Janan is amazing! She made cupcakes for our wedding reception a few months ago and we received so many compliments on the flavors and the presentation of the cakes. Janan took the time to a tasting of the several custom flavors we requested as well as a few more we allowed as a part of her creative freedom to create the flavors and presentation she thought would work. Most of the flavors we chose were the ones she came up with but she really knows her stuff. Janan was great at communicating with us before the reception to make sure everything would be set for the big day. She did such a great job that we had her make a custom cake for my Dad's 65th birthday a couple months later. Once again she surprised us with her level of creativity and passion for what she does. Thank you so much and we can't wait to order again soon!

The Cake Diva was a joy to work with! Professional, attentive, and very talented. All our guests are still, a month later, talking about the amazing cake pops. I can only hope we have another reason to order more tasty confections from the Diva!!!!

My husband and I loved working with Janan. We had the most incredible cake with two delicious layers. We ended up eating the whole cake at the wedding so for our one year we plan to just buy another! :) I would highly recommend having Janan make any bride's wedding cake since it was beautifully done and delicious.

Janan was awesome to work with! She has wonderful, creative ideas and created the MOST Beautiful and Tasteful cake. My husband and I fell in love with the nutella and buttercream filling and she came up with the idea to add Kaluha to the nutella and then, the almond cake she added hazelnuts to compliment the nutella filling. It was to die for, and I wish I could have another piece of it, whenever I think about it! Her fondant draping and creativity with the flowers and peacock feathers made it Stunning! She was efficient and I never felt that I had to worry about a thing! Thanks again Janan for helping to make our special day...even more special!

it was a delight to work with the Cake Diva because she was quick to respond to communication, always arrived when we expected her, did exactly what she said she would, and best of all her cakes are absolutely delicious!! As the Mother of the Bride, I needed to have total confidence in The Cake Diva and I did. When we went outside for the wedding ceremony there wasn't any wedding cake, but when we came back inside there was the wedding cake on the table decorated with the fresh roses the florist left for her, and rose petals adorning the table top. I never saw The Cake Diva on the wedding day, but everything was exactly as we expected.

I am so glad we went with The Cake Diva to create our wedding cake. She is very professional, flexible, courteous, thoughtful, and her cakes are DELICIOUS!!! The value you get for your money cannot be beat. Janan gave us exactly what we wanted and more than we expected. The quality of her cakes is impeccable, at a price you can afford! We could tell that Janan really cares about providing high quality homemade cakes and perfectly designing them for your occasion and theme. Working with Janan was sort of like working with an old family friend. She was so welcoming, friendly, and nice to us and even met us at her St. Paul location because it was more convenient for us. Brides and Grooms: Look no further for your wedding cake baker. Seriously, stop the search here! Check this off of your to-do list and let The Cake Diva work her magic for you, too! We will definitely be going to Janan for our special occasion cakes in the future! THANK YOU CAKE DIVA!!!
Happy Bride

At our wedding we provided each table with it's own wedding cake. Janan at the Cake Diva helped turn our fun idea into a wonderful experience for our guests. She recommended different cake combinations (cake/frosting/filling)and brought decorating ideas to our first meeting so we could visualize each tables unique experience. Not only did the cakes look great they tasted amazying! It's been weeks since our wedding and we are still hearing about how great the cakes were and how fun it was to have different cakes to try. I highly recommend Cake Diva to anyone who wants a stress free, fun, classy and delicious wedding cake experience.

My younger sister and her fiance of one year decided (all of a sudden) that they were getting married in less than three weeks. As I was helping my sister plan the ceremony, dress, reception, ect, the cake slipped our minds. When I remembered, I decided I would surprise her with a nice cake. I called several local vendors and Janan was the first to respond (and also had a very impressive photo log on her website). She was incredible when it came to helping choose cake & frosting flavors and made a PERFECT cake with the exact style I was hoping for in less than 2 weeks! She even delivered it to the venue for me! Janan is wonderful! Go to her!

The name says it all! We got our highly personalized wedding cake from The Cake Dive- the only way to go. The service is supreme, and our cake was rich and creamy. Our wedding was in June and The Cake Diva took care of EVERYTHING leaving us to enjoy our day worry-free. We enjoyed the cake so much we also ordered a birthday cake from The Cake Diva, as expected it was superb, and she even delivered it to the restaraunt where we were celebrating!

Janan Juliff, The Cake Diva, made us a beautiful wedding cake for our wedding on May 29th 2010. Both my husband and I live in Boston MA and our wedding was held in Minneapolis MN. Not having a whole lot of time to plan on site, Janan was great about planning over the phone and via email. She was very flexible with our time frame. We had limited time to do a taste test before the wedding. On a short trip out to MN, she made a special trip out to the house we were staying in order to do the taste test. We knew we wanted a opera theater themed wedding cake. We gave Janan a few pictures and she designed us a wonderful cake. It was more beautiful than anything we expected. My mother in-law wanted to make our cake topper and Janan was very flexible with her schedule and planned everything with her over the phone. We only had a week before the wedding, in MN and she helped everything come together with our cake without any problems. We would like to say, thank you very much for your help in making our wedding a perfect day. Kat and Garrett Herzig

When I walked into our reception the first thing that stopped me in my tracks was the cake. It was absolutely stunning! We really didn't want to do cake in the beginning, but then had a change of heart when we met Janan. The cakes she brought for us to taste test were absolutely wonderful. (I seriously never had a cake that tested that good) My guest still talk about how wonderful the cake was!! Not only did it taste great, but it really was a beautiful piece of art.

While her cake is delicious, we did not find her very flexible or easy to work with. She actually offered to cancel our cakes when we didn't get back to her with our count earlier than the date we agreed on. My husband insisted we never hire her again. Against my better judgment, I contacted her to make us something for our anniversary this year, and she totally flaked.

The Cake Diva was great to work with for our wedding and groom's cakes. She responded in a timely manner to all of our e-mails. She met with us for a consultation at a location that was convenient for us. She had great ideas for our cakes and her cakes are a great value for the money. The cake was super tasty and we got lots of compliments at our wedding! I would recommend her to any bride or anyone else looking for a great cake for an event!
