I absolutely LOVE cake. In fact I think I might be a little obsessed. If cake were a person, I think she would be my girlfriend. Anyways, I knew that I wanted to spend my wedding doing something about cake. I met with Jodi and talked over all of the details that I wanted. I wanted to try a new flavor, and she made it for me! We decided on a funfetti cake. The best part of our meeting was that I was able to pick a few different designs that I wanted on my cake and she actually drew them all right there for us! I left feeling excited and knowing that I was in good hands. When wedding day finally came, I was so happy to see my cake. It was everything I had hoped for and more. She added some extra touches to make it even more perfect. I cannot thank her enough. She is truly amazing!

I was so lucky to find Cakes by Jodi to do our wedding cake and cupcakes. I heard from so many people at the wedding how delicious they were. We actually almost didn’t book them because the samples we tasted were so dry. We were lucky though and the tasting was right in their bakery so we were able to taste a few different flavors and try different combinations. Jodi herself was also really helpful. We had a pretty simple design for the cake, and Jodi was really helpful at first by suggesting different sizes, tiers, and flavors. She was also very helpful when I was trying to figure out how to display the cupcakes at the wedding. She helped me with a really simple solution that worked so well! Our cake and cupcakes looked and tasted amazing, and we are so happy we chose them to do that for us! We would definitely recommend them!

We had ordered a special cake for our wedding in Rome…a cake that had been made in the Netherlands and transported to Italy for our special day.

I found out about Cakes by Jodi because one of my bridesmaids is getting married there in a few months and she told me that the wedding cake would come from Jodi.

I called Jodi and told her what we wanted. She was very excited and said that they had never made a cake like that. When I told her that we only had a few months before the wedding, she said that it was no problem…the cake would be there on time. And that it would be awesome to have something that was made with our country coming included in the cake.

When I saw the cake on our wedding day, I was so pleased. It was beautiful!!! The colors were so vibrant and just amazing. And it was the most delicious cake that I had ever had. The Italian bride and groom loved the cake so much that they ate all of the pieces that were left over.

I highly recommend Cakes by Jodi to anyone who is looking for a cake for any occasion. They are very professional and very talented.

We used Cakes by Jodi for our out of town wedding. We had ordered cakes, cupcakes and cookies from her before, so it was a no brainer to do another cake tasting and choose her for the job. We went to her home in Rome, just outside of Tuckahoe, for the tasting. She made for us a tray of all her cake, frosting and filling flavors. It was so hard to choose because they were all so delicious! She let us pick as many flavors as we wanted to try. When we decided what we wanted to do, she made for us a cupcake flavor chart to show the differences between each cupcake flavor and her corresponding cake flavor. It was so cool to see how she put together the flavors we picked and what the combinations were. She was very helpful and came up with a plan for us to have a small cutting cake and then have cupcakes in all the flavors we liked. She worked with me through the process of letting me know what I wanted, how many cupcakes we needed and where to mail her a cupcake tasting kit. When we went to taste the cupcakes at home, they were so good! They were soft and flavorful. We decided to order 13 of her cupcakes (3 different flavors) and a small cutting cake. We also decided to add on top a special flavor of our own. We chose caramel apple. She made us a cupcake flavor chart with all the flavors, just like before. After we placed our order, she emailed us a few times to make sure everything was ok and to ask us some questions. When the cake was ready, she sent us the directions on how to cut and store the cake. The day before the wedding, she called me up to ask me what kind of syrup I wanted to use. The syrup was for the caramel apple cupcakes. The call made me realize that she never talked to me about the money for the cake and the delivery. I thought that everything was handled, but I had no idea how much the cake was going to cost. When I called her, she was so happy to find out I was on the phone and that everything was ok. She even offered to make caramel apples for me and my husband to take home and enjoy after the wedding. Her apples were so good, I couldn’t believe it. The cake itself was so good! It was so pretty! I was so happy to work with her and I’m so happy the cake turned out as beautiful as it did. I would definitely order a cake from her again, no question.
