We are SO fortunate to have had The Mixing Bowl team as part of our wedding on 10/30/2021– I truly cannot recommend them enough! I initially reached out to Phyllis, TMB wedding coordinator, in a totally frenzied state: my previous vendor had dropped the ball on me with less than 6 months until the big day. As an out-of-state, pandemic bride, I was ready to accept a Betty Crocker cake at this point, but Phyllis assured me TMB could still accommodate *whatever* it was I envisioned. All of our email exchanges were upbeat and promptly responded to.

When life forced me to make a last minute trip through VA, I called TMB on a whim to see if I could grab a cake sample on my way through town. I was definitely expecting a "no, we're so sorry, we can't swing that," and would have been fine with that response. However, they made it happen with hardly any notice, and the sample was free!

As if all that weren't enough, my mom was in charge of the dessert for the rehearsal dinner, but after a bunch of mishaps, I sent a bridesmaid's husband into the wilderness and told him to handle it with 0 instruction. TMB hooked him up beautifully!

Needless to say, the cake was as delicious as it is beautiful. Thank you, TMB team and Phyllis! Engaged people: BOOK HERE!

My fiance and I both believe that a beautiful cake is pointless if it doesn't taste good as well. Fortunately, at the mixing bowl you don't have to worry because their cake flavors are all absolutely amazing and the process is so stress free. Our biggest issue was trying to decide which flavors because we loved all the options and combinations so much. Our semi-naked cutting cake was beautiful and exactly what we wanted and the cupcakes allowed for a variety of flavors. We have returned to The Mixing Bowl for other treats since then and will continue to order from them in the future.

I cannot say enough good things about The Mixing Bowl Bakery. Our wedding went from a guest list of 140 to 8 because of COVID-19. Phyllis and the rest of the staff at The Mixing Bowl were more than understanding when we had to completely change our order just a couple months out from the wedding. They made the MOST DELICIOUS wedding cake, and completely understood my vision. We were planning the wedding from Tennessee, and Phyllis was always timely and responsive with emails and phone calls. The cake tasting was definitely the best part of wedding planning! If you're getting married in Richmond, The Mixing Bowl Bakery is a must!
