I ran into her table at an open-air market in Solomons Island, and I'm glad that I did! She had a nice selection of sugar cookies with buttercream frosting in individual cookies, as mini cookies in a box, as well as a 'Nightmare Before Christmas' set. Ms. Tricia stated that you can always reach out to her if you are hosting an event or need customized sugar cookies for parties and get-togethers! I ended up getting the mini cookie box which had a cute fall theme. Service was very friendly and welcoming, and payment was super convenient, as they accept Venmo! +sugar cookies with buttercream frosting +customization services available +friendly staff!

Outstanding ! My company has a tradition of celebrating milestone events with cake, and today was…read moreone such milestone event. While I was on travel my colleague purchased a cake from L'Atelier and today we served it at an event. The cake itself was custom decorated including printed logos (this was a corporate event after all). I assume the printing was done on fondant, but I'm not positive. Fondant can be controversial, and if it was fondant it was definitely not an egregious amount. The presentation was exquisite; on it's own serving platter protected by a crystal clear plastic square box - NOT a clamshell - that was then secured with an elegant ribbon. It was presented almost as one would a piece of jewelry. It was accompanied with a lovely fold-out sharing some inspirational background of Founder and Chef Marie Axelle. Exceptional presentation. Now, the cake itself ? PHENOMENAL. I have enjoyed my fair share of cake in my life - this is immediately evident upon meeting me in person. In fact, my own mother used to make custom cakes when I was younger, and I have constant access to extremely high quality cuisine including yes more deserts than I really should consume. Presentation is one thing, but if the food doesn't back it up then it's just pretense and not real quality. This cake 100% backed up the presentation ! It was surprisingly moist, making me wonder if perhaps pudding was mixed in, and the icing was just perfectly sweet enough - not overly sweet. We had a large group of people enjoying this cake, with many comments on how good the cake was, and grown adults taking slices home. That's when you know it's good :) My hat is off to Ms. Axelle, and the fine cake she presented that made an important day even more special. Thank you L'Atelier for your support, and proud to support you. Sadly because this was as private event I can't include pictures ... you'll just have to order your own !

My experience with Leah was a 10/10 from start to finish…read more I submitted an order request using her online system. I immediately receive an automatic reply, letting me know that my request was received and that I could expect to hear back within 2 to 3 business days. Leah exceeded that expectation and actually got back to me within 24 hours. In her response Leah explained her plan and vision, based on the add-ons that I wanted, and even showed me how an element of our theme that I did not know how to incorporate could work on the cake. She sent back and forth examples to really narrow in the vision and provide guidance. Leah even went above and beyond to accommodate an early pick-up time since we were heading out of town with the cake. She was extremely accommodating to our special request for the cake details and the accompanying cupcakes we ordered, and consistently professional and responsive the entire time through. The final product was gorgeous and DELICIOUS. All of our guests (and us) were raving over and over about how good the cake was. So moist, great flavor, and just perfect. The cupcakes were also delicious. I absolutely loved working with Leah and will definitely be a loyal repeat customer for all of my cake and treat needs.

I never heard from them. I called, left a voicemail. I never heard back. In a panick I started looking up new bakeries in the area. I called about 10 places, including Charlene, and she was the only one to reach back out. She met with us the day of the wedding to give us the cupcakes and they were perfect. Exactly what we were looking for. My boyfriend requested to have some Halloween ones included and she was more than happy to make them. The wedding guests kept complimenting how delicious the cupcakes were. They were perfect. I wish I would've gotten a picture. Hopefully once the wedding pictures come back I'll be able to upload one. Charlene went above and beyond for us. I can't thank her enough.
