My Husband and I ordered our beautiful Wedding cake from Cakes n Sweets for our Wedding at Swaneset on Saturday, September 18, 2021. Ive ordered from Cakes n Sweets many times in the past for other occasions so I knew I wanted to our order our wedding cake from there. Shiela is wonderful and quick to respond to emails. I sent Shiela reference photos of what we wanted our cake to look like and it turned out perfect! Our cake was SO beautiful and tasted amazing! We went with a 3 tiered cake for 102 guests and chose tuxedo, lemon and red velvet. All 3 flavours were delicious! We were also able

Another delicious, high quality ingredients birthday cake! So easy to order, with exceptional customer service. The cake decoration was exactly what was ordered and everyone at the party loved the taste. Its very hard to find this quality of cake (with proper buttercream and fondant youll want to eat!) anywhere in the lower mainland! Thank you!

My daughter wanted a Cake w photo of Billie Eillish on the top. The process was easy. Sent and e-mail to Cakes N Sweets w what she wanted. They responded in 24hrs a few e-mails later and a e-transfer deposit. Picked up the cake a couple weeks later-it was perfect, delicious, fresh & not too sweet.

I come here for high tea every year for my birthday. Its always such an incredible experience. From the amazing food to the friendly service theres no other way Id like to spend my birthday. The food always tastes exceptional. I order the vanilla chai and chocolate macaron and we usually order a vegetarian high tea menu. The bakery smells amazing and the decor has Parisian touch to it! I cant wait for high tea sittings to open up again here!

Weve ordered a cake for a wedding, bridal shower, and baby shower and each cake has been beautiful. The flavour is also very good. Weve gotten the strawberry cream each time for the cake and we like it because it isnt overly sweet. For our wedding we also ordered a variety of cupcakes and everyone really enjoyed them.
