We are beyond thrilled that we chose Coco's Cakery for our wedding cake! From the very first interaction, Melissa was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was incredibly professional and responsive throughout the entire process.
We had the pleasure of meeting Melissa during our food tasting at The Hamilton Manor, and she was so attentive to our preferences. The tasting box itself was a dream come true! Every cake option we tried was absolutely delicious, and it was so hard to narrow it down to just two flavors. Ultimately, we decided on the lemon cake with raspberry filling and the vanilla cake with cannoli filling—and we’re so glad we did! Both cakes were nothing short of incredible, and our guests are still raving about how delicious they were. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the textures were just right—moist, flavorful, and absolutely mouthwatering.
One of the special touches we loved was how Melissa worked directly with Flower Bar to incorporate the perfect winter greens and pinecone accents on the cake, tying it beautifully into our seasonal theme.
Melissa's attention to detail, combined with her warm, friendly professionalism, made this process such a positive experience. Thank you, Melissa, for making our wedding cake a standout highlight of our day! We cannot wait to eat our top layer (the requested lemon raspberry) in a year!!!
We were given two options for desserts from our venue and really preferred the flavor of Coco’s Cakery. The flavors were delicious and not too sweet and overpowering. We opted for cupcakes for everyone and they provided stands for our table. My husband also loved strawberry shortcake and she was able to create a makeshift strawberry shortcake two tiered cake for us! I am so tempted to crack open our anniversary box early but I know this will be worth the wait!
Our wedding was 3/14/2024 and Melissa was SO much fun to work with. Our venue (The Hamilton Manor) had two bakeries to choose from and going with Coco’s Cakery was a NO brained for us. The cakes were so fresh and delicious. We got married on Pi day and my husband wanted so badly to have a Pi apart of our day. He asked Melissa if she could bake us a pie and she was over the moon to do that for us. Everyone LOVED it! We brought our left over cupcakes home and have been eating them for days after. They are still SO fresh and taste delicious just like they did the day of. I could not recommend Melissa more!
Our venue (Hamilton Manor) allowed us to choose between two vendors for our cake that was included in our package. Coco's not only had the best flavors to choose from, but Melissa's cakes were above and beyond better quality and flavor. I am not a cake person normally, but we were so happy with our cake (lemon with berry filling and white buttercream). It was beautiful and got so many compliments throughout the evening! We can't wait to enjoy our 1st anniversary cupcakes this December!
My husband and I got married on 1/14/24 and used Coco's Cakery for our wedding cake. Melissa was so wonderful and offered us a ton of choices for our wedding cake tasting! We chose the lemon cake with raspberry filling and it was so delicious. Melissa even gave us cupcake replicas of our wedding cake to save for our one year anniversary. I sent her a few inspo pics and she delivered exactly what we wanted! Thank you Melissa for a wonderful wedding cake and seamless experience!
Coco's Cakery was amazing!! The cake was delicious and Melissa was so easy to work with. She followed the photo we wanted for our wedding cake!
I loved my wedding cake and Melissa was great to work with! We had a small cake and cupcakes. When we told her we were also having a dessert table, she helped us decide on fewer cupcakes than guests, which worked out great! Both cupcakes and cake were delicious and the cake was so pretty!
We met Melissa at our tasting event at The Hamilton Manor. She provided us with a cake sampling box and we quickly fell in love with her cakes and decided to use her for our wedding. Melissa was easy to deal with and exceeded my expectations on our wedding cake. We went with two flavors: the Funfetti cake and the almond cake with cinnamon buttercream frosting and both were delicious.
We chose Coco Bakery because they were included with our venue. It was either Coco Bakery or Palermo's. We were looking for more of a fresh tasting cake. When given the tasting cake box, it was very small and not accommodating for two people. At the Hamilton Manor, we were able to choose a two tier cake and a cupcake display at no extra cost. The cupcakes were absolutely delicious and fresh tasting. We even froze some after the wedding and they were delicious even weeks later.
One thing that bothered me was that Melissa uses the words "fillings" however they are not "fillings." The cupcakes do not have any fillings at all. It is just the cake and frosting. Also, our wedding cake was supposed to be chocolate cake with caramel buttercream frosting. Instead our wedding cake was just chocolate cake with buttercream frosting. Was a little upset about that!
We found Melissa through our venue and she was an absolutely perfect match! Cake was absolutely gorgeous and delicious!
Coco's Cakery was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, she was super easy to work with and made the whole process stress-free. She was open to trying any design and executed our cake design effortlessly. We especially loved the cupcake display paired with our two-tiered wedding cake. Everything looked beautiful, and more importantly, it was delicious! Melissa’s attention to detail and creativity really shone through in the final product. She was super friendly and accommodating and made the whole process enjoyable. We highly recommend Coco's Cakery to anyone looking for a talented and easy-to-work-with baker. Thank you for creating a beautiful and delicious cake that we will remember for years to come!
Melissa was a pleasure to work with from start to vision. She took my vision and absolutely blew it out of the water. The cake itself was also delicious. We are so thankful for Melissa- thank you again!
Melissa was great to work with from beginning to end! My husband and I picked four flavors we wanted to try and she brought it to the Hamilton Manor the night of our food tasting. She was personable and made sure to talk with us when walking around, which we LOVED! On the day of the wedding, she supplied our cake display and even included two cupcakes for our wedding anniversary! We highly recommend working with Coco’s Cakery and Melissa!
We absolutely loved Coco’s Cakery! They made our cake vision come to life. It was absolutely delicious!’ They even gave us a cupcake version of our cake for our 1st anniversary.
Melissa is amazing and absolutely nailed our wedding cake! From the time we met her at our cake tasting, she has always been so responsive and willing to anwser any questions we had. Her cakes taste delicious and are so beautiful! She made our cake visions comes true! We continue to get compliments on how tasty our cake was. We highly recommend her to anyone needing a cake for any special occasion!
Melissa was amazing! The tasting went perfectly! She brought us cupcakes of each flavor to try (all were amazing). We ended up deciding on a Oreo flavoring. My parents at first were like "that is a little childish for a wedding cake don't you think?" Boy did they eat their words (and the cake!) at the wedding! It was to die for and it turned out so beautiful!
Melissa was amazing to work with! She met with my husband and I at our Hamilton Manor food tasting. She brought us a few different flavors to try. They samples were absolutely delicious! When it came to designing the cake, it couldn't have been easier! I told Melissa exactly what I wanted and she made the most beautiful cake ever! She even gave us a cupcake already ready to be stored in the freezer for our one year anniversary! I would highly recommend getting your wedding cake for Coco's Cakery
Melissa is a gem and truly talented!! My wedding cake was not only delicious but honestly a piece of art and the most beautiful i have ever seen. Many cakes i’ve seen recently are trendy and look similar but i told melissa what i liked and she turned it into a unique masterpiece just for us! Her flavors are a perfect balance.
Melissa was so much fun to work with and our cake came out AMAZING! Not only did it look incredible, it was delicious too! Thank you, Melissa, for making all our wedding cake dreams come true!!
Our wedding cake was beautiful and delicious! Melissa was responsive and pleasant to work with! We were able to adjust the cake flavors and style to our preference. Highly recommend!
Melissa at Coco’s Cakery was awesome to deal with! She was able to bring samples of cake to our food tasting at the Hamilton Manor! During our cake tasting, she was so cool, and not pressuring at all! She told us that she could adjust the flavors to make the caramel icing a little more or a little less prominent. We enjoyed all of the flavors that we tried, it was so hard to make a decision. In communicating with Melissa, we were able to choose two different cake and icing combinations for our wedding cake, which was totally perfect because we each like different combinations! On the day of the wedding, the cake looked exactly how we imagined it to, and it was so fresh and delicious! Overall, Melissa was a delight to work with and we both really enjoyed the cake!
Melissa is a cake genius! She was super easy to communicate with and SO personable! She met us at our venue and had DELICIOUS flavors! What was even better than the cake tasting was the actual wedding cake! When I saw the cake on the wedding day, it was beyond perfect! It was exactly what I pictured and she took wood flowers I created to place around the cake in the most beautiful arrangement! Guests were talking about the cake even months after the wedding! Thank you so much for your beautiful work and tasty cake! We can’t wait to experience it again for our 1 year anniversary!
Melissa did the deserts for our wedding and made the most beautiful spread. Little fruit pies, dipped marshmallows, brownies, cookies, (including GF and vegan options!), chocolate dipped pretzels, a mint chocolate chip cake, and a lemon berry cake. In my experience, wedding cakes are just for show; they look nice, but aren’t super tasty. However, from CoCo’s, it was definitely the best wedding cake I have ever had (and not just because it was mine :) ), it was super moist, flavorful, and the icing was delicious and creamy. Everything was delicious and I can’t believe how fortunate we are that Melissa made our deserts. It really topped off a perfect evening — and we got to enjoy the few leftover deserts on our mini moon afterwards, just continuing to enjoy the experience. Thank you so so much Melissa!
As my husband and I sat down yesterday to eat our cupcakes (mini versions of our wedding cake) exactly one year later, we were reminded of how amazing our experience was with Coco's Cakery, specifically with Melissa. From the beginning, Melissa was wonderful! She met us at our venue for samples, completely going out of her way to make sure we felt right at home. The samples came in cupcake form as did our one year anniversary delights. This was to preserve the flavor in a more manageable portion size. (By the way, our cupcakes did last an entire year, even with a move and all!)
Before we met with Melissa, I sent her a few pictures of how I wanted the cake to look, and she nailed it! We had a 4 tier cake, but we wanted simple, rustic elegance. We added a few flowers from our florist to complete the look. Because we couldn't decide on a flavor for the cake, we had more than one! Our final choices were as follows:
Top/Bottom Tiers: 2 layers of chocolate cake with 1 layer of vanilla cake and mocha buttercream filling.
Middle 2 Tiers: Vanilla cake with strawberry jam and vanilla buttercream filling
I really loved how beautifully simple our cake was for our wedding. It meant a lot to me that Melissa listened and got what we wanted right away. I never thought I could feel so happy about a cake, but I did and still do!
Our wedding cake was delicious!
Coco's Cakery came recommended by our wedding venue and they did NOT disappoint! My husband and I met with Melissa to try the sample flavors we had selected and I brought an inspiration photo with me for the design of the cake. The day of the wedding when I walked into the venue and saw our cake WOW was it absolutely PERFECT!! She executed the design flawlessly.. she crafted a flower out of sugar that was an absolute work of art. We received our 1st anniversary cupcakes at the end of the night which we got into the freezer promptly when we got home! We reached out to our venue to see if there was leftover cake as we did not get any of that to bring home.. then again we were pretty preoccupied and wouldn't have noticed if it all did get eaten anyway. Our venue told us there was non left over and they offered to reach out to Melissa to see if she could make us something since we didn't get to have any of the cake on our wedding night (aside from the tiny piece during the cutting). Melissa emailed me and we coordinated a date to pick up a pretty nice size round cake just for my husband and I which was so sweet!...Literally! It was SOO good, my husband insisted we freeze some of it to eat when we get our wedding video back. So impressed with Melissa and her company.. I would highly recommend!! :)
simply the best. best cakes & best person
Melissa at Coco's Cakery was a saint! The process of choosing from tons of flavors was painless. She met me at the venue (I believe she works with The Hamilton Manor often), and gave us some samples of cupcakes we previously chose from a list. They were delicious- buttercream frosting is delicious. They are modern flavors and not plain.
Our cake was absolutely delicious. The lemon cake was true to flavor and you could tell was not artificial in any way. Our cake really made a nice display at your wedding and was exactly what I had wanted for my dream wedding cake. Melissa was super helpful with us when selecting a cake design and flavor. i would recommend her for any Hamilton Manor bride or any bride in general.
Melissa worked with us on making the perfect wedding cake for our special day. She was always available to answer any questions we had throughout the process. She was super easy to work with and was able to give us plenty of ideas to make the cake exactly how we wanted. Not to mention how delicious it was!!
We were so happy with the cake and cupcakes that Melissa made for our wedding. Everything was beautiful and tasted amazing. She was so flexible and accommodating and made everything so easy. The display of our cake and cupcakes was beautiful. Thank you again so much Melissa for making our dessert so beautiful and delicious!!
We used Coco's Cakery for our wedding cake and I was so happy with how our cake turned out. Melissa was super easy to work with and the cake was beautiful!!!!! It was exactly what we wanted ....and not to mention delicious too!! :)
Hands down best place to have your cake made. When I saw my cake on my wedding day I cried! It was perfect inside and out! Thank you Melissa!!!
They did an amazing job! My cake/cupcakes came out beautiful and tasted amazing!!! Highly recommend!
Melissa did an AMAZING job with our cake. It looked beautiful and tasted great. We had a ton of guests tell us how great the cake was at our wedding!
Our wedding cake was stunning! I did not want to cut it because Melissa made it look so beautiful!! And it was beyond delicious!! Very friendly and honest! We will definitely use her again in the future for other events!!!
Cannot say enough nice things about my experience with Melissa! Our cake was everything we could have dreamed of and it tasted as good as it looked! We received compliments for days after the wedding. Not only did Melissa design the most beautiful cake she was also a pleasure to work with. I hope I can use her again for another event in the future! Highly recommend Coco's Cakery for your dream wedding cake!!!
Melissa was such a delight to work with and her cake was absolutely AMAZING. When I met with Melissa I felt like she knew exactly what I wanted without me even having to say anything. She was so great at taking into account the venue, our color scheme, and theme of the wedding to make us the perfect cake. The day of the wedding the cake was exactly what we wanted and went beyond my expectations. Our guests could not stop talking about how delicious the cake was. She even gave us some little cupcakes to have on our one year anniversary! I would definitely use Coco's Cakery again!!
The cake that Melissa had made for our wedding which was on November 17, 2017 was the most beautiful and intricate cake I’ve ever seen. She made my dream wedding cake come true. Thank you so much Melissa!
The best cupcakes ever!! I’m so happy that my husband and I got to work with Coco’s Cakery through our venue, The Hamilton Manor. As soon as I saw that Melissa did cupcakes along with a two tiered cake for our wedding day, I was sold. On top of the beautiful display, which was a perfect mix of rustic and elegant to match our theme, the cupcakes were delicious! Thank you Melissa for everything, as well as being so easy to work with!!
Melissa was an absolute pleasure to work with! We found out about her through our venue, the Hamilton Manor. She worked with my mom to surprise me with a cake tasting appointment for when my fiancé returned from deployment (the date changed a million times, and she was always accommodating!) Melissa was beyond sweet, and very personable. Her cakes were delicious! She created a bridal and groom’s cake and brought both visions to life. We received an overwhelming amount of compliments on how perfect they looked and tasted! She was professional, easy to communicate with, and the most perfect person to bring your dream wedding cake to real life! We would highly recommend working with Melissa to help bring that extra touch for perfecting your wedding day.
Coco’s Cakery was amazing! Melissa was recommended to us by our venue and we are so happy with our choice! She was incredibly accommodating in coordinating our tasting. Her flavors are unique and there are enough combinations for anyone. For our wedding cake, she was able to bring my vision of a beautiful, rustic wedding cake to life. She worked with my florist to get fresh flowers for decoration and we used an amazing wood base for it to sit on. It tasted amazing and we even have two cute cupcakes for our one year anniversary. We would absolutely recommend Coco’s to anyone!
My husband and I just got married earlier this November and we wanted to incorporate fall tastes like pumpkin into our cake. When we first met with Melissa she had a ton of ideas on how we could accomplish this. She brought quite a few different flavors and combinations to our tasting, and we were blown away. We were especially surprised with some of the flavors we didn't even think about.
The hard decisions we would face: 1. how were to choose the flavor for our cakes (because they were ALL yummy,) and 2. How handle different food allergies for our guests. We had a number of our guests with a peanut, soy and/or gluten allergies, but we still wanted everyone to enjoy some wedding cake. When we started picking our cake vendor, my husband and I just assumed that we wouldn't necessarily be able to give everyone cake. Melissa gave us the great idea of doing a smaller cake, with different flavors at each level, and separate cupcakes where she could give us multiple flavors too. My friend Janelle in particular, who has a very serious peanut allergy was so touched that there were a couple of cupcakes kept separate just for her. That Melissa took the time to worry about my guests’ allergies by making other batches speaks to her incredible kindness. I can't say enough how accommodating Melissa was, and our guests were extremely thankful for it.
The other thing I have to mention was the presentation of the cakes. We were able to give Melissa a rough idea about the look we were going for and she nailed it! We received multiple compliments about it too!
Not only would we recommend her to anyone in need any kind of cakes, we can't wait to order more cakes from her in the future. Delicious!
Our wedding cake looked EXACTLY as we asked - we were completely blown away. And the taste was phenomenal - definitely better than your average wedding cake. Also, we had a guest at the wedding with Celiac disease and Coco's Cakery provided gluten-free cupcakes safe for her to eat! Coco's Cakery was easy to work with and provided us with the wedding cake of our dreams. I would highly recommend them to anyone!
WE LOVED COCOS CAKERY!!!!! Melissa was an amazing person to work with. She was friendly, professional, personable, and had an amazing attention to details. She was able to listen to our ideas, but was not afraid to give us her opinions and helpful suggestions. She went as far as to bring us samples to our home so we would be able to taste her cakes! We had her make us a cake and some mini pies for our wedding and they were all so delicious! Melissa was just an all around pleasure to work with and I recommend her to anyone looking for a friendly, professional cake maker who goes beyond the norm to make sure your cake is everything you've wanted. Thank you Coco's Cakery and Melissa!!! We loved everything!
Coco's did a great job with my wedding cake. Not only was it delicious but they were able to execute my unique vintage ideas. I was so happy with our cake and can't wait to eat our 1st year anniversary cupcakes!
Melissa from Coco’s Cakery did a phenomenal job with our wedding cake. The cake was not only beautiful but delicious! Melissa was responsive to my E-mails and was able to take our vision and put it into three tiers on a platter! We had some very specific ideas for the cake flavors and design and Melissa was both accommodating and creative in suggestions to make them work. I would highly recommend Coco’s Cakery for any bride!
Melissa makes the moist cake we have tried. I love cake and dessert, so I knew I couldn't stand another dried out wedding cake. The flavors are great too!
What was even nicer is that Melissa made each layer of the cake a different flavor. We had vanilla-vanilla to cut on the bottom, then lemon with raspberry filling, and the top layer was a yummy spiced cake with cinnamon frosting. (Just make sure your reception hall/caterer knows that each layer is different when serving so they don't assume it's all the same and only serve 1 variety.)
Melissa decorated with fresh flowers for free. Many places we looked at wouldn't make different flavors or fillings or special decorations without additional charges. We really appreciated this about Melissa.
She met the decoration requests we had. In the moment, it was very pretty to look at. In photos afterwards, the frosting could have used a little more smoothing out (you could see the knife marks instead of a straight edge frosting spatual to keep things smooth). Flavor and being moist was most important to us - and this cake met that.
Melissa provided a cupcake for us to freeze and use for our 1-year. We originally thought it was explained to us as a small, personal-sized cake pre-wrapped to be easily frozen, but the cupcake works. We wrapped it when we got home and are excited to take out 1 year from now. YUM!
Melissa also made a special request dessert for us. It came out perfectly! And was delicious! The groom was more than surprised when it came out, and he loved it! We took the left-overs home and the next day ate the rest of it!
I do highly recommend any soon-to-be brides and grooms to speak with Melissa and try her cakes. Her flavors are great and they are moist. I'm so glad she did our cake!
