Sue and her team at Awesome Sweets did an incredible job on our wedding cake! We had gotten a fun birthday cake from them in the past so already had a good opinion going in, but we were completely blown away! We had a very ambitious design in mind; a three tiered cake decorated with sculpted buttercream icing, fondant drapery, two different fillings, a fresh fruit and edible flower decor, all big enough to feed a hundred or so people. We also wanted a matching gluten-, egg-, and dairy-free cupcake bouquet for the folks in our wedding with allergies. Sue was incredible every step of the way. She walked us through each decision we needed to make on the taste and presentation, from the flavor of frosting and filling, to the tier size, offset, and position of the decor to best present the fondant folds. The only item we were asked to provide was the flowers, and there are many sites that will ship to any address in the US so it was easy for us to accomplish. We got edible roses, carnations, and herb blossoms (and took the opportunity to stock up for our bartenders signature drinks as well). The cake was delivered on time and looked absolutely stunning. The cupcakes were included as well, and made to specification with no allergens. We got so many compliments on how beautiful it all looked, and as many on how great it tasted! Everything was delicious, including the allergen-free cupcakes. Our only regret is it was all eaten, so we’ll just have to go back and get another (Non-wedding!) cake soon. Five stars all the way!

As someone with a severe tree nut allergy, and an insatiable sweet tooth, finding a nut-free bakery for our wedding was one of our top priorities as we began the wedding planning process. We were over the moon when we found Awesome Sweets in Pawtucket and from the first correspondence with Sue and her team, they were nothing but excited for us! They walked us through each step of the design process and offered so many different flavors to choose from. Sue really brought my wedding cake vision to life and took care to make sure that everything was perfect, even on the day of the wedding. The cake topper and flower placement were absolute perfection, and her attention to detail did not go unnoticed. As for the flavor, I simply could not get enough of lemon and raspberry. It got the point where I was actually stealing it off my husband’s fork! The best part was that I could enjoy our cake without having to be afraid of having dessert. For people with this allergy, this is a constant worry. I am so grateful for Awesome Sweets for making my sweet-toothed dream come to life and it will be my go-to the next time I am craving something sweet!

Interview Transcript

Hi, I'm Susan Lagasse and I'm the owner of Awesome Sweets Bakery in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Awesome Sweets is a custom cake shop, so if you see something online that you like, bring it to us. We will do everything in our power to recreate that for your special day. It's one of the things that we really pride ourselves on.

We also love making our cupcake bouquets, little bouquets of flowers. They look just like a flower. We do them in a variety of colors and flavors. Your guests are going to love them and talk about them for a really long time.

We are actually a nut-free facility. We also offer gluten-friendly options, dairy, egg, vegan options for you. So, we have you covered. We have carrot, chocolate, funfetti, strawberry white, golden yellow, and lemon.

When you come to Awesome Sweets to book a cake for your wedding, the first thing we suggest doing is getting a tasting kit. So you come into the shop, you pick it up, we send it home with you, and you decide what you like the best. And then even if that doesn't satisfy you, if you're looking for something else, we just did spice cake too, pumpkin spice in the fall. We can do peppermint in the winter. You want it? Talk to us, and we're more than willing to work with you to see what you want for your day.

Then you fill your cakes. All of our cakes are at least two layers, so it's cake, then a filling, and then more cake, more filling, and more cake. If you want it to go higher than that, you want chocolate layer with chocolate mousse, please. That's my favorite. You want to go lemon with lemon filling? Absolutely, all in the same cake or in your cupcakes. It's not a problem at all when you come with Awesome Sweets.

Your day is so special. I want you to have what you want on your day. We're not high production. We do a lot of cakes, a lot of weddings, birthdays, you know, other celebrations. But we want everybody to understand that when we're working with you, you are our priority because it should be, it's your day, and we want to make that as special for you as possible.
