Tracy,

Thank you very much for making such a stunning cake for our wedding! We have had so many comments on how wonderful it was. 

We really appreciate the card and scratchies you left us. However we regret to inform you we only won $3. Maybe next time we will have to split it?!

-Renee & Kurt Hayward

Hi Tracy,

I would like to thank you very much for the beautiful wedding cake.

It was very delicious (and still is); and it had my favourite flowers on top – Freesias. We ate the bottom (raspberry and white chocolate) whilst in NZ and managed to take the top back with us to Singapore.

Thank you again for the wedding cake and delivering it to Lake Tekapo.

-Tina

Hi Tracy,

I just wanted to say again, how very pleased we were with the cupcakes and cake you made for us for our wedding on 11/11/11.

They were by far and away the best cake and cupcakes I have ever had in my entire life, and the design and detail work you did was incredible. I have received so much positive feedback since the wedding about the cake – It was definitely a star on the day.

If you would like a testimonial or anything like that done I would be more than happy to provide one. I have been wracking my brain trying to think of a good reason to get another cake made but alas so far, no luck. Although it is my husband’s 30th next March.
