We were thrilled to find Emily to create our wedding cake. We really wanted a cake that everybody could enjoy. To deliver such an incredible, delicious cake experience and promise vegan and gluten-free is truly impressive. From our first tasting and meeting with Emily to the delivery of the cake on the big day, everything was just perfect. We were confident that it would be wonderful and were delighted when so many of our guests spontaneously shared how delicious it was and how much they enjoyed it. There was virtually none left at the end of the evening! We would highly recommend Lael Cakes. Thank you, Emily! Shelley & Matthew
Emily made a cake for me for my wedding at 501 Union in Brooklyn, NY, and it was absolutely stunning. I have strict dietary restrictions, but Emily was open and flexible in her creation. She was creative and fun in her design—I absolutely loved the way the cake turned out. At the tasting she gave us options so we really could make an informed decision. She also gave us sketches, something that other bakers did not do. I would highly recommend her cakes to anyone! Sarah & Mike
It is fantastic to work with Emily! Her cake tasting is a fun experience in itself because you will be full all afternoon after eating delicious cake. Then, the wedding cake design process is great—Emily listens to your ideas, then hand-draws sketches to help bring the ideas to life. Our cake is beautiful and delicious—and gluten and dairy free! I can’t tell you what an experience it was that all of my family and friends could share in our wedding cake—and that I could have wedding cake and feel well afterward. I really can’t recommend Lael Cakes enough! Tara & Bjorn
We highly recommend Emily and Lael Cakes! Emily was super easy-going and both professional and responsive from the beginning. We had a rough idea for our wedding cake and she was able to help us imagine it and sketched it out during our initial tasting. We knew then that we had found the one! We also had a special cake topper request (our childhood anime characters) and she executed and delivered them marvelously. What made them extra special was the fact that she added a top hat and a veil to the characters—we had tons of paparazzi’s surround the cake from all angles prior to our cake cutting ceremony. The cake itself was really flavorful and moist but not heavy, and tasted deliciously. All of our guests loved them—especially our vegan friends – but none of them knew or could taste the fact it was vegan AND gluten-free! I’m 100% certain that everyone loved our cake as much as this bride and groom! Thank you Emily and Lael Cakes! Nao & Tom
Lael Cakes provided our wedding cake. It was a gorgeous, tasty thing that exceeded our expectations. It looked and tasted so good that none of our guests could guess that it was actually a vegan cake! We had gone through many vendors in NYC in search of a beautiful vegan cake before we arrived at Lael. As soon as we found them, we knew they’d be making our cake. In fact, we had unknowingly seen a Lael cake in a magazine and had used the image to show what sort of decoration we were looking for, and we had no idea the cake was vegan. The cake Lael made for us was multi-tiered with smooth buttercream frosting and sugar flowers and brooches to match the decor of our wedding. It was lovely. We highly recommend Lael Cakes for any cake, whether your needs be vegan, gluten-free or just for any old cake. Thanks, Lael Cakes! Verzhine & Reilly
I found Emily in a wedding magazine, one of her cakes was actually on the cover, and inside there were many other of her amazing cakes. I felt she had to be the one to make the cakes for my wedding. My husband is a chef and I am a graphic designer so we were searching for something that would be great for the two of us, and I’m not into the normal white crust super sweet cakes—we wanted something a bit more modern and special. She fulfilled both of our expectations and beyond, because they are not just incredibly beautiful but they are so delicious it’s absurd. Emily is amazing, talented and very open. I totally recommend her for any special occasion when you feel like having a ‘wow’ cake! Andreina & Jesse
