Tampa is in Florida, in the Southeast, where summers are long, hot and humid, winters are mild, and afternoon thunderstorms and the hurricane season from June to November can change plans at short notice. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Tampa follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Hands on Sweets did an amazing job making our wedding cake! We ordered vanilla and cognac cake with vanilla buttercream and strawberry coulis, it was absolutely delicious! They also had clear communication with our venue so there were no surprises on the day of. What more could a bride ask for? They truly helped make our day even more special with their elegant artistry. I strongly recommend them to all future brides in the Tampa area.

My husband and I were married in May of this year and, months later, we are still hearing from our friends and family how much they loved the desserts at our wedding. Working with Hands on Sweets was the best experience, and if you are on the hunt for a dessert assortment AND an absolutely stunning and delicious cake, please look no further! Chef Marie and her team are in the business of making tasty dreams come true. She is the most warm and accommodating vendor, and didn't bat an eyelash at my constant questions / requests / changes! She made sure everything was perfect. And, she is a complete professional and expert, so letting her work her magic without having to overdirect is the best gift for a busy bride! If you choose to work with Hands on Sweets, you will float into your wedding day without a single stress and you will walk out with a full belly, happy guests, and gorgeous photos of a noteworthy display. Thank you to Chef Marie and Hands on Sweets for making our wedding day that much more sweet and for taking away every ounce of stress while still bringing my visions to life!

This great tampa couple did my daughters 3rd birthday cake a couple years back. They did such an amazing job. Their specialty is wedding cakes but when i was running out of options I chose them! (They are pretty pricey but that’s because they deliver QUALITY) I’m glad I did though because in my search for someone to design her cake no one was willing to do exactly what I wanted. Hands On Sweets told me they would make it exactly as I requested and there wouldn’t be any issues and that’s exactly what they delivered. They delivered to the party and laid everything down and asked if I had any concerns or if I was happy with my service. I ordered a cake, cookies and matching cake pops. Unicorn themed! Everything tasted as good as it looked! I’m not sure why I took so long to make this review years later BUT they deserve 5 stars! Better late than never! Thank you for such a beautiful memory my daughter will have to look back at.
