The design was beautifully done and it tasted even better than it looked. We ended up having the vanilla cupcakes w/ raspberry lemon fruit filling (it was a girl!) Christine was wonderful and easy to work with and had excellent communication, especially dealing with our family member who was secretly communicating our gender reveal results. 10/10 I would recommend your next party/event with Sweet Haven! Bakery! Thank you again, Christine!!!

All of the pastries are perfect - super flavorful but not too rich or overwhelming. I also am a big fan of their oreo tres leches cake! The fresh strawberries really make it that much more special.

Fear not, Sweets by Kash to the rescue!!! I called Lindsey up about 3.5 months out from our wedding date and explained everything. She did say that was not her specialty, but man she hit it out of the park! We were having a small wedding and wanted to have cheesecake as our "cake". We already had a sweets table and wanted to beef up the options for guests, as well as pay homage to our first date. Our first date was at the Cheesecake Factory and we thought it would be perfect for us. It was easy to set up a tasting. We chose to pick up the cheesecake from Lindsey and have a little date night at home and test it all out. The packaging was super cute and the decorations on top were beautiful. But the flavors, WOW! I think cheesecake is so underrated. It's rich and creamy and is such a great dessert. We devoured the tasting cheesecake in a few days LOL. Honestly, with how simple everything was to set up and get answers to our questions immediately, I knew we had someone good. But the flavors, MMMMMMMMM!!! We didn't even finish an entire piece and I knew Lindsey was the baker for us. We love to support local businesses as well, so in the end everything worked out. So we booked Sweets by Kash and had her deliver to our venue and set up the cheesecake for us. They were all so beautiful and we got so many compliments on the taste. We ordered chocolate chip cheesecake and Oreo, as well as a gluten free chocolate chip cheesecake. Our GF guests really appreciated being able to eat a dessert in its entirety and said it was outstanding. We opted to save the top so we could enjoy that deliciousness all weekend, but someone walked away with it sadly. I will absolutely placing an order so we can celebrate our wedding anniversary with our special cheesecake (and no, I will not be waiting an entire year, because that cheesecake is too dang good to wait!). Thank you Lindsey for being amazing to work with and I don't have the professional photos back yet, but if you zoom in on this one, you can see the lovely set up in the background.

The smash cake was just as amazing--our son loved it so much he barely left a crumb and was not happy when we took it away! It was clearly just as delicious as it was adorable. Beyond her baking, Ava was incredibly kind, responsive, and easy to work with. She made the whole process seamless and was very reasonably priced. We'll absolutely be ordering from her again and can't recommend her enough!

There were maybe ~8 people who came in at once (including us), but the space wasn't really big enough to accommodate everyone, even just waiting in line. (There's also no space to eat). I ordered the white chocolate raspberry bundt cake. While it was very tasty, there was barely any raspberry in it. It was basically just a vanilla cake with white chocolate on top. Again, tasty, but not what I thought I'd be getting, which was kinda disappointing since it was a bit pricey.
