Shelley is amazing!! We had a dessert bar at our wedding and all of the items were so delicious!! Our guests raved about all of the flavors. We had a mix of cakes, cupcakes, and co...
okies and all were so cute and perfect for what I envisioned my dessert table to be. I have used Shelley for other events and I recommend her 200%. Her sweets are delicious and perfectly crafted!!
Our wedding cake was absolutely stunning and it tasted amazing! We got so many compliments on our cake.
I had a small budget for my wedding cake so I decided early on to go with a well-known grocery store bakery. I was not happy at all with the lack of direction and knowledge that th...
e grocery store bakery provided; This was my first time planning a wedding and I was so lost but I figured you get what you pay for. I have passed Bliss on the McDonough square for YEARS and just knew they would be out of my budget. Even so, I decided to give them a call before making my decision. Thank God I did! Not only did I save S100, Shelly gave me professional advice that helped me make my decision easy. My cake looked exactly like the picture I sent her, if not better! I am not much of a cake person, but this cake was divine! AND this was last minute; two weeks before my wedding. I could not have picked a better bakery! I can't wait to use them in the future.
I never thought about my wedding day until my husband asked me to marry him. One of the first things that went through my head was I wanted to have a spectacular cake.
Luckily, I...
found Shelley.
She is an artist. I told her what I wanted our cake to look like and she made my imagination a reality. She is absolutely amazing!
Also, when we first ordered the cake we were under the impression that there would only be 100 people (including children) attending. Can you imagine our anxiety levels when we saw that 140 people RSVP'ed? Luckily, when we told Shelley that we needed to add a couple orders of cupcakes two weeks before the wedding, she said "No problem" and got us out of what could have been an embarrassing situation.
Shelley is absolutely AMAZING and the cake turned out GORGEOUS!
Thank you again Shelley!!
"Wow" is really the first thing that comes to mind when I think about our cakes. My husband and I chose to have 8 small dessert cakes for our reception instead of a traditional tie...
red cake. The cakes were DELICIOUS and beautiful. Our guests were so complimentary and everyone wanted to bakery's card! It was hard to save any cake to freeze! Shelley was awesome to work with. She was understanding and enthusiastic. She delivered the cakes right on time, and they were truly perfect. Thank you, Bliss!!

Bliss made my wedding cake and my husband complicated grooms cake. My husband is a sound engineer and part owner of a production so naturally he wanted a cake in the shape of his X...
32 sound board. Bliss not only made the cake but got every detailed fader, knob, and even the screws on this board. Our guest thought it was a real sound board! As for the bridal cake it was UH-MAZING! I'm a bling queen and they made my cake sparkle! I brought in a picture as a basic model of how I wanted my cake and they made it with my added ideas! They also have great cupcakes! Can't go wrong with this bakery!
Professional helpful creative through whole experience. Cake was flawless and delicuous. I will definitely use again...thanks bliss!
I remember driving by Bliss and hoping they would let me in just to see the freshly painted bakery and just maybe I could speak with someone about my wedding coming up later that F...
all as it was not open for business yet. Sure enough I met Shelley and my wedding cake dreams came alive! She sat down with me, filled my belly full of yummy cupcake samples and right then and there we designed a perfect cake! She took my ideas and used her professional experience to create a perfect confection. I knew I did not have anything to worry about on the big day! Our cake was exactly what we wanted and even tasted wonderful on our first anniversary! Needless to say, Bliss was an excellent choice and since our wedding, Shelley has created adorable and tasty cakes, cupcakes, and cake pops for many other events such as my baby shower, family birthdays, and my son's first birthday! I know many brides who chose Bliss and were very happy! The name says it all!
My experience with Bliss was wonderful from the cake tasting all the way to see our cakes on our wedding day. The owner was very professional yet sweet and warm toward us (my paren...
ts and uncle accompanied me to the tasting). We had a great time tasting the cupcakes and getting to know the owner and her business better. We were at the consultation about an hour and a half and not once did she seem annoyed with us for being so detailed. I appreciated her and her staff. My grooms cake was awesome(I gave her complete creative control over the design and process)! This place is a gem, I would recommend this bakery to any bride, give her your vision and she will take it from there!!! Thank you Bliss for helping to make our day so special!!!
Bliss was the third and final bakery I visited while trying to find the perfect wedding cake. My family is a big fan of their cupcakes and should have known the wedding cake would ...
be even better. I found a picture of a beautiful wedding cake on Pinterest and the team at Bliss was able to take the picture I gave them and make it even better for my big day. The best part of using Bliss was how stress-free the whole process was. They were so accommodating when it came to finding a cake topper, selecting a cake stand, and delivery.
Bliss made our wedding cake and not only did it taste good it looked wonderful!! They did exactly what we wanted. We loved it! It was a pleasure doing business with them because th...
ey work with you and are very nice. Their prices are very reasonable too! They have a lot of different flavors they will let you taste. Definitely worth trying out! I was very pleased! and so happy I chose them to make our wedding cake.
I couldn't have asked for a better cake vendor for my wedding than Bliss. I found a picture of the cake I wanted on their website and they made it exactly as it looked with a few m...
inor tweaks based on my preferences. They were also able to make each layer a different cake flavor, which my guests loved. And the taste! Oh my goodness was the cake super good. They wrapped our top tier and one year later, it still tasted as good as our wedding day. You can't go wrong with Shelly and her team.
My vision for THE perfect cake was portrayed & I was delighted to see it all come together just like I had planned. The best part was the grooms cake which was a surprise to him. ...
Needless to say he was speechless. I was extremely pleased with the service, quality & commitment. I would definitely recommend Bliss & hope to use them in the future!!
We just wanted to thank you for our wonderful wedding cake. It was just what I wanted and everyone loved it!
I had the most beautiful wedding cake, made by Bliss! They designed the cake perfectly for my taste. It was better than even I could have imagined. Not only was the cake GORGEOUS, ...
it tasted DELICIOUS too. Most wedding cakes are over done with not so delicious fondant, but Bliss makes an extraordinary effort to make cakes that are not only beautiful, but also tasty! I couldn't have asked for more. Thanks to Shelley and Bliss for helping make my day unforgettable!
My sister ordered a wedding cake from bliss and it was the most beautiful cake I've ever seen. With it being such a very important, stressful day I can say we didn't have to worry ...

We live in Midtown so called ahead to make an appointment for a Saturday morning. When we arrived they had no clue we were coming until they looked at the appointment book when we ...
said we had an appointment. They had classes going on, but did squeeze us in. The cupcakes for the tasting were amazing! So good! Bliss sold us by a picture on their website, so we had already picked out what style cake we wanted from the picture before we even made the appointment. We were having 150 guests, so planned a cake for 100 and groom’s cake for 25 as we were told we didn’t need to cover every guest. The cake we wanted had 5 tiers (3 cake and 2 dummy) and had to be a certain size to work with they dummy tiers. The smallest we could get fed 154 guests. We loved the look of the cake so much, so paying the extra didn’t matter and decided to go with a smaller grooms cake. We ordered a black and white cake with fuchsia flowers and a G cake topper (extra charge). Our wedding was on a Saturday. The Thursday before, I received a call from the same person who I place the order with asking if the cake was suppose to have a cake topper. I said yes a G and she asked if I was going to bring one in noting they had no record of me getting a cake topper. I told her it was part of my order that I paid for one and they were supposed to provide that. She said ok she would make one. I was unsure what that meant, but left it alone since they had a picture of the cake we were ordering all along on their website. We went with the delivery option and paid the extra charge. I gave her the venue name and my sister’s number to contact to get the final payment at delivery. My sister got a call at 4:30 (cake to be delivered at 5:30, wedding at 7:30) asking for directions to the venue and where she needed to go to drop it off. Apparently this was the time and the way to take care of this. Map questing the venue address and calling the venue (or me) prior to the day of to find out where to go to deliver it was out of the question. My sister was called 5 more times guiding them to the venue. The cake that was finally delivered was not the cake I ordered. It only had 3 tiers and the flowers were violet. What can you do at that point except just take what they delivered. When we told them that it was wrong they said oh sorry I guess we left off the 2 dummy tiers. It was written right next to where the G cake topper was written. My guess is that if you cannot read your own order form you might consider revising the form! Just a thought. She then thought it was important to tell me that I got a good deal on the dummy tiers because they had gone up on the price and were more expensive now. Not really sure why that was important, since THEY LEFT THE DUMMY TIERS OFF THE CAKE. They did reimburse me the $20 I paid for the tiers they left off, but said if I wanted the color to match exactly I should have brought a swatch in. Guess fuchsia was so hard to figure out that violet looked close. Really?? So yea a little frustrated still. Probably because I keep seeing the wrong cake in all my pictures. For $1000 I expected them to care more about providing better customer service and admit they messed up. In the end yes the cake was not what I ordered and yes they were very unprofessional during the entire process from the initial appointment to the incompetent delivery, but the actual cake was pretty, tasted great, and none of the guests knew it wasn’t right.
I had a nontraditional 2 tier cake with 100 cupcakes and it was just beautiful!! The cupcakes were gone in 60 seconds!! The cake was absolutely delicious and would recommend them t...
o everyone! Thank you so much BLISS!!
Best tasting ever. I wanted cupcakes and cake at my wedding. For Bliss, this was no problem, even when I had very specific flavors and designs. Shelly same up with a flavor and de...
