Dessert Designs

Leeland did our cake for our wedding in May. It was absolutely amazing. Not only was it beautiful but I have had at least a dozen people say it was the best wedding cake they ever had and they wanted another piece but we ran out! I highly recommend dessert designs. I would also they they are very reasonable with their prices.

My best friend recently hosted a birthday party for me in my former hometown, Nashville. I wanted a truly Southern event and the cake from Dessert Designs was the highlight. The Hydrangea cake tasted as good as it looked. A white layerd-​cake with caramel in-​between. It was without question the best cake I’ve ever eaten. Everyone who had a slice agreed. The quality of the ingredients and the passion for creating something special and memorable is obvious. The reason I selected «moderate» for the price range is do the superior quality and artistry which goes into their work. There are several good bakeries in Nashville. If you want a cake your guests will never forget and tastes as good or better than it looks, Dessert Designs is the place to go. Through their website you can order several of their items to be shipped.

Dessert Designs did the cake for our July wedding. The cake was the best cake I have ever had in my entire life. And I love cake.
It was not your typical boring wedding cake that everyone has a bite of and discards. This is decadent amazing gourmet dessert. People had seconds and even thirds. Our photographer told me he does so many weddings he never bothers with the cake and even he ate this cake!
Chocolate truffle cake with caramel filling and buttery pound cake topped with marshmallow Italian buttercream frosting. And NO fondant — I hate fondant! They do all of their amazing decorating with buttercream and it’s beautiful.
I will 100% buy cakes from here for any future cake needs. I could not have asked for a more perfectly beautiful and delicious cake!

My husband and I could not have been happier with our wedding cake from Dessert Designs. It was absolutely delicious — so many guests told me, «I don’t usually eat the cake at weddings, but this is amazing!» It was super-​moist and very flavorful. This was true not only of the cake at our wedding, but also of the 9 cakes we tried at our tasting and the cake she made for our friend’s wedding a month later. Our cake also looked beautiful. I showed Leland a rustic, twig-​like design I found online, and she pulled it off perfectly. I can’t wait to break out the top tier for our 1^st anniversary!

My fiancé and I came in to their humble storefront after several of my work colleagues suggested we look here for our wedding cake. I became a fan of Dessert Designs on Facebook, and they posted about sampling a few cakes for the public this afternoon. We came in and were completely wowed – the vanilla bean cake and the chocolate truffle cakes were incredibly delicious, and the caramel icing is ridiculously delicious. It’s sweet and salty and rich and creamy – I could be smothered in the stuff and die a happy girl. We were warmly welcomed into the store and shmoozed with Leland and her husband, Steve, as they sliced us generous samples of the 3 cakes they were tasting that day and invited us to come back for an official consultation and cake tasting. They graciously answered our questions and offered us seconds on anything we wanted – though we were too full to partake! We did walk out with a single-​serve caramel cake (holy yum!!!), which, for the record, serves about 6 people.
We are excited to purchase our wedding cake from Dessert Designs – we hope our guests will leave our wedding with the sweetness of the caramel icing still lingering on their tongues!

I ordered online a cream cheese pound cake with a caramel filling. The online process was simple (they accept Pay Pal). The cake was wonderful. Not dry, moist, and great tasting. Everyone loved it. Would definitely order from them again. I only wish they shipped these, since I live out of state.

I’ve never actually been to the store (so 4 stars seems appropriate?), but I’m rating this because Firefly Grille serves one of their cakes that is ridiculously delicious. I’m a total cake snob, and this is a good chocolate caramel cake.

Dessert Designs is a west Nashville bakery good for wedding cakes and other custom baked goods. They ship all over the country and have a simple online ordering site.
