Still dreaming of this cake!
Working with Alison was a dream! My partner and I went to her home for the tasting and had a wonderful experience. The cakes and icings were all delicious, it was hard to choose a winner! We ultimately chose a red velvet cake with house and buttercream icings. It was so good, we had none left over! She also designed the cake beautifully, just as we discussed, even adding in some of our flowers to tie it all together. I would certainly recommend Vanilla Bean Bake Shoppe for any and all of your cake needs!Working with Alison was a dream!

Amazing Baker! The next Sylvia Weinstock
Allison is so sweet, patient, and flexible! She is also so creative and made the wedding cake of our dreams and the grooms cake was impeccable! I am very picky up frosting and I told her I wanted the Sylvia Weinstock frosting and she delivered!! I have had PTSD from previous weddings with very dry and awful cake and holy moly her cake was so moist and amazing!! In fact, we have had her cake in the refrigerator for 3 months and we are still eating it and it still is so moist and tastes amazing!! This should definitely attest to the fact of how amazing Allison’s cakes are!Allison is so sweet, patient, and flexible!

Amazing!!!
Allison is wonderful and brought our vision to life! We wanted a top tier cutting cake with assorted cupcakes (more options and covid friendly for our 2021 wedding). The raspberry icing is the best! We did a cake tasting at her house (where she has converted her garage into a commercial grade kitchen). There are so many options for flavors. She even gives you a complimentary cake for your 1 year anniversary (which we got ours today!)Allison is wonderful and brought our vision to life!

Delicious and Beautiful Wedding Cakes!
Vanilla Bean Bake Shoppe impressed us with the quality and taste of the cakes, filling, and icing. We both gravitate towards fresh flavors over super sweet ingredients and this baker delivered! She was able to capture our design ideas and create a beautiful cake with very reasonable pricing! The surprise groom's cake (a 3D penguin!) was also beautiful and delicious, a great quirky addition that was secretly designed by the bakery and bride. We look forward to enjoying her other baked goods! Highly recommend this bakery, book with her asap as we see her business really growing in the future!Vanilla Bean Bake Shoppe impressed us with the quality and taste of the cakes, filling, and icing.

Vanilla Bean Bake Shoppe makes the best cakes! We used them for our wedding cake and it was such a good experience. She works out of her home, which I love. For our tasting, we got to her home a little early and she invited us in and said "you guys can have a seat while I finish making your icing." We were so impressed! She was making our icing right then! Not something left over or anything like that. It was all fresh! So of course we booked her and she delivered our cake to our venue on our wedding day and it was gorgeous. We made the inside of our cake blue which we thought would be difficult, but she welcomed it and it wasn't a problem at all! Allison (the owner) is very very sweet and helpful. I would recommend her to anyone!Vanilla Bean Bake Shoppe makes the best cakes! We used them for our wedding cake and it was such a good experience. She works out of her home, which I love.

This place is AMAZING! We have ordered cupcakes from them a bunch of times and when we got engaged we had to have them make our wedding cake! We gave them the ideas we had and information about our wedding and when we received the drafted picture we knew we had made the right decision! The owner made our cake and delivered it herself to our wedding venue two hours from her shop. She assembled it on site and when we saw it for the first time we were stunned! She made gumpaste snowflakes in all different shapes and sizes and ran them up the cake and then she lit them from behind with mini LED lights! We are still getting compliments on the wedding cake and it has been over a month since our wedding! The cake tasted as great as it looked and we couldnt have been happier! The owner also made a groomscake that was a replica of my husbands fire helmet and with only a weeks notice she had it made and delivered to my MIL for transport to the rehersal dinner! My husband loved it and i couldnt beleive how much it looked like a real helmet instead of a cake! We cant wait to use her services again in the future and we have already referred her to friends and family!!!This place is AMAZING!

Allison at Vanilla Bean Bake Shoppe was amazing! I wanted pies rather than a cake, and not only did Allison not flinch at that idea, she suggested individual pies!
My grandmother always made a rhubarb custard pie, and I had my heart set on that unusual flavors being offered at my reception. Allison did research and found a recipe that tasted so much like my grandmother's.
She delivered all the pies to our venue and the whole set up was just beautiful and delicious. Allison communicates better by phone than email, in my experience.Allison at Vanilla Bean Bake Shoppe was amazing!

My wedding cake was a little hot mess
Allison was a nice person but my cake was awful. We 1st mer her and tasted her cake at a bridal show and the cake they had there were the best tasting cakes at the show. We also did a tasting at her home to pick out our cake for the wedding. That was fresh and tasty. However the cake for our wedding tasted nothing like the others we tried previously. It was decorated very pretty but seemed as it was frozen before and very hard to cut on the wedding day. We ended up throwing away the whole bottom tier of the cake(the cake wasn't cheap either). We were very disappointed and felt like we wasted money on something we were satisfied with!Allison was a nice person but my cake was awful.
