Fleur D’ Liz

After I contacted Beth a few days before an event at my house, she designed and created a dozen beautiful cupcakes. It was so convenient to have the cupcakes delivered. Not only were the treats visually appealing, they were delicious as well. It’s great that she is able to customize the order to suit any occasion. Fleur D’Liz was quite a find!

Fleur D’Liz is run by a talented mother-​daughter duo out of Livermore. In all my communications with daughter Beth, she was very friendly and accommodating. I had emailed her a photo of an elaborate vintage cupcake design my daughter chose for our mother-​daughter Valentine’s Day tea party and she said it was no problem.
My preschooler had looked at nearly fifty images of cupcakes on Pinterest until she saw THE ONE. The vintage cupcake design had embossed fondant, some with pale pink roses of various sizes and others with a heart made from miniature candy pearls. I confess I was uncertain of the outcome, having purchased a Local Gruv deal a while back and being unable to find much in the way of reviews. There is no store front to visit and sample ahead of time. Given that the cupcakes were the highlight of my daughter’s party, I didn’t want to disappoint her either. I paid a little bit more because of the fondant and design. However, even without the Local Gruv deal, the price would have been an excellent value– less or equal to your average cupcake topped with a swirl of buttercream from a local specialty bakery or Whole Foods.
Beth delivered a dozen exquisite cupcakes the night before the party. The cupcakes were identical to the photo and exceeded our expectations. The vanilla cupcakes were moist with a nice texture. We had half filled with raspberry and the other half plain. Beneath the fondant was the creamiest rosette of piped buttercream. This was not ordinary buttercream. It tasted like fine mirangue buttercream. Eating these cupcakes was a blissful, almost religious experience. I felt as if I was destroying a piece of art so a few of us, including my husband, saved the fondant tops to admire for a little while longer! Beth and Liz, thank you for making our Valentine’s Day so special and for giving my child such joy.

I purchased Local Gruv coupon for them. Very nice on the phone. Placed an order for Red Velvet Cake Pops. My original order was larger but I downsized it to just 24 pops. That increased the price to $ 3.00 a Pop. I felt that was a bit high as there is no store. But items are delivered. I gave them a 9am to 1pm window and they were 20 minutes late. I was having them delivered to a friends house in Livermore. Causing my friends to be late for a play in the city. Making me unpopular with my friends. The cake pops themselves while okay but were a bit undercooked.

Fleur D’ Liz had a booth at the farmer’s market tonight. The owner was giving away free cupcakes, so of course I was intrigued.
I tasted a frosted red velvet spice cake as well as a frosted chocolate cupcake. Both were absolutely delicious.
These are the times when I realize I should probably order a professional cake for my children’s birthday parties…
