    Best Wedding Cake, Amazing Business Experience

    When the venue pulled out of providing our wedding cake somewhat late in the wedding planning, I quickly reached out to about 10 cake bakers in the Atlanta area. Jeanine's husband had a serious health event the week I contacted her; she still reached out more quickly than many of the others with an apology (not even necessary!) for how long it took. I knew she would be a pleasure to coordinate with and she absolutely was from start to finish. Then, we received her sample box and the cake was TO DIE FOR. All of the options were so moist, fresh and flavorful. We settled on a lemon cake with lemon buttercream icing and some raspberry flavoring in the middle. It was seriously one of the best cakes I've ever tasted and we received many compliments on it. Jeanine and her husband also took great care setting it up beautifully on our cake platter and with the accent flowers provided by our florist. I look forward to ordering any special event cakes in our future from It Takes the Cake!

    It Takes The Cake's reply:

    Thaaaank you sooo much! It was such a pleasure working with you! You were just a sweet and easy client as well. Thank you very much also for taking the time to write a review for us. Using your time to help us be seen is the sweetest gift you could give us. I can't wait to work with you in the future!
    Best,
    Jeanine

    Amazing cake!

    Jeanine is amazing to work with. From the very start, she worked with me to make sure I had everything that I wanted for my wedding cake. On my wedding day, our beautiful cake was delivered and Jeanine carefully placed flowers around the cake and our cake topper. Our cake looked better than the pictures that I sent her. We ordered a larger cake and expected to have leftovers but that did not happen! Guests raved about the moist texture and some came back for seconds. At the end of the night, we were lucky we saved the top layer of the cake for our one year anniversary or else that would have been eaten too!! Thank you so much for everything!

    It Takes The Cake's reply:

    HI Megan! Yay! I'm so happy that you were all pleased! It is just such a joy to help make a brides's day. I know we look back at our wedding day with such sweet memories... I'm just glad we found each other and I got to help make yours special! I look forward to a long relationship with your family. I really appreciate your taking the time to write a review for us too. Thank you so much.

    Warm regards,
    Jeanine

    Knock Your Socks Off Good...

    It Takes the Cake was an absolute dream to work with. Jeanine went above and beyond to make sure that our vision came to fruition on our wedding day. Originally, I intended to only have our main cake made here. The process and Jeanine's lovely personality and disposition made us immediately decide to also get our groom's cake made here too. We did not regret our decision. The cakes were gorgeous and knock-your-socks off good. The cake became a buzz at the wedding and our guests were fighting to take the leftovers home. We love this vendor and insist you work with them for your events.

    It Takes The Cake's reply:

    Wow! Thank you! Susan, I am so glad we could help make your wedding day the kind of day it should be for you. I want you to know I really enjoyed working with you, and just couldn't imagine a sweeter client. Both of your cakes were a delight to make, and I am just thrilled that everyone loved them. Blessings in your life together,
    -Jeanine

    The owner is so wonderful, easy going. Great communicator, great personal work and creativity. She made me a personal chef leroy cake and a cake for my client at the time. Amazing work.

    Hi Chef Leroy! Thank you so much! It means the world to me that you think highly of me and my cakes! And YOU and your FOOD are the bomb! I look forward to a long friendship with many collaborations to come. - Jeanine

    I recently ordered an engagement cake from It Takes The Cake. The cake looked fabulous and tasted great. The guests at the party were all raving about how moist and scrumptious it was!
    Jeanine is artistic and her cake designs reflect her ability to create an edible work of art.

    It Takes The Cake's reply:

    HI Diane! It just makes my day to hear about people enjoying our cakes. Thank you so much for letting me know. Wow! Wonderful! Thank you also for taking the time to write this review. I'm looking forward!

    I have had several cakes and cupcakes made from "It Takes A Cake To Make The Party". The cakes and cupcakes were for a baptism and several birthdays. I was always pleased with the outcome. Jeanine is a fantastic artist and her cakes/cupcakes show it. The cakes/cupcakes didn't last long at our events after everyone marveled at the design they then devoured the cake/cupcakes up - they are that delicious. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me @

    The owner was sweet saw the vision and executed it. I was in a bind and she help me and delivered the cake on time to me. It was a surprise to my husband it was two red boxing gloves calling him the champ. She is amazing with such a God Gift talent and the icing fondue on top was delissh it was not cake left. And the important thing is the cakes were very moist. I would recommend her to anyone such professionalism and on time.

    It Takes The Cake's reply:

    Hi Sonya! Merry Christmas! Thank you so very much for leaving such a wonderful review! It was my pleasure!!! I'm just very glad that we could bring it out to you in all that (unusual for us) snow!

    As a member of the Wedding Industry myself, I expected nothing but the best from “It Takes The Cake”. I was not let down in the least, Jeanine was kind, courteous & very responsive. I told her what I wanted my wedding cake to be and she definitely delivered. Our cake was very elegant, delicious & exactly what we wanted!

    It Takes The Cake's reply:

    Thank you so much! You guys are definitely wonderful to work with, and I appreciate so much your taking the time to write a review. I really enjoyed making your special cake, and I look forward to celebrations in the future. :D

    Totally professional! The cake was the highlight of my daughters reception. The cake consisted of three tiers with over a 100 real roses on each layer. Jeanine owner of It Takes The Cake meticulously placed each rose and even dethorned them before putting them on the cake. Words cannot express the beauty of this cake and the graciousness of Jeanine. Not only was this cake beautiful but it was deliciously moist. I would recommend her to anyone needing a wedding cake or any cake for that matter.

    It Takes The Cake's reply:

    Thank you so much for writing this review for me/us! It's clients like you who are willing to take the time, who really make the difference for the small business. It was an honor to make her cake, and to serve your family. (I think, though, it was 100 roses on the whole cake, not each tier. LOL) But yes, it took a little time. But that is what I'm here for. Thank you again for being such a great client!

    It Takes The Cake made a beautiful Open Bible cake for my mom's 90th birthday. At first mom wasn't sure it was a birthday cake because as she said... "it's too pretty to eat". The cake was a hit with everyone and delicious! We will definitely keep Jeanine at the top of the list for our cake needs. We have recommended her often to others and will continue to do so. Great company to work with.

    It Takes The Cake's reply:

    Hi Barbara! Thank you so much for such a sweet review! I appreciate so very much your taking the time to do this for us. As always, we love to make a cake that becomes a heartwarming memory, and making that cake for your mom was a special honor for us! I'm so glad she really loved it! I look forward to many future occasions! Thank you so much! Have a wonderful 2018! - Jeanine

    My husband and I don't live in Georgia but we found Jeanine online and could not have been happier with the beautiful cake she did for our Atlanta wedding. She was always very prompt and helpful in all her email correspondence and I felt like she really listened to my ideas and vision for the wedding cake while also giving helpful suggestions based on her expertise and experience. She was also very accommodating with the tasting and dropped off delicious cupcakes on the one weekend that we both were in town. On the big day, the cake was as beautiful as it was tasty and arrived with no hitches at all. There were lots of things I had to worry about for my wedding but Jeanine's cake from It Takes the Cake was not one of them. I highly recommend her for weddings or any other event.

    It Takes The Cake's reply:

    Thank you so very much for your wonderful review of us, and for taking the time again to do it! It was truly our pleasure to get to help make your wedding day special! We pray blessings over you guys, and wish you a blessed, prosperous, and Happy 2018! I look forward to the time when we get to celebrate new little ones with you! - Jeanine

    We used It Takes The Cake in Lawrenceville. Jeanine created an amazing three tiered cake for my wife's 50th birthday. She made each layer a different one of her favorite flavors. This cake was moist, very flavorful and beautiful too! Jeanine is such a kind and thoughtful person as well as a talented artist. I highly recommend this business!

    Hi Gabe! Thank you so very much! It was my pleasure to create something she would love and to help make her day special. It just brings me such joy to know you guys were pleased. -Jeanine

    I have used It Takes the Cake for all of my cakes for the past 6 years. Every cake is an absolute work of art and far exceeds all expectations. Our wedding cake was no different. Jeanine is very easy to work with and always makes your vision become a beautiful reality. She is the only person I will ever use for all my cakes!

    My daughter’s wedding cake.
    It was just perfect. Just exactly what she wanted and I couldn’t have asked for more.  It was beautiful and tasty!
    She is easy to work with, personable, and took the time to really focus on my questions and needs.
    I would recommend her to anyone.

    Jeanine made a fantastic cake! We had a four tiered red velvet cake with gold ribbons on the bottom of each tier, and while I was nervous ordering a cake from an online only vendor, everything turned out wonderfully! The cake was moist and delicious, and everyone was complimenting how pretty it was. Jeanine did a marvelous job!

    It Takes The Cake's reply:

    HI Karissa! Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a great review for us. I enjoyed working with you very much, and it was so rewarding to see your great big smile over your cake! I look forward to many other celebrations with you, and you guys are just the bomb! Love you! - Jeanine

    It Takes The Cake made our special events cake, with the theme New Orleans!
    We loved it!
    It tasted really wonderful too! - Just like it should, with both great design and flavor!
    We will use It Takes The Cake anytime we need a special event cake!

    It Takes The Cake's reply:

    Hi Marion! Thank you so much! We enjoyed every minute of making your special cake! It was a fun theme. I know Anthony misses New Orleans sometimes.

    I absolutely adored my cakes from Jeanine! I got a lingerie cake from her for my lingerie shower and it blew me away. It turned out more beautiful than I could have imagined! She did my wedding cake as well and it was perfect. It was exactly what I wanted and absolutely beautiful. And it tasted amazing! We picked a different flavor for each of the 3 layers of the cake, and there was not a crumb left at the wedding because all our guests wanted a slice of each flavor. Everyone raved on Facebook about how good the cake was. I will be using her in the future for sure whenever I need another cake :)

    Thank you so very much for taking the time to write a review for us! Wow! Making both of your cakes just tripped my trigger! I LOVED making them.
    You guys are so sweet and were so easy to work with. Thank you again! I look forward to future celebrations (babies :D ) with you! -Jeanine
