Jenny with the Sweet Life Bakery was incredible. I absolutely LOVED my wedding cake!! It turned out so gorgeous. We met and did tastings with other bakeries in New Orleans and the Sweet Life tasted WAY better than anywhere else and the price was slightly less than elsewhere. Jenny did an incredible job. I gave her a Pinterest picture of what I wanted and she made it happen. I HIGHLY recommend this bakery!!!

First, let me say working with Jenny during the design process was great. She was quick to respond to emails, phone calls and never seemed too busy to help me pick out the cake. I was grateful for this...I hate to leave bad reviews but I have to be honest. 

Unfortunately, I wasted nearly 400.00 on a cake that I thought would not only be beautiful...but taste good. Jenny(the owner) was not in town when the cake was made so I do not know if this would have happened had she been there. The cake tasted absolutely horrible! It was very dry and tasted nothing like the flavors we chose. 

Not to mention, when we went in at 10am to pay off the cake balance...we were told the cake hadn't been made just yet(I asked to see it). We returned at 6:45 to pick it up...it had not been refrigerated at all and the icing was so soft....it seemed as if it was melting. Touching it even gently would cause damage. It was not packaged AT ALL. A 3 tiered cake sat inside a little cardboard tray with nothing around it to hold it. The tray wasn't deep enough to at least cover the bottom tier. It was terrible how much money we spent on the cake and how it was not packaged. 

As soon as we drove off, the fondant bow fell off the cake and damaged the remaining tiers during its fall. Had the cake been refrigerated, the bow wouldn't have fallen off of the melting icing nor would the cake have been damaged. It looked terrible! I spoke with the owner as soon as we arrived at the venue and saw the cake after the bow falling, she blamed us for not bringing it back for fixing. I explained we heard the bow fall but figured it was easy to put back on(not knowing it damaged the entire cake while doing so) and the party has started and the cake needed to be there. I also told her the cake should've been refrigerated so the bow and icing wouldn't have been so soft and melted. I also asked if she could send someone to fix it as there was no time to return to her shop. She said she could not send someone 4 miles away and didn't offer to do anything else. Instead she blamed us, not her lack of preparation and craftsmanship. I sent her photos immediately after hanging up and after the party, I sent another email explaining how unhappy I was with the packaging and damage....explained how horribly dry the cake tasted...and I got no response. 

I cannot recommend this company as I have purchased and drove with over 20 couture cakes and have never had such poor packaging and damage as most cakes are refrigerated and somewhat hard when picked up to allow for travel and preserving. Do not waste your money. I got over the damage and lack of packaging but the way it tasted....what a waste of money. Extremely overpriced for what you really get!!

I ordered a custom cake from this bakery. I meet with the owner, jenny and she helped me create a beautiful cake for my birthday. When my mom brought the cake home it was more than I could of ever imagined!! The design and taste were flawless!!! From now on I know where I will be getting my pastries and cakes from!!!
