Highly recommend!

Lara was so wonderful to work with! From the moment we did our cake tasting I knew it was the one! This is by far the best wedding cake I’ve ever tasted! She was able to accommodate 3 flavors (pumpkin with cream cheese frosting, chocolate with raspberry buttercream and vanilla with salted caramel buttercream!!!! 😋 they were all so delicious! We loved it so much that we are contemplating making the trip to NH for our favorite flavor for our anniversary next year!

Amazing Lara

Lara was easy to work with and out of all the cakes we tried her was EASILY knocking all other bakers out of the park. Her cake and cupcakes were all stunning. I had the most amazing spread. Thank you endlessly :)
