THANK YOU so much for the beautiful cake, it was SINFULLY DELICIOUS, Charl was soooo impressed and can’t stop raving about the texture and taste, ALL our guest had the wedding cake for dessert and we had enough to give our guests when they left along with a parcel of Cookies & Milk (which is our favourite late nite treat). The bridal couple you made were absolutely gorgeous, we took photo’s from all angles our guests were so taken with the two and once I told them to take a peek behind their backs they were in stitches, they’re our favourite part of the cake, I love carrot cake and we will be your # 1 fan’s forever I’m sure!! J The heart shaped cookies were a huge hit and very original!! We got so many compliments … a heartfelt thank you Gina for all your time and effort you put into our special day you are a CAKE GENIE for sure JLise-Marie & Marcel Villet March 2006

The heart shaped cookies where really something special and all my guests where really excited about it, something different. One very happy customer!

Ek wil jou werklik uit die diepte van my hart bedank vir puik, professionele diens. Die koek was ongelooflik en presies wat ek wou gehad het. Dit was kleurvol en mense het tot 4 keer terug gegaan om nog 'n stukkie te gaan haal. Die vrugte wat jy opgesit het, het pragtig by ons dekor gepas en het dit die mense se monde laat water deur net te kyk na dit. Een van ons vriende het elke keer tot by sy tafel gekom, omgedraai en dan maar net weer 'n stukkie gaan haal. Hy noem dit " The irrisistable cake" Ek verseker jou dat ons jou sal jou Naam nog aan vele vriende en bekendes gee, want ons weet watter soort diens jy verskaf. Nogmaals baie dankie Tania & Justin Rosser March 2006(2 tier Chocolate cake filled & covered with milk chocolate ganache & decorated with seasonal fruits in reds,oranges & yellows)Tess & Russ October 2005
