Cake Fiction

ng. We had a lemon cake with raspberry filling and vanilla buttercream. It was easily one of the best wedding cakes I have ever had and we received sooo many compliments on it. And it looked beautiful. It was exactly how I imagined it. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in the area looking for a baker.

ing than I ever imagined. The flavors were amazing and the flowers were absolutely beautiful! Paula and her husband were incredible to work with also- I would recommend them to anyone!

I could go back in time to our cake tasting and taste everything all over again. I'm not even just saying it to say it but all the cakes and icing's were AMAZING. My husband still talks about the vanilla bean frosting and wishes I could buy a tub of icing so we could just eat it every night! Hahaha! The day of the wedding, our cake was total perfection. It was exactly what Paula and I had discussed and we were so in love with how everything turned out. Thank you again for everything!!!!

ir space which is a beautiful rustic barn and conveniently located only a short 20 minute drive to our venue. Paula was so easy to work with and is beyond talented. She took notes during the tasting and even drew a sketch of the cake capturing every last detail. She worked directly with my florist to place fresh flowers on the cake and delivered directly to the venue. I can't recommend Paula and Cake Fiction enough and I certainly can't wait to eat the top tier of my cake on my one year anniversary!!!

for us to see. She is very creative.She was also very professional and well prepared for our visit. The studio was spotless and we sampled several items before deciding on a pound cake with dulce de leche filling and butter cream frosting. The cake was perfect and delicious and delivered right on time. Thank you Paula!!! I would highly recommend cake fiction

understood my vision. We received a quote from a bakery in Denville, and Cake Fiction offered us way more for half of the price. They made an amazing peony on top of the cake, had tiny little Dahlia's on the cupcakes, in different colors; it was amazing. One of the best vendors I worked with and only one I've written a review for. I highly recommend them.

l their wedding date. Paula arranged a tasting which we 'facetimed' with the couple so they felt a part of the process. Cake Fiction takes great pride in product and service. They are adorable and professional. They are creative yet listened to the brides wishes and executed to perfection. The best part was finally eating the wedding cake and cupcakes on wedding day. Highly recommend Cake Fiction. I look forward to working with them again in the future!

which only added to their charm! And their cakes are so delicious that we couldn't choose just one flavor - our cake had three!

e arrived to the Cake Shop. We were impressed from start to finish. The cake was super tasty and super beautiful in terms of decorations. We highly recommend the red velvet cake with cream cheese filling as well as the coconut cake with passion fruit filling, my favorite. Paula and Simon are a team and very professional. Long Valley Town is beautiful and it was a pleasure driving to Cake Fiction. If you hire Cake Fiction you will not regret. :) I intend on using Cake Fiction for all my future affairs and I cannot wait!!!! :)

e on a pretty cake that was mediocre in taste. Paula and Simon proved that a wedding cake can be delicious and gorgeous. We visited their renovted barn (worth the trip) for a tasting and were blown away with the quality of ingredients they use, many sourced locally. We had so much trouble choosing a flavor -we went with 2- because everything we tried was so delicious. I wanted a cake with cascading wild flowers in jewel tones and Paula executed this design perfectly. She and Simon are a wonderful team and our guests are still talking about that cake!

y it all looked! They couldn't believe it was lactose and gluten free. It was both delicious and beautiful! Can't wait until we need another cake!

tunning). We chose two flavors... Apple Spice Cake and Carrot Cake (WOW!!) The cake went so fast and everyone asked where we got it. I couldn't be happier with our experience w/ Cake Fiction. From the delicious cake tasting to the final product that I can only describe with one word... PERFECTION! THANK YOU! We highly recommend Cake Fiction!

great time at our initial tasting and felt that Paula really listened to us and created the perfect cake topper. A year later we were ready to celebrate and we ordered another small cake....and some cupcakes :D. Once again, they were both amazing and I really can't wait to order from them every year! I plan on using them for special occasions for my family as well.

final cake on our big day! Driving up to Cake Fiction was actually something we will never forget, because it is located in a remodeled 200-year-old family barn in a beautiful historic small NJ town. When we arrived at the barn, Paula had already set up three plates with the cake and filling flavors we had worked out over the phone, and explained to us her rationale for the pairs based on what we had discussed. My choice was the olive oil cake (cardamom!) with amaretto filling (quite possibly the BEST cake combination I have ever had, and I honestly did not have high hopes for the actual taste of a wedding cake), and my wife loved the coconut cake with passion fruit filling. Since in the end we couldn't come to a decision, we decided to go with both-- she got two layers, and I got one. Our cake was decorated with two birds, which Paula made herself, and it was exactly what we expected! On the big day, everything went very smoothly, and the cake was delivered on time, looked fantastic and TASTED awesome. All our guests loved the cake! I'm actually looking forward to our one year anniversary so I can eat that top layer! Although the custom made cake you will get at Cake Fiction will cost more than something more "out of the box", it really was a special part of both the wedding planning process and reflected us as a couple more so than something less expensive would have. Paula was a joy to work with, and we were very, very pleased with every part of our experience with Cake Fiction.

ho to go to, so I searched around locally. I had a vision of what I wanted and paula made the perfect cake that suited my personality, and the type of wedding I wanted. The consultation was really great and paula went through every detail of her product, from ingredients used to the look I wanted and her ideas of how we could make it my dream cake. Everyone loved how the cake looked and specially how it tasted. We chose the coconut lime cake with passion fruit filling and it was to die for. Some people say cake its just cake but a wedding cake plays a really important role in the wedding and my rustic/ romantic cake really impressed me and my guests. I highly recommend cake fiction for anyone looking for a wow factor in a cake!

knew I had someone professional and accommodating. We had a theme of "wedgewood" which she was delighted to try. The cake came out stunning. We had a red velvet cake with white chocolate filling. The outside of the cake looked like an elegant piece of blue Wedgewood jasper ware. I have never tasted a fresher flavorful wedding cake in my life. Thanks to Cake Fiction for helping to make our wedding a great success. Kindest Regards Phillip

ceived awesome service. The establishment was clean and Paula was very professional at all times. I wanted her to design a motorcycle cake for my husband and it looked exactly like his actual motorcycle. I emailed pictures and she got every single detail. The cake was delivered on time and it tasted great. I had such a great experience with Cake Fiction that two years later I ordered cupcake for my daughters christening. Oh! and my maid of honor had a martini cupcake tower made for my bridal shower. You cannot go wrong with Cake Fiction; Paula is very personable and will communicate with you about every detail to make sure you are satisfied.

go through the process with them. Paula is incredibly talented - we gave her an idea of what we wanted at our first appointment. The cake idea was fairly unique - we wanted the cake in red with gold accents and paisley. She was able to sketch a prototype in about 20 minutes. It was remarkable to watch. We posted this experience in our blog: http://www.worldtasters.net/2014/03/19/cake-tasting-at-cake-fiction-union-nj/. As already described, Paula is a great artist. Her cakes are very tasty too! Cake Fiction offers more exotic flavors than any other bakery that does specialty cakes in the area (based on our search). And the cakes taste as good as they sound. We picked fillings with Orange Blossom flavor and Passion Fruit (we had 2 different cakes through our 4 tiers), and they tasted very different and delicious from typical cakes. We can't say enough about how good Cake Fiction is. Go to one of Paula's tastings and see her shop - I would be stunned if after this you picked someone else!

ious! (The chocolate fudge cake with dulce de leche cream was a crowd favorite) I had been working with another cake decorator when it became apparent that it was not going to work out. I found Paula on Wedding Wire, and emailed her a mere month before our wedding, knowing that it was probably hopeless. Paula got right back to me and started working with me right away—while on her VACATION! [Amazing is too weak a word to describe her :) ] We ended up doing a trio of cakes including a two tiered buttercream cake with flowers, a small, hand-painted, fondant covered cake, and a naked cake. They all turned out spectacular. I can attest that Cake Fiction is talented in all areas of cake decorating—we had a little of everything with our three cakes! I don’t know what I would have done if I had not stumbled upon this amazing business… A huge thank you to Paula and Simon! Added bonus: their studio is the most fabulous work space you will ever see! It has so much charm and personality.

ovided us with our requested flavors at the cake tasting and provided some of her favorites. We ended up getting 3 of our favorite flavors and 1 of her recommended flavors, almond! She loved our design and created exactly what we wanted. Everyone raved about the cake and wanted more! I recommend this reasonable bakery to anyone for any occasion!

e sketches of the cake as we went on and changed everything I asked her to change. She was also the only one that would make me a crockenbush and I am super happy went with her. A small piece of the cake did come off when it was time for us to cut it, however that has nothing to do with Paula as it was extremely hot and humid and our venue was semi outside. The crockenbush was delicious, however we for some reason didn't get a change to taste the cake even though we cut it...hoping to try again at our anniversary.

es of cakes with a few different types of fillings and given a notebook to pick a style from. You want to deviate from that list? Well, that'll be extra... I then found Paula on the Wedding Chanel website. My husband and I made an appointment. When I called, I spoke to Paula herself. I chose a few types of cakes and fillings from her very long list of assortments so that she could make the tastings fresh for my appointment. We walked in the door on a weekend- her kids were playing in the back. It's like a scene from a storybook! She was personable, passionate, artistic, warm and patient. She sketches a picture of your cake until it's exactly what you had in mind. Everything worked out perfectly and the cake itself was DELICIOUS! Every time I look back at pictures of it, I want to go back and see it and taste it again (and I'm not even a cake person!). Oh well, guess I'll have to wait until our 1 year anniversary...! If I have another function/need in the future, I will definitely use Paula again!

f books as our wedding cake. Not only did the books look fantastic, Paula actually printed out the real covers for each book and made them into an edible topping for each layer. The bride and groom on top were adorable, sitting on the edge of the cake reading books together. The groom's cake was our three pets (two cats and a tortoise) all reading a book together. It was unbelievably cute and looked just like the pictures we sent. Everyone at the wedding commented on how creative and beautiful the cakes were. I actually hated cutting into them! But in the end, they were not only beautiful but delicious. The cats were chocolate cake with chocolate filling, while the books were vanilla cake with banana cream filling. We could not have been happier with our experience with Cake Fiction. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a completely personal cake.

definitely the most delicious option. Our cake was simple and elegant, with beautiful sugar Gerbera daisies as decoration. The cake tasted as good on our wedding day as it did in our tasting months before. Paula was very easy to work with and the cake was delivered exactly as we had ordered it. We were really happy to be able to get such a beautiful and delicious cake for such an affordable price per slice.

ea to put my husband's car on a race track with some of his favorite things lining the track the way advertisements typically would. The cake came out PERFECT! My husband was so surprised. Paula even made a little replica of my dog and put him in the passenger seat. The wedding guests and my husband were blown away. Paula was so great to work with and really reasonably priced. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a fun, inexpensive groom's cake.

I had a very specific cake in mind as well as a high expectation for the taste. Also because of being in the cake business, I am familiar with the prices of wedding cakes and I wouldn't think of giving my money to any cake shop other than Cake Fiction. Upon previous occasions, I had personally experienced the hospitable nature of Paula and Simon in addition to the incredible flavors and designs they offer. My husband and I went in for a tasting and she was very well prepared with multiple options to choose from as well as a beautiful shop to sit and chat in. She also made sure to ask many questions in regards to the design my husband and I were looking for so as to make sure the cake was nothing less than exactly what we wanted. Because of my personal preference in excess shine, she willfully ordered the brooch I wanted on the cake at no additional cost to me. On the day of my wedding, if there was one thing I knew I didn't need to worry about, it was my cake. The cake arrived at the venue promptly and the minor decor I asked for, to decorate the cake table with, was placed so precisely and beautifully. The cake was delicious and many of our guests inquired as to where my cake was made. My husband and I also saved the top tier of our cake to be eaten on our one year anniversary and I must say it was just as delicious as our wedding day! I plan on ordering many more cakes from them!

ite difficult to put it down on paper or imagine that someone could make it that way. Just two weeks before the wedding day, a flower shop that was in charge of decorating our venue told us about the Cake Fiction. Even though it was a very short notice, Paula was still there to help us and offered a cake tasting. My friend and myself were in for the tasting. All of the cake samples that Paula prepared for us were absolutely delicious. After we chose the cake flavors Paula took pencil and a paper and asked me to describe what I wanted my wedding cake to look like! I told her all about my dream wedding cake and she drew it just as I described (in colors).My wedding cake was delivered two hours prior the reception and it looked amazing, just the way I wanted it! The most amazing three tier, hexagon, wedding cake, decorated with hand made orchids which I saved and will always treasure! Everyone loved our cake, it looked great and tasted even better. we are looking forward to our first anniversary to eat the frozen piece of cake that we saved! I can not recommend Cake Fiction highly enough, great people to deal with, provided excellent service from start to finish!

iately we set up a meeting and right there she drew out our cake. And the day of she delivered it and it was amazing, my guest are still raving about it, and she was so easy to work with. Best red velvet I've ever tasted

was delicious and the cupcakes were talk of the event. I would definitely recommend, and I will be sure to contact Paula for all my party cake/cupcake needs.

ith the cake tasting experience. We even took pictures at Paula's bakery so that we could remember the lovely time we had in creating our cake. Now, the cake! It was magnificent, as Paula incorporated the blending of our two cultures in her creative decoration. Not only that, she made a cake that was both vegan (for my husband and I) and non-vegan (for a good majority of our guests). Family and friends could not tell one from the other. Both vegan and non-vegan cakes were delicious!!! We have a separate vegan cake for our one year anniversary stowed in the freezer, but my husband and I are tempted to dig into it months early. Yes, it was THAT good!!

inally did not want a fondant cake because of the taste but Paula hand made me her fondant and it was really good. My cake arrived on time the morning of my wedding. The one thing that stood out for me was after we returned from our honeymoon Paula followed up and asked how did we like the cake? The truth was I didn't remember having a piece of the cake and with that Paula offered me a complimentary duplicate of my top tier for our 1 year anniversary. It doesn't get much better than that! I have and will continue to use Cake Fiction for any event that I have!

e happy couple, but our cake. No one could get over the color match between the cake and the dresses/tuxes all from a simple sample swatch we gave Cake Fiction. It was truly unbelievable. Besides looking amazing, the taste was out of this world. It was the only item of the evening that I left the dance floor to enjoy, and finish. I have been to over 20 weddings in the past 2 years and this was the only cake I have enjoyed. The planning process was not only delicious but entertaining as well. We had the opportunity to try all of the flavor combinations as well as discuss different design elements and see sketches, pictures and samples. We made a change to our design a few weeks before the big day and within 48 hours we had an emailed sketch of our change for approval. The end result, a cake we thought was only a dream. Thank you Paula for such a great addition to our special day. We look forward to the next big event to come back in for a design appointment. -1 Year Update: My husband and I unwrapped our cake for our 1st Anniversary. What we heard from so many friends was that this was a moment of great disappointment on their Anniversary. However, Cake Fiction did not fail us. The cake was left in the fridge for a few hours and WOW. It was as good 1 year later as our wedding night. Thank you for continuing to add to our wedding celebration! We can't wait to come back for a celebration cake!

room's cake I wanted. I went for a cake tasting and found Paula's cakes and fillings to be absolutely delicious. She drew up a sketch of the cake and after a couple of changes, she had nailed it. The day of the rehearsal dinner, I couldnt wait to lay my eyes on the cake. It was displayed ready to be seen as soon as we walked in and Paula did an absolutely fantastic job. SHe re-created the field at Giants stadium and added the Superbowl patches all around the cake with a 3-D Giants helmet placed on top. Her cake not only looked amazing, but tasted amazing as well. My husband loved the vanilla cake with oreo filling as well as our guest. Paula is so creative and I know if I ever need a special cake, she is the person I would turn to make it.

edding last month. Our cake was BEAUTIFUL one of the best parts of the wedding. I cant recommend Cake Fiction enough they made us an adorable and also delicious cake. We put leftovers in our freezer to save for our one year anniversary but we ended up taking it out and eating it at our one month anniversary!

ul. Paula is a creative designer - she helped us to bring an abstract idea into reality. We went to her cake shop for a tasting / brainstorming session. She gave us crayons and paper to draw out our vision, and offered her artistic suggestions. She was a great listener and a good executor. The cake turned out to be exactly what we wanted - colorful, playful, full of life, yet elegant. I would recommend Paula to anyone.

eally loved working with her. We were all so impressed with how it came out. The detail of the cake was incredible! Her pricing is also very fair.

h dulce de leche filling. Cake tasting was great, they created the cake that I desired. The only reason I rated it a 4 star was because I wanted what looked like diamonds spread over the cake in a quilted pattern and I got these small circular almost see through dots instead of bigger diamond looking jewls...other than that, great service, kind people and delicious cake...most guests raved about it.

nts of meeting Paula, we knew we wanted her to create our wedding cake. Paula was wonderful about listening and suggesting ideas that helped to polish and refine the design that we already had in mind for our cake. The tasting was a fantastic experience and made our job that much harder; everything tasted amazing. Paula's cakes are moist, flavorful, and fresh, and her designs are spot on. Plus, her husband, Simon, created a fantastic one-of-a-kind cake board that really finished off the effect and helped show off the cake. We will definitely be using Cake Fiction again for our special events. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to family and friends. Paula and Simon are great people to work with, and they'll make you feel at ease within moments of meeting with them. We could tell that Paula truly cares about her clients and it came across in her design and presentation. Plus, we loved that she met us with her white Chef's coat on. That really showed her level of professionalism. Use Cake Fiction and you won't be disappointed!

t turned out more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. Not only are Cake Fiction's cakes lovely to look at, they taste just as great too. Their cakes are extremely fresh and moist, not dry, as a lot of cakes that are made for larger events can be. I would not hesitate to use Cake Fiction again for any events that I may have or to recommend them to family & friends. Paula is a true artist and fabulous chef and she (along with her husband Simon) are wonderful people to work with. You can tell that they care very much about their customers and that comes through in their service and their stunning creations.

ons when we saw it on our wedding day. And we were very pleased with the taste. Highly recommended!
