For my wedding, I knew I wanted a cake that was both delicious and aesthetically beautiful. Morever, as a general rule, I like to hire competent people who I can trust to do their craft with little micromanaging from my end. In both respects, Melanie hit the ball out of the park! Melanie made our wedding cake this past weekend—a four-tier masterpiece featuring signature chocolate, triple berry, lemon raspberry, and vanilla rose & strawberry flavors for approximately 95 guests. Nearly all of it was devoured! Each flavor was delicious and fresh, with no artificial flavoring in sight. The cakes were perfectly sweetened, just enough to accentuate their natural flavors, and had a lovely texture. The cake design was uniquely and authentically Melanie’s. Her signature style of painting florals with icing turned the cake into a piece of impressionist art. I’m already looking for excuses to order more of her cakes for future events! Melanie is wonderful to work with. I met her at her home for a private tasting with my bridesmaid. She created a warm and intimate experience, setting the tone for all our correspondence leading up to the big day. By the time my wedding arrived, I felt like she was a trusted friend. I was happy to give Melanie the freedom to do what she does best, and the result is that I got a unique and delicious cake that she had clearly put her heart into. I cannot recommend Melanie and Sweet Pea Cakery LA enough. Anyone who hires her will enjoy a cake that guests will devour and continue talking about long after the wedding ends!
