MEET ILEANA,
​Founder & Owner

Since opening in 2010 in Cincinnati, Ileana Saldivia’s studio, Sugar Realm has become a preeminent wedding and celebration cake design boutique. In 2018, due to her husband's job, Ileana and her family relocated to Philadelphia, and so did her Sugar Kingdom. Sugar Realm’s cakes and confections are known for their sophisticated flavors, unique designs, artistic sugar flowers, innovative techniques, and architectural compositions. The studio’s wedding cakes are regularly featured in leading bridal, lifestyle, and cake decorating magazines. In the December 2015 issue of “Cincinnati Magazine,” Sugar Realm was named “Best of the City” and featured on the cover. Saldivia’s blog “Life in a Sugar Kingdom” is regularly visited by hundreds of cake enthusiasts and professionals.

Ileana and her staff look forward to serving you and helping you setup an appointment to experience Sugar Realm Cakes. One hour tastings and consultations are $55.00 for two. Tastings and consultations are by appointments only, scheduled Monday through Friday, 9:00am to 5:30pm. Because weekends are devoted to delivering and setting up cakes on location, we regret that we cannot secure tastings on Saturdays and Sundays. Sugar Realm is a legal, licensed and insured home-based business located in Haverford, PA. Permits from Lower Merion and PA Department of Agriculture are posted at the studio.

..."I scheduled cake tastings with 4 vendors on the same day. Ileana of Sugar Realm was my first meeting. I knew after this meeting that I didn't need to meet with any other vendors, but I did. Each vendor I met with offered an excellent product, however, Ileana's cakes were exceptional. I reserved my date with her the next day. When you book with Ileana, you are getting more than just a wedding cake, you are getting an experience and a stunning element to your wedding or event. She is very passionate about her work, and it shows in every detail. Her sketchbook of designs are both beautiful and amazing, and I felt special when my cake was added to the book"...
