  Another fantastic experience!. I don’t even know where to start so bear with me – I knew the original owner of the company and have since I was a little girl. She used to test her cakes on us. I was a graduate of Tallwood High in 1993 (first, best class!) and she made my graduation cake. It was divine and unlike anything I had experienced before. Sadly, I’m sure there are pictures someplace but 20 years ago it wasn’t as popular to document everything digitally like it is now. Fast forward from 1993 to 2008 when I got married. The original owner now had employees, including Chef Melissa who owns and operates the company now. Together they made our beautiful wedding cake for our wedding at the Lesner Inn. I uploaded a photo of that cake which Chef handcrafted sugar art sharks for us (in 2011). She didn’t have a mold and did this freehand. The cake was absolutely delicious, our guests commented like crazy how great it was (and you know people can be snarky… people loved this cake!) and one year later we enjoyed our top tier with friends and everyone agreed it was incredible even one year after being frozen!! Fast forward 2008 to 2013 – my daughter turned 18. Chef Melissa recreated my daughter’s original art work – art work she had sketched/doodled on a train to NYC earlier that summer and created sugar art yet again. (I will upload – in pictures it has the name Kerri on it) The cake was fantastic, again everyone said how delicious it was – it looked beautiful – when art is involved – whether it’s getting a cake done or my hair done – I let the pros go to work. I don’t go off of a photo – I trust the artist and I let the universe be. Be original. We could not have been happier with this cake. Chef hand delivered it and there wasn’t much left after everyone got their hands on it! We saved the top tier to enjoy on my daughter’s 19th birthday. Our favorite cake flavor that Chef offers is Hawaiian Pineapple Macadamia Nut Coconut Rum cake. It’s expensive and worth every cent!! You will not be disappointed.Good luck on whatever cake or dessert you order from Chef and enjoy!!!20 Aug, 2011Fabulous Wedding Cake!. Chef DeLong is a master at her craft. For the review that was bad, I can only imagine there was some awful mistake, or bad day, because she rarely if ever has a dull moment. She scheduled our taste-testing and worked with our budget for my 80 person wedding. We had a three tier cake with beach theme and the sugar art was awesome! She had not crafted sharks before but she did this especially for my husband. She also included a special anniversary cake for us separately to keep. We stored it and wrapped it as she said and I swear, a year later to the day, it didn’t miss a beat – we were so shocked that flavor like that would make it. I recommend Chef DeLog and the Gourmet Bake Shoppe for any occasion. Our cake was delicious, exactly what we pictured (she sketched it for us while we were there) and just beautiful. Thank you Chef – from Carrie (Dorina’s niece)
