“OMG my sister loved the cake. It was so moist and delicious…She bragged about it so much everyone wants a piece. We’ll definitely be ordering again…You really made her day with that cake. She was so excited when she saw it. I’ve never seen her so happy about a cake before”- Alexia

“I put my order in two days before I needed it...I didn’t have a great idea of what I wanted but I knew I wanted something that will have people shocked and delivered just that and on time... She came up with a amazing idea and the cake taste as great as it looked...thank you once again and I look forward to doing more business...” - O. White

“What can I say? Charnelle was absolutely UHHHHMAZING!!! First, the cake tasted just as amazing as it looked. Seriously....Her cake is SOOOOOOOO GOOD! Me and my boyfriend loveeee cake and she got our stamp of approval, lol....Once the cake was cut and the cupcakes were distributed, I kept hearing people comment on how moist and delicious the cake was (Still moist 3 days later people!)… From coming up with the design, to choosing the flavors all the way to delivery, this collaboration was brilliant. I say collaboration because she really works WITH you and makes sure your needs are met. I never really had an exact design in my head. I told her I wanted a champagne bottle top because it was a celebration and that my boyfriend loved his gold Cuban link chain and money, and allowed her to get creative… Charnelle is the definition of CLUTCH and as far as all your party dessert needs go, there is no other than “Designs N’ Delights” !!! I look forward to working with Charnelle for all my future event needs! I say allllll this to say that Charnelle is the one to get the job done and I don’t know another that could cover for her… wishing you more success, prosperity and blessings…” -S. Durrant
