    We were able to use Party Cakes by Shawn through a package deal with our venue, Royal Fiesta. The consultation process was great, she had a few options for cakes and designs for us to choose from. She is so easy to work with and such a sweet woman! The cake looked and tasted amazing! We got a lot of compliments on how good it was. I would definitely consider contacting for any other event we need a cake for! Thanks, Shawn!

    Shawn made a gorgeous and delicious baked cake for our wedding! Everyone loved our cake and it was the best wedding cake we have ever had! Boston creme filling was a hit!

    Shawn was a pleasure to work with. Her cakes are amazing! For our wedding we chose the vanilla cake with dulce de leche inside. Everyone complimented how tasty it was! Her homemade butter cream icing tops it off for a delicious ending to the perfect night!

    Shawn did my wedding cake about 9 months ago. I still think about the amazing job she did! The consultation was amazing, her confidences put me at ease and her experience is amazing. USE SHAWN! Not only was the cake beautiful and what we asked her to make, it was the best tasting thing i have ever had (coconut and chocolate filling). I will be contacting her soon to recreate the top tier because I miss that cake!

    Words cannot express how amazingly wonderful Shawn is! I can't even say that this was a cake that she created for our Wedding. It was by far a MASTERPIECE! From the design planning and taste testing she has been so welcoming and sweet. We have been excited about this cake for so long that the anticipation was intense. We were all dying to see the end result and I have to say Shawn blew us away!! Every idea and every detail was executed perfectly! Not to mention all the love, heart and soul she put into every inch of this beautiful work of art! Now for the taste. I've never seen a cake that beautiful that tasted just as amazing as it looked! It was by far the best cake I've ever tasted and I cannot wait until we order our next cake! I already have my bridal party requesting to be there for our first anniversary for when we break out the top tier! Shawn touched our hearts and we love her so much!

    Shawn was nothing but a delight to work with -- so sweet and flexible and down-to-earth. And the end result was absolutely scrumptious. Nothing but raves from my bride and me.

    We had a great consultation with Shawn and she was kind and flexible enough to come to our apartment so we didn't have to come to her office. However, after that point, I feel like she went MISSING. She didn't really listen to us about the decor on the cake. Also, I had asked her to provide a separate birthday cake for the wedding (for the groom as a surprise) and I never heard from her about it again, even though I tried reaching out to her several times. Needless to say, it never happened. We worked with Shawn through our caterer but if we did this all over again we most likely would use a different caterer and different cake company.

    I gave her the benefit of the doubt and boy do i regret it

    Trust me when I tell you to NOT trust her with your precious time, money and designs because she does NOT come through with them!!!!! I had called her about 3 to 4 months before the wedding day to set up a cake tasting session with her and she cancelled the first time because supposedly she was also a chef and was needed at someone's wedding in the kitchen. The second time she cancelled because she supposedly got in a car accident. The third time we finally had the cake tasting and my husband and I got super excited because the frosting, the cake, her service and the design seemed to all go beautifully together. Then I called her several times after the first tasting to give her the first payment and she took it fine. Then I tried calling her and texting her a lot after that in December to make the second payment. Guys, She finally called me back to make the final payment 3 days before the wedding day. My wedding was in Pompano and when we spoke we agreed she was supposed to deliver the cake by 3pm since the groom was to arrive at 4pm. My husband called me at 6 when the majority of the people were there already to tell me that the cake wasn't there yet. I texted her immediately because I remembered seeing reviews about her online where she took the money, never delivered the cake and ignored people's calls after that. She texted back fast saying that her cake lady was delivering it and was almost there. That gave me peace of mind and allowed me to finish getting ready for my big day. Then on that day the cake was hard to cut, it was SUPER dry and once we cut each piece, they crumbled up so no one had a nice piece of cake. The fondant on the design was wobbly as if someone put it there while drunk and the cake barely had any frosting, was bland, dry, smaller than she had told me, and none of the piped designs we had come up with were there, oh! and the cake topper was put on the middle tier because the top tier was too small. Mind you, she told me to get the cake topper in 5 inches so it would fit nicely and I did, still the cake topper was on the middle tier. I tried calling her pretty much everyday after the wedding to complain and was never able to get through to her even leaving messages. One day she finally posted a pic on insta and I decided to call her right away, and she didn't pick up so I messaged her and she texted back and even called me. Then I told her everything I just told you guys right now and SHE STARTED CRYING OVER THE PHONE. Of course I understand when people are going through stuff which she told me she was and told me to give her a week to get herself together and then to call her back after the week so she could give me the credit or see what we wanted to do. I gave her not 1 week but 2 and a half, and she reads ignores my messages, never returns back my calls and never calls me back. yet she keeps posting and reading every single thing I send her. She is irresponsible, unprofessional, is not punctual, and says that she cares about every client and every cake but she clearly does not. Stay AWAY! Save your money and use Cake Worth, DD cakes or literally ANYONE else who actually values your time, your money and your special occasions. She ruined my cake, and was the one thing that went wrong when she had promised to pay extra attention to my cake since she knew I wanted everything to go perfect. What a great actress she is, please please stay away. You don't deserve that terrible headache.

    So I actually never write reviews but I’m going to write one this time. She seems very nice the first time you meet her however she is incredibly unresponsive and unprofessional. I made calls upon calls and sent text after text and would get no response. It had gotten to a point where it was only a few weeks before my wedding and we just needed to finalize our cake so I sent her a long text message about how she never responds and that I’d keep resending the message if she didn’t respond. Long story short, she responded and then on my wedding day, I got a cake I specifically said I did not want, and a flavor I did not choose. If you have the option of choosing another company, I would do that.
