Water's Edge Sweet Tooth created my dream wedding cake for our wedding in May 2024 and they did an amazing job! So easy to work with, made our mini cake exactly as we had hoped, and everything was so tasty! I would recommend them to everyone!

We're so glad we chose Kim and Water's Edge Sweet Tooth for our July 2024 wedding cake. Kim is super friendly and easy to work with. And of course, their cakes are delicious! We went with a tier of red velvet and two tiers of vanilla with fresh strawberries - and wow! Everyone at the wedding loved it! Thank you Kim and team for the perfect wedding cake!

I went to order a cake for my parents' 29th wedding anniversary, the first time I ever ordered from here. I wanted a small cake 6in and everything chocolate. They delivered and I had a photo of what i wanted and they gave me just that I was very happy with my experience i will definitely order from here. I also ordered it only 3 days before I needed it. i was worried they would not be able to do it, but I'm so glad they could. The first photo is the inspiration. The 2 is what I got.

Kim is so nice and easy going. I first met with her on the phone and I was very indecisive about what kind of cake I wanted for my wedding. She was very easy to work with and offered me many options. I ended up getting a small two tier cake with 14 one tier cakes as center pieces.. every single cake was completely eaten accept for two. The last two cakes everyone was arguing over who would get to take them home. Every wedding guest raved over how amazing the cakes tasted. If i could give 100 stars I would!

Kim and Mark Norton, the owner's of Water's Edge Sweet Tooth, are some of the kindest, most caring people I have ever met. Whether it's simple birthday cupcakes, sweet treat boxes for my clients, or even my wedding cake, Kim & Mark go above and beyond every time! There's not a better bakery in town!

Kim and Water's Edge Sweet Tooth are incredible. She was so thoughtful working with us at every step in our wedding planning to make sure she provided exactly what we wanted for our dessert table. The vanilla cake with raspberry cream filling was amazing, and our guests were raving about the cream puffs and fruit tarts that she created. If you're looking for a reliable, delicious bakery - look no further!

Kim, I can't thank you and Water's Edge Sweet Tooth enough for the cake and cupcakes for our wedding. From the very first phone call, Kim put me completely at ease - asking questions about my preferences and using her expertise to make recommendations or adjustments. I really appreciated her willingness to customize and change things, not just use a list of standard recipes - she really is an expert to make those adjustments. We set up a tasting at her adorable shop in downtown Traverse City, where both the cupcakes and the service exceeded my expectations. She took great notes on the three varieties we chose, and six months later at the wedding everything matched exactly. I received so many compliments from my guests on the cupcakes, and even my husband (who isn't a fan of sweets) fawned over the lemon cake. Kim knew the venue well, set everything up beautifully, and was so easy to work with. I couldn't be happier, and would recommend Water's Edge Sweet Tooth to absolutely everyone. Thank you SO much! Update - we went back to Kim and Water’s Edge Sweet Tooth to get our one year anniversary cake and it’s just as delicious as I remembered. Once again, they were so easy to work with. THANK YOU! ❤️

We got our cake done by Water's Edge Sweet Tooth & we're so glad we did. Working with Kim was so enjoyable and the tasting was something out of a rom-com!! Kim was professional, listened to what we wanted, punctual with delivery and we ended up with the most beautiful and delicious cake EVER. I STRONGLY recommend the apple butter vanilla cake, I'll be dreaming about it forever.

I wandered by on a rainy day (when they were CLOSED), and as I opened my mouth to, “Wow” when I noticed the beautiful treats, Mark opened the door & let me in. He let me know they were recently voted the best pumpkin donuts in town and I had to try them. They were phenomenal! It was the first time I wanted to send a thank-you letter for letting me into their shop and tasting this moist, hefty donut, packed with pumpkin & the perfect amount of cinnamon and sugar, fluffy & cakes, but doesn’t crumble. Saturday’s they are mostly prepping for weddings, but will welcome you any time if they see your mouth watering at the picture window. Mark & Kim have a lovely shop, custom fortune cookies and plethora of other delicate treats. Stop by, you will thank them later.

I had a wonderful experience with this bakery in Traverse City as I ordered this cake for my friends 30th birthday, coming from out of town! The owners made a delicious, sweet and beautifully decorated cake to fit our birthday theme! Sweet blueberry filling with a vanilla cake and amazing butter creme frosting! My friend loved her suprise birthday cake and the owners were very kind, generous and helpful! Thank you so much! 😊 🩵
