We chose a simple vanilla with vanilla buttercream cake to have on the cake table for the purpose of cutting the cake for a photo, it was a simple two tier cake that served 28 people. In addition we purchased sheet cakes that were also vanilla with vanilla buttercream and a second one that was chocolate with vanilla buttercream and it was a HUGE cost savings- about half the price of a traditional wedding cake.
Bean Counter made us the most incredible cake. Not only was it the most beautiful wedding cake I've ever seen, it was also delicious. All our guests were raving about it, and what made it even more special was that it was gluten free. Everyone was amazed that a gluten free cake could be so good. They were also very communicative throughout the whole process and accommodated all our wants and needs. Definitely get your wedding cake here!
Alice was great to work with and customized our order just the way we wanted it to be! We were able to increase the size of our cake according to our wishes as well.
I make wedding cakes and it was really important to me that our cake was delicious as well as being beautiful. The Bean Counter 100% came through! We went with vanilla cake with raspberry buttercream. It was smooth, sweet and delicious!!!
One hiccup was that you need to talk to the owner directly - the branch stores cannot help with wedding cake orders. However, since we worked with her directly, everything was perfect!
The cake was delivered and set up at the venue before our reception. From my perspective, it was seamless!
People are still talking about the wedding cake! It was scrumptious as were the dozens of mini desserts and the dozens of chocolate covered strawberries. The couple only wanted a very small 2 tier cake - but as the mother of the bride - I knew people would remember the cake so we also ordered a double layer specialty sheet cake so that every slice served was the same. These cakes along with the other desserts were all devoured. Lombardi and her team were attentive, very detail oriented, excellent communicators, timely and very professional. Bean Counter Bakery is now our go to bakery and I highly recommend them.
You will not find a better cake in Massachusetts than at the Bean Counter! Alice is great to work with and professional. You and your guests will LOVE the cakes at Bean Counter, and it will be a highlight of your wedding. Cannot recommend enough. Thanks Alice!
Alice was very quick to respond to me emails, very easy to work with, and adjusted our cake tasting at the last minute due to unforseen circumstances on my end! They were very professional as well.
As far as the cake, it was absolutely beautiful and all of my guests complimented us on our cake!
Working with the Bean Counter was a pleasure. Their service was excellent in every way and the final wedding cake a real treat. Highly recommend.
The Bean Counter Bakery is absolutely the place to get your wedding cake! Alice, the owner and cake designer, made my daughter the most beautiful, and delicious cake we could have ever asked for. She is highly skilled and all four different layers of the wedding cake were simply fantastic. I've never had more compliments on a cake! Everyone at the wedding loved the cake, which was our only dessert served. I would order from her bakery again and again. Thank you again, Alice, for your part in making my daughter's wedding day a tremendous success!
Alice is friendly and extremely talented. She created my dream wedding cake. The cake was perfect, elegant and absolutely delicious with three different flavors. I recommend having Alice make everyone’s wedding cake.
We absolutely loved our wedding cake and could not recommend Alice and her team at the Bean Counter enough. The Bean Counter had BY FAR the best cakes we sampled during our cake tastings with different bakeries. We had several guests specifically comment that the cake was superb and try to get second slices!!
Absolutely beautiful display- we did a cupcake tower with a 6 inch round cake on the top to make it still look like a cake. Our guests raves about all the different cupcakes and how delicious they all were! We had a lovely experience with the Bean Counter Cafe from planning our tastings to the execution of what we wanted. Everything was so perfect! Highly recommend!
I recently had the pleasure of working with a Bean Counter Bakery and I must say, I was blown away by the quality of their cakes. The cake tasting could be done from home with a preset box of options, which I thought was a cute and convenient idea. Alice was able to take our vision and turn it into a stunning design that was not only beautiful and simple but also delicious. The flavors were also amazing (a delicious chocolate on chocolate) - our guests couldn't stop raving about how delicious it was.
We used The Bean Counter for our wedding cake and were so happy with how it turned out. There are beautiful wedding cakes, and there are delicious wedding cakes - and you don’t often get both … but you will with Alice. Her cakes taste incredible and our biggest problem was picking which flavor we wanted - try them all! They have many flavors, and they were all delicious and rich. They have many designs to choose from, and they made us a beautiful cake that included figurines of our three dogs. We had The Bean Counter on our radar based on an earlier tasting event we had attended, and then we found out they had made the cake for one of our friends years earlier which we specifically remembered loving, so it was a no-brainer that we'd use them for our wedding, and we were not disappointed. Great cake design, incredible flavor, and on-time delivery; we'd highly recommend them!
Delicious! Ate it in my hotel room and 3am and it was even better!
Alice is the absolute best out there! Not only are all her cakes unbelievably delicious, she is an incredibly kind and wonderful person to work with! I had a lot of questions and was a bit frazzled by wedding planning in general, and she was able to answer all my questions and help me through the process which made my whole experience so much more fun and relaxing. I cannot thank her enough and will go back again for all my cake needs!
We have always loved Bean Counter Bakery for desserts and knew we had to order our wedding cake from Alice. Everything was so smooth and easy, from the tasting experience to the delivery on the day. Bean Counter cakes are the best in our area (we've tried a lot), and our wedding day cake was one that everyone raved about. The design was exactly as we discussed, and the taste was everything we'd expect from our favorite bakery. Highly recommend working with Alice and the Bean Counter for any of your wedding dessert needs!
Alice was so nice to work with leading up to the wedding! She was very responsive, detail-oriented, and helpful with our food allergies. We had so many guests comment at our wedding that the cake was the best wedding cake they've ever eaten! I highly recommend them!
I cannot possibly express how much we were OBSESSED with our wedding cake from Bean Counter!!!!! Alice was not only an expert in delicious cake and design, but friendly, helpful, and communicative. We have many allergies in our family to gluten and tree nuts including myself and most of our wedding party. Alice made us feel so safe in having our completely gluten and tree nut free cake for our wedding, along with our incredible cannolis and eclairs. My old school Italian family was RAVING about how delicious it all was! I barely wanted a wedding cake before going to our original cake tasting because I was convinced that there was no way that a gluten free wedding cake would be good. I was SO wrong! After eating the first bite, I was literally more excited about our cake than I have ever been about any dessert in my entire life (which, believe me, says a lot). We fell in love with not only our cake flavors (one layer lemon/raspberry, one layer apple pie filling, and one layer chocolate chip cannoli), but Alice worked with us to get the perfect design that we wanted. Our cake was GORGEOUS and we can't wait to get photos back from our photographer so we can keep reminiscing about our beautiful AND delicious cake! We cannot say enough good things about Alice and her unbelievable talent. Hire this bakery!!!!!
Best wedding cake and a great price. I would highly recommend!
The Bean Counter Bakery did an amazing job with our wedding cake. We had great communication with Alice from our initial meeting to the wedding day. Our wedding date in 2020 was canceled and pushed back a year and we had no issues rescheduling with them. At the initial meeting they gave us all the details we needed to know about choosing a cake. We saw numerous photos of previous customers’ cake designs and were able to try several flavors. We ended up with a three tier cake with each tier a different flavor and filling. It was delicious and beautiful! Would highly recommend using Bean Counter Bakery for your wedding cake.
Couldn't have asked for a better cake or experience with Alice. We planned a quick wedding so even on short notice she was pleasant, easy to work with, and got our cake PERFECT. She listened to every little detail we wanted, she handled the flowers that I had delivered to the bakery, and the cake topper and the cake came out better than ever. It was EXACTLY how I had imagined it and tasted wonderfully, too. I can't say enough good things about Bean Counter Bakery and recommend them to everyone!
Even before we met Alice, I knew she was the person I wanted make my wedding cake. I work night shift so it was a little difficult to find a good time that worked for the both of us and she did all she could to gives an appointment that accommodate my needs. Our wedding cake it was JUST AMAZING, everything we asked for she made sure we had it. I couldn't be more happy with our decision to get our cake here.
The Bean Counter is amazing! Cake was delicious, there wasn't any left. Alice was wonderful to work with and she brought our vision to reality. She even has options for those with special dietary needs and they taste great too.
If you are looking for a bakery for your special day, look no further, you won't be disappointed.
BUY THE CAKE YOU LOVE! At first, we had hoped to spend as LOW as possible for cake/cupcakes (esp. since my husband doesn’t really like cake) & we found some places that were a lot lower than our budget but after doing tastings of 3 different spots- Bean Counter Bakery was the only one were the leftovers got demolished!! After the wedding we had sooo many people ask us where we got our cupcakes from. Family that live further away said they’d make a day trip just for some cupcakes! I’m so happy that we went with Alice! OH and the cupcakes were so good… it made my HUSBAND GRAB MORE. AND HE DOESNT EVEN LIKE CAKE LOL 😂 (also we went back a month later for my bday cake lol) I will say was a bit more than we hoped to spend originally and prices increased right before our wedding which wasn’t great, but I had budgeted more than we needed so luckily it wasn’t a problem for us.
Bean Counter Bakery was the cake sponsor for our wedding venue. Alice and her staff worked amazingly to satisfy our taste, cake style, and flavors. We got her signature cake for our wedding and it was PERFECT!
Insider: My step-daughter left her table to take some pictures and when she returned her cake was gone. I found out that this happened to a couple of people. LOL
We traveled from VA to my daughter's WPI graduation, and she specifically requested a Bean Counter Bakery cake for her celebration. I ordered it 2 or 3 months ahead but forgot to pay online two week prior to our arrival. I contacted Alice after hours when I realized my mistake, and she went to the trouble to call me. Ultimately she saved the day by providing us with one of her delicious cakes- even though they were swamped with orders! Highly recommend Alice and BCB for the best cake in town and the best service!!
Alice was great to work with. She was great about staying on top of things and walking us through the process. The cake was amazing -- our only regret was that we didn't ask for leftovers from the venue. So good!
One of the highlights of wedding planning is the cake tasting, and if you choose Bean Counter Bakery, you’re really in for a treat! We chose Bean Counter Bakery because not only did their flavors blow us away, but we were also excited to support a local, woman-owned business. We chose a spice cake with an apple caramel filling and buttercream frosting and, oh man, just remembering it is making me hungry! The cake was beautiful and absolutely divine. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious the cake was: delicately moist, not overwhelmingly sweet, and perfectly fitting for a New England fall wedding. The Bean Counter team was a joy to work with and our wedding day delivery was seamless. I’m still thinking about the cake 🤤. I highly recommend trying this bakery for your dessert needs.
Beautiful and delicious wedding cake!
Working with Alice and Crystal was easy and effortless. We chose a variety of cupcakes for our wedding day and they did not disappoint! As a girl who loves her sweets, I so enjoyed this part of the wedding planning process. Every sample my husband and I tasted was delicious! I would recommend Bean Counter Bakery to anyone for the wedding dessert needs.
Absolutely delicious wedding cake. We did a few different tastings and the one from bean counter had by far the most generous portions and were also the most delicious. In the end, it was an easy decision.
We got to choose two different flavors for our 3-tier cake, and at the event it completely disappeared! Our guests couldn't stop talking about it! I absolutely would recommend Bean Counter to others organizing a wedding.
Alice is a truly talented baker. From the day we had our cake tasting, we knew that her cakes were top quality and would be loved by all of our wedding guests. Alice was very professional and had a plan in place even as we postponed our wedding and changed the number of guests. She was flexible in changing the cake size and making a plan for getting flowers onto the cake. The cake was so tasty, we still stop by her shop from time to time for treats!
I highly recommend going here for your wedding cake. The staff that work here are absolutely amazing. I was always in contact with Alice and she was just absolutely amazing. She always got back to me right away with any questions or concerns I had. She also met with me for my cake tasting which really made everything more personable. She got to try so many types of cake ans they were all amazing. We chose Bean Counter Bakery as our cake vendor and I am absolutely so happy we made that decision. Everyone at our wedding this past weekend complmented alot on how good the cake tasted and how beautiful it looked. I highly recommend booking with them!
Alice and team did an incredible job with our wedding cake! From the moment we met Alice she was professional and so organized. We enjoyed trying all of the flavors with her at the tasting and she even invited us back to try more, if needed! Alice and her husband transported our cake all the way to Kennebunk, ME too. I was blown away at how gorgeous the cake was - it looked exactly like the photo I had showed her for by vision! Best of all, Alice's cake flavors and taste are unlike any other. We got the vanilla cake with lemon filling and vanilla buttercream frosting and it was just perfect (our guests are still telling us how delicious the cake was). Even those guests who didn't like lemon LOVED this flavor. The cake looked great on Alice's cake stand as well. I would recommend Alice to any other Bride!
Alice did an incredible job with our cakes. We selected the Tutti Frutti and White Chocolate Strawberry flavors and they were so light, airy, and delicious. Couldn’t have asked for better- HIGHLY recommend!
Our wedding cake was absolutely stunning!! We had tastings at a few other vendors in the Boston area but Alice’s cake far surpassed everyone else’s. She was always available to answer any questions that we had and provided a wedding cake for us that was even better than we ever could have imagined! The cake was delicious and fresh and we got so many compliments from our guests on how amazing it was! If she is available for your wedding, hire her!
Incredibly delicious cake!!!!
Our cake was everything we dreamed of and more! Not to mention, how tasty it truly was. They are the real deal, and everyone in Central MA knows their dedication to the craft. Leading up to it was also seamless, you can tell they are professionals and did a great job with coordinating with the venue directly.
Alice and the Bean Counter Bakery are wonderful! Alice is a delight to work with and the cake was AMAZING! It was beautiful and absolutely delicious. We got lots of compliments from our guests on our wedding cake. We enjoyed working with Alice who is creative, flexible, professional, and incredibly talented. Our experience was positive from start to finish! We would highly recommend the Bean Counter Bakery.
We had a very stressful wedding planning, as many people do. Our original baker backed out last minute. I can’t tell you how much of a blessing this was, given how amazing Bean Counter Bakery was. They were so empathetic and Alice sat with us for a long time, working over details. I was desperate to have a peeling birch cake, simple but beautiful, without any fondant. Well, Alice worked major magic. Thé cake was absolutely stunning. It was also TO DIE for, we went with different flavors for each tier. It’s about a 2 hour drive for us, and it’s totally worth it. Heading there for our anniversary cake this week. Will be ordering for my daughter’s first birthday as well!
The Bean Counter Bakery has been timely & professional throughout our very long wedding planning process. Due to Covid we pushed our wedding exactly a year and the Bean Counter Bakery couldn’t have been more supportive in this heartbreaking process. Moving forward a year the bakery communicated regularly and made changes as needed. On our wedding day the cake was delivered on time with absolutely no issues. I highly recommend this bakery not only because of their professionalism but because their cake is absolutely outstanding!!
Alice and the Bean Counter did a wonderful job with our wedding cake. We found them through our venue (Fruitlands), and heard great things from other couples about their buttercream frosting (no fondant!) which is exactly what we were looking for.
We did our cake tastings during COVID, so we took our samples to go. We went for it and tried 7 different combinations, and Alice even had a sample of banana pudding cake made for us (a non-standard flavor for them, since I was interested in a banana cake option). In the end, we decided on a funfetti cake with raspberry buttercream filling and vanilla buttercream frosting, and it was delicious! The cake itself was light, and there was the right amount of filling and frosting without it being overwhelming - it was one of the best cakes I’ve had. Our guests loved it, and even though we ordered more than enough cake, it was totally finished by the end of the night. Alice also kindly made vegan cupcake versions of our cake for a few of our guests so they could have some, too.
Her team also frosted it beautifully (a simple horizontal stripe pattern), and worked with our florists to add the cake florals for a simple but pretty look.
I highly recommend the Bean Counter to anyone looking for a wedding cake or another event cake that will be delicious and pretty!
DELICIOUS and beautiful cake!
Bean Counter was such a great experience, in spite of COVID challenges. Alice provided amazing samples and designed the perfect cake for our winery wedding. The flavors (lemon curd & fresh raspberries with vanilla cake in one layer, chocolate cake with cannolli filling for the other) were delicious and on point. Everyone raved about the cake and rightfully so!
As someone that loves to bake, having a great wedding cake was at the top of my list. I am so grateful that I worked with Bean Counter Bakery for my wedding in July 2021! Alice is personable, talented, and organized, and took the time to get to know me and my vision for cake. I also have a food allergy, and Alice took special precautions to ensure that I could enjoy my own wedding cake (and all the samples we tried) without worrying. All of the flavors that we sampled were delicious, so it was hard to decide! We ended up going with chocolate cake/chocolate filling and vanilla cake/strawberry cheesecake filling. The cake itself came out beautiful, exactly as I imagined, and it was so delicious! We will definitely use Bean Counter for future events and are so happy we worked with them for our wedding!
We love Alice!
We first found the Bean Counter as a preferred vendor at our original wedding venue for our summer 2020 wedding. However, after COVID hit, we had to make some changes.
Alice was so awesome in providing us a cake for our intimate backyard wedding! We decided to do a wedding celebration in 2021 and once again Alice came in clutch! She designed the perfect cake to go with our ocean venue.
Her cakes are delicious. I'm a sucker for the cannoli chip!
Using the Bean Counter Bakery was one of the easiest wedding decisions we made! From the initial contact to the tasting to our actual day, Alice was so amazing to work with. They were so wonderful and flexible when we had to switch our wedding date due to the pandemic.
They let us do multiple cupcake flavors and were so accommodating to our gluten free/dairy free guests. The cupcakes were AMAZING! Everyone commented on how delicious they were, which was telling by the fact that there were none left.
Alice was always quick to respond, professional and a joy to work with. I would 100% recommend booking the Bean Counter Bakery for your wedding or any event!
Our guests loved our cake and the design was exactly what we wanted! The owner works with you directly to choose a flavor and design. She accommodated someone in our bridal party’s allergy by making a special cupcake for her which was awesome.
Very disappointed in the service provided. Paid my deposit and I confirmed my samples 5 days prior to pick up and when I arrived they weren’t ready, no one had any idea, I waited over an hour for them. And still was asked to pay for them. I then responded that night with our choice for flavors and have never received a response 6 weeks later. In the meantime, I picked another vendor.
Delicious cake! So many compliments! Alice was wonderful to work with!
As dessert lovers, having a wedding cake that was delicious was really important to us. We drove over an hour to try Bean Counter Bakery after receiving multiple recommendations. We had high expectations and were definitely not disappointed. Alice is wonderful; she has so many amazing flavors and worked with us to come up with a cake that looked classy but also reflected our style/preferences. We ended up going with a pretty untraditional wedding cake (chocolate with mocha filling and ganache frosting) and it was a huge hit. Given that she had worked with our venue before, she was actually able to offer us a topping that typically we wouldn’t be able to get in summer. I think the best way to evaluate their quality is the fact that due to covid, our numbers for our wedding were down from 120 to 70 guests. We still ordered enough cake for all 120 thinking we could enjoy our leftovers for weeks after the wedding. The cake was so popular that we had ended up with just a few slices left over, which disappeared quickly over the course of the night. We are very happy we went with Bean Counter Bakery, and will be returning in coming years for some anniversary cake!
Alice and her team are amazing at what they do. She's been doing this for decades, and has made cakes of all different types and sizes. We ended up having a two layer cake for about 80 people that was light on the frosting and emphasized some natural flowers. Bean Counter Bakery delivered from Worcester to our venue at The Oceanview of Nahant in their special cake-mobile, and they beautifully decorated the cake with flowers left form our florist. There are so many details about the wedding cake that Bean Counter Bakery has mastered. For example, our pinterest cake pins were a lot of four layer cakes, so there were some artistic subtleties that needed to be addressed translating designs to a two layer cake. Alice automatically saw that and was really patient explaining and drawing pictures to us. Our families were also blown away by how the cake tasted; they were expecting a cake that was too sweet or too dense, whereas the cake ended up just being delicious.
The Bean Counter did a wonderful job on my wedding cake for my micro wedding. Alice was so easy to work with and really made my vision come true. It was perfect! Not only was the cake beautiful but it was also absolutely delicious. The cake was so moist and the white chocolate raspberry filling was to die for. People were raving about how delicious it was. We can’t wait for our big reception in July to have another wedding cake from The Bean Counter! Highly recommend!
Amazing! We were planning to get a small cake just to cut for our wedding (as our venue provided cupcakes for the guests), but after our tasting we knew we HAD to upgrade and get a bigger cake because it tasted so amazing and the prices were a steal! The entire cake was gone before our wedding ended, we weren’t even able to freeze a piece for our anniversary because the guests devoured it all!! We eat desserts often and still, a year later, talk about how our cake was the best we’ve ever had!
I loved our cake, it was exactly what I asked for and tasted delicious. They were extremely accommodating with guests who had allergies and gluten sensitivity. Everything tasted amazing, the delivery service was great, planning went smoothly. Will come back again for any desserts needed.
People raved about my cake all night- so good! And so helpful and responsive, they were a great group to work with!
Alice was amazing to work with. My husband and I had conflicting visions of what we wanted for a wedding cake. Alice was able to take aspects of both of our visions and create the most beautiful cake! A year later, our wedding guests still talk about how wonderful our cake was. I cannot recommend the Bean Counter enough, we had the best experience!
Our guests are still raving about our wedding cake (and we got married 8 months ago)!
I've been planning weddings in the Boston market for 10+ years and every time one of my clients shares just how much they love dessert and how important the taste / flavor of their wedding cake will be... I ALWAYS bring them to Alice. The cakes that come out of this bake shop are absolutely delicious and the flavor options are endless! My husband and I ended up choosing three flavors for our cake (Vanilla Buttercream with Rainbow Chips and Funfetti Cake (just like my mother-in-law use to make when my husband was a kid), White Chocolate Peppermint Buttercream and Chocolate Cake (think Peppermint Pattie!), and White Chocolate Amaretto Buttercream with Fresh Strawberries and Vanilla Cake (one of my mom's specialties)! All three were DELICIOUS!!!!
In addition to being super tasty, Alice and her team did an incredible job with the design. I am pretty particular about wedding design / décor and wanted the color of the cake to match perfectly. We chose to do some color blocking with a soft blue over the natural cream so during our tasting I left Alice one of our wedding invitations so she could use it as a reference to create the custom color for our design... IT CAME OUT PERFECT!
All in all I could not be happier with our wedding cake and highly recommend Alice and her team to anyone planning a wedding! If you love delicious dessert then you won't be disappointed!!
Our wedding cake from the bean counter was fantastic. We went with an understated, simple cake design for our micro wedding, yet it was truly very elegant and exactly what we wanted. We didn't really expect guests to comment on the cake, but MANY guests told us how truly beautiful and delicious the cake was. We loved it and our guests could not get enough either! We also had to change our wedding plans on short notice due to COVID. We contacted Alice a month before our micro wedding and she took care of us right away. We did a tasting, placed the order and on the day of the wedding the bean counter delivered everything seamlessly. It was easy, perfect and truly the best wedding cake I've ever had. We will use the bean counter again for any future events and occasions! Highly recommend that you book with them!
Absolutely perfect in everyway! Like many in 2020, we had to change our wedding plans completely. We moved our wedding (ceremony) up 2 months. We decided to give our guests a cupcake favor and have a small cake for just us (no ceremony). The Bean counter could not have been a better. They exceeded my expectations. We chose the death by chocolate cupcakes and everyone was raving about them!! One of my friends didn't eat hers till a few days later, and she said you couldn't even tell!! We had vanilla cake with buttercream for us and it tasted like it was just baked out of the oven! It is THE BEST cake I have ever had. We didn't have a formal tasting because of time, so we drove all around MA trying cupcakes and nothing even compared!!! Seriously the best cake ever!!!!
The most wonderful wedding cake we could have imagined. Alice worked with us to get just the right combination of flavors and options to make the bride and groom happy! We did our tasting during COVID and felt safe the whole time. Alice was always willing to go with the changes due to COVID, particularly after our venue had changed from the Worcester area and to Cape Cod. They delivered the perfect cake all the way to us there! The cake was unbelievable, and I look forward to using them for all of my future events! No need to keep looking, BOOK THEM NOW!
Before we even reached out to Bean Counter, several friends and even other vendors highly recommended this business! Our first meeting with Alice was awesome & she was so easy to communicate with throughout the process. We did a 3-tier cake (had about 120 guests) and each tier was it's own flavor & filling -- all 3 were so delicious!! We opted for a fairly simple design on the cake, but it's clear from their social media posts and the wedding cake binder that cakes can be as simple or as complex/whatever you picture! So many works of art!
We live about 45 minutes from the bakery (& neither of us work close by either), but I still try to make it back every few months for their incredible cupcakes, just as good as our cake was. Highly recommend - delicious cake & professional staff
We knew the moment we met with Alice and tried her amazing cakes that there was no other option for us than her. Working with her was a breeze! She responded quickly to any questions I threw at her and never failed to impress us even when we just stopped in for a dessert. I am a Covid bride, so more than once I had to reach out to “postpone” my order. She was accommodating and understanding every time. Including the last time I had to reach out, 3 weeks before my third wedding reschedule to tell her we had even moved venues! The cake was delivered on time, set up exactly how I had imagined it on the table and the design was everything I could have wanted and more. She nailed the design! I couldn’t be happier! Oh and the flavors! I. any even start. So amazing. No complaints at all
Alice was so great to work with and the desserts were the best desserts I've ever had! Our guests were all asking where they came from and wanted more! We had some changes to our original dessert plan due to Covid-19 but Alice was easily able to accommodate those changes and we had delicious desserts! Can't wait to use The Bean Counter desserts for my next special occasion!
The most wonderful cake and design we could have imagined. They worked with us to get just the right combination of flavors and options to make the bride, groom, and all of our guests happy! After the original wedding was canceled in the Worcester area and rescheduled for Cape Cod, they delivered the perfect cake all the way to us there! Now that is service over and above and very much appreciated! Not to mention the cake was SO YUMMY! Highly recommend!
Alice and the Bean Counter crew did our wedding cake in October. It was the most beautiful cake we have ever seen! Alice was an absolute angel to work with. She was very responsive and very patient. She listened to what we liked, disliked, and helped us create our vision with ease. She is very easy to work with! The cake tasted amazing on every tier. We had so many compliments from our guests about it. We have recommended Alice and the Bean counter to every single person we know for weddings or anything desert related. Thank you for being the best vendor we had!
We met Alice at our venue’s food tasting event and loved the cakes we tried. Alice left such a great impression on us that it was an easy decision to want to work with her for our wedding. They are so professional and the cake was absolutely what we wanted. I highly recommend going with them! Thank you.
Absolutely delicious! My husband and l enjoyed the entire process of ordering our wedding and anniversary cake from Bean Counter Bakery and loved the results! We also ordered some gluten free Boston Cream cupcakes for our wedding, and they were amazing! We highly recommend and will be back for more!
Bean Counter Bakery did an absolutely outstanding job with our wedding cake. Although our cake was not the typical “normal” wedding cake theme, Bean Counter Bakery embraced what we wanted in our wedding cake and completed it to perfection. Now if we ever need a specialty cake, Bean Counter Bakery will be our go to!
The Bean Counter is amazing!! They went above and beyond when helping us design a cake and stick within our price range. The cake was sooo beautiful and delicious. There was only one slice left at the end of our wedding- that my husband and I happily devoured. If you’re looking for a cake for your wedding, the Bean is the place to go!! We also have gone back several times, just because and for our baby shower!
The Bean Counter Bakery's cake is delicious, and made fresh on your wedding day (and for tastings)- which makes it super moist. The fillings and frosting enhanced the flavor of the cake, without being overpowering or too sugary. The decoration was exactly as discussed, and as expected. The cake was delivered approximately 1.5 hours in the winter to our venue and the cake arrived in perfect condition. Our guests really are still talking about how great the wedding cake tasted....and I'm still dreaming of it! Thank you Alice, and all of your staff for providing an elegant and scrumptious cake for us and our guests on our wedding day!
In my family we get Bean Counter cakes for special occasions, so when it was question of wedding cake - we thought, Bean Counter. We weren’t disappointed. Alice sat down with us and talked us through the options, and helped us decide what was the right cake for us. Tasting the samples was our favorite part of wedding planning. The cake ended up being perfect. It was delivered exactly right. It looked so elegant, the crumb was moist, the frosting and filling were fluffy and sweet, but not overly sugary. When we celebrated our one year anniversary, people were still talking about our beautiful and delicious wedding cake. It froze excellently too, which is important to keep with the tradition!
Our wedding cake from Bean Counter Bakery was amazing. They met all our requests exactly. The cake was so good there was no cake leftover at the wedding.
We had the most delicious wedding cake thanks to The Bean Counter! Our wedding venue caterer only works with The Bean Counter and one other local bakery, so we tried samples at two bakeries and thought The Bean Counter was the clear winner. Their cake is gorgeous with a wonderful crumb, their buttercream is some of the best I've ever had, and their fillings are delishious, inventive, and freshly made. We opted for a lemon curd and raspberry filling that was a spectacular hit . At my husband's request, we also opted for funfetti cake, which was a fun treat for our guests. I only wish the bakery was closer to our home so that we could enjoy it often!
When my husband and I were looking for the perfect dessert vendor, we knew right away that nothing compared to Bean Counter. The quality of the desserts, wide variety, and working with Alice were unmatched! My jaw dropped when I finally saw our cake at the reception. It was unlike anything I'd ever seen. Alice had made hydrangea sugar flowers with a blue shade that matched my bridesmaids' dresses. The flowers covered the top tier of the cake. I was blown away! Guests couldn't stop raving about how delicious the wedding cake was and our small desserts all selected from the Bean Counter. If you are looking in the Worcester area, I just want to say that I have reached out to every dessert vendor in the area. When I told them that I wanted a traditional wedding cake, some of them even recommended Bean Counter to me. I felt like this was the easiest decision we made. Work with Alice, pick Bean Counter, have a great experience!!
My husband and I aren't even cake people but our cake was absolutely beautiful and delicious! Alice was great to work with - it is hard as the wedding approaches finalizing details and Alice took it upon herself to email our venue for a final guest count which we appreciated so much! We bought our own cake topper and had our florist provide cake flowers and our coordinator left all that on the cake table and Alice handled it all. We saved the top tier but on our first anniversary Alice will bake a fresh top tier for our anniversary!
Alice and staff really know what they are doing and the cake was SO good!
This bakery was included with our venue so it was an easy pick. Our meeting with Alice went smoothly and quickly, the samples were AMAZING. It was so hard to choose a flavor. On the day of our wedding, the cake was delivered in pristine condition. It looked exactly how we wanted it to and were so happy. The cake tasted fantastic and was a perfect ending to our meal.
Alice did an amazing job on our wedding cake! She sat down with us to make sure she got exactly what we wanted and it came out beautiful and so delicious. Our guests couldn’t say enough about it. I highly recommend the cookies and cream filling!!!
Alice did such an amazing job with our cake and desserts for our wedding. I actually tasted the cakes at a bridal expo I went to the year before and they were so delicious! For our wedding we ordered a red velvet cake, vanilla and lemon mini cupcakes, peanut butter and chocolate mini cupcakes, and assorted dessert platters. We ordered so many desserts but our guests loved them and we ran out so fast I barely got to try some of them so I would recommend buying more than you think especially if you have multiple options. We got married in Vermont and they were able to deliver our cake to the venue which was amazing and made the day a lot less stressful for me! My mom actually went back a month later and bought a red velvet cake for my birthday since we all loved it so much! Would definitely recommend!
Alice and her team took my vision and delivered the most beautiful and incredibly delicious 3 tier cake. Each tier was a different flavor and every wedding guest raved about how moist and tasty the cake was. If you want a gorgeous wedding cake this is the bakery for you.
Delicious! Everything tasted just like our tasting, which was delicious. Simple design exactly like we wanted. Alice was a pleasure to work with. Prices extremely reasonable as well.
Alice at Bean Counter Bakery was wonderful to work with! We had a mountain-themed wedding and she and her team made us an incredible birch tree cake. It was absolutely gorgeous and SO delicious. She was also super accommodating when we wanted to have cupcakes delivered along with our cake, so that we could give them to some friends who were having birthdays the day of our wedding. She and her team were very friendly and communicative throughout the process, and - have I mentioned how delicious the cake was?? Everything was perfect, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Bean Counter Bakery!
Our cake was delish! It was exactly what we wanted!! She provided cookies, fruit tarts and chocolate covered strawberries too! Everything flew off the table.
Alice was so pleasant to meet with and shared lots of cake decor ideas. She had so many tasty options to choose from. She respected our budget with decor ideas but did not compromise on quality. I loved our vegan top layer of vanilla cake, vanilla buttercream and raspberry filling and guests loved the regular vanilla cake with raspberry filling.
