    Extremely talented artist

    My husband and I found out about Custom Cakes by Adele through our venue ( Monterre Vineyards). We were still in COVID times when we had inquired about our wedding cake and were able to get a take away box to sample. It was almost a difficult decision to choose which we wanted because each and every flavor of cake and buttercream frosting was so delicious. Adele was very professional and easy to work with. She helped us figure out exactly what we wanted. Chocolate covered strawberry's for me and oreo's for my husband. Which far exceeded our expectations. The delivery time was perfect, we were drooling just looking at the cake before we said our vows : ). All of our guests raved about how good it was and begged for some of the leftovers to take home. If you have the chance to get a cake made by Adele, expect to be impressed.

    Michelle,
    Thank you so much for the feedback and the positive review. I'm so happy that you, your husband, and your guests all loved the cake! And I'm so glad that you had a great experience working with us and enjoyed your tasting box so much. It was a pleasure working with you! Best wishes!
    Sincerely,
    Adele

    So beautiful and delicious!!

    My wedding venue posted a picture of another couple's cake that was done by Custom Cakes by Adele and I knew immediately that I wanted to book with her! Our cake was not only beautiful and perfect but it tasted amazing! We got so many compliments from our guests! Adele was easy to work with and accommodating- highly recommend to all!

    The best experience

    Adele & Team made our wedding cake. It turned out absolutely gorgeous!! It beyond exceeded our expectations and everyone RAVED about the taste. It can be scary ordering a cake for a big day and not knowing what it will look like until the day of. I truly didn’t know it was possible to make a cake as beautiful as ours was. Can’t wait to eat it again in a year 💗

    Custom Cakes by Adele's reply:

    Awww,... thank you so much for the positive review Brooke! We LOVED creating your cake with all the beautiful sugar flowers, and I'm so happy you loved the final result! Best Wishes!

    The best cake I ever had hands down!!

    This cake had everyone raving and wanting more. We had so many compliments from all our guest on how good this cake was. We had different flavor cake layer. ( coconut and almond) My husband and I could not wait till we ate our wedding cake.it was one of the highlights after saying “I DO” this cake blew everyone’s taste buds away. Words can’t not describe how good everything was and so many options to choose from. It was such a pleasure working with Adel and her husband.

    Just wow!!!

    The cake was absolutely amazing. I am not a cake person since it tends to be dry, but the cake was very moist.

    Best. Cake. Ever.

    One of our biggest wedding wishes was to have a cake that tasted amazing... and that's what we got from Adele! We were blown away from our first taste through the holiday cupcake sale and even ended up choosing one of the flavors in our cake. Both of our choices, coconut with fluffy coconut filling and chocolate with peanut butter chocolate chip filling, were big hits with the guests. We can't wait to fall in love with the cake all over again when we get to enjoy the first anniversary tier!

    Adele and Mike were a dream to work with as they are so genuine and love what they are doing. Every step of the process was easy with them and the cake never became something we stressed about. We couldn't have made a better choice!

    Thank you so much for positive review! We loved working with you and Nate, and we are so happy you were pleased with your cake. Wishing you many years of good health and happiness! - Adele

    Perfect!!!

    Adele and Mike were wonderful to work with. Our meeting beforehand and tasting were so fun and they were very helpful in creating exactly what we wanted...simple, elegant, and delicious. It was more than perfect and exceeded our expectations!! We knew it was delicious from our tasting, but I swear the cake itself tasted even better!!! Highly recommend their signature vanilla cake with vanilla bean buttercream-SO DELICIOUS!!! I can’t even count how many complements we received for both the taste and design. Thank you again!

    Thank you so much Alyssa; we are so happy to hear you loved your cake as well as the tasting experience. It was a pleasure working with you and your fiance. Best wishes! - Adele

    Cake for wedding

    Adele was amazing. It took me up to 3 weeks before my wedding I realized I wanted a 3 tier cake instead of cupcakes. She was able to recreate my design and make my cake look amazing. I had a beach themed wedding and Adele and her staff delivered. Cake was delicious would definitely recommend her to anyone!!

    Custom Cakes by Adele's reply:

    Thank you Courtney! I'm so glad you went with the cake! (You only have one chance to have a wedding cake! You can get cupcakes anytime.) You were a pleasure to work with, and I'm so happy you loved your cake! Best wishes! - Adele

    Adele made the most stunning wedding cake and boy did it taste great. Chocolate chip with whipped butter cream is the way to go!

    Beautiful, Delicious Cakes and the Nicest Team!

    I can not say enough positive things about Adele and Mike at Cakes by Adele. As soon as my husband and I went to meet them (before we even had our tasting), we knew immediately that they would be the ones who we would hire for our wedding cake. Not only are the cakes that Adele makes simply beautiful, but Mike and Adele are just the kindest people you will ever meet. They were very patient with us as we decided exactly what we wanted and provided insights into how they could help make my vision come to life without replicating exactly a picture of what I found on Pinterest. They were also very respectful about staying within our budget, which is rare in the wedding industry! As soon as we tasted the strawberry cake, we were beyond sold. It was so fresh and moist. Our guests are still raving about it 3 weeks later! We are actually thrilled to have not only the anniversary cake (which they give as a "gift), but almost our whole 2 tier cake to enjoy in the months to come!

    Thank you so much for the wonderful review Amber! You and your hubby were a joy to work with, and we loved meeting you! We wish you many years of good health and happiness! - Adele & Mike

    Delicious!

    From the moment we met Adele, she was amazing. From the tasting to the big day - everything was beyond perfect. First off - the taste of the cakes were DELICIOUS! So moist, so tasty, so everything you could ever want. My now husband and I literally made noises at how tasty they were at our meeting. We had a budget and a unique vision, and she was more than willing to work with all of it. We had 6 different cakes and flavors (1 2-tier wedding cake, 1 groom's cake, and 4 other guest cakes), and our guests raved about each one. (The butter vanilla was my favorite!) The presentation was beautiful - her sugar fall leaves were absolutely stunning and so well done. It's over a month later, and we're still hearing great reviews from our guests. We inhaled our leftover cake within a week after our wedding. She was great with communication, helping explain everything, coming up with ideas, payments... just absolutely one of our favorite vendors of the day. You won't find better in the LHV! She included directions with our top tier for preservation/freezing also. We will definitely go back to her for future cake needs!

    Thank you so much for the wonderful review Amy! You and Chris were a pleasure to work with, and we loved creating the cakes for your fall wedding. We are so glad you loved them and were happy with how they looked and tasted!

    Cake & Cupcakes 10/5/18

    Adele was wonderful to work with from the moment we decided to have her bake our cake and cupcakes for our wedding! Her cake is the BEST! I can be super indecisive and she was so helpful throughout the entire process! We decided on a cutting cake and cupcakes for our guests with multiple flavors! We received so many compliments on how delicious the cupcakes were! She also does custom sugar flowers and let me tell you it is seriously ART! THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for baking the perfect cakes and cupcakes for our big day! Book with Adele and you will not be disappointed!

    Custom Cakes by Adele's reply:

    Thank you for the feedback, Katelyn. You should know that your cake is an absolute favorite among newly engaged couples (and a favorite of ours as well!). I've had multiple brides request a version of it for their own weddings! You were a pleasure to work with, and we're so glad to hear you were happy with your cake, sugar flowers, and cupcakes! -Adele

    Adele knocked our wedding cake out of the park! It was even more beautiful than the inspiration picture I showed her and featured gorgeous handmade sugar roses. I absolutely loved all of it! On top of that, it was delicious and got numerous compliments! People are still talking about the cake from the wedding!

    Perfect in every way

    Even though I got married over a year ago, I felt the need to write a review. We cracked open the top layer to our cake that we had frozen to enjoy on our one year anniversary...it was just as good as I remembered it being at our tasting and at our wedding! I told my husband that the only anniversary gift I wanted from here on out was a cake from Adele. Working with Adele was a pleasure and the cake she made for us was beautiful. Thank you for making our day so special.

    Thank you so much for the review Katie! I'm so glad the cake was delicious even a year later!! Wishing you and your hubby many happy and healthy years ahead! -Adele

    What a find! Adele's professionalism, pricing, attention to detail, and delicious cakes can't be beat. She runs a small but extremely professional home bakery and makes some of the most delicious cakes and beautifully realistic sugar flowers I have ever seen. We purchased a romantic three tier wedding cake made with lemon pound cake, lemon curd and raspberry filling, buttercream icing, lace detailing, and Adele's signature natural sugar roses. Perfection! She even made a few extra flowers so I could decorate a small gluten free cake for my matron of honor and a few other guests. I recommend going to her house for a tasting so you can try a variety of the icing and cake options (chocolate, peanut butter, and baileys, for example) :)

    Thank you so much for the positive review! (I know this is a very belated response.) You and your family were an absolute pleasure to work with, and I loved creating your cake! It remains one of my all-time favorites, and I still have your photos posted on our wall. Best wishes to you and your husband!

    It was on a fluke that Adele was ultimately my wedding cake baker. I won a certificate from a bridal show for Granny Schmidt's, but received a call shortly before my consultation saying they could no longer work with me (due to the bake shop closing), and recommended Adele who would honor the certificate. I am happy it worked out the way it did because Adele has the best tasting cake in the Lehigh Valley. I showed her photos of exactly what I wanted and she worked with my florist to provide a beautiful wedding cake. Not sure if this is even worth mentioning, but I did think it was a little strange she didn't seem to have any interest in talking to me on my wedding day :-/ Absolutely amazing cake though, we didn't even have leftovers.

    Custom Cakes by Adele's reply:

    Hi Brittney... thank you for your review. You were a pleasure to work with, and I assure you that I did not mean to avoid you on your wedding day. I do remember smiling and saying hello, but I apologize for not spending more time talking with you. I do not use this as an excuse, but I want you to know it was not personal - my father had just been diagnosed with terminal cancer the previous week. I was struggling personally that day. We were also very concerned about the flowers going onto the cake, and my attention was focused there. However, it turned out nicely, and I'm glad you were happy with the end result.
