Sweet Memories Cakes and Catering

Susan's cakes are stellar! We had so many comments on how delicious the cake was! Susan knew exactly what I wanted, and was able to deliver without any complications! I would definitely recommend her services - she is so easy to work with!

We used sweet memories for our wedding cake and chocolate covered strawberries. She designed my cake from scratch because I had no idea what I wanted. I loved that you can put multiple flavors in each tier. The cake was gorgeous and also so delicious. Everyone should use her she knows what she is doing.

Susan is great! We're using her for catering and cakes, as well as waitservice. Flowers and linens are a bit overpriced, though.

I would recommend any bride to this bakery/caterer/LIFE SAVER! Their cakes are the best I have ever tasted. And trust me throughout my wedding planning, I tasted everyone's cake in Dallas and Fort Worth. I found Sweet Memories at the Dallas Bridal Show, and from first meeting them to planning out my wedding, I had the very best experience with them. Susan, the owner, Is the most helpful person I worked with throughout my entire wedding. She also helped me with my flowers, Photography, linens, and DJ! Its like the PERFECT one stop shop! After my wedding, I continue to use Sweet Memories for my two Daughters birthdays, and my husband and I's Anniversaries. My family and I also use them for out Christmas Party every year. The food is always amazing, and it's pretty affordable as well. I could not have found a better, or more professional bakery/caterer if I looked for two more years! You will not be disappointed!

We had our Brides and Grooms cake made here, and they were absolutely fabulous!!! I would recommend Sweet Memories to any bride that is looking for a beautiful and great tasting cake!

We LOVED our cake! After reading some really bad reviews on a few other sites (after I'd already ordered our cake from Susan) I was really panicked that our cake would be a disaster! However, the minute I saw it, I burst into tears, it was gorgeous! (and exactly what we ordered). The only drawback of the cake-shop is that their samples are tiny cubes of cake and little dollops of frosting that are really difficult to taste (it's nice to have a cupcake or real slice of cake to get the full flavor and texture) apparently we picked well though, because the cake tasted amazing. The cake was pretty pricey for buttercream, and I'd recommend ordering fewer slices than you think you'll need, we ordered one slice per guest, and ended up with the top tier AND the middle left! (not that I complained one bit the next morning when I ate it for breakfast...yum!)

I have used Sweet Memories for many years now, and I could not imagine using anyone else for my kids Birthdays-Graduations or family get-togethers. I even got my company to start using them for our monthly luncheons!! The quality of service and professionalism is totally unbeatable.

Oh my gosh I love Susan!! Sweet Memories provided the food for our reception, all of our flowers and centerpieces, and our cakes. Everything was absolutely exquisite! The first thing I saw were the flowers when her assistant came and delivered our bouquets and I was absolutely speechless! They were gorgeous!!!! The bouquets and centerpieces were amazing! The next part was the food for our reception...two carving stations, mashed potato martini bar, green beans with bacon, rolls and butter. Everything was delicious and fresh...my guests were raving about the food! Last but certainly not least...the cakes! Our cakes were absolutely beautiful. My husband has his degrees in and loves the theatre and I asked if there was any way I could have the theatre masks on his cake and she made it happen! She made the masks from fondant by hand and let them harden then put them on the cake. Truly wonderful service, very personable (all of my appointments ending up lasting about two hours because we just got to talking!), and very professional. Everything was taken care of and I never even had to worry about anything. I would recommend her to anyone!

Great cake for the cost. They will make the cake in two layers with a cream filling at no extra cost. The weather was rainy the day of my wedding and the cake held up perfectly. No horror story about the cake falling over due to the humidity. I found Sweet Memories at the bridal show and drove an hour and a half to taste and pick out this cake because the flavor was so good.

The cake was amazing, I couldn't believe it. Best service around, highly recommend.

The cake was gorgeous and beautiful. We were very happy with Susan and the cake. We just wanted one cake, but really wanted chocolate. Susan came up with the idea of putting 2 different flavors in each layer which was perfect. We chose a chocolate and pink champagne flavor. Both were yummy. The cake was alot of cake. In fact, we had gotten an extra sheet cake from them (same flavors as the wedding cake) that we kept in the kitchen for extra servings. Didn't even get into it. My parents figured out that it freezes well - they've had cake for months. We were very happy with everything with the cake.

My husband picked ou the whole cake. Flavor, colors, design. It was beautiful. We have bought birthday cakes, party cakes, wedding shower cakes, baby shower, everything from them. I love them more amd more as we use them. They will make you what ever you want. Our cake was outside in texas in Aug. Looked and tasted great even after the heat! My son had had 3D cakes of a fire truck, train, transformers, and many other amazing cakes. go look at the picture albums they have.

Sweet Memories makes the most delicious cakes! Susan and her team did an excellent job on both our wedding and Groom's cakes. They were not only beautiful, but also extremely tasty. The best part was, the top layer still tasted just as great when my husband I ate it on our first anniversary!

Oh my! We had white chocolate cake with strawberry filling. So delicious!

There were no tastings, very pricey, I had to make numerous of phone calls to get the correct price, never returned any of my calls, and did not uphold original contract prices. I do not recommend.

Cake was out of this world beautiful and very tasty! Although, for the price, I think it was alittle small.

This place got a lot of hype and it "the cake place" in the Fort Worth area. It is definitely great cake, but very pricey. We had a much smalled cake than originally planned because of the cost. However, the cake was beautiful and so tasty! I would also warn that if you have a wedding on a Sunday, she charges double for delivery, which is totally against the grain for wedding vendors. Most give you a discount for Sunday weddings!

Absolutely beautiful! I used for both my cakes and the catering! That was an excellent decision.

We were very pleased with everything we got from Susan. She spent alot of time with us on our design session, explaining all our choices, and helping us come up with a design that we were happy with. We also got to spend some time with Susan just learning about her business and her goals, and that was important to us. There were no problems with delivery, the cakes looked, and more importantly, tasted wonderful!!

Absolutely the best cakes I’ve ever tasted. Everyone loved them and asked for information about who made them. So moist and flavorful…yum! The design on the wedding cake exceeded my expectations. People are still raving about the cakes. We will continue to buy cakes from Sweet Memories for years to come. Very highly recommended!

My cake was absolutely beautiful. It was exactly what I wanted. I had found a picture of a cake I liked on the internet and sent them a copy. They were able to duplicate it. And the taste was to die for. We picked an amaretto flavored cake with a butter cream icing. At the last minute (the day of the wedding) they called saying the icing would not sick to the cake due to the hot, July, Texas heat, so they asked if fondant would be ok. I said yes not wanting to deal with any wedding cake disasters... and they gave me the up grade on the icing for free being that it was not what I ordered, and the situation was out of everyone's control. I never would have known the difference if they did not call.

OVERALL -
Susan & her staff were just wonderful to work with concerning our wedding cake (we also used them as our caterer, but see the catering review). I opted to go with two flavors, traditional white & italian cream with buttercream frosting. We had a false bottom layer in order to give the cake height. We also had both round & square tiers to give the cake a bit of dimension. Decoration was very simple, with decorated icing that resembled lace topped with a string of pearls. The taste was fabulous & just what I remembered from the tasting, moist & decandent. All of our guests had second & thirds including myself & we still had lots of cake left over the next day.

With the quality of cake that was served, I was expecting the same for the menu. We were both severely disappointed, especially since we paid over $3K for services. We would have received better quality food from Subway than what we paid for with Susan & her staff. During our initial meeting with them, they quoted us certain prices on each item of food & linens. I was under the assumption that they would honor those prices, however I was disappointed yet again. Each phone call and visit to finalize the menu and guest head count led to an increase in prices on everything (ie. sparkling cider toast, bottled water, coffee, a disposable dishes & utensils & most of all the food). It was frustrating in crunching the numbers and not coming up the same totaled amounts & having to deal with their crazy schedule (since their bread-n-butter is being a bakery & not a catering service). The linen count for the number of tables were off & we ended up paying the difference in over $200 in linens that we ended up not using. We paid over $200 in disposable plates & utensils (all utensils including: spoons, forks & knives), we only received the plates & forks, no knives were presented to our guests in order to properly cut their BBQ beef brisket. We were under the assumption that the brisket was to a carving station, as stated in their pricing packet, however the meat was pre-carved & served in thick portions for our guests to tear apart with their fingers. It was ghastly & we were HORRIFIED!

The cakes we ordered for our wedding we exactly what we represented to us and were amazing. Everyone at the wedding was amazed at the creation of the cakes and how they turned out. We did spend a lot of money on these though, they were pretty pricy but in the end it turned out amazing.

I remember my cake being amazing. They even matched the design from my purse, onto the cake! I was so impressed, and my cake was a hit. They arranged everything, and I never had to worry about a thing. The grooms cake was great as well, the chocolate covered strawberries are always great.

I love their cakes and they do a great job! They always make everything taste so good

They work great with special orders.
