One Sunday morning, Laura was attending church service when all of a sudden the pastor called her up to stand in front of the congregation. Telling the people in the room about Laura's dreams of one day owning her own bakery, he gave her $60 to invest in her business. When she left the church that day, Laura found herself with a total of $10,000 that members of the congregation had generously given to her.
It was their way of telling her to follow her dreams. The seed money and the overwhelming love and support she received gave Laura the boost to finally open her bakery. With the help of her business coach, Laura turned her love for baking into a successful, home-grown business. Along the way she's become a certified Master Cake Decorator, and an award-winning Sugar Artist.

My husband and I came down to Waco from Michigan to celebrate our anniversary. We read an article in the Waco Today magazine about this special bakery, and just had to try it out. The cupcakes were the best I've ever had! So moist and flavorful, it was difficult to choose just one! The cakes are absolutely beautiful.

Can’t recommend Sweetness Desserts enough! I ordered a baby shower cake and cupcakes in the Here Comes the Bride flavor, since it seemed like a simple flavor that most guests would enjoy. But I didn’t realize just how much they’d enjoy it! The mother-to-be absolutely RAVED about how delicious the cake was and several guests said they were the best cupcakes they’ve ever had. Laura and her staff did an amazing job and I’m so grateful. Highly recommend Sweetness Desserts!

So, I did my best to explain instructions on a custom cake I wanted via email. With sizing, color, etc.
The cake on left is what I wanted a duplicate of, minus the brown icing color and no pecans on the top (wanted it changed to green like the carrot stem). The cake on the right is what was made for me...
Don't get me wrong, it looks classy and elegant and fancy, but that's not really the cake I wanted to pay for because it wasn't what I was expecting. It tastes decent, the design just isn't what I specified for it was my only issue with it.
Maybe it's because I do graphic design for a living

This bakery is sublime. I love the way their cake is flavorful, and the icing is the sweet part. I’d eat their pumpkin spice cupcake on the regular (even without the excellent cream cheese cinnamon icing). I want the recipe. But, I will just have to stop by when in Waco. You can definitely get your natural pumpkin spice fix here. Highly recommend
