Jeanne knew we did NOT want a tradtional wedding cake. We opted for a crouquembouche- typical French pastry used for weddings.
What I didn't mention to Jeanne was the decoration for the croquembouche. It was as if she read my mind- it was simple, elegant and had the most incredible dusting of gold all over it, so it was just luminous. The topper was made two hearts made out of the same pastry and they were cutouts, so you could see right through them.
Needless to say, between the champagne and the stunning wedding cake, our guests were practically salivating to try it! It was perfection- light, sweet , buttery- just the perfect combination of tastes for our cocktail celebration.
She will always be our cake designer for all of our future events. No does it better...

Jeanne was great to work with. My mom and sister came with me to Jeanne's home for a cake tasting and we had a great time. Jeanne is so easy to talk to and her cakes are ABSOLUTELY delicious. We went with a chocolate cake with baily's irish cream buttercream and her specialty passion fruit. The cake was gorgeous, unfortunately I never got around to tasting it day of the wedding but everybody who did loved it. I had also met with 2 other bakers and Jeanne had the best tasting cakes with a reasonable price. Highly Recommend!

GUEST




I was so pleased with my wedding cake from I dream of Jeanne Cakes. Jeanne was so helpful, down to earth and easy to work with. The cake tasting was so much fun (my fiance literally cleaned his plate...but had quite the belly ache after from too many sweets!), but the cakes are just to die for! I was very indecisive about what style cake I wanted and literally decided a week before the wedding. Not only that, but I decided on something completely random with a very different cake stand, and Jeanne never showed any frustration with me and even overnighted a cake stand in to make it happen. Thank you Jeanne for all of your hard work and for helping make my day magical!

Amazing cake... You can't go wrong just amazing, moist, fresh, creative, and delicious. Jeanie is very talented and very easy to work with:)
GUEST




Fabulous! Delicious cake, great pricing, beautiful design. We had her make a fake cake and them served sheet cake, and none of our guests knew! They all just raved about how good the cake was! And she was so creative and easy to work with, made a wonderful design that fit in well with our theme.
GUEST




Jeanne was great! Our cake was delicious and beautiful! She had many options for design and flavors! She was also fun to meet and work with! She is highly dedicated to her trade!
GUEST




Amazing. I was very sad that the guests who stayed in our house over the wedding weekend ate the left over cake! I would have eaten every bit of it had I had it along with us.
GUEST




We had our reception at the Roma Restaurant in Haverhill, which uses I Dream of Jeanne cakes for their wedding packages. I'm so glad they do - the cake was absolutely delicious and beautiful! We got to choose from many different designs and flavors, and we were definitely happy with the outcome.

i loved " i dream of jeanne cakes" she was so flexible and she cut he cost so much. she did a cake for us with like 20 pictures of superhero's in love and weddings. we didn't have to pay her until after the wedding and didn't have to put down a deposit. my maid of honor reported she was the only vendor who didn't have any problems or questions about what to do. she let us make up our own frosting and had a very nice sit down tasting. she also would do our cake even though we were only going to have 60 people at my wedding. when cakes for occasions wouldn't make a cake for so little people.
GUEST




We were very pleased with the service we received from Jeanne for our wedding. We went into the meeting expecting only to have a wedding cake, but during the course of the discussion we realized that our outdoor picnic-style wedding was not very conducive to a full cake service. However, she was immediately ready with a solution, as we decided on 3 types of cupcakes and a large cutting cake for the best of both worlds.
We were blown away during the cake tasting by the passion fruit buttercream, with a multifaceted taste we never expected. Our second flavor was a chocolate cake with raspberry buttercream, which was wonderfully rich and a great companion to the passionfruit. And thirdly, carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.
All three were wonderful, but the carrot cake with cream cheese stole the show. She mentioned that the carrot cake is featured at a local high-end restaurant around the corner from where I work, and I'm considering eating there simply to get another taste. It was rich, decadent, smooth and spicy, everything you could imagine in a perfect carrot cake. Easily the best I've ever tasted.
As for the wedding day, she arrived exactly when I requested, organized and ready to go. Jeanne dealt seamlessly with our caterers, for a drama-free setup. For the cake cutting, neither my fiance nor myself were remotely hungry following lunch, but we quickly finished off our raspberry and passionfruit slice on the cutting cake. It was the best of both worlds: convenience with the cupcakes, and a beautifully designed 4-tier cake (with 3 styrofoam bottom tiers) with brilliantly-colored fondant over the delicious buttercream.
Highly recommended.
GUEST




I have tasted 5 of Jeanne's cakes at different occasions, wedding showers, baby showers, 2 weddings and my own wedding Unfortunately at my own wedding I was so preoccupied I only took one bite of the cake and don't even remember which kind it was ( we chose two different flavors) Chocolate cake with raspberry filling and yellow cake with Heath bar filling.. Yes, I've never heard of heathbar filling but it was absolutely delicious when we went for a tasting. My husband does not like sweet foods but when we had leftover cake from my wedding shower at the house I found him sneaking pieces of cake anytime he could! Jeanne is very creative and helped me out a lot with the design of my cake. We had a beach themed wedding and the cake was beautiful!
GUEST




Jeanne is amazing. After viewing her website, we knew we had to book her. We had an intimate wedding and our needs for the cake shifted quite a few times. Not only was she flexible with changing the design so often, but the final product was equally tasty (Hawiian Passion) and beautiful. You will not be disappointed!
GUEST




AMAZING! She knew exactly what I wanted. I had brought a picture of the cake I wanted and before she even saw it she knew the cake I was talking about. Everything was amazing, the cake was delicious and we would recommend Jeanne for any occasion!
GUEST




Jeanne was so great and helpful from the beginning all the way to the wedding day! The cake was so beautiful and tasted amazing!
GUEST




Well...where do I begin? Jeanne was the most impressive wedding cake baker I have ever met. I went with my future Mother in law and we both loved Jeanne! The tasting was very delicious and so pleasant. We felt like we were family by the end of our visit in her warm and lovely home. Jeanne delivered a gorgeous three tiered cake covered in pearlized shells and little sea creatures. Each layer was filled with lemon alternating with raspberry.
My cake was stunning! She matched the fondant to the exact shade of my champagne pink dress. I am a wedding specialist for hair and I see hundreds of vendors. Jeanne is my preferred professional. When brides ask me for referrals, she is my top suggestion. I have seen her cakes at Taj Boston. She can create anything! Choosing Jeanne was the best decision! Priscilla Collins

Our cake was perfect. It was delicious and everyone raved about it. I found Jeanne to be very easy to work with and she helped us find a creative solution when we couldn't agree on a flavor. (groom's cake, wedding cake and sheet cake that were all slightly different).
I love Jeanne's cakes and service so much that she has done all of our special occasion cakes since (baptisms, special birthdays etc.). Now that number 3 has been born I need to call her again for his upcoming baptism. She has also done wedding cakes for many friends of mine and everyone has always been satisfied. I got married in 2004 so I have been a loyal customer for the last six years and for many more to come.
GUEST




My father found Jeanne 2 weeks before the wedding (not that I recommend springing an order on her that last minute). She works out of her very beautiful house in Andover. We sampled cakes, she listened to my ideas, and was very respectful of my tight tight budget. You also get a free small cake on your anniversary b/c she is against freezing the top layer. She wants you to eat a fresh cake!
GUEST




At first glance Jeanne may seem a bit preoccupied, but she does such fantastic and tasty work that you will soon forget. She is a very normal person, just one that makes exceptional cakes. Jeanne also offered that after my husband and I move home from Spain that we have her make a small cake for us because she insists that people should have a fresh cake instead of freezer cake on their first anniversary...and because we couldn't bring with us to SPain, she offered us cake 3 years after our wedding! Hey Jeanne, we'll be taking you up on that offer come this September!!!
GUEST




Beautiful Cake, wonderfully nice woman, great price!! The cake even tasted good a year later! She offers a new topper for the one year anniversary but we were from out of state.
GUEST




I would like to take this opportunity to say what a beautiful job Jeanne did on my wedding cake....The cake was absolutely delicious, and received many compliments on the taste and texture of the cake. My cake was so pretty to look at that I did not even want to cut it!! I would highly recommend her for any kinds of cakes that is needed for any function, not just for wedding, but for birthdays and holidays!! A ++++ service!!!

Jeanne was the third cake vendor that we met with. The vendors we met before all had very heavy and dense wedding cake and I was determined to find a vendor that offered a much lighter cake. I managed to find everything I was looking for with Jeanne. She is such a nice woman. She made it clear to us that she is in the business to make people happy and not to reach into their pockets. We had a wedding with 160 guests and the price per slice was hovering around $4.50. Most vendors started at a much higher price point to even begin with. We had a different design and she was thrilled to work with us to achieve the vision we had. One particular vendor wanted to charge us $250 to make a cascading sugar flower design down the four tiers, with Jeanne, there was no additional charge!
During our initial meeting, she kept throwing out ideas about how we could save money and still get exactly what we wanted. In my previous experience, other vendors never thought to suggest Styrofoam tiers in order to reduce the cost, among many other suggestions that she had. She truly cares about what she does and it shows!
Her buttercream frosting wasn’t exactly what we wanted but she assured us that she would figure out exactly what we were looking for. In the end, she made a buttercream frosting that was exactly what we were looking for. She is not against trial runs on anything and she isn’t offended by anything you say to her. She is only concerned with getting everything exactly how you’d like.
We did have a little trouble with email communication that made me think for a week or so that we had made a bad choice in choosing Jeanne. But when I brought my concerns up with her, she was nothing but accommodating saying that she would refund our deposit if we didn’t feel like we fit with her anymore…but that wasn’t at all what we wanted. She had expressed some issues she had been having with sending/receiving emails. However, we decided to move forward with each other and instead of communicating via email, I just called her and that worked fine for the both of us.
I would highly recommend Jeanne!! We had an excellent wedding cake that everyone ate! Unfortunately, we only had a very small portion to take home with us the next day (haha). Jeanne suggested that we call her a week or so before our first anniversary and she would make us the top tier of our wedding cake free of charge.
I can’t say enough about her!! Excellent vendor, excellent cake, excellent frosting and excellent price!

My husband and I used I Dream of Jeanne Cakes for our wedding and we were so happy that we did! From the beginning she was very helpful and gave us a lot of ideas, since I was having such a hard time deciding on what I wanted. She loved the ideas that we had and helped us straighten them out so that we wouldn't have a cake that looked like a disaster. Then to help us make a decision on what flavors of buttercream we wanted she made a mock cake for us! We went with a white cake with a layer of pineapple buttercream and a layer of orange buttercream covered in vanilla buttercream (YUMMM)... It was so delicious and everyone loved it! Our theme was dahlia flowers and she did an amazing job with creating green and pink dahlias for our cake.
Another thing that is awesome about Jeanne is that she makes a fresh cake for you on your 1 year anniversery! No more worring about saving the top of your cake and eating old frozen cake!
I would have to say that the only thing that made me a little upset was that she was a little hard to get a hold of by email, but if you call her she almost always picks up.
If I had to do my wedding over I would defenetly make sure to use I Dream of Jeanne Cakes again, she gave me one less thing to worry about which was a true blessing!

I honestly can't say enough wonderful things about Jeanne and her amazing cakes. I met with her about a year before my wedding and had contacted her because I'd seen her cakes featured in a Brides (Boston Edition) magazine. When my husband and I met her, we had our heart set on a cinnamon cake from another vendor, and Jeanne worked hard making changes to recipes to suit us. We came very close with the spice cake before we ultimately changed our minds and went with the Hawaiian Passion cake. We agreed on a design and a few weeks before the wedding, I changed my mind about that too.
Jeanne took this all in stride and never complained or made me feel like I was putting her out with these semi-last minute changes. I met with her the week before my wedding to make sure the design and the elements I purchased would work. I had a friend deliver the flowers we'd need so she could finish the cake off before delivering it to my reception venue.
My husband and I were so pleased with the cake and the way it turned out. It was better than we could have imagined. The faux pearls (not edible!) created such a luxurious look and the cake itself was moist and delicious. The unique flavor combo was one that my family and friends loved and continue to discuss with us.
We cut our cake from 100 servings to 70 and wanted all real cake without styrofoam tiers, which was an option offered to us as we wanted the height of a 4-tier cake. Jeanne worked hard to give us options that fit our budget and our style. In the end, we had a fondant covered three tier cake for less than $500 - including delivery. This was less than half the cost of some of the other quotes we received from places like Eat Cake, Montillio's and KonditorMeister (the latter two companies' cakes we didn't even like!)
I never had a single challenge in working with Jeanne and I'm convinced it's because of our open communication - as soon as I thought I wanted a change, I contacted her. I found that calling was always better than emailing, but I also understand that as a one-woman show she has a lot on her plate, so if I didn't hear back soon enough, I just called and that worked perfectly. I also made sure that my vision was clear and that we were on the same page about what I was expecting. I didn't hold back and so I had no reason to be disappointed.
GUEST




Jeanne’s cake was delicious. We got Funfetti, Hawaiian and Raspberry Truffle. She manages to use buttercream frosting while still keeping the cake nice and light, which was one of our concerns since we had an outdoor summer wedding. Her communication was good, although I recommend using phone rather than email since her email tends to break. Our cake design was really basic, so I can’t comment too much on her decorating skills, but it looked great.
GUEST




Beautiful and delicious cake. Does not respond to emails but regardless, Jeanne knew exactly what we wanted! We had a 3 tier square cake, the top and bottom being carrot cake and the middle being red velvet. The red velvet was hands down the best and the carrot cake was pretty darn good too. Delicious buttercream frosting with an additional layer of sugar to give the cake a sparkle and a little crunch on the frosting. My husband and I have been having a slice everyday since the wedding :)
GUEST




Jeanne was great! I loved her from the moment I met her. She even saved us some money because she knew the venue we were getting married at. The cake wasn't exactly how we wanted but it was beautiful anyways :-) Highly recommend her.
GUEST




Jeanne does beautiful cakes...she was very creative with her ideas and listening to ours. She didn't just want to copy a previous design, but wanted our cake to be true to what we wanted and who we were.
Unfortunately, our cake was in a car accident on the way to the reception hall so we didn't actually see what it would have looked like. She was quick to make a model cake for show though, and we're pretty sure that was similar to the real one. Still very pretty.

Our cake was amazing!!! It tasted as delicious at our wedding as it was at the tasting. Jeanne was awesome- she even delivered the cake before she had her final check. I looked forward to the cake for months- we had two flavors and each one was delicious!
GUEST




Jeanne was a pleasure to work with. She is very sweet and will work with you to create the cake of your dreams, and at a price you can afford!
GUEST




Best cake we have ever tasted. Design of cake did not come out like we had discussed in our meetings.
GUEST




Although my cake looked out beautiful and was on time, I had some communication problems with Jeanne. Getting a hold of Jeanne can be difficult on the phone and nearly impossible through email (she may take literally weeks to respond.)
But my main issue is that instead of making my top tier out of actual cake (so that I could freeze it), she told me that that would taste bad and that so, instead, she would make me a smaller, fresh cake for our one-year anniversary. I thought this sounded like a great idea at the time.
Flash-forward to one year later: she never got a hold of me and clearly would have been happy never to have heard from me again. After hunting her down, I now find that, not only will the "anniversary cake" not be done on time for my actual anniversary (she's far too busy with current customers who haven't paid yet, to bother with someone whose check she cashed long ago), but it will not at all be an actual smaller version of the top tier of my cake. Instead of feeling like I am eating my actual wedding cake (complete with fondant topping), she will only make a small cake in the buttercream flavors used at my wedding. Now all of a sudden, if I want fondant, or for this cake to at all look like my wedding cake, it will now cost me extra. This was NOT explained to me while I was making the cake order. If so, I would simply have told her to make the top tier out of actual cake!! As it was, because I only had 80 guests or so, my 3-tier cake was two tiers of fondant-topped styrofoam, with the only the bottom layer actually cake. How very taxing for her! And all of this, for ONLY $700! Apparently the screw-over is free, ladies.
Oh, I would also like to add that, after tasting her sample cupcakes, my husband did not even want to go with Jeanne! He thought they tasted terrible. It was only I who convinced him that she could make it LOOK good, and that the pictures would last longer than the taste would. Guess I should've thought twice!
I can't say enough about Jeanne from I Dream of Jeanne Cakes. I have been recommending my brides to her for years. Being a Wedding/Event Planner can be very stressful, but when you have award winning vendors like Jeanne to recommend to your clients, it helps ease the stress my brides are under. Her talents are outstanding. Her cakes are devine. She is able to take a brides ideas and make them in to a masterpiece.
At the end of every wedding the couple is always thanking me for introducing them to her.
I Dream of Jeanne Cakes does a phenomenal job from my standpoint as a photographer. Highly Highly recommended!!!
Wow, is the word that comes to mind when I think of the delicious and gorgeous Jeanne Cakes. This culinary artist is an amazing addition to your wedding day vendors. The intricate design of her cakes are beyond words. Jeanne is also a person that is trustworthy and kind person that I have had the pleasure to meet in the wedding industry. Choose I Dream of Jeanne Cakes for any desert that you want to have at your event. You will be beyond pleased.
I highly recommend I Dream Of Jeanne Cakes! She has made delicious, creative and totally custom cakes for many of my clients and my own wedding as well! I am always so happy to refer her!!!
I have had the pleasure of working with I Dream of Jeanne Cakes for the past few years and every time I meet with her I am truly amazed! Her work is absolutely incredible, timing, style and taste are always spot on. If you have not had the enjoyment of experiencing an I Dream of Jeanne Cake I would highly recommend you contact her for your next event.
It was an incredible pleasure working with Jeanne and sharing her creations with the brides that visited my bridal show booth. I gave out her delicious cheesecake pops (an original item she created) and it didn't take long before brides came by my booth asking "Where are the cheesecake pops we've heard so much about?!" She truly uses only the best ingredients to create desserts that you and your guests will be raving about. Add to that her creativity, personality, and prompt responses to my emails and I highly recommend working with her!
