I'm a bit of a cake snob since my mom ran her own cake business when I was younger. The only reason we didn't have her make our cake was that she lives in TX and the wedding was in IA. We must have priced out 15 bakeries and gone to tastings at... 6 or 7. Anne at Classic Cakes was so easy to work with, had amazing flavors and her buttercream is the closest to my mom's. We also were surprised at her reasonable rates! We were able to get a 4 tier cake for the price of a 2 tier everywhere else we'd looked.
I was so impressed, that I went back to her without my fiance and got a groom's cake for him. Again-- amazed at the price and quality! He had no idea and it was a great surprise. We had the groom's cake at our rehearsal dinner and it was a hit.
We highly recommend any of her flavors, but our favorites (and consequently the ones we had) were: Margarita, Mimosa, Champagne and Raspberry. We WILL be going back to Anne for cakes in the future!
