Sam Sent on 10/23/2018Delicious, pretty
Our venue had this as one of two cake vendors - so we didn't deal directly with them. But the cake was exactly as we pictured it and it was delicious. Almond cake with raspberry filling! 3 tiered -

Chaz Sent on 06/20/2018We worked with the manager, Tamala, for our wedding cake and cookies. She sat down with us and really took her time to listen to what we wanted and showed us pictures and options that would work within our budget. She was so helpful and informative and just a pleasure to work with. It shows that she cares about her customers and what she does. The cake was SO delicious and beautiful! The cookies, oh my goodness, I've never had cookies that still tasted so fresh over a week later! Wow. I'll be referring everyone to them and will be ordering more myself! -
User3131442 Sent on 07/14/2017I actually traveled with cookies to another state. They were helpful in explaining what I needed to do keep them fresh and packaged them accordingly for us! They were delicious!! Had to show how brides in Pittsburgh take cookies serious!!! -
User2370788 Sent on 10/16/2015Pricing and management of cake was excellent. Variety of options and management skill sets for those with time management problems and good flexibility while remaining a fun and professional appearance with a great sense of value on your big day.
Cake design was breathtaking and provided a well balanced dessert staying within budget and with even the most pickiest of sweet tooth greatly satisfied. -
User2274496 Sent on 08/17/2015We used them for our "bride and groom" cake as well as ordered many cupcakes for our wedding guests. Couldn't have asked for a better bakery to work with. They were so personal and helped us so much! They brought our vision to life with our cupcake display and our "bride and groom" cake. Thank you Kathy for making our wedding day so memorable and perfect. Our guests couldn't get enough of the cupcakes! -

User1248122 Sent on 07/19/2013Delicious wedding cake! It was fresh and moist, and it tasted just as good when we unfroze it after our honeymoon. Everything was delivered and decorated as promised. The consultation was very personal. We met with someone who was able to expand our ideas into a great cake, and it took very little effort on our part. -
User858937 Sent on 07/10/2012Pastries a la carte made cupcakes and groom's cake for our wedding reception of 210 people at Pittsburgh's Grand Hall at the Priory.
I have not stopped receiving compliments on the cupcakes, everything from how beautiful and unique they looked to how amazing they tasted. They even made appearances on several guest's Instagram and Facebook pages accompanied by many 'likes'! We had red velvet with cream cheese filling, almond batter with raspberry filling and chocolate chocolate. All with buttercream icing. We also purchased special cupcake covers that set a standard look to all of the cupcakes despite the various flavors and really made the tower look classy and consistent. The groom's cake was carrot cake and I don't think it lasted 5 minutes after we opened up the table for consumption. The groom never even got to taste it as it was devoured so quickly.
I met with a few other bakeries and none were able to take my vision and colors and make it real while adding their own suggestions and creativity. I clicked with them immediately and they remained responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. They have a passion for what they do and were friendly from the first phone call, which some other bakeries lack. I never felt like they were just trying to make a sale but they seemed genuinely interested in adding something special to our wedding and were full of ideas on how to take it to the next level. Pricing was reasonable and competitive with other bakeries that I visited, but I felt it was a better experience for the money.
Absolutely recommended for your Pittsburgh wedding needs! I also got to see some wedding cakes while visiting and all were gorgeously done. If you are considering a cupcake tower, I can tell you they will provide one that your guests will not soon forget and will look incredible in your photographs!

Kelly Sent on 06/06/2012We ordered the burnt almond raspberry torte for our wedding cake and it was a huge hit! We cut a small round cake for the photo and to keep for after the honeymoon, and then had sheet cakes cut for the guests. Everyone loved it. Also, my mother said the staff there were some of the nicest people she's ever worked with and were very accommodating. I would recommend them without hesitation. -

Maura Sent on 05/29/2012After using this vendor in the past for other special occasions, there was no question we would use them for a wedding cake. We had a picture of the cake we wanted and it was perfect. The vanilla cake with raspberry filling was the most delicious cake and the presentation was also beautiful. -
