    Beautiful Cakes!

    We were blown away by our cake for our wedding. Walking into the reception and seeing it made us so happy. Felicity worked closely with our florist to execute our vision and it couldn't have turned out better. My husband also loves key lime pies so she did custom mini key lime pie tarts for us that all the guests were raving about. They were so delicious. We loved working with Felicity and would recommend her services to anyone getting married on the islands.

    Top notch service

    Felicity did a spectacular job with our wedding cake and cupcakes. I wanted a local San Juan Island bakery to do our wedding cake, and she came highly recommended.
    We didn’t have a tasting, everything was communicating via email and her forms. She nailed it! The almond cake was delicious and the cupcake decorating was gorgeous. They came and set up at the venue and took everything down afterwards without us even being there. We are planning on going back for an anniversary cake next year!

    Amazing cake and smores cart

    The cake was delicious and beautiful. I literally can't stop eating the leftovers! It was exactly what we asked for down to the smallest detail. The smores cart was a hit, and the homemade marshmallows were so good. Highly recommend adding the smores cart option to your wedding dessert options.

    Beautiful, tasty wedding cake

    Felicity was very professional and accommodating to our many changes given a COVID wedding plan. The final product was not only delicious, but so beautiful and perfectly captured our vision! Even though our celebration was significantly downsized, the cake added the perfect wedding touch to an intimate lovely day.

    Our wedding was a party. It was the perfect combination of food, music, location, and people. But the weirdest thing happened once we cut the cake... EVERYONE got in line and then sat back down to enjoy. Seriously, everyone. I have never seen so many people take time to eat wedding cake! It was awesome! Felicity did an amazing job of both style and flavor. We also really enjoyed the tasting experience with her as she made it so fun and letting me dream big in all that I wanted... nearly naked, sprinkles, layers, colors, flowers, etc!

    Danielle,

    Wow! Thank you so much for such a glowing review! I am so glad you and your guests enjoyed the cake and sat down to eat it - they take their cake seriously! Yay! It was such a pleasure to be a part of your party and wedding celebration. All the best to you and Stephan for a life time of happy celebrations.

    Wow, Felicity is amazing! We had a dessert bar at our wedding with a traditional wedding cake, assorted pies, doughnuts, and cheesecake. All of guests commented on how delicious everything was, and many went back for seconds or thirds. From the initial cake tasting consultation, Felicity was so friendly and easy to work with, and she really understood our vision. I would highly recommend Felicitations for any event you are planning!

    Felicity is a cake genius and artist. The cake she did was just amazing, and not to mention delicious. She is great at listening to your ideas and providing information and ideas. It was a pleasure working with her.

    I am still in awe over the cake that Felicity made for our wedding. It was so much more beautiful than I ever could've imagined and I was actually sad when it was time to cut it! And of course it tasted as good as it looked. We did two flavors and both of them were delicious! So many of our guests that I talked to the next morning couldn't stop talking about how good the cake was! And on top of that, Felicity was amazing to work with. We were lucky enough to make it up to the island for a tasting and it was such a great experience. And she was so helpful and flexible as we worked through changing guest counts. Thank you so much Felicity for making us such a gorgeous cake!!

    I was nervous about finding a baker that we would love out on San Juan Island, but Felicity was so awesome, I think we would have hired her even if we weren't getting married out at Roche Harbor! She was so wonderful to work with, plus really reasonable in her prices for both the wedding cake and cupcakes that we wanted. She worked with us to get the perfect number of servings, and set up the cake and cupcakes on beautiful silver displays. I accidently provided her with cake ribbon that was too wide, and she took it upon herself to go all over town until she could find the right one rather than trouble me the day before my wedding. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the cake and cupcakes were; it was the best desserts we've ever had!

    Felicity worked very well with me over the phone and even suggested things that I hadn't thought of. She made all our cupcakes in all our flavors in all of our colors. She added detail to our personal cake that matched the theme of the wedding. The taste of each flavor was so delicious! We were so so happy to have had her help us on our day!

    Felicity Milne is truly one of a kind! I met with her to discuss my wedding cake and even after I changed my mind multiple times, she was extremely patient with me. In addition to my cake she also brought to light my vision of a dessert buffet. I showed her a picture and she had stands made to match what I was looking for. She made a lovely dessert buffet which included truffles, passion fruit pudding in champagne flutes, hazelnut brownie bites and chocolate shells filled with white ganache and topped with fresh strawberries. The display looked beautiful but it tasted even better. After I did the tasting with Felicity, I craved the passion fruit pudding for months and I have yet to find a velvet cake that was nearly as good as my wedding cake! If you do a tasting with Felicity, you will be hooked!

    Felicity is a gem. Her desserts are delicious! She was so accommodating when my now husband and I went for our wedding cake tasting. She brainstormed different ideas at different budgets with us, which was really helpful. She also went above and beyond and set up our dessert table at our wedding, without us even asking her to do it. It was so nice to have the peace of mind that it would all be handled beautifully. We highly recommend Felicity for weddings and any other celebratory events!

    Beautiful Cakes!

    We had two cakes and both were so beautifully decorated. She was very easy to work with and was able to a wide variety of cake flavors, styles, and decorations. The cake tasting process was really fun too! her dog was there very for moral support as we selected our flavors. I will say though that our cake wasn't nearly as tasty as i was hoping. Still really good though! We also planned for 100 guests but only 80 attended. and since I didn't update her on the final guest count within a certain time frame, I still had to pay for 100 guests. It does clearly say that in the contract. So it was entirely my fault. But its still a bummer.

    Cakes by Felicitations's reply:

    Hi Kerie,
    Thank you so much for such a lovely review given you did have some issues. I am sorry you found the cake slightly disappointing - I hate to hear that since I pride myself in my flavors. But your feedback is valuable and I thank you for it. The time frame for the final headcount is a standard procedure and necessary from my prospective. However, there was a small amount still unpaid on your balance owed but I waived that as a goodwill gesture well before I saw your review.
    I enjoyed working with you so much and being a small part of your wedding day. I wish you and Eric a lifetime of happiness.

    Felicity was great because she made exactly what I wanted. The cake came out perfect, she listened to all my requests. Her flavors are also great, we had 3 flavors in our cake and our guests went back for seconds. It was delicious. I recommend her.

    The only reason I am NOT giving this vender a 5/5 is because I had fresh flowers on my cake (in between the layers). She asked me to provide these flowers (in addition to the cost of the cake, which is ok I guess). She asked me to get 75 roses, I did. When the cake arrived, there were only about 30 roses on the cake. :( I'm not sure what happened. She never phoned or messaged me about the rest of the flowers.

    Cakes by Felicitations's reply:

    I was dismayed to hear about your concern over the number of roses and you are right that I should have contacted you about them. I am so sorry I neglected to do that. My goal is to provide the best possible experience throughout the planning process and presentation of your wedding cake. It is very difficult to know the exact quantity necessary without knowing the size of bloom and I had carefully explained that fewer may be used if they were a smaller bloom. I used more than you might think but yes, there were many leftover. I left the remaining flowers at the venue so I don't know what became of them. I am thrilled you and your guests loved the cake and that you would recommend me. That means a lot and I thank you for having me be a part of your wedding day.
