The Best Celebratory Cakes in Philly | Eater Philly

"Owner Lesley McDevitt opened The Sugary in 2017, and it is now one of Rittenhouse Square’s premier dessert studios. The custom cakes here are as bold as they are beautiful, a testament to her strong background in pastry arts and her heartfelt desire to bring your ideas to life for your events through original cakes and desserts." - George Banks-Weston

Philly’s Absolute Best Cookies

"This Center City dessert studio may be known for its gorgeous cakes and cupcakes, but its cookie selection is equally as stellar. Its highly sought-after almond croissant cookie, made with sliced almonds and topped with powdered sugar, is worth the trip." - George Banks-Weston

I emailed about a birthday cake and Lesly responded right away and was able to fit my order in quickly. Payment online was easy, pickup was easy, and the S'mores Cake tasted as amazing as it looked. Everyone LOVED it and took a piece home. Definitely recommend and will definitely order from again!

Lesly’s wedding cake creation for our special day was nothing short of amazing! Her easygoing nature and willingness to work with us on pricing and design made the process a breeze. We truly appreciate Lesly’s attention to detail, especially the orchid and gold foil accents that beautifully complemented our wedding theme. We opted for a white cake with white chocolate green tea frosting, and it was a hit with our guests. They couldn’t stop raving about the design and the taste. Even if you’re not planning a wedding, Lesly’s pastries are simply delicious and can be enjoyed at her store. Photo credit: John Barone Photography

Lesly made my 3-tier wedding cake, delivered it to my venue, and hand decorated the cake with florals that matched exactly to the picture I sent her. She made my vision come true on my wedding day and I’m lucky to have found her! I highly recommend this bakery if you have a wedding or a party! :)

One of my favorite bakeries in the city! The Sugary does amazing wedding cakes and the best buttercream cupcakes. I’m just happy I don’t live around the corner or I’d be there every day! A must try!

Lesly was incredibly responsive, professional, and made the whole process feel so easy. Our wedding cake turned out exactly how we envisioned it, and we couldn’t have been happier with the entire experience!

Lesly was amazing. She was able to do a cake and cupcakes a week before my baby shower when I couldn’t find anyone else. The cake came out beautiful and so did the cupcakes! I will definitely be using her again in the future for any other events and referring my friends and family! Thank you again for making my shower perfect!

I ordered my husband 70th birthday cake with Sugary and OMG it was just perfect ! Can’t thank enough Leslie for all the help in designing the cake. Cake was so so good and looked so beautiful. Working with Leslie was a pleasure she is amazing ! Also their store in the city is just adorable! Will definitely order more cakes in the future.

We ordered a chocolate love cake and they were kind enough to put this together on very short notice! The cake was decorated perfectly, instructions for cake care were clear, and my whole family loved the cake. Definitely a top tier chocolate cake!!

The service was pleasant and quick. This shop is adorable, with a small, cozy seating area perfect for a casual treat. I tried the almond croissant, which was basically a soft powder sugar dusted sugar cookie topped with almonds. It was flavorful and sweet. I also tried the vanilla cupcake. While the batter was tasty and slightly moist, I wasn't a fan of the icing's texture. It was too light, almost mousse like. Overall, it was a nice experience, and I'm glad I stopped by to check out this new spot.

This is a small, cozy bakery. The pumpkin bread is perfect for fall and I look forward to trying their other pastries/desserts including cookies and cupcakes.

The space is very cute and has a nice nook to sit and eat with a friend. I loved the almond croissant cookie! Lots of cupcake options as well as cake slices, tiramisu, and more. Many drink choices too.
