Excellent Bakery. Staff was professional, polite and accommodating with my request. They allowed my mom and sister to do the cake taste testing since I live out of town and followed up with me personally to make sure that it was what I wanted. The cakes were brought to the venue as promised in perfect condition and way in advance of the event time. I highly recommend Haydel's bakery for all of your baked good needs, especially their almond wedding cake.

We actually did not have to seek far and long for our wedding cake choices as Haydel's Bakery came contracted with our venue (New Orleans City Park), and honestly I am VERY glad they did (and we didn't have to even search) because they did a phenomenal job with our cake! I typically do not like plain cakes and not only did they customize the flavors (we had three tiers, all different flavors), they also decorated it SO well! We opted for a fun light purple colored cake with lavender sprigs (part of our colors/wedding theme) and it looked soooo pretty! They also made sure the cake toppers of our cats were front and center, something that meant so much to us. Even though there was a small mishap with one of the cats falling off due to the cake icing melting (not Haydel's fault at all - it was a very very warm day), they seemed to fix it right up! I didn't even know that happened, only found out because my partner told me about it (in a funny way - we both laughed about it)! But that is an example of how well that issue was handled! 10/10 would highly recommend Haydels for your wedding cake. There is a reason they are local favorite for all things sweets and pastries (not to mention King Cakes during Mardi Gras!)! And just a note to anyone considering Haydel's and opting for a less traditional cake flavor - the devil's cake flavor (chocolate on chocolate) is their BEST flavor, hands down! If you don't get a cake layer or whole cake with this flavor, at least get cupcakes - it is genuinely so good! Extra note - I ordered carrot cake flavored cupcakes for my partner to have on the day of while getting ready and those were also incredible! So devil's cake and carrot cake - try both flavors (although carrot cake is not a wedding cake option, it is just very good no matter what)!
