Deborah was wonderful from the beginning of the wedding cake process to the end. She worked with us to design a cake that was more beautiful that we could have ever imagined and fit perfectly with the whole decor of the wedding. She was so responsive with all of our questions and was a delight to work with.The cake was DELICIOUS!! We received so many compliments on how beautiful it was and how great it tasted! It was one of the best cakes we ever had and are so excited to eat it again on our first anniversary. We can't thank Deborah enough.

Deborah from City Sweets was wonderful to work with. She made us an incredibly beautiful 4 tiered wedding cake for 150 people. Two of the layers had the design of our wedding invitation and well as beautiful flowers. The cake flavors we chose were strawberry cake with chocolate filling and chocolate cake with raspberry filling. The cake was the best wedding cake I have ever tasted in my life and it was definitely a piece of art. The flowers she created were not the colors we had discussed but in the end it was much prettier that way! Put your trust in Deb as she really is an artist. She also made us a groom's cake in the design of a tux and that cake was pistachio with chocolate filling. Delicious! You will only thank yourself for booking Deb - everyone is still talking about our cakes. She is also very affordable for the incredible quality she provides. I already can't wait until our 1 year anniversary as she has told us we didn't need to save our wedding cake top because she will give us a complimentary fresh one on our anniversary. We're so looking forward to that!

Deborah is a pleasure to work with and her cakes are delicious. I received so many compliments on the cake even from people who don't like wedding cake. The cake was beautiful. I had an idea for lace and pleats made of fondant and she executed it better than I imagined. The sugar flowers were also amazing. I can't wait to have her make the top tier for me for my anniversary!

Deborah was AMAZING! First, her cake flavors are out of this world creative and super delicious. her decoration skills are classy and elegant.And she is SUPER FLEXIBLE and AMAZING! My wedding happened the weekend of Hurricane Irene. And we had to change our wedding reception venue the day before the wedding because our original venue was on a yacht. So our new venue was in Morristown, NJ and Deborah actually baked ALL NIGHT so that they could deliver the cake to my reception hall since all the bridges and tunnels were shutting down at 12pm that Saturday. So all in all, that kind of dedication cannot be bought. I love Deborah and her cakes and I thank her so much for working with us through the Hurricane!!!

The wedding cake was DELICIOUS! I generally thought that wedding cakes were a waste because they taste bad and no one eats it...until I had my own wedding cake from City Sweets. Our cake was a great price, fed 120 people and most importantly was so, so delicious. We had three cake flavors that Deb carefully helped us match to fillings and again, it was delicious! Don't waste your money on cakes that are 1-from bigger name bakers or 2-look really elaborate, but don't taste good...this is the way to go.

Deborah was phenomenal to work with. Not only was she the most personable person we had worked with, but she had also created the most delicious and beautiful wedding cake we had ever seen. We also had her create our cookie favors, and every guest requested to take home additional favors because they were so good. Deborah is the greatest, and her cake was best wedding cake we had ever tasted!

It was awesome working with Debra, from City Sweets, on our wedding cake. Debra is a true artist and is fun and easy to work with. She also worked within our budget, which was a huge plus! Not only was our wedding cake beautiful, it was delicious too!

Deborah made me the most beautiful cake for my wedding day..it truly was a piece of art and I was so proud to display it at my April wedding. She was so pleasant to work with and really tries to create something unique that you will love! And on top of the gorgeous design with the cascading flowers, the cake itself was delicious! Thank you so much Deborah!!

City Sweets and Confections made the most beautiful birthday cake for my mother's surprise 75th birthday party. We had 30 guests and everyone was raving about the cake. Not only did it look beautiful (it was a work of art) but it tasted fantastic too. We had 3 layers and each flavor was more mouthwatering than the next. My inbox was filled with emails from guests singing the praises of Deborah's cake and asking for her phone number and email. If you are looking for a great special ocassion or wedding cake, look no further. Deborah and City Sweets are the answer.

Deborah produced an absolutely beautiful and delicious cake for our wedding. She was easy to work with and perfectly matched the cake we were looking for. She provided so many options, and created the cake with each layor being a different flavor combination. Amazing.

As beautiful as our wedding cake was, it was even better to eat! Our first bite of Deborah's strawberry cake with vanilla mascarpone filling and vanilla frosting was a WOW moment. Several of our friends at the wedding asked where our cake came from and told us that it was the most delicious wedding cake they had ever tasted - my husband and I could not agree more! We found ourselves craving more of the cake after the wedding.Deborah is exceptionally kind and thoughtful, as well as professional and extremely easy to work with. She helped us design a one-of-a-kind cake based on some photos we showed her, and was able to understand what we wanted before we were even able to articulate it ourselves. Deborah was also very careful and accommodating of my husband's severe nut allergy. We could not recommend her and City Sweets & Confections more highly!

Deborah from City Sweets & Confections made a Sweet 16th Birthday Cake for my niece. Not only was the cake beautiful, the cake was delicious. It was a two tiered cake with each tier a different flavor. My family and my niece's friends were in love with the cake and still talk about it. Deborah is exceptional, kind, and great at what she does. She listens to her clients needs and creates fantastic edible art. If a cake is needed for any occasion, my recommendation would be Deborah.

Deborah did a fantastic job on our wedding cake. We went back and forth about what design we wanted but Deborah was willing to provide numerous sketches of the cake. We also had a great tasting with her to determine the flavor of cake and filling. The final product was excellent and just as promised. She also baked three smaller cakes for us for birthdays of guests and a kosher-style sugar free cake for my husband's grandmother!! We heard many compliments from our guests about how good the wedding cake tasted unlike most wedding cakes that look good but don't blow you away on taste. The pricing was also very reasonable. Highly recommend City Sweets and Deborah.

Top 10 Reasons to Choose City Sweet Confections for Your Wedding Cake Needs: 10. Responsive9. Professional8. Creative7. Personable6. Compassionate5. Patient4. Stellar Product3. True Culinary and Visual Artist2. Memorable…and the number one reason to Choose City Sweet Confections for Your Wedding Cake Needs:1. PERFECTIONWe contacted many vendors who never responded to us. Those that did lacked any follow through. Deborah responded back to us promptly throughout the entire process. We knew immediately upon meeting Deborah at the first tasting that we would be hiring her to create our cake. At the onset, we were willing to sacrifice aesthetics for taste…with Deborah we didn’t have to do that. Her samples at the tasting were mind blowing. My newlywedded husband was hands-on in the entire wedding planning process, specifically with the cake design. We showed up with a rough sketch of what we envisioned and Deborah took the idea and executed the design beyond our expectations. The cake was so beautiful and beyond delicious. We have been receiving many words of praise about how scrumptious the cake was at our wedding this past November, as well as inquires about the chocolate leaves and the berries that adorned the cake. We cannot thank you enough for such a perfect and memorable cake, as well as for being such a genuine and good-natured person. We are so grateful!

Words cannot describe how thankful we are to Deborah - the cake she created for us was absolutely beautiful and beyond delicious (our wedding ur guests are still commenting on it)..it was a truly glorious evening.The design was literally exactly (!) what we envisioned. It was obvious to us that Deborah created our cake with thoughtfulness, care, creativity, and a whole lot of 'soul' - for which we are incredibly grateful. Deborah is a sweetheart and really seems to understand what a bride-to-be and groom-to-be are going through during the planning stages - and instantly put us at ease.

One word: Amazing. Two words: Book Her. Deborah was amazing very flexible and responsive in terms of flavors (ie we picked flavors that would be bad and she told me so! and i was very happy she did). Her design was perfect and exactly what her sketch looked like. And to top it all off i heard from at least half the guests that the cake was amazing (how often do you ever hear that at a wedding?). I was having a wedding on a budget and Deborah really made the cake affordable for us and tasty to boot. Do not waste any more time and book her before Oprah has her on the show and she becomes super fancy.

I ordered my wedding cake from City Sweets and couldn't be happier about how everything turned out. First of all, Deborah is one of the sweetest and sincerest people I know and I could instantly tell that she really loves what she does. Having been to quite a few cake tastings, I instantly fell in love with the flavors that Deborah presented me with, especially the three berry mousse and the strawberry cake. Her red velvet is also the best I've ever tasted. I booked her on the spot because I was confident that she can deliver. I just had my wedding and was extatic by how everything turned out. The cake looked amazing AND tasted amazing. My guests are still raving. If you need a wedding cake or a special occasion cake, go to City Sweets, you will NOT be dissapointed. One of my favorite vendors!

I'm not one to write reviews, but I thought it was appropriate in this case. Deborah was such a pleasure to work with and the cake was absolutely perfect! I approached Deborah with a pretty elaborate idea for the cake, yet we were also on a budget. She did not think twice and assured me she could pull it off - and she did! She surpassed all expectations. The cake was exactly what we wanted (it looked incredible in photographs) and tasted better than anyone ever imagined. All of our guests complimented us on the cake and wanted a second serving. In fact, someone even swiped the remaining slice that me and my husband left unattended on the table for one minute! We can't wait to have some cake again on our first anniversary which is coming up. Thank you to Deborah for making it such an enjoyable process!

As a UK based Bride to Be planning a NYC wedding, I found things fairly difficult at the beginning of my planning. However, finding vendors such as Deborah of City Sweets made things so much easier for me. From the very first email exchange Deborah was so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. She was full of ideas and suggestions and always willing try and incorporate my own ideas into something "do-able". My now husband and I were totally blown away by our wedding cake, when we arrived at our Reception venue we were amazing at what a wonderful job Deborah had done. And that was before we'd even tasted it! If you are looking for a vendor who is full of ideas, helpful and very friendly, then look no futher. I would without hesitation recommend Deborah of City Sweets, a true cake making godess :) Thank you Deb :)
