A Simple Cake

rs (chocolate cake with espresso creme and vanilla bean buttercream icing, and lemon cake with passionfruit filling and lemon icing). Easiest process ever, and a great value!

or my wedding, I knew I wanted to work with her for my wedding cake. When we booked our sample cake box order, she made the process super easy and was so helpful with guiding us on the different flavor combinations. As a planner, I had a particular vision in mind for my wedding cake and Nicolle truly brought it to life. I wanted one big cake (for our guests) and two miniature cakes (one for me and one for my husband), but I wanted them to be cohesive with each other and with my wedding design. Nicolle was so patient with me with my (what felt like) hundreds of questions and helped me brainstorm ideas when I wasn't quite sure about certain aspects. We came up with a mix of her designs on each different cake and it went SO perfectly with my wedding theme and color palette. On wedding day, I was blown away by how beautiful the cakes were and they were so deliciousss!! My husband is not really a cake person, and even he still talks about how good his coconut cake was and asks if we can buy another one just to have it again! I couldn't be happier that I went with A Simple Cake for my perfect wedding cake(s) and I highly recommend her to literally anyone who needs a wedding cake. Please book her, you will not be disappointed!!!

modating any special requests we had. She guided us through the various options, providing helpful suggestions while also listening carefully to our preferences. The tasting process was really fun - I had expected to do a tasting with my fiance at the bakery but ASC gives you a box of your trial/options to take away, which was actually even more fun! We brought the mini tasters to our wedding venue (a brewery in Brooklyn) and made a date night of it - it was an unexpected highlight of our planning process. Most of all I can’t get over how flavorful the cake was - normally wedding cakes are dry and bland but this was beyond (we went with lemon cake and raspberry filling)...we can't wait to indulge in this delicious cake and reminisce about our wedding day a year from now!

tand website, and wide variety of choices. Despite not having the largest budget, Nicolle worked to create exactly what we needed. We did order a cake sampler with 4 mini cakes of various flavors and fillings. We ended up mixing our favorite flavor and filling from two different initial thoughts and ended up with a spiced cake and vanilla bean filling -- perfect for fall! We opted for a New York skyline design, which is a custom design Nicolle offers. We honestly couldn't be happier with our choice and our cake was both delicious and gorgeous. Nicolle is incredibly knowledgeable and is so friendly and professional. We cannot recommend her enough!

cake with cream cheese & salted caramel cream filling with a refined pleats design. The cake was beautiful and delicious! Thank you Nicolle!

etail. Nicolle is on point with understanding what her clients need and consolidating her orders into concise invoices. Sometimes she takes a few days to respond to your emails, but that is explained upfront on her website. We opted for one of her pre-set flavor combinations from her cake sample box (funfetti with fresh strawberries) as my husband and I are not flavor-connoisseurs. It was a light delicious flavor and I know for sure my guests enjoyed it. The cake was placed right in front of our sweetheart table and it really elevated the look of our party! Four tiered cakes are the way to go, for sure 🤭😉 I also loved her flower choice for my cake. I’m assuming she contacts your florist (if you have one) and they coordinate the colors. I was honestly expecting rich reds for my flowers but she opted for light pinks. Which considering how whimsical my decor looked, this actually worked out. I’ll be honest, I knew that the cake was supposed to arrive by 3 PM. But at that point in my wedding day, I stuck my phone with my older brother and just ignored all my alarms 😅 I was mentally checked out. But thankfully Nicolle contacted my banquet manager and took care of everything on her end. I saw the bag my kitchen cake was in and she had explicit written instructions about how to handle the cake and even details about whether or not the couple planned to save the first layer for that 1-year anniversary thing. I LOVE her commitment to detail and making sure no one has to ask anything. Was she a healthcare professional at some point in her life? Because Ive only known myself (a pharmacist by trade) to be so meticulous in written instructions and descriptions of anything. 😂😂😂 I pretty much had all of my kitchen cake left over, but this was something Nicolle was very transparent about from the beginning too. I could have safely shaved off another 15-20 servings….but I suppose it is always better to have more than less. Also I appreciate her assuring me that she prepares cakes with nut flavors and cakes without on separate days to avoid cross contamination. I had 1 table of guests who had children all with nut allergies (unsure how severe though) and I was able to assure them that the cake was safe to eat. If you’re based in the NYC area, I definitely would recommend A Simple Cake to be your cake vendor.

Can't wait to order our anniversary cake.

ed great! I'd highly recommend!

rom the tasting to the cake delivery, everything was seamless! I would highly recommend A Simple Cake!

y of our sample box to seeing the gorgeous final product at our wedding. We got so many compliments on how beautiful and delicious our cake was! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.

oyed it. Also, her tasting process is so seamless and fun!!! Thank you thank you thank you, Nicolle!

were able to work with Nicolle on all other details and on the day of our wedding, we were blown away with the taste of the cake - as were our guests! We can't recommend A Simple Cake enough.

on and her talent is unmatched.

ned out even better than we could have imagined and we received many compliments from our guests. It was not too sweet and had amazing depth of both sweet and tart flavors. Even my husband, who is not a huge fan of cake, loved it!

here was not a single slice leftover at the end of the night! We will definitely be reaching out again to pick up a cake for our anniversary.

t was going to look like and she did a great job of decorating the cake with similar flowers. Delivery was seamless as well!

the flavors were delicious, but the coconut cake with passionfruit curd was by-far one of the best cakes I have ever tasted! We had to have it for our wedding. Nicolle was extremely pleasant to work with --she worked with our budget, understood our aesthetic, and was super responsive. She was also very understanding when we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID. Our wedding cake turned out beautiful and tasted just as delicious as when we sampled it!

e throughout the whole process. Would highly recommend.

y difficult to discern differences once you've looked through hundreds. We are extremely happy we went with A Simple Cake and Nicolle. The difference I noticed immediately was the communication. She is quick to respond, and I do not mean with 1 sentence replies. She is thorough and tries to picture exactly what you are looking for. She made the process easy and gave me confidence that she is the one we wanted to hire. Her website is also easy to use which is a big plus. If you do not see what you are looking for on her website, she is willing to work with you so you can have what you are looking for, just like she did with us. Also, she pays attention to details and gives feedback as to what she thinks would be more ideal and gives you choices. On our wedding day, we received many positive comments about our wedding cake. People said it was beautiful, classy, elegant. Many people asked who made our wedding cake and stated that the cake was delicious. It made us happy receiving so many positive comments about our wedding cake. Another major difference between Nicolle and other wedding cake designers is the price point. Her prices are very affordable and reasonable. You won't feel like you are getting ripped off. I sent our preferred cake design to a number of top cake designers in the NYC area and you would be surprised by the price range. I was quoted anywhere from $1500 to $3000+. Now lets just say I paid nowhere close to that with Nicolle. And honestly for her work and the ease of working with her, she could charge more. Pros: - Beautiful, elegant, classy looking wedding cake - Great and easy communication with Nicolle - Affordable and Reasonable Pricing Cons: -None

e with A Simple Cake. Not only did our cake flawlessly match our elegant black-tie wedding vibe, but the lemon scented cake with classic cream cheese & lemon zested cream ​tasted AMAZING. The at home tasting process was so fun and we knew we had nothing to worry about on the big day. Would highly recommend to anyone for their wedding.

e (she usually responded to my emails within 24 hours at the most). I looked into many options and found that A Simple Cake had by far the best pricing for such high quality cakes. Becuase of COVID, Nicolle personally dropped off samples for us to try at home, which was actually really fun! We made a whole night of it and loved everything we tasted. Leading up to the wedding, Nicolle was really flexible and helpful while we made adjustments to our headcount because of the pandemic. On the day of the wedding, Nicolle had made such a delicious, beautiful cake for us with gorgeous florals. We were so happy with our wedding cake! We would definitely hire Nicolle again for any future events :)

anted - something simple. I soon learned that simple does not equal any less delicious, though. Nicolle was able to drop off a trifecta of cake samples at our apartment (as we were still in pandemic times), and we quickly settled on one flavor combination. Nicolle created a beautiful cake that sat next to us during the reception! She is very easy to communicate with and I highly recommend A Simple Cake no matter your dessert tastes or the size of your wedding - she is willing to bake up an appropriate amount of cake for your guests!

s. She did an amazing job decorating the cake with florals (they ended up matching perfectly with my color scheme!) and the cake itself tasted divine. We are looking forwardto getting another cake from her for our 1 year anniversary! Could not recommend her enough!

ch for everything! I would 100% recommend using A Simple Cake and would love to work with Nicolle again.

am so happy I found her business after a major mishap with another well known BK bakery for our special day. We ended up ordering 2 cakes for our micro wedding as we were split on our top flavor choice. We went with classic red velvet 2 tier mini and a single cake of Passion fruit. I cannot say enough about the passion fruit flavor - it’s bright, like spring and summer baked into a cake. Perfection! We were also blown away by her craftsmanship with wafer paper flowers. Our cake set is featured on A Simple Cake Instagram. We can’t wait to place our next order with Nicolle - celebrating our anniversary. Do not hesitate to order from A Simple Cake. She is a dream vendor to work with as well!!!

) with delicious toasted almond cake and crushed raspberry cream filling that everyone enjoyed. With the pandemic challenges, Nicolle was patient and accommodating to our changing plans and was able to deliver a picture perfect cake.

or a tasting where she brought us three different slices to try based on the flavor preferences we sent in beforehand. After tasting them all, she mentioned that she was working on something new and asked if we might like to try that too. We were so grateful, as that helped us land on our final choice, which was a lemon scented cake with layers of passion fruit curd and raspberry filling (a truly personalized creation). When it came time to coordinating with our florist to dress the cake, Nicolle was more than happy to be flexible and ensure that our cake looked perfect. After having looked at a number of bakeries, A Simple Cake is one of the best values with the tastiest outcome. Thanks, A Simple Cake!

for our wedding and it was just like how we imagined! The process was clear and professional. We visited the kitchen and had a tasting session and it was a blast. :) We ended up ordering a three-tier wedding cake in Devil's food chocolate with layers of white chocolate cream filling with "Rustic Linear Ruffle" design. Our guests raved about the cake and we also loved it! The cake looked exactly like the sample photo. Thank you so much, Nicolle!

thin layer of vanilla fondant was nothing short of perfection! We loved testing the sample cake in advance (took it to a dinner party and everyone was thrilled!) and the delivery and execution of our cake on the day of the event was flawless, beautiful, and delicious. Our florist adorned the cake with fresh flowers with coordination and guidance from Nicolle. Thank you!

on having a cake to cut, so I started looking for vendors... and let me just say, NYC-area prices are ridiculous. I eventually decided on A Simple Cake and another vendor to taste, and despite being about half the price of the other vendor, A Simple Cake's was much better, and a simpler, lighter cake. Day of, the cake was just as good as it was during the tasting (we got the red velvet with buttercream), with our guests telling us it was the best wedding cake they'd had. Nicolle from A Simple Cake was also very easy to work with and responsive. I'd highly recommend working with her and A Simple Cake.

e butter cream. Nicolle was a pleasure to work with- very accommodating, professional, and thoughtful. I am so glad to have discovered Nicolle as I look forward to more cakes in the future!

just as good as the pictures. I am a big foodie, and I don't want my cake to be overwhelmingly sweet. Lauren and Nicolle recommended several flavors during the tasting based on my preference, and I was able to pick a flavor on the spot. They are also fun to work with! They have great passion for their work and explained the whole process in detail. They were very responsive to my e-mails and were willing to accommodate my requests. Last but not least, their website is super user-friendly, and I learned a lot about wedding cakes from the website. Highly recommend!!!

her slogen - her cake is good looking, delicious and same time at an offordable price! Many people telling me how delicious the cake is! Cuz in my opinion, a wedding cake is just for good looking, it can never get tasty but Lauren made both happen! In the same time, I was asking for a really short time change, like 1 week before my wedding. I saw a pic online with flowers and leaf design, I tried to ask her if she can design that, it turns out to be really pretty! I wish I could attach image here to show everyone! Thank you Lauren!

nd helping us conceptualize a cake with photos and sketches to delivering flawlessly on the wedding day, Lauren exceeded our every expectation, and we wish all our vendors were so reliable! We had the scented lemon cake with strawberry vanilla bean buttercream filling, one of the best cakes we've ever had, and our guests loved it. Can't recommend Lauren enough!

coffee infused pound cake with hazelnut praline mousse...OMG amazing! We had multiple guests tell us it was the best wedding cake they have ever tasted.

a cake that was so beautiful (it felt like we ought not to cut it) and so wonderfully delectably delicious (yes, we did make the right choice and did cut it!), and, most of all, for the lovely and sunny attitude with which Lauren did it all!

we were sad not to have ordered extra to have more left over! But we plan to order a small one for our one year anniversary, it was that good. The people we worked with at A Simple Cake were professional and responsive, and the cake was delivered in perfect condition.

s of the fillings and I loved the espresso cake that was soaked in real espresso, which was really different. I met with several other bakers and her price and the cake were the best by far.

made it so easy!!!! Love the website, the staff, the cakes.....it was all amazing!

king with her. Emails and phone calls promptly responded to, tasting a breeze, and day-of delivery a non-issue! We had a three tier buttercream, golden yellow cake, with tri-berry filling and it was delicious. They have their own buttercream recipe and it definitely tastes that way without the weird grainy, sugary or oily feeling that you get from so many weddings cakes. We didn't want to spend a small fortune on the cake, but obviously wanted something delicious and pretty and A Simple Cake fit the bill perfectly. They had such wonderful designs to choose from and we settled on the Ruffles, which is one of their new designs and so divine! There are a few pictures of it on our wedding photographers blog here http://www.michellelange.com/blog/2013/04/01/wed-clare-john-new-leaf-restaurant-fort-tryon-park/ I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to any of my friends not only for a wedding but for any special occasion!

e had they not been recommended by our reception site. We had our tasting and tried a number of different cakes and filings, as well as the fondant. Everything tasted amazing and we wound up picking an all chocolate cake. Picking the exterior design was also difficult because there were so many pretty options. When we finally made our choices, submitting them on the website was very easy and user-friendly. Lauren was a wealth of information during our tasting, and followed up promptly when she said she would. When the big day came, our cake looked beautiful and tasted even better than I remembered. It was a pleasure working with A Simple Cake and the results were delicious!
