carrot, sweet southerner, pistachio and sassy chocolate. Drool. Everyone loved them! I didn’t really know what I wanted my cake to look like but sent her my Pinterest board for general theme and then ended up sending her all my linen choices and told her to have fun, she did not disappoint! I can not wait for our one year anniversary to have another go at her cakes!

a carrot cake and a chocolate cake, and they did not disappoint! The cakes were so moist and flavorful and they were decorated beautifully. We received so many compliments from our guests. Thank you, Nicole!!

e information, was accommodating with the schedule for the tasting, gave us several options to try and, of course, was super nice! I appreciated that there were several plain flavors we could mix and match to make something amazing, in addition to some fantastic creations of her own. We ended up with a couple layers of the Sweet Southerner - the groom and guest favorite - and the almond cake with white chocolate ganache filling with vanilla frosting - my favorite. I told her not super fancy, not traditional, nearly naked icing. And I told her we were doing it at a brewery. It was so completely perfect. Simple and elegant. The bottom layer had a concrete looking finish, which went great with the industrial feel of the brewery. The hops were just the right touch. I couldn't have been happier.

and vanilla) was absolutely delicious! Nicole will have you and your guests in awe of the cake's design and taste! Look no further than Gingerspice Bakery.

fillings -- it was such a fun afternoon! Nicole was always responsive to emails and open to ideas. Our wedding cake was everything we had hoped for -- not only was it absolutely delicious, but it was beautiful! Our guests could not stop commenting on how unique and stunning the cake looked. This is not your "average" wedding cake when it comes to taste, either. The flavors are creative and the cake was truly scrumptious. We were so excited about the cake we didn't have any other desserts at our wedding (and we got married at a James Beard award winning restaurant). I can't recommend Gingerspice enough -- we can't wait to work with Nicole for all future cakes!

Especially considering the quality of the cake!

g our cake tasting with her, we were sold. Her cakes are delicious! The flavors were unique and fresh. After placing a deposit, however, our experience with her went downhill. It quickly became apparent that Nicole was not as business/customer savvy as she was cake-baking savvy. Almost every email I sent her took at least two weeks to reply. More than that, though, was pricing. A big reason why we chose Nicole was the fact that her prices (for the design ideas I gave her) were within our budget- something most couples try to adhere to. I wasn’t particularly in love with one of the designs, but we had time so neither of us were too worried. Approximately two months before our wedding I sent her an idea I fell in love with and she was excited about it as well, saying she could create that design. Cool! There was no further conversation until I got an invoice from her less than 3 weeks before our wedding with an escalated design price. At no point during our previous conversation did she indicate that this final design would cost more than what I was originally quoted me. I had fallen in love with a cake design above our budget and I felt misled. Why hadn’t she mentioned the price increase when we were discussing the final design? She explained that the new design would be more labor intensive, which is fair and I respect that. This, however, should have been communicated up front. I ended up settling for one of my original design ideas, which I was ok with because, budget. When I saw the cake on our wedding day, I was underwhelmed and disappointed by the final product. The result was a far cry from the design picture. Please don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t expecting an exact replica (it was a Pinterest photo, so I was realistic) but the result was not great. The piping was sloppy and she should have used a smaller tip to achieve the look I asked for. I know this because as a hobby I decorate cakes myself and anyone who would have compared the photo to the actual cake would agree with me. It tasted fine, but her decorating skills and business management skills need work.

her work. I also loved that she had gluten free options, as my sister-in-law has celiac. Our cake was three layers, the bottom was vanilla with fresh strawberries and vanilla buttercream filling. The second layer was red velvet and I kid you not, people are still talking about the red velvet, it was that good. The top layer was the same as the bottom but made with the gluten free flour. The whole thing was beautifully put together with navy ribbon and purple flowers. 10 Stars all the way!

than happy to make us cupcakes at no cost so that we could enjoy our wedding cake! We are already so excited for our first anniversary so we can order a mini cake from her to celebrate. Everything from tasting, to designing our cake, to delivery/set up was flawless and I highly recommend booking Nicole @ Gingerspice to make your wedding (or other special event!) cake!

cake was. Children were running around with cake all over their faces. We've been enjoying the leftovers every night of our honeymoon. Best gluten free cake I've ever had. Well done. I'm so pleased.

acarons for our favors and those were tasty as well. Wedding aside, I've had several of her other desserts and they did not disappoint either. She's a master of her craft and I highly recommended using Gingerspice any time you need a beautiful and delicious dessert!
