Amaru Confections

akes and a 2-tier cake) at their recommendation, and ended up having over 200 mini cupcakes go to waste. I would have appreciated them not pushing us towards having such a huge amount of dessert - I had no idea how much it would be! Additionally, we had asked our florist to bring in flowers for the cake and had them waiting on the cake table for the delivery, as noted to Amaru when we ordered the cake. They delivered it to the kitchen and did not add the flowers, insisting that the cake was not meant to have flowers! Thankfully, our caterers stepped in and decorated it for us last minute. Finally, if you are going with Amaru because of dietary restrictions, double and triple check when you go to your tasting that they prepared the correct samples for you - I have a very severe dairy allergy and they had put regular cupcakes in front of us instead of the vegan version even though it was marked in our reservation very clearly. In summary, the cake tasted good, but the service wasn't great. If you have dietary restrictions, double check everything. I would recommend them to people who can't eat regular cake (there are no other options) but would encourage others to look elsewhere.

k with. Their cupcakes are DELICIOUS!!!

As sliders. For or main cake we did gluten free vanilla on the outside and chocolate on the inside. The cake wasn’t easy to cut but everything turned out perfect thank you!!

t. It totally fit within my theme and tasted amazing! Negatives: The day of our tasting, they prepared all non-vegan options for us to try. When they realized their mistake, they had nothing available for us to try. Even though we asked for all vegan cupcakes/cake, I noticed 6 weeks before my wedding, that the frosting on all the cupcakes and the cake were not vegan. Thankfully, I noticed early enough that we were able to get it fixed. They could work on their customer service skills.

ecause I knew they could work with all of those special requests. The cupcakes are so delicious! Gluten-free and vegan baking has come a long way, the cupcakes weren't flaky at all. I'm really glad they had the mini cupcakes options, it kept guests feeling like they could have a nice piece of cake without feeling overloaded or over-sweetened.

et I have from the wedding was not eating more cake! Highly recommend.

. Easy, priced competitively and most importantly, delicious!

big day. We're gamers, so we asked for meeples: one black and one blue. Since we know that's a unique request, we also included two different pictures to ensure that there were no misunderstandings of what we wanted. I also received verbal confirmation over the phone that the pictures were received and it was understood what we wanted. The day of the wedding, we received *stars*, not meeples for our cake toppers. The designer stated that that's what they saw when they looked at the pictures. Our wedding planner told the person who delivered it that that was not correct and that they needed to fix it. They took the stars back and did a quick hack job of doing their best to make them look like meeples. Granted, they *did* look like meeples when they got back, but it was clear the poor cake toppers had suffered. I received no apology for the mix-up via email while on my honeymoon, so I called when I got back. I was told that they didn't believe they had done anything wrong and in fact, that they should be praised for attempting to fix the cake toppers instead of just ignoring it. They said the designer did their best based on the pictures received and that it was a shock I was asking for any form of refund. I was offered half of the cake topper cost back in refund because of my dissatisfaction, but was refused a full refund due to the belief that Amaru was in no way wrong. In a nutshell: If you want tasty cake with no muss or fuss? Go to them. If you want anything specialized? Steer very clear.

es, and quickly came to a decision! They drew out a sketch of the cake for us showing exactly how it would look (and it seriously was EXACT in the final product!). We also had a great time cake tasting (who wouldn't). Choosing the flavors was incredibly difficult, but only because they had so many delicious flavors to choose from! We had a 300-person invite list... so at the time, we wanted to make choices that we thought would appeal to the greatest number of people. We ended up going with 3 different flavors for our 4-tier cake and side sheet cakes: Guinness Chocolate Cake with Irish Cream frosting; Lemon Cake with Huckleberry Cream frosting; and White vanilla cake with Raspberry puree filling. It was ah-mazing. I fully intend to keep going back to Amaru for their cupcakes and for any other special events where a cake is due!

e, so we bought enough cake to serve 350 just in case. That meant a 5-tier cake served 140, and then two side cakes to cover everyone else. Unfortunately at the wedding, we somehow served everyone with 1 and a half side cakes. We didn't even cut into the main 5 tiered cake and had to take it home at the end of the night! The servers weren't cutting super small slices either. If you're ordering from Amaru just keep in mind they might be overestimating serving sizes.

hey come up with are amazing! Salted caramel chocolate, stout chocolate with buttercream frosting, and pink champagne are beyond words!

chocolate with sea-salt caramel icing. All of the cakes had buttercream frosting and were amazing. She created the perfect decoration for our fall theme and had cascading leaves falling down the cake! AHH! I couldn't have planned it better myself! The cake was perfect and not even the tiniest bit dry! We got SO many compliments! :)

for a four tier cake.

rofessional and easy to work with. We didn't want our cake to melt in the July heat and they worked with us to time the drop off so it wouldn't melt. They were great!

could make me what I wanted. Even though they were booked, they said they could meet my requests. They were PHENOMENAL!!!!!!!! My cake was better than I had anticipated! The presentation was awesome, price was perfect, and the taste was to DIE FOR! Hands down, best ever!!!!!!!

e brown, pink, yellow and red cupcake wrappers.

old him exactly what I wanted and how I wanted it and he didn't question me one bit. The day of my wedding I was in awe of how much they made my dream wedding cake a reality. And everyone loved how the icing and cake tasted, which was divine. I hope to have more of their cake ASAP and will be coming back for smaller cakes for every anniversary we have, it's already a future tradition in the making :)

eally the best idea we had. It was so easy to set up an appointment and figure out everything we wanted and we got enough cake to feed 100 guests for only $300 and that was including delivery! The flavors were great, the convenience was great, and the cake was amazing!

he Guinness Chocolate Grooms Cake with Salted Caramel filling was a huge hit. We ordered way more cake than we had guests and we barely had any left overs. It was that good! Our wedding cake was gorgeous, just like the picture we discussed. Our initials were piped on fondant dots, the color of the piping was a little off, so that's why I didn't give them a perfect 5 stars. Other than that our two tier mini wedding cake was gorgeous. Great work with butter cream & fondant, the look of the cake was flawless. The cakes were boards that did not fit the cake stands we had, but I don't blame them for that... That was my communication error. It did not effect our special day, and the cakes & cupcakes by Amaru looked lovely on our cake table. The customer service offered by Amaru is excellent, far superior to another popular vendor who I also contacted regarding our wedding cake. I added the groom's cake 1 week prior to the wedding, and their response was no problem. They are very easy to work with. I would definitely recommend Amaru for any of your cake & cupcake needs.

butter cream frosting was to-die for and much better than the traditional too-sugary wedding cake frosting. My only complaint was that the colors on our cake were not what I asked for. In hindsight, I should have double-checked to make sure we were on the same page. Overall, the taste was more important and our cake was a BIG hit!

vor and so moist! Highly recommend them!

n the cake and they do not have the equipment on site to do this and we had to supply this ourselves from another vendor.

y caketopper on top of the cake, that i had coustom made the just sat it next to the cake and piled ugly flowers on top of it. They didn't use the ribbon i had bought for the bottom of the tiers of my cake, and they didn't give it back wither. it was money definityly well wasted. and they were way to exspenzive my 4 tier cake was 600 and it was very basic compared to alot of cakes

They charged us be serving not by flavor, so we ending up having 6 different cake/filling flavor combos. Loved them, great service!

really was indescribable. It was moist, with creamy filling, and the frosting was smooth with a great texture. Her customer service was fabulous.

n in the future!

e edible rhinestones, and instead they did little buttons of frosting...so my all white cake looked a little plain...when it wasn't supposed to. but it did taste like heaven. and i guess that's what guests will remember.

ne of our guest knew they were eating gluten free. They were fantastic!!!!

ipped buttercream frosting she used!

o! I was told one of the sheet cakes was little dry and a little over-cooked. I would recommend Amaru though.
