Review Sara's Sweets Bakery - Grand Rapids

I have been ordering cakes from Sara’s Sweets for almost 9 years now and they have never disappointed me! I recently got a cake for my mother-in-law and everyone was awed by the beauty and then the taste!!! Thank you so much for your amazing creative talent! I will continue to recommend your bakery 🤩

Last review wasn't showing up, second try! Definitely exceeded what I was expecting, beautiful cake, tastes AMAZING. We have a disabled now 3-year-old, he's never had cake as 99% of his diet is fortified milk. He has watched a video of "Buster the Bus" celebrating his birthday with a cake and we asked for a cake that looked like it was from the cartoon in hopes he would make the connection. It was rainbow yellow cake on the inside and outside and has dollops of frosting on top. They suggested a picture of Buster on the outside. It's stunning. The layers are vibrant and seriously they made this cake off of a few screenshots from my phone. My son did have his first taste of cream and buttercream. My husband and I had a sliver each because this thing is massive. 10/10 taste. They did everything based off my requests which were all over the place and this is our go to place for the future. Hoping for an awesome Flight of the Conchords inspired cake next! Thanks everyone, especially Andy who helped me out (with less than a weeks notice).

Amazingly fast service, such kind people! First time ordering a custom birthday cake and it blew my expectations out of the water. Cake was masterfully made and decorated. Not only that, but it tasted great!!! I will definitely be coming back whenever I can. 10/10.

In the past 6 months they have done two bridal shower cakes - one gluten free and excellent tasting - one cutting cake for a wedding and a birthday cake. All tasted excellent, looked great, and priced so reasonably for the level of talent received. Highly recommend.

Sara’s Sweets Bakery made the cake and cupcakes for our wedding. They were absolutely beautiful and everyone commented about how delicious it was. The two-tiered cake was gluten free chocolate and vanilla and they were so good! I highly recommend them for any of your cake needs, gluten free or regular.

Such an amazing and seriously delicious Engagement cake my best friend Scarlett made!! The flowers were such a nice touch! 👏🏽

I was so so impressed with this cake! Not only was the exterior so fun and just like the inspo picture I sent, the flavors were amazing too.

No surprise, our cake looked amazing. Really stunning. But never expected such a delicious cake. Usually you get one or the other. Spongy and moist. The buttercream was so good. We were really happy.

We had an amazing experience with Sara's Sweets Bakery! We ordered a custom cake for our son's first birthday party and the process was wonderful from start to finish. They put an amazing amount of detail into the 3D decorations on that topped the cake, more even than I would have expected! More than that, the cake also tasted great, which in our experience is often not the case with a detailed decorated cake. We would definitely come back and refer this bakery to our friends.

Satyrah yet again did a fabulous job making my vision come to life! I ordered the pictured cake for my baby shower. She copied the pram perfectly from the invitation. It was absolutely beautiful with the detail work both on the cake topper and each cake layer. We got many comments about how delicious the vanilla / lemon and chocolate / chocolate cakes were!! Thank you.

They did such a great job on the cake for our son’s birthday party. It turned out exactly how we had hoped. Ordering online was very easy and convenient, and the cake tasted great as well. Will be ordering again for future parties!

Their gluten free cupcakes are really delicious - and reasonably priced.

Amazing customer service! Most beautiful and creative cake. My son was so happy. We will definitely be ordering more cakes!

What you should expect when working with this company is a no nonsense experience void of drama that will deliver an order that is of magnificent quality, crafted with care and creative genius. Context for this statement: I have gotten a cake for my wife's birthday here for the last three years. The first year, I was not prepared at all to provide an adequate dessert for my betrothed, and I called them up and asked for help to get me out of a situation created only by my procrastination. As the night continued to unfold, work pulled me away, and I missed my wife's birthday dinner. The cake they had made for me was the redeeming highlight of that night. Since then, each cake I have asked them to execute a seemingly more abstract and confusing vision to which they have upped the bar each time. These cakes are not inexpensive, and that is because of the level of artistry and skill that goes into making them. It is not uncommon to have a great tasting cake or a great looking cake, but the team there has performed at a level making them no less than masters at their trades. These people know what they are doing, and you should ask them for their expertise, and let them do what they do best. It is clear that being a great bakery is what their goal is, and they have achieved that goal very well. If you want help representing yourself, a love one, or an important date through a bespoke, high quality, and impressive dessert, this is absolutely the best place I have found to achieve that goal. To that end, our latest creation represents a dead president walking a dog, and we cannot be happier with the result. As strange as that may sound, the fact that this team can pull off making an entire room of people laugh and smile with that is nothing less than incredible. Thank you for the fond memories, and I am excited to see what we can come up with next year.

I called Sara's on very short notice to have a cake made, what they put together was amazing. I was overwhelmed with what I received, I gave them a short explanation of what I wanted. Marble cake with buttercream frosting and they did the rest. UNBELIEVABLE!!!

We hired Sara's Sweets to make a custom cake for our rehearsal dinner which was on Halloween. We wanted a blood spatter looking cake. Not only was the cake exactly what we were looking for appearance wise, it tasted delicious. Guests raved about it! They even delivered it to our local restaurant. Thank you thank you!

We ordered an 8" bride & groom cut cake for our wedding and it turned out beautifully. We needed a gluten free cake, and it was so delicious I wanted to eat more of it after we did the initial cut. They also decorated it beautifully with real flowers. I made a mistake and forgot to ask the florist to set aside flowers for the cake, and our bakery delivery person refused to leave until we received the flower decorations on our cake that we had paid for. We very much appreciated that!

Ordered a cake and was beyond impressed with the customer service and the attention to detail on the design of the cake. The cake was delicious and received a lot of compliments on it. Highly recommend!!!

Ordered a custom cake shaped like a dog bowl for my daughter's first birthday and I couldn't be more happy with the results. It looked and tasted fantastic and my baby loved it.
