I can not even begin to tell you all the wonderful things I know about Donna and her shop Opulent Cakes! First off, let me say, I am a wedding vendor. I have an insiders view of what goes on in the wedding industry. And no, Donna did not ask or pay for me to write this review. She does not even know I am writing it. I am writing it because I wanted other brides out there to know what kind of a wonderful professional she is.
Donna worked for another cake shop for years as a chief baker. She learned the recipes this cake shop used. As a matter of fact, this was no ordinary cake shop. This shop was owned by the niece of one of the most prominent pastry chefs in all of the world. The opportunity came for Donna to open her shop as the previous owners retired and took new ventures. I was happy to see Donna have the chance to realize her dream! I knew she would succeed because I had watched her field many a difficult situation with grace, finess, and tact. She has empathy, understanding, and and compassion, yet she is a businesswoman. Donna gets the job done with beauty & wonderful tasting cake!
When it came time for our wedding, I was an oder bride, and I knew exactly who I wanted to make our cake for our wedding. I went straight to Donna. I did a taste test, not that I needed to, but more to jog my memory. She was patient with me, and gave me many tips, much like she did for the brides. She helped offer us some tips I had not even thought of, since I was more of on the bridal salon side of things that ended up saving us a good deal of money. She did a chocolate fountain for us that included different types of fruit which people loved. We also did our groom's cake with Donna, and of course our Bride's cake. They were scrumptious! We had the amaretto and buttercream bride's cake, and the chocolate groom's cake. Our family and friends from church loved it so much, that even years later, they still tell us that it was the most delicious cake they have ever eaten! People ask me where we got it and I am happy to tell them about Donna. I have used her cakes for a few dinner parties, and a Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter dinner or two. They make a great Bridal Shower cake and wonderful item if you can't think of what to bring to your new Mother-In-Law's House! If you are in charge of a Bridal Shower, this is definitely the place where you want to head, after as a Head Maid, you want to please your bride! :-) Every time we bring one of Donna's Opulent Cakes someplace, our friends squeal and say, "Oh, it's one of Donna's Opulent Cakes! You KNOW it's gonna be good!" It is, of course, and we enjoy the night with fun, friendship, and merriment! Be sure and take a look at her website and facebook page. They are incredible! Then go by for a taste testing. You will be hooked!!! read more
