About this vendor
A centerpiece cake is an expression of your style, your values, your story, and your very identity. For a wedding specifically, your cake is central to your entire day! Your cake must be a beautiful one-of-a-kind art piece that’s designed specifically for the two of you, with crafted art that can’t be purchased online. Not only does the design symbolize your entire celebration moment, but the inside of the cake presents the special opportunity to conclude your event with the grand crescendo you deserve. There’s too many bland, dry, and boring cakes to choose from—these need to be a thing of the past. Your cake should be personalized with the eye of a designer and with the culinary expertise of a pastry chef to realize the delicious art piece of your dreams. If you find it important for your wedding day to be an expression of who you are, then we should honor your identity as a newly married couple with a cake that appropriately represents this big moment. Can you put a price tag on life-long photos of a centerpiece cake you’re proud of? I can’t—let’s showcase your story!

Connor was spectacular to work with, very responsive and customized to our desires for our wedding cake! I was originally interested in Connor's work because his designs are incred...
ible and speak for themselves. However, we were sold after doing a tasting! His flavors are unique and delicious!
If you want a cake that looks beautiful and tastes great, look no further! My husband is very passionate about cooking and baking, so he didn’t want just an “ordinary” wedding cake...
. He truly wanted it to taste amazing! So when we found Connor and his list of craft flavors, our interest was immediately piqued. We met up with Connor at a coffee shop to sample his cakes, and as soon as we did there was no question we wanted to work with him! Every flavor we tried was delicious, but we ended up going with coconut mango passion fruit, Amaretto blackberry, and Earl gray cardamom. Connor actually updated some of his flavors prior to our wedding and very kindly sent us a sample box of the flavors that had changed alongside the original flavor, so we could compare and contrast. We ended up switching the earl grey cardamom to his newly developed may grey! It’s so cool how he’s constantly continuing to evolve and hone his flavors.
Connor is incredibly kind and easy to work with, as well as very responsive. We went back and forth on the exact details of our cake design several times, and he provided us with numerous sketches for our approval. Connor is also very aware of and openly discusses the potential issues with cakes ie melting/ transport issues so that you can make an informed decision. He offered to make our cake with a white chocolate ganache coating as opposed to vanilla buttercream as that would be more stable and less likely to melt, and also provided a sample of this with his new cake flavors. We chose to go with the buttercream, but really appreciated him discussing this with us and presenting us with the option. We had zero issues with the integrity of the cake, it looked amazing when it arrived and continued to look amazing the entire night.
We highly recommend working with Connor! His cakes are visual masterpieces, and multiple people told us our cake was the best wedding cake they’d ever tasted
We cannot recommend Connor’s Craft Cakes enough! Connor is truly an artist- our wedding cake was an absolute dream. It was, without a doubt, the most beautiful cake we’ve ever seen...
, and it tasted just as incredible as it looked. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how delicious it was! From start to finish, Connor was a joy to work with. The entire process was smooth and stress-free, and our tasting experience was unforgettable- so thoughtful and personalized. He made us feel so special and even more excited for our big day. We are beyond grateful and absolutely love Connor!
We hired Connor to make our wedding cake and we are tremendously happy we did. We were in the unique position of planning our California wedding while living in Massachusetts, but ...
Connor was awesome to work with. He was extremely communicative over phone and email, he offered to ship samples to us (but we ended up trying them when we happened to be in California for other reasons), and he understood our colorful/wildflower vision perfectly. He sent us some mock-ups of the cake design, we iterated a few times, and the final product was exactly what we were looking for. The flavors were also delicious - we ended up going with 3 flavors because we loved them so much. Quite possibly the most delicious cake I've eaten.. and we received so many compliments from our guests. We are just so happy. Thank you Connor for making our spectacular wedding cake - you'll be hearing from us for every single anniversary to follow :)

ker that offered more interesting flavor combinations than the typical wedding cake selections. We were utterly delighted with our wedding cake, for it was equally as beautiful on the outside as it was delicious! It was one of the tastiest cakes I've ever eaten! It was a hit with our guests, as well. Please--if you're comparing wedding cake options, check this vendor out.

hey taste phenomenal. Every guest raved about the cake (even to this day!). I didn't even want to cut into it the cake was so beautiful. He was professional and very easy to work with. I had an idea on what general theme I was going with, shared the invitation and cake topper with him and he brought my vision to life. I can't recommend him enough.
Connor is a magician! On short notice and without any inspiration photos, he was able to create my dream wedding cake that matched my colors, flowers and vibe perfectly.

Connor of Connor's Cakes is excellent at being responsive to his clients desires and executing the vision better than imagined. Our cake for the wedding was cascading over the top ...
with the most beautiful, unique flowers. Our guests enjoyed the WORK OF ART and it was delicious. It felt as if no one ever had such a special cake. The frosting top notch ! The gluten free blueberry basil- moist, flavorful and blended well with the frosting. We should have ordered abigger cake because not one crumb was left. Connor really puts himself out in every way with proffessionalism , punctuality and quality.
Wow wow wow!! Best Cake I literally have ever had!! So tasty. Not sweet and sugary. Definitely will recommend him as a baker for future brides …
Such a great experience with Connor! Not only were his cakes all beautiful to look at, but the taste was above and beyond anything we’ve ever had—and we’re big foodies! Professiona...
l, sincere and thorough!
Connor continues to outdo himself Time after time. He made a cake for my Mom’s birthday and it was nothing but perfection. There is no way that I can eat any other cake than Connor...
s cake because of the craft flavor and close attention to detail. If there had to be one word to describe Connor and his craft cakes it would be precision. His ability to meet the needs of the consumer is unbeatable. Not only does he deliver on everything you could ever want, but he over delivers on all expectations. After being able to experience Connor’s Craft Cakes there is no other provider that will care, craft, creatively, and consciously pay close attention on how to supersede the expectations of the customer. This will truly be an invest that will provide an ROI that you will never forget.
Let me start by saying I'm actually not much of a cake person - I prefer cookies and ice cream ;) but just from the looks of Connor's cakes, I HAD to try. I was so glad I ordered o...
ne and honestly, it was almost too gorgeous to eat. It was a beautiful marbled purple color (my favorite), with my favorite flowers on top (real ones!!). It was stunning. Then - the taste. I almost can't even describe it. It MELTED in my mouth. The honey lavender was just the right amount of each flavor and I just couldn't get enough! We saved some and 3 months later are still taking bites from it out of the freezer. It's so dang good. Easiest recommendation of my life. PLUS, Connor is an absolute gem to work with!!!
