OMG! I am sooo sorry to hear of your loss. I never physically met Betty but she made me THE MOST beautiful and DELICIOUS wedding cake back in 1994!! People still talk about my cake and yes, we are still married! My son is getting married next month (he just told me today smh) and I only thought of Betty to make his cake!! Again, my condolences for your loss and I will forever be grateful that I had THE BEST WEDDING CAKE thanks to Betty!!!! God bless.

I will always remember the beautiful cakes that Beth would bring to the office for special occasions-gorgeous and delicious!- and the fabulous spread she prepared for Francesca's party! Preparing food was life for your mom. Beth and Francesca- we all know how much you did for your mom/gram and how much you loved her. Although it was difficult for you, she took such comfort in knowing you were there for her every day. I am so sorry for your loss but know that she and Robbie are happy to be together again! Love, Erin

Betty made both of my daughter's shower and wedding cakes. I think she put love into everthing she did. We felt very blessed to have met her. Our deepest sympathy to her family
