Holly is amazing! She was consistent with communication through the entire process. During our consultation call we discussed colors and styles. I knew I wanted our cake to be colorful, fun, and detailed to match the vibe of our day and Holly did just that! We did a tasting to pick flavors and it was so hard to narrow it down as everything was really tasty. We went with a lemon soaked sponge with lemon curd and lemon buttercream and an almond sponge with strawberry filling and buttercream. Both layers were phenomenal and our guests went back for second slices! I can't recommend her enough!
Would highly recommend!!! Holly is wonderful, easy to work with and extremely talented. Her work is art! Beautiful work, with of course delicious taste! She will provide appropriate recommendations, and suggestions and help you find exactly what you're looking for.
What can I say about Hearth Patisserie other than it is a must! I was a bride who did not prefer cake and wanted something different and delicious. Many bakeries refused to try making a cinnamon roll to resemble a layered cake. Holly not only was able to do this, but made it absolutely mouth-watering and beautiful. For our tasting we shared the cinnamon rolls with our family it was a huge hit, nothing has ever compared to its quality! Our family members could not stop asking when they would get a chance to taste the cinnamon rolls at our wedding. It was a huge highlight of the eveing! And of course the creator of our cinnamon roll display, Holly was amazing to work with and is incredibly sweet. My husband has a peanut allergy which was no problem for her - all her products are nut free! Although we went with the classic flavor of cinnamon rolls, Holly had a variety of amazing fillings and icing to chose from - it was truly hard to choose just one! Just because our wedding has passed, we plan to use Hearth Patisserie in the future and would reccomend this bakery to anyone!
Holly did an amazing job with our wedding cake! We enjoyed the entire process with Holly--from the initial phone call, to cake samples (she made enough for our parents and siblings as well!), to discussing vision and budget, and finally bringing the vision to life. We especially appreciated her help and expertise when narrowing down flavor options, as we were novices in the process. We ultimately had two delicious flavors of cake and a stunning wedding cake to showcase at the wedding! Holly is an amazing baker and a true artist. Thank you, Holly, for your talented work :)
Holly is so talented and creative! Couldn't have chosen a better person to make our wedding desserts! I was so indecisive on flavor combinations, Holly was so patient and gave some amazing suggestions. We decided to go all out on desserts and chose to have a small wedding cake, a croquembouche, and petit fours (small bites). Everyone at the wedding was raving about them. We continue to order cakes and other pastries from Holly for all occasions.
From our cake tasting to our wedding day, Holly was amazing to work with. Everything she makes is both beautiful and delicious! The wedding cake and “small bites” were a huge hit at our wedding.
I cannot say enough good things about Holly and her work. I worked with Holly for both my bridal shower cake and my wedding cake. Both cakes were absolutely beautiful and everything I could’ve wanted and more. They were so delicious. The lemon one she makes is to die for. I received so many compliments from friends and family. Hollys communication throughout the entire process was absolutely above and beyond. She helped calm my nerves so many times by always being available through text, email, or phone call. Even when I was trialing flavors she made the most beautiful and delicious samples for my husband and I to try. The amount of people who told me that my cakes were the most beautiful that they’ve ever seen was unreal. I highly recommend working with her for any cake needs. I cannot wait to work with her for all of my special occasions!
Holly's wedding cakes were delicious and absolutely gorgeous! If you are looking for a unique wedding cake, Holly does a wide variety of styles and flavors and posts lots of photos on her Instagram page. After about five minutes of looking at her cakes we were pretty sure we were going with her - but she really blew us away with the final product!
Holly took the time to drop off cake samples at our catering tasting (which we really appreciated). She was happy to consult on flavor combinations too, which was helpful. We ended up going with a brown butter cake with peach compote and almond buttercream frosting - and it was spectacular! Holly also made us macarons which we distributed with the cake. These were so popular that they started disappearing from people's plates while they were dancing at the wedding (I suspect the flower girl and ring bearer were responsible).
Overall Holly was wonderful to work with - very responsive, open to special requests, and had plenty of ideas of her own. The final product was exactly what we wanted and we would definitely recommend Holly to anyone for a wedding or otherwise.
Holly at Hearth Patisserie was a joy to work with. Her lines of communication were always open, and our wedding cake turned out beautifully! Cant say enough about this business. Highly recommend!
Holly from Hearth Patisserie created such a dreamy, decadent wedding cake for us. We spent a long time tasting cakes and searching for something that was unique and delicious, but light after a heavy meal. Holly had so many classic and unique sponge/filling/icing options to choose from, and after sampling from an adorable custom tasting box (she made the prettiest mini cakes!), we chose a butter cake with blueberry-lavender filling and lemon cream icing. The flavors were perfect (layered impeccably) the sponge was soft and rich, and the cake itself was stunning. I showed her some inspiration cakes, and she created something that perfectly blended our inspiration with our wedding theme. We got so many compliments on the cake design and flavors!
We had a great experience working with Holly for our wedding cake. From the beginning she was very accommodating and responsive. She walked us though a really nice tasting and helped us pick an amazing cake flavor! We were so happy with how our cake turned out and got so many compliments on how beautiful it was and tasted amazing. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would absolutely recommend working with Holly for your wedding!
Working with Holly at Hearth Patisserie was an absolute treat and she did an amazing job helping our wedding vision come to life. One aspect of working with Hearth Patisserie that was unique was that we were able to customize every aspect of our wedding cake and the desserts for our wedding. Holly had provided an incredible selection of flavors to choose from and set up a private tasting for us that allowed us to mix, match, and choose various cakes, fillings, and creams for each layer of the cake. Every element was so delicious that we picked three different flavor profiles for each of the three cake levels. There was a variety of options for other desserts for our wedding as well and Holly made it easy on us to make our selections, all of which were not only absolutely delicious, but the presentation was phenomenal. The dessert table added to the beauty of our wedding day. We very much enjoyed working with Holly for our wedding and are looking forward to more special occasions to celebrate with some of her delicious cakes and treats!
Holly was so easy to work with and the hardest part of the process was deciding which of her delicious flavors to pick. She has a really good eye for bringing your vision to life and is very easy to communicate with. Highly recommend.
Holly is incredible! She made us a perfect small cake for our intimate wedding on relatively short notice! We decided to get married at our house and had about 2 months or so to plan. We didn't have much a theme for our wedding, but did have a hair piece I was planning on wearing that Holly used as a guide for design - she nailed it. The cake was so delicious and also SO beautiful! She also was able to make a mini gluten free cake for our family member who is gluten intolerant - that family member is now hooked on Hearth's GF cakes and recommends Hearth to everyone! Holly helped us select flavors that would go well together, and we had such a hard time picking just one. Would recommend Hearth to anyone for any occasion - 10/10!!
Hearth Patisserie is absolutely INCREDIBLE. Holly is amazing to work with and creates the most beautiful cakes and desserts ever. We had to reschedule our original wedding and still wanted a cake to celebrate, so we went to Hearth Patisserie, and Holly made us the most delicious chocolate cake filled with espresso caramel, dark chocolate ganache and finished with a coffee buttercream. It was an absolute dream. She decorated it so beautifully it was almost too pretty to eat!
Since our wedding we've been sure to try out more of her delicious desserts and she never disappoints! The flavors are always amazing and she can make the most amazing and creative desserts out of anything you have in mind. If you want a truly unique, gorgeous, delicious cake - you have to go with Holly at Hearth Patisserie!
Holly from Hearth Patisserie is absolutely wonderful! Her cake flavors and filling options are both unique and DELICIOUS. I had a very specific vision for how I wanted our cake to look and she created it even more beautiful than I imagined. Her work is truly art - Hearth Patisserie Instagram is definitely worth following her photos are STUNNING. I love Hearth Patisserie and plan on using them again and again for all our celebrations.
Our dessert table was amazing! Holly killed it with very little direction other than “we want fall flavors”! She created 2 smaller cakes, a croquembouche, and lots of fun little treats! Highly recommend!
