Just Desserts

Melinda of Just Desserts made the ultimate groom's cake. My husband is a huge Beatles fan so she was able to make a replica of a Beatles record. He was so surprised and he loved it! She was also able to tailor the flavors to his likes (chocolate with grand marnier ganache) and everyone thought it was so delicious. I procrastinated on ordering the groom's cake and Melinda was able to squeeze me in. Her cakes are works of art and I would highly recommend her for anything cake related!

Just Desserts is wonderful -- our guests were all surprised that such a beautiful cake actually tasted great, too!

I was recommended to use Just Desserts by my wedding cordinator who told me she was the best in town and she was not lying! The cake was absolutely beautiful and it tasted even better! Melinda and her team were so dependable that I knew I had nothing to worry about. I never even had to contact her on the day of my wedding or even the day before, they just ook care of everything and on my wedding day the cake was just magically there looking amazing without me even having to think twice about it. They also packaged our 1 year tier really well so it made the trip back home with us! We all ate the leftover wedding cake for the next week and we loved it!

Melinda was SOOO wonderful to work with and the cake was AMAZING!! Every bite was eaten!!! I have never seen anything like that :) It was truly beautiful and delicious!!

I cannot say enough good things about Just Desserts. Our wedding cake was not only even more beautiful than I could have imagined, it tasted phenomenal, too. She was so great about everything, from start to finish. Seriously, if you're not sure whether to use this vendor or not, throw your worries away. :)

The cake was beautiful and tasted AMAZING! It was the best wedding cake I've ever had. Everybody was impressed by how beautiful it was and i believe anything from Melinda at Just Desserts is worth every penny. I had a very hard time finding a baker to make a cake for us since I have a severe nut allergy but Melinda worked with us and gave us everything we wanted. It was deliscious!

Melinda did my grooms cake and my wedding cake and they were both fabulous! We had a "Virginia Tech" themed grooms cake for our rehearsal dinner and a beautiful and simple 3 tiered wedding cake for our reception at The Currituck Club. They even delivered it for me. I had 2 different flavors of wedding cake and people told me it was some of the best wedding cake that they had ever had! She is such a gem and so great to work with. Your cake will not only look beautiful, but it will taste amazing too!

I always enjoy looking at cakes at weddings but must admit that I don't always indulge in eating a piece since I'm often disappointed in the taste. This is not the case with cakes by Melinda! I'm not sure how it's possible, but her cakes taste just as amazing as they look (and this is saying a lot since a photo of the cake she created for us was selected as the cover for Inspire the Bride i-magazine). Both the baker and chef friends of ours, in addition to many of our other guests, raved about how delicious the cake was. We had a combination of the key lime (my favorite) and chocolate eclair (my husband's favorite) which suited everyone's tastes. I HIGHLY recommend using Just Desserts for you wedding or other special occasion cake!

This was the best wedding cake we've ever tasted and it looked absolutely beautiful, too! Melinda was wonderful to work with and the cake came out even better than we ever dreamed. We got eclair and key lime and both flavors were outstanding. A friend also ordered a small birthday cake for another friend in chocolate peanut butter which may have been the very best cake of all! It was wonderful.

The first word that comes to mind is AMAZING!!! Melinda is a wonderful baker, who is very professional and knows her stuff. I really enjoyed working with her on ideas for my ultimate wedding cake and she is very flexible. I will tell you this, it is by far the best cake we have ever had. Your guest will be raving about it forever. We had 2 flavors: Chocolate eclair and Chocolate-Chocolate mousse with a thin layer of fresh raspberry sauce. Divine! Trust me, if you go with "Just Desserts" you will be very happy. Honestly, my wedding cake was one of the top 3 highlights from my wedding! Just an FYI, I did a lot of shopping around and comparing prices and she is average or cheaper then most of the bakery's down in he OBX.

I recommend Just Desserts to any one looking for any type of cake in the Outer Banks. Not only do they make wedding cakes, but they do cakes for all occasions. Melinda, the owner, sat down with me and helped me pick the perfect cake for my wedding. She allowed me to taste various cake samples, all homemade, and see pictures and samples of all cakes. I was able to pick every detail of my cake which was very important to me. She also worked with my florist so that I could have fresh flowers on my cake that matched my bridesmaids bouquets.

The day of my wedding, the hotel where my wedding was help kept saying how nice and professional the person was who delivered the cake. When my guests tasted the cake, they said it was the best wedding cake they had ever had. We still have plenty of cake left and we let everyone taste it because it was so good. If we ever need another specialty cake, we will use Just Desserts, even though it is 3 hours away... it is that worth it.

The cake BLEW MY MIND. It was so beautiful. No one could get over how great it tasted. I can't wait to eat the top six months from now!! (My wedding was six months ago.) We went with the choc eclair, choc macadamia, and choc moose. All tasted divine. The cake looked just like a dream in person and in the pictures. Very professional service.

Just Desserts was great! Melinda made us a gorgeous cake that was exactly what I had wanted, plus it was delicious! It is the best cake we ever had. Our guests said they had never tasted wedding cake that was as moist and tasty.

AMAZING!!! Melinda Gregory provided us with the best cake we have ever had for our wedding. We live in Manhattan and are accustom to eating wonderful desserts on a regular basis, but the cake that Melinda made for us beat anything we have ever tasted before! Not only was the cake delicious, but it was also absolutely beautiful!

First off, the groom is writing this review. I married my wonderful wife on 8-19-2000. We live on the Outer Banks and know many of the people that provide services to the wedding industry in this area. Having seen, and tasted, the cakes of everyone you would likely consider hiring in this area, we recommend Melinda at Just Desserts unequivocally.

It has been eleven years since our wedding and people STILL rave about our wedding cake. If we want to ensure great turnout at an event, we casually spread the word that Melinda will be supplying the cake... YES, her cake is that good. In the past dozen years she has supplied us with a wedding cake, anniversary cake, my parent's 50th anniversary cake, our nephew's wedding and groom cakes, birthday cakes, special occasion cakes and numerous desserts.

There are a few other vendors that can decorate at close to Melinda's level. There is however, no one else in this area that comes close in the taste department.

If you want people to actually enjoy eating the cake as much as looking at it, Just Desserts is the place to go.

The MOST amazing cake! Stunningly beautiful as well absolutely the most delicious and fresh cake I think I've ever had! Just Desserts was fabulous to work with! I highly recommend them!

Just Desserts is absolutely amazing. I don't even normally like wedding cake, but could not get enough of Melinda's cakes..they are incredible and absolutely beautiful! We had the Key Lime and also the Neopolitan for our wedding...it was the hit of the party and everyone was asking if we had any leftovers the next day. I'd highly recommend Just Desserts to everyone!

BEST CAKE EVER! The eclair cake with buttercream frosting was so good. I can't wait for our 1 year anniversary to enjoy the rest of it. Melinda was easy to work with and the cake looked beautiful.

From the first minute of my initial phone consultation with Melinda, I felt like I had not only found the cake of my dreams but made a new friend. I'm from the Outer Banks but live outside of Raleigh....when asking friends and other vendors about a wedding cake, there were NO other recommendations...Melinda was the only one I heard about. I see why. Our cake was amazing. Every single person at our reception said it was the best tasting cake they had ever had....and the presentation was perfect! I was worried about putting white cala's on an ivory cake, but told Melinda it was completely up to her. She came through on every level. I would recommend Melinda to anyone. She is personable, professional, flexible and the quality of service was superior!

The cake we got was vanilla with amaretto filling.... it was the best cake I had every tasted and was decorated perfectly. Glad we chose them!

Amazing cake. The flavor (Eclair) was the best I have tasted. Rave reviews from the guests. I live abroad so we went with something simple and a design from Melinda. Very pleased with the end result. Renee's flowers added a beautiful touch to the very simple white cake.

We had the amazing Sandcastle cake by Melinda. It was worth every penny!!! so tasty and beautiful. Our wedding guests STILL talk about the cake!!! the cake tasting was so delicious - when we vacation on OBX - we order a small cake every year- because it is THAT GOOD!!! the best!

Melinda was absolutely amazing in creating our cake. We didn't use one of her standard cake designs, but took a lot of ideas from several different ones. She met with us for about an hour and actually drew our ideas on a piece of paper so that we knew she had the right idea. Since it wasn't a standard cake, we had no idea what it would look like in the end, but it was absolutely perfect. She was incredibly flexible with flavors, colors, designs, and worked very closely with the florist in getting the right cake topper and decorations. She also stayed in close contact with us for about 7 months ahead of time to ensure we had exactly what we wanted. I don't think we paid enough for how delicious her cake was.

I loved my wedding cake and so did all of our guests! Most people told me it was the most delicious cake they've had at a wedding. The only reason I gave the Quality of Service 4 stars instead of 5 is that the Groom's Cake didn't come out exactly as planned. I'm not sure if that was lack of description on my part or not but it wasn't terrible, just not what I expected. No one else knew though. Melinda was a pleasure to work with and very accommodating, even going to our florist to get the matching ribbon from the bouquets to put on the cake. Overall - wonderful! I would absolutely use her again!

Wow! We LOVED Melinda's cakes! We initially met her in January at the Outer Banks Wedding Expo and fell in love with her cakes! She was the only vendor we booked at the expo and we are sooooo happy. Her cakes are the best I have ever tasted and most of my guests said the same thing. We have been married over a month and every once in a while a friend will comment on how that was the "best cake ever." Her decorating is spectacular as well! I did think the price was a little steep; however, it was pretty much on par with the other cake vendors at the expo - only the taste was far supreme to those other vendors! I highly recommend Just Desserts! (I can't wait till my anniversary to dig into that eclair cake again!!!)

This was the best cake we've ever tasted, which is saying something... wedding cakes are never THIS good!! We knew we preferred good taste over good design, but she offers both, so this was the perfect baker for us. All of the flavors are amazing! We chose Key Lime, Chocolate Macadamia Nut and Eclair for the three different tiers, and people went absolutely nuts over them all! We still have guests commenting about it months later. Can't wait to dive into our anniversary tier!

Melinda is truly a professional who enjoys what she does. Going into our first appointment I brought photos of details on my wedding dress I wanted to incorporate into the cake design. She quickly drew a sketch of the cake she would create and I loved it. I didn't have to worry about a thing after that moment. The cake was at the reception venue when we arrived, placed just off our table in the center of the room. It was beautiful and delicious. I received many compliments on the design and flavor. I would strongly recommend Just Desserts for any event not just weddings. She is fantastic.

The cake was absolutely amazing. Everyone still talks about how yummy the cake was!! It was the first wedding I have been to that there was no cake left over...people went back for seconds. The cake is very moist and the icing is just the right amount. The best cake in the Outer Banks by far!!

Our cake was outstanding. It was absolutely perfect. It was in the corner of our very cramped wedding venue and when it caught my eye I couldn't stop looking at it. The taste--oh my god--best cake I've ever had. We had 90 guests stay the week with us and they were literally fighting over the leftovers. We had 2 layers of cake left after the wedding and they were devoured about 1 hour after everyone discovered that there were leftovers. Can't wait until our 1 year anniversary so we can taste it again!

Chocolate Mousse and Eclair filled cake was amazing! Our guests said it was the best cake they ever had. It was also beautiful! White buttercream with chocolate starfish and seashells. Couldn't ask for more.

Wow, what an amazing job Melinda and Larry do at Just Desserts EVERY SINGLE TIME, we are always so impressed with their cakes, and yumm, they taste divine!

Looking for a cake that is every bit as delicious as it looks? Just Desserts is your choice. Every cake is a piece of art and we always look to take a picture of the cake at our venue because it's a perfect combo. You'll certainly love them!

Just Desserts does an excellent job of making great-tasting and beautiful wedding cakes. Top-notch service always!
