If I could give ten stars, I would! We ordered an 8" cake for a very small wedding, beach themed, almond cake with almond butter cream frosting. Absolutely gorgeous, and the texture and flavor had our tongues beating our brains out!!! We have just a couple of pieces left after one week, and it is still as moist as when we cut into it!!! I can't recommend Almost Heaven and Melinda highly enough!!! If you are looking for quality, flavor and beauty for your cake, LOOK NO FURTHER!!!! 😋😍🥰❤️
Delicious! That is the best word to describe our cake and cupcakes from Almost Heaven! We chose their package with a small cutting cake and 50 cupcakes. The cutting cake was so light and delicious, it was like I would imagine eating a cloud would be! The cupcakes had a perfect balance of frosting to cake. The flavors were so good. Melinda was easy to work with and has a great process in place for providing all the details for your order. I appreciate a streamlined process when planning something as important as a cake from out of town. Very happy with our experience.
The most delicious cake and cupcakes. Our guests were raving about them.
Choosing Almost heaven to make our wedding cake and cupcakes was an absolute delight from start to finish. From the initial consultation with Melinda, to when we took our first bite of our delicious cake and cupcakes, every aspect of the experience was nothing short of perfection! They tasted as good as they looked, and she was so sweet and accommodating to work us in last minute- if you are looking for a bakery in the OBX don’t look any further!
Melinda and Almost Heaven were amazing. She created the most beautiful little 6-inch wedding cake for our massive outdoor celebration on the Outer Banks at Whalehead. And it accompanied and an incredibly delicious array of tiny desserts for all our guests! We had flavored cookies, mini cupcakes, mini key lime pies and more. My only regret is not eating more dessert because I was busy dancing with my husband :) We enjoyed what remained of our wedding cake the following week with my brother and sister-in-law, and it was amazing. Highly recommend, and Melinda was wonderful to work with throughout the whole process. Delivery and setup went great too - the dessert tables looked beautiful in the tent. Thank you, Almost Heaven!!!
We had a small cake and cupcakes for the guest decorated in the Beach theme. The bakery did a very nice job and tasted good. Frosting was not very sweet which is how we like it. Could tell everything was made that morning.
Our wedding day was elevated to a whole new level of sweetness thanks to Almost Heaven Bakery! The two-tier wedding cake stole the spotlight with its heavenly vanilla layers and sumptuous Bavarian cream filling – an absolute masterpiece that left our guests in awe.
The chocolate cupcakes, adorned with Kahlua mousse, were a delight for chocolate lovers, and the lemon cupcakes with lemon custard were nothing short of AMAZING! Each bite was a burst of flavor that had everyone raving.
Almost Heaven Bakery not only crafted delectable treats but also created edible works of art. The attention to detail and commitment to quality were evident in every aspect. Our heartfelt thanks to Almost Heaven Bakery for making our wedding desserts and making our day sweeter than we could have ever imagined!
Wonderful team to work with and absolutely delicious spread of cake and goodies!! Our guests loved every bite! THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF OUR SPECIAL DAY!
Excellent wedding cake and cupcakes!
Ordered our wedding cake from them and it turned out amazing! Gave them an idea of what we wanted and it was perfect and tasted so good.
Melinda and her daughter are the sweetest mother daughter duo and made the absolutely best desserts for our wedding. Our guests kept saying how they were the best cupcakes they had ever tasted. We loved the variety we could choose from and mix n match for our wedding. We did a variety of 3 different cupcakes, chocolate covered strawberries, and some other desserts. Melinda also made us a delicious 6" cutting cake for just us - it was so delicious we cannot wait to eat it on our one year anniversary! :) Thank you Melinda for the best experience for us and our guests. Apologies that this review is so late :) - Marissa & Jeff (10.28.22)
Almost Heaven is amazing! We first met them at the 2022 OBX wedding expo - we sampled their cake at their booth and we instantly booked right then and there! I am not a huge “cake person” but their cake is incredible!!! They also have so many other amazing desserts that we had like dessert cups & mini pies so our guests had a variety!
I would 100% recommend booking Almost Heaven Bakery! We booked Melinda and her team to make our wedding cake and cupcakes. I am still blown away at how beautiful it was! The cake was delicious and all of our guests loved it! My only regret is that I didnt order more! I cant wait to eat a slice of the cake on our anniversary! 💓 You guys are incredible! Thank you so so much for making my vision come to life!
Melinda was the sweetest and best baker for our wedding! She had the best flavors and designs for what we were looking for! We wanted a grazing table, so she provided the cake for us to cut and eat and save. When we went to her shop, she had the best taste test put together. She was not only reasonably priced with her amazing flavor selection, she also offered us more to add to our taste test without charge! Melinda also is a great communicator and responding to emails in a timely manner. Melinda makes sure everything is done accurately and delivers.
Absolutely amazing! Everyone was talking about how yummy our cake was and it was a beautiful cake!
By far the best wedding cake I have ever tasted and it was gorgeous too! They did exactly what I asked for. It was perfect. Highly recommend!!
We ordered our cake from Almost Heaven Bakery and could not have been happier! We were able to do a tasting and ordered the wedding white (almond) cake with raspberry filling. We did not get to try this exact pairing at the tasting but the look on my face in our cake sharing photo says it all- it was honestly the best cake I have ever had!
We are hoping to be back in the OBX for our one year anniversary to order another cake!
We had the opportunity to try some of her cupcakes prior to our engagement and knew we had to have her make our wedding cake. She made us an absolutely gorgeous geode style cutting cake and delicious cupcakes to go with it. Our guests were floored with how beautiful, unique and delicious the cake and cupcakes were. I highly recommend Almost Heaven Bakery to anyone in the OBX for any occasion!
Almost heaven made my wedding cake vision perfectly! Everyone loved the cake and cupcakes delish!! My husband ate our cake 5 days later and was still loving it lol.
Almost Heaven Bakery saved us when we had to get out of a bad contract with another vendor. Our day-of coordinator (Heather Events) recommended her friend and fellow vendor, Melinda. Melinda and her daughter are so passionate about what they do. When we met with her, she was still working full-time and pursuing this passion on the side. I wish them every success because the cake was amazing.
They were so organized and spent a long time with us to plan out every detail. We hadn't thought much about the cake so they helped us plan out our vision. We had a 6 inch cutting cake and 125 cupcakes for 110 guests - they looked absolutely gorgeous but tasted even better.
The only downside - we should have ordered way more cupcakes for our guests because they were gone within a few minutes. Everyone thought they tasted amazing, and I saw people go back for a third or fourth cupcake (which is why we ran out so soon). We were still hearing about these cupcakes for weeks after the wedding. Today is our one year anniversary and we had the defrosted cake - and it still tastes great!
I used Almost Heaven Bakery for my wedding back in August 2018. I still wake up from drooling over their delicious cakes and confections on a regular basis. We met Melinda at a bridal show in Pirates Cove, that's when I tried my first taste of key lime cake. Oh my goodness, SO FREAKING GOOD! We signed a check then and there and set a date for a tasting/planning appointment. At this appointment, Melinda and her daughter were so easy and fun to talk to. It was honestly one of the most fun days I had in planning my wedding. We went with key lime cake in two tiers, and they helped us choose chocolate and almond for the other two layers (gotta please the less adventurous guests). Our cake looked absolutely beautiful, tasted amazing, and I couldn't ask for anything more. Except I did. One year later I asked Melanie if she would be able to make me an identical cake topper for our first wedding anniversary. I'm not embarrassed at all to say my husband and I shared this cake with no one. If you are a bride to be, looking for a beautiful delicious cake, from a woman who will put you at ease faster than you can eat a chocolate covered cherry, this is the place for you.
Melinda is amazing and her desserts are fantastic! She made the cake for our engagement so there was no question on who we wanted to make desserts for our wedding. She made my dessert vision come to life- I wish I could post pictures of how amazing these desserts were. We had custom cookies in the shape of our pups (made to look like silhouette wedding cookies) and a few naked cakes. My florist left a few extra tropical blooms the day of and during the dessert setup, Melinda added them to the main cake. It was gorgeous. Everything was stunning and everyone raved about the desserts. Highly, highly recommend Almost Heaven Bakery!!!
Melinda is amazing! It was so easy to work with her, and the cupcakes were so good. We ordered a bunch of extra cupcakes and they were gone by the next day. We used her recommendations for flavors, and they were spot on. We will definitely be getting more cakes from her in the future!
They were so amazing and agreeable to work with! The cupcakes and cake were an absolute hit at our wedding. Melinda came all the way to Ocracoke to deliver our order and assembled the cupcakes when she arrived so they wouldn’t melt on the way. Can’t say enough good things about her or her cupcakes and cakes!
Melinda did the wedding cake for my daughter's wedding. A lemon flavored "naked" 3 tier cake decorated with greenery & cranberries to accent the weddings rustic them. Better than being beautiful the cake was moist, flavorful, and so so delicious. We could not have chosen a better bakery. On top of that they delivered and set it up! Perfect cake for a perfect day! Thank you Melinda!
