Dealing with Meredith was such an amazing experience, from beginning to end i can't say enough about how much this was worth, honestly more than a 5-star review. Literally from going to the testing and going home with all the different flavors to on my wedding day and hearing how many people said it was the best wedding cake they've ever had. No surprise to say that there were no leftovers at all after the wedding was over. Make sure you try the carrot cake, it was delicious.
Meredith and team designed our dream cake! The process couldn’t be easier and the tasting box was a fun way to choose our cake/filling flavors. Our cake was gorgeous and just like the pinterest pictures with our specific touches. Meredith even matched the shade of purple for the bridesmaids dresses with the sugar flowers. It was also nice to have different flavors for the different tiers for guests to choose. Another huge plus was the gluten free/dairy free individual cupcakes for guests based on their dietary restrictions which was soooo nice. Another stand out factor is the option for a first anniversary cake instead of freezing the top tier per tradition. Cannot recommend Artisan enough!
As soon as we picked up the wedding cake tasting kit from Artisan, we knew we'd have to go with them. Every sample bite of cake and frosting made it harder to decide what combination we wanted -- they're ALL delicious and you can't go wrong! We ended up choosing a champagne cake with raspberry filling, and Meredith really impressed us with all her different design concepts inspired by our wedding color palette and aesthetics. The result was a cake that everyone loved -- one friend who's a huge dessert fanatic called it the best wedding cake he'd ever tasted, and we agree! Our only regret from the wedding day is not being able to eat more of it, but as a lovely final touch, Meredith gave us the option of freezing a piece or a gift card for her to make us a new piece the next time we visit town. We can't wait to have it again!
Meredith was so awesome and easy to work with and our cake came out exactly the way we wanted it!
Meredith was the sweetest person ever! Whenever we talked to her on the phone, it really felt like she cared about us and was genuinely excited for us as an engaged couple. Her wedding cake tasting box was incredible. It included a little booklet with instructions and paper to take notes on. We drove to our favorite beach and ate each flavor until we were stuffed! On our wedding day, our cake was incredibly beautiful. Meredith's sketch of it that we approved just absolutely came to life and we were in awe. It was also DELICIOUS and all our guests were SO happy with it! Meredith even made individual cupcakes for all our guests with dietary restrictions - multiple guests came up to us telling us how much they appreciated that.
Meredith and her team were beyond amazing! Back in April, my husband and I were planning our wedding in MA but we’re located in NC. NO ONE wanted to make the cake of our dreams until I came across Artisan Bake Shop. They made such a stunning cake and macaron tower for us plus the taste of everything was beyond amazing!!! On top of making our dream cake, they made individual cupcakes for every child that attended and anyone with allergies. Plus they included our anniversary cake which made it back safely to NC. I couldn’t recommend a more friendly, accommodating staff!
We had a wonderful experience with Artisan Bake Shop and Meredith for our wedding this past May and would highly recommend them!! My sister also used them for her wedding the year before and all the desserts were a big hit at both weddings. We had a small cutting cake and a dessert table, and everything was absolutely delicious and looked beautiful too. Meredith asked us which guests had allergies prior to the wedding and made specialized desserts that were delivered to their tables. Before the wedding we ordered tasting boxes for the cake and desserts, it was fun to try everything and pick our favorites for the wedding! We can’t wait for our anniversary cake next year!
M eredith was so great to work with for our June 2024 wedding! We booked 8 months prior to our event after trying all the delicious goodies in the tasting box. Our final design meeting a few months before the wedding was easy and we got some free leftover treats to take home.
The dessert table was beautiful and guests raved anout it! At least two people said they were the best chocolate chip cookies they’ve ever had. My personal favorite was the key lime cups. My husband and I fed each other cake pops instead of cutting a cake. I loved that we could rent the display stands for a small fee so it was one less decor thing to think about, and return was easy as well.
Artisan Bake Shop made my cutting cake and cupcakes for my wedding and everything was amazing! Meredith was very organized, professional and easy to work with. The cake and cupcakes were beautiful and delicious and our guests are still raving about them! Thank you Meredith and Tabitha! I highly highly recommend Artisan Bake Shop for any occasion!
Meredith and her team at Artisan Bakeshop are top notch professionals from start to finish. The quality of her cakes and cupcakes is second to none- our guests could not stop talking about how delicious dessert was! Meredith worked with me to create a custom dessert option that came out better than I could have hoped for and really made our wedding dessert table extra special. She was communicative through the whole process and answered all my questions. I would highly reccomend!
Meredith and the entire team at Artisan Bakery are amazing! They were extremely organized and helpful in throughout the process of ordering our wedding cake. The cake was absolutely delicious and we received compliments from guests for weeks after our wedding! Can’t wait for our 1 year anniversary cake.
We do not have enough good things to say about Meredith and her team at the Artisan Bake Shop. Our cake testing was by far one of the best experiences of our wedding planning process. Never mind how delicious and beautiful our cake, desserts, and displays were! This bakeshop is outstanding at what they do! 100% recommend!!!
We cannot thank Artisan Bake Shop enough for the amazing wedding cake and dessert bar at our perfect coastal wedding. We live in Buzzards Bay and frequent the shop for celebration cakes, party treats and brunch items. Everything is always so fresh and absolutely delicious! We knew right away we needed to use Artisan for our wedding dessert. Meredith was wonderful to work with start to finish. I was able to share images of inspiration and details about our day. We sampled the most delicious cake combinations and although it was a difficult decision, we picked our favorite combo, as well as Key Lime mini pies, classic whoopie pies and cider donuts (fall wedding). I also love and appreciate a woman run business, as well as a organized business owner. Meredith is so organized! Every detail is clearly laid out for you. She and Tabitha even set everything up that day of and it was perfect! Our guests loved it and we love it! Thank you for making our wedding day so special. We cannot wait for our mini anniversary cake next year!
We are so glad we chose Artisan Bake Shop to design our wedding cake! Meredith was a dream to work with, and stayed in touch with us throughout the months leading up to our big day. During our tasting and consultation, she was warm and welcoming, and really listened to what we were looking for to try to perfectly match our vision. She even had an elegant silver plateau stand that was exactly what I had been looking for! Another thing I loved about working with Meredith was that she was very conscious of our guest’s’ dietary restrictions. She was thoughtful enough to offer to make individual cupcakes for anyone who couldn’t eat our other desserts.
To fit our rustic-elegant theme, we chose a lemon cake with berry jam filling that made even this chocolate-lover’s mouth water! My husband, who prefers cookies to cake, couldn’t stop talking about it either! We are looking forward to having it again on our anniversary and making it a yearly tradition!
We are beyond happy with artisan bake shop. Meredith was absolutely amazing. The wedding cake itself was not only gorgeous but delicious and every loved it. The cake was soooo good and affordable as well! The tasting was intimate and fun! So much amazing flavors to choose from. There was even a gluten free slice of cake made for a family member with celiac which was so great and helped everyone at the wedding feel included and gave everyone the perfect sugar high for the dance floor!!
We used Artisan Bake Shop for our wedding shower & wedding. For our wedding shower, Meredith & her team whipped together a cake in a weeks notice. You never would’ve known, because the details of the cake were so beautiful. It tasted even more amazing!
For our wedding we did a 2 tier cake, kitchen cake & multiple cupcakes options. Everything was to die for! The cake absolutely exceeded my expectations. Meredith & her team brought my vision to life & it was beautiful beyond words. I can’t thank them enough for helping to make our day so perfect. We can’t wait to work with them again!! 🤍🤍
We could not have made a better choice. The cake was beautiful and delicious and everyone loved the dessert bar. There were so many great choices but Meredith was so helpful and made it easy to figure out. You'll have a sugar high after your tasting. That was lots of fun too!
We had our wedding cake made by Artisan Bake Shop and could not be happier with our decision. Everyone loved it and it was so beautiful. It was exactly what we wanted and they were incredible to work with!
Meredith at Artisan Bake Shop is so incredibly talented! Our whole experience working with her was great. We had a vision for how we wanted our wedding cake to look, and she was able to sketch it on paper and make it a reality. Our three-tier wedding cake and cupcakes were absolutely beautiful, and delicious too! She even accommodated our last minute request for baklava, which was also amazing. We can't wait for our next opportunity to order a cake from Meredith!
I don’t even know where to begin with how amazing Meredith’s cakes are and our wedding cake was an absolute hit and I still am dreaming about it four months later.
To start, Meredith is so detail oriented from the first time you meet her to go for your tasting. She spent so much time with us talking about our vision and literally sitting there sketching out our dream cake as we did our tasting. She came up with the most amazing design that I could have ever imagined. The flavors of her cakes and fillings are out of this world and it makes it so hard to choose, but you can’t go wrong with anything from her.
We received so many compliments are our wedding on how this was the best wedding cake anyone has ever had. We also had cupcakes from Meredith at my bridal shower and got many of the same compliments there!
I highly highly highly recommend going with Meredith for your wedding cake. It will be the easiest decision, and one of the best decisions, that you make. You will have peace of mind knowing she has everything handled from a coordination and detail perspective and you will have one of the most amazing cakes you’ve ever had.
Our cake was PHENOMENAL and SO beautiful! We have gotten many desserts from Artisan in the past and this just topped it off. We never hesitate when thinking of where we want to go to get a dessert for a special occasion because we know that Artisan will always exceed our expectations. We had the chocolate cake with marshmallow filling and a buttercream frosting for one option, and a vanilla cake with strawberry puree filling and buttercream frosting as a second option and they were just incredible. If you're trying to decide if you should go with Artisan for your wedding cake, wedding dessert, or any dessert in general, DO IT! You won't be disappointed.
Meredith at Artisan Bake Shop is amazing! I am a huge dessert fan and the cake tasting was something I was very excited about for our wedding. I was worried I wouldn't find many gluten free options but Artisan Bake Shop was unbelievably accommodating from the very beginning. We had the absolute best experience tasting with Meredith and I couldn't believe how many gluten free options you made for me and how amazing all of the flavors were (my family raved about the gluten-filled flavors too). Meredith is so warm and welcoming and immediately understood our vision for the day. She made it easy to design our cake and select our flavors and really listened to all of our ideas and needs.
For our wedding the desserts came out amazing (in both taste and look) and our guests raved about them. Artisan Bake Shop was so accommodating with all of our special dietary needs (especially my own!) and our gluten and dairy free guests were so thrilled that they got their own special treats.
Our cutting cake was stunning and we literally brought it with us on our minimoon to keep enjoying it all week. We already can't wait to come back for our anniversary cake next year and hopefully find many more opportunities to involve these treats in our future celebrations!
My Fiance and I do not like cake. Our idea for our wedding cake was to have a cookie buffet and some how keep with our theme of Enchanted Forest/Fantasy like.
Well Meredith took our idea and completely rocked it!
She threw a unique twist on it and brought it to life.
We had a cookie cake which consisted of layers of chocolate chip cookie, whipped cream, and cookie dough cream which we were still able to cut and enjoy.
Aside from that she was able to set up a beautiful display with flowers and tree trunk stands with 5 different flavors of cookies and guests were able to go up to our buffet and grab whichever cookie they desired.
I will highly recommend Meredith to any couple that is getting married within her area, She was just absolutely amazing from beginning to end she was so thorough and accommodating during our meeting. She even drew us up distinct color coordinated diagrams so we were able to visualize our design before the big day.
We loved her and had 0 stress or issues!!
All I can say is YUM!! If you're even on the fence of a baker to go with, going to a tasting with Artisan Bake Shop will help you make up your mind. My husband is not really into sweets, especially cake, so I was thinking if he didn't really like anything at our tasting, maybe we'd go with another dessert option. But wow! We were both blown away with the number of cake, frosting, and filling flavors available. The amount provided at the tasting was so generous (and they didn't mind my sister attending too), and it was so difficult to choose a favorite, even for my husband.
We ended up ordering three cakes, all with different flavors, and our guests loved them! Not only were the cakes beautiful (we went with the "semi-naked" cake style), but even the non-dairy chocolate that we ordered was just as delicious as the normal chocolate flavor we tried at our tasting. We can't wait for our 1st year anniversary to have more cake, but we'll have to make the tough decision on which flavor to order! We highly recommend Artisan Bake Shop (even my not-usually-cake-loving husband)!
The cake and dessert bar was absolutely perfect! Everything was incredibly delicious and stunning to look at. We didn’t have to lift a finger- everything was taken care of and we just got to enjoy the amazing sweets!!
we first had Meredith's cake at one of our good friends weddings (lemon curd, raspberry, and coconut I believe) it was AMAZING and arguably one of the best cakes I've ever had. I looked and my boyfriend and said we're definitely getting a cake from here for our wedding. Fast forward 9 months and we were at our own cake tasting with Meredith. I didnt try 1 flavor of cake, filling, or frosting I didnt like. She sketches a bunch of pictures for you to choose from and is just so organized she puts your mind at ease. We ended up picking marble cake with an almond filling which was amazing but I ended up chickening out in case of nut allergies at the wedding (I didnt want ER trips!) we didnt even try the oreo filling at the tasting but I has her switch it to that because I knew there was no way it wouldnt be delicious and all my guests raved about it. Initially, too, we were supposed to have 5 layers but I had to cut back to 4 cause 5 was just too much cake for my guest count and the cake was still MASSIVE and beautiful. Thank you Meredith!
After our initial cake tasting for our wedding we were not only sold on the wedding desserts but also for my bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, and all future parties we will ever have! Artisans desserts are all incredible. For the wedding we opted for assorted cupcakes and mousse shots. The chocolate and lemon mousse shots are both to die for. Meredith was so easy to work with, very responsive to emails and calls, knowledgeable about food allergies (we had nut allergies and gluten free guests), and her desserts are out of this world delicious. Thank you for everything Meredith and artisan bake shop!!!!
I can't say enough about Meredith and the staff at Artisan Bake Shop. Because I have celiac, we decided that we would do cupcakes instead of a wedding cake for our wedding. Meredith hands down makes the best gluten free baked goods I have ever had. Our guests couldn't tell the difference between the GF and regular cupcakes. From the time we made the appt for a cake testing till the day of the wedding, Meredith was always available for recommendations or any stupid question we had. The hardest part of our cake testing was deciding what flavor cupcakes to have at the wedding. We ended up having five different flavors and they were all a hit (Apply Spice cake with caramel filling and vanilla buttercream was my fav!!!!!!).
Since our cake testing over a year ago, Artisan is our go to for baked good. They've done every birthday cake, cupcakes for get togethers, and the desserts for our rehearsal dinner (apple and blueberry crisp... to die for!!!). Don't hesitate, give Artisan a call for a cake testing. They will NOT disappoint!!!!
I can’t praise Meredith and the staff at Artisan Bake Shop enough. I had a vision for a cupcake bar at my wedding reception and they worked with me extensively to bring that to life. It was nearly impossible to narrow it down to four flavors during the tasting, since everything was exquisite. The day of the wedding, everything looked as I had envisioned it. Our guests wouldn’t stop talking about how delicious everything was. Thank you so much!
Artisan did a beautiful job on our dessert bar! The set up was amazing and the desserts (apple pie, apple cider doughnuts with caramel sauce, peach cobbler, blueberry crisp, and gluten free chocolate mousse) were DELICIOUS. Everyone complimented us on our desserts and how pretty everything looked!
Meredith and her team are amazing!! Meredith put together a beautiful desert bar and slicing cake for our wedding down the Cape at the Pelham House Resort.
I knew we would book with Artisan Bake Shop as soon as we began our tasting. The tasting was amazing – everything was delicious and presented beautifully. Meredith was extremely patient and accommodating and helped us to put together a wide selection of deserts; she even drew us different options for a custom-designed slicing cake. She is extremely organized and had tons of pictures for us to look at; she was also easy to contact if any questions came up.
The day of our wedding Meredith came to our venue and personally set up the desert bar to make sure it looked just the way we had envisioned. It looked amazing and everything was delicious – everyone was saying how wonderful it was. We can’t wait to use our gift card Meredith gave us for our 1-year anniversary. I highly recommend booking Artisan Bake Shop for your wedding!
Meredith was very easy to work with when designing our wedding cake. The wedding cake and cake table were decorated beautifully. Many guests told us how delicious the cake was. Thank you for the beautiful wedding cakes that tasted and looked amazing. We will continue to use Artisan Bakeshop as our cake bakery in the future.
Meredith and her team are the best! You can tell that Meredith absolutely loves what she does. Once I met Meredith, I knew that we had to book her for our wedding. She is so professional and so friendly. During the cake tasting, we sat with her and told her our vision and looked through samples. She sat there and hand drew so many designs for us, I was SO impressed. After picking one of her designs, I was so excited to see it play out in real life. The cake looked beautiful and most importantly, it tasted delicious! We picked 2 flavors and our guests kept coming up to us asking what each was and saying how they loved them both. I am so happy we picked Meredith and the Artisan Bake Shop team. My husband and I are so excited to go back for our anniversary.
Our wedding cake was delicious and beautifully designed. Meredith and her staff did an amazing job! We were from out of state and it was very easy to communicate via email and phone calls. They even delivered the cake to the reception for us at an affordable price.
Meredith and her team were truly a pleasure to work with and - honestly - they bake the BEST goodies on the Cape! We had a wedding cake and a gorgeous dessert bar for our December wedding on the Cape, and our guests kept on coming back for more cake pops and cookies! People were raving about the deliciousness of it all. If you are looking for an awesome wedding cake or dessert stand, look no further than Artisan Bake Shop!
Artisan Bakery was amazing to work with! They did such an amazing job on our wedding cupcakes. Our guests loved the cupcakes and still talk about how amazing they were! I can't wait to use them again for upcoming events!
Six weeks after our wedding I’m still daydream daily about the fabulous desserts that Meredith and her team whipped up for our wedding. We did a dessert bar with cookies, bars, mini pies and pudding shooters with a two-tiered blueberry citrus wedding cake as the centerpiece—everything was beyond amazing. In addition to the desserts being both delicious and beautiful, and Meredith being so easy to work with, there were a few little details that made the experience all the more special. We had several gluten free people at the wedding and Meredith requested their names and table numbers in advance so she could put together personal boxes for each of them with items from the table that were gluten free, in some cases even altering the recipe slightly if it was an individual shooter. She also made up a box of desserts for my husband and I to take home at the end of the night (and devour the next day) and for the first anniversary she provides a gift card to use for a new cake in lieu of needing to freeze yours for a year. Thank you so much, Meredith and team! I only wish we lived closer so we could have your delicious treats more often.
My husband Dave and I loved working with Meredith! She listened to our specific wants and needs (cake for us and three different types of cupcakes for guests)! She let us look over some previous designs for inspiration and then drew exactly what we wanted by taking what we liked from those and incorporating our own ideas! The buttercream frosting wasn't grainy and was super creamy! Each cupcake was so different (chocolate with raspberry filling, lemon with lemon curd and chocolate with peanut butter)! We were thrilled when we saw our very own cake and even more so when we got to eat it! Our guests kept commenting on how delicious everything was. We trusted Meredith as soon as we met her and we're so happy we did! We can't imagine working with anyone else. We highly recommend the team at Artisan Bake Shop!
I loved working with Artisan Bakery, and our cake and cupcakes came out perfectly, looked just how I imagined, and tasted even better! Our guests also loved the cupcakes. Highly recommend to other couples!
Meredith and her staff were so pleasant to work with. From the cake tasting all the way up until the big day. The cake turned out better than I imagined it to be and my guest raved about how delicious it was. Thank you!
Our custom dessert bar was one of the things at our wedding that people are still talking about a month later. Meredith and her team were wonderful to work with. From the start, we don't live nearby, and they were flexible about getting us a tasting box to go so that we could taste everything on our own schedule, despite the fact that we could only get to the bakery on a day that they happened to be out of town. They gave great guidance on how much of everything we needed, how many different things would be too much, and where to buy the candy that we wanted to add to our table. The displays that they provided for our tables were perfect for our decor (classic and a bit rustic as well), and they arrived and set everything up perfectly, complete with signage. And of course, everything was DELICIOUS. They offer such a great variety and so many of our favorite things. We opted to not have a wedding cake but nobody missed it - everyone was thrilled with the whoopie pies, cookies, cupcakes, cake pops, brownies, and single serve strawberry shortcakes and key lime pies! We also had our candy shipped directly to them and they handled everything which made it so easy for us. I will definitely be buying more baked goods from them even though the wedding's over!
Absolutely everything was perfect! My husband and I went early in our planning, completely unprepared for our appointment. Meredith handled it no problem, and within our time we had designed our cake, with only minor changes later on, and selected our flavors. Later, when I called to confirm our order about a month out, Meredith prompted me for information on our dietary-challenged guests, of which we had many! Not to worry, she jumped right in and made selections for each of them that they were able to enjoy. Day of, the cake arrived in beautiful condition, sat on it's table all evening exceeding our hopes for presentation, and when it was finally time to eat, it tasted fantastic! We had four tiers and opted to do 2 different flavors (awesome choice, by the way!) My husband and I are eagerly awaiting our anniversary when we can go back and use our certificate!
Not only was our cake so beautiful but it was absolutely delicious, we had compliments from just about everyone! (My mother even snuck a second piece). I can't say how much we loved working with Meredith! My husband, maid of honor and I went to Artisan Bake shop in the early spring for a cake tasting and we had the best time! I had no idea what I was looking for in a cake but Meredith let us take as much time as we needed to taste everything, gave suggestions on combinations for cake and filling, and drew us several sketches. About two weeks before the wedding it dawned on me that I had a guest with a gluten allergy- I was worried it was too late to come up with anything at that point but Meredith emailed me back almost right away and said not to worry - they would provide a gluten free alternative at no extra charge. For a bride doing 100 things two weeks before their wedding - I couldn't have been more grateful and relieved! My husband and I were amazed when last week we pulled out our contract and compared it to the picture of our actual cake. It was spot on! To the texture of the tiers to all of the little details on the actual cake. Meredith and her team are so talented - we can't wait to come back for special occasions in the future.
Thank you Artisan Bake Shop!

We knew from our first tasting that Artisan Bake Shop was the right baker for our wedding cake. Everything we tasted was delicious! Meredith took the time to talk to us and figure out exactly what we were looking for and gave us a lot of advice on what would look best. We were very happy with the sketch she drew up right away. She also helped me pick out the perfect cake topper for our nautical wedding! We were blown away by how beautiful the cake turned out, it was perfect!! More than that, we got SO MANY comments on how delicious the cake was. Everybody loved it (we had two flavors and most people tried both and loved them both!) My husband and I didn't get to eat much of it (I only had the little bit that didn't get smushed on my face during the cake cutting ;) ! ) However, we are having our top tier made fresh on our one year anniversary, and we are super excited to eat more than our share.
Thank you again Meredith and the team there, you guys are awesome!!!

Meredith is the sweetest person, and made us the most amazing wedding cake and cupcakes. The consultation day was one of my favorite days of planning. She was able to take our ideas, and come up with a beautiful cake and cupcakes (We didn’t even know we wanted cupcakes!) . She incorporated all the features I liked in a cake, and came up with pages of designs, that we were able to choose from. She made it extremely easy, fun, and truly shows her incredible talents. The cake was the best cake I have ever had, and we were able to choose lots of fun flavors for the cupcakes. I was beyond impressed with her artistic and baking talents, as well as her beautiful personality.
Words can not describe how amazing artisan bake shop is! Meredith is outstanding and her attention to detail is great! When we went for our cake tasting we were taken aback with how professional Meredith was and the different varieties and flavors of cakes and filling we were able to taste. Meredith designed our cake right on the spot and then when I wanted to add a few changes to it after we booked she was happy to accommodate them and give me a few additional options.
Our cake tasted and looked amazing! It was everything we imagined! Our guests are still raving about how delicious it was! I will definitely be ordering more cakes from artisan bake shop in the future!!
Wow! Our cake for our wedding was absolutely stunning. Everyone complimented it!!! It was gorgeous and delicious! We had a five tier cake with 3 different flavors of cake and filling. Every single tier was so yummy! I couldn't have dreamed of a better cake! I have already recommended Artisan to so many people! Do not hesitate to choose them for your wedding cake because they are perfect and so friendly! They also made a custom cookie wedding favor with a picture of the rosecliff mansion (where we got married on it) Something that may have been difficult they made look easy producing 180 cookies!! I can't wait to order another cake from them again for future events! If you need pictures of my cake, favor, or just hear more about my experience you can ask them for my contact!
We loved Meredith from the second we met her. She is so organized and will quickly respond to any questions that you may have. At our cake tasting, I had given her a picture of a cake that I loved and I was so happy to walk into our reception on 6/24/17 and see it that she nailed it. The cake was delicious and we already cannot wait to get our anniversary cake with the gift certificate she left in our card box. =]
My husband and I used Artisan for our wedding on June 3. The minute we met with Meredith we knew from the start she was the one who we wanted to design our cake and cupcakes. She has you go in for a tasting and while you try her many amazing options she also helps you design your dream cake. We decided to do a two tier carrot cake with 200 cupcakes, half vanilla and half chocolate. She narrowed down the design we wanted and we immediately fell in love. We had one special request and that was that our puppy Winston who is a Boston Terrier be peeking from behind the cake. Let me tell you when I saw the cupcake display and the cake I lost it. It was absolutely everything my husband and I envisioned and our guests still are talking about how amazing the cupcakes were and how beautifully everything was displayed, most people even had more than one because they were so good! If you are looking for someone who can make your every dream come true for your cake, cupcakes or desserts I would only suggest you use Meredith from Artisan!!!
We contacted Artisan Bake Shop due to a referral from Molly from Main Street Formals. She just raved about their cupcakes and to me, word of mouth is one of the most powerful marketing tool out there. I had to see and taste for myself so I emailed the shop regarding a 3-tier cake and got a response right away. Meredith was very helpful from the start so we set up a cake tasting session to go with a custom cake rather than a pre-designed signature cake. During the cake tasting, we reviewed a big binder of cakes that she designed to see which ones we liked. I had already looked online and found a design that I loved, so looking through the binder just confirmed that I wanted a different design and texture for every tier. We then tasted different cakes and frostings and were able to take home the leftovers, along with 3 cake sketches. After consulting with my MOH, we were able to choose the design. And I have to say, the cake turned out beautiful! I was a little nervous about it, but the photos look gorgeous and the chocolate and red velvet flavors tasted absolutely delicious! Our guests raved about the cake too and luckily, we opted for the having the anniversary cake rather than saving the top tier. So we will have the same awesome cake next year :) thanks Meredith and Artisan Bake Shop!

Artisan Bake shop is absolutely amazing!! Their cakes always taste as good as they look! Every cake I have ever ordered from here has been delicious and my favorite cake was my wedding cake...it was beautiful and delicious!
The best! Meredith and her team were fabulous to work with, great at communicating, and made seriously amazing cakes! The tasting and design meeting was delightful - we never felt rushed, we ate a ton of delicious cakes/fillings, and Meredith was awesome about our non-traditional design requests. We had seven different kinds of cakes/cupcakes and asked for simple, clean designs with floral and greenery decor. They totally came through with absolutely gorgeous cakes that were so delicious. Dozens of our guests commented on how good the cakes were - and they weren't kidding, as we didn't have a single bite remaining at the end of the wedding. Artisan Bake Shop killed it!!
Meredith of Artisan Bake shop created our wedding cake last September for our wedding on the Cape and it was nothing short of spectacular! I don’t have an artistic bone in my body, and was so relieved that Meredith could take a few key elements that I had in mind for our cake and turn it into a masterpiece!
My husband has gluten free dietary needs, and we were so thankful that Meredith could not only create a beautiful design but a delicious cake to boot! Our beach- inspired cake displayed starfish, beach chairs, ocean waves and sand on top of carrot cake with cream cheese filling and butter cream frosting. SO YUMMY!!
I was so impressed to find that Meredith left us a hand-written card with voucher for a free replica of our wedding cake on our 1 year anniversary. What a special surprise. We currently live in MN and can’t wait to take a trip back to MA to experience it again!! I highly recommend Artisan Bake shop!
Meredith and her team are amazing. I have used Artisan for my parents custom wedding anniversary cake, as well as other small cakes for birthdays and celebrations this past year. Truly beautiful designs, and I heard from so many guests, that it was the best tasting cake they have ever had at an event!
Meredith was a pleasure to work with from our initial inquiry all the way up to our wedding day on November 10, 2016. She was patient, attentive and creative when working with us to design our cake and dessert bar. When I walked into the reception and saw how beautiful everything looked, I wished I could hug her right then and there! Most importantly, the desserts were delicious. Everyone raved about the cider donuts and pumpkin cupcakes. Our lemon cake with raspberry filling was also a huge hit. I can't recommend Artisan Bake Shop highly enough, and can't wait to return for a sweet treat on our first anniversary!
Meredith was able to take all of our eclectic requests and wishes, turning them into a cohesive and stunning wedding cake. Throughout our consultation we never felt rushed and truly felt like she was focused just on our wedding and needs. The cake was delivered to the venue on time and in tact- it was truly the star of the reception! The cake the day of (and the following days) was delicious and enjoyed by everyone. Meredith was very responsive to emails throughout this entire process, which was greatly appreciated.
We chose two different flavors for our cake, Lemon Cake with Raspberry filling and Chocolate Cake with Raspberry filling- we could not have been more pleased!!!!
Meredith is one of the best vendors we worked with. We met with several other bakers, and Meredith by far was the most talented, professional and artistic one we met with. I had no concerns whatsoever that she understood what we were looking for and would deliver a cake that was just as delicious as the tasting. I'm not kidding, at our wedding I almost went around to scoop up any of the uneaten plates!! I was ecstatic when we got to our room after the after party to find our venue had put a couple slices up there for us to have. So good! Meredith also created a groom's cake that we discussed over email. My husband is British and I wanted the fruitcake wedding tradition to be incorporated to the reception somehow. His mom even raved about the cake, which is saying something! Thank you Meredith for everything!
Artisan Bake Shop is amazing! Meredith and her staff were lovely and provided exactly what we wanted in a wedding cake experience. I have never seen a more gorgeous confection in my life and they absolutely nailed it in terms of professionalism and creativity.
After an extremely fun tasting, we decided to go with Artisan Bak Shop. Our wedding cake was gorgeous and exactly what we wanted. I recommend Meredith to anyone I know planning a special event -- especially a wedding.
Not only was our naked cake gorgeous and exactly what we envisioned, it was the most delicious cake either of us had ever tasted. When we met Meredith, we knew we had an artist on our hands. She took the time to get to know us, listened to us and what we wanted in a wedding cake, and created a beautiful sketch based on our “naked cake” vision.
I highly recommend a drive to beautiful Rochester to meet Meredith and experience her talented and creative bake shop.
Meredith and her staff at Artisan Bake Shop are unbelievable! Our tasting with Meredith was amazing, she laid out a variety of different cupcakes and frostings/toppings so we could make our own combinations, plus a tasting plate of other small bites like cake pops and mini cookies, as we planned to do a dessert table. We ended up choosing three cupcakes, chocolate cake with coconut mounds topping, carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and a lemon cake with raspberry preserves filling and vanilla buttercream. PLUS a small cutting cake (vanilla cake with chocolate and pb filling), which was delicious and beautiful, and accompanying vanilla cake pops, mini cookie sandwiches and to-die-for brownies! On the day of the wedding, her team assembled a gorgeous dessert table, with their provided platters (available for rent). I can't wait to receive our fresh anniversary cake next September! :)
I cannot recommend Meredith at the Artisan Bakeshop enough. Everyone went crazy over the cupcakes which were so incredibly delicious, not to mention the setup was absolutely perfect. She was extremely friendly, and was able to give us exactly what we were looking for.
Cake tasting was one of my favorite things! Being able to sample a range of items and make the final decision was awesome. I was told how awesome it was to have cupcakes instead of a whole cake and it was a real hit! Everyone enjoyed the cupcakes! The cake was awesome. I'm excited to order our anniversary cake as well!!
Extremely happy with Artisan Bakeshop! We live in Germany and Meredith was very helpful and flexible in helping us work out designs and do our tasting at the end rather than the start of the process. The cakes were absolutely beautiful, moist, tasty and everyone was extremely impressed. The cakes were delivered very promptly and in perfect condition. Additionally, the barrel cake that was supposedly for 14 people ended up getting eaten by almost all of our 60 guests: it was HUGE! I only wish it had been someone else's wedding so I had more time and attention for cake-eating :) Seriously, go with these guys, they're fantastic.
Meredith is amazing! All I can say is holy tasting. we went to several wedding cake vendors and when we came to Artisan we were blown away. Meredith is a complete professional and really takes the time to get to know the couple and designs a cake or cakes in our case (as we had 12 different cakes) that is exactly what you want. The amount of detail that she puts into the tasting just gives you a sense of how much effort she is going to put into your cake. She took our crazy idea of cake centerpieces and helped design 12 different cakes each with different filling, cake, and frosting combination. Meredith was very responsive and easy to contact. Any time we stopped by the shop she was always gracious and always followed up with an email to make sure we were on the same page. It made us feel very well cared for and kept us calm. we knew we would have nothing to worry about with Artisan.
Artisan Bake Shop made a beautiful and delicious cutting cake for our wedding. The cupcakes and desserts we ordered were a big hit with our guests. We highly recommend Meredith and her staff to anyone who is looking for a cake for a special occasion.
We were extremely please with our entire experience with Meredith. The tasting and consultation was smooth and everything was amazing. We had difficulty narrowing down which flavors of cake and frosting because there were so many delicious flavors. On the day of our wedding, everything looked terrific. When the cake was served, we receiver many compliments of how amazing the cake looked and tasted. We would highly recommend Meredith and the Artisan Bake Shop to anyone looking for a wedding cake.
I already knew my cake was going to have a unique look to it but Meredith went above and beyond my expectations. Six months later and people still talk about how amazing the cake looked and tasted!
Meredith is amazing. Her attention to detail was right on point! My cake and cupcakes looked great and also tasted like heaven... Her prices are very reasonable. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great cake. She also gives you a gift card for your 1 year anniversary so you don't have to save cake for a year!!
My groom and I wanted to only have a 1 tier cake for cutting and then a dessert bar instead of cake for dessert. When my original baker fell through I was at a loss for who I would use. Thank goodness for Google.
I loved that Meredith met with us and we were able to sample some of her delicious creations. She sat with us and drew out design options for our cake. She sent us home with full bellies to sleep on it. The desserts were a huge hit. I would especially recommend her brownie cake pops!
Our cake was just what we wanted and Meredith gave us a beautifully displayed dessert bar. Meredith was sensitive to our guests with allergies and made them each a separate cupcake.
After the wedding the cake was on the counter and neither one of us could go into the kitchen without eating a piece of it! I am not a big cake eater but the smell of it was so enticing! One of the most delicious cakes I've ever had.
No question about it - 5 stars. From beginning to end, Meredith and the team at The Artisan Bake Shop were one of the best vendors; they understood the vision, they were accommodating and responsive, they needed no direction and just delivered exactly what was expected.
From the very beginning, the cake tasting experience was incredible. Meredith let us sample everything - and really spent a lot of time to understand exactly what we wanted; down to every detail. I left feeling so very confident with our choice of bake shops (and very full of goodies!).
We got an entire dessert table for the wedding; our guests loved it - it was absolutely aesthetically beautiful, and everything was absolutely perfect. We couldn't have asked for better!!! Thank you, Meredith!!
I just wanted to take a moment to thank Meredith and team for such an AMAZING wedding cake and experience with Artisan Bake Shop. From the moment we met Meredith at our appointment up until the day of the wedding- she was absolutely wonderful. Toward the end of our appointment I asked my husband (then fiancé) if he even wanted to go to the next appointment, because we were so impressed with her and the shop. Just to make sure we covered all bases, we did go to the other appointment and I'm glad we did. It made us realize even more just how awesome Meredith and the Artisan Bake shop was. There was absolutely no comparison between our experience at Artisan and at the other shop. To start, the flavors and quality of the product were perfect and well above expectations. Also, Meredith was super kind, patient, and didn't try to sway us one way or another. And finally, she provided a personal one on one experience that made us feel she really cared about what we wanted. Months later I reached out to Meredith regarding gluten free options for a couple of my guests- she quickly responded letting me know that she would be able to provide complimentary cupcakes for these guests. When I walked into the reception room the day of the wedding I was absolutely floored at how beautiful the cake and cupcakes turned out and how perfectly they matched our theme. Meredith was able to perfectly capture our vision in the 1 hour we met over 9 months ago and bring it to life with out ever even having to reach back out. It was so unbelievably easy to work with her! When it came to dessert time people were raving about the flavor and both guests with gluten allergies immediately came over to me thanking me because they could finally have a cupcake again! Thank you so much for making our experience so special and I'll highly recommend Artisan!
I came across reviews for Artisan when I was searching reviews on wedding websites. Meredith's work and reviews far surpassed others I saw. I'm so glad that they did. I could not have been happier with the masterpiece she created for our big day. I had found a photo of a cake I loved and she replicated it to the T. When we met with her for our tasting, she was extremely open, helpful, and down to earth. I needed direction with certain things and it was clear that she's a true professional. She truly made the entire process seamless. Each and every flavor she has is out of this world. It was extremely difficult to make our flavor decisions, because each one was just as good as the others. On the big day, the cake came within perfect time. I teared up when I saw it because it was truly perfect. I'm still getting comments about how delicious and beautiful our cake was. We truly could not have been more pleased.
Our cake was delicious! I have never heard people look forward to wedding cake or heard so many compliments on the taste. Our cake was pumpkin and vanilla with cream cheese filling and a butter cream frosting. Meriwether took our vision and created a beautiful cake for a reasonable price. Highly recommend.
Meredith is amazing at what she does and a pleasure to work with. Artisan was the first and last bakery we went to after numerous personal recommendations.
All of her cakes are so beautiful, but it was the taste that sold us. We had assorted desserts provided by our caterer for our wedding so we didn't actually serve the cake, but we wanted something simple, just a single tier that we could use for the cake cutting (and to eat ourselves after).
Meredith made us a beautiful buttercream frosted 7" round cake with sugar pearls "strung" round the top and draped down the sides, finished off with a beautiful black lace ribbon around the bottom of the cake. The cake itself was a lemon cake with raspberry and lemon filling.
We've been storing it in the fridge and over a week later it still tastes amazing!
Meredith and her talent are beyond! She is so much fun to work with, and helps bring your vision to life! She did a dessert spread and naked cake for our wedding, and all of our guests were raving about how delicious everything was! Almost every family member of mine uses her for weddings, birthdays, or any excuse for her ahhh-mazing cupcakes! Cannot recommend Artisan enough! XO
I am so happy I decided to use Artisan Bake Shop for my wedding! From the first meeting with Meredith, I felt very comfortable because she was so sweet and extremely professional (not to mention the cakes and desserts we tasted were amazing). I wasn't sure what style of cake I wanted but Meredith helped guide me and my fiance and the end result was more beautiful and delicious than I could have imagined! We also did a dessert bar for our wedding which all of our guests raved about! Meredith was able to help us pick the best combination of desserts and even matched the colors of them, along with the platters and stands to the color scheme of my wedding. I also ended up asking Meredith to make a groom's cake for my fiance as a surprise at our rehearsal dinner. I can't begin to tell you the compliments we received. Everyone there said it was the most amazing cake they had ever seen! She incorporated my fiance's three favorite things (Disney, Christmas and the Patriots) seamlessly. I didn't even want to eat it, it looked so good! Overall, Artisan Bake Shop exceeded my expectations and I would 100% recommend them!
I am so lucky to have a soy allergy, otherwise I never would have met Meredith or enjoyed her amazing cakes. The usual vendors that my venue works with could not accommodate my allergy, so the wedding coordinator reached out to Meredith and she was more than willing to find a cake that my fiance and I loved that was soy-free. She had a number of options for us during our tasting - all of which tasted absolutely amazing like any normal cake (with soy) would! We picked a lemon cake with buttercream frosting and raspberry buttercream filling that I dream about daily. Meredith is very talented and so easy to work with! Cannot recommend Artisan enough.
We could not have made a better decision when it came to our wedding cake. Artisan Bake Shop was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. We met Meredith at our cake tasting, which was delicious, and set up wonderfully! Meredith took bits and pieces of pictures of cakes we liked and created sketches for us to choose from. She then took the sketch we chose and turned it into the perfect wedding cake.
Not only did our cake look beautiful but it also tasted delicious! Meredith was so helpful in choosing the perfect combinations of cake and filling options.
We absolutely recommend Artisan Bake Shop to every couple planning their wedding!
When I tell you that EVERY guest at my wedding raved about the cake, I am not exaggerating in the least. My cousin's husband had two pieces in one sitting and I've had about four emails from people asking where they can order a smaller version. Meredith is AMAZING to work with… she's patient and creative and sweet. I kept her for ages talking about all of my options (I was convinced I didn't want to be a traditional cake bride), and then when I actually DID decide on a cake, she was great about supplying me with new quotes and breakdowns without a peep of annoyance (which I would have found difficult to do in her position). I can't recommend Artisan enough… the spice cake with cream cheese frosting knocked 80 people's socks off.
Meredith was an absolute joy to work with! We hired her to do our dessert table at Bittersweet Farm and our guest still have not stopped talking about the beautiful display and the delicious desserts! She also baked a two tier wedding cake that was to die for ... So good that the bride herself had 3 pieces the next day! From the moment we met Meredith at our consultation we knew we wanted to hire her. She made the process so much fun by sketching her ideas for our dessert table right there with us and allowing us to try all of her delicious cakes and variety of desserts! We highly recommend her, especially for dessert tables, and we definitely will be using her for our future events!
I loved my moist vanilla cake with raspberry filling. My husband and I had a blast at our cake tasting with mixing an matching cakes and fillings. Her unique design was wonderful too! Meredith is a delightful artist who sketched designs for me and was able to make bride and groom whales as my cake toppers based on a photo of a cake topper I loved online. She matched the colors of my whale's bouquet to my real bouquet and made glasses for the groom's whale. It was wonderful! Everyone loved the taste and design! We look forward to using our 1 Year Anniversary cake voucher for a small cake of our choosing to celebrate next year. Meredith is wonderful, and I am certain you will love her and her team too!
Our wedding cake was just perfect, lovely elegant and simple! Not only was the cake gorgeous it also tasted delicious and many of my guests made it a point to tell me this! Meredith is a sweetheart and a true pleasure to work with. She is the best in the game! She is quick and responsive to answer emails and all questions. If you don't choose this bake shop, you are surely loosing out!
The cake was absolutely delicious!! And Meredith was wonderful to work with and super professional. When we did the cake tasting, all of her flavors were so good that it was very difficult to pick them for our wedding. And the cake came out beautiful as well - we were very pleased all around. Thank you Meredith!! :)
We had a very small intimate wedding in Cape Cod. I planned from Texas so I was not able to do any taste testing. I wanted a small cake but I also wanted it to be special. Artisan Bake Shop, is incredibly professional and are very good about communicating. I got more than I expected. Our cake was so delicious and beautiful. Thank you so much for helping to make our day so special ♥
