A Sweet Design

Joeleen is amazing! We tasted at Torrance and Rossmoor before, and while they were good, we weren't completely happy. As soon as we walked in I knew we'd found our cake! You can tell right away that she genuinely loves her job. Joeleen was super friendly and creative - as soon as she saw our monogram, she was able to design our dream cake. It was everything I wanted - and at a VERY reasonable price!

As for the cakes - wow - I almost devoured the whole plate by myself! We sampled six different flavors, all very distinct, and they were all amazing. The cake is moist, the fillings are tasty, and I especially like the fact that she has tons of choices - definitely not your standard wedding cake. She can also provide the flowers for the cake, which made things easier - no need to coordinate between baker and florist.

I can't say enough good things about her! I'm so excited to see our cake on the big day!

Update (7/4/09) - I LOVED our cake on the big day. It looked even better than I'd imagined - Joeleen really outdid herself. Also - very importantly - our guests also looooved the cake. We'd ordered a cake for 100 people, and we had 70 at our wedding, and not a crumb was left. I've always been told that most people don't really eat the wedding cake, but that was not the case at our wedding! The colors, the design, everything turned out perfectly and I couldn't be happier. It was delicious - moist, not overly sweet - soo yummy. We're definitely going to be ordering an anniversary cake from Joeleen!

We couldn't decide between A Sweet Design and another vendor. It was seriously a toss up. We decided not to move forward with Sweet Design but I had to write a review on how great Joeleen and her cakes are. She seriously has amazing customer service!! She was highly recommended by our DOC and I can see why. She spent a lot time with us and when I asked her if we could try different cakes then what she initially gave us at our tasting..she was more then happy to pack us another tasting to go. She is super talented and I can see why she receives such amazing reviews. Her cakes are moist and tasty and her pricing is super reasonable. I will definitely refer her in the future to friends and family!

Joeleen made a wonderful cake for my May 23, 2009 wedding! Her decorations on the cake were so beautiful and classy and the cake tasted sooooo good! We had two flavors because we couldn't decide between the red velvet and the chocolate with oreo filling, which we had tried at the cake tasting. The cake was very tasty and moist - my husband and I were very pleased and our guests loved the cake. Joeleen is such a sweetheart and very easy to work with. During the planning process, I changed one of my colors and she was very flexible and amenable to my needs. She also called me a week before just to make sure there weren't any last minute changes to the cake. Her prices are very reasonable too and she gives you a free cake on your anniversary so that you don't have to save the top layer in the freezer. I would recommend every bride get their cake from A Sweet Design!!

a sweet design, is exactly what the name states! joeleen was such a pleasure to work with! she was able to meet with me and help me design a surprise groomscake for my husband! and when i needed to make last minute changes, she was so accommodating and made the cake look even more amazing than i could have ever imagined!

our wedding cake was beautiful! we got so many compliments on her great artistry and hard work! both cakes were delicious and it was fun cake tasting with her as she is very personable and easy to work with. highly recommended!

I highly recommend A Sweet Design!!! I had been on the search for the "perfect cupcakes" for my wedding. What was required of these perfect cupcakes? Well they had to be tasty, beautifully & uniquely displayed, and affordable. Sounds easy, but it was a lot harder than one would think. I went to so many cupcakeries and was ready to forfeit the dream...BUT then I met Joeleen! Joeleen's cupcakes were tasty, and affordable, and better yet she was able to replicate a cupcake tower/display that I had been ogling but could not afford. On our wedding day, the cupcake display turned out even better than I had imagined. It was so beautiful & modern looking! And even better was the cupcakes themselves were so delicious. All our guests enjoyed them and complimented us on what a cute and tasty idea they were. Thanks Joeleen for making my cupcake dreams come true!!!

Joeleen is fantastic to work with and always so thoughtful in considering your event. The passion fruit filling, an original from A Sweet Design, is light, delicious, and even after the cake tasting I find myself craving that very flavor weeks later. I have been engaged for over a year and been very careful with who I work with in making sure every aspect of my wedding will run beautifully. I have no doubt in my mind that Joeleen is one of the most professional and top notch when it comes to service, reliability, and quality. I highly recommend A Sweet Design and cannot wait for my guests to try the custom wedding cake we designed together!

A Sweet Design has the best cakes and I wouldn't imagine going anywhere else! My cake was unique and beautiful for my April 2009 wedding and everyone raved about the flavors... Red Velvet, Pina Colada, and Black and White with Chocolate Chip Bavarian cream and Raspberry. YUM!

Joleen at A Sweet Design can and will create anything you desire! She is so talented and such a pleasure to work with! I was first led to A Sweet Design after reading many fabulous reviews on this same site, Project Wedding. When I arrived at the shop I was pleased to see how colorful, quaint, and cute it was! I began describing my dream cake to Joleen as she sketched out the design. We decided on cupcakes displayed on a gorgeous square tiered cupcake stand. I had seen many other cupcake stands that were flimsy and or cheap looking and could not accommodate a large number of cupcakes, but Joleen had a one-of-a kind stand that can be decorated however you choose and make the cupcakes appear stacked just like a real cake. I began tasting many wonderful flavors, all were moist and delicious. I was particularly impressed by the white cake with mango-filling.(I chose this flavor for the top tier, bride & grooms cake). Joleen was professional and helpful in all of our meetings. On the wedding day she arrived on time and set up the most beautiful cupcake display ever! I was so pleased, it was exactly what I had hoped for! Truly I was not too concerned with how they tasted (I'm a visual person who is much more concerned with presentation) but I was so delighted to find out my guests were LOVING the chocolate and vanilla cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. I kept hearing how moist they were so I decided I had to try for myself. I took one bite and was amazed! They were even more delicious than I remembered from the tasting! Yum! I am so glad I chose A Sweet Design. Joleen is easy to work with and her pricing is SO reasonable for the quality she delivers! Her work is stunning!

Joeleen was absolutely amazing to work with and our cake was absolutely stunning. We had 3 layers, each its own flavor (the chocolate-mint layer was DELICIOUS, and the carrot cake is some of the best I've ever had), with buttercream icing. She is such a warm and inviting person with great communication skills and people skills. We gave her a basic idea of the cake we wanted at first, she let us look at some pictures, and I ended up drawing a picture of the design for the cake that I hoped for. She was so inviting to the process and never once tried to push something that I did not want.
And, her prices are incredibly reasonable on top of all of that. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how great the cake tasted.
I'd recommend A Sweet Design hands down to anyone in the LA area looking for a cake baker.

Joeleen is remarkable. She was patient with us at the tasting, worked through my pictures of what I liked to come up with a gorgeous design. The cake was so perfect not only was it beautiful it tasted amazing. She is passionate about her work and has cake flavors no one else has. Reasonable prices, for the best cake ever! We went to a lot of the “top notch” bakeries but NOTHING beats A Sweet Design!

A Sweet Design has the most creative and delicious cakes I have ever had. The owner Joeleen is such a sweetheart and so talented with her designs, if you can imagine it, she can create it for you. I have used A Sweet design for several occasions and I am blown away every time with the quality of their work and attention to detail. Best of all they are reliable so I never have to worry. Joeleen offers such a variety of flavors and designs that you just can't go wrong and everything is just as yummy as the next.My favorite is the Vanilla Chiffon Cake with Cappuccino Mousse filling. I would recommend A Sweet Design to anyone who would like to add something special to any occasion.

A Sweet Design is by far the best bakery I have ever used (and believe me I am picky!)The cakes are amazing to look at, like a piece of art. I couldn't believe I could find someone who could design these amazing looking cakes that tasted as good as they looked! Joeleen, the owner is so helpful and professional, but also friendly, not an easy combination to find in any business. The chocolate cake with raspberry filling is to die for not to mention the vanilla custard filling with dark chocolate chips! Last but not least, these amazing creations are actually affordable. Now that I have found A Sweet Design I have them do all my events whether it be a birthday party, fundraiser, or to impress guests for a dinner party!

Wow,

I was looking all over my city for a certain cake. I had the idea and the budget but couldn't find any help. I went to four bakers in my area that didn’t get my vision or come in at the price I could afford. I was told by a coworker of mine that I didn't have to look anymore and to go see Joeleen (owner and baker) at Sweet Designs. She did all of their custom cakes.

I have to say from the moment I started talking to her she already drew what I saw in my head. I was like “okay so how much” and she came in right at my budget with assistance of balloons that were at a store next door to her. I have to say this very clearly.. She said “I will deliver the balloons you bought next door and the cake”. I was in tears. Joeleen is so nice and down to earth. She also speaks Spanish and that helped at the balloon store next door. She has more designs to choose from than I have every seen and she can make what ever you want custom.

This cake was for a surprise party for my fiancé’s 35th birthday but we are getting married May 2008 and we are going to her for sure. You will not go wrong with Joeleen she is the best. The balloon shop next door is not bad either.

I can not say enough about A Sweet Design! They have wonderful customer service and there cakes are so delicious!! I love the variety the have when it comes to fillings. But personally i can not get enough of there toasted coconut with cream filling :). What I also love about A Sweet Design is that you pitch your idea about the cake you are looking for and what you recieve is always more then you could imagine! I look foward to ordering more cakes through out the years to come. Thank you for the cakes you have made for the people that mean so much to me.

We appreciate your professionalism and hard work. The cake was beautiful and delicious!! Our guests raved about it. Thank you for making our wedding day perfect!!

We wanted to thank you for making our dream cake a reality. It was absolutely everything we imagined and it completed our special day

Thank you so much A Sweet Design! Our cake came out much more beautiful than we could have imagined. Not only did it look amazing, it tasted wonderful!!! Many, many thanks again!
