Rachel designed and made my wedding cake and it was perfect. She was very helpful and responsive to…read moreall questions and concerns we had. We had a very particular wedding cake in mind (carrot cake with cream cheese frosting) and it was devious. She was great the day of the wedding meeting with my husband and florist to make the cake look beautiful. I recommend her to any person who needs a cake for any occasion.

I rarely tell you to eat here…read more EAT HERE! This is a superb and excellent cake and pie bakery. The quality is the highest and the flavors and ingredients are the best. I have eaten almost every dessert they make and had a mocha almond flour butter cream cake made that I was embarrassed by how little she charged. In NYC it would have cost $100+ and her price was way below. Only one way for Louise to go; expand and raise prices commensurate to her quality and skill. Start going here before it's the biggest name in the Capitol region. She will definitely expand to Albany and become a household name.

My husband and I chose the almond cake with butter cream frosting and a caramel whipped cream filling. We also had a second cake that was chocolate with raspberry filling. These cakes were INSANELY good. The guests at the wedding loved them and multiple people told me afterward that they stole unattended pieces off other people's tables (it's really that good)! We had quite a bit left over because we ordered some extra but it was all gone by Monday morning because we couldn't stop eating it - and my wedding was Saturday night! The cakes were perfect and Louise was awesome to work with. Highly highly recommend.

I recently was able to go try out Leah's, FINALLY! It has taken me a while to get here, but I am so…read moreglad that I did. It was super cute inside! They do have tables to sit and eat at. I just wish that they had a few more as they were all occupied. It is a beautiful thing to have homemade pastry! I ordered the cinnamon bun, the eclair, the ham and Swiss roll, and the spanakopita turnover. Everything was delicious! My favorite thing was the eclair! It was by far the best declare that I've ever had in my life! And I just have to brag on it a little bit because the cream inside has real vanilla bean in it! It's not only real cream, but it's made with real vanilla bean! You can both taste it and see it in the cream once you bite into the eclair. This was just pure perfection. The least favorite thing that I had was the ham and Swiss roll. My only complaint about it really was that it was a little dry because it needed more Swiss cheese inside. It was still beautiful and flaky with a everything bagel seasoning on top and the ham was also good. Unfortunately, there was just no discernible cheese. So I missed that gooey melty center that I was looking for. I also ordered a chai latte, which they also sell as a iced latte option. It was super hot and tasted lovely! I told the girl at the register that this was my first time, she welcomed me, she answered all my questions and was super nice and accommodating. They ask you if your order is for here or to go and they offered to heat up your pastry for you either way if you were going to be eating it immediately. I thought this was a super kind and intuitive Service! See this is why I just love supporting local businesses. Many of the ones around here are top-notch and I would much rather support them than big conglomerates, monopolies and chains that don't care about their customers or quality products, they just care about profit. If you love, good pastry, then please come check out Leah's!

I don't remember when I had a more perfect chocolate cupcake, each time I've come here, the quality and service are perfect! Consistency and good service is what I look for. The attention to detail, hospitality, and kindness from Christian, the young man who works there, is exceptional. As I wrote before, the bakery shares the parking lot with the Yemeni coffee shop Shibam next door. The Yemeni coffee is just perfect with Sweet Elevation's treats, so don't miss this spot if you visit next door. I hope they can work out on doing something together. I've gotten hooked on Sweet Elevation's chocolate cupcakes. I'm having one as I write this review (these really are the freshest and best chocolate cupcakes) with some Yemeni coffee from next door - who knew how perfectly they go together. I'm very picky when it comes to cupcakes, and these are so soft, fresh, moist, fluffy, with perfect frosting with the sprinkles! Each time! It's really cute inside the cafe. What I'm most picky about is service, and I'm impressed with Christian, he's a respectful gentleman, knowledgeable, and really helpful with recommendations. Responsible, helpful, paying attention, intelligent. People my age often complain about the younger generation, they should meet Christian, our world's future is bright with young people like this. Good luck whatever you do Christian, and may you continue to shine as you do now always! Amen!

She provided us complementary cupcake flavors and filling to try. All of which were phenomenal. During the planning process she was very responsive. I did a custom style cutting cake where I showed a picture and she matched it perfectly. On the day or our wedding she came in and did the set up. The cupcakes were a hit! They were moist and the frosting wasn't overly sweet. I can't recommend this place enough! If you want to do a birthday cake they also make those, however I do recommend you book in advance since it seems like they get booked up pretty quickly from just word of mouth. There isn't a physical location like a typical bakery where you can walk in and browse, it seems like they operate out of a home.

It was so hard deciding on what to try as we wanted to take it all home. My husband thought it was the best turnover he ever had.
