Awkward Pastry

. She spent a great deal of time with us to review all of our options and provided expert guidance as we designed our wedding cake. The cake tastings she prepared for us were simply delicious and it helped us decide on the final cake design. On the day of the wedding, the cake was delivered on time and in perfect condition. The cake literally looked like a work of art and became the centerpiece of our dinner reception. You absolutely cannot go wrong with Awkward Pastry and Jess is simply a wonderful person to work with who has obviously dedicated her life to her craft.

um!!! The design was so beautiful, and she is professional and great to work with. Would recommend her x100!! Thanks Jess! 

cakes Awkward Pastry had done, we knew we were in good hands. We started with a cake sampler to get an idea of what flavor we wanted and then went from there. Jess also made it easy to order some gluten-free options for those who would need that at our party. When we went to pick up the cake, she also helped walk us through how to cut the cake for al our guests since we were having a backyard celebration. The flavors, the decorations, and the communication made Jess the perfect fit for our wedding celebration.

e broad parameters for the color/design, and she worked her magic! We got this beautiful blue and green painted cake with pops of gold and gorgeous flowers/succulents on top! The cake tasted amazing, probably the best I've ever had. The little lemon bars, brownies, and mini-cupcakes we got were also delicious! Everyone was so impressed and raved about the desserts. Working with Jess in advance was really easy, as was the delivery.

taste and I didn’t have to look any further. This is as my second marriage and I am no longer young. Because of this I didn’t want the cake to be the star of the reception, but a reflection of our love for each other and for our friends and family. I didn’t want a layered cake or over decorated. We wanted to be a minimal whimsical beauty that we can remember fondly. That is exactly what we got. Two separate cakes, one square and one round. Both white with fresh flowers adorned around each cake. There were many flavor choices to choose from and again, we wanted subtle flavors that everyone would savor and enjoy. The cakes did not disappoint. In fact, we didn’t have any cake to take home to enjoy later because there wasn’t any left when the reception was over.  I strongly recommend ordering a cake from Awkward Pastry for any big (or small) event. You will not be disappointed!  Thanks Jessica and team!

eative options that are mindblowingly good. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how good the dessert was. We had a friend who was unimpressed with a cake tasting she did for her wedding when she did the tasting with Jess, she was so excited to book her. It’s amazing when you can buy local too. I will continue to buy treats from Jess for special occasions!

dibly delicious! Communication with Jess was smooth and easy. Everything came out even better than we had hoped!

ork with and made us feel so comfortable. I wasn’t sure I wanted a cake at all until I saw a picture of a cake she made for another wedding at our venue and realized I had to track her down! We trusted Jess completely with our vision and not only did she deliver with a literal work of art, but a cake that many of our guests said was the best they’ve ever had at a wedding. 100/10 recommend!

es online, I knew they’d be perfect. Their unique, creative designs matched beautifully with my daughter’s botanical garden theme. From my first call and email, Jessica was a pleasure to work with—friendly, patient, and full of great advice. The couple wanted a small cake for photos but preferred a dessert bar, and she helped us fine-tune every detail with clear, reasonable pricing. Our tasting was a delight—Jessica even included extra cookies! The cupcakes were as delicious as they were beautiful. I couldn’t be happier with our choice, and I wholeheartedly recommend Awkward Pastry for any special occasion!

d buttercream frosting was absolutely delicious. It was a dream come true! We can’t wait to go to her for our next event!

ed our florals perfectly. A work of ART. Highly recommend hiring Awkward Pastry for all your dessert needs--I cannot wait to work with Jess and her team again!

eautiful and tasted amazing. I plan to ask Jess to make a cake for us on our first anniversary. Highly recommend her!

as excited from the moment I started reading her cake menu let alone how beautiful they were. My husband is not a big sweets person and even he loved it. Jess and her team were professional, they answered all my questions promptly, and delivered exactly what I wanted. I look forward to trying more of her treats. 10/10 would recommend Awkward Pastries to everyone!

ng cake in stride and executed flawlessly! Thank you Jess! <3

delightful it was. The cake was moist, bursting with flavor, and perfectly sweet. Awkward Pastry went above and beyond our expectations. Thank you for creating such a wonderful addition to our special day!

ating with our planner to ensure that the cake arrived at the perfect time as to not melt (we had no refrigeration)... she was so helpful and responsive! The cake itself turned out amazingly beautiful and delicious and we can't recommend her enough!

fresh berries and cream cheese frosting. Can’t say enough good things!

ste AMAZING but it was beautiful! Thank you Awkward Pastry team!

ic to corn and corn syrups, so shelf-stable cakes/ingredients are a no go. This cake was not so sweet that it feels like you’re eating highly processed cake, but sweet enough and certainly flavorful to feel decadent and please me and my crew (and we all have sweet tooths). Each layer was a different flavor and Jess has lots of creative flavors, not only the classic faves. We chose (1) lemon cake with fresh berries and vanilla frosting (2) vanilla cake with raspberry curd and earl gray frosting — personally I loved that frosting — and (3) cinnamon cake with caramel frosting. We had previously purchased two sample boxes with mini cakes so I’ve actually tried 8 different options and they were all great (my kids sampled them all and agreed). We almost got the peanut butter frosting on chocolate or the orange cake with passion fruit curd, also amazing, it was hard to choose. It was an outdoor garden wedding and we asked for a semi-naked cake with fresh berries appropriate and decorated in the vibe of our venue. Jess delivered! Communication directly with Jess was easy and fast and she was even able to increase the cake size at kind of the last minute when I realized our glass blue bird cake toppers might not fit otherwise. No problem. And thank goodness we did because the cake disappeared quickly. Not even a slice to take home for the after party. Highly recommend.

ne a more beautiful cake. It was equally delicious! We picked her orange cake with passion fruit curd and buttercream frosting. All of our guests are still raving about how good it was! Jess was so lovely and kind and great to work with! I couldn't recommend Awkward Pastry more and can't wait to order more cakes and treats for future events!

tc. This was anything but. Everyone raved about the cake (lemon with a raspberry cream filling and cream frosting) and didn’t know it was GF. Jess came through again:)

allow fluff to make our dream s’mores wedding cake come true! We are so grateful we chose Awkward Pastries for our big day, all of our guests raved about how good the cake was!!!

eat (we ordered a pistachio w/ pistachio buttercream and a lemon w/ earl grey buttercream) and my husband any I were honestly pretty bummed that we couldn't enjoy more of our wedding cake that night considering how hectic and busy our evening was. As for the design—we asked for something simple mixed with a little bit of cottage core/witchy vibes and as you can see, she absolutely killed it!! Everything about the entire ordering process was just so smooth. She was kind, helpful, and pretty quick to respond to any questions I had. I look forward to ordering more treats from her in the future and I'll definitely give her more creative control as well :)

INCREDIBLE. We talk about how we wish we should’ve eaten more that night all the time. Pick up was a breeze, cake was beautiful, 100% recommendation.

zing, and she has a beautiful vision for design and decoration. We ended up going with a multi-tier cake and some other assorted dessert stuff. Day of, the cake was delivered on time and decorated out with beautiful florals. After having to do some wrangling with other vendors, it was a total relief to feel like the desserts were handled. The cake was outstanding, and everyone absolutely loved it. Our only regret is we didn’t save ourselves a slice to enjoy the next day. We’re still craving some of the passion fruit curd and might need to order another little something to celebrate our 1-year anniversary. Thanks so much Awkward Pastry.
