Amazing Cake!

Donna's cakes are amazing! Donna created the perfect cake for our wedding. We were able to do a tasting and had a difficult time choosing as all the cakes were so great. Our guests loved our wedding cake and talked about it throughout the night. We would definitely get a cake from Donna again!

Autumn at its best

We had our fall wedding at the Essex Steam Train and our cake was from Creative Cakes by Donna. We had the apple spice cake with buttercream frosting and fall colored flowers. The cake was absolutely beautiful and tasted like heaven. All our guests loved the cake and we highly recommend Donna and especially the apple spice flavor if your having a fall wedding.

Funfetti wedding cake, what could be better!?

Creative Cakes by Donna was a hit at our wedding!! We loved the buttercream frosting, it was light and fluffy and not gritty like some can be! Lots of flavors / options to play around with but we ultimately went with funfetti with a French vanilla Bavarian cream filling and it was delicious!! Donna was super easy to work with and explained the process seamlessly. We couldn’t recommend her and her team enough!
