Amazing cake!
Chef Gina made us an amazing gluten free wedding cake and sheet cake for our guests! She was very easy to communicate with and even offered a tasting to go which we enjoyed very much! I was so happy to have a cake that I could enjoy without worrying about my gluten allergy.

Gorgeous and delicious cake!
Chef Gina made our beautiful one tier wedding cake. She was very communicative during our tasting and when we were figuring out our cake design, and the actual cake on the day of was gorgeous and delicious! We had family members clashing over who got the last slice of leftovers it was so good.

Best thing I ate all week
I had a destination wedding in Canton (at the Pro Football Hall of Fame). We were there for 6 days and our wedding cake was the best thing I ate all week. I had three pieces at my reception! Not to mention it was gluten-free and my guests didn't even know. There was barely any left to take home. The to-go style of cake tasting was a lot of fun. We made a trip over Christmas and picked up several flavors of cake and frosting. There was enough for us to share with both of our families. For 75 guests we did the largest two-tiered cake offered. The bottom layer was GF chocolate with toffee-coffee buttercream and cream cheese frosting. The top tier was GF lemon with strawberry buttercream. I sent Chef Gina some inspiration photos and she made exactly what I had in mind. It was our football teams' colors marbled into white buttercream. The only negative is that I don't live anywhere close to Ohio and I looked on our website to see if she ships to Los Angeles (I don't think so).

Best Wedding Choice!
Chef Gina was wonderful to work with for our wedding! From the consultation, to the tasting and wedding day, she handled everything with ease and great communication. We chose to have cake for half of our guests and then a dessert bar and it was a hit with all the variety of options. Everything was so delicious and worked out wonderfully. Would definitely work with Gina again.

So Good!
I can’t say enough good things about Chef Gina’s Bakeshop! From the beginning she was so easy to work with and very responsive. We had cupcakes, dessert shooters, and cake cops, along with a red velvet cake for us to cut. Our guests ate every last piece of dessert and raved about how good everything was!
