Tracy did an AMAZING job on my daughter's graduation cake! She created a beautiful cake - exactly…read morelike the picture I texted her:) and it tasted incredible. The buttercream icing was light and delicious - yes it was made with REAL butter- and Tracy used puréed strawberries in the cake batter that delivered a sweet, moist strawberry cake that was the best I've ever had. As an avid cake baker I can taste the difference - this was a scratch-made cake! I recently moved out of state and was unable to make the cake for our special day but Tracy knocked it out of the park and also hand-made each bumble bee (for our GA Tech grad:) on this adorable cake. It was a total hit - everyone loved it and she definitely exceeded my expectations! Tracy also called and texted me and was so flexible in making any changes as well as pick up arrangements. Tracy, thank you for making our daughter's college graduation party extra special

For the best in the cake business in the Atlanta area, look no further than Lush Cakery! I…read moretypically never, ever care for wedding cakes... They're usually nothing special. But cakes from this shop are crowd-favorites! Everyone at my wedding raved about the cake, even months later people still brought it up. I highly recommend this business.

We had a great time tasting cakes with our wedding planner, Jordan Flowers of Wedding Belles, and…read moreKathryn ("Kat") Steed, sole owner and cake maker at Lush Cakery in Marietta. Jordan recommended Lush Cakery to my fiancee and me (our planner does not accept kickbacks, but instead passes on any discounts she may get on to us) and that is enough praise for me. My fiancee, through her own research, noticed that Lush Cakery has had a hand in a lot of nice weddings in Atlanta. She absolutely loves the look of Lush's cakes (she describes them as beautiful, fun, and creative). I asked Kat how many weddings she did last year and she told me, if I recall correctly, 185 (all by herself!). She doesn't plan on doing that many per year going forward, but she definitely has the experience and is well known in the Atlanta wedding community. Kat moved into a cute space just off Marietta Square a couple years ago. There's a retail space, open four days a week, and a tasting room, available by appointment only. The shop can also be booked for small events like bridal and baby showers. Kat was waiting for us promptly at our appointment time. My fiancee and I were accompanied by our planner for the tasting. The tasting room was quaint and charming. It reminded my fiancee of an attractive sitting room, like something you would see on HGTV. We got to know Kat and she got to know us. She let us swipe through cake designs on her iPad while talking to us about our wedding, our tastes/visions for our cake, and how our cake would align with our wedding overall. For example, we talked about the season of our wedding, whether it's going to be indoor or outdoor, etc. These kinds of things can affect the ingredients and flavors of our wedding cake. There was a menu at the table with Lush's most popular wedding cake flavors. We tasted the following six flavors: * Salted caramel * Amaretto white chocolate red raspberry * Triple chocolate hazelnut * Grand Marnier strawberries and cream * Cinnamon * Cream cheese pound with lemon curd Kat had the first five flavors in the list above ready to go on a plate for each of us. The last one was requested by my fiancee who was interested in trying the lemon curd after seeing it on the menu. My eyes lit up as I bit into these cakes. What impressed me most about them was actually not their flavor, but their consistency. Every single slice was perfectly fluffy and moist. They were tender and delicate with good crumb. Flavor-wise, they were sweet, but not too sweet. My favorite flavors were the salted caramel and the strawberries and cream. My fiancee's favorite flavors were the amaretto white chocolate red raspberry and the triple chocolate hazelnut. My fiancee thought both the strawberry and cinnamon tasted delicious, but were a little too simple for her tastes. The cream cheese pound cake with lemon curd was outstanding, but we agreed that we liked the lighter, less dense textures of the other cakes for our wedding cake. Everything we tried tasted great, so what it really came down to here was personal preference. We want a classic, elegant looking cake so Kat suggested a traditional three-tier round cake. We'll have it decorated with flowers from our florist, Julie Coffin of Unique Floral Expressions, who is one of the rock stars of the Atlanta wedding industry and whom Kat has worked many weddings with. We chose our cake and icing flavors, along with a fun design extra, and were quoted under $700 for our cake (tax and delivery included). The cake will serve 100. We'll have more than 100 guests, but there will be other dessert options too. Kat's quote is about $200 higher than another quote we recently received, so Lush is on the higher side. However, the other quote did not include an extra design element and the Lush quote also includes a "complimentary" anniversary tier a year after our wedding. A $150 non-refundable deposit is required to secure a date. We received Kat's proposal via email quickly after our meeting. My fiancee had a question and it didn't take long for Kat to respond. All in all, this was a wonderful experience. Now we just have to make a decision! Throughout our wedding planning process so far, this has turned out to be the most difficult decision yet.

So this spot happened to pop up. They still had a paper sign so they're still kind of new. But I…read morewas walking past and I just had to go in. It's in a shopping area so there's no harking fee. But depending on what kind of day it is and because there's so much stuff around, still could be crowded. It's a very small shot but it looked like they had a lot of options. The cookies were good and the same great fresh for the most part. They even had a section where you could get cookies from a previous day before it just kind of price from what it looked like. Honestly I got a bunch of cookies. Couple chocolate chip, turtle, s'more, a bunch of. Everything I had was good. I actually share some of my co-workers and they liked them. It's a small shop, similar to like an ice cream shop. But instead of freezers full of ice cream you have rolls of cookies. A few areas to sit as well. But don't try to go there with a large group. What I thought was good. Would they also have some ice cream selections for you so you can make ice cream sandwiches. That's a plus! Overall, I didn't have a bad experience. It was pretty good so far. The lady at the front was very nice and she explained it. They actually had a special going well so I took advantage of that. I don't have any complaints, after they get a couple of things built out together. Going to be a pretty good cookie spot. I hope they stay around.

All I can say is Absolutely AMAZING! I was introduced to Victoria's Cakes at one of the DeKalb…read moreCounty Farmers Markets. After trying a few that were available for sample tasting, I decided on the Pistachio slice. The slice was perfect. The balance between sweetness and nut was spot on. Creamy Thick Smooth Rich Most of all, the slice was better than good. As I have never had pistachio cheesecake, I was unsure of what to expect, however, as a lover of cheesecake and a lover of pistachios, I was excited to see what would happen when you put them both together. Whew! I'm so glad I trusted my foodie lover instincts. Furthermore, to know that this slice was homemade made it even better. Whoever Ms. Victoria is; she is a genius. Her mathematical equation of pistachio to cheesecake ratio was spot on. She understood the importance of sweet and salty as it relates to the diversified options of cheesecake pairing. Thanks to Victorias Cakes, I have found my dessert vendor of choice.

It even has managed to impress friends who don't adventure too far outside of their own American culinary tastes. The sweets here are the perfect amount of sweet. The savory items also contain a perfect hint of sweetness that somehow ties it all together. I've even had a matcha (less sugar) made here and my God it was unexpectedly delicious. I usually spend about $20-ish and share my bag full of goodies with my folks. I love that you can get a lot with a little -- the dollar still stretches here! Sometimes their open hours are a bit off, as if been before during regular hours and they've been closed. I'll also add that the entrance can be confusing as Family Baking shares space or simply is owned by Rolls Village. None of this stops me from stopping by. The cherry on top is that the service is truly phenomenal. I love being greeted where I spend money, and the guy who frequently mans the cash register has such great energy. He's efficient as hell too! When I visited, he skipped through the tipping portion of the POS both times... so I'm not sure if they accept tips but I won't complain too much about that LOL. Go!!!
