    We'll be back for our anniversary.

    We got nine cakes for a cake bar; the cakes were fresh and delicious; the cakes were moist and flavorful, and the frosting was cream cheese. We got the Lemon, Red Velvet, and Raspberry Almond Poppyseed. Great price, and everyone enjoyed the cakes. I was happy to enjoy my wedding cakes. We’ll be back for our anniversary.

    Best cake ever!

    I MEAN EVER! My wedding cake was AMAZING. Run don’t walk to support this amazing bakery. It was so good, I ordered another one a week later to celebrate my friend’s graduation from Grad School. EVERYONE said it was the best cake they have ever had. And getting to support an LGBTQ+ business just makes it that much better. Thank you for helping make our special day even more special.

    Highly recommend!

    This place is AMAZING. Honestly, best cake ever. We aren’t even really cake people! We did several cake tastings, and this was an absolute no brainer. Not only was it significantly less expensive than the others we tried, but it also blew away the competition in terms of taste. We ended up getting cookies to serve too, which were also delicious. By the next day, there was hardly any cake left, and no cookies left! We now go out of our way to visit the bakery every time we are in Oregon visiting now!

    Great Bakery!

    We ordered our wedding cake from The Hungry Hero and loved our experience with them. Their team is so friendly, and all their desserts and cakes are so tasty!

    The cake was beautiful and delicious. We got a two tiered cake and we made one tier vanilla cake, and the other spiced cake because we couldn’t decide which flavor we liked better. We also really appreciated that they had options for very simple cakes - and at such reasonable wedding cake prices. And to top it all off, their tasting experience is so fun!

    Your Guests Will Fight Over The Desserts

    I had such a great experience with Alex and Zane at The Hungry Hero! They were responsive, fun, and friendly. Our wedding cake was simple and delicious - exactly how we wanted it - and when they delivered it, they styled it with the cake flowers we had purchased from our florist. It turned out SO CUTE! I was so happy to see it when I arrived at our reception! We also had a dessert table, and people were fighting over the bars! The gooey butter bars and the Debbie bars are 100% worth fighting for. They were SO good!!! It's probably a good thing I don't live super close to the bakery, because I would be dropping in for their bars all the time. I highly recommend them not only as a wedding vendor, but also as a great everyday bakery. I can't wait to go back for some goodies!

    Alex and Zane did a wonderful job! My standards are *very* high when it comes to dessert, and these guys do not disappoint. Communication via email was really easy and I loved the flexibility when choosing items for our dessert table. I cannot wait to order again for a special occasion or even just pop into their shop for a little treat.

    I can’t say enough good things about Hungry Hero Dessert Co.! I had them do the cake and cupcakes for my wedding, and I am so glad I did! Zane and Alex are wonderful to work with and very responsive to all questions! Not to mention that everyone raved about how delicious the cupcakes were! I would recommend them to everyone!

    We had Hungry Heros cater our dessert for our wedding back in September of 2017. We decided to use them because we wanted to pick something non traditional of just cake and something that we both enjoyed and we knew would be a hit with our guests. I want to give them a big shoutout for being so awesome from the taste testing, to quotes (I went back and fourth with item choices one too many times)! So incredibly helpful and reassured us that there would be plenty of food to serve everyone. Nothing went to waste and the guests couldn't wait to get their hands on all the variety of items fast enough. For our first bite we cut into their pan of cinnamon rolls which were a HIT!! I originally just wanted pies but after seeing their display, I wanted it all! We received so many compliments about the dessert and asked where we ordered from by future bride and grooms! We can't thank the team enough for making our day so memorable and providing us with delicious dessert!

    These guys make incredible desserts!! When we went in for our tasting they had prepared all the flavors we had discussed plus extras for us to try. I almost cried when I tried the Raspberry Almond Poppyseed cupcake because it was so delicious and knew we had to have it for our wedding cake. Alex and Zane were fantastic to work with and had so many ideas for how to fill our dessert table with something for all of our guests. They were also great at working within our budget, which we really appreciated.

    On our wedding day, they set up a beautiful dessert table display at our reception that went perfectly with the feel of our wedding. Our guests raved about the desserts and my parents loved the Raspberry Almond Poppyseed cupcakes so much that The Hungry Hero was their first stop when they came back to Oregon to visit me for the first time after the wedding. We were so happy with The Hungry Hero and would recommend them to everyone! :)

    We love Alex, Zane and the staff at HH. We'd been going there for years, either to their flagship shop in Sherwood, or when they were working out of the back of a restaurant. They were a natural choice when we started talking about desserts. In fact, they were the first vendors we booked. They were fun to work with and when I brought them something they'd never done before, they did it for us (mini cinnamon rolls! YAY!). They put up a beautiful dessert table that had all the guests begging to know where we got those awesome french macs. That's why we had them post a sign at the dessert table. We knew once folks tried them, they'd need to know. It's both a joy and a shame that they are right by where I work. We love this wonderful bakery.

    Hungry Hero made our wedding cake for our wedding this past weekend and they knocked it out of the park! During our initial tasting, Alex took the time to ask all about the wedding and how we wanted the cake to reflect the colors of the day. He worked with a local florist to add blackberry brambles and hops to the cake to reflect the theme of our wedding at a Brewery. He and Zane were very responsive to emails and dropped off our cake at our reception venue in downtown Portland the day of the wedding. Multiple guests told us it was the most delicious wedding cake they'd ever had (vanilla cake with hazelnut frosting and blackberry preserves). I also felt that their prices were much cheaper than vendors in downtown Portland (we spent $350 for a cake that fed 95 guests plus leftovers). Highly recommend!

    Hungry Hero is an incredible dessert company. They created the most beautiful wedding dessert table for our wedding. All of the desserts were absolutely baked to perfection. They painted gold dusting onto our cake and macaroons. We were so impressed with how everything was presented for our day. They arrived prompted when agreed upon and set everything up themselves. We would recommend them to everyone we know getting married!

    Alex is amazing at what he does! Our cake and dessert table at our wedding was truly a op highlight of the event. Not only was it incredibly beautiful, but all of the dessert were absolutely delicious. We met with Alex once to go over what we wanted and he went above and beyond what we could have ever hoped for. We wanted to include succulents on our cake for decoration, and when he though the floral decoration might be too big for the already planned cake size, he accommodated us with a bigger cake! Please go visit The Hungry Hero very every and all of your dessert wants and needs, you will not be sorry!

    Love Love The Hungry Hero!

    The Hungry Hero created our wedding cake and dessert bar. The desserts were so delicious and our guests raved about the wide range of delicious cupcake flavors. The pie on a stick was a crowd favorite. Beyond the incredible desserts is Zane, who helped pull everything together with such little time. He was so kind and accommodating and great to work with. I highly recommend The Hungry Hero!

    Delicious and beautiful!

    Hungry Hero executed my vision for my wedding cake very well! They made me a chocolate cake with raspberry filling (our favorite) and covered it in forest green icing, my wedding’s main color! They even put my cake flowers on the cake in the most beautiful way. I was so happy with how the cake turned out! Looking forward to eating the cake top next year!!

    LOVE these folks!

    The Hungry Hero will not let you down! Not only were they the absolute yummiest cakes we tried, but they also have AMAZING bars and cookies to add on. They were super willing to help us with our vision of the day - and were SO kind and fun to work with. You honestly couldn't pick a better, more fun-loving, or delicious shop in town! The only bad thing I can say about them is that they are too far to me to go to every weekend! We're approaching 3 weeks post wedding now and people are STILL telling me how much they loved our cakes!

    Crazy Delicious!

    Wow! Everything from here is absolutely delicious! We did a dessert bar and got an array of cupcakes, bars, cookies, cookie sandwiches, mini pies on a stick, and a cake for cutting. Every single item from The Hungry Hero is divine! Stand out items were Gooey Butter Bar, Snickerdoodle and Ugly Cookie Creams, and the Banana Cake. At our tasting we were able to try an array of desserts (about 9 different menu items) and since we booked at our tasting we received a discount off our order. The only disappointing factor was that they were hard to get a hold of about 4 weeks before the wedding to confirm our order. Two weeks before the wedding, they asked us if we could pick up our desserts after we had already paid for delivery and set up. Come day off, the delivery person set the boxes on the table and tried to leave. Our Day of Coordinator noticed this and had to ask him to set up. This extra stress about the uncertainty if our desserts would be there was unfortunate, especially considering we were amid a pandemic. We also needed to supply our own signs for the desserts. But overall, our dessert bar was a major hit for all of our guests.
