    Best Cakes

    We LOVED working with Bloom for our wedding cakes. They don't do tiered cakes, so we did multiple cake rounds in multiple flavors (Pistachio Caramel, Lemon Vanilla Raspberry, and Vegan/GF Vanilla). All of them came out incredible, and our favorite was actually the Vegan Vanilla! Bloom was fairly priced, easy to work with, and made cakes we were proud to serve at our wedding. Thank you so much to the Bloom team for making our day even more special!

    Professional and delicious

    Bloom was the best choice!! Communication was always easy, friendly and knowledgeable.
    Our almond raspberry cake was one of the tastiest cakes I have ever eaten and we are still receiving complements on the offerings for guests. If you are skeptical about the GF and vegan aspects of some of these desserts, do not be, these were beloved by all guests.
    We did both the cupcakes, brownies and lemon bars.
    One of our easiest vendors to work with, total pros.
    Amazing choice for your wedding day sweets!

    Most delicious bakery in Madison!

    We were fortunate to have Bloom cake and cupcakes at our wedding! The bride is gluten-free, and If you’ve been to Bloom, you know how delicious their baked goods are. (If you haven’t been to Bloom, you should go right now.)

    The staff was easy to work with and they provided us with a tasting box option to help narrow down the flavors we were looking for. We served cupcakes for our guests: chocolate ganache, carrot cake and blueberry-lemon, all outrageously delicious, and our guests loved them. As for ourselves, we had a chocolate cake with buttercream frosting… and we made a point NOT to share something this good. :-)

    Gluten-free or not, if you’re looking for the best cake in the Madison area, then look no further than Bloom.

    Absolutely delicious!

    I adore Bloom Bake Shop, and so when it came time to select a vendor for our wedding cake Bloom was our first call! Nicole was a dream to work with, and made the cake selection process fun and easy. We ended up with three scrumptious flavors (Lemon Rosemary Thyme, Almond Raspberry with Swiss Meringue Buttercream, and Salted Caramel Chocolate). Would hands down recommend working with Bloom again and again!

    Collaborative and instagram worthy cakes

    Nicole was wonderful to work with for my wedding cake. First, she helped me as we were on a budget so we had a 3 tier cake and then regular cakes that were in the serving kitchen which cut down costs. Second I never got to try the cake as I live out of town. Nicole was so helpful and hosted my mom and aunts to try the cake. She was kind and listened as I shared which cakes my mon liked. Nicole helped me use their feedback, suggesting which cakes would be the most moist based on what we were looking for. We ended up with vegan vanilla , chocolate caramel and caramel chocolate. The cakes were moist and sweet, the way I like them. I picked Bloom as they make the most beautiful instagram worthy cakes. When I saw my wedding cake in person it was exactly what I was looking for, beautifully simplistic.

    Delicious sweets for our wedding!!

    Bloom Bake Shop has an amazing selection of desserts including cupcakes, donuts, and mini pop-tarts. We had several flavors of cupcakes and donuts for our wedding. They were beautifully decorated and tasted incredible. Our guests loved everything Bloom provided (especially the Tuxedo cupcakes and the sweet potato donuts). The three tiered cake they made for us was gorgeous -- everything we had hoped it would be. Nicole and company were very easy to communicate with and responded promptly. They also had a wide variety of staging pieces for the desserts so we were easily able to find something that matched our theme.

    Best bakery ever

    I love Bloom so much! So much that when it came to picking a bakery for our wedding cake I didn't even look into any other options besides Bloom! We got married August 2020 in Door County. Because of travel we couldn't do a tiered cake. This bummed me out at first, but their cake is so delicious that I knew it would be worth it! We did the Semi-Naked with Confectionary Glaze style and it turned out amazing! To still get a tiered look we just got cake stands that were various heights. Nicole was wonderful to work with. She always got back to me in a timely manner and was super flexible. Bloom had to stop booking for weddings because of COVID, but since we had already booked our date back in February they honored that which was also great. The cakes we had were carrot cake, GF Almond Raspberry, and Chocolate Ganache Caramel w/ Cream Cheese frosting. We LOVED all of them! We also had some Traditional Chocolate Chip Cookies, Traditional Sweet Potato Doughnuts, and V/GF Chocolate Chip Cookie Whoopies. All of these were also amazing and helped us cater to everyone's different dietary needs! I can't recommend Bloom enough for both a wedding as well as just an afternoon treat or for breakfast! Wish the Middleton location was still around!

    The Tastiest Vegan Desserts in Madison

    Bloom is wonderful for vegan/GF folks (but also for everyone else with no restrictions). They did cupcakes for my bridal shower & our rehearsal happy hour, and cakes for our wedding. Everything tasted SO GOOD and was decorated just like we had asked. Guests raved about the flavors every time we had Bloom's dessert served. Nicole was so thoughtful throughout the whole planning process & so willing to adjust numbers etc because of COVID changes. We LOVE Bloom and will of course go back whenever we visit Madison.

    Beautiful and delicious!

    Nicole from Bloom Bake Shop was such a pleasure to work with! She gave us the most delicious box of cupcakes to try all of the different cake flavors. We ended up getting a lemon rosemary olive oil wedding cake and it was perfect! Both beautiful and delicious :) Thank you!

    Best donut ever

    SO DELICIOUS. The desserts were a huge hit and people could not get over the sweet potato donuts. We loved that we were able to pick multiple dessert options to make a dessert bar and loved the unique flavor combinations of the cupcakes and donuts. Will definitely be visiting the cafe/bakery every time we are Madison!

    So Delicious!

    Nicole at Bloom Bake Shop was so helpful. We had Bloom Bake Shop do the cupcakes for our wedding. We picked up a cupcake tasting box and tried on our own. We emailed her with what we wanted and pictures of how we wanted them to decorate them. They tasted great, and looked great too. We got so many complements on the cupcakes. I would love to stop in the bakeshop another time and pick up a few cupcakes from them. Thanks again!

    Amazing cupcakes

    We did 3 flavors of cupcakes from Bloom for our wedding and they were a delicious hit! They covered all the big bases (gluten-free option, vegan option) and you really couldn't even tell anything was "missing" from the cupcakes - they are all equally delicious!

    I really appreciated them going above and beyond with the packaging to keep the cupcake variety that contained nuts away from the other 2 flavors as well.

    Best Desserts in town

    We had Bloom cater the desserts and make the cake for our wedding and we couldn’t be happier that we chose them! Free tasting boxes certainly aren’t out of the norm, but a 2nd free tasting box when seasonal ingredients are available really puts the icing on the cake! They also provided all the beautiful display pieces which worked perfectly. We’re just glad that we grabbed several desserts right away, because the next time we saw the dessert table everything was gone! Don’t get your desserts anywhere else!

    In a word, Bloom is amazing. From start to finish we could not have had a better experience working with them. Nicole was our contact and she was super responsive, helpful, and overall great to work with. Instead of cake we opted to have a few smaller desserts at our wedding (whoopie pies, hand pies, blondies, cupcakes) and they were SO good. Guests raved about them and we loved them too! Definitely choose them for your wedding or other catering needs!

    Bloom was fantastic to work with for our wedding. It was important to us to offer delicious gluten free options to our guests and they certainly delivered. Our cutting cake was gorgeous and our guests raved about the cake-- we had several guests comment that they enjoyed four slices of cake each! Consultation, delivery, and set up were very well done by the Bloom staff and we are still enjoying our leftover cake from the big day.

    We hired Bloom for our wedding desserts and couldn't have been happier. Nicole was super friendly and great to work with. Our cake tasting was fun and delicious. Nicole helped us narrow down our choices and was also extremely helpful when we were trying to decide how much of each dessert we should order. She also allowed us to rent cake stands and other decor pieces so that our dessert table looked amazing. Everything tasted amazing as well! I'd definitely recommend Bloom if you're looking for a tasty treat or if you're planning a big event.

    I am so glad that my husband and I chose Bloom Bakery for our wedding! Nicole was amazing to work with and made us feel at ease throughout the whole process. We had a variety of cupcakes for our wedding dessert and our guests loved all of the flavors, especially the cinnamon roll cupcakes! We still get compliments on the cupcakes as well as the beautiful setup of the cupcakes by Nicole. Would highly recommend Bloom Bakery for any celebration!

    SO. GOOD. I wish we could give them six stars! We had a dessert table with cupcakes and doughnuts. Despite the fact that we picked a few unusual flavors (like rosemary olive oil lemon cupcakes), our guests gave them all rave reviews. We had vegan and gluten-free guests, so Bloom's wide range of tasty vegan/gluten-free options was a major plus. Another nice thing was that they provided take-out boxes for guests at the end of the night. We had no leftovers!

    Bloom was quite possibly our favorite part of wedding planning. Everything from the first tasting to the beautiful cupcake/donut display & cake was exceptional. We so enjoyed working with Nicole and were absolutely thrilled with how everything turned out on the big day. Weeks later we are still getting compliments on the desserts (especially from our Vegan and Gluten Free friends/family who were DELIGHTED with the selection)! We are a same-sex couple and felt comfortable, understood and supported throughout the entire planning process. Thanks Bloom! -Mary and Tanya

    We’re so happy we found Bloom Bake Shop for our wedding. There’s so much more to say than just how (really, really) great the Bloom Bake Shop cakes were (and, wow they were good). The tasting and decision-making process for the types and sizes of cakes were so easy. Nicole and the others at Bloom had a wide variety for us to sample and gave us plenty of time before we locked in our final choices. They also encouraged us to come back closer to the wedding to try their seasonal flavors. They went so far as to make sure we had a tasting box (again filled with full cupcakes) to take and sample on our own time. Nicole was tremendously responsive to our questions and emails. The fact that many of their most delicious cakes were gluten free and/or vegan only sweetens (ok, bad pun) the deal. The final cake was exactly what we had hoped for, beautiful and delicious. We cannot recommend Bloom highly enough.

    We cannot recommend Bloom Bake Shop more. So easy to work with and very good at helping us stay in our budget. Plus they included some display pieces to use included in the cost. Oh, and everything was DELICIOUS! Would highly recommend.

    Bloom is amazing! We did a dessert table with them rather than going the traditional cake route, and we could not have been happier! We ultimately did cupcakes, whoopee pies, donuts, pop tarts, and brownies/bars. Our guests were trilled with the variety and option to have more than just cake. Also, they offer gluten free and vegan options that honestly don't taste any different from the "normal" kind. Their tasting was free and VERY filling. They source locally as much as possible, and we liked knowing our money was going back into the community. I honestly can't say enough wonderful things about them, and neither could our guests! 100% satisfied in every way.

    We got cupcakes from Bloom for our wedding. Because I am celiac we were originally planning on doing a small cake for the groom and I. Annemarie went above my expectations and made our cake and all of the cupcakes gluten free. Everyone loved them and I can say they are easily the best treats I have ever had. Well worth the extra money. She also came in between the reception and ceremony to set them all out. We were able to collect her props the next day and deliver them to her later in the week. She was incredibly accommodating.

    Absolutely superb! We were so lucky to work with Bloom Bake Shop for our wedding. Planning our wedding from out of state was challenging, but Annemarie and the entire staff made our cake decision so easy and convenient. We were able to sample seasonal flavors, which were incredible, on a timeline that worked for us. The cakes were unbelievable! All of our guests commented on how rich and flavorful all of the flavors were, and how impressed they were with the vegan and gluten free options. We were blown away with how stunning the cakes looked on display, which was only topped with their taste! We would recommend Bloom to any newlywed looking for an amazing quality cake with a unique flavor profile!


    XOXO
