Best cakes in the area! Fresh, delicious. Don't go anywhere else for cake for any occasion!

We were so very happy with our wedding cake! Not only did it look fantastic, but it tasted great! My partner and I had a cake tasting many months before our wedding and were impressed with the flavors Lovely Cake offers. We didn't expect to select what we selected: lemon cake with passion fruit buttercream. It was a dream! Seriously, I wouldn't have even thought of using these flavors for our cake if not for the tasting. The cake, too, was the perfect density -- baked to perfection! Renata delivered the cake early on wedding day. She was communicative throughout the entire process. We were happy with the service, communication, and delivery! Since we opted for a wedding on the beach (at the Jacky Durrell Pavilion in Fairfield), we wanted an ocean-themed cake. After searching the internet, we found a gorgeous design and asked if Renata could make something similar. What she delivered was breathtaking. One of guests didn't even think it was a real cake! The cake was beautiful as well as delicious. We hope to find a really good excuse to order another showstopper of a cake from Lovely Cakes. read more

Lovely Cakes - Our octopus wedding cake! Lemon cake with passionfruit buttercream. Beautiful and delicious! - Cupcakes Near Me - Stratford, Connecticut

Imagine this for one minute. You're getting married today. You want everything to be as perfect as it can be as you tie the knot with the love of your life. Your relatives flew in from different states to celebrate your special day. Your 70-year old parents flew in from Florida and couldn't be happier for you! You've read all these outstanding reviews about Lovely Cakes, and more impressive, they've been on cake wars! Now imagine this: your wedding cupcakes and anniversary topper arrived- but were dumped off a 10-minute walk away from your venue. Your 73-year old dad had to carry the cupcake tier and topper now. By the way, it's 30 pounds, and he got the side of his face on it from the weight. The icing on the cake (no pun intended) is that they weren't even what my sister asked for. These look SO flimsy and small! I could have made these myself. Terrible, and unless you're purchasing a $500+ cake, they won't care at all about you. I wish I could get my money back. It was my wedding present to my sister. Thanks, Lovely Cakes, for starting things off on a terrible note. read more

I could NOT be happier with Lovely Cakes!! Renata was amazing! She listened to what I wanted and together designed exactly what my vision was for my husband's 60th surprise party. Even though my husband is a dentist (a tooth cake?) and loves to play tennis (a tennis cake?), we love to travel the world. People could not believe this masterpiece was a cake, till we cut it and we all ate it. It was VERY delicious!!! Thank you Lovely Cakes. I'm not surprised you won Cake Wars, Renata, you are an artist! read more

I don't know who handles thee emails here but they could use some sensitivity training. I wrote very early on a Tuesday morning before their rather late opening of 10am to ask if they could accommodate an exception to their 1 week rule for for orders for a simple cupcake order for a celebration of life after family member passed away that sunday. They sent a routing "we don't take orders with less than a week notice." No mention of the circumstances, or even a standard "we are sorry for your loss." It's rude to treat exceptional circumstances the way you would someone planning a normal party who just waiting too long to order. Went to another bakery in town who was kind and understood extenuating circumstances of a passing. They seem like they would be tasty but the lack of humanity isn't worth i read more

Awesome cake shop! The cake was delicious! It also was a masterpiece, perfect in every detail, perfect texture and flavor. I am definitely going to be a repeat customer. Thank you Renata soooooo much! I just signed up to yelp to let the world know how awesome this was!!!! read more

Everything was perfect for my son's first birthday. We ordered a smash cake for my son and a second cake for everyone else. I sent pictures of Cookie Monster Cakes I wanted and wrote a description of any changes and they were all met perfectly. I would recommend Renata to anyone(I already have). We also changed our delivery date last minute and she changed it with no fuss, great cakes and great customer service what more could you want. read more

Renata is THE BAKER . Although mine was a last minute request for my sons 4th bday she accepted our request and came to our rescue in distress . All I said was sea creatures cake and I can't believe the amazing cake she made for us . So far in my Experience if the cake looks super pretty it doesn't taste good but Renata burst that myth for me. Cake was very delicious and all the kiddos loved it . It was a tuxedo cake with orange cream and salted caramel butter cream .. yum ! I am waiting for occasions to order cake with her again. read more

We absolutely LOVED our wedding cake from Lovely Cakes! We had a small intimate backyard wedding in August 2020, and about a month before, I contacted Renata about making a cake for us. I looked through pictures of previous cakes on her website, and sent her a picture of one that we loved the look of, with a few adjustments for us. It was delivered promptly the day of the wedding, and looked amazing, just like the picture. And it tasted delicious too! We ended up getting the white spice cake with both the cinnamon buttercream & their signature salted caramel buttercream filling - and it was all absolutely amazing, and everyone loved it. Would highly recommend Lovely Cakes to all! read more

Renata from Lovely Cakes baked our perfect, dream wedding cake. It had 5 tiers and tuxedo flavors, including chocolate fudge frosting and their famous salted caramel buttercream. Renata perfectly matched our wedding colors for a fondant bow, since we didn't want flowers on the cake. She and her team were also amazingly accommodating with some last minute changes and requests. Most importantly, the cake tasted amazing, and everyone who had a piece wanted to come back for seconds. I'm already looking forward to our first anniversary so I can have another slice! Thank you, Lovely Cakes!! read more

Our cake from Renata was so perfect! We had such a hard time picking which flavor we wanted at the tasting because everything was so delicious! I think we changed our flavors 3 times along the way ;) The day of, our cake was nothing short of beautiful and perfect, and it tasted awesome! We had a tuxedo cake with chocolate buttercream filling and vanilla icing - pure perfection! read more

My whole experience with Renata was just great. Very friendly, communicative, and happy. She definitely wants the outcome to be the one you are dreaming of! The cake was just beautiful, and also delicious! It was the highlight of our evening! I can't wait for another event to order another cake! Irene read more

Look no further for your special cake. They are delicious and artistically presented. Renata is lovely to work with and will always exceed your expectations and impress your guests. Don't waste your time at any bakery or shop anywhere else! And don't be afraid to let her use her creativity to design your cake rather than choosing it out of a catalog. Your cake will be unique and one of a kind. read more

Renata is the cake queen! She is truly a breath of fresh air amid a sea of stuck-up CT cake bakers. We hired her for our wedding cake. A total professional from the get-go, she worked very hard to respect our budget and capture our vision while serving up absolutely to-die-for cake. Our tiered cake with rough buttercream was gorgeous and delicious on its own, and Renata did a beautiful job placing fresh flowers and our custom topper to make it feel truly personal. Though she probably doesn't need our endorsement since winning "Cake Wars" (!!), we would enthusiastically recommend Renata and Lovely Cakes to anyone! read more

I couldn't be more delighted by my experience with Lovely Cakes in Norwalk, CT. The owner, Renata, did a fabulous job on a tiered birthday cake for me. It was both gorgeous and delicious! Add in that Renata has a calm, easy-going personality, professionalism and devine baking / cake designing expertise and you have the ultimate recipe for a perfect special event cake! Let me tell you a few important details about my experience with Lovely Cakes. I live in Los Angeles and was planning a 90th birthday party / family reunion for my Aunt. The party took place in Stamford, Connecticut where my Aunt and much of her family grew up (although nearly everyone has since moved away). I did 100% of the party planning long distance and choose all my vendors through online reviews / recommendations like Yelp.com. When I talked to Renata I told her that I wanted a cake that would celebrate my Aunt's amazing life. Renata guided me through every step of the process with ease and in the end designed a "biography cake" that had 8 or 9 three dimensional decorative figures on it, each representing something memorable in my Aunt's life (such as her love of white poodles, convertible cars, international travel, her Texas home for 60 years, etc.). It was perfect! My Aunt was thrilled and everyone at the party commented on how well the cake fit who she is. Finally, and most importantly, the cake was absolutely positively delicious! My Aunt does not like super sweet cakes so I left the combination of flavors and fillings to Renata since she is the expert. We had a tuxedo cake - i.e. alternating chocolate and vanilla layers of cake with alternating filling flavors of chocolate ganache and chocolate mousse. The frosting was buttercream and fondant. Everyone at the party raved about how yummy the cake was but I believe the best compliment of all came from my dear Auntie herself, who said, "I think this may be the best cake I've ever eaten!" Coming from a woman with 90 years of cake tasting experience, I believe that is quite a statement!! Thank you Lovely Cakes for making the cake such a hit and for making my job of long distance planning exceptionally easy. read more

The cakes are amazing to look at but also so delicious. Great decision to get our special birthday cake here.

from our initial tasting date to select our custom cake, to our wedding reception on November 9th,2013 - where the wedding cake was the only desert - Renata made true to her skills. Our wedding cake was delicious,beautiful,and exactly how we discussed it would look like. We highly recommend Lovely Cakes in Norwalk. Thank you Renata ! read more

I'm sure her cakes are good, but I will never know. The customer service is atrocious. Her assistant is very rude and is turning away business. Not smart. Word of mouth creates new business. If you refuse to give consultations because you are too busy, you may not be busy in the future. By the way, Luigis is still baking amazing cakes and has caught up with the times creating beautiful cakes as good as Lovely Cakes. read more

Amazing and pure magic! Lovely Cakes (LC) recently (Sept 2018) created a replica of an old black leather suitcase so realistic that one guest asked why we brought a suitcase to the party. The owner Renata is a creative genius, a perfectionist. Working from photos I emailed, the scuffed and scratched "leather" suitcase she created stood upright - harder to construct but visually more fun. Then came "metal" corner brackets with perfectly spaced screws; an "old" name tag framed in "leather" attached to the handle and curling at the edges; a thick "worn leather" handle with delicate "metal" swivel hardware; and "metal" locks with buttons and keyholes that looked like they could spring open. Even more impressive is LC's use of advanced printing technology - top quality edible ink printed on delicate thin sugar sheets which produce bright colors that don't bleed. State of the art makes all the difference. LC printed 30 images I emailed, then trimmed and applied each one to the sides of the "leather" suitcase to look like tourist decals - smooth with no raised edges, some overlapping others. It was remarkable artistry! The flavor was wonderful, too: layers of Tuxedo cake held together with Signature Salted Caramel filling and covered in chocolate "leather" fondant. Guests loved it. And, Lovely Cakes is easy to work with, stayed within budget and on time. Violet was unstintingly generous in answering my many questions whenever I called. Lovely Cakes took my idea and hit it right out of the ballpark! read more

I went for a cake tasting the other day and was totally disappointed. I have been to many cake tastings in the past at different bakeries throughout Fairfield county. I have been in charge of parties for a very large physician practice for a number of years. First, and foremost was the way I was greeted at the door. I wasn't . I just recently learned the name of the owner on this website. I was just told to have a seat. We were presented with "bite" size cake pieces that to tell you the truth, looked like the pound cake that comes out of the bags you can buy in the store. Then we had six different flavors of icing and filler that were all put in "medicine" dispenser cups. Do yourself a favor. Hire a person that can show you some marketing strategies. You need someone who is upbeat when a person enters your establishment. Presentation is a must. Putting 8 pieces of pound cake and 8 pieces of pineapple upside down cake is not presentation to sell. When I have asked for a baker to have a "tasting", the first thing they did was ask me for the top five flavors I was interested in. The next step, was that they sent samples to the hospital for my staff and I to try. Samples that were actually cakes. Tiny cakes, but still cakes. I then asked my staff to rate the "cakes" that we had from one baker. We chose the best from that baker. I always had five local bakeries compete for making a cake at the hospital. I believe the people, my soon to be "inlaws" were taken advantage of. I believe you knew that once they were in your shop, they would not walk out the door without purchasing anything. I also believe you knew that the only reason that they came to you was because they saw you on TV and that is big thing for the mother of the bride to say... I had "so and so" from the tv show "Cake Wars" do our daughters cake. With how I was treated, and presentation of your "cakes", I would have walked out of your door without making a purchase. I would still not know your name and I would have never considered your establishment as a front runner in any party I was throwing at the hospital. Again, I urge you, to get some help with selling your cakes. You may be an excellent baker. I personally did not see that. Work on your presentation to the customers. You never know who is sitting at your table. read more
