Testimonials
"Thank you so much for the absolutely amazing and delicious cheesecakes you made for our wedding. We loved them and received tons of compliments from everyone at the wedding. You made the whole process incredibly easy and it was truly a pleasure to work with someone from Madison who took so much pride in their work. Your joy for baking shines through you and your cheesecakes. We look forward to seeing you at The Farmers’ Market.”

"We LOVE Grace Cheesecakes! Lori's stand is one of our favorite stops at the Farmer's Market. We all have our favorites: Mom loves the chocolate chip ganache heart cookies, Dad favors the awesome rhubarb oatmeal bars, and Maddie craves chocolate raspberry cheesecake! Lori puts her heart and soul into her work and it shows! (We always look for the orange tent! adds daughter Maddie)"

"I ordered the Grace Cheesecakes' Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake for Thanksgiving and for weeks afterward that was all my family could talk about. The cheesecake was creamy with just the right tang and traditional 'pumpkin pie' spices. Absolutely delicious. In fact, next year I think I'll save myself the work of fixing a turkey dinner and just serve Grace Cheesecakes!"

"We chose Grace Cheesecakes as our wedding cake vendor. Lori was professional, accommodating and pleasant. She had lots of options to make a cake plan that we were excited about and that fit our budget. The cheesecakes were delectable, very moist, light, and fluffy while being rich in flavor. We recommend Grace Cheesecakes to anyone seeking a piece of deliciousness!"

"I was in search of a serious cake for my wedding last summer. I wanted something with weight and credibility, not the sugary, fluffy disappointment that has somehow become traditional and usually tastes like it came out of a box. Grace Cheesecakes provided the perfect solution: superb vanilla, blueberry (in season) and chocolate cheesecake. Lori’s cheesecake was irresistible. What leftovers did exist lasted about a day. Grace Cheesecakes is well on it’s way to putting cheesecake on the map for future Wisconsin weddings. What a fitting tribute to our state’s love affair with cheese!"
