I really enjoyed working with Amanda on my daughter’s weddingcake. She is very easy to work with and never hesitated to answer any question I might have. Wedding guests raved about the lemon weddingcake with raspberry filling. Carrot cake cupcakes were liked very much as well. I highly recommend working with Amanda for any weddingcake or any other type of cake.

The most INCREDIBLE cake boss you will ever meet. Leigh is a true artist in every way. Our wedding reception treats were OFF THE CHAIN!!! Not only did our bridal cake, grooms cake, cake pops, cookies, and cupcakes look great, they tasted fantastic. Leigh took my 'Harry Potter' elegant theme ideas and turned them into art. Look no further for cake and dessert. If you want better than the best, book A Sweet Life for your event or wedding. Leigh will be the icing on your wedding/event.

I'm usually not that impressed with the taste of weddingcakes I've had at weddings I've attended, they're always just okay. Since we were not planning on having additional desserts, we wanted our weddingcake to be really delicious. Since my fiancee and I lived in different states and held a wedding in a state neither of lived in, finding a pastry chef and doing tastings was not easy. We had to try to squeeze in tastings along with hair and makeup trials during a 3-4 day trip. I scheduled 3 tastings and Leigh from A Sweet Life was the most professional, responsive, and knowledgeable. . . we learned everything we would ever need to know about wedding cakes during our tasting. She took the time to properly prepare for the tasting by having us answer some questions to determine what flavors of cake and filling we would be interested in trying and the choices were extensive. We were pretty set on carrot cake with cream cheese filling but after the tasting we chose 3 flavors: carrot with salted caramel and vanilla bean filling, marble with raspberry and blackberry filling, and hummingbird with bananas foster and vanilla bean filling as it was hard to stick to just one flavor after tasting the other flavors. The carrot cake was make just the way I like it with coconut and pineapple juice as the sweeteners. The hummingbird cake was a banana and pineapple based cake that even my brother who absolutely detests bananas liked.
The only downside was the venue didn't seem to cut the sheet cake properly. Leigh makes extra layers so the marble sheet cake had 3 layers of filling, 2 raspberry and 1 blackberry. When I was walking around during the reception mingling with guests, I noticed the cake pieces didn't look like they contained all the layers as I was seeing plates that just had one layer of filling and pieces of all different sizes. Leigh and I had discussed prescoring the sheet cake to make the exact number of servings needed after deducting the amount of servings obtained from the tiered cake. There were some guests who ended up not being able to attend but not so many to account for the large box of leftover cake plus 2 servings of each cake for me and my husband. We had a family dinner in the evening with my entire side of relatives and served the leftover cake and still had a large tupperware dish stuffed with extra cake. Not that I'm complaining about getting to enjoy more cake, I'm just disappointed the guests didn't get the full flavor profile. Both the carrot and the marble cake tasted as delicious on our wedding day as they did at our tasting (I think it tasted better than the venue's entrees) and the leftover marble cake was still moist the 2nd and 3rd days. We are looking forward to eating our hummingbird bridal tier on our first anniversary (if we can even manage to wait that long as we were talking about just eating right on the wedding night).

Amanda was so incredible! She communicated so well, and made sure my vision for my weddingcake came to life (both aesthetically, and in TASTE!) ♥️ !!! Our weddingcake was beautiful, she delivered it right in time, and she set it all up beautifully (which means a lot to a bride on her big day!)! Definitely going to keep her information for any other event/party/get together we have in the future! Such an amazing cake for the happiest day of my life! I couldn’t have asked for better, truly!

Bradford bakery outdid herself with my weddingcake!!! She made it exactly how I wanted it. Let’s not talk about the flavors and how I had just a corner of cake leftover afterwards. The guest LOVED the flavors! Thank you so much for making my special day even better.

We met with Leigh today for a tasting and hired her on the spot. Not only were the cakes delicious, but Leigh is a delight as well! I'm personally so excited to show off her handiwork at our wedding. Thanks so much, Leigh!

Amanda provided both the bride and groom cake for my wedding and my only regret is not eating more of it! Both cakes were delicious! My husband and I are having a hard time saving our top tier because we want to eat it so badly haha! Amanda was extremely professional and provided us with a very impressive tasting session, we were sold immediately! She was very easy to work with and I could not be more satisfied with the results!
