Gwen's cakes are beautiful, and delicious to boot. We had four separate cakes, each a different flavor cake, and filling combination. We had a spice cake with caramel filling, a Banana Split cake, a marble cake that was soaked in Kahlua, with Frangelico/hazelnut mousse, and a white cake with apricot, and cassata filling. The cakes were so popular that we barely managed to get two pieces to take home with us, besides the top layer which was the spice cake. In fact the Kahlua cake was so popular, that if Lance and I hadn't of cut that cake during the cake cutting ceremony, we never would have tasted it. Her chocolate fountains are also to die for. That was a huge hit after dinner.P.S. Gwen, I will be ordering more of the marble cake with Kahlua, and Frangelicoin the next couple of weeks. Lance has requested that as his birthday cake. We'll also probably take a couple of small one up to my parents, they didn't get to try that cake either. Also up to my stepmom, she didn't make the wedding.

The cake was amazing. She was able to replicate our exact desires. It tasted amazing as well. As I expected, people left our wedding commenting that it was the best cake they ever had. I had no intention on freezing the top layer, but soon changed my mind after tasting the cakeThank you

Gwen was so easy to work with. Our wedding cake was delicious that we ended up running out.

I researched nearly 20 cake companies in the metro Detroit area looking for the best value without having to sacrifice design and flavor. Gwen was able to make my beautiful cake for an affordable price and still have a different and unique flavor for each layer. I noticed a lot of designers limit you to 1 or 2 flavors or they have each cake already paired with filling. Gwen may make suggestions but the decision is up to you. We went to our tasting and as I was talking to her about what I like and don't like she busily sketched away. Magicly she designed my dream cake. It's almost like she was inside my head. She has a very good knack of sketching a person's personality into a cake. I will admit I dislike cake but Gwen's cake is delicious!

The cake was delicious and was equally beautiful. They did a great job of making my wedding day that much more memorable. I would reccommend them to everyone because they truly care about the customer.

Gwen is amazing. She is so creative. Our cake was so unique and beautiful. We had three different flavors and they were all amazing.

I wish I would've known that Ms. Gwen was a vendor on the site, because I would've left her a comment a while ago...but she is the absolute best! She was very esasy to work with and very patient, being that my husband is very picky. She answered all of our questions, and during the tasting she took time to explain every sample! Everyone loved our cupcake tower, they were so delicious. My husband hates choclate, but when he tasted her chocolate cupcakes he was in love! She was very, very helpful,and service was great!

While we did taste cakes/frosting that were better than Trifles, Trifles was by far the least expensive baker for what we received. Our bridal and groom's cakes were gorgeous and delicious. Trifles was very flexible with flavors and mixing layers. We've ordered several more cakes from Trifles because we were so happy with their service and product.

Our cake was awesome and so was Gwen. She delivered our cake and set it up and it was so delicious. Our guests were raving about it all night.

After tasting a delicious wedding cake from Trifles, I had to go with them for my own wedding. The cake tasted as good as I remembered and looked absolutely beautiful. They were also extremely flexible with what I wanted. Highly recommended!

Gwen, the owner and founder of Trifles, is a phenomenally talented baker and artist. She made both our wedding cake and our groom's cake, which was designed as a surprise for the groom to look like Spaceship Earth (the park icon in Epcot at Walt Disney World), and both of them turned out better than I had imagined, not to mention tasting absolutely fantastic. The quality of her work is something that ourselves and most of her clients do not forget; I'm sure we will be going back to her for more cakes in the future. We mostly corresponded via e-mail, and it sometimes took a week or so for Gwen to respond; she is extremely busy and this is very obvious at times.

Trifles has been in business since 2001. Everything is unique;from the shoppe to the cakes to the owner. There, creativity is key. Take a look at the extensive portfolio to be amazed. There is simply no reason to look elsewhere. P.S. The cake tasted WONDERFUL too! We go back and order a smaller version of the same for our anniversary.

Gwen was a complete lifesaver! My husband and I had planned on making the cup cakes for our wedding cup cake tower ourselves with the help of some friends but as the big day got closer we realized that we just weren't going to have the time to bake over 150 cupcakes! Trifles is my mothers favorite chocolate shop so she called Gwen a week before our wedding and she was able to squeeze us in between 5 other wedding cakes she was doing that day! Sure my dad picked up the cupcakes and my aunt put the display together, but we were planning on that anyway. The cupcakes are delicious and we will be forever indebted to Gwen for being able to do such a beautiful job on such short notice!
