Our daughter was married on May 23 and we had a small, family reception at Mere Bulles in Brentwood. None of us lives in middle Tennessee, but we made a trip there a few weeks before the wedding to get everything set. On a word-of-mouth recommendation, we visited Dulce Desserts and met with Juanita, the owner. She sold us. Within a few days of exchanging information, including a photo of the style of cake, we had our cake established. On the big day we arrived at the restaurant after the wedding and there sat the cake. Juanita had delivered it and used the hydrangeas that we had left for her to decorate it. It was lovely. But what about taste? Well, delicious hardly does this cake justice. It was a delightful and mouth-watering treat. European butter flavor (and she had stressed that she uses lots of butter), alternating icing on the layers of hazelnut cream and chocolate ganache, then the whole cake iced with buttercream and covered with fondant. Not fond of fondant, you say? Well, you haven't tried Juanita's fondant. It was excellent. We have a family of very good cake bakers and our matriarch was so impressed the we had to send her home with a couple of slices to savor. We simply cannot imagine another cake that would have been more satisfying for our baby daughter's wedding. Thank you Dulce Desserts. Thank you Juanita.
Pros: Outstanding flavor and appearance.
