Beautiful tasty wedding cake

I sent photos to the baker and she did not disappoint. It came out exactly how I wanted it. I went with 2 flavors almond and champagne when me and my husband went to the tasting. Everyone loved the cake. Super impressed. Will definitely be getting service from her with future cakes.

Our Tiramisu wedding cake was amazing!!!

We got married down in Clearwater on July 12th and all our other vendors told us to get a Publix cake. We did a tasting and we just didn’t like it. We searched high and low for an amazing cake and we found it!! Chef Mel makes a tiramisu cake that is out of this world. I can honestly say we only had 5 pieces of cake left at the end of the night!! Our cake was one of the many hits of our wedding. Highly recommend using Chef Mel, she was very prompt with all her responses and runs a great company.
