recently met you at a bridal fair and just wanted to say how much I enjoyed speaking with you. You were so warm, friendly, and easy to connect with--it really stood out to me. I also tried your signature Honeybee Mine cake, and it was absolutely amazing. It was one of the highlights of the event! read more

We worked with Kelly at Glass Slipper Gourmet for our wedding cake and desserts. At our tasting and design appointment she walked us through the entire process and her wide range of cake flavors had something for everyone, sweet, floral and/or rich. Her signature flavor "Honey Bee Mine" was so well balanced and original, our guests could not stop raving about it! Kelly helped us come up with a unique design based off of a couple of pictures that complemented our overall event, and also made a sheet cake to supplement as well as a mini dessert bar with brownies, rice crispies and cupcakes for 80 people, and delivered them to our venue. read more

For your wedding cake needs, look no further than Glass Slipper Gourmet. It was amazing to work with Kelly from the initial options & variety, to the tasting, to everything on the day itself. Our wedding cake turned out PERFECTLY. My only regret was that I didn't order another cake to enjoy more after the day. The flavors are out of this world and the presentation was top class. read more

We're beyond happy we chose Glass Slipper to cater our September wedding in Berkeley. Kelly worked with us to create a very personalized cake taste and design that was tailored to us, and she was super helpful coordinating everything from the design, to the taste, to the return of the items she loaned us (which we accidentally stole - she was incredibly understanding). Many of our attendees were blown away by the design, which was non-traditionally beautiful (we had a mountanious landscape with a starry night). Additionally, the cake flavors we had, honey lavender and almond vanilla, were tasty and highly distinct. Highly recommend! read more

The cake we got for our wedding was spectacular, both visually and in terms of its deliciousness! We opted for a more modern style, marbled color on fondant, and the result was stunning, a great centerpiece for our wedding. In addition, both the cappuccino and blueberry cake flavors were phenomenal. The blueberry in particular was not just good but very interesting, truly unique and unlike anything we'd had before. In terms of planning and preparation, Kelly was extremely professional. We had a pleasant experience tasting a variety of flavors, and she took plenty of time to work with us about our ideas for a wedding cake and come up with something we'd really like! She was also so helpful guiding us in the planning process, as we hadn't gone to look at linens/colors yet, right away Kelly sprang into action, gave us a recommended vendor for rentals, called them up to see what availability they had and explained the process/order of planning to us. It was extremely helpful and definitely above and beyond! Due to an emergency closure of our initial venue we had to make some minor schedule changes relatively late in the planning process, and Kelly took this in stride and took care of everything for us. Big thumbs up for Glass Slipper Gourmet, they nailed it! read more

We loved working with Kelly/Glass Slipper Gourmet for our wedding in April 2023 and would highly recommend her to others. To start, we had a fun and informative tasting session, during which my husband and I were able to sample 10 (!) different flavors. Kelly diligently kept track of our preferences, helping us narrow the options and ultimately pick our favorite ("Pucker Up"). She also showed us styrofoam rounds of different cake sizes to bring the proposed dimensions to life and allow us to visualize our future cake. We appreciated her suggestions for ways to stay within our budget, including supplementing our main cake with sheet cakes behind the scenes. After such a great experience early in the process, we weren't surprised that Kelly very much delivered on the day-of. She coordinated independently with our wedding planner, arrived on time, and beautifully applied the flowers provided by our florist. The cake was as delicious as when we sampled it many months prior, and we received a handful of compliments from our guests. We're gradually enjoying the extra pieces in our freezer, though Kelly has a special deal where you can purchase a small cake on your one year anniversary (below her usual minimum purchase/size requirements). We would 100% work with Kelly again and are so grateful to have had her as our baker for our special day! read more

We usually get our birthday cakes from a bakery in Sacramento but due to the distance and obvious circumstances, we wanted to find someone local. Then, we found Glass Slipper Gourmet. Kelley was kind enough to fit my order in despite my last minute request. Courteous and friendly pick up experience as well. And the cake was divine. Light and sweet. I will definitely be ordering from her for future occasions. read more

I am SO glad my venue had Glass Slipper Gourmet on their preferred vendors list because I truly couldn't have imagined a better cake than the one (two!) created for us by the talented Kelly. I am a cake connoisseur, so naturally having the best possible cake for our wedding was very important to me. I was pretty sure it would take many days of hunting for the right bakery, along with many tastings. Turns out, I only needed one tasting to KNOW. Kelly makes the best cakes. Period. They are so unique, perfectly fluffy and not too sweet. Narrowing down the two flavors for our main cake and the sheet cakes to be served at our wedding was so difficult, but we ultimately went with her signature flavor, Honey Bee Mine, for our 3-tiered cake and Italian Rum for our sheet cakes. When it came to the day of our wedding, I was completely blown away with how our cake turned out. Visually, it was everything I could've hoped for. Flavor wise the Honey Bee Mine, exactly how I remembered from our tasting. I was pleased as punch. The only thing that I'm disappointed about is the fact that I didn't get to try the Italian Rum cake :( Guess that means I'll have to order that flavor for our 1 year anniversary! (side note- Kelly graciously worked with us through two COVID postponements, so thanks Kelly!) Looking forward to all the cakes we'll order from you in the future :) read more

We chose the Honey Bee Mine as our cake for our May 2021 wedding. What a hit! Kelly is a talented baker! We met her at the coworking space for our initial tasting menu. It was a delightful 90 minutes where we tried several flavors, had fun ranking them and got to learn more about her inspirations for each recipe. We booked her on the spot and were able to lock down the design inspiration before heading home. As a bonus, we were able to order an extra tasting pack for our parents (whom the cake was super important to, but couldn't attend due to COVID protocols at the time). The cake looked and tasted just as amazing as we expected! Can't wait to have that anniversary cake next May and will keep Kelly in mind for any other big parties that require cake in the future. read more

Cake was one of my (maybe the top...) main priorities for my wedding. We went to many tastings and Glass Slipper was the best. Her flavors were amazing. We chose Island Passion and Valencia.

Kelly made my wedding cake recently and let me tell you, it was a HIT! We chose her signature Honey Bee Mine flavor and everyone absolutely loved it. So many people asked me what the flavor was, they couldn't quite figure it out but had to know. Not only was the cake delicious, it also looked stunning. Kelly created the cake exactly as I had hoped. She was also so kind and responsive to all my questions. I am really so grateful to her and will be ordering a Honey Bee Mine for our anniversary so we can eat it all ourselves! read more

Glass Slipper Gourmet - So beautiful and delicious! - Desserts Near Me

We used glass slipper for two cakes: one for my bridal shower and one for our wedding. The bridal shower cake was a fondant blue cake that had a ribbon across the top and a gift tag attached to it. The ribbon she used for the tag was very sloppy and knotted in an ugly manner (pointed out by many of my aunts). We were going to take the tag off but realized under it was a huge dent in the cake so decided to leave it on in the end. The top of the box was done to look like a hat box but it was not even. (see pictures). After seeing the bridal shower cake my mom and aunts wanted us to switch to a different cake vendor but my man and I decided to stick it out and assume the dents, bumps and flaws were a one time mistake. Before the wedding I had emailed my concerns about the cake and that we really wanted I make sure that the same issues did not occur. She assured us she would do everything possible to not have the same types of issues and we believed her.. I sent her a champagne ribbon that I wanted the icing to match weeks before. We were SO excited to see our cake because we had paid more for it than we had originally planned so we had high expectations. Sadly, we were disappointed. The icing was not a light gold color but rather a mustard yellow. I honestly sucked my breathe in when I saw it because I was in disbelief of the color. The icing was not centered in many places (bridal party /parents also pointed it out). The cake was in the center of the room so the portion where the ribbon overlapped was not cut evenly and was extremely noticeable. We had to angle ourselves so that it did not show up in pictures. HOWEVER, the cake was delicious. We had a white cake with dark chocolate filling and raspberry layered in there. It was mouthwatering and everyone loved the flavor and went back for seconds. 5 stars for flavor. After the event we emailed and I did explain that although we loved the taste we were not satisfied with the look at all. I did not enjoy the tone of her reply because she make me out to be a bridezilla, which I most certainly was not. My husband was not happy with the unevenness, I was not happy with the ribbon and icing color. Considering we paid a handful for the cake we did expect near perfection. We felt that the pictures we saw in her portfolio did not match the quality of work that we saw on either of the cakes we received from her. Yes, she put in many hours of work BUT her job is to make gourmet cakes and with that comes a level of perfection that is expected. I have attached pictures with arrows to show the flaws we are talking about I did forget to tell the reception to collect the cake supplies at the end of the night so they were thrown out. Kelly did tell me ahead of time that i would lose the 30-50 (i cant remember exactly how much) deposit if I did not return the items but because of my unhappiness she did not cash the check. Although this was a nice gesture I did find it odd that when you are paying close to 2k for a cake you would charge your customer for some pvc piping. But in fairness, she did inform me of this ahead of time so that was my mistake. Design 0 Average 2.5 Would I use her again or suggest her to a friend? Only if it was for sheet cake because the cake was delicious. read more

Everyone at our wedding raved about the look and the taste of the cake. I think my favorite part of the wedding was the cake! And it was a fabulous wedding! Kelly was so professional and organized to work with and we will definitely be ordering more cakes from her in the future. Her signature couture flavor Honey Bee Mine was my favorite. Our other flavor was Devil's Foodcake. I even had wedding guests asking where to purchase more cakes from. read more

After our May 2020 wedding was postponed, we agreed with our vendors to follow up the following year about our new date of October 16th, 2021. Unfortunately, our only vendor that fell through was our baker, who retired. We had our hearts set on the flavors we had initially chosen and the person who took her business over was unable to accommodate our dream cupcake and cutting cake menu. Although we were worried about finding a new vendor, it ended up being a silver lining, as we found Kelly with Glass Slipper Gourmet and were thrilled with her work! She was quick to respond, professional, completely accommodating of our hopes for our flavors, and when we met for our tasting we realized how lucky we were to work with her! We went in with our original menu set in our minds, but upon tasting her signature flavor (Honey Bee Mine) we were completely blown away and knew we had to add it to our cupcake menu immediately! Our guests raved about the cupcake flavors and the presentation (including our cake topper featuring the bride, groom, and our feline companion) and our cutting cake were just beautiful. We are looking forward to having our frozen leftover cake on our 1-year anniversary! read more

I hired Kelly for my wedding cake on 5/14/11. Kelly is a very kind, friendly, professional person who also is VERY talented with wedding cakes! She was patient and flexible with me as changed my mind a few times, and asked for clarification on prices, deposits, etc. She met with us at our home for the cake tasting, and then agreed to meet with me one more time at a more central coffee shop to discuss more details once I had decided on a design, and then again on the phone to finalize details a few weeks before the wedding. The cake design was AMAZING! Beyond my expectations. She really listened to everything! The scrolling and details she did by hand were perfect, lovely. BRAVO! Kelly has some interesting cake flavors, but me being as picky as I was didn't exactly like the ones I tried. Kelly was willing to make any flavor combo that I wanted, but I was apprehensive to have a cake flavor at my wedding that I had never tried myself. Finally I settled on dark chocolate cake with dark and light mouse chocolate fillings with buttercream frosting. It was a very delicious cake and I had two pieces at the wedding! All in all, with the prices of Glass Slipper Gourmet coupled with the expert and professional design and attention to detail, not to mention how much Kelly is willing to cater to your every whim, I'd say that if you have the chance to utilize her talents, DO IT! PS. She has a fabulous signature cake flavor, lavender! Perfect for bridal and baby showers! read more

Awesome, sad that i didn't use Kelly for my wedding... While researching bakeries for my sis-n-law's wedding... i came across GSG ... Super sweet lady and she did a cake tasting at my house!... (now-a-days a tasting at a shop is rarity)... Her presentation was awesome, she was very through, very very fair in price/ flexible with bugets and the cake variety is unreal. She had tons of flavors to tantilize anyones taste buds... i highly recommend GSG... i just wish i had found her a year prior for my own wedding! PS to any bakeries out there... cake tasting and presentation are what makes the difference.... you want our business not the other way around... especially when it comes to weddings! read more

Wow. I ordered one of Kelly's Pink Champagne cakes as a treat for myself (and my family) for Mother's Day. It was delicious AND beautiful! The pink (grenadine) cake was moist and tasty, and the champagne custard was amazing. My husband has requested a bucket-full of the custard for Father's Day. This was my first cake from Kelly, but I know it won't be my last! read more

Kelly was our dessert vendor for our wedding and I can't recommend her more highly. Her creations are stunning and she has the most amazing flavors - I challenge you to pick only one! We had change our large wedding to a small backyard gathering due to COVID (with the hope of a reception later on), and Kelly was very flexible about letting us move our deposit for the bigger event and working with us for a smaller scale dessert set-up for the backyard gathering as well. We went with a simple cutting cake in the Mexican Hot Chocolate flavor - a marble cake spiced with cayenne and cinnamon that is to die for, which Kelly artfully arranged flowers from our florist on top of - and cupcakes modeled off her signature Honey Bee Mine flavor, lavender blossom cupcakes with blueberry filling and honey cream cheese. Our families absolutely loved the desserts and understood why we'd been hyping them up since we booked. I can't wait to work with Kelly again in the future and highly, highly recommend that you order one of her cakes! read more

Exceptional service, taste and execution! My husband and I chose to add Kelly to our wedding day team after having a private cake tasting in our home. With her culinary background she combines flavors that are far more exciting than the standard wedding cake. She has an exceptional knack for listening and interpreting the wishes of her clients and, in the end, the cake she made for us was better than I could have even imagined--and it tasted just as it did the day of our tasting! There are a handful of cake bakers in the East Bay and Kelly's superb customer service and culinary talent stand apart. If you are looking for an exceptional experience and delicious wedding cake--have a tasting with Kelly! You'll see what I mean after the very first bite. read more

With that said, I decided to contact her again for my husband's, "Raider themed" birthday dinner last month. It was very short notice, but I figured what the heck it's worth a try.
