Jitterbug Sweets

Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)

“From start to finish it was an incredibly tasty process working with Jitterbug Sweets. My husband and I knew we wanted to do an alternative dessert bar for our guests and reached out to Jitterbug to begin the planning process. We started with a tasting of her many different types of chocolates and candies, deciding on different flavor and texture combos that would be allergy friendly, child friendly, and of course include our own favorites. After an hour of delicious decision making (hardest work lunch ever) we decided upon three different bites, one which Jitterbug Sweets designed especially for our wedding - a truffle featuring tart cherry cookie whipped ganache, dipped in dark. From there we determined quantity and delivery options. While we did an open buffet table, her treats would also make a great packaged gift option for guests. Overall, her treats were a hit with everyone at our reception. I'm glad we had the foresight to put a box aside for ourselves otherwise we would have been out of luck. Thank you Jitterbug for a great product and experience! Couldn't recommend her more.”

Starts at $100

Bartleby's Homemade Ice Cream

“Some people first thought I was nuts when I said I wanted ice cream cake at my wedding. But man, am I glad I did and went with Bartleby's! Why go the traditional route when you can have ice cream instead? Rachel and team were so easy to work with. I went pretty crazy on the flavors because there were so many good options. The guests absolutely loved it and said the cake was genius! Rachel also gives great tips so we didn't have any problems with it melting before it was given to our guests, and there are plenty of options for guests with dietary restrictions. If I could do it all over, I would eat more of the ice cream cake - hah!”

“So happy we decided to get our cake from Mollys cupcakes. We had our wedding in Chicago but live in NYC so the fact that Mollys had bakeries in both cities was a huge plus! They provided a free cake tasting of 6 different flavors, was very easy to work with and was priced very well compared to others I looked at. Their cupcakes/ cakes were DELICIOUS! Would highly recommend.”

“My husband and I have always loved Milk Bar cakes and they have made appearances throughout our relationship- at birthdays, our engagement, and just for fun. So it was a no-brainer that we wanted to have it as our wedding cake. We got married in Greenville, SC in October 2022 and it was so easy to arrange for them to be shipped down and arrive 2 days before the wedding. They arrived at our home and we dropped them off with our caters who placed the 6" cake on top of a 10" cake for the wedding day! It looked beautiful and our guests raved about how great it tasted. Months later, we still have guests asking where it was from! We also provided plastic to-go boxes for guests to take home the extras at the end of the night. We had 80 guests and purchased four 10" cakes and one 6" cake. Thank you Milk Bar for the easy and delicious process!”

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about the incredible baker who created my son and daughter-in-law’s wedding cake and the most stunning sweet table trays. Every detail was absolutely perfect. My son is a huge Star Wars fan, and she brought his vision to life in the most beautiful and creative way—one side of the cake was designed especially for my daughter-in-law, elegant and classic, while the other side was a surprise for my son with the perfect Star Wars touch. It was not only gorgeous but truly a work of art. The sweet table trays were equally amazing—beautifully arranged, delicious, and a huge hit with our guests. You could tell how much love, talent, and care she put into every single piece. She went above and beyond for us, and we are so grateful. If you want someone who is passionate, artistic, professional, and incredibly talented, look no further. She made their wedding truly unforgettable.”
