Chanel Cake (Sweet as Love) literally

Natalie made the best cake we ever had. So beautiful! 2 days later and I'm still eating the fondant and roses! Delivered on time. VERY reasonable pricing. I definitely recommend Sweet as Love Cakes. MikeO

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding cake! Sweet as Love absolutely exceeded our expectations. Not only was the cake stunningly beautiful - it truly looked like a work of art - but it tasted just as amazing as it looked. The team was so kind, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. They really listened to what we wanted and brought our vision to life flawlessly. We're so grateful for Natalie helping make our wedding day even more special. Highly recommend!

Monster jam cake

The most delicious and perfect looking cake! I was so happy with the turn out of this cake that was just briefly discussed over a few emails and a few details . I could tell by her Instagram that she pays attention to details and is extremely creative so I was not worried at all. And not only was the design perfect the cake is so delicious. We had a chocolate cake with a chocolate whipped cream filling. Thank you, Natalie for executing this perfect cake for son

We could not have asked for a more delicious and beautiful wedding cake!! We are so thankful and so happy that we went with sweet as love! Natalie is great and fast to respond. I highly recommend. Thanks again for making our day special.

We found Natalie at Sweet As Love because we were looking for wedding cake flavors beyond the standard (*ahem* boring) options, and Natalie certainly delivered! We ended up going with 2 flavors: blueberry lavender and almond dulce de leche. Natalie was also super willing to try out custom flavors for us, which we really appreciated even though we ended up not picking them! One of the standout qualities was that Natalie uses real fruit in her fruit-flavored fillings, which made the fillings taste so refreshing. I also knew very early on that I wanted to feature a figure of our dog and make it look like our dog had been munching on some of the cake frosting, and Natalie executed this PERFECTLY. We got so many compliments from our guests on the flavors AND on the adorable decoration with our pup. We had so much cake left over from the day (because we majorly over-ordered) that my husband and I ate some practically every day for a few weeks, and we never got tired of it!

Our beautiful cake!

Sweet as Love OC comes to the rescue for my 10 year anniversary! As stated on her page, a party without a cake is just a meeting and this would have been the case for my 10 year anniversary if not for Natalie! She's an incredibly creative, kind and caring business owner who really loves her work. I provided some basic requirements for my cake and her creative vision for what I wanted blew me away. I'm also extremely grateful to her for accommodating me on such short notice. This detail is something I will never forget and think of for years to come. The inside of the cake was her delicious signature funfetti flavor. Natalie, thank you again for this beautiful anniversary treat!

Baby shower cake!
Ashly N.

Natalie is fantastic! We had a little mishap DAYS before my sister-in-law's baby shower which had me franticly looking for a new baker to make my SILs cake. I messaged Natalie in the morning, sent her a photo with a light description of what my SIL liked and within an hour she confirmed that she was able to help us out. The cake was perfectly packaged and ready to go for pick-up Saturday morning! Working with Natalie brought me so much peace. She communicated well, was prompt in replies, and her artistic style and quality cake makes her a super star. This cake looked fabulous, tasted amazing and will be the only person I go to moving forward for special cakes. Thank you, Natalie! I highly recommend :)

Oogie boogie cake

I cannot thank Natalie enough for the absolutely incredible Oogie Boogie cake she made for my son! She truly outdid herself. I usually just grab a small cake from the grocery store, but my son had his heart set on a Nightmare Before Christmas theme, for his August birthday, no less! I reached out to Natalie, and she responded within the hour and somehow squeezed us into her schedule. She was communicative, kind, and truly saved the day. The cake itself was not only a showstopper visually! True edible art, but it was also delicious. I honestly don't think I can go back to store-bought cakes after this. The price is 100% worth it. Your kids will light up when they see their cake, and the smiles will say it all. Trust me, you won't regret it!

Wedding Cake

We cannot thank Sweet as Love Bakery enough for creating the most stunning (and delicious!) wedding cake we could have imagined. Our 3-tier cake was truly a work of art -- beautifully adorned with cascading fresh roses and delicate details, and topped with such a charming design. It was not only breathtaking to look at, but every bite was absolutely divine. Many of our guests commented on how gorgeous and unique the cake was, and it truly became the centerpiece of the evening. The flavors were just as incredible as the presentation -- moist, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. From the design process to the final presentation, Sweet as Love Bakery was professional, creative, and so easy to work with. They truly brought our vision to life and made it even better than we dreamed. If you're looking for a baker who combines artistry with flavor, look no further -- Sweet as Love Bakery is the one! We will be recommending them to everyone we know.

OMG! This cake is the craziest cake I've ever seen she made my birthday dreams come true! Scream is my favorite movie and I was absolutely blown away by Natalie's artistry. It went so well and fit the vibe of my Halloween birthday party perfectly! The mask was cake pop and taste SO GOOD my guests were absolutely blown away by the design too. Lol I'm still in shock please buy your custom cakes from her. Also Natalie is so sweet and accommodating and really made sure to help with the transfer to make sure the cake was safe during travel. 20/10 experience!!!!

Cake

The cake for my daughter's birthday was magnificent! I asked Natalie for a certain design and she didn't hesitate to say that she would love to make one for me! This was the second custom order that Natalie created for me. I would definitely recommend her services. The birthday cake was not just a masterpiece, but it was also very tasty. The lavender flavored cake and the pink champagne buttercream were simply amazing - perfectly moist and not too sweet. All of our guests couldn't stop raving about how delicious it was. Not only is Natalie incredibly talented, but also so kind and gracious. Thank you so much for the creation that truly took the cake! No pun intended!

Natalie was such a wonderful person to work with to create our dream wedding cake! We were wanting a vintage lambeth, tall, and elegant cake and what we received was exactly what we were hoping for. We decided on lavender cake with blackberry filling and we had guests coming up to us saying how delicious it was all night. We had such a great time working with her and are so grateful for our expe

I feel compelled to add to my previous review and Natalie's response. First of all, I did not state that she admitted to producing sloppy work. That is a misquote. Second, her statement that the actual product may not fully resemble inspired pictures is quite an understatement. To illustrate this, i find it necessary to include a picture of what i requested and was assured I would receive, as well as a picture of her delivered product.

This time for my birthday, I thought we'd try a standard flavor cake since they should be making it on the regular. We got the lemon delight. It was super sweet. I couldn't eat any of the frosting and the frosting filling next to the lemon was very sweet. They also messed up my name. I remember my husband spelling out my name like the military nato style too but what was written on the order form was wrong. And then on the cake was wrong and didn't even match the order form. I know my name is difficult but I guess the decorator wasn't there so it was a difficult fix. They apologized and gave us candles. On a side note and not affecting this rating: We ate at the cafe side once and it was good. But we sat outside and had a bad experience unrelated to the cafe. Someone with their huge hairy dog was just outside the cafe and rubbing their long hair dog getting it into the air and the wind was blowing it all over our food and drinks and also in the nearby tables. Definitely killed the appetite. This is not affecting the rating. Rating is based solely on the cakes.

Over the past few years I have been ordering cakes and buying desserts from Sugar Blossom Bakery…read morefor several different occasions . Most recently I had a special request for a custom cake for my murder mystery (train themed) birthday party. I provided a few photos ​for a concept and shared some details about the party​ with the designer. Tracy was an absolute doll. She was able to a offer a digital rendition of a design (which was 100% spot on)​. I also asked if it was possible to have some custom sugar cookies that went along with the theme. ​She went above and beyond to accommodate my special requests. She just needed the props to add to the cake: roses, a pocket watch and a magnifying glass. On the day of the party we picked up the cake and were absolutely delighted with the artistry and her ability to create a design that matched the theme (both the cookies and the cake). Absolutely mind-blowing work. ​We set up the dessert table and every single one of my guests ​stopped to take in the beauty of her design. Everyone was so impressed as they walked past​ the cake, it was a true piece of art to be admired. Guests continued to be impressed by the custom sugar cookies. Once we served the cake, brownies, sugar cookies, and coconut macaroons, everyone was equally impressed by the quality and taste. Since the party last weekend, I've received several messages from my guests asking for the bake shop's number and complimenting their work again. Hands down this is the best bakery I have ever had the pleasure of working with, offering consistently excellent quality from start to finish. They exceeded my expectations and added a very special element to my party. I highly recommend Sugar Blossom Bakery . Thank you to their entire team for making my event one to remember.

A lot of my friends and family loved how detailed the cake was (with the Bumble Num theme) and also asked who made it. Overall, great experience.

The outside portion of the roll was tasteless. The inner portion of the roll contained cinnamon and definitely no sugar that I could taste. The inner portion was an improvement, barely. The frosting amount was so small that three fork fulls in, the frosting was exhausted. It was not sweet at all and it bore a resemblance of simply crème cheese Betty Crocker mix.

We went gloriously overboard: the open-faced salmon lox sandwich, strawberry evalope, chocolate Elfroy , and mille-feuille. The salmon sandwich was fresh and flavorful, though the cream could have been ever so slightly thicker and the ciabatta bread slightly more toasted. The strawberry evalope and chocolate Elroy were terrific: delicately crisp croissants, butter beautifully balanced, and fillings/toppings sweet but thankfully restrained from becoming sugar bombs. But the mille-feuille was utterly incredible and the reason to write this review. It was like the perfect vanilla ice-cream cone flavor transformed into 1000 crispy, buttery, flaky layers, with a restrained custard that let every texture and flavor shine. I'm not even a vanilla fan and it was pure joy. A transcendent pastry experience--and worth every calorie we pretended not to count. Five stars.
