"This cake is better than S#$!" Said one guest... "This cake is like a party in my mouth!" Said another... and "I have never had wedding cake I've really liked, much less wanting a second piece!" Said one male guest.... and the rave reviews went on and on... From the moment the cake was served, the surprised reactions and comments were most exciting to watch! This wedding cake was by far, leaps and bounds above, hands-down the absolute best wedding cake I've ever tasted... and I've been to a lot of weddings! After my daughter and I tasted several other cakes in our cake tasting process, La Dolce Pesca's tasting was our last and we were hoping for something better than the previous 'famed' wedding cake bakers' cakes we tasted... and with our first taste we knew we found our wedding cake baker... PJ, owner of La Dolce Pesca, had us with our first taste! My daughter and I just looked at each other, savoring that first bite of her white chocolate mousse frosting in between the layers of the moistest pink champagne cake... and we knew this was our cake! None of the others even came close... so trust me when I second what all the wedding guests were saying, this is absolutely the best wedding cake you will ever have!

PJ was very receptive to my cupcake idea. We wanted a non traditional "Cake". We had a top tier cake and the rest were different flavors of cupcakes! They were delicious!

When my fiance and I met with PJ, our two adult sons wanted to go with us. They were thinking, 'free cake.' My fiance's son was adamant that he absolutely did NOT want any kind of 'fruity stuff' in the cake. My son just wanted chocolate. (Although they sound like kids, they really are adults!) We tried three kinds of cake and even the boys LOVED it! They raved about the flavors and textures and even liked the fruit. We chose alternating layers of chocolate with chocolate cream filling and vanilla with fruit filling-and both flavors were moist and delicious. The design was beautiful with multicolors of blue fondant fading from cobalt blue on the bottom to almost white at the top. All of my friends and family raved about the look and the flavor of our cake. PJ is very talented and was great to work with. I encourage everyone to use her!

PJ was extremely helpful during the cake process. It was the BEST tasting cake I have ever had. I got plain yellow cake with plain vanilla buttercream frosting... but it was delicious! I've been craving it ever since! She made 4 vegan cupcakes for my vegan guests, and they loved those as well! I would recommend La Dolce Pesca to ANYONE and EVERYONE!

PJ made the best wedding cake ever! Literally, this is what people were telling me. People ate two or three pieces, because it was so good!

PJ was great! Our cake was so delicious! We had a three layer cake and chose two different cake flavors with buttercream frosting. We got to choose from a few different vendors for our wedding package and we are so happy we chose La Dolce Pesca. We knew right away to go with her since her cake was so moist and the buttercream frosting was amazing. She has lots to choose from and will work with any type of design you are looking for. I am already looking forward to our year anniversary when she'll make us a new top tier instead of a year old freezerburnt one!

I hated the cake. As I was getting photographed with my bridal party, I saw the lady walk by with my cake, and mentioned to my Maid of Honor, "I hope this is not my cake, that looks unfinished and it looks ugly". She agreed. I don't know what happened but the cake was horrible!!! The flowers looked like a 5 year old did them. The leaves didn't look real and the color was like a neon green, which didn't match the other colors. The cake didn't have as many flowers like I had showed her in a picture. The red flowers looked like they were smashed and didn't look finished. The fondant had cracks and wasn't smoothed out. It looked like the fondant was melting. There was also a lot of white powder left on the flowers, they weren't clean or wiped down. Furthermore, when we had to cut the cake, I was embarrassed and hoped no one noticed the ugly cake. When I saw my wedding pictures, the cake looked as ugly as I remembered it. You can even see all the poor work they did. I was extremely unhappy with the cake.

La Dolce Pesca, offers the whole package when it comes to wedding cakes….great service, affordable, delicious tasting and gorgeous too. I was a picky bride and very demanding - PJ worked patiently with me making sure all my requests were honored. When my cake made its first appearance on my wedding day it was an instant star. Not only did it look exactly how I envisioned it, but it was so yummy. I can't tell you how many compliments I got. Thanks PJ!!! I would definitely recommend her to anyone.

PJ was amazing to work with! I tried many cake bakers and hers were the best tasting by far!!! I changed my mind about a dozen times and she was so patient. The day of my cake looked exactly as I had imagined it and it tasted amazing! I am still getting compliments on it.

PJ was amazing! Our cake was huge (5 tiers) and the taste was not compromised for the size. We loved it! I also hired PJ to bake a number of our favors, which were desserts from different cultures - her cupcakes, cookies and mini apple tarts were delicious. Thanks PJ!

My sister and I had a double wedding last year and La Dolce Pesca created two AMAZING mirrored cakes! They are not only GORGEOUS but also delicious! They had huge bows on them with sparkly pendants in the middle of the bows. One cake had a red bow and the other have a brown bow... they looked amazing sitting next to each other on the cake table. The guests all raved about the flavors as well. Each cake had two flavors and they were so yummy! Thank you La Dolce Pesca! :)

My design for the cake was pretty simple, so I wasn't worried about any baker having trouble with the simple, elegant look I was going for. Instead, we spent a lot of time visiting bakeries as the "taste" of the cake was very important to us. PJ was not only able to accommodate our requests, which included flavors not listed on her website menu (Tiramisu and Chocolate Kahlua), but she was reasonably priced (more cake per square inch as her cake tiers are thicker and she counts each person's slice bigger than other bakeries) and by far the best tasting cake we tried in the whole area. The cake turned out beautifully and tasted amazing! It was the real star of our reception. I can't wait to order one for our first year anniversary!

PJ was amazing. We went into the appointment with our colors and a few ideas, and she took what we said and ran with it. We didn't really know what we were looking for except we knew we wanted cupcakes. PJ suggested we have a two tier to cut into and we are so glad she did! The cake and cupcakes matched our decor prefectly, modern with cut out circles and squares in black and red. We had three different flavors: lemon with lemon mousse, chocolate with chocolate mousse and, my personal favorite, pink champagne with white chocolate mousse! All of our guests said their cupcake was the best thing they had ever had, regardless of what flavor they chose - I believe there was actually arguing on which was better! Make sure you get more than just the first bite as a couple!

PJ was great. She was very flexible, brought tons of pictures for us to choose from, brought delicious samples, and made our experience wonderful. The day of the wedding when I looked at my cake I was blown away. It was absolutely breathtaking. I loved it and it tasted delightful! I also changed one of my flavors a few weeks before and she didn't bat an eye. She was very flexible!!! She is extremely talented!

I do not recommend using La dolce pesca for your wedding. I should of known from the beggining when we scheduled an appt with her and she never showed!! We waited outside for 1hr and she never showed up. We called and called and she never called us back and never responded to our voicemails we had left her. We finally decided to call her from a diffrent # and she answered, We confronted her with the situation and said she had never recieved any messages or missed calls(how weird...). We ended up booking her for our wedding. The cake we choose was a 5 tier white cake with champagne colored designs and Bows. Instead we got a 3tier, orange colored mess!!!!!!!!!!!

We had 2 choices for our wedding cake, that was included in our reception package. The other vendor (Roberts) did not do fondant, so we were cornered into using PJ. I met her at the eat, drink & be married event that the resort hosts. she was totally unresponsive after 2 emails and 2 voicemails. I had to get the resort involved to get her to call me back. We met for our cake tasting and I was REALLY disappointed. She had 2 flavors for us to taste. Call me crazy, but I was ready to taste 8-10 flavors. So, we just went on a whim and picked something that sounded good based on her recommendation. I had a photo of exactly what i wanted, so there was no room for error based on communication. It turned out great though. It tasted great and she did a nice job of decorating it- even adjusting our cake topper to make it more balanced.

La Dolce Pesca made an exquisite cake for my wedding.They where a pleasure to work with from the tasting and all the way through.Based on what i sampled from the tasting i went with a three tiered Vanilla cake filled with Butter cream.I loved the way it turned out.I was very beautifully designed and they set it up very nicely.It was even delivered to my home for a small fee.I highly recommend them for any kind of cake for your wedding.
