    Edible dreams made a fantastic cake for our wedding. They customized our cake so that it resembled exactly what we imagined. They had no problem doing everything we asked on the cake and it came out awesome. The staff was very friendly and helpful and even threw in some great ideas. And most importantly it was delicious!!!!

    Ed is ridiculously easy to work with and he makes such cool looking things that it broke my heart a little that we didn't want a big cake for the wedding. Ed was able to take all the desserts that we love and made a fantastic spread. We had mini cupcakes, cookie shells filled with different mousse that were awesome!!!, cinnamon roll bites, and a ton of stuff he came up with. All the guests raved about them and popped a few before heading out for more dancing---exactly as I planned. :) Highly recommend Ed and his team.

    Our cake was beautiful and even nicer than we had imagined. The price was a little more than we wanted to spend but well worth it. The choices of cake and fillings is abundant. We had funfetti with french vanilla frosting. Everyone thought that was a great idea because you can't go wrong with that. Everyone likes funfetti. It was godo too.

    Edible dreams is awesome and has great designs! They remind me of the cake shows on TV! Our cake was included in our wedding package at the Heritage Hotel, so we just had to meet with Ed to design the cake and pick our flavors. We had to pay alittle extra for the fondant, but other than that, we were able to choose anything we wanted! I brought pictures to show Ed and he had numerous photos to share with us too! Ed drew us a design while we were there and it was great! It was a very easy process and we are extremely happy with Edible Dreams!

    Edible dreams is awesome! Our cake was included in our wedding package from our venue, but we had to meet with Ed in order to design our cake and pick our flavors.

    They'll do whatever you want them to do! I found a cake on their website that I liked, but wanted a few tweaks, and Ed happily drew me up a sketch. And the cake was DELICIOUS! Very moist and tasty.

    Edible Dreams was awesome!

    Our cake was fantastic! We chose Edible Dreams because we wanted a Nightmare Before Christmas themed cake. We sent them multiple pictures about what we wanted each tier to look like and it came out EXACTLY how we pictured it! Not only did it look amazing but it tasted fantastic! We are still getting compliments today about how great it was! If you’re looking for a place to do a unique wedding cake – Ed is your guy!

    I hired Edible Dreams to make a surprise groom's cake for my wedding. My husband loves Batman, so I asked them to make a 3D Batmobile cake. The cake came out awesome, and everyone at the wedding, especially the groom, really loved it. My only complaint is that their prices are a little high. The cake was really cool though, and it was delicious.

    Disappointing

    We used Edible Dreams for our wedding. We wanted to do a small cake to cut and then have a cupcake tower. We ordered 144 cupcakes to cover one cupcake per person to be safe along with some other desserts. The cake and cupcakes were delicious however the order was messed up and only 40 cupcakes arrived on the day of the wedding. The caterer tried to call when they came across it but there was no answer. We were pretty disappointed as the cupcake tower was one of things we were looking forward to the most on our wedding day. I’m not sure how it happened bc every time I called with a question or to check my balance I would review the order with person on phone because I wanted to triple check so avoid problems. Also, when preparing cupcakes as the main dessert for a wedding of 140 people there wasn’t a suspicion of only making 36? The next day after our wedding we went to return the tower we were allowed to borrow and informed him of the mistake. It looked like he truly felt bad about the situation and gave us some money back. The desserts were delicious so I would recommend with any baker making sure the order form is listed with quantities of each item and double checking several times.

    Edible Dreams Cakes provided a cake as a part of our venue package. I was really excited because I had heard SO MANY great things. We were showed different pictures of cakes and our coordinator raved about the cake (she is using them for her own wedding).

    When I went to meet with Ed (the owner) for our consult, to pick out the flavor, style, ect. he was no where to be found. The girls working there were really sweet and sat us down and gave us a book to browse through while we waited for him to come. A half hour after our appointment time the girl working told us he was at the DMV and would miss our appointment. Please explain why you would go to the DMV before an appointment? On top of that, the sweet girl had never done a consult before. We picked the cake and left VERY frustrated. If the cake wasn't included in my package I would have left and went elsewhere.

    I should also warn you that Edible Dreams DOES NOT pick up their phone. They are an "email only" type business. This was frustrating because they NEVER answered my emails! I emailed to ask about the cake topper. I wanted to bring in my own and wasn't sure what size to get. I emailed and emailed and called and never got any responses. I finally contacted my coordinator at our venue and she reached him on first try. He emailed me back after that without any sort of apology and a one sentance answer. I was fuming.

    My dropped off the cake topper and ribbon (to run around the layers) and Ed had no idea what cake she was talking about. He couldn't find the form we had filled out at the consult with the girl on that first day. He ended up eventually finding it.

    While he cake was delicious - didn't really look like I thought - but tasted great.

    I would never recommend this company to anyone.

    Cake is not good, and the owner is racist

    We went in for a tasting and all the samples were bland and crumbling.

    Racist owner

    Owner called my wife some horrible names after we had issues with a cake a while ago. I'm glad this guy is out of business now and hope no one else will deal with him.

    A Nightmare Experience

    My wife is known for her love of chocolate chip cookies. You can put her in a room with every kind of dessert imaginable and she would walk straight to a platter with a chocolate chip cookies. So... we thought it would be fun and unique to order a special custom wedding cake. It would be chocolate chip cookie themed and have multiple chocolate chip cookie layers baked into the cake. After several tastings with different vendors, we hired Edible Dream Cakes because they were enthusiastic about the idea and hit a Bulls-Eye with what we were looking for at the initial tasting. We were so excited about the wedding cake that we told all of our friends and family leading up to the big day. Unfortunately, we never could have predicted the nightmare that followed.

    On the wedding day, the cake looked right... on the outside it had a simple, classic layered shape with white frosting and several chocolate chip cookies set in a pattern. It wasn't until after it was cut and served that we discovered it wasn't at all what we were promised. It was just a plain yellow cake with more white frosting in between layers. Confused, my wife called two days later to ask what had gone wrong and one of the employees claimed it was our fault due to a miscommunication that occurred during the last confirmation call before the wedding. The woman she spoke with was incredibly rude and not at all empathetic to the fact that she was genuinely upset about not getting her dream cake. We weren't given any apology or even at least acknowledgement that they made a mistake. After our honeymoon, my wife called several more times but could never get through to the owner.  Eventually, her calls stopped going through completely and we realized she had been blocked. At this point, we actually felt like we had been scammed. She later decided to visit the shop in person with her mother, to confront the issue head on and demand a refund. Finally able to speak to the owner, he admitted the error and agreed to a refund after seeing pictures of the cake from our wedding day. A few more weeks pass and nothing happens. Yesterday, she had to conference call through her mom's phone (since her number was still blocked) and was told they no longer agree to the refund and instead offered to give us a $100 credit towards our next order.

    My wife has been dragged through the mud and she never deserved how they treated her. This is a poorly-run business and you should not be able to get away with treating customers like this. A mistake can be forgiven but this level of disrespect is truly despicable. Please avoid this place at all costs.

    Edible dream cakes did our Wedding cake I had a picture of my wedding cake gave it to ED he said it wouldn't be an issue to make I didn't give him anything crazy. I said I wanted buttercream & we got some NASTY "bettercream" what the hell. It was disgusting. The cake could have been more moist & I did not like that cream crap. Sooo disappointed I tell ya. Paid over $300 for a disappointing cake at the end. Yes presentation was alright but taste not good at all. Disappointed.

    I haven't eating anything from this place nor would I. The person running this company's youtube channel has been commenting on my videos with offensive language calling me names because I make videos exploring "haunted" locations in Connecticut. I included a photo of one comment as proof. Highly unprofessional and I will be sure to let everyone I know not to work with this company.

    This was the worst experience of my wedding. They charged us $700 for a cake that, when delivered, turned out to not only be an eyesore, but 75% styrofoam as well. Only the middle layer of the cake was real, and the rest was sheet cake, which they had planned for us not to find out about. The cake wasn't even carrot cake, which was what we had asked for.The rest of my vendors were talented, honest, and a pleasure to work with. These people are none of these things.
