"Dessert First exceeded every expectation for my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. I worked with Meka, who was incredibly responsive and collaborative; she perfectly executed my vision of replicating the look of my parents' original wedding cake from five decades ago. The two-tier cake was stunning, but the flavor was the true highlight. The lemon top tier and chocolate with chocolate mousse bottom tier were both exceptionally moist and rich. It is rare to find a cake that balances such beautiful artistry with genuine, high-quality taste. This local bakery is a Kalamazoo treasure and an absolute must-try"

"Owner was extremely friendly and welcoming! Great options for breakfast/lunch, and desserts ready to go in the case for walk in orders. Location was super clean, will definitely be back to support local!"

"The apple spice cake was amazing!!! And the banana pudding to die for! Great customer service and I could tell they had passion for what they do. Definitely a hidden gem you must stop for."

"Ordered a confetti cake for 7-10 people with vanilla buttercream frosting. We all agreed it was one of the most delicious cakes we have ever had! It easily could’ve fed another 5 people due to its 4 layers. I loved that they were able to put an oriole bird on it too! It was a very memorable cake and we will be ordering again!"

"I have ordered two cakes from Dessert First, a 50th birthday cake and a small wedding cake, and both were absolutely incredible! I really appreciated how easy they were to work with, and both cakes exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend Dessert First for any special occasion!"
