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!

stings 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: van...
illa 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

livered 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!

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 cou...
ldn'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 kee...
p 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!!!

Delicious and beautiful wedding cake! Prompt delivery. Perfectly communicative; highly recommend!

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!

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.

o 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 w...
asn'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 did...

ke 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 ov...
erboard 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 help...
ful 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 q...
uick 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!!!

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 f...
lat 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!
