Beautiful and Delicious

I had a great experience with the Quintessential Cupcake! My cupcakes were gluten free, but you wouldn’t know it! The attention to detail in the color, frosting design and even the packaging was wonderful. I have gone back for more for various events! I included a picture of a smaller box celebrating the arrival of my daughter 💕

I am thrilled to have found Quintessential Cupcakes for any and all of my celebration treats! I have hosted many events where cakes, cupcakes, or other tasty treats of theirs was the highlight! Rachel (owner), is a gem to work with. She takes time to make sure her masterpieces reflect your event. She is so easy to work with and has always done exactly what she says she will do! I highly recommend her for any special event or occasion you have. No matter how big or small, your guests will never forget the beautiful and delicious treats from The Quintessential Cupcake!

So delicious, we're still talking about it!

My husband and I loved the idea of a naked cake, but we weren't going with a rustic theme, so we were hoping for something a little more elevated. Working with Rachel at The Quintessential Cupcake was so easy, it's like she read our minds. We gave her a basic flavor profile and a few inspirational pictures from Pinterest and she ran with it. We gave her full creative control.

Rachel did a fabulous job, start to finish. She ensured she'd have early enough access to the venue, worked with them to make sure set up was perfect. The cake was more beautiful than I imagined - she added gold leaf accents and hand-selected the flowers that matched our color pallet exactly (choosing our favorite flowers without even knowing it)! But the taste, the taste was the best part!

My husband and I didn't want a heavy buttercream, so Rachel iced our cake in a light, melt-in-your-mouth Swiss meringue butter cream that was absolutely delightful. The simple white sponge had a wonderful mouth-feel and ideal density and crumb which complemented the raspberry filling perfectly.

All of our guests raved about our cake. We had planned to freeze the leftovers and enjoy it on our 1-year, but it was too delicious. We found ourselves eating the leftovers in the days directly following the wedding! We'll just have to order another one for our anniversary, lol. Months later, at family gatherings and special occasions, our family still brings up how good our cake was.

I 100% recommend Rachel at The Quintessential Cupcake for your wedding cake, bridal shower cake, birthday cake, or a just-because-you-want-some-cake cake.
