Breathtaking AND Delicious Wedding Cake!

My wife and I chose Ruth to make our wedding cake and let me tell you it's one of the best decisions we made in the entire process! Ruth is an absolute master at her craft and our entire wedding was in awe of the end result that she created. We gave Ruth a few short sentences of the design we had in mind and she absolutely nailed it. The cake was moist, dense, and flavorful and the design was breathtaking, featuring dozens of handmade edible fondant flowers. We had not only guests but our other wedding staff tell us it was the most beautiful cake they had ever seen. We would highly recommend Ruth for any of your cake needs!

Murphy wedding

Ruth was very professional. She was on time and very kind. She was attentive to every detail and her cakes were very delicious. She even transported the cake tour wedding venue. I would definitely use and refer her in the future. Excellent service.
