Black Forest Pastry Shop did an amazing job with our wedding cake! We ordered a three-tiered carrot cake, and our guests loved it. It was absolutely delicious, and the decoration was beautiful: It can be hard to make a cake with buttercream icing look spectacular, but the ruffled design looked exactly as described. I was also impressed by how easy the ordering process was, and how attentive the bakery was at following up with us to make sure they had all the details correct.
I should also give a shout out to this bakery's other pastries--we ordered a bunch of little treats for our rehearsal dinner, and honestly, they were even better than the cake. We'll definitely be stopping by for an encore the next time we're in Greenwich!
We had a great experience with Black Forest! Called to arrange a cake tasting - you pick cake flavors and frosting flavors that you’d want to sample, and they make mini jars of them so you’d know how your 3-layer cakes would taste with those frosting combos. Dan was very responsive via email or phone. Wonderfully nice man too, made the entire experience very pleasant. Now on to the cake. It was INCREDIBLE. Chocolate is just the right amount of bittersweet so it doesn’t taste overly sweet. Same with yellow cake - perfect level of sweetness to be a mature cake, if that makes sense. Mousse frostings are so light. Overall great experience, will continue to frequent this pastry shop for all cakes and treats!!
Absolutely beautiful cake with amazing service. The owner Dan Puffer was easy to work with, even with a highly complex wedding cake design.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
What a beautiful and delicious cake! Apricot and amaretto filling in a white cake - my guests all asked, "Where did you get the cake!?" Herb at Black Forest is an expert!
I am not a cake lover, but I LOVED our wedding cake. Dan was so easy to work with and the cake was delicious and so beautiful. We couldn't have been happier!
Black Forest Pastry Shop made the most incredible naked-style cherry-filled wedding cake for my wedding a few weeks ago. We all loved the beautiful and delicious wedding cake, and the shop truly captured the style and design that my husband and I wanted. It was by far the best tasting wedding cake any of us have ever had! Many guests told me how much they enjoyed it. It was a pleasure working with this vendor and we hope to have many more occasions to celebrate with a cake from Black Forest.
If you are looking for exceptional desserts, look no further than Black Forest Pastry Shop. This gem of a bakery should not be missed in Greenwich. I recently used Black Forest for my wedding cake and to prepare assorted cookies for the guest tables. Dan and Herb of Black Forest were delightful to work with--professional, responsive and talented. My vanilla, lemon curd and buttercream cake was not only delicious, but was reasonably priced. I've been to many weddings where the cake slices are left untouched--not so at my wedding thanks to Black Forest. Nearly every plate was cleaned.
Herb and Dan accommodated every request I made, meeting and exceeding my expectations (I assure you I'm not giving glowing reviews to all my vendors). I requested a traditional German dessert for my German family. They prepared superb stollen for the tables, special ordering the ingredients. My German family raved about the stollen and said it was the best they'd ever tasted.
Do yourself a favor and stop at Black Forest Pastry Shop. Personal favorites: carrot cake, lemon cake and assorted spritz cookies!
I needed an typical flavored wedding cake (family recipe) and they were very accommodating to my requests. The cake turned out not only beautiful but great!
