Must Book Vendor!! You won't be disappointed!
From the first conversation, we knew Sweet It Is! was going to be our bakery. Lori treated us like family and gave us honest advice when we were torn between cake flavors, making the whole process feel easy and fun. She handled our last-minute changes with grace and delivered a stunning cake right on time. What really blew us away was the homemade fondant icing, it completely changed how we feel about fondant and tasted incredible. The cake itself was moist, beautifully crafted, and hands down the best wedding cake we've ever had. We're already planning our next order!

Great Cake!
Our wedding cake was amazing! We loved working with Lori. From the tasting to wedding day, communication was super easy and Lori was fantastic at guiding us through how to choose flavor combos. We went with a three tiered cake with three different flavors and our guests came up to us multiple times to share how much they enjoyed it. We were also able to add on a smaller gluten-free cake for some of our guests, which we really appreciated. I was so glad our venue packed up a few pieces so that we could enjoy our cake the next day, too!

Deliciously wonderful!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Lori from start to finish! From the very first inquiry, she was warm, professional, and attentive. The cake tasting was such a fun and memorable part of our wedding planning—every flavor was delicious, and it honestly made choosing difficult (in the best way!). On our wedding day, the cake was everything we hoped for and more. It was not only stunningly beautiful, but also incredibly moist and flavorful—our guests are still talking about it! Lori truly has a gift for creating cakes that taste just as amazing as they look. She consistently provides exceptional service, and you can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and her craft. We’re so grateful she was part of our special day and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and reliable baker!

Wedding Cake of My Dreams
Sweet It Is! was the perfect choice for our wedding cake. The cake tasting kit we picked up was incredibly convenient, and they were very responsive to our emails throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, the cake was absolutely stunning - it looked exactly like the design we had discussed, and the taste was out of this world. Our guests raved about how delicious it was, and I even got to enjoy the leftovers for a whole week after the wedding! We couldn't be happier with the service and quality from Sweet It Is!, and would highly recommend them to any couple planning their big day.
