    Amazing Lara

    Lara was easy to work with and out of all the cakes we tried her was EASILY knocking all other bakers out of the park. Her cake and cupcakes were all stunning. I had the most amazing spread. Thank you endlessly :)

    Dream Wedding Cake!

    My friends bakery has done a lot of occasions for my family, including 3 wedding and 2 birthdays. She took our vision for our wedding cake and display and brought it to life. Not only was it picture perfect but the taste was out of this world. People still rave about how good our cup cakes were and we got married a few months ago!

    Beautiful and delicious cake, great communication and easy to work with.

    Lara was wonderful to work with for our wedding cake. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. We had a tasting with her and went over the vision of our cake. Her cakes and flavors are absolutely delicious! She created a beautiful cake that was exactly how we pictured it. Our guests raved about the flavors of our cake, and several went back for a second slice. Her delivery was on-time and we were able to rent a cake stand from her for a good price. Overall we highly recommend My Friend’s Bakery!

    Donut Dream Cake!

    Lara is an absolute maestro when it comes to baking! She flawlessly executed our vision, leaving no donut uneaten at our event—all while making everything dairy-free and incredibly delicious. Her tasting session wowed us, and I'd rebook her in a heartbeat for her scrumptious desserts. Lara's talent and dedication make her an unbeatable choice for anyone seeking delightful, flawlessly executed treats. Thank you, Lara, for making our event a sweet success!

    Kind and Talented Baker!

    Lara helped pull together a delicious and beautiful dessert table for us. She was helpful and kind every step of the way, pulling together a sampler box for us to try various treats, communicating in a timely and effective manner, and providing guidance on making selections based on guest dietary restrictions and lack of refrigeration on site. Her desserts not only taste good but are beautiful and she was able to provide rentals for the dessert display and set them up at our venue on our wedding date.

    Accommodated a fairly large order on short notice. Had a great selection of cupcakes both with and without filing. Was able to make gluten free cupcakes that were amazing as well! All around great experience. Highly recommend

    Sooooo good!

    I hired My Friend's Bakery for my wedding on 11/5/22. Lara is so receptive to your budget and any ideas you have. I had a two-layer cake, one pumpkin with cream cheese frosting, and one vanilla with maple buttercream. I got SO MANY compliments on how delicious and moist the cake was. I plan on having her make a lot of anniversary cakes for me in the future :)

    Cake was delicious!

    Lara made a beautiful cake and cupcake for our wedding that tasted DELICIOUS and looked beautiful! Our wedding was in October so the flavors were fall themed with an assortment of spice, maple, etc. I was worried the cake would be dry cause wedding cake infamously can be, but it was perfect as perfect can be and so flavorful.

    Lara did an amazing job creating a dessert table for our wedding. Everything was delicious and our guests were so happy with the variety of yummy treats! She was so easy to work with and we would highly recommend her! We'll definitely be back for more treats for future events! Thank you Lara!

    Best Wedding Cake!

    I had initially really wanted a Jacques wedding cake, but after looking into their pricing and tasting their sampler box, we were not impressed. I found Lara through a friend's recommendation. She is so amazing! She sketched our cake design for us, it was unlike anything she had made before. I wish I could include a picture to show you how beautiful it was! Not only was it beautiful, it was delicious! We had three flavors in four tiers, and every single flavor was moist and light and full of flavor! Plus, her beautiful cake was half the price of what Jacques charges, for a more delicious cake! I can't recommend Lara enough, she does amazing work!

    Delicious Cake!

    Cake was honestly not our biggest priority during wedding planning, but we ended up looking forward to having our wedding cake after we had our tasting with Lara! We got a 6-inch cutting cake with sheet cakes for our guests. We chose the chocolate cake with cream cheese filling and vanilla buttercream frosting. We appreciate how the cake and frosting wasn't too sweet. At the end of the night, our guests expressed that they loved the cake and some even went back for seconds! As we received RSVPs, the guest list ended up being smaller than initially planned and Lara was able to accommodate a smaller order. We really enjoyed working with Lara and would highly recommend My Friend's Bakery!

    Amazing Cakes!!

    Lara made the most incredible cake for us! She provided us with samples of what we wanted to try during the tasting. Our guests raved about how delicious the cake was at wedding. It looked AMAZING. She answered each question I had that came up and helped me understand the process. I can't recommend this bakery enough!

    My Friend's Bakery's reply:

    Thank you Jacquelyn for your kind review! I am so glad that you and your guests enjoyed the cake. Best wishes to you and Aron!

    Just what we wanted

    We knew we were booking Lara for our cake as soon as we met her for our tasting. She is so easy to work with and made our cake exactly the way we wanted it, to go with our white and gold theme. The flavors are incredible, and the cake itself looked stunning. Look no further- highly recommend!

    Great Cakes!

    My Friend's Bakery made two delicious cakes for our wedding. We wanted a layer of a completely custom coconut cake and a Black Forest groom's cake and this bakery rose to the occasion. Both cakes were absolutely fabulous and some of the best cake I've ever had at a wedding before. The frosting wasn't too sweet and the cake was nice and moist. Not to mention, the cakes were beautiful! Would definitely recommend.

    LOVED the desserts!!!

    Lara is amazing. She was professional, helped guide our choices for our wedding day dessert bar and made each item incredible. We had a small carrot cake for cutting that was beautifully decorated, apple cider donuts as favors, and our dessert bar had carrot cake and chocolate cupcakes, pumpkin whoopie pies with cream cheese filling, mini cheesecakes, pecan tassies, and an oatmeal white chocolate cranberry cookie. Each was SO delicious and she even set aside a box for us to enjoy after the wedding. Couldn’t recommend enough, thanks Lara!

    Beautiful Wedding Cake

    We had a great experience with Lara and she met our needs for what our vision of our cake would be for our wedding! Most importantly it tasted so delicious and our guests commented on loving the raspberry filling.

    Amazing Bakery for Wedding Cake & Desserts!

    Lara was amazing to work with for our wedding cake & dessert! We wanted to do a full dessert bar for our wedding along with a cake. When we went for our consult she had wonderful ideas and suggestions. Not to mention everything she bakes is DELICIOUS. Our guests raved about the desserts - especially the mini pumpkin whoopie pies! She was very responsive, reasonably priced and executed our dessert bar vision perfectly. Cannot recommend her enough!!

    So beautiful and delicious

    Oh my goodness!! Lara at my friends bakery is amazing! She is so friendly, very professional, and clearly talented. From our tasting, to the big day, she was a pleasure to work with. First of all, we received multiple compliments on the design and taste of the cake. People who don’t even like cake were complimenting it. Lara guided our decision marking and allowed us to have 3 different flavors for our 3 tier cake. The cake was delivered on time, and in perfect condition. We cannot wait to break into our cake again on our one year anniversary. I would recommend Lara to anyone and everyone!

    Best Wedding Desserts Ever

    Lara is awesome! We didn't want a traditional wedding cake and were looking for something personal to our and our families' tastes. We decided we wanted a bunch of smaller differing desserts, something that our guests could take home as favors. Lara absolutely knocked this out of the park! She encouraged us to be ourselves and pick the desserts we like best. We went with two different kinds of cookies, brownies, two kinds of mini pies, and cider doughnuts. Everything was delicious and amazingly fresh and flew off the dessert table. We're from RI and would seriously consider paying Lara another visit just to grab more desserts for parties at home. We'd absolutely recommend her to anyone!

    Delicious and Beautiful

    I know many great bakeries around that would be able to do my wedding cake, but I chose My Friend's Bakery. The reason was because she uses Italian meringue buttercream, which is what I prefer. Also, cake tasting was free. I personally am a professional pastry chef, so I was doubting Lara at first. I came in for the tasting with my mother-in-law, who at the time just came from Indonesia, so her palate was still Indonesian palate (most of my guests were Indonesians). We both liked the cake so much. It was very moist and delicious. The buttercream was what I was looking for, so we decided to go with it. On the day of my reception, I could ask for a better cake! All of my guests loved it! The cake was beautiful, better than what I envisioned. I will definitely order another cake from Lara. Highly recommended!
