Absolutely loved our cake! They took our dream and brought it to life. We also weren’t sure about adding more decoration onto it, and when we called saying we wanted to, they were patient and so accommodating! So happy we chose A Little Cake for our wedding.

We wanted something to match our woodlands themed wedding and the staff here delivered!! On top of that, they were able to make it vegan. I know from experience how challenging that can be without the cake crumbling into pieces. Definitely one of the highlights of our wedding night- everyone was raving about it!

NING. The in-person tasting was a nice experience, they provided full-sized slices of popular flavors, and even made us an extra slice to bring home to our family after we decided. We chose alternating tiers of Combo cake with cappuccino and Old Fashioned Chocolate with s’mores filling. But we were a little disappointed that many of their cakes/fillings either had little flavor or were way too sweet. I also needed time to rethink the design since what I originally wanted was out of our budget. Katie was very encouraging. When I called back, Vanessa was patient and assured me the new design would have just as much of the WOW-factor I envisioned.

We couldn't have been more thrilled with our wedding cake from A Little Cake! We chose a funfetti cake paired with a rich chocolate cake, both filled with a delectable Oreo filling...
, and it was absolutely amazing. The combination of flavors was a huge hit with our guests, and we received so many compliments on how delicious the cake was.
The funfetti cake was light, fluffy, and perfectly sweet, while the chocolate cake was rich and decadent. The Oreo filling added a delightful crunch and creamy texture that took the whole cake to the next level. The cake not only tasted incredible, but it was also beautifully designed to match our wedding theme, with elegant and subtle detailing that made it a showstopper.
What really stood out was the freshness and quality of the ingredients. Every bite was full of flavor, and it was clear that the bakery uses only the best. The cake held up beautifully throughout the event, staying moist and flavorful even after hours of being out at the reception.
Overall, we couldn't be happier with our decision to go with this bakery for our wedding cake. They truly delivered on taste, presentation, and quality, and it made our special day even more memorable. If you're looking for a delicious and unforgettable wedding cake, we highly recommend them! Thank you for making our wedding cake dreams come true!

The cake was a stunning centerpiece at our reception. The attention to detail in the decorations was remarkable, with intricate designs and beautiful embellishments that perfectly matched our wedding theme. It was clear that a lot of care and craftsmanship went into every aspect of the cake's creation.
But the real highlight was the taste. Each layer was more delicious than the last, with flavors that delighted all of our guests. The cake was moist, flavorful, and expertly balanced, making it a true treat for everyone who attended. We received countless compliments on how delectable it was.
We are so grateful for the dedication and passion that went into making our wedding cake. It was a memorable and delicious part of our special day, and we highly recommend this bakery to anyone looking for a cake that is as beautiful as it is tasty.

viable text made things much easier. I really appreciated being able to text instead of having phone calls. It allowed me to go back and see everything rather than trying to scribble down notes as we talked, which was so helpful while planning. They were friendly and knowledgeable with cake tasting and delivery options. We were even able to just pick up the cake tasting and do it at home, saving us time. The delivery was on time, and the cake was perfect. Our witnesses used them for their wedding and had great things to say, too.
There's cake could noted have been more perfect. It was one of the big highlights of the day. Everyone was in awe. Even our photographer was impressed. Will absolutely use them again.

I’ll start by saying the final cake came out exactly as expected, it was pretty, no hassles in getting to the venue as A Little Cake worked directly with them so stress free on my ...
side, and it tasted great so that’s really the important part. The day of cake and experience were 5 star.
Knocking stars for the tasting experience. The cake was included with my venue package and I was soooo soooo excited for my cake tasting. When we got there we were shown the list of flavors and options for the first time - allow at that point we weren’t given a choice for the tasting, those were preselected. It would have been a much better experience if the flavors were shared with us ahead of time to select from. The tasting consisted of a total of 3 cake flavors and 6 fillings (many were premium). When it was clear we weren’t going to be buying any of the add-ons early on, the mood was colder. We couldn’t ask for additional flavors (and couldn’t even bring the leftovers on our plate home). We ended up going back a couple weeks later and buying other cake flavors and fillings which we selected from. Tasting was 2 star so overall I’d give a 3-3.5.
Wasn’t my dream but I’m sure if you are spending the money it would be a better, warmer experience.

Super glad this bakery was included with our venue, tasting was seamless and drop off coordinated by our venue. We asked for a naked cake our wedding planner and venue staff let us...
know it was a little "plain" it didn't look as "naked" but it was not the focal point of our night (we didn't announce a cutting or feed each other for pictures). Our florist spruced it up with florals and wish we got to try the bottom two tiers from reception, they gave us the topper (which we already ate because the tradition of freezing cake is gross in my opinion). All in all, our guests and we loved it.

with was super friendly and patient with us as we changed our overall cake design a couple of times. We ended up doing a simpler cake—our florist added fresh flowers to the cake—with a hand-drawn floral design, white fondant, and alternating tiers of chocolate/vanilla cake with fresh strawberries in chocolate ganache. It was beautiful and elegant and it worked perfectly with our overall wedding décor and flowers. Also, make sure to try their other baked goods. We stocked up after our cake tasting and it gives you a great idea of how talented this bakery is!

ly easy to get everything set up, we worked with Leo on the flavors and design and he was really wonderful to work with and even sketched up a cake for us while we were sitting there, as we had brought in some photos for design reference. We ended up with a 3-tier cake with 2 flavors (top 2 tiers were one flavor and bottom tier was a different flavor), and the resulting wedding cake was SO DELICIOUS! We got 4 massive slabs of leftover cake from the bottom tier (in addition to our top tier) back from the venue, and have been gladly eating it for dessert almost every night, as it still tastes as amazing as it did that night even though its been 3 (almost 4!) weeks since the wedding. Our guests were absolutely loving the cake too! Buttercream was not too sweet or too sugary as some buttercream frostings can be, and the fillings were perfect. Planning to go back to A Little Cake for any future special occasion cake needs!

A Little Cake did an absolutely SPECTACULAR job with the groom’s cake for my wedding. Early on in the planning process I reached out to them with my preferred flavor and a general ...
list of my fiancé’s favorite things. They promptly replied with a sketch that perfectly incorporated his interests into something fun and whimsical (the other bakeries just said they could accommodate me and would accept a deposit). What they delivered exceeded my wildest expectations. The groom’s cake reveal remains one of my favorite moments of our wedding weekend thanks to the inventiveness, skill, and craftsmanship of this bakery. Oh and by the way, have I mentioned that it tasted delicious?! Because it did. If I could go back and hire them again, I would in a heartbeat. They are amazing and I am eternally grateful. Hire them, you won’t regret it.
