Sweet Surrender VI — Local services in Charlotte Amalie

Working with Shakiefa and Sweet Surrender was absolutely amazing—from our initial tasting in May right up to our September wedding. If you want a baker who is talented, committed, and truly cares, look no further.

We admit we were a little all over the place with our planning, but Shakiefa was our rock. She stayed committed the whole way through, guiding us with grace and patience. Her dedication to us wasn't just professional; it was personal, and it showed in the best possible way the morning after our wedding.

We had planned to freeze the top layer of our cake, but we partied a little too much and failed to save a piece! Shakiefa, hearing our plight, ensured we had a beautiful, delicious cake to go home with the very next morning. This is the definition of going the extra mile.

Beyond her dedication, the sweets themselves were the absolute talk of the wedding. We had loved ones still talking about the incredible taste of her treats once they were back in the States! Anytime we are back on the island, we will definitely be stopping by to order cupcakes or cake. We are so greatly appreciative and satisfied. It was truly apparent that this isn’t just business—Sweet Surrender cares. Thank...

Unbelievably wonderful! It's really difficult to trust someone from so far away with something so important to you. We decided to celebrate our 50th birthday in USVI and Sweet Surrender was recommended by the concierge at our villa. Shakiefa immediately understood the vision and how important this day was for us. We were only scheduled to get one cake, but she made such and amazing impression on me we decided to order a 2nd cake and some vegan cupcakes for one of our guest, which she was so accommodating. Both cakes were absolutely delicious and gorgeous. People were gathering at night for a second slice! Thank you Sweet Surrender for making our 50th birthday celebration a time...

Sweet Surrender is absolutely amazing! I was so impressed with the stunning Sweet 16 cake she created for my daughter — the design was beautiful, the cream was perfectly balanced, and the cake itself was super moist and delicious. All of my daughter’s friends loved it, and I’ve already received several calls asking for the baker’s contact info! She even surprised us with complimentary cupcakes — such a thoughtful and generous gesture. Sweet Surrender will definitely be my go-to cake person on the island from...
