Patrick and Nina Gauthron were terrific from the start. Nina does the tastings, providing helpful advice and suggestions, offering many photos for us to choose from for the decoration, and following up on all the details. The best advice she gave us was, for a wedding of about 160 guests, to stay with a four layer cake and get a sheet cake to keep in the kitchen for the necessary additional servings.The cake, of course, was both beautiful and delicious as Patrick is, to our mind, the finest baker in the area. Equally important, Patrick delivered it exactly when he said he would. The top layer rests happily in the newly-wed's freezer, ready for their first anniversary.

Absolutely hands down the best wedding cake I've ever tasted. We got so many compliments on it, and it was beautiful, made to our exact specs, and delicious! There were NO leftovers, and people went back for seconds or thirds. Wonderful.
Our original plan for the cake fell through, and we were having a hard time finding a bakery that was still available to make a cake for us and that would also deliver on a Sunday. Chef Patrick and his staff at Aux Petits Delices came through for us, and I'm SO GLAD we found them! Wish we'd found them right at the beginning, actually... Even though we over-ordered a bit, guests were having seconds and even thirds because the cake was so good, so we scarcely had any left over! We'll definitely be going back there whenever we need cakes for future events.

Our wedding cake was delicious! We over-ordered a bit, and it was good that we did because a couple of our guests went back for seconds and even thirds. Chef Patrick was wonderful to work with, and was extremely accommodating even on fairly short notice. I'm so happy that we went with Aux Petits Delices and we'll definitely be returning there for other special occasions...and even for no occasion whatsoever!

Excellent experience! My fiance did not want to use the caterer as the wedding cake provider, so we had to search for one. Aux Petits Delices turned out to be a fantastic choice! We had a tasting, then a long conversation with the chef, and we placed the order. We also left samples of the colors we wanted to be used and we sent via e-mail the initial "seal" that we wanted to have on the cake.
Subsequently, we made changes to the flavors in the cake - no problem at all! We got the updated pricing a couple of days later.
To be perfectly honest, I did not quite know what to expect! We had a square cake with a Tiffany design but we had not seen it done before. Oh well - I have to tell you, the cake was fantastic! Our photographer said it best: "One of the best cakes I have seen in a long while". And it is not just about how the cake looked, it tasted fantastic! It was moist, fresh, and it reflected everything that we wanted! Delivery - I don't know the exact time when it was delivered, but it was there about an hour before the ceremony!
Honestly, you can't go wrong with Aux Petits Delices - they have the passion for cakes!
We got our wedding cake and our groom’s cake from here and both were amazing. We got a lot of compliments on the groom’s cake, which was chocolate mousse. Our wedding cake was delicious, but messy because it had kirsche mouselline and fruit in it. Can’t wait for our first anniversary so we can eat it again.

Was the best cake I have ever had. I was not as much concerned with how the cake looked, but how it tasted. I was not interested in having anything simple or ordinary tasting. I alternated layers of the "Tahitian": vanilla sponge cake filled with kirsch mousseline, fresh strawberries,mangos, kiwi and raspberries and the "Chambord": layers of almond/hazelnut meringue and chocolate sponge cake filled with fresh raspberries, chocolate mousse and white chocolate ganache. Absolutely worth every penny. People were stealing cake at the end of the reception.
GUEST
The cake was so delicious!!!! It was hard to get in there, as their hours weren't perfect, but the cake tasting was a lot of fun. Some places would only do very large orders, and we only needed a small cake, so that was also great. They weren't the most professional, but no one is perfect. We really loved them and will be going back for our year anniversary for them to make a mini wedding cake for us.

My guests still talk about the great chocolate cake they ate at our reception... The perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness.
