  We had a geek-themed wedding, which means that each table was a different theme using Pop Figures. We wanted our cake topper to be a bride (original Lego Harley Quinn) and groom (Lego Deadpool) going through a Stargate (3D printed from Shapeways.com). When we told this to the bakery, they were just as excited as us. They had seen the show, so they knew exactly what we were talking about and that made it so much easier for us to explain everything. We did a tasting and couldn't decide on what our cake layers should be, so we did all 3 options that we tried: Yellow, Banana, and Chocolate with FRESH strawberry filling and a buttercream frosting. IT WAS SO GOOD!!!! When it came to cutting the cake and after we fed each other, I took the entire small piece of chocolate layer we cut out and ate it whole. it was THAT good!!! It was a low price because we had a small 8-inch round cake that we shared with the entire bridal party.

  Fantastic tasting and the cake at the wedding tasted just as good. Only issue was the delivery truck got into a fender-bender on the way to the hall, causing the cake to be crooked and some detail to be smeared. Would have been nice if there was a touch-up kit to fix it but I'm probably the only one who noticed :)

  She was great. For the tasting, she made whatever we wanted to try, even custom things, and it was fun to go and try it. Then we planned out the cake with her - I had ideas but not a concrete plan, but she helped me develop a design. We ended up having her do our cake and a dessert bar. The desserts were wonderful! The cake tasted a great. It was a little dry, but the flavors of the cake were wonderful. The design ended up a little different than I thought it would be, but it was still great. I really loved the cake. It wasn't the average white cake, but had lots of color and design - looked great and was perfect with the rest of the wedding! Her color matching was great, too! Also, she charges per person, not according to the design, so I was able to have that big cake I wanted rather than having sheet cakes in the back.

  This bakery gave us the lowest estimate and sometimes you do get what you pay for. Because I am allergic to dairy & gluten, our bakery options were limited. I requested a dairy-free, gluten-free cake, plus a dozen extra dairy-free, gluten-free cupcakes and 140 regular cupcakes. Although she evidently brought a dozen gluten-free, dairy-free cupcakes to the reception venue, they weren't labeled, so when we left, they were incorporated with all of the extra cupcakes. I never got my dairy-free, gluten-free cupcakes to take with us on our honeymoon. It's surprising to me that a bakery that specializes in gluten free baked goods wouldn't take the time to label & identify dairy & gluten free items vs. regular items. It's certainly not good for someone like myself with food allergies.
  The decorations on the cake/cupcakes were fair, but certainly not the best quality, and I had ordered pretty simple decorations for both the cake and cupcakes. On a positive note, the vendor did offer to pick up the cupcake stand from the reception venue free of charge as it was located close to her home. As our wedding was 60 miles from our home, that was certainly appreciated & an added convenience.

  Please do yourself a favor and stay away from this bakery! It's a good price for a reason, you get what you pay for. The most unprofessional business owners I have ever met. Completely ruined my wedding cake/cupcakes, wrong colors and everything. Forgot our cake topper that we had custom made and ribbons on the cake. Our wedding coordinator told us she was late to set everything up and was very rude towards her. Never answered the phone when my venue called her 3 times that night leaving messages looking for our toppers. After I called the Monday after our wedding I ended up with an email a week and a half later. Still no explanation why this happened. When I went to pick up my cake toppers she turned he head away from me and avoided me. Horrible business! I just gave up...not even worth a fight.
