Wedding cake review

Dessert works was an absolute pleasure to work with! They made the entire process easy as we are from out of state and ordered a cake for our wedding in Foxborough MA. They were flexible with planning a tasting and working with us to ensure our cake was everything we hoped for. The cake was absolutely gorgeous and looked exactly as advertised (it was even more beautiful in person). Delivery was smooth and our guests were raving about how delicious it was. We couldn’t have asked for a better bakery to use for our wedding cake!!

Boston Cream Pie Deliciousness!

Dessert Works is a wonderful bakery for any wedding. We highly recommend them for your special day. They helped our vision come to life and on top of that, our family said it was the best Boston Cream they've ever had.
