Butterfly Bakeshop did an amazing job on my geode wedding cake. It was not only aesthetically pleasing but absolutely delicious. My fiance and I come from two completely different cultures and they were able to meld the two together for a knock out wedding cake of our dreams! They also let us sample wedding cake in the convenience of own home to pick your favorite flavors. I highly recommend!
Butterfly Bakeshop designed a beautiful and delicious cake that was exactly what we wanted. We liked the fact that they offered a wide variety of flavors and delivered the cake tastings to us so that we could taste them at home on our schedule. They were able to design the perfect cake based on our inspiration photos that we provided. We also really liked the fact that they provided us with a separate small cake for our one year anniversary. Butterfly Bakeshop dlievered a cake that looked and tasted wonderful!
Butterfly Bakeshop makes the most delicious cakes we, or any of our wedding guests, have ever tasted. For our wedding, we went with 3 different flavor combinations and 5 tiers: vanilla with dulce de leche; chocolate with raspberry jam; and lemon red velvet with cream cheese. Multiple guests have reached out to us since the wedding telling us they will be dreaming about that cake for years to come. And so will we. Each layer was positively scrumptious—fresh, delicious, creamy, decadent. The list goes on. We cannot wait to taste it again on our one-year anniversary! Plus the cake itself was stunningly beautiful, and the staff were great to work with while we were planning. We thoroughly enjoyed our at-home tasting experience (they prepared mini-cupcake versions of the combinations that we wanted to try out and personally delivered them to us on our chosen day). We absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful, delicious cake that is worth bragging about!
Our cake was simple, elegant, and DELICIOUS! We wanted an affordable cake because we were also serving Italian pastries. Butterfly Bakeshop exceeded our expectations! We ordered a la carte, deciding on a petite two lemon cake with vanilla buttercream to display and cut as bride and groom, and a sheet cake for the caterer to cut and serve to our guests. Honestly, everyone raved about the cake. Butterfly can do far more intricate cakes, as well, but they did simple just beautifully. And you will have so much fun picking out your tasting cupcakes!
I would highly recommend Butterfly Bakeshop for your wedding cake. We were looking for a small cake for our destination wedding in New York City. I found Butterfly Bakeshop online and had never had something from their bakery. We were not disappointed. From the beginning, it was super easy to work with them. They had great suggestions and really worked with us to make sure our cake was everything we wanted it to be.
We were able to customize and make it exactly what we wanted for the price we wanted. We ended up with two-tiered brushed stoke cake. The bottom layer was chocolate with a chocolate buttercream filling and the top layer was lemon with raspberry filling. The cake was stunning! The cake itself was moist, the fillings were to die for and the buttercream... YUM! I can't wait to go back to New York and order our cake all over again. It was everything we could've wanted.
INCREDIBLE.... BEAUTIFUL ... DELICIOUS
Our wedding cake was everything we wished for! Butterfly bakeshop did such an amazing job at creating our masterpiece and bringing our vision to life! We worked with Noelle to customize the cake we wanted. She was so attentive answered all my questions and concerns and was so thorough with all the details ( and patient with us also). We can’t thank them enough! Absolutely recommend them to everyone for any occasion!
The process for cake tasting and ordering our cake with Butterfly Bake Shop could not have been more simple for our 9/15/18 wedding on Long Island, NY. The tasting cupcakes were delivered to our apartment and we made a night out of it! We had a specific color and design choice and in the end, everything was beautiful... and delicious. In the end, we got a 3-tier buttercream cake, bottom and top funfetti and the middle tier red velvet. Cannot tell you how delicious that funfetti was the day after the wedding! Thank you for making my wedding cake dreams come true!
The staff at Butterfly Bakeshop did a wonderful job making our beautiful cake for our wedding. The cake itself is so tasty and they decorated it exactly as we had hoped! I love that they let you taste the cake flavors prior to purchasing, and even let us do a different flavor for each tier of the cake! They were very affordable and so easy to work with! Such a great find!
Delicious and moist..reliable service!
Choosing Butterfly Bakeshop for our wedding cake was made easier by so many great reviews, so here's another one. We sampled from several vendors across NYC, but in the end we couldn't be happier with our decision. We chose a simple, classic design, and our cake turned out even better than we had pictured. We had a diverse dessert table, but the cake stole the show. Absolutely delicious, as confirmed by so many guests. Butterfly was super easy to communicate with, timely, and friendly. Can't wait for more occasions to order from them! Thank you, Butterfly Bakeshop!
We used Butterfly Bakeshop at the recommendation of our reception venue and were not disappointed. They took my picture and turned it into my dream cake. They worked with me to keep the cake in my budget and it still was exceptionally beautiful. In terms of flavor, there is no comparison. We chose samples and they were conveniently delivered to me at work! My husband and I ate them that night and could not believe how delicious each one was. Choosing only two was probably the hardest decision we made about the wedding! I can't thank this bakery enough for making the perfect wedding cake for us! We will be traveling to Butterfly Bakeshop for all events in the future!!
Butterfly Bakeshop was AMAZING! They went above and beyond when creating our incredible wedding cake. My husband and I were thrilled we could do an at-home tasting (so much better than someone staring at you to see if you like their cake!). We selected a cake with alternating tiers of funfetti cake with raspberry jam and vanilla cake with vanilla bean frosting. In addition to the cake, we had a sheet cake for distributing to more guests. Our guests loved that we went for the classic (yet gourmet!) funfetti and a simple vanilla – something for everyone to love. Guests raved about how great the cake was and some even contacted us after to see if they could have the leftovers! Butterfly Bakeshop was excellent at communicating leading up the wedding, were very familiar with our reception venue, and worked with our florist to coordinate flower placement on the cake. They also provided extra boxes for leftover cake and provided an anniversary cake. I’ll be honest – my husband and I ate it right away because it was that good! We’ll definitely be coming back for more on our first anniversary. Thank you, Butterfly Bakeshop, for your beautiful and delicious creation!!!
Unbelievable!!! Best cake EVER!!! our guests are raving about how beautiful and delicious our cake was. Our tasting was seamless and the staff so very nice, professional and flexible. The price for the quality and level of care not to be beaten! Vanilla bean buttercream frosting is insanely yummy!! Massiel, a pleasure to work with! Thank you!!!
Delicious and beautiful wedding cake! Prompt delivery. Perfectly communicative; highly recommend!
We saw a sample cake at a Crate and Barrel Registry event and loved it. The process with Butterfly Bakeshop was seamless. We got a 2 tiered cake, each layer was different flavors (his & hers), with marble fondant. It was beautiful and delicious!!
Butterfly Bakeshop did such an amazing job on our wedding cake! We chose a chocolate cake with vanilla filling after trying so many wonderful flavors. The entire staff was so helpful and worked so hard to meet our wishes and budget. Our guests were raving about how delicious the cake was and how beautiful it looked.
Butterfly Bakeshop made our wedding cake and our guests are still raving about how it was the best wedding cake they have ever had! We chose a 3 tier funfetti cake with cannoli filling. It was so delicious! Working with Butterfly Bakeshop leading up to the wedding day was so easy as they were so well organized. I would HIGHLY recommend this bakery to any bride and groom looking for a beautiful and tasty cake! I cannot wait until next November to eat our anniversary cake from them!!
My husband and I were so glad we used Butterfly Bakeshop for our wedding cake! The take-home tasting was very fun with a wide variety of flavors to choose from, and the Butterfly Bakeshop team was easy to work with as we made our decision.
Pricing was extremely reasonable and delivery to the venue was seamless. We had more than enough cake on the day and enjoyed leftovers in the days following. I highly recommend using Butterfly Bakeshop!
Butterfly Bakeshop made the most delicious cake for our wedding. Our guests loved it! They were fantastic to work with and extremely helpful!
Massiel and the Butterfly Bakeshop team were responsive and accommodating. Very happy with our final product!
Gave me the cake I wanted for the price I wanted!
We chose a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and cookies and cream center and it was beyond delicious. We wanted a simple cake with just flowers on top with a monogram of our initials and it looked beautiful. The pricing was exactly what we were looking to spend and we were so happy with how the cake came out. The cake was moist, the frosting was to die for and the cookies and cream center was the perfect compliment.
Very beautiful design and could totally be customized to meet our special request. They have lots of color and pattern to choose from. They also provided good suggestions during planning process and took care of every detail. The cake tastes very nice with three flavors. Would highly recommend.
Gorgeous and delicious wedding cake! We did 3 layers of light summery flavor a like orange chocolate, lemon vanilla, and raspberry lemon. It not only looked beautiful but it tasted beautiful. Absolutely beautiful design and seamless service. 100% recommend!
Butterfly Bakeshop makes the best cake I have ever tasted, ever. Their at-home tastings are so well organized, their design team is easy to work with, the price is reasonable and their execution is flawless. The cake was made exactly how I wanted and we got rave reviews from everyone on the taste! Highly recommended.
Butterfly Bakeshop was incredible—I'm so glad we picked them for the big day! Our 4-tier wedding cake was gorgeous and delicious, but the big hit of the night was by far the groom's cake. My husband is a huge Star Wars fan and Butterfly made him a memorable cake for the big day. Our guests were coming up and taking photos of the cake all night—it definitely stole the show. I would highly recommend Butterfly Bakeshop for anyone who needs a yummy, custom cake for a special occasion.
I'm not a cake artist, but, Chef Leon is!
I gave them an idea and they did all the work and the cake was more beautiful than I could have imagined! Delicious, getting fabulous reviews from our guests.
Their website is great and they are so nice to work with. When you are planning a wedding that is so important. So, they are fun to work with and made a gorgeous, yummy cake that everyone loved...and they give you a cake on your anniversary, can't wait!
We tried at least 5 different cake providers in NYC. Butterfly tasted the best. Nice texture, great range of flavors, moist.
We opted for a super minimalist plain white design. It was executed perfectly.
So many guests commented about how surprisingly delicious the wedding cake was, because too often they're disappointing.
Butterfly Bakeshop is truly gifted at their craft and we look forward to working with them for other celebrations!
I didn't personally work with Butterfly cake shop, my friend purchased our wedding cake as a somewhat surprise gift. According to her, they were the only bakery willing to work with her in such a timeframe (only a month!)
I was involved in the design process, which was great. They make it really easy!
On the day of the wedding it looked and tasted amazing! We received many compliments from our guests about the cake.
We had Butterfly do our wedding cake and a surprise grooms cake (Star Wars Lego theme), and could not be more happy with the cakes! Everyone, guests and staff, commented on the taste and how great they looked. Wedding cake was simple and classic and grooms cake was fun and creative. Orlando and his team were first class the entire time. Highly recommend!
We were decidedly thrilled with the cake we ordered and received from Butterfly Bakeshop. Not only did our guests love it, but some of them who never eat cake or sweets went back for seconds and thirds. The cake is moderately priced and affordable, and yet it was just stunningly gorgeous and pleasing to the palate.
Butterfly Bake Shop created my beautiful wedding cake for my 8/29/15 wedding in NYC. It is safe to say that I had written to over a dozen bakeries, and I found Stacy and her team to be the most fair, honest and responsive of all of my inquiries. We received everything we asked for, and the cake was absolutely exceptional. Even after a few drinks, surrounded by family, friends and cameras, my groom and I both exclaimed to eachother when we cut the cake, "wow that cake is amazing!" Thank you Butterfly Bake Shop for your responsiveness, willingness to create my unique vision and delivering my cake on time to my venue! I look forward to working with you for future celebrations!
After several lackluster tastings that left me with little more than outrageous price quotes, I was so relieved to work with the kind and talented staff at Butterfly Bakeshop. I wasn't the type of bride who wanted to spend days, hours or even minutes thinking about a cake--I wanted it to look pretty and taste good. After communicating those sentiments to the staff, along with my preferred budget, there was a quick proposal--I signed immediately. Our cake was beautiful, tasted fantastic, and did not cause me stress for a fraction of a moment.
We sampled a lot of bakeries in NYC prior to selecting Butterfly. I'm so glad we went with them. It was definitely the best cake we tried. Our reception was so hectic that I didn't get to eat any cake that night. But I had two pieces for breakfast the next morning. It was delicious!
We were looking for a budget bakery, we had a very small wedding (30 people) and did not need mandatory three layers. Butterfly worked with my budget, were professional, and the cake was divine. We ordered a red velvet cake with a buttercream icing. It was beautiful. Could not have asked for anything more.
They were awesome! Super fast responses, cake was designed exactly as we wanted it. They even drive 150 miles through a mountain to deliver it in perfect condition!
Kindness and quality prevail. From the initial contact to the tasting and final design the staff are wonderful to work with. They make each bride and groom feel special and go overboard to work within one's budget without sacrificing beauty and taste. Their cake was elegant and absolutely delicious. The cake is moist and the buttercream is perfection.....not cloyingly sweet. Guests actually asked for seconds & as hard as it may be to believe, one month later, people are still talking about. Butterfly Bakeshop
are the Dream Cream Team !
The last thing you want for your wedding is to have to worry about the cake, and Butterfly made everything easy. I never set foot in butterfly, or tasted anything of theirs before it arrived, but only had conversations over email, basically took a leap of faith, and yet they managed to get us exactly what we wanted. Our wedding was 75 people, so we had a small white square cutting cake with a large peony flower (the flower was breathtakingly beautiful, even prettier than the website example) to serve to family, and then cupcakes containing the same fillings for the rest of the guests. The cake was absolutely gorgeous, the filling was delicious, and the cupcakes were FANTASTIC, the guests kept commenting on how good they were. Everything arrived ahead of time, with frequent communication between Butterfly and our reception venue. Furthermore it was surprisingly affordable, especially for NYC. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
We were referred to Butterfly by a friend who is an event coordinator that knew we wanted a great cake on a budget. We are so happy! We did the cake a la carte and it was amazing! Everything about the process was great, from the ease of the cake tasting to go, the ordering and payment process, coordination of delivery, etc. the cake itself was amazing and beautiful, not to mention delicious and fresh. Our guests said it was the best wedding cake they ever had. My only regret is that in the craziness of the night, the only piece I got to eat was the small bite my new husband fed to me! I've been dreaming about it ever since. Thank you Butterfly Bakeshop!
I used Butterfly Bakeshop for my wedding cake. The cake was delicious. Everyone loved it and several people commented on the variety / tastiness of the flavors.
We opted for a thin band with each tier (3 of them) in a different color: red, orange, yellow with three roses on top. The flower/band looked really good with our flower \ huppah colors.
Butterfly Bakeshop was easy to work with, and were responsive to questions / design suggestions. They were also significantly less per slice than other cake companies I researched. If I every need a custom cake again, I would not hesitate to use Butterfly Bakeshop again.
We ordered a small cutting cake (chocolate buttercream with vanilla cake) and 180 cupcakes for our guests with various flavors (cookies and cream, peanut butter, passion fruit, and Aztec chocolate). Everything was DELICIOUS and very affordable. We actually had the cupcakes double as favors (using those cute boxes) and made our OWN cupcake tiers from a Dollar Store to cut costs. Gorgeous.
The service also made Butterfly Bakeshop an easy choice. I love the woman who works there -- she spent a ton of time talking to us during our tasting and was very helpful.
After the wedding, we froze the leftover cupcakes and ate them for dinner for days after the wedding - so delicious.
I never remember wedding cakes/cupcakes, but you can't forget a dessert from Butterfly Bakeshop! Well done!!!
Butterfly Bakeshop was excellent and easy to work with. All of my communications with them were responded to promptly, and all three of the women I worked with were incredibly helpful and kind, whether it was by email or over the phone. The cake was truly delicious (we had a vanilla-orange cake, which I highly recommend)! We had the most simple design possible (by our choice), so I can't speak truly to their design prowess - but it looked lovely, and was just as we wanted. I will point out that if your cake is under $500, they do charge $50 for the tasting (which are two bite-size cupcakes for each flavor); but it's pretty easy to bump it over that mark, and then the tasting is included. Highly recommended!
We couldn't have been happier with the entire experience. Working with Stacy and Kimberly was great. They answered all the questions we had, offered suggestions and were always quick to reply. The cake itself was sooooo delicious...I feel like every single guest commented on it and we couldn't have been happier to hear that. My husband and I both have a sweet tooth so the cake was a big deal for us. We tried 2 other places before a friend recommended Butterfly Bakeshop and once we tried their samples we knew it was a home run. The delivery went smooth (we got married in NYC) and they offered very specific, detailed instructions on how to store the cake and serve it at perfect room temeprature.
Our design was pretty simple/clean but it still looked beautiful. We were thrilled with the whole experience...A+ for the entire team at Butterfly Bakeshop - thank you for making our special night even sweeter!!!
Butterfly bakeshop was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end of the process. Our cake was not only beautiful but also DELICIOUS !!!!! We received many compliments!!!
The team at Butterfly Bakeshop, including Kimberly who coordinated our order is simply wonderful! We waited a litttttle late to order our cake, and they worked with us quickly to supply a beautiful and delicious cake for our wedding. The at-home tasting process is smart and easy, and the cake was absolutely perfect for our night!
Butterfly Bakeshop was an absolute pleasure to work with. They understood exactly what we were looking for. The cake design was simple and elegant. We chose vanilla cake with Nutella buttercream alternating with a layer of chocolate cake and chocolate buttercream, and both tasted absolutely delicious. My husband and I received so many compliments and we were very happy with our cake.
Butterfly Bakeshop is absolutely amazing! I planned my wedding from Florida and they were very accommodating and helpful. My cake was beautiful and tasted even better than it looked. They also gave the best price of everyone I contacted. I will recommend them to any and everyone.
I found a picture of a wedding cake I fell in love with and Butterfly Bakeshop replicated the wedding cake perfectly and scaled it down to size for my wedding with 40 guests. Everyone at my wedding raved about the wedding cake and said not only was it beautiful, the cake and buttercream had excellent texture, moisture and flavor. Quite simply, everyone loved it. Butterfly Bakeshop makes incredible cakes, their prices are reasonable and they are a pleasure to work with.
We chose a small but intricate cake and it came out beautifully - our photos are amazing and the cake was delicious!
The team was very responsive and extremely professional - it was a pleasure working with them and I highly recommend them to other brides.
Butterfly Bakeshop was such a find; it was very overwhelming finding a bakery in NYC that would do a relatively small wedding cake (35 guests) for a reasonable price. Many places flat out told me that it was not worth the effort to make a cake so small. Butterfly though was as accommodating as could be -- especially helpful since I don't live in NYC but was getting married there. Our tasting was incredible (and free! a rarity); their unique flavor combinations cannot be found anywhere else. We wound up going with a simple Swiss dot with twisted rope design, and the cake was so pretty! We had a lemon cake with honey-ginger buttercream filling -- perfect for summer. Everyone was RAVING about how delicious the cake was. And lastly, Butterfly was significantly cheaper than any other bakery - in fact, the final product, including delivery, was close to $200 cheaper than any other bakery I could find. An absolute gem of a business!
Butterfly Bakeshop makes it easy! The guide to building your own cake within your budget is unlike any other vendor and so user friendly. The cakes we had tasted delicious and everyone loved it. We kept it very simple, but the 4-tiered cake looked beautiful.
What an awesome experience it was to use Butterfly Bakeshop for my wedding cake! They listened to exactly what I wanted, made suggestions based on the info I gave them, and overall helped with everything!
We went in for a tasting and the cake was absolutely delicious! I had MANY guests tell me they usually do not like wedding cake and that this one was delish! We went with a lemon cake with raspberry jam filling and a vanilla cake with raspberry buttercream!
We had a 3 tier rectangular cake by the way!
The cake once it arrived was stunning!!!! It looked better than I could have imagined :)
Could not have been happier with Butterfly Bakeshop and I absolutely recommend them 100% and will use them again if I ever need a fancy cake!
On our wedding day we agonized over every detail to make sure things were just perfect. And everything came off just as we planned - perfectly. But now, two weeks after the wedding, it seems the one thing people remember and talk about the most is the cake! Now, granted, it WAS the best wedding cake by far, according to...well, EVERYONE... But hey what about all that other stuff? You mean I could have ONLY ordered a Butterfly Bakeshop cake and that's all I would have needed to make this a memorable event that everybody talks about for weeks? NOW you tell me!
Take all the stress out of the cake decision - just order from Butterfly. Seriously, just do it.
Having researched many bakeries in search of a great wedding cake we kept coming across Butterfly Bakeshop.
Upon contacting the shop and speaking with Sarah we knew we had made the right decision to move forward with them. Sarah did a great job of communicating with us over all the details. They worked with us on a design for the cake which implemented our monogram from the invitation along with our wedding colors and flowers. Calla Lilies topped off the cake.
Sarah invited us to the shop for a tasting which was very helpful and of course very delicious. It was a hard choice to make given cake, frosting and a selection of fillings. It was all well worth it when the big day finally came and we received so many compliments. Though not exorbitant in price it was money well spent.
I just can't say enough about Butterfly Bakeshop.
We asked for a custom caked based on the painting The Kiss. Our vision was surpassed 10 times over. We couldn't have dreamt up a better cake. More than that, it was delicious!
I would recommend Butterfly Bakeshop to anyone. More than that, if they were to choose someone else I would do everything I could to talk them out of it. From the tasting to the delivery to the visual appeal and deliciousness this truly was a cake worth remembering.
Butterfly Bakeshop and their fantastic cake played a huge role in making our special day even more special.
THANK YOU GUYS!!!!
It was a pleasure to work with Sarah at Butterfly Bake Shop. The cake turned out beautifully, exactly as I had envisioned - and it was absolutely delicious. We went the a la carte route, and chose a 3 tier cake with ribbons and roses. There were so many flavors to choose from, but we ultimately went with marble cake/cookies and cream filling. Delicious!! And, best of all, very reasonably priced for NYC. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Butterfly to anyone looking for a special occasion cake.
I just had my wedding over the weekend - I had put off looking for a bakery for my wedding cake, but Sarah and her team at Butterfly Bakeshop were so accommodating, helpful and easy to work with. They created a cake sample kit for my husband and me, and they also worked with the venue to work out the delivery of the cake - one less thing for me to worry about! And they also had a great value for cakes, which was like the icing on the cake!!
Thank you so much!
Butterfly Bakeshop made the most delicious wedding cake for my wedding last Friday night. I ordered their chocolate cake with buttercream vanilla frosting, not only was it delicious but it was beautiful as well. I am so happy with my choice of Butterfly Bakeshop, I would highly recommend it to any future brides!
We were getting very disheartened when trying to find our wedding cake until we met Sarah from Butterfly Bakeshop. she was so responsive and helpful.
We were looking for simple elegant cake which should have been easy to find in NYC but Butterfly was the ONLY place we found that could possibly deliver that. Truth be told we were still skeptical when we went for our tasting since it seemed too good to be true that you could do an ala carte cake that was going to taste great as well.
We were beyond surprised and knew we found our cake before we even left our tasting. The biggest challenge we had at that point was narrowing down the choices. Sarah was beyond accommodating and helpful in helping us finalize each layer as far as cake and filling-- The final product was perfect not just visually and in decoration but the tastes were just as amazing as we remembered and all of our guests remarked on how much they enjoyed the cake! We highly recommend working with Sarah at Butterfly and look forward to the next occasion we have to work with her.
Found Butterfly Bakeshop while looking for bakery for our wedding cake. The owner's video so inspired me that I wanted them to do our cake. Sarah is a "Gem"! She helped me fine tune the design from a traditional magnolia theme to a wonderful New York Skyline theme. All of our guest raved about the design and once they tasted the cake, they were blown away! They all said it was the best wedding cake they have ever eaten. Coming from a bunch of Southern cooks that's a BIG compliment! Thanks Butterfly Bakeshop and Sarah for making our 32 year wait for a "same sex wedding" more than perfect! It was a dream come true and you helped!
We recently worked with Butterfly Cakeshop on a surprise wedding. The event was one we will never forget and the cake that we designed with Butterfly Bakeshop was INCREDIBLE! Sarah was SO easy to work with, they delivered on time and the cake tasted fantastic! I highly recommend the Butterfly bakeshop for your next big event...and can't wait to work with them again!

My wedding cake was delicious! I cannot wait to get a slice on my 1 year anniversary.
We were so thrilled with the outcome of our wedding cake from Butterfly Bakeshop! Our pictures were were framed with a film border (sprocket holes and all) on all three tiers with a special quote on the middle tier. The top had 2 film roll canisters with the film cascading down the side of the cake with more of our pictures on the rolls of film. It was more beautiful and colorful than we could've planned ourselves!
Butterfly Bakeshop was a joy to work with and so professional and helpful throughout the whole process and kept my stress level down concerning the cake. Not only was the cake beautiful, it was so delicious as well - orange vanilla cake and passionfruit filling -- YUMM!
Butterfly Bakeshop, and in particular, Sarah - were wonderful. Sarah answered my countless questions and volleyed several emails back and forth while we created a new cake they had not done before. I had a very special surprise request for my husband and they delivered. Everyone at the wedding was surprised and impressed by the detail of the eagle and the sharp red of the cake. Spot on Butterfly - thank you!
I highly recommend this bakery! They offer amazing choices for every palette! Our cake was a three-tiered cake, one layer chocolate with raspberry jam and two layers vanilla with vanilla bean frosting. ALL of our guests completely raved about it! They are extremely reasonable, and the cake looked so beautiful. Thank you!
Butterfly Bakeshop delivered the cake on time. The cake was delicious my guests loved it. It looked just like the picture and was perfect. I will use this bakery for all my events. Thank you Butterfly Bakeshop. You made my wedding very special.
Butterfly Bakeshop made the most stunning cake for my wedding recently. Everyone at the dinner commented on how beautiful and wonderful it tasted. More than half of our guests asked for their contact after the dinner. I highly recommend them to every bride.
Butterfly Bakeshop made the most beautiful and delicious wedding cake for out October wedding. We dealt mostly with Diana, who was a pleasure. Everything from the cake tasting to the final product was a wonderful experience. We even changed the design of our cake a few weeks before the wedding and Butterfly Bakeshop accommodated the change without any fuss.
The end result was the most gorgeous cake. And it was beyond delicious. We had a white cake with both chocolate and salted caramel buttercreams. The best cake I've ever eaten.
I'm already trying to think of upcoming occasions to have them make another cake for me!
UPDATE:In addition to all listed below, another reason we love these folks: We were in a major flood zone for Hurricane Sandy in downtown Manhattan. We had saved the top of our wedding cake for our one year anniversary but when the power in our freezer went out for a week, so went our cake topper. We told our story to Butterfly, and they offered a no-charge replacement on our next anniversary. It's the little touches and good deeds in a weary world that make folks like this stand out.
We ordered a 4-layered red velvet cake with cream cheese icing on the inside and buttercream frosting on the outside. The whole process from the first cake tasting to the delivery was super simple, and they gave me exactly what I wanted. I've heard interesting stories about the actual taste of wedding cakes and was very surprised when mine tasted....AWESOME! In fact, every last piece was gone in no time and we received so many compliments on how yummy it tasted. This is a great place to go to for a delicious cake for a decent price.
Even people who were self-proclaimed cake haters liked this cake...and I was totally skeptical about it just because it was not very expensive and I did not have time to shop around too much. The service was excellent though and the product was incredible. I can't recommend this bakeshop enough!
Butterfly Bakery was so helpful and the prices are so reasonable. I would totally recommend them!!
We got married at the Central Park Boathouse this September and were ecstatic by how delicious and beautiful our cake was. We asked for it to be classicly done with pink flowers cascading. It was perfect! Also, we went with the chocolate cake and the bourbon pecan praline flavor. It was outrageous! Definitely try it. Finally, I just want to say that Diana was wonderful to work with. She accomodated everythign from my budget to the design and it was all seamless. Highly recommend!!
I was recommended Butterfly Bakeshop from the florist we were using and I couldn't have been more pleased. The Office Manager Diana was a pleasure to work with. She was very professional and made me feel 100% comfortable that I was going to get exactly what I asked for. The cake was gorgeous, exactly as we'd discussed but most of all, it tasted fantastic. The guests as well as the groom and myself ate every last bit of it :). Thank you Butterfly Bakeshop for helping making my wedding day a success!!
I was recommended Butterfly Bakeshop for my sculpted grooms cake for the rehearsal dinner and could not have been more pleased with them. Diana was extremely helpful setting everything up and the cake came out amazing, every single guest raved about it. Not only did it come out amazing it was one of the best tasting cakes ever! Thank you so much!!
I was very nervous as I was planning my wedding in NYC from London, where I am living. Diana was incredible and helped arranged a cake tasting for my bridesmaids in NY before hosting another tasting for me and the groom when we flew in a month before the wedding. We went with the red velvet (my FAVORITE cake ever!) and cream cheese frosting and they fully accommodated our request to make the frosting less sweet. They had an amazing red velvet (I've tried many) and the pricing was really great. Diana spoke with me throughout the entire process and made me feel comfortable although I was in a different country.
When the big day came, the cake was delivered right on time and looked absolutely gorgeous! I would not hesitate to use them again for any event and would definitely recommend them to all my friends and family!
When I arrived to my venue and seen my cake I was thrilled to see what a beautiful job they did!! I am REALLY happy that I decided to use the Butterfly Bake Shop. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to other friends/family. The cake came out exactly as i pictured it and tasted DELICIOUS. =)
I used the services of Butterfly Bakeshop for my wedding, and i could not be happier.
Thank you Diana!
I was just married at the beginning of September and Butterfly Bakeshop made our cake. Not only was it delicious (vanilla cake with passion fruit filling...yep, that's right!) but it was beautiful. I wanted a simple design, which I got, and classic white buttercream, which was so smooth it looked like fondant. Diana was a pleasure to work with as well. She made the whole process extremely easy and I had no worries about the cake, as I headed into my wedding day. We got a lot of comments from guests afterwords about how good it was too which we were thrilled to hear.
This by far was the absolute best experience of my entire wedding. I met with Butterfly Bakeshop and instantly knew that they were whom I wanted to hire. They were so professional, responded so fast, the tasting went amazing and they met all our demands. We ordered mini cakes for our guests different flavors and with our initials on it and it was the only thing guests left talking about. On top of their amazing design on the mini cakes and our big cake, it was the most delicious cake I have ever tasted! We could not stop eating it after the wedding... Vanilla cake with Dulce de leche and guava center and vanilla butter-cream... delicious!
Butterfly Bakeshop was the first vendor my wife (to be) and I met with to discuss our needs for a wedding cake. We were having a cocktail party reception and wanted the cake to reflect the friendly and non-traditional style of our ceremony and reception. No fondant was the rule of the day. We wanted something that looked homemade and was light and refreshing. We met with Office Manager Diana Ennis to discuss the arrangements and to sample multiple fillings and icings. She prepared six for us and each and every one was delicious. Still, we knew coming in that we were leaning towards a lemon filling and vanilla icing, which was chosen. Ms. Ennis was a real pleasure to work with, keeping the entire process simple and flawless. The cake was remarkable, we received tons of compliments, and the price was VERY affordable. Butterfly Bakeshop is highly recommended for all of your cake needs. We will definitely use them in the future for birthdays and other parties where we’d like to show off an exquisite dessert.
What a great experience I had with Butterfly bakeshop. Diana was very helpful and made ordering so easy. They were very reasonable for NYC bakeries ($5-5.50/slice!) and sooo delicious and flexible with your order. It's become my go to for all my baked cravings! Delivery was without issue and on time.
This vendor was awesome!! I called them with only 1 week's notice and they came through. They delivered a superb cake with one layer in red velvet. They were timely too! I saw them at the restaurant several hours before the luncheon making me feel much more at ease.
