Atkins Farms

ially the cutting cake!

gue was the best he's ever had and his brother even brought a couple of slices of the strawberry rhubarb home to his kids in Canada. The pies were spot on in terms of sweetness, flavoring and had nice golden brown crusts on the bottom. The ordering process was also quite easy and the staff were happy to answer any questions we had.

eremony were more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. I wanted to add a lot of sentimental charms to both mine and my bridal parties bouquets and they did an amazing job incorporating all the extras.

ous, affordable and fresh. I would recommend their yellow cake, custard, strawberries with buttercream. Their staff were very helpful along the way and always willing to chat if I had questions. Next event, I'll make sure to add their cider donuts on the list too!

a great at listening to my ideas and making recommendations based off of my vision which is exactly what I needed. They also helped me stay within my budget which means a lot when it comes to wedding vendors! The flowers came out just as I had envisioned them. They cake they made us was exactly what I described using pictures from Pinterest and was delicious. I would definitely choose them again.

also had them deliver their famous cider donuts and apple cider for a late night snack when they delivered our cake. I would highly recommend them to anyone... especially their cannoli filling!

elvet cake with regular buttercream frosting. I love the look of a naked cake and Atkins created a gorgeous cake for us that I was so in love with, despite not caring about cake! They also worked with our florist to attach succulents to the various tiers, which really made the cake even more beautiful.

so we could see the colors & shapes, & made helpful suggestions to make sure things looked great. The centerpieces & bouquets held up great throughout the evening, but my only minor criticism is that the boutonnieres did wilt a bit.

selections of flowers. It was just as we discussed, and better. She was always coming up with new ideas and would put together flowers and send me photos of them o see if I liked the combinations! Also very reasonably priced- and we looked at a few other local options. I would absolutely recommend and use Atkins for all future events!

e listened to our requests and created a simple, elegant, and delicious wedding cake! Our flavors were marbleized chocolate and white cake because they were so moist. The frosting was very rich on the tasting cupcakes, but just right for a slice of wedding cake. :-) A note about the florist- we tried getting information from the florist thinking it would be easy to do cake and flowers with the same vendor. Communication was very poor and the brochure we found in the store was very outdated.

ting the cake here. I met with Sue (didn't really have a personality) to pick out the bouquets for the wedding. Together we were able to come up with something that I liked and fit our color scheme for a reasonable cost. She was very flexible and easy to work with. She tried to upgrade us with some things that we didn't want but we just stood our ground and said no. In the end the bouquets were beautiful. The final product was going to be delivered at noon and the delivery person came three hours early. Luckily the venue allowed me to store the flowers in their walk in fridge until we needed them otherwise they would have wilted. I am sure if I was a flower lover I would have liked Atkins Floral Department better but would still recommend them to others. I'm sure my experience would be more enthusiastic if I didn't get hounded by my bridesmaids at least every other week about the flowers. Because I was so reluctant I have to point out that I ordered the flowers a month before the wedding and they were able to accommodate us every easily. If you are looking for a one stop shop place in the Amherst area I would recommend Atkins Farms. Cake - Highly recommend. The lady that helped us with the cake was helpful, creative and easy to work with. I brought in a picture of a cake that I liked and she replicated the image perfectly. The cake was amazing tasting. I choose a buttercream instead of fondant because fondant doesn't taste good. All of the cake flavors were really flavorful. I don't even like red velvet cake and almost picked it because it was so good. We choose vanilla and chocolate with a strawberry filling to match the chocolate covered strawberries decorated on the outside of the cake as a bride and groom. The lemon, carrot and red velvet flavors were also really good.

he state two weekends from now, I called to set up a consultation. The floral manager, Sue Stosz, said it was "too early to begin thinking about flowers" and told me I "couldn't possibly have a theme picked out yet." I told Susan that if she wasn’t willing to help me I would have to look elsewhere. She was unabashedly rude, assumptive and wholly unprofessional. After she told me that she would not be able to help me further, I called back and asked for a manager. They forwarded me directly back to her. She then proceeded to tell me that talking to a manager “wouldn’t get me anywhere”, because her boss is her sister-in-law. Instead of working with a future client with who is excited about the prospect of doing thousands of dollars’ worth of business with Atkins Farms, Sue Stosz has ruined my opinion, attitude and outlook toward their entire business. This unprofessionalism is unacceptable, and Sue Stosz not having to answer for this lack of customer service and basic incivility is classic nepotism at its finest. DO NOT patronize this business.

dvice, and cost quotes. The result was simply beautiful, and the price very reasonable. The flowers were fresh and vibrant. Still have my bouquet, dry now, but still looks pretty. The cake looked just like we pictured and it tasted good! Thanks Atkins!

owers that we didn't personally love out to the mix and talked to us about how she would arrange them. When my bouquet arrived, it was speechless. It far exceeded my expectations and was beautiful. Sue is a talented florist and was enjoyable to work with. We also had Atkins make our cake. We went with a non- traditional flavor of cherry almond. People still talk to us about how delicious it was. The cake was beautifully decorated and exactly what he had hoped for. Again, a perfect experience with Atkins.

me what she was going to give me, which was not even close to what I wanted. I showed her a picture of what I wanted by bouquet to look like, she showed me a picture of a bouquet that she just made, and said that's what she will make me, it was not at all what I wanted, and when I told her that, she just got very mad at me. Me kept trying to make me get carnations, which I said multiple times I did not want carnations in any of my bouquets or on my cake, she continued to get very mad, saying that's what I would be getting. I could not believe the rudeness and high level of disrespect I was getting as a costumer. I would highly recommend going any where else when looking to flowers for your wedding, don't waste your time at Atkins Farms with the horrible costumer service.

k my likes (colors and ideas) and created a bouquet that blew everyone away. Our centerpieces were perfect - pretty, fall, warm and not over the top. Mostly she was a pleasure to deal with - very professional, precise, and on time - with emails, call backs, etc. Great lady, and the flowers were gorgeous and SOOOO affordable - (when I told folks how much my bouquet cost they didn't believe me). Sue rocks.

y wedding since I was little. We decided that we would have an Open House in Amherst and have Atkins Cake. It is the most delicious, soft and flavorful cake. And the icing it what takes the cake. I had a yellow cake with Butter Cream frosting. They etched a beautiful twirly design (just what I wanted) in the color of my wedding party which was a Mediterranean blue. Then I had white pearl beading along the edge of year teared cake. It was to die for and we had tons left over and now I can't fit into my wedding dress. If you ever want an incredible cake go to Atkins Bakery!
