Punta Cana Brides - Is Anyone Getting Their Cake From Someone Outside of the Resort?

[MrsHemmings]

Hi Ladies,

 

I am not happy with the pictures of the cakes the Dreams Palm Beach Punta Cana has shared.

 

My family is from Dominican Republic.  For us, the cake at any event, is a big deal and the focus of much to talk about EVERY TIME.

 

Anyway, I don't want an ugly cake since i have BIG plans for decorating my cake table.

 

The hotel said I could bring in my own if I wanted to.  I also think that it would also be cheaper to get it done local. $5 a person seemed high to me based on local prices.

 

Is anyone considering this?  If so, do you know of any local bakers that I should reach out to?

 

Thanks,

V

Hi V,

 

I'm glad to tell you my family runs a local bakery & pastry shop in Bavaro, Punta Cana. We are originally from Spain and had this business for about 12 years. The name of the bakery/pastry/coffee shop is Las Leñas.

 

My mother is the owner, and she has been doing wedding cakes for a few years now. (She's getting really good)

Let me know if you'd like to see more pictures, pricing, flavors, ingredients, etc.

 

Here are a few pictures of the latest cakes we've done, these are all from april-may of this year:
