not only our preferences and budget but also fit our theme. Our cake was delicious (custom carrot cake with apple filling) and our guests said the rest of the desserts were delicious too (since we didn't get to have any)! Blackbird Bakery also accommodated gluten-free guests.

Hands down, the BEST wedding cake I’ve ever had—moist, flavorful, and just perfect. Guests kept telling us how good it was. If you ever stop in, make sure you grab a cupcake too. Trust me. Highly, highly recommend!

eat to work with, making sure we got exactly what we wanted. We did the cakesicles, brownies, lemon bars, and macaroons, and everything was delicious! Our only regret was not ordering more treats so we could take some home, the dessert table was cleared out by the end of the night! Blackbird Bakery is full of wonderful treats and staff, and we cannot recommend them enough for any event!

Happy overall that we choose Abby to make our wedding cake & cakesicles! We received so many compliments on the cakesicles. My only complaint is that the cake was not supplied in a...
box that fit the cake. When my parents picked up the cake they expressed concern that the box would not close as it was too small for the cake. When they asked for a different sized box, they were told there was not another one. Ultimately it was difficult to fit my cake inside of the fridge and the icing got smudged because of the incorrect sized box.
