    An Artist!

    I can't even begin to describe how special and amazing our cake was! Su is the epitome of an artist. She works in her own way, so let her take the reins and you will be so happy with the end result. Not only was our wedding cake delicious, it was just stunning. Everyone was so impressed!

    The BEST cake lady around!

    We used Sue for our wedding on 10/6/18. I would highly recommend her for any occasion! We had our regular wedding cake and a special grooms cake! They were both a huge hit, and the BEST tasting cake I have ever had.

    You can tell she is a cake expert and has been doing this for years. She covered all of the bases.

    Central Ohio is so fortunate to have le Gateau!!

    I enthusiastically recommend le Gateau and Susan Larson! Post wedding reflection has made me realize that there are vendors who will offer their services as expected. But there are those other vendors who not only offer what is expected but go above and beyond and actually make a contribution that hit it out of the park! Sue was wonderful to work with and not only provided the most delicious bridal cake, she worked with us to offer our guests unique Australian desserts from the groom's home country. Her grooms cake was such a fun and delicious way to celebrate at the farewell brunch the following day. Sue's passion for her work was such a pleasure! She seemed to not only enjoy her work but enjoyed finding a way to make our daughter's wedding day personalized and special. And did I mention delicious? Her professionalism was so welcome especially when dealing with some bridal vendors that leave you wondering just what you might find at the reception. I just can't recommend Le Gateau strongly enough! We will definitely be calling Sue for any of our cake or dessert needs in the future!

    Sue was fantastic to work with. My wedding cake was beautiful and the gumpaste peony she made was a work of art. Everyone raved about how good the cake was and actually ate it!

    Our cake was such a beautiful highlight of our wedding. High quality, delicious food is a huge priority of ours, so hiring Sue was a no-brainer. Her experience was apparent, as guests raved at how incredible the cake tasted. Sue also invites potential couples to her lovely bakery studio to sample cake, and the booking process was easy and efficient.

    Sue Larson with Le Gateau was our favorite vendor for the wedding. We have already recommended Sue to all of our friends planning weddings in Ohio and we cannot wait to have her cake again at their weddings!

    From the cake tasting experience to our wedding night, we had a great time selecting designs/flavors and eating delicious cake! We have been to a few weddings and have never enjoyed a wedding cake as much as we enjoyed Sue’s. We had a 3 tier round cake with different flavors for each level including Italian cream with fresh raspberry and chocolate with fresh raspberry. Both with wild berry buttercream icing. The flavors were amazing and did not taste ridiculously sweet as we've come to know American cakes to be. Sue was not only able to accommodate our requests but she also provided us with expert advice regarding the design and flavor pairings. In addition, we planned the wedding from out of town, and Sue was able to accommodate our tastings to include one tasting for us (bride & groom) during a short trip into town and later schedule a separate tasting for our parents.

    Sue was prompt to respond to any calls and answered all the questions that we had throughout the entire wedding cake selection process. On the day of the wedding, the cake arrived on time and it looked great. The taste was out of this world. The flavors were natural with no artificial tastes. Truly, the fresh raspberries brought everything together. We had many guests come up to us after the wedding to compliment the cake and ask who was the mastermind behind it.

    Our caterer did not leave us the anniversary cake (the top tier of the wedding cake) and as soon as Sue heard about this, she immediately offered to give us a small replacement so that we can enjoy cake for our first year anniversary. We are very thankful that Sue was able to be part of our big day and we highly recommend her for all your cake needs!

    Thank you, Sue!

    Sue Larson was so great when we went to her bakery for a cake tasting. She was very knowledgable and easy to talk with. She has beautiful cakes and it seems like she can do anything as far as decorating goes. I can't wait to see what she does with our cake. The favors were also amazing and she uses fresh fruit instead of fruit fillings. Her prices are very reasonable as well.

    Sue Larsen is a one-of-a-kind lady. We really enjoyed going out to her shop to taste cake and look at our options. My husband is in sales and he was immediately sold on Sue when she told us that she had once turned down a customer who wanted a gluten-free cake because that's not what she does best and she only wants to produce the best product. She is constantly honing her craft. As of our first meeting with her, she was the only cake baker in Columbus who was doing beautiful pulled sugar ribbons that perfectly emulated the tulle of my wedding dress. She was also about to leave town for a week to go to a conference where she was planning to learn a few new skills.

    Aside from being the best in the business, the other things that set Sue and Le Gateau apart are her artistry and the fact that she will do different flavors of cake in each layer without additional charge. I shared with her pictures of my wedding dress and veil and her interpretation was absolutely stunning. She prepared 3 options in different price ranges for us to chose from. Our cake was featured prominently on entering the reception and it did not disappoint. Many of our guests commented on how beautiful the cake was during dinner, but once it was cut and served, all anyone could talk about was how good it tasted. There was very little cake left when all was said and done and we savored the last few pieces. I will probably need to invest in a lock for the freezer to ensure that the anniversary cake doesn't disappear.

    I could not be happier with Le Gateau. Sue Larson went above and beyond to make the most beautiful wedding cake I could have ever imagined. When I saw our cake my mouth dropped. She is so talented. A true artist! Would rate her 10/5 if I could!

    I decided to book Sue to make our cake after our tasting. I was heavily considering another vendor, but when I tasted her cakes and found how reasonable her pricing was, I was sold. She is truly an artist and made the most amazing sugar flowers for our cake, which we saved and plan on displaying they are so beautiful and intricate. Our cake had three different flavors and fillings all for the same fixed price so I felt like there were no hidden fee’s with Sue without the sacrifice of quality. She also was more than accommodating to add in a surprise fondant grooms cake as a surprise for my husband within the last month. Sometimes she can be slow responding through email, so I would suggest calling. She really puts her soul into each cake she makes, I feel very lucky she made mine! Our guests raved at the cake and how delicious it was. Thank you Le Gateau for making my cake as beautiful on the inside as the outside.

    We absolutely loved our wedding cake and had a great experience with Sue Larson. Our wedding cake was everything we were hoping for and more! Sue took our vision and designed an absolutely stunning cake. AND to top it off, it was delicious! My favorite layer was the white chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and fresh raspberries. Highly recommend!

    I wanted something different. No boring white wedding cake. I gave Sue a few ideas that i had, and some color schemes and what she created on our special day was something i never could have imagined. It was the most awesome wedding cake of all time. It could have won awards or been featured on a tv show!

    Throughout the entire process, Sue was professional and very considerate in meeting the exact vision we had for our wedding cake. When people think of a cake, it can be the most beautiful cake and taste horrible, but Le Gateau's six tier cake exceeded our expectations on presentation and taste. She's the complete package and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a one of a kind cake which tastes amazing and will be talked about for weeks following your event.

    I'm not usually the biggest cake fan, but after Le Gateau/Sue Larson made our wedding cake, my life was forever changed! It was one of the greatest deserts I've ever tried in my life, and I now order her cakes for every birthday! I can't get enough! The service is impeccable and the quality is top notch. Could not say enough nice things about Le Gateau and Sue Larson!

    Sue Larson is THE lady to create your wedding cake. My wedding cake not only tasted amazing, it was hands down the most beautiful and fanciest wedding cake I have ever seen. Sue is a true artist. Her skills are beyond that of most bakers I have seen. I have no doubt she could rival anyone on one of those popular cake baking shows. Our guests were raving about the taste and presentation of our cake a week after our wedding! Hire her!

    Sue Larson at Le Gateau did a wedding cake and grooms cake for me. Both were spectacular in every way - far exceeding my expectations! Our wedding was at the Columbus Museum of Art, and the room featured a giant glass sculpture by Dale Chihuly, and we wanted matching blown glass pieces on our cake - edible and made of sugar. Our wedding planner recommended Sue - the sugar glass guru - and we are so glad she did! The cake was BEAUTIFUL - a real piece of art! The sugar glass sculptures on the piece were identical to the Chihuly, and nobody could believe they were edible! I was so impressed by the work she did for the Pittsburgh Steelers that I had her do a groomscake representing my husband's favorite sports teams as well. I don't eat much cake, but I do know that fondant tastes nasty... but not Sue's! Her fondant is made of white chocolate and is to die for! We did a chocolate ganashe and fresh raspberry filling on the wedding cake and everyone at the wedding said it was the best cake they had ever tasted. I cannot recommend Le Gateau enough!

    le Gateau's reply:

    Thank you so much I loved doing your cake and am happy you were pleased. Thanks, Sue

    Amazing! The best wedding cake ever! Sue Larson does an amazing job and I would recommend her to anyone who needs a wedding cake or any other type of cake. Her flavors are amazing and her designs are beautiful. Everyone still talks about our cake and how good it was, Sue's cakes are definitely the best wedding cakes and also they are what a wedding cake should be.

    I cannot say enough about Sue from le Gateau. She was wonderful to work with from the cake tasting. She was very accomodating and made the process so easy. It was so fun to sit down with her and tell her what kind of cake we were looking for and then she 'sketched' it out for us. We loved our cake!! And the best part you did not feel like you were eating the typical wedding cake. Her cakes are delicious. She also made our favors for us, which were her FABULOUS macaroons. We have had nothing but wonderful comments from our guests pertaining to the cake and the macaroon. We are looking forward to Sue making our one year annivesary cake. Why do a frozen one when we can have her make us a fresh one.

    I have heard amazing things about le Gateau for a few years and couldn't wait to call and meet Susan. She was so very helpful with helping us chose the artwork for our wedding cake and the absolutely delicious flavors of cake (made with love with the finest ingredients). I would HIGHLY recommend le Gateau to everyone and can't wait to use her again!!!

    Susan was phenomenal! She took care to listen to all that we wanted in our UNIQUE cake, including lanterns that lit up!!! The cake is, hands down, the most delicious cake I have ever tasted. She is exceptional in her talent, and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a one-of-a-kind, remarkable cake for any occasion.
