Sue Faina

I found Sue online and ordered our 25^th wedding anniversary cake because of her reviews and I’m so glad I did. Sue was wonderful to work with and the cake was awesome. It was so beautiful and tasted great. I never got to decide on my first wedding cake so it was a blast working with her to create this cake with a seaside theme. I will be using her again.

Sue is the best! I just recently got married and she could not wait to do our cake. Since she is a huge San Francisco Giants fan and my now husband is also a huge fan you can only imagine what we came up with for our cake. Since i’m gluten free she was able to work around that and made sure I was able to have part of the cake gluten free. Even after finding out she had had a family emergency just before my wedding and she stayed up for like 2 days straight to make sure all 3 wedding cakes were done and delivered for that weekend. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. Everyone loved the cake and raved about how good it was. Can’t wait to find another reason for her to make our cake :)

Why I would recommend Sue!
1) Very personable– She sounded so sweet and professional over the phone, which was what drew me to her. At the consult, she made me feel right at home. I felt like I had known her for a long time!
2) Awesome Communication– She responded to my phone calls promptly, which showed me she was interested in having me as a client!
3) Delicious, Great Quality Cake– I tried three filling flavors and loved each one! The frosting was delicious! The cake was moist and freshly baked!
4) Lots of Options– She offers many different cake, frosting and filling flavors. She has many different designs to choose from, or you can create your own designs. If you can think it, Sue can create it! Sue can customize your cake for any occasion. Don’t hesitate to tell Sue exactly what you want, even if you think the design may be too complicated.
5) Experienced– She knows what she is doing! ALL of her cakes are gorgeous! You can tell that she takes her time with each cake, and doesn’t slap them together. They are all even, and none of them lean.
6) Very Cost Effective– You get a great quality product at a very affordable price!
I can’t stop looking at the sketch of my wedding cake! Sue helped me create my dream cake, and I can’t wait until my wedding to see the finished product!

A consummate professional the baking industry’s pleased to have take on any orders, no matter how difficult or small or large in scope. We ordered cupcakes from Sue in celebration of my birthday shortly ago. Through prompt contact, creative displays and delicious assortment does Sue complete any request to absolute perfection. Definitely seek her out for any cake eatable splendor! Highly recommend

The Best!!! I ordered my wedding cake from Sue, and had an amazing experience. She welcomed me into her home to discuss the design, and go over my options. She treated me like family, I had an amazing time with her. She was also very flexible and patient with me, as I seemed to change my mind a million times. My cake turned out beautiful, I couldn’t believe how stunning it was. And the cake tasted amazing too, I keep hearing from my guests «BEST WEDDING CAKE I HAVE EVER HAD!» I highly recommend Sue, and I honestly believe your search should end here!

I’ve had the opportunity to have Sue’s cakes a couple of times and without a doubt, they were the best cakes I have EVER tasted. The cakes were moist, fillings were divine and beautiful does not even begin to describe the presentation. Absolutely breathtaking. I am definitely ordering a cake from Sue for my wedding anniversary!!!

Sue is the best cake person in (and out) of town. I can’t say enough good things about Sue and her cakes! We were looking for someone to do a Day of The Dead wedding cake. We showed her a cake we liked that was very challenging, thinking she would do something not as complicated as we didn’t have a lot of time or money. Not only did she do the cake just as well, but she also did it for very little money and let us keep the skull cake pan, which is a good excuse for a Halloween party. When I totally screwed up and said I could pick up the cake and then realized I couldn’t she fixed my mistake and made sure the cake was delivered. The best part… THE CAKE TASTED AMAZING! My only regret of my wedding is that I didn’t get to eat more cake. When the wedding ended we couldn’t fit the remaining cake in the freezer, so I was eating it (and eating it, it had to stop. I had to throw it away because I’m trying to lose 30 pounds. **Sniff** Sometimes I want to rescue it from the trash, but then I’d have to go to an Overeaters Anonymous meeting.) It was days old and still absolutely excellent. I was sad we couldn’t keep it in our freezer for our first anniversary. My husband said that we will have Sue make a cake for our first anniversary. I can’t wait!

My friend ordered her wedding cake from Sue. And i was in charge of making sure everything was in order that day of the wedding. Sue came early and she started setting up immediately. I saw the cake and it was absolutely beautiful!!! I thought I had to tell her what the bride wanted on the cake, but she knew exactly how to decorate it. She even set up the cutlery for us.
As for the taste, it was delicious!!! It was light and I loved the center of the cake. I didn’t know what cream it was, but it was so good! I wished there was more, actually I wished i had my own cake to myself! It was one of the best wedding cakes that I’ve ever had. And I’ve been to over a dozen weddings! I highly recommend Sue if you are looking for the perfect wedding cake.

Sue baked the cake for our wedding and it was absolutely beautiful. She works out of her home and our tasting was a very personal experience. She bakes a personal cake for you and you can take the rest home. :)

Sue did such a beautiful job on my mom’s 60^th birthday cake! I was in awe! Not only was it beautiful, but it was the most delicious cake I have ever tasted. She was very patient with me on the phone while I tried to put together what I wanted, as there is such a wide selection of cakes, fillings and frostings, color combinations etc. I wanted something unique in flavors. She recommended the chocolate cake with raspberries and white chocolate mouse filling! OMG! I didnt want to stop at one slice! Thank you Sue, everyone loved it and my mom never had such a special cake as this one!

Sue designed our wedding cake for our September 2010 wedding. She listened to what my husband and I wanted and created a beautiful and delicious cake. Our guests loved the cake so much that some of them had multiple slices. Thanks Sue for making our wedding a sweet affair!

I wish I could say enough to thank Sue at Sue Faina Cakes for her AMAZING cake! Sue was one of the first vendors we met so long ago and I still remember sitting in her living room tasting cakes and being overwhelmed by my design options! All I had to do was point out just a few examples and from a tiny photo… she created my dream cake!
Wedding Cake is a tradition that almost everyone looks forward to! The special way we chose to display the cake right in the center of the room helped showcase the elegant and beautiful cake she created for us. As for taste… I am not exaggerating when I say that I have tasted more than 100 wedding cakes in my career in the hotel industry, and hers was the most delicious, fresh, moist, creamy, and luscious and perfectly balanced flavored cake I’d ever had in my life! I can’t wait to order another cake from her someday!
We met with Sue and told her a special story of our cake topper and she captured the elegance and design we dreamed of. When the wedding was over, we literally had family members asking to eat the leftovers! It was gone in minutes!
Sue was even kind enough to leave ME a thank you note and lovely candle in a gift bag as thanks for choosing her. She has style and class that is rare amongst vendors these days. She is humble and doesn’t make you feel like you are bothering her with questions or design ideas. You can tell she loves what she does and has a natural talent for it!
I look forward to working with her again and intend to order several cakes over the years… we’ve found a special way to celebrate… and good thing she has lots of flavors yet to try!
I recommend her chocolate hazelnut and carrot cake. You’ll feel as if you’ve had a slice of homemade fresh cake with every bite… not that frozen less than fresh approach of other bakers (other more expensive bakers!!!).
Thanks Sue! We love you!

Wow– that’s all I can say for Sue’s cakes after trying one at a recent bridal shower. The frosting is thick but not rich, the cake was moist, and the decorations were so cute! I will not hesitate to use Sue’s cakes and designs for upcoming birthdays or parties.

Sue was a delight to work with. She has such a passion for what she does and it shows in everythibg she creates! I was absolutely blown away by the wedding cake she made for us! It was beautiful and delicious… better than I could have ever dreamed of! We can’t wait for our one year anniversary so we can have Sue make a small version of our cake! Thanks Sue!

I love Sue’s cakes! I have had her cake at three weddings that I have attended and everytime it has been perfect. I am not a fan of carrot cake but decided to try a piece of Sue’s. OMG it was amazing. So fresh, moist and perfect. Her buttercream is so yummy. I highly recommend her!!!

I went to Sue for a tasting for my wedding based on the recommendation of my day of coordinator and some people on theknot.
Her actual cake is great. Super moist, tasty, not too sweet. She bakes you an entire cake (and it’s BIG) and charges you extra (for good reason, you get a whole cake!) if you want to try more than one flavor. It’s all fresh baked, not frozen or old samples. And she’s a nice lady.
I gotta say though the buttercream was not the ‘real’ thing, was WAY too thick (I took the left overs to work the next day and one of my co-​workers compared it to spackle)… it was american buttercream instead of swiss or French (which are made over the stovetop) and was just toothachingly sweet. She’s a home baker, not a pastry chef, so when I asked her if she could do a different type of buttercream, she said she didn’t know how.
Overall, if you like really sweet american buttercream, give her a shot. If you don’t… keep looking.

At least one part of your wedding should be a stress-​free no-​brainer, for cryin’ out loud! The cake part is a good place to start.
Sue works from home to make her exceptional cakes. You can visit her in Clayton for a sampling.
She makes delicious, moist, amazing cakes suitable for weddings and any other occaision. (I think her cakes are much better than even Katrina Rozelle, and we tasted every flavor). Our wedding cake was brilliant: a chocolate dream with pale yellow icing, swirls and curls and the words «happily ever after.» I definately recommend bringing magazine cut outs of what you like, though she has photos of previous cakes she’s made.
Its simply the best price for the best cake. Unbelievable deal, great creativity and a wonderful stress-​free person to work with. AND she let us borrow (with deposit) an elegant cake stand.
