Tampa Bay Wedding Cakes and Desserts: A Piece of Cake

Tampa Bay weddings simply aren't complete without the perfect dessert to celebrate your love in a sweet way. Not only is a cake or dessert a traditional part of a wedding, it's something that most guests, including us, look forward to at each wedding we attend.

We've had the privilege of sampling the most decadent cakes from Tampa Bay's best wedding cakes and dessert bakeries over the years, including those from A Piece of Cake and Desserts.

Owner and cake designer Laurie Ryan uses her creativity to provide clients a fully custom experience from flavor to design. Her popcorn favor bar option was a big hit at our Marry Me Tampa Bay Membership director's wedding and had guests coming back for more all night.

Laurie's passion for desserts and fulfilling her clients expectations is evident just by looking (and tasting) her masterpieces.

Reviews From Previous Marry Me Tampa Bay Brides:

“We chose to have a dessert table because some people may not like cake, but may like pie. Plus, we had kids of all ages who may like cookies instead. We chose a wide variety of desserts so that people would have more options, and they loved it because everything was gone by the end of the night. A Piece of Cake had the most variety of desserts, and if I came up with something that wasn't on the list, the owner, Laurie, had no problem creating it. Their service and desserts far exceeded my expectations, and they set it up so beautifully on the table, I almost didn't want to touch it.” – Previous Bride Michelle | Rustic Dade City Wedding 

Tampa Bay Wedding Cake Bakery A Piece of Cake As owner and active operator, Laurie Ryan loves making confections for any occasion. Nothing gives her more pleasure than to hear from our clients afterwards that people were coming up for two or three pieces of cake. She started baking simple things likes jelly filled cookies and doughnuts for her mother, and her first pastry job was head pastry chef at the Island Way Grill, making all cakes and desserts, as well as coming up with innovative dessert displays. Laurie also was the wedding cake specialist at the Grand Hyatt on Rocky Point, working closely with the Executive Chef making Sunday brunch items and hotel amenity treats such as homemade key lime pie marshmallows. She continues her love and passion of the art of confections and hopes to have the opportunity to work with many more wonderful clients to come!
