Ileana provided an incredible product that helped to make our wedding day complete and unique. She was thoughtful in her design and considered our personal style in every aspect of the cake. The design was unique and truly ours. We put our complete trust in her and the result was spectacular! The colors were exact, the sugarwork was impeccable...it exceeded our expectations. After the cake was eaten, we were able to keep the sugar birds that topped the cake, as well as the main layer with the most design. We'll treasure it forever. And let's not forget how delicious the cake was! It was spice cake with hazelnut marscarpone buttercream...perfect for our vintage-inspired fall wedding. The fondant that covered the cake was just as delicious! Overall, the perfect cake! Ileana was easy to work with and so much fun. Her attention to detail was outstanding. Not just with the cake, but with the table set up at the venue as well. Amazing!

Superb on all levels. Ileana made the most beautiful, sophisticated and unique cake for my daughter's wedding reception last weekend at the Queen City Club. Not only was it amazingly beautiful but the taste of the mango tango wedding cake was perfectly matched in freshness and texture with the the elegant dinner that was served (duet of chilean sea bass with lemon butter caper sauce and filet mignon topped with lobster bernaise sauce).
From the moment we met Ileana, there was a connection and understanding of my daughter's vision for her wedding day. During the initial consultation "Brocades and Sari" was born. Professionally, Ileana is complete and thorough. She took her time to visit the wedding venue a month prior to our wedding. She has brought the wedding cake industry to a new level of excellence in Cincinnati.

Ileana at Sugar Realm was our "gift from heaven" during the planning stages of our daughter Tasha's wedding at the Hilton Netherland Plaza in Cincinnati! Our wedding planner, Dora of Viva Bella Events had done a photo shoot with Ileana and recommended that we meet her. From our initial introduction to the final event, it was a match made in heaven! With her background as an Architect, Ileana brought a unique perspective to the design elements of our cake, which ended up being the focal point for the theme of the wedding. Words can't describe how awed we were by the final product. And we now have a special friend in our lives forever!

Sugar Realm was the best vendor we worked with in the process of planning our wedding. From the moment I emailed Ileana to inquire about her wedding cakes, she was responsive and enthusiastic. With only a picture of my dress, Ileana drew up beautiful sketches of wedding cake options for us to choose from, we ate her delicious cake samples and knew we wanted her to make our wedding cake. Once we choose a design Ileana was proactive with going to our reception site to insure the cake and set up would be beautiful, and it was! We can't say enough about how much Sugar Realm exceeded our expectations (and was delicious)!

Ileana of Sugar Realm was amazing to work with. She met with us multiple times to make sure everything was in order. She has amazing artistic ability with architectural flavor. She is extremely organized and professional, but is also warm and caring.
Her mini cakes stole the show, and they tasted as great as they looked!
She was more than just a vendor....she was a friend! I can't say enough about Ileana--and would recommend her to anyone for any occasion!

The cake Sugar Realm created for me was not just a cake, it was a piece of art. It was sophisticated, elegant and tasted DELICIOUS. I had very high expectations on what I wanted for such a special occasion but I have to admit they BY FAR exceeded my expectations!!! I not only loved the end result but also appreciate all the assistance they provided me during the process. They really know how to create a unique design that expresses yourself and what you want to say. I got tons of compliments from everybody. I 100% recommend Sugar Realm for their professional work. They are AMAZING!!

I cannot say enough positive things about sugarrealm. Ileana was so professional and thoughtful, and considered every detail, from the cake itself, to how it was presented and where it was located in the room. I had not given my cake too much thought, but I was able to give Ilieana some general ideas, and she took it from there. The cake was literally a work of art- and delicious, too! Ileana went above and beyond for me, helping with other details, including when my caterer had to cancel due to a family emergency. I highly recommend sugarrealm- you won't be disappointed, and your guests will talk about your cake for years to come!

The cake that Ileana designed for me was stunning, she helped me through the whole process. I was not sure what I really wanted and her creativity and profesionalism made the cake a beauty, perfect for the ocassion, and very tasty too. It was more than a dessert, it was a centerpiece, part of the ambiance and decoration of the party. I would recommend Sugar Realm to any future clients.

The cake that Ileana created was an exceptional, detail-oriented work of art. Her attention to detail and ability to create a unique cake is wonderful. The cake was very tasty and moist and the decoration, was, well, breathtaking.

The cake Sugar Realm provided for our bridal affair was absolutely gorgeous! It not only tasted great, but it was also a work of art (almost too pretty to eat!). What set Sugar Realm apart from the average bakery or cake-provider was that Ileana Saldivia helped us from beginning to end, providing suggestions for tiny details on the cake, to staging the cake so that it was a true highlight of the night. The outward appearance of the cake was amazing! Some of the "gems" were edible, but looked like true jewelry and reflected the mood of the evening. We received so many compliments on it! I would definitely use Sugar Realm again!

We asked for one cake and she came with the idea of having 3...because that was the perfect fit for our event. She designed everything...the cakes (of course) but also the whole theme (all based on the invitations I have already handmade). And the cakes matched perfectly well...they looked as if they had come from the invitation. The set up was AMAZING and I didn't have to worry a bit. She was so professional that helped me with a lot of other details surrounding the event.
Needless is to say, that the cakes tested better than they looked. And they were BEAUTIFUL!!! The flavor was so rich and the cakes so moist that a lot of our guests had seconds. You could smell the cakes from a distance.
I told Ileana that her cakes are not just cakes, they are MASTERPIECES! They tied together of the other details of our important event...becoming the PERFECT final touch for it.

Sugar Realm provided me with a beautiful and delicious cake for our celebration.
I sincerely appreciate the time and the attention that Ileana takes when she is designing the drawing of the cake topper.
I'm impressed with her work, she gets really inspired with her job!

Having my cake from Sugar Realm was a pleasure from beginning to end. The owner cared about my event and was very creative when creating something special for it. The cake itself was delicious, everybody talked about it. The best part was a big piece was left after the event which I enjoyed every night for a week as my reward for a hard working day.
