"Jenny Jenny you're the girl for me Oh, you don't know me…read more But you make me so happy" (Tommy Tutone) Pastel prettiness will be your first reaction when you cross the threshold and enter Jenna's sweet world. Pastel colored macarons, pastel colored cupcake icings, and a pastel pink greeting of "Sweet Life" on the wall. The showcases and counters are filled with beautiful baked goods - cakes, cookies, cupcakes, cakesicles, macarons, bars, custom chocolate dipped treats, and cannolis. We had a tough time deciding what to buy, and after much deliberation chose a Brookie ($4.75) - a Blondie-ish half brownie and half cookie, and a mini blueberry cheesecake cupcake (also $4.75). They were both very good, but that Brookie was in a class of its own! It was amazing, and if you like dense, chewy, sweet, chocolatey treats, well you really need to get your sweet self over to Sweets By Jenna!

Oh, and ask Lori to show you the family cookbook she made with her mother. Very special place!

I was looking for a stunning and delicious cake for my mom's 80th birthday, and I was absolutely delighted with the result. From the moment I walked into the shop, I knew I was in the right place. Lori greeted me warmly and generously took the time to talk through exactly what I was hoping for. It was such a refreshing change from the usual "hurry up" and "good enough" experience I often encounter when searching for something that matters deeply to me, even if it may not seem as significant to the person helping. Lori was attentive to every detail in the most efficient way. She guided me through decisions without ever being pushy, offered recommendations that were perfectly suited to my needs, and ultimately created one of the most beautiful - and most delicious - cakes I've ever had. She also packaged it carefully for the three-hour drive to New Jersey and thoughtfully accounted for potential January weather complications ahead of the party. My mother was truly blown away by the piano keyboard and hydrangea flower decorations, and our guests raved about the chocolate raspberry buttercream cake, as well as the salted caramel and vanilla cupcakes. Thank you, Lori, for an exceptional bakery experience at every level.

I came across this business after searching for a different bakery to get a cake. I stopped in and…read morethe woman who greeted and helped me was extremely warm and inviting. I secured a whole lemon pound cake and 6 of their pound cups, a cool spin on cupcakes where the cake is more like the texture of a pound cake. Everything was truly amazing. You can taste the soul and love in every bite. The cakes are denser than regular bakery cake, as pound cakes should be. But they are also moist and just perfect. I loved everything we got, lemon pound cake, pound cups in the flavors of coconut (their best seller), strawberry shortcake and strawberry, lemon cheesecake with a crunch. Overall, my favorite were the coconut pound cups. I'm really loving coconut cakes right now. They are in East Hartford, which I feel like most people aren't usually in unless you live or have something specific to do there but I highly recommend taking the special trip if you want a wonderful cake. It was a great addition to our birthday celebration. I think they also ship!

Always a pleasant experience! Great customer service and cupcake are delicious! Cute little spot.read more

Hyper realistic cakes are not plentiful in Connecticut (nor does Hope from A Little Imagination…read moreCakes brand herself as such), but take a look at the shoe in the cake she made for my wife's birthday and tell me that doesn't look real! If you need a special cake for a special occasion, you need to reach out to Hope and she will work with you. Shoot her an email, and you are replied with an automated list asking for the date of the event, serving size, inspiration of images, flavor choices, and phone number. She initially requested a phone call to follow up, but we just replied back and forth and we got this thing finalized. Not only was this cake beautiful, but it was delicious - I picked a simple red velvet with vanilla buttercream, and it was done to perfection. A special cake my my special girl on her special day. Thank you, Hope!

Cake weathered the ride home like a seasoned passenger while dad and I fielded questions about why we can't eat his birthday cake before his party tomorrow. The process of requesting a cake and specifying certain parts and asking for input on others was painless and smooth. Will update with how the magnificence tastes tomorrow. Edit: Bomb cake. Very eatable and worth the calories.

She is local in West Hartford, and while has an incorporated business still bakes out of her home, which is great, because this cake was full of love. Now back to the cake.

Do NOT order from this company. I repeat, do NOT!!…read more Look at the two pictures on my review. Absolutely unacceptable. It would have been somewhat acceptable if the cake was actually tasty, but it wasn't. Everything seemed like it was going to go okay when I first contacted her because she was professional in language and response time. After my birthday, I sent the company a personal text stating the following (and I never received a response): "So the commotion of my birthday is over now but I did want to get back to you guys. (Didn't want to do it then because there was already enough going wrong) I'm contemplating writing a poor review on Yelp, but I at least wanted to let you know personally. I'd advise removing the pictures posted that aren't actually work done by Dream Cakes and Events. I chose your company due to the picture I saw posted of previous work (the "18" cake) but I see now that was false advertising. The product you provided me honestly looks nothing like the picture and you certainly cannot read the "feeling twenty fine" part. Previous reviews suggested the cake was tasty but this was not the case for me. It was extremely brittle and the icing was definitely not the whipped topping I asked for "
