Indira The Sweet Bakery & Pastries

One of my dearest friends recently got married. My wedding gift to her was her wedding cake, and the person I trusted to make that cake special was Indira the Sweet.
The cake was stunning. The Maid of Honor literally gasped when she saw it. Hand-​made sugar orchids, dusted lightly in a purple hue to match the centerpiece florals, cascaded organically down the four-​tiered masterpiece. She sized the cake perfectly so the bride’s topper of two entwined lovebirds fit perfectly on top. It looked even better than the bride had hoped… and we all know the level of a bride’s expectations.
Many cake artists today make beautiful cakes. Indira the Sweet’s cakes are not only beautiful (or, may I say, stunning), they consistently exceed expectations when you taste them. An avid «I don’t like cake» guest at the wedding dared to take a bite of a slice of the chocolate cake with hazelnut buttercream. She proceeded to not only finish the slice, but also dug into her guest’s piece of vanilla cake (much to his dismay) and polished off another slice at the brunch the next morning.
Indira has the rare combination of being a fabulous people person, listening to your needs, customizing your order and giving you more than you hoped for; having an incredible artistic sensibility so whether you order a cake, cookies, cupcakes, or boxed goodies, you are sure to be «wow-​ed;» and having the baking skills that make biting into one of her treats a moment of bliss that leaves you satisfied yet wanting more all at the same time.
A side note — her spicy pecans are to die for. They are a great little holiday gifty to bring to a party host, folks you work with, or that person you just want to give a little something to to say «happy holidays.»
I would give more than two thumbs up to Indira the Sweet if I had them. Try her out — you will be glad you did.

We have worked with Indira of Indira the Sweet many, many times over the last 5 years and she always bakes up the most delicious cakes, brownies, candies, and desserts.
I especially love how she meets with us to talk over what we wanted and she comes up with great ideas every time. Give her a picture and she will replicate it in a fun and interesting way in cake form, it is amazing!
Plus, her prices are extremely reasonable for the city, and she delivers most anywhere in the city.
Things I would recommend:
Her wedding cakes are always gorgeous and delicious.
I love the Red Velvet cake.
I love her German chocolate cake, the cupcakes with ginger icing, the chocolate tarts, the spiced pecans are amazing (I love to give these as Christmas gifts to everyone I know), and I LOVE her jalapeño caramels!
YUMMY!
