A Piece of Cake and Confections

Stephanie is not just talented & professional but incredibly kind. She went above & beyond to help me when I was in a real pinch — a solution I wouldn’t have even asked for. Not only was my event saved but my faith in humanity restored! Thank you Stephanie, so very very much.

Stephanie was great. I made a very eccentric set of requests (custom cookies, gingerbread and shortbread, no nuts, in a true cellophane see through packages that could be burned without leaving a residue except ash) — and she researched and figured out how to make it all happen. Amazing.
The order was done on time, delivered to my driveway, divided into boxes that were manageable, in combustible, non-​plastic see-​through wrappers, and they were tasty. The gingerbread men and boot cookies were used to support and amuse the artists building a giant 3 story art project at Burning Man — and then to amuse, entertain, and reward the crowds that came to see it.
Stephanie’s cookies added to the whole experience — and I look forward to working with her again.

Stephanie made a classic chocolate birthday cake for my wife (who is very discerning cake baker herself) and exceeded expectations! She made it on very short notice and communicated promptly and easily to make it work. Great cake, great experience! This is a local business we will continue to support! Thanks Stephanie!

Unfortunately, I would give 0 stars if possible!
I bought the Amazon voucher ($ 5 for $ 10) and tried to use it. I called at least 10 times, spread out over a few days and different times of day (morning, noon, afternoon), and not once was my call answered. I e-​mailed the owner, Stephanie. It took her 4 days to respond even to an e-​mail! In her response, she did not answer the question I had asked in the e-​mail! I sent a follow-​up e-​mail, politely re-​asking my questions. It has now been 2 months and 2 more friendly reminders from me, and I have yet to receive any response from her.
Not sure if she is dodging me because she already got my $ 5 from Amazon, or what the deal is. Extremely annoying, unprofessional, and unreliable. I’ll edit this review if I ever hear back from her…

Update: After about 2 months of trying to reach the owner, she finally responded, bluntly, to my inquiries!
«I can mail you the truffles to you on Monday. As for cost, overnight is $ 50 «
So the total cost was $ 50 for 12 truffles! I asked if there was a cheaper way to ship them. Its been another 2 weeks and zero response! Unilocal needs to add the 0 star option! This is terrible!

With very short notice, Stephanie whipped up the most amazingly delicious birthday cake for my husband’s 40^th. Moist chocolate cake with peanut butter grenache between the layers, chocolate peanut butter frosting and decorated with the most amazing chocolate peanut butter truffles around the outside. It was a masterpiece and no one could get enough of it. Thanks, Stephanie!

We tried A Piece of Cake for the first time last week for my daughter’s birthday party. She ordered chocolate-​chocolate cupcakes, and Stephanie asked if she could add in a surprise filling (white chocolate mousse, which was light and fun — they loved it!), along with a pretty flower on top. I ordered just enough for the girls (a dozen) and Stephanie was so kind to add in a couple extra for my husband and I to try! They were so delicious! I liked that they weren’t super-​sweet, and you could taste the chocolate (I feel like some places add so much sugar, that the sweetness covers up the other ingredients.) I recommend Stephanie’s cupcakes for the quality and taste (the balance of icing to cake was perfect!), and she was very professional, accommodating, and easy to work with! And, the price was right, at $ 2.50 a cupcake!

I purchased two lemon bars, three pieces of baklava, and a piece of a white chocolate granola bar. I have not tried the granola bar yet. The lemon bars were OK. Not as flavorful or interesting as I have had other places. My son ate the baklava and he said it was a little to dry and salty. I would still like to try some of the other items she makes.

The chocolate carrot cake is amazing. My new favorite.

Stephanie is extremely professional and her baked goods are are to die for! Her baklava is one of the best I have tasted and I cannot get enough of it! You will not be sorry you did either.

We use A Piece of Cake and Confections all the time for all of our corporate and social events. She’s very easy to work with, open to suggestions, and very well priced. Her treats are out of this world!

Stephanie is a true professional. Her creativity and flexibility really set her apart. Everyone loved her yummy cookies. Would definitely recommend her!

I had Stephanie create a very fun and artistic cake for my husband’s 40^th birthday… need I say more!!! This was for sure the highlight of the party! Stephanie was so creative and flexible with ideas that were sprung on her last minute and the final presentation was just perfect. I also have to add that this cake was so delicious and moist. We ordered the lemon cake. The flavor was very fresh and homeade. Many guests came back for another piece! I would highly recommend Stephanie’s desserts for any occasion. She is very accommodating and a pleasure to work with.

I’m a repeat customer and continue to be delighted! Stephanie made me the most beautiful hand made and hand tied cookies for my open house. Her attention to detail and flavors is really something special. Her truffles are out of this world as are her cakes. I’m looking forward to ordering again soon! She does both LARGE and small individual orders and her prices are most reasonable.
