I live in Cincinnati and wanted to order some pastries and sweets for my sister’s father-in-law’s celebration of life for his family that weekend. I wanted to support local and find someone that could delivery. Shayda answered the call! She was so helpful mapping out what to order and adjusting the invoice once we landing on the perfect combination of treats and was even willing to add a note to the delivery on my behalf for the family. I can’t say enough. And the whole family said everything was delicious. If I could give her 10 stars I would!
I ordered macarons from Sweets by Shayda for my cousin’s birthday, and the entire experience was exceptional from start to finish. Shayda was very easy to work with, as she's incredibly responsive, professional, and proactive with her communication. She even reached out to let me know when the order was on its way for delivery, which I truly appreciated since I’m in Scottsdale and my cousin is in Durham, NC. The macarons were absolutely delicious and beautifully packaged. They made my cousin’s birthday even more special, and she loved them so much that she said she’ll be a regular customer going forward. As for me, Sweets by Shayda is officially my go-to bakery in the Durham area for gifts and special occasions. Highly recommend!
We ordered a Lemon Lavender cake and it was absolutely amazing! The flavor was perfectly balanced ;not too sweet, just right. The cake was fresh, the colors were vibrant, and the decoration was beautiful. You can really tell how much care and attention went into it. Highly recommend!
WOW....where do I start?! I experienced the most delicious yummy treats EVER! Oh my goodness. I wasn't sure what to get and decided to try both the lemon and salted caramel macarons. OUTSTANDING! It was so light and fluffy with the perfect amount of flavor and sweetness. I also got a mango flavored shaped small cake filled with mango fruit mousse filling. Just delightful. They were all excellent. Will return to try other items.
Sweets by Shayda is the BEST. Not only are the sweet treats absolutely gorgeous AND delicious, Shayda and her team are a breeze to work with. My husband ordered an anniversary cake with a few loose ideas and Shayda made the most beautiful cake (I actually shed a few tears over it because it was so incredible). Shayda greeted us and wished us a happy anniversary as soon as we walked into the shop to pick up the cake, which was so sweet. If you need anything specially made or just in the mood for a treat, Shayda's is the place to go. :)
