We were very pleased with the cakes Jessica made for our two separate company events. She was very creative in designing cakes that met our special requests. The cakes were delicious and delivered on time. We will choose Lemon Tulip Cakes for our next event.

For my daughter's Sweet 16, Lemon Tulip cakes made a beautiful 3 fondant tier cake, one layer dark chocolate, another vanilla and the bottom one lemon cake, delicious! We also wanted cupcakes with zebra printed paper. Both Chocolate and Vanilla cupcakes on two stands on each side of the cake. It was beautiful. Jessica caught the essence of what we wanted. The cupcakes were perfect, just right to eat, they don't fall apart like many other cupcakes. Everyone enjoyed them and loved the lemon cake of all. I will use them again for my daughter's graduation cake.

No doubt, the cake that Jessica made for me was both lovely and very tasty (guests raved!) I wanted modern cakes with different heights on one plane and that was exactly what I got – lovely!
However, I requested and paid for 3 different flavors (red velvet, lemon, and vanilla latte/Starbucks cake) and got only red velvet. This was pretty disappointing to discover as the cake was being served. I happily raced back to the kitchen to taste the other flavors before they went out the door to the guests only to learn that it was all red velvet. I had been raving about the cakes for the past two months to guests and was really pushing the fact that I had a few choices of flavor.
I complained to Jessica and she refunded me the cost of the three flavors ($20) which frankly just wasn't the response I was looking for. I don't appreciate that low level of customer service. It was an important day and reimbursing money that I was owed anyway didn't quite cut the cake (pun intended). After a bit more back and forth, she refunded me my tasting fee which I sincerely only wanted out of principle and in the spirit of good customer service.
Again, I'll reiterate that the cake she did provide was very tasty, attractive, and fresh…. but I am more disappointed with her response to the situation. I think a vendor's true test is how they deal with the challenging situations, not the easy ones.

We were very pleased with Jessica's work. The cake was just as delicious at the event as it was in the tasting– incredibly moist…our guests raved about it. The design was a little different than I was expecting, but it was beautiful, (and actually probably went a little better with the overall wedding decor than what I had envisioned). Possibly because of the heat and the long travel time, the cake had a very slight leaning tower of pisa effect, but it was something only a bride would see– we got many complements on how beautiful it was. Jessica is very flexible, and was able to easily accommodate the colors and design we wanted. She was extraordinarily easy and pleasant to work with….and her prices just can't be beat.

We chose to work with Jessica because she would do multiple flavors (we chose Lemon Poppyseed and Chocolate Cherry) and her prices were very reasonable.
First, the good: the cake was SO delicious! My husband and I scarfed down our pieces and then split a second, and then we spent our whole honeymoon talking about how tasty it was and "I wish I'd eaten more of that cake!" It was really, really delicious! I don't think I can overemphasize that.
Secondly, I loved the design of the cake – I thought it was absolutely gorgeous, and Jessica did exactly what I wanted. We had sugar flowers scattered around the tiers, and I loved the look.
The only bad thing, and the reason I have to dock a star – our cake fell over before we even got there! We were lucky that our reception coordinator was there to save the day, and she managed to rescue the top three tiers (although I could tell they were starting to slide, too, when we cut the cake). The bottom tier was taken back to the kitchen, so it was still cut up and eaten by our guests. But I am a little disappointed that our four-tier cake was knocked down to three tiers.
I can't complain too much, though, because our three-tier cake was still gorgeous, and it was so so tasty it's making my mouth water just thinking about it
I hope I have the opportunity to order more from Jessica soon!

From the start Jessica was flexible, responsive, and friendly! She worked around my busy schedule (even though i'm sure hers was just the same) and even agreed to meet me closer to my house so that I could deliver the cake topper to her to keep!
When we met for our tasting she brought all sorts of samples with her, and not just one bite of a flavor but cupcakes! It really helped to actually get a taste for the cake and icing and since I brought two people with me there was enough for everyone to try it. She explained everything thoroughly and gave suggestions based on design and decorations when I was unsure of the look I wanted. She knew what I would be happy with and I definitely was!
Jessica checked in with me a couple of weeks before the wedding date and assured me that she would work directly with the venue POC to drop off the cake and that I didn't need to worry about a thing. True to her word, the cake was brought in and set up right on time. It was decorated perfectly!
Jessica has a true talent for decorating which you can see in her designs but they also taste AMAZING! We had so many people come up to us that evening to let us know the cake was so delicious
I made sure a piece was saved for me and it was just as good as I remembered her sample cupcakes being.
I would definitely recommend to anyone I know to use Jessica, it was so nice working with her, start to finish! I will definitely be using her for special events moving forward- top notch!!!

Lemon Tulips was great! Since I was unable to get a wedding cake from her, I actually got my mom's 60th birthday cake (which was a surprise at the morning after the wedding brunch during my wedding weekend!) and it was PERFECT! I incorporated photos of my mom throughout the years with various family and friends and they were all on the three-tiered cake with decorative accents–so cute! Also, the flavors are to die for. I ate two slices just before heading to the airport for my honeymoon! Lemon Tulip was so easy to work with and friendly–I DEFINITELY plan on getting many more cakes from her in the future!

I had both a great, but yet a bad experience with Lemon Tulip Cakes. Her cakes taste amazing. They were the best that we tasted. She uses natural ingredients, such as vanilla bean instead of vanilla flavoring. The tastings we had were great, and her prices are really good.
The reason I gave 3 stars on responsiveness was that I had to remind her more than once what our order was, and also how much was due on the contract (she kept forgetting to credit us from the paid tasting).
The day of the wedding, the cake was delivered and set up as ordered (4 tiers). However, a few hours before the ceremony, the bottom layer of the cake collapsed. We would have lost the entire cake had the hotel staff not been in the ballroom, heard something snap, and then ran to catch it. (Since we were not there, we have no idea how or why the cake collapsed.) The hotel chef, who did his best to repair it, thought it was because the bottom did not have enough support columns in it. The cake was continuing to almost melt, so the hotel actually put it in the freezer to firm it up so we would have a cake to cut at the reception.
The remaining cake tasted great, but we had to have smaller slices and were left without extra cake (which I was hoping to have), and since we did two flavors, the bottom layer (the biggest portion) was our favorite flavor, so we did not have a much of that flavor available.
I negotiated a partial refund after we returned from our honeymoon, but as I learned more about the issues with the cake from my day-of coordinator, I wish I would have asked for all of my money back.
I struggle with if I would recommend the vendor to a friend – the cake is incredible, but I am hesitant given our cake collapse.

Jessica did both our bridal cake and groom's cake. We enjoyed meeting with her to come up with the designs and taste her samples. We really liked the fact that we were able to have alternating layers (red velvet and carrot) for our wedding cake and a custom flavor (vanilla with orange sprinkles) for the groom's cake. Jessica did an excellent job helping us estimate the amount of cake we needed to serve our guests. We got lots of compliments on the both the appearance and the taste of both cakes. We look forward to using her again and recommending her to friends!

My initial impression and meeting was good overall, but I was not very pleased with the final product.
The taste of the cake was fine but the design for the cake was completely off. Four days before the wedding, Jessica called me to ask me about the design of the cake and flavors since she lost all communication of what we had discussed. I wanted the cake to be blue and it came out as white. Also, we had asked for it to look like our invitation (color theme of blue and brown) but she had made the cake white on white with blue/brown ribbon on the edges. So aside from the ribbon, the cake looked nothing close to our color theme. The fondant layer was really thick as well.
I found communicating with her very difficult since it took a while for her to respond. All my other vendors had no problems responding via email. We did have less people come to the wedding and she did refund us our money for that.
I had hoped for a better cake after reading all the reviews and it's really unfortunate how our cake turned out. It looked so plain and boring that our photographer really didn't want to take any pictures of it. I guess we got what we paid for since her prices were very reasonable compared to some.
