How Sweet It Is Cakes

  • Cakes & desserts
  • Serves Side Lake, MN

I graduated from UW-Milwaukee with a Bachelor's degree in Printmaking. After graduation I moved to the Duluth area and after a few months was hired on by the previous owner of How Sweet It Is, Eileen Brown. I worked for her for a year and half and then took over the business as it's new owner in 2019. Little had I known when I first started the passion I would find for the work. Now at 26 I can't imagine having another career. I love the creativity I get to use from the starting process of baking to completing the cake with design. I get to spend my days utilizing my degree in ways I didn't imagine and enhancing my passion cake by cake.

My wife and I are extremely happy Lila baked our wedding cake for us! She did all the artistry/ piping on the cake as well as arranging the flowers we brought with us from our florist when we picked up the cake. It looked beautiful and tasted incredible! Thank you for your help making our wedding special!

We arranged our son and daughter in law's rehearsal dinner at Blackwoods and I cannot say enough about what a positive experience it was. The room was spacious (we had close to 51 people) and the staff was kind, professional and available to help with anything we needed. We had a buffet style dinner and our guests commented on the prime rib, saying it was "the best they ever had." Blackwoods staff made the start of our wedding weekend such an enjoyable experience. They easily accommodated us with our "slide show" presentation of the bride and groom and our musical guest which we brought in for dinner music. I would highly recommend them and thank them for the great experience.

I am a musician (I have some stuff on Spotify LOL), I enjoy a nice cup of coffee and I love making videos!! For a typical wedding day, I offer one standard package that spans 9 hours of the day, which usually covers the whole day's events. My main focus throughout the day is getting shots for the highlights video (check out some examples of that). I also spend a great deal of time and care capturing the bigger moments of the day, such as the ceremony, the speeches, the first dances, etc. So my couples have tons of content to watch back. Check out my website for more details and let me know what questions you have :D

Noah, When I booked with you you not once asked for a price you truly deserve to receive. You worked beyond what we could expect. You captured us and our day. You put a focus on us and what our love is. You are flexible to work with. You are reasonable in your expectations and you are so incredibly humble. You continually work to better yourself in your abilities to film what is in front of you. I have no clue how you do it with the crazy schedule you have. Always professional yet a friend. Thank you for making our day perfect for years to come.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

Awarded Best of Zola
I ordered the "peaches and cream" small package. We decided to skip on ceremony florals, and only have handhelds and bud vases at the reception. We did buy a few more flowers from the grocery to add more peach once the flowers arrived. We made and medium sized bridal bouquet, 4 bridesmaids bouquets, 3 corsages, and 7 bouts. (With lots of flowers left over). My bridesmaids and I did the arranging the morning before the wedding; it was fun, and a great start to the weekend. None of us had experience, but it all turned out great! If you or your bridal party are mildly crafty, I'd highly recommend it!

Jen was AMAZING to work with! When it came to flowers for my wedding, I had NO IDEA what I wanted. She was very patient with me and helped talk me through my vision. She gave me flowers to pick from, talked about how big I wanted my bouquet and how much greenery I wanted, and then when I could find colors I liked in swatches, she color-matched the colors I wanted from an inspo pic I found online! She was very professional and patient with me, even when my plans changed or I needed to add to my order.  I am not the best at putting together a bouquet. I am also someone who likes control, especially when it came to planning my wedding. I was thankful that I was able to give Jen the reins, tell her what I wanted, and watch her make my dreams come true. When I first saw my flowers, I was speechless. She truly did make my floral dreams come true, and now I get to keep my bouquet for the rest of my life! A wooden flower bouquet from Jen is the way to go!

To keep things simple, I offer everything in one simple affordable package. I'm there all day long and I wanna be there to capture every single moment. You'll have your videos in three weeks or less.

Awarded Best of Zola
Words can not explain how important Britt was to us on our wedding day. We had initially planned on not hiring a wedding videographer and just sticking to a still photographer. But after hearing from a friend who hired Britt for her wedding about the priceless moments he captured throughout her day, we thought we'd reach out to him. By a miracle, he was available on our date! Britt is an absolute professional. He was so easy to work with throughout our entire wedding day, and he made us feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera. He worked amazingly with our photographer and we felt confident he'd be able to capture the absolute best moments of our day. I am now SO GLAD we made the decision to hire Britt. Watching the wedding videos he put together is like re-living our big day all over again. Being able to see everyone's emotions on video and getting to experience the little moments we missed are invaluable. And those are moments you just cant capture in still photographs. If anyone is on the fence about adding a videographer to your big day, this is your sign! You will not regret hiring Britt. He is worth every penny and more, the memories he captures are absolutely PRICELESS.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
A few things that stood out the most about Isaac were how responsive he was, how he was able to accommodate to our budget, and how he took pictures from angles and views that turned out great on the photos. As a couple with demanding careers, I much appreciated how quickly Isaac was with replying to emails. We had a pretty tight budget, and Isaac was able to offer us a package that landed pretty close to our budget and only had the items that we needed the most (mini engagement photoshoot for the website and wedding day). Our ask for him was to get some candid shots as we feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. I personally think that the wedding day pictures came out more naturally because of the setting being surrounded with friends and families, and Isaac and Sushen did a great job capturing the candid moments beautifully. Isaac even had an idea for me to pose by climbing up a wooden stair ladder for a shot that I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to turn out while doing it, but it ended up turning out beautiful and magazine-like in addition to other ones that he asked us to pose for. Isaac put together a behind the scenes video that also showed the reactions of guests to our photo place cards before we had entered the reception area, and this was lovely in that we got to see our guests' reactions that we weren't able to see.

Devyn Lempke Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding! Devyn is friendly, kind, and had a wonderful sense of humor that put us at ease. Her communication throughout the planning process was top-notch, and they went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and confident on the big day. The photos we received are truly breathtaking - the moments she captured are ones we will treasure forever. Devyn has an incredible eye for detail. We cannot recommend Devyn highly enough to any couple! We have continued to use her for maternity and family photos as well.

HEY! I'M ASHLEY! Aka, Your Professional third wheel! I am so happy you dropped by! I am a uber bubbly, warm hearted, person who loves to order 3 drinks at Dutch Bros and say its for other people but really its just for me. When I am not spending my lifes savings at Dutch Bros, I am professionally following peeps in love and photographing their stories. I am a lover of true crime and murder podcasts! (But I mean who isnt! I just cant help it!) FUN FACT: I speak switzerdütsch, aka a German slang. My mom is originally from Switzerland and my dad from Jamaica, so you know I am always hungry for adventures (and new places to binge eat at).

Hiring Ashley was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She’s bubbly, kind, and makes you feel like you’ve been friends forever. The day of our wedding went by so fast, but every single image she captured brings me back in an instant. She not only captured our love story, but captured our friends and family beautifully. Every silly moment, tender exchange and happy tear was published in our gallery — and for that, I am forever grateful. THANK YOU Ashley & Meredith, our wedding day was all the more special with your talent!

Hello! I'm Erica and I am based in Minnesota but travel all over!

Erica and Neil are simply amazing. I could not recommend them more, I love that they really care about the people they are working with and they are so easy to work with. Erica was my go to girl for so many questions and she was so helpful, not sure I could have done this without her. They were both so great helping us figure out a timeline for the day and making sure we got all of the pictures we wanted. On our wedding day when things got stressful or we were running late, they had a way of making it less stressful. They made pictures fun and we loved working with them - they are just the kind of people you want to be around, especially on your wedding day!

Hi! I'm Brooklyn - the owner! I'm 22 years old & happily married to my best friend, Michael. Traveling is a huge part of our lives, WDW is our happy place, & our next adventure is never far away. When I'm not at a wedding, you can find me in the flower shop or doing some *light* retail therapy. I recently graduated from KSU with a B.S. in Hospitality & Event Management. I have had the opportunity to work with some amazing couples & vendors in several states. I even spent time in FL working closely with one of the world's leading entertainment companies bringing hundreds of fairytale weddings & events to life. Now, I'm making magic of my own!

When you think of your wedding, all you can hope for is nothing will go wrong, and if it does, it will be small. When you hire Brooklyn from Brooklyn Rain brides, you can rest assured that your day will be utter perfection. throughout the wedding planning process, Brooklyn was always there for me to reach out to and ask questions and give her professional suggestions. She is beyond wise for her years and knows everything a bride could ask in hand already. Even with me being in the industry Brooklyn would ask me questions leading up to the big day I didn't even know I had, she made sure I knew when and how to get my marriage license and took care of sending it back to the clerk for us. She handled getting the rings to the correct bridal party members and made sure to grab our vow books before the ceremony so we didn't have to remember them. My guests came to me after the ceremony and said it was the best ceremony they had ever seen and I couldnt agree more it had so much emotion, romance and pure magic sprinkled in and brooklyn was incredibly calm collected and well spoken capturing my husband and Is love story perfectly. I cannot recommend her services enough, not only can she officiate the most romantic ceremony ever She is also an incredible wedding coordinator and will make sure your wedding runs smoothly allowing you to have a stress free wedding day! I literally didn't have to handle a single thing on my wedding day because she was there to handle it all. She made all the difference plus she continued to come and check in in me to see how I was doing throughout the getting ready process and has the calmest nature helping me to feel ready before I walked down the aisle. not only did she handle coordination and officiating the wedding she sprinkled in some extra magic by taking some gorgeous photos throughout the day and sent them to me the morning after the wedding so I would have a little something until my professional photos arrived! I am so utterly grateful to Brooklyn for making the best day of my life utterly perfect. She may be based in Ohio, however, my wedding was in Michigan-she has traveled all over the United States to work weddings and is so worth it, so feel free to inquire about out of state travel. Anyone who is engaged, I can't say it enough, you need a Brooklyn to help guide you in your wedding planning!

Tracy & Kyle are fantastic artists and teammates! They made our wedding experience such a fun journey every step of the way and we were blown away by how fantastic all of our photos turned out in both our engagement and wedding day photos. We met with them in-person twice for consultations and felt so comfortable talking with them and sharing our experiences as fellow wedding-industry workers. The rate at which we received our photos after our engagement shoot and our wedding was perfect! They sent a few samples that showed the quality and attention to detail, and the remaining complete albums were sent within a week! So fast but so much attention to detail and great editing. We also loved their blog posts as a way to share photos with friends and family and we enjoyed browsing other couples' albums as well! As a same-sex mixed race couple, we really appreciated their wide portfolio of diverse couples of LGBTQIA and BIPOC clients.
