Nichole did a great job with our wedding cake! She also offers cake tasting and an anniversary cake along with very reasonable prices.
Highly recommend!! Cakes tasted AMAZING and were beautifully done. She delivered our cakes to the reception and they looked beautiful.
We used Book Baking for our October Wedding! We purchased 10 dozen cupcakes of 5 different flavors & a two tiered wedding cake (& she included an anniversary cake). We truly strugg...
led to find reasonable priced places that were willing to do a cake, cupcakes of various flavors & travel to our venue! Not only did she travel a decent trip into PA to deliver everything, but it was VERY affordable & she placed our cake decor on for us without any hassle! I loved the fact that we had the opportunity to try 5 different types of cupcakes & another flavor/ icing for our cake! We received many compliments for the uniqueness of the flavors! The flavors we chose were not super strong in flavor but still amazing! I am not a huge fan of cake/cupcakes-i usually gravitate towards super chocolate desserts. In this case we got the death by chocolate cupcakes, but i actually ended up loving our pumpkin cake with cinnamon icing! All and all i would definitely rec and would love to purchase from her again! Super friendly, easy going & great communication!
I want to give 4 stars because I feel bad, but I want to give an honest review..
First and foremost, the cakes tasted amazing. That is unquestioned. Everyone loved the flavors.
H...
owever...there are a few issues I want to share.
First, and the most important to me. We decided to do a small cake for my fiance and I to cut and save, and then sheet cake for serving. Well, we planned our cake to be a small round cake, with the "free anniversary cake" as our 2nd tier. We had talked about this with the baker, but perhaps there was some miscommunication because she said she didn't have that written down. So we ended up not getting the 2nd tier at all.
Okay, she offered after the fact to bake us one for our anniversary, which is great except that our cake not only didn't have 2 tiers like it was supposed to, but
2. she completely left out the drizzle down the sides like we had talked about as well as her telling me that she would put the flowers on for us at the venue.
So what we planned was a small, 2 tiered cake with drip down the sides and flowers I supplied.
What we ended up with was a small, single tier cake without any decoration at all. The cake we wanted for people to see, to be on display. And it wasn't even frosted nicely. The frosting looked like an amateur had done it. Honestly, I have frosted nicer cakes and I've only taken a couple of decorating classes through JoAnne Fabrics.
My caterer and coordinator told me while I was on my way to our reception that she had dropped the cakes off and left. That's all. Didn't ask about flowers or anything.
Thankfully our caterer worked with our coordinator to add the flowers and cake topper to make the cutting cake look ok.
Now on to the sheet cake. Again, tasted amazing. But it was..wow.
We got 2 flavors. One side of the cake was very noticeably thinner than the other side. Like, at least 1/2 inch thinner. How does that even happen? And how does anyone think it's okay to give someone a cake like that for their wedding that they paid hundreds of dollars for???
There was good communication when we initially ordered with her, but zero communication before the wedding at all. I knew I should have checked in to make sure she had everything good to go for our wedding, but I talked myself out of it thinking she only had one job. To make our cakes. How could she possibly mess it up? It wasn't like wed given difficult instructions or had any complicated decorations.
All we wanted was some drip icing and our flowers put on nicely.
She did end up offering a refund for the cakes for messing up the drip. She said that she must have forgotten because she's pregnant, and I am sympathetic. I have 2 children. But I also know that when I was pregnant, if I couldn't have done my job because of it I wouldn't have made promises to people I couldn't keep.
We had one wedding. One wedding cake. And she completely screwed it up.
If it had been for a birthday or something that would be different, because it wouldn't matter quite as much how it looked
But this was our wedding. The way our cake looked was equally important to me as how it tasted.
I don't have many pictures because it truly wasn't pretty at all and I don't have any back from the photographer yet, but if I can update this with photos later on i will.
Only reason I'm giving 3 stars is because
1. The cake tasted very good
2. She offered a refund
Nichole was amazing to work with. They were very prompt in responding to my questions. I appreciate that she offered a tasting ahead of time to allow me to decide on what I wanted....
She customized everything exactly that way I wanted and was VERY reasonable. If I ever need any baked goods again, I’ll definitely make her my first call!!!
Working with book baking was the easiest thing in the world, fast response times, treated us like friends and was always extremely nice, will definitely go thru her again
All 5 cupcake flavors and our wedding cake were both beautiful and delicious. Great job on the display
