Sugar & Spice catered a community event in our neighborhood. I don't think we've ever received such positive feedback from any other previous caterer. Ask the food items were fantastic. Biggest raves were for the mashed potatoes. We had a great assortment of cookies, cupcakes and brownies for the dessert table. All were great! Looking forward to having this great caterer at a future event!

Picked up Chiefs cakes (3) on Saturday. They were on a shelving unit awaiting pickup. Unfortunately, they had not been refrigerated so driving with them, not a very far distance, was a disaster. All cakes had slid and sagged. If they had been refrigerated I believe we would have had a different outcome.

These ladies are absolutely AMAZING! From the moment we met them we just fell in love, we love the family business. Their cake and cupcakes are the best I have ever tasted, the frosting reminded us of my grandmas and it made that even more special! They truly put their whole heart and energy into everything they do, they always have a smile on their face and give off such happy energy! They have become our friends, not just who made our cake and cupcakes!
They made our wedding cake look stunning, they had 5 different flavors of cupcakes and made our rehearsal dinner cake. Their food is amazing as well, I will always recommend them for any catering needs because they are just so good. For them it is not all about the food and desserts, it is truly making the couples happy, giving them what they really want and building a friendship. Thank you all for everything you have done for us, all night I got compliments on that wedding cake flavor! You guys are the best!
