Sweet as Love

Sweet as Love is a here to satisfy all your sweet needs! Pastry Chef Natalie Chavez has been honing her craft over the last 20 years.

She discovered her passion for food in high school, and would frequently bake sweets for her friends. While attending culinary school, she started her career at The St. Regis Hotel & Resort in Dana Point, CA. It was there that she realized she wanted to focus on the sweeter side of food, and transferred into the Pastry kitchen. A whole new world of possibilities was then opened to her and she was

hooked! It was there that she learned how to make all sorts of sweet indulgences, including chocolate sculptures, tarts, petit fours, and most importantly cakes!!! Sweet as Love was soon born, and she’s been delighting clients ever since. Her passion and talent is designing and creating stylish, unique, and contemporary cakes. Each cake is hand crafted, using only the finest ingredients to ensure a quality product. You can guarantee your guests will be awed by her delicious creations!

This wedding at Newport Beach Country Club was a perfect example of what happens when every detail speaks the same design language, from the Cake to the florals to the paper goods to the music.

A clean multi-tiered centerpiece, candlelit romance, layered textures, and a live band that kept the energy high all night, every element worked together, not separately.

I love collaborating with creatives who care about the details as much as I do. Tagging the incredible vendor team below, show them some love and take a look at their work too.

“Nobody eats the wedding cake” is only true when the cake isn’t good.

I said what I said.

Wedding cake isn’t outdated, it’s just been underestimated.
When flavor matters as much as design, the plates come back empty.

I understand budgets. Truly.
Everything costs more right now.

But a wedding cake isn’t just dessert, it’s a statement.

Multi-tiered cakes bring drama, elegance, and presence to a room.
They make the cake cutting feel intentional.
They turn dessert into a shared experience.

And the whole “nobody eats cake” argument?
That only holds up when the cake isn’t memorable.

When flavor matters as much as design,
the plates don’t come back half full, they come back clean.

So let’s settle it:
statement cake or just enough for the photo?

My kids LOVED The Wiggles, especially Dorothy the Dinosaur! This sweetheart cake was super cute, it’s filled with 🍓 cake, and a custard filling 😋.
Thank you for always choosing the cutest themes!

Apparently, Instagram likes when we show our faces… so here’s mine, freshly dusted off and slightly less covered in fondant than usual. 😂

If you’re new here, I’m Natalie! Professional Cake Designer, frosting whisperer, and Queen of ‘just one more tweak before delivery’.

Sweet As Love is my happy place! Modern, romantic wedding cakes designed to taste every bit as dreamy as they look.

It’s been a wild few months behind the scenes, but I’m back and ready to share more cake magic (and maybe a few frosting fails) 😂

Drop a 🧁 if you’re still here for the cake content, or a 🍾 if you just came for the champagne tastings!
