Larissa's desserts were the sleeper hit of our wedding! My Husband and I got married at Roche Harbor, so the food expectations are high. However, the wedding cake and dessert bar she provided were the favorite that had everyone coming back for more! Larissa only took over By Felicitations this year, but we appreciated that she clearly has extensive baking experience. We connected with her online and visited her shop for a cake tasting, and were were highly impressed that see not only had the flavors we requested, but several others she suggested based on our requests that ended up being our favorites. She even made up a fresh mini-cake on the spot combining our favorite flavors (almond cake, raspberry compote, and lemon frosting). And the cake we got on our wedding day tasted every bit as excellent as the samples she prepared. She also realized the appearance of the cake just as we hoped, matching swirling ocean colors with a geode motif made of crystallized sugar. During the cocktail hour our guests kept coming over to tell us just how amazing our cake looked! Her dessert bar was also superb, from home-made shortbread to moist cookies and brownies. She even made a rich, creamy tiramisu that did the desert full justice. We look forward to getting more deserts from her whenever we are on island, and enjoying our cake again on our one year anniversary! read more

A handful of friends were headed to Friday Harbor for a weekend celebrating a a birthday. We called ahead and ordered a cake for our dear friend who has some dietary restrictions; Felicity listened, acknowledged, and created an absolutely beautiful AND delicious cake. Not too sweet, yet very flavorable, enjoyed by all with leftover cake to bring home. read more

We eloped at Friday Harbor House and our cake was provided by Felicitations. We received a vanilla gluten free cake with vanilla buttercream and berries. The cake looked beautiful and we were surprised by how delicious it was. Gluten free cake is hit and miss, but we found the texture to be nice and the frosting wasn't overly sweet. The berries added nice flavor and moisture to the sponge. read more

Felicity makes gorgeous cakes and treats of all kinds. If you are throwing a bash or getting married on San Juan Island - call this talented chef asap! Felicity has a delightful little baking kitchen in Friday Harbor and when you visit for your tasting, you will be greeted by her friendly old golden retriever companion who sits on the porch most days. I had the pleasure of working with Felicity at a Roche Harbor Wedding over the past weekend and she created a beautiful dessert bar and custom wedding cake for my clients. The dessert table was stunningly beautiful and more than that - it was so delicious that every bit of dessert was eaten by the end of the night and the guests were asking for more. Felicity is able to make so many different pastries and sweets and each of them is totally melt in your mouth delicious. The centerpiece of the dessert table was the chocolate and salted caramel two tier wedding cake with rustic buttercream frosting decorated with fresh flowers and grey satin ribbon. STUNNING. Felicity placed the fresh flowers on site and it turned out gorgeous!! Additionally, the she made fruit tarts, chocolate mousse cups, lemon bars, brownies, mixed berry hand pies, and passion fruit mousse tasters that were out of this world good to the last morsel. I can't say enough about what an artist Felicity is. Her presentation is beautiful. Everything she makes is delicious. She has an infectious smile and you will love everything about her. Mmmmm I can't wait to work with her again just for a bit more dessert. - Katie Aweida Owner, Creative Director - Wonderstruck Event Design read more

My sister and I celebrated her milestone birthday in Friday Harbor, and I contacted Felicity about creating a small cake with her dogs on top to surprise her. The cake was darling--even included the dogs' markings, and delicious! read more

This review hurts to write. We requested a cake for our 10 yr anniversary, basically a recreation of our wedding cake - almond cake with raspberry filling and seashells for decoration. The cake was decorated beautifully, and when I picked it up, it was apparent that she really cares about what she makes and bakes. We were really excited to eat this beautiful cake, poured champagne, and took a bunch of pictures. Unfortunately, the cake was nearly inedible - I'm not sure if it was over baked, but the cake itself was hard, dense, and dry. The fondant was a little too thick and gummy. Our 11 and 6 yr olds also didn't eat it. I didn't contact the shop owner because we were only on the island a short time. But, based on the number of five star reviews, we must have had a one-off experience. read more

The cake was beautiful on the outside but dry on the inside. A bit disappointing especially since it was so expensive.

Wow, Felicity is nice and a fantastic cake maker. In preparation for my wedding, my mom and I went to several cake places that made gluten-free cakes (I have an allergy). Felicitations, by far, was the best of all of these, even with friends who are not gluten-free (who also seriously could not tell that they were gluten-free!). Her cake was moist and delicious, and she was able to do a custom cake MIT Building 10 cake (see the pictures!). She was able to perfectly replicate the MIT dome building. We wanted pumpkin flavor and almond, and both were super delightful. I can't recommend her more! read more

My girlfriend surprised me with a weekend away in Friday Harbor for my birthday. One of the best parts of that weekend was my birthday cake from 'Cakes by Felicitations'. It was amazing! A multiple-layered chocolate cake with hints of espresso! Every layer was as tasty as any cake I've ever had. I made certain that the few pieces left over at the end of the weekend went back home with me on the ferry! The presentation was just as fabulous as the cake itself - it was beautiful. And the owner delivered it to our room at a local bed & breakfast so that it would be a total surprise. To use an overused cliche - but one that seems really appropriate - the cake from Felicitations was truly the 'icing on the cake' of a wonderful weekend! I would highly recommend this business! Note: Always check Yelp's 'Filtered Reviews.' One of the businesses I reviewed has a 1-star rating with only 1 review, but there are 5 'filtered' (hidden) reviews averaging 4.8 stars! read more

We ordered my wife's 40th birthday cake from Felicity and it was, simply, the best cake either of us had ever had. My wife is gluten-free and Felicity made an incredible GF carrot cake. It was beautiful too. We were visiting Friday Harbor for a getaway and Felicity also was super easy to work with even being out of town. I'd give her eight stars if I could. read more

The cake was beautiful and yummy! My daughter asked me to order a cake for her small Roche Harbor wedding. She only asked that it have chocolate, be simple in design and pretty.

I decided to suprise my girlfriend for her birthday to a trip to Friday Harbor. However the logistics of planning a birthday 180 miles away was quite the ordeal. Felicity made the Birthday cake planning super easy and did an AMAZING job. I wrote to Felicity via email and got an auto return email saying that she was on vacation, however a few hours later I got another reply. She took time out of her vacation to make sure my plans would work! How amazing is that? I asked for a pandabear face cake and she... through some type of awesome telepathy... pulled the exact image I had in my head and made it a reality! It was so well done I almost felt bad cutting into it! I've attached a photo. If you need a cake made, Cakes by Felicitations is the absolute best! I will have all my cakes made here from now on! read more

Felicity did a great job with our wedding cake and dessert buffet. We got loads of compliments about the blackberry-lavender pie and the passionfruit cake. She really cared about the presentation, as well, returning twice to the (not-all-that-close) wedding site to make sure the cake and desserts were set up at the proper time to avoid melting in the summer heat at our wedding. The San Juan Islands are pricey, but Felicity is worth it! read more

Cakes by Felicitations is an amazing bakery and business! We decided to have a small intimate wedding, planned in six weeks, on the San Juan Island. We found out about Felicity through several websites recommending her for a cake. Not only was I asking for a quick order, but also a speciality cake she had never heard of. Not only did she make the cake we requested, but it was amazing! It was really important to us to have this bit of tradition at our ceremony, and she made it happen! She was so kind to us! And we are very grateful! Thank you, Felicity! Your apple stack cake was delicious! read more

Felicity was spectacular. I am from the Bay Area and was trying to do a destination weddings in Friday harbor. We had planned a trip up to bang out some of the details of the wedding but I realized I forgot to look into cakes. I called felicity the day before heading up and she said she would be able to squeeze in a tasting for myself, fiancé, and his parents. The cake was great, she was so sweet. She was very receptive on ideas I had for the cake. The day of the wedding everything looked beautiful!! It tasted very good too. Lots of compliments. Thank you felicity. read more

Felicity is a total sweetheart. I called her a few days before our last-minute weekend get-away to Friday Harbor. She made a small batch of delicious and gorgeous red velvet cupcakes for my husband's birthday. She even delivered them to our B&B. The price was very reasonable. Felicity, you made our weekend so much more special, thank you for working with us. You have my heart. read more

We ordered a small 6" elopement cake from Felicity, but even though our cake was small the service we received was just as wonderful as I would imagine if we had spent far more money. The cake tasting experience was so fun, and her cakes were all so delicious it was hard to choose! We settled on an almond cake, and even though she does not normally make a cherry filling she was willing to make one for us. On the day of our wedding our cake was absolutely beautiful! It was decorated to perfection and it was so delicious. I would absolutely recommend Felicity for anyone getting married (or needing a cake for any occasion) on San Juan Island. read more

I ordered a birthday cake from Cakes by Felicitations as a surprise for a friend and we were incredibly happy with the outcome! The cake was so beautiful and tasted fantastic!

Great cake even though it was vegan. I could have downed the whole thing!

Felicity baked a really awesome cake for us. Here's the story: My girlfriend and I went to San Juan Island for her birthday. She loves orcas, so I wanted to surprise her with an orca-themed birthday cake, and Felicity created a custom cake in the shape of an orca. The cake was really a work of art, as the orca came with fins and a white underbelly. We were kind of hesitant to actually eat the cake, it was so beautiful, but it was just as good on the inside (i.e. delicious) as on the outside. My girlfriend and I enjoyed delicious cake leftovers for days. And it was delivered, free of charge and ahead of our arrival, to the hotel where we were staying. Anyway, we LOVED the cake. Thanks Felicity! read more

DELICIOUS cakes! Excellent service! Highly recommend ordering your dessert, birthday cake, most anything, from Felicity!
