We have used them the last four years for our Annual School Auction. The desserts are amazing. Their attention to detail is impeccable. And they are so professional and kind.I

Chef Marie, is such a sweet and fun person. Not only that, she and her husband make amazing cakes! I merely googled wedding cakes in Tampa and their reviews and pictures stood out to me the most. We had a tiramasu cake with salted caramel buttercream. It was amazing and they designed it so beautifully!! I highly recommend them for any event.

I can’t express how wonderful it was to work with Chef Marie. She listened to what my daughter’s vision was and absolutely prepared a wedding cake that was unbelievably beautiful and delicious. She is truly an artist and I would not hesitate to work with her again. Thank you Chef Marie!!

As a wedding planner, having professionals I can count on to deliver fantastic work consistently is a necessity. Chef Marie hits it out of the park every time!In early 2022, another bakery unexpectedly closed and left me without a cake 3 weeks before a wedding. Luckily, I was able to call Chef Marie and she squeezed me into her packed schedule and delivered a work of art. My clients were smiling ear to ear when I showed them the cake, and the guests were blown away.Chef Marie, thank you for going above and beyond for me every time! I look forward to many more projects together in the future.

Very disappointed with the end product of a 50th anniversary wedding cake that was ordered from this company. No one enjoyed the taste and it helped to put a damper on what should have been a great and memorable day. Literally could have bought a better cake from a nearby grocery store and have the catering team at the property enhance it for us. A total waste of time and money. Would never recommend to anyone and informed the hotel to take off their vendors list. Total bomb.

Chef Marie and the team at Hands On Sweets was such a delight to work with for our wedding cake. Every planning call with Chef Marie was a ton of fun, and her professional expertise and contagious laugh made the entire design process a joy. She navigated the groom’s life-threatening nut allergy with grace and professionalism, and she was a true partner with creative ideas and recommendations each time we spoke. Most importantly, the cake was breathtaking and absolutely delicious - the best wedding cake I have ever had, no question! We highly recommend you work with Hands On Sweets for your next celebration.

I had the best experience with Chef Marie. She was accommodating, friendly, professional, and simply the best. The graduation cake I requested surpassed my expectations. The cake was gorgeous. The decorations were beautiful. The taste was delicious. I cannot thank you enough for everything. Thank you thank you thank you!
Words cannot describe how Chef Carlos, Chef Marie, and the entire team at Hands on Sweets made my forty birthday party an enchanting evening that will always be remembered!! They listened to my vision and made it a dream come true. The look of the cake was out of this world, and the taste of each layer was made with so much love! Their an amazing set of people that will always have me as a customer for life! Thank you guys ❤️??

Wow is all we can say! Marie is not only sweet, she is very creative and artistic in her designs. The "sugar flower" design she created on the cake was so intricate, it looked real. We would highly recommend "Hand On Sweet" for your wedding cake choice. And not a surprise, the cake was also delicious and liked by all the guest.

While they specialize in wedding cakes, they are incredible at making other cakes too! We ordered a Winnie the Pooh hunny pot cake for our daughter’s birthday party and it was stunning! The details of the cake were beyond perfect and it was delicious!

This great tampa couple did my daughters 3rd birthday cake a couple years back. They did such an amazing job. Their specialty is wedding cakes but when i was running out of options I chose them! (They are pretty pricey but that’s because they deliver QUALITY) I’m glad I did though because in my search for someone to design her cake no one was willing to do exactly what I wanted. Hands On Sweets told me they would make it exactly as I requested and there wouldn’t be any issues and that’s exactly what they delivered. They delivered to the party and laid everything down and asked if I had any concerns or if I was happy with my service. I ordered a cake, cookies and matching cake pops. Unicorn themed! Everything tasted as good as it looked! I’m not sure why I took so long to make this review years later BUT they deserve 5 stars! Better late than never! Thank you for such a beautiful memory my daughter will have to look back at.

Chef Marie is absolutely amazing to work with. We first met her at a wedding expo and fell in love with her beautiful designs and delicious cakes and knew that we wanted to have her create our perfect wedding cake. During the initial consultation, Marie was wonderful at helping guide us and create a vision for our cake based on all of the details/elements that were important to us. It was difficult at first for us to completely envision what we wanted, but Marie was able to quickly take our thoughts and put together a perfect sketch/representation to match our overall theme. The cake tasting was one of our favorite parts of the entire wedding planning process and Marie was able to offer some really great recommendations as far as pairings for cake flavors & fillings. Every cake and filling we tasted was absolutely amazing. We had such a hard time deciding which we liked best that we ended up going with two different flavor options. Seeing the cake brought to life on our actual wedding day was incredible. The cake itself was stunning and we can honestly say it was just as excellent of quality and flavor on the wedding day as when we did our initial tasting. We also had Marie make custom cookies as take-home treats for our wedding guests which also turned out perfect - everyone loved them! We truly love Marie's work and would highly recommend Hands on Sweets for any important event cake/pastry/dessert needs!
