Anita Gupta of Maliha Creations is known for her amazing Charlottesville wedding cakes and I was so…read morelucky to have her make my special deliveries for multiple events for my wedding. My guests were stunned by the beautiful designs (works of art really) and they tasted absolutely divine! The whole planning process with her was so fun and special, right from the taste testing to the time of party. The cakes were so beautiful that they really added to the decor of the events. It was magical! My only suggestion is to book her as soon as you book your venue, missing out on this opportunity with Maliha Creations would be a shame. She really is the best!

Hands down one of the easiest choices I've made regarding our wedding. Maliha Creations has so many…read moreunique choices, far more than any other cake vendor in the area. We put together an amazing selection of lavender cake with vanilla and salted caramel. It tastes just like my favorite BiRite ice cream from San Francisco! I did everything by e-mail with Anita before going in for a tasting. She has a beautiful front room with sample cakes made up. I was greeted with two beautiful china settings, coffee, water and several cake and filling options. It was so hard to narrow down the choices, but Anita is great to work with. She has wonderful recommendations. I can't wait to see our final product!

Paris made our wedding cake and it was all around incredible! Holy cow the cake was delicious --…read moremany of our guests liked it so much they had multiple slices and have continued to talk about how memorable it was. We appreciated that we were able to do multiple flavors in the cake (by tiers). We had a chocolate cake with cream cheese icing layer, a coconut cake with lime buttercream layer, and a pistachio cake with raspberry buttercream layer. I truly can't pick a favorite. The coconut cake definitely wins for most interesting and was a huge fan favorite. Beyond the flavor, the cake was beautiful!! Paris arranged flowers on the cake and made our vision come to life. Paris was wonderful to work with from start to finish. From day 1, we could tell Paris was an artist and a baker -- she sketched out cakes based on our description to help us better see what it might look like and sent us home with a big tasting box to help us pick flavors. Paris and Passionflower cakes really helped make our big day memorable and delicious!!

They had a couple of gluten free cookies of some sort, not much to satisfy anyone trying to avoid eggs or dairy. With that caveat in mind, the luscious texture of the slice I got delivered as expected, and I was glad I selected a seasonal apple flavor. You can get a slice sampler, as well as whole cakes if you order ahead.

Being the mom of a freshman who is 3hrs away learning how to navigate special days where you can't be present is new and can be a challenge. Of course I sent a care package full of treats, but I wanted her to also have something fresh. I ordered a box that came with six cupcakes, two cookies and half a dozen chocolate covered strawberries. This was a large enough box for her to share with her friends (highly doubt this happened. My girl loves sweets lol) or to keep her satisfied all weekend lol. Ordering was easy and delivery was a breeze. They checked in with me the day before to confirm the delivery time and even snapped a really cute picture of her holding her surprise. I definitely plan on visiting them in person on my next visit to the Burg. If you're looking for a few sweet treats, I'd highly recommend Sweet Joy's.

The ice…read morecream was made amazing and the service was quick but the two young men taking my order seemed very over it and not the most polite. I work at an ice cream shop myself and although it might be annoying to have someone come 20 minutes before closing I never let my smile and service fade. Getting ice cream should always be the best point of each customers day and the customer should not be leaving feeling like you were annoying the workers just by doing what the shop was made for. Love this place and the customer service is usually always great but tonight it was way off. You can tell these aren't weekend workers because no way a Monday shift got you that annoyed.

The workers looked to be about high school age and the service was just average. There are a few dairy free options, which was nice, so I tried the lemonade sorbet. Just okay. Not the best sorbet I've had. My boyfriend tried some kind of chocolate ice cream and said it was decent. He commented the scoops were a bit smaller than he expected. Price is very high for just ice cream. Kilwins is a bit cheaper and chaos is definitely a better bang for your buck. Wasn't that impressed with the flavor. Overall it's a decent place to grab ice cream but nothing amazing.

Delivery was included and I paid very little for the value I received. Communication was a breeze, I got help with every question I had, and there were no issues or hiccups with anything. I was told by many of the guests at my engagement party that my cake looked like a $1000 cake! In reality I paid less than half of that for it. Highly recommend this company and I would definitely go back for any event in the future. Tip: I ordered for 95 people, had that many at my party, and still have lots of cake left over. About 1 tier left! So just plan ahead when it comes to that if you don't want lots of extra cake.
