They definitely have a higher quality cake because they are even delicious as left overs too. And so many of our guests at our wedding asked who our dessert baker was because they loved their desserts too! We love the beautiful cutting cake and cupcake designs that they made for our wedding, and thank you Jennifer for setting it all up at our venue!

A magnificent wedding cake! My wife Kim and I contacted Connie's Cakes about 2-3 weeks prior to our wedding and asked if they could make us a 4-tier wedding cake. Of course, 2-3 we...
eks is exceedingly short notice in the wedding world - but Mary (the owner) told that they could make it work. We ended up going with a square-style cake. The first tier was marble cake with Connie's trademark buttercream icing as the filling. The second tier was a carrot cake with a delectable cream cheese icing filling. The third tier was a strawberry cake with strawberry filling. And the fourth tier was a marble cake with Bavarian chocolate cream filling. The entire cake was blanketed with more of Connie’s delicious buttercream icing and decorated with blue flowers and ribbons. What’s more, Connie's delivered the cake to our reception venue and set it up. This involved a drive from their bakery in Grand Rapids down to Paw Paw, MI (near Kalamazoo) where our wedding venue was located. Connie's was able to create for us a remarkable wedding cake, expertly prepared and baked with very high quality ingredients and delivered to and set up at our wedding venue – all for an extremely reasonable price. I would highly recommend Connie's Cakes to any couple out there - regardless of your budget - who wants a top-notch, high-quality wedding cake for your special day. Thank you Mary and staff for all of your hard work and an amazing cake!

Connie’s Cakes saved our wedding day! The original bakery we were going to use suddenly said they couldn’t deliver TWO MONTHS before the wedding. My husband and I were absolutely f...
rantic. Connie’s was another vendor that was in the same area and was the only one available for our wedding day. We sent a request form, and after a couple of days they responded. We communicated mostly over email because we were out of town, but we got an amazing deal, so many options (included gluten free which was very important for a big number of guests), and was cheaper than the original bakery (and gave us more).
When the cake arrived, we had set our flowers to decorate the cake with, but the girl who delivered (no one caught her name I feel so bad!) referenced the picture we sent and she blew me away I was so happy with how she decorated the cake!!
I will say that the communication needs severe improvement. Sometimes it would take up to two weeks to hear back from them, and in a time crunch, it was very nerve racking.
But other than that, Jennifer and Mary and the team was so helpful! You get free samples of flavors you want to try (the other bakery charged like $20 a sample!!)
I’m not exaggerating when I say they saved our wedding day!

ting was delicious and professional. We then had to downsize our wedding, then change locations, change from pick-up to delivery, etc and Connie's Cakes was a breeze to work with. They were always easy to contact and got back to us quickly, they were so flexible with our changing orders! Most importantly, their wedding cake/cupcakes were amazing! The frosting was not too sweet, but still full of flavor! We ordered their GF/Vegan cupcakes for some guests and they said they were the best Vegan cupcakes they had ever had! If you are looking for good Lemon/Vanilla cakes, seriously consider this place!

We have been pleasantly surprised at how amazing everyone was from the first phone call and emails throughout the tasting and the final product!

Thank you so much for everything and can’t wait to come in for our one year anniversary 🥰
