My family and I have purchased baked goods from Desserts By Dana many times, including my wedding cake. We have never been disappointed. The cakes are always super moist and delicious, the flavor choices are phenomenal, and to top it all off: the buttercream!! Honestly it is the best part of the cake and I’m not an icing fan. Dana and his crew have always been super friendly and helpful and we will continue to be customers for years to come.

We had the absolute best experience with Desserts by Dana for our wedding cake in September. From the initial tasting all the way to our wedding day, Dana was incredibly easy to work with, professional and responsive! We chose a 4-tier pink champagne cake with buttercream and filling. It was stunning and delicious. Dana completely brought my vision to life, elegant with fun pearl details. We loved that we were able to save the top tier for our first anniversary! Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how amazing the cake looked and tasted. We couldn’t recommend Desserts by Dana and his whole team more!

Had our wedding cake tasting with Chef Dana and could not have asked for a better experience. Every flavor we tried was delicious but both the carrot cake and chocolate chip was to die for. We cannot wait to celebrate at our wedding with Desserts by Dana

I ordered a coconut cake for Christmas, which is my favorite. The cake was beautiful and tasty, but there was no coconut. Just the very slightest taste of coconut in the icing between a layer. It was good but not what I wanted. Cost was $45.

Dana was amazing! The whole process of getting a wedding cake felt easy and simplified, and he made us feel welcome to be there for our cake tasting. The flavors were amazing, and I can’t wait to see the final design. I absolutely recommend Desserts by Dana for your wedding cake, and desserts in general.

Ordered the apple pie from my family members children’s school just before Thanksgiving and was completely disappointed. The flavor of the crust was great but the pie had only a thin layer of apple filling. I have never ordered a pie that was so skinny. Barely any apples present. The entire family was so excited for the pie until we opened the box. For 20$ I expected a pie that was full. I grabbed the picture my niece took..apparently she thought it was a crepe it was so thin and had a whole debate on TikTok. Save your money and buy a Patty Pie! We called some of the other parents to see if it was just us receiving thin pies and others confirmed it as well.

Desserts by Dana came through for us with a last minute request for our gender reveal cake, and it was everything we envisioned! Not only did it look perfect, but the flavor was absolutely delicious. We’re so grateful for your help in making our special day even more memorable and can’t wait to work with you again in the future!

I had a great experience at Dana’s Bakery today! The staff was incredibly nice and helpful, and they had a huge assortment of cake pop flavors to choose from. I picked up an assortment for a birthday work event, and they were a big hit with everyone. The cake pops were very moist, beautifully decorated, and the price was fantastic—especially with today’s sale. I’ll definitely be back again!
