Dulce Desserts

Our cake was a hit! We always looked forward to meeting Juanita for tastings--she is so full of life and makes the tastiest cakes in Nashville. We got a ton of compliments on our cake: almond cake with strawberries and lemon curd for one layer and chocolate cake with peanut butter buttercream for the second. To. Die. For.

Amazing cake! All of my guests thought our buttercream was fondant because it was so smooth. The taste was even better. People talked about it all night. Juanita was awesome!

Dulce makes fabulously delicious cakes! The real deal! Juanita does an excellent job of helping you with your vision, and she has great ideas. Everyone loved our cakes!

Juanita is the best at what she does! Not only is she an amazing artist but she is sooo much fun! I did not want a traditional wedding cake that you see on every ad for a bakery these days. I wanted something that looked awesome and tasted just as good. I got a 3 tiered strawberry shortcake and OMGoodness was it amazing. Juanita also did a dessert bar for us with an assortment of cookies, mini cupcakes, and tarts. There was NOTHING left at all:( the only dessert me and my husband got to taste was the cake we fed to each other. I have already decided that on our 1 year anniversary when we get our anniversary cake ( mini recreation of the wedding cake that she does ) I am going to order 2 of all the other goodies we had so we actually get to eat them!

My husband and I interviewed and had tastings at several bakeries and are so thankful we chose Dulce Desserts! Juanita Lane is so friendly and personable that working with her was truly a delight! In addition, her treats are the absolute best! We had a pretty detailed order: 100 cupcakes (along with specific wrappers we requested) with 3 different flavors (including cake, frosting and fillings), plus a top cake with its own distinct flavors, a quadruple layered birthday cake and 2 different flavors of tartlets. They got them all perfect! Every single tartlet was eaten and our guests could not get enough of the cakes either! Many tried every flavor and said they were the best cupcakes and cake they ever had! My husband and I agree! The presentation was beautiful and Juanita even worked personally with our florist to ensure everything looked as perfect as it tasted. We plan to use Dulce Desserts for birthdays and holidays from now on because we know we will not find better cakes or desserts anywhere else!

Dulce Desserts has without a doubt the BEST cake in Nashville. I am so glad I went with this cake maker. At first, for some odd reason I didn't like the name or something about the shop, but once I was inside tasting my first slice of cake I realized just how wrong I'd been. Their cakes are complete works of art and I got a lot of compliments on just the look of the cake! But when it came time to eat it... oh boy. It was gone in minutes! The whole cake could serve about 75 people, and only about 50 people were eating cake, but they wanted 2 and 3 slices of the thing! We had different flavors on different layers which made it more exciting and made people want to sample each layer. I can't stress just how good this cake was -- everything made from scratch and with good ingredients, not any fake sugar or anything like that. This is literally the best cake in Nashville -- believe me! I tried cake from about 15 other cake makers at Bridal Shows and none of them even compare!

Juanita and her staff are fabulous!!! When I met her and ate her cake at a bridal show, nothing else compared! The cake was beautiful and delicious and guests still talk about it today. My husband and I are looking forward to our 1 year anniversary cake.

Oh my goodness! Our cake was to DIE for. European buttercake with buttercream, strawberries, and lemon curd. The grooms cake was out of this world - almond and chocolate cake layered with chocolate ganache and raspberry. It looked wonderful, kept wonderful, tasted divine. Juanita was a joy to work with! She took in all of our ideas and crafted a work of art. It was stunning! I can't wait for her to do any cakes or treats I need in the future. And we are already impatient for our anniversary cake!

Thanks for a wonderful cake!!!

Juanita and her staff are great. She is so fun, we really enjoyed working with her on designing our cake (which was actually really simple, but absolutely beautiful) and oh, the tastings were amazing. She has great ideas and creates delicous and beautiful cakes!

My good friends had their cake made here-and it was so good! If I hadn't had my cake already planned by the time I discovered Dulce-I would have used them! They are professional, kind, and extremely talented. melt in your mouth delicious!

We had Dulce bake various desserts for our dessert table at our wedding, and it ended up exactly how we pictured it. Everything looked wonderful, but more importantly, tasted DELICIOUS. Our main cake was beautiful -- it was almond cake with amaretto filling and vanilla butter cream frosting. I'd venture to say it is the best cake I have ever eaten. Our guests loved being able to grab multiple desserts, and the fresh fruit tartlets went FAST. Juanita and the staff at Dulce are friendly and reliable, and I will definitely be hiring Dulce for other events in the future!

My husband and I were certain we did not want fondant on our wedding cake, just heavily textured buttercream. I said that to multiple cake vendors while at a bridal show, but I was told repeatedly "Well, you haven't had OUR fondant" or "We ONLY do fondant". When I got to the Dulce booth and described what we wanted, Juanita knew exactly what I meant AND was excited about doing it. Then I tasted their cake, and wow - there was no comparison. Their buttercream icing is absolutely phenomenal. We received so many compliments on our cake, and I've been to several weddings since ours but none have had cake as delicious as ours. And to top it off, Juanita is extremely accommodating - you are not just paying for the cake but also their great service. We met with her twice for two tastings; the first was to consult and we tasted what she had on hand, and for the second tasting she prepared the flavors we specifically wanted to taste. She also helped us get the most for our money with a side cake, and even worked out a barter with the side cake for our custom cake stand (a perfect trade, as I was going to sell the stand afterward!). On the whole, Juanita is on the top of her game to work with and makes the best wedding cake I've ever had. If you are planning to go with a grocery store bakery cake because you think you can't afford a boutique bakery cake (like we were) - try Dulce Desserts before you decide.

I can summarize our experience in one word: AMAZING! The cakes were so delicious (we got both our wedding and groom's cake from Dulce) and Juanita was so much fun to work with. She was incredibly sweet and helpful and I can't wait for our 1 year anniversary so we can get a second helping! :)

I've been to over 100 weddings in my lifetime. My parents started taking us to these events from the age of 5 or 6. At these weddings over the years I have tasted some amazing food and incredible wedding cakes. And some bad ones too. But when I finally got married in 2010 at the age of 40, I wanted the best of the best for my special day. I waited long enough for this moment after all and so did my future wife. So we tasted cakes at several bakeries throughout Nashville in various price ranges. We knew Dulce was a tad more expensive than some other places but we wanted to try it anyway. And my goodness it was worth it!!! After the tasting, we knew Juanita from Dulce was the chosen one for our perfect cake. It looked amazing at the reception! But more importantly it was the best cake I have ever tasted!!! And you get a free tier of your wedding cake made fresh on the 1-year anniversary (instead of having to freeze it for a year). We can't wait!!!

Not only did our June 2010 wedding cake taste wonderful, but it was BEAUTIFUL! Juanita was able to perfectly match the 'ribbon' around the base of each tier with our wedding invitation and my reception dress. That special touch made our pictures come out that much better. Thanks! My husband and I are looking forward to our one-year anniversary cake!

Both our Wedding cake and LSU Grooms cake were amazing! I would definately recommend Juanita and Dulce Desserts to anyone. Our cake was beautiful and Juanita was awesome. You will not be disappointed!

Best red velvet cupcakes I have ever tasted!

Juanita of Dulce Desserts made the cake for our wedding, as well as some of the desserts for our rehearsal dinner. We were absolutely thrilled with the results. She did a phenomenal job! We had multiple meetings with her, including an initial consultation, a second tasting with all the flavors we were interested in trying, and a third meeting to finalize cake decoration. I brought her pictures of what I liked and she created a beautiful cake that was everything I was looking for. I love the clean look of fondant, but am not crazy about the taste or texture so she did our cake in buttercream frosting and the finish was so smooth that I had to convince my guests that it wasn't actually fondant. Not to mention that it tasted delicious - my mother-in-law is still raving! We can't wait for our one year anniversary to taste her creations again!

The Dulce team were amazing! I had tons of compliments at my Feb 2010 wedding - beautiful, yummy, etc. We discussed what I was planning for the reception & she had lots of suggestions for a cake that would compliment the location, mood, & atmosphere. I highly recommend the Dulce team! - Kristin
