I first met Jaunita and her fabulous cakes when I was looking for a wedding cake for my May 2007 wedding. I must begin by saying I work for a high-end restaurant company so I have nortorious high standards for quality of ingredients and customer service. After first bite of Dulce's cake at a Bridal show, I was hooked I had never tried a cake quite like it rich, creamy, decadent but not overally sweet. After a weekend of craving more of her cakes I scheduled an appointment for my fiance and I to meet Jaunita, she accomodated our schedules completely and it felt like we were invited into her home. Before I could even try the chocolate icing my fiance ate the entire plate of cake he also could not believe the melt-in-your-mouth quality of Dulce's cakes. Jaunita told us of her passion for high quality ingredients how she made all of her cakes from scratch and even makes her own caramel and lemon curd. We were blown away, we fell in love with her ideas for our wedding, her cakes, her passion and her!!\r

We obviously booked her, and our wedding and groom cakes were stunning in presentation and taste and her service was impeccable! I have also called on Jaunita in need of her desserts for other occasions (mostly cause I couldn't wait till my wedding to have that cake). I served her cupcakes at a dinner party, and my guests were speechless upon tasting her vast variety of delightful mini-cakes!! I recommend dulce de leche, my favorite flavor. I purchased a Berry Neapolitan for my boss's birthday and now he is a raving fan too! My favorite story however, is Jaunita was able to recreate for my parent's 20th wedding anniversary an exact replica of their very 1987-ish wedding cake, mauve frosting and all!!!\r

The service is over the top, and the desserts simply can't be put in to words you must put them in your mouth!! Dulce is reminiscent of times gone by, when shop owner's knew their customer's names and took deep pride and passion in the products they served.
Pros: Amazing from scratch desserts!
Cons: None to be seen, unless you count the calories to my thighs! ahahah!!!
