We LOVED Bavarian Cakery! Their desserts and cakes taste even better than they look. They created a beautiful dessert bar that all of our guests enjoyed. They also made a delicious gluten free cake for our wedding cake - several guests had no clue it was gluten free because it tasted so good! We can’t recommend them enough

Our wedding cake was PERFECT! We got the wedding white cake with strawberry filling and it was absolutely delicious. We wanted a traditional looking cake, and Bavarian Cakery made our cake exactly what we asked for. We also got the charcuterie board for cocktail hour and it was a huge hit!! Everyone loved it and it was close to empty by the time my husband and I sat down! I would recommend everyone to get not only their wedding cake, but cake for any event from Bavarian Cakery!!

Bavarian Cakery was so great to work with! They came as part of a package of vendors from our wedding planners, and after our first meeting/tasting, we were immediately impressed! Their cake was so flavorful and moist, multiple of our guests told us that they loved the cake. Funny enough, we barely got to try any on our own wedding day, but I was so curious that we ended up tasting our cake topper before we left for our honeymoon. It was so good and now I can't wait to eat it again in a year! We also purchased a preservation kit from them and it was really detailed and I look forward to seeing how the cake has held up during our one year anniversary!

We LOVED working with the Bavarian team! Tara was so attentive to all our requests and even met with us a second time to lock down our design. The cake was also INCREDIBLE on wedding day! Our guests couldn’t say enough good things & we ate cake for about a week after. It was so fresh and absolutely stunning in our venue.

I had my wedding at 15 acres and was recommended through them for wedding cake. They were very helpful and very personal. I admire the fact that they are excited for you and making sure that they have your version in mind. I highly recommend using them.

First off, this was the best cake I've ever had. We ordered a 3-tier cake with two of the tiers being amaretto and Italian wedding. Which was an awesome compromise they made for us since we had different favorite flavors as the bride and groom. We did a cake tasting with our families and it was an awesome little experience, everyone had so much fun. We got to try many flavors of cake and icings that were all incredible. We designed a gorgeous cake of white icing with an ombre blue flowing rice paper cascade on the front. They put together the most perfect version of our vision we couldn't help but stop and stare when it arrived.

Tara was so helpful from start to finish in constructing our wedding cake. She was so personable and sat down with us at our tasting to really iron out what we wanted as far as flavors and design. She even made sure we had a small separate dairy free cake available for my stepdad (which was just as tasty as the rest of the cake!) Highly recommend the traditional wedding cake and the german chocolate. The cake came out beautifully and tasted so good!

The Bavarian Cakery provided a beautiful cake on time to specifications, but it was EXTREMELY DRY. It was hard to enjoy and a disappointment in the end. We paid a lot of this two tier cake, but I think we would have been better off with a fresher cake from a grocery store bakery.

I had requested a sample box for tasting of the desserts I was interested in prior to booking this vendor. We ended up ordering churro cups, macarons, and mixed berry tarts. If you are wanting churro, I suggest going with a vendor that makes them fresh on the site, it’ll taste way better than cold/stale churros. In the sample box we received mixed berry tarts we received with fresh fruits on top, which was the main reason why we selected it for our day. I’m not sure what happened but on our wedding day, tarts were delivered but they were not the ones we had sampled. The ones that were delivered had no fresh fruits on top and looked completely different than the one we sampled. I did not see the dessert table on my wedding day but recently received my wedding photos, which is why the error was discovered. I reached out to Tara vie email about this. She admitted that she did not note what items were placed in our sample box. She also expressed that because she did not receive a missing piece of the macaron tower display, that the $200 replacement fee was waived and this can an be an “even trade” for their mistake. Tara contacted my coordinator about this missing piece while I was out of the country for my honeymoon. She never contacted me directly regarding this missing piece until I emailed her regarding her baking error. I’m not saying she’s lying but there’s no proof that this piece was missing or if this narrative is used as a cover up. She mentioned in her email that she was surprise to learn of the mistake so late but like mentioned previously, I just got my wedding photos back. There is a lot of moving parts on a wedding day and unfortunately photos are all that one had to recall details. I do not recommend working with someone who forgets what they placed in your sample box, delivers the wrong baked goods for your wedding day, and when you bring it to their attention, they try to manipulate the issue with another issue. The tone of Tara email was passive aggressive. A person is aware when they do something wrong. For a vendor with years of experience to claim that they didn’t pay attention is beyond disappointing. I felt blindsided and did not get what I hoped for. There was no resolution for this error. If I can go back, we would have booked a different vendor that’s detailed oriented, delivered the right items for their clients on the most important day, and had a better plan in place for customer satisfaction. For a high price tag, you’ll expect better execution and service, but that isn’t the case for Bavarian Cakery. 0/10 recommend.
Attached are photos of sample box and what was delivered on wedding day.
Response from Bavarian Cakery on 12/22/2023
As stated in the email yesterday (as we were just made aware of this). we appreciate all ...
feedback and where we like to always be free. Errors do happen. The mixed berry tarts were baked instead of fresh fruit. Interesting you haven't chosen to call or respond to our emails but instead social shaming. As stated in your tasting, the curros would be room temperature as to the nature of how this is executed. If you would like to contact us directly, we would absolutely be willing to discuss your contract further.

Our wedding cake was beautiful and delicious, and Tara was so easy to work with! She was able to make gluten free, egg free cupcakes to accommodate multiple of our guests’ dietary restrictions at once. These understandably had to be ordered in one dozen cupcake increments, and despite not having anywhere near 12 people who had these dietary restrictions they must have been tasty because I don’t think we had any left!

I highly recommend working with this bakery for your wedding! I have a gluten allergy and they were able to provide a combination of Gluten free and non GF desserts for our dessert table. They were very easy to work with and always kept us up to date on what they needed from us. The cake stand rentals available are beautiful. All around they are professionals who know their stuff - hire them!

This was such a beautiful cake and delicious on top of it! We did a tasting with Tara and her mother that make the cakes and own the company and ended up choosing a chocolate cake with a blackberry cream filling and then the bavarian cheese cake as the vanilla option. Both were a big hit and gave my guest options. They also have tons of other options for dessert with brownies, pies, etc, but the cake was plenty for us. The process was easy and quick and we had everything set up the same day as the tasting. Tara was a pleasure to work with!

We used Bavarian Cakery for our wedding, and loved the way that the cake came out. The tasting experience was fun and ensured we picked the perfect flavors for the day of our wedding. During the tasting we provided pictures of how we wanted the cake to be decorated and Bavarian Cakery absolutely nailed it. The cake came out looking great and was delicious. We would highly recommend.

We were really impressed by the level of attentiveness during the cake tasting appointments and various correspondence, everyone raved about the taste of the cakes and the groom’s cake looked incredible. The design on the bride’s cake though was different from what we expected, which could have stemmed from poor communication or confusing instructions on my end – I’ll let you make the call, as I requested the coloring to match my flowers (which they nailed) and "similar to this picture, but just not many watercolor 'spots'".
Not all was lost on the bride’s cake, as we were able to turn it around to conceal the design and most importantly, the cakes were still delicious. I truly believe that we’d work with Bavarian Cakery again because of all the reasons I previously mentioned, but had I done it again, I would have just gone with a more simple design on the bride’s cake.

All we can say is WOW!!! Our cake and desserts came out gorgeous!!
Our wedding venue Addison Woods unfortunately did not have power until 6pm the day of our wedding and communication was incredibly stressful. The Bavarian team stepped up to work with my coordinator to drop off my cake last minute so nothing melted and stayed in tact for our reception.
Everything again was gorgeous. We are grateful our coordinator saved our pudding cups and cake pops that were left over for us to take home because now we can’t stop eating them, they are incredible. I would recommend Bavarian to anyone!!!! And will be back for any other special event!

We came across Bavarian Cakery on google just to give ourselves more options during the wedding cake process. We initially were drawn to them because of the price and set an appointment. Once we arrived it smelled like cinnamon when we walked in! We met with Tara and immediately felt a connection and she recommended we try the Bavarian Cream cake. AMAZING! We selected vanilla and AND chocolate for each tier. Everyone at our wedding completely loved the cake and we had extra so some people took some to go.
Highly recommend!

For the service we purchased them (wedding cake, cake topper application, and delivery) they did a fantastic job. The consultation meeting was also amazing. They were very helpful with getting a cake design and size down with the ideas we were coming in with. Also gave a good amount of sampling and time during the consultation to make sure we had everything to make a sound decision. I would highly suggest this business for any cakes and pastries for any occasion you are wishing to get the best service provided to.

Our experience working with Bavarian Cakery was very enjoyable and mostly seamless. We met with them very early in our wedding planning process and they were helpful in the consultation meeting in talking through our vision for tastes and designs, and the final product was absolutely gorgeous. Their flavors are undeniably very good, and for the most part their payment process was easy to navigate. I would recommend using Bavarian for anyone getting married in the Houston area.

Super happy with the service received though the Bavarian Cakery! Tara was super nice and brought out vision to life after we had our tastings with her. I knew right away after that initial meeting that I had made the right choice. We had two different styles of cake (white with apricot and amaretto with raspberry) and our guests LOVED it. I had a few people tell me they went back for third and fourth slices (haha) Amazing Cake! Amazing Service! Would highly recommend!

We ordered our Wedding cake from Tara and it tasted divine. We chose the Bavarian Cheesecake, as well as, white wedding cake with cream cheese and strawberry filling. The 4-tiered design had hand painted sugar flowers and an icing ruffle at the bottom. Tara was very easy to work with and allot of help, not only with choosing our cake flavors, but giving recommendations on additional vendors as well. Everyone at our wedding loved the cake!

Best decision I ever made! After looking through sooo many cake places Tara immediately made us feel comfortable. My husband is very and I mean VERY picky and cheap. He did not like any tasting we went to because they were so quick to push us to book and they sat and stared at us while we tasted each flavor, no one would give us space to decide. Well frustrated and desperate our day was coming up quick and I dragged my hubby to our Bavarian Cakery tasting, Tara was very direct, to the point, and pulled my vision out of me. I was a mess and DID NOT know what I wanted. She asked me my wedding colors, asked me to pull out my phone, asked me what cake picture I kept going back to, and I was so amazed on how she helped me come to a design that I was happy with. Planning a wedding is very stressful and I do not think she understands how much she helped me. She then went over the flavors with us and left the room so we could taste and discuss, she didn’t sit in front of us and stare while we ate, she gave us privacy and my husband was so happy about that AND he loved the cakes, we actually were going to go with another baker that we were ok with but not too crazy about but we decided to go with Bavarian because of the tasty cakes and service. We ordered the strawberry with cream cheese icing and Italian cream, we also got the vanilla Bavarian cheesecake for our wedding. Our guest loved everything, I have nothing negative to say about our experience, if my husband was pleased, that says a lot.
