The best cake we have literally ever eaten

I cannot possibly express how much we were OBSESSED with our wedding cake from Bean Counter!!!!! Alice was not only an expert in delicious cake and design, but friendly, helpful, and communicative. We have many allergies in our family to gluten and tree nuts including myself and most of our wedding party. Alice made us feel so safe in having our completely gluten and tree nut free cake for our wedding, along with our incredible cannolis and eclairs. My old school Italian family was RAVING about how delicious it all was! I barely wanted a wedding cake before going to our original cake tasting because I was convinced that there was no way that a gluten free wedding cake would be good. I was SO wrong! After eating the first bite, I was literally more excited about our cake than I have ever been about any dessert in my entire life (which, believe me, says a lot). We fell in love with not only our cake flavors (one layer lemon/raspberry, one layer apple pie filling, and one layer chocolate chip cannoli), but Alice worked with us to get the perfect design that we wanted. Our cake was GORGEOUS and we can't wait to get photos back from our photographer so we can keep reminiscing about our beautiful AND delicious cake! We cannot say enough good things about Alice and her unbelievable talent. Hire this bakery!!!!!

Delicious Cake!

We chose a simple vanilla with vanilla buttercream cake to have on the cake table for the purpose of cutting the cake for a photo, it was a simple two tier cake that served 28 people. In addition we purchased sheet cakes that were also vanilla with vanilla buttercream and a second one that was chocolate with vanilla buttercream and it was a HUGE cost savings- about half the price of a traditional wedding cake.

THE wedding cake bakery

People are still talking about the wedding cake! It was scrumptious as were the dozens of mini desserts and the dozens of chocolate covered strawberries. The couple only wanted a very small 2 tier cake - but as the mother of the bride - I knew people would remember the cake so we also ordered a double layer specialty sheet cake so that every slice served was the same. These cakes along with the other desserts were all devoured. Alice Lombardi and her team were attentive, very detail oriented, excellent communicators, timely and very professional. Bean Counter Bakery is now our go to bakery and I highly recommend them.

I first met Alice of The Bean Counter a few years ago at a bridal fair. Not only were her cakes delicious, creative, and beautiful, but she and her staff couldn't have been more friendly. I have referred more than a few clients and friends to them, and everyone has been delighted. One client ordered a carrot cake and raved about it so much that the next Fathers' Day, I ordered one for my father-in-law, who is a carrot-cake connoisseur always on the lookout for the best one. He can stop looking. :) I know that when I recommend Bean Counter to someone, I have nothing to worry about. My friends and clients are in the best of hands.
