I bought cookies from Heitzman for my bridal shower as well as cupcakes and a cake for my wedding. The tasting went very well and had wonderful help and guidance from Jacob. However, everything after that was a nightmare. The cookies I requested were all wedding themed. The printed cookies came out fine but any cookies that were decorated by them were terrible. It looked like a grade school fundraiser event sadly. Some were not even completely decorated. To let a product leave the store like that speaks volumes about their attention to quality to me. After several tries of contacting the store I finally got a response back from one of the managers who I believe was transitioning to ownership. She was able to give me a partial refund, but just getting to her was a nearly impossible adventure. Obviously, now concern based off the product that I had gotten previously, I wanted to ensure that everything for my wedding day would go well. I tried calling a month prior to the wedding to verify the delivery. I did not get a chance to talk to anybody until the week prior. When I called the store I asked for anybody involved in wedding cakes, the phone was answered. I asked a question about whether or not a delivery was scheduled and a short answer was yes I then asked for a time confirmation as I had no idea when it was gonna be delivered. A short answer of around two or three was given and then hung up. I understand that wedding season is probably a very busy time for the bakery the customer service is definitely not at the top of their priority anymore. It’s a shame.
My husband and I absolutely loved working with Heitzman’s Traditional Bakery to make our dream wedding cake come to life! Despite my husband and I living out of state for school and work, Heitzman’s made it incredibly easy to work with them to make our wedding cake. They offered taste testing, and were very flexible with scheduling. All of the different types of cake and icing tasted wonderful, and Heitzman made it easy to select which kinds of cake and icing pairings would be in each layer of the cake. My husband and I gave Heitzman our inspo pictures and described what we wanted the cake to look like, and the cake turned out absolutely perfect. Our guests loved the look, and more importantly, the taste of the cake. Additionally, there’s no need to freeze the top layer of cake to save for your one year wedding anniversary, Heitzman’s sends a mini cake to you! If you are looking for a tasty, beautiful, and budget friendly wedding cake, Heitzman’s Traditional Bakery needs to be your go to choice!
Cake, cupcakes, bourbon balls, and mini cheesecakes were delicious. They were delivered on time. No complaints at all!!
Margaurite was fantastic to work with and the cake turned out EXACTLY how I wanted it! And apparently was delicious according to guests - I’m just sad we only got the small bite at the cake cutting, and forgot to grab a slice for ourselves!
We had the best experience with Heitzman! This company is very professional, makes great cakes, and is very reasonably priced. We had a very pleasant experience during our cake consultation and talking with Marguerite. The cake we ordered turned out both beautiful and delicious - some of the best icing I have had! Heitzman delivered our cake (and donuts we ordered for a donut board) to the venue on the wedding day, so it was very stress-free.
Heitzman provided a beautiful cake, cupcakes & mini pies for our wedding. It was exactly what we wanted and delicious! They were affordable, easy, and fair to work with. I would recommend them!
Heitzman made a small cake for us and 6 different types of pies for our wedding. Including mini pies which were a huge hit!! They did forget to bring our cake to the venue and had to go back and grab it which is the only reason I did not give them 5 stars. Everything tasted amazing!
We used Heitzman Bakery for our wedding cake in July of 2021. We, unfortunately, had to reschedule our date three times due to COVID. Heitzman worked with us with every reschedule. The cake was both beautiful and delicious! We would highly recommend them, and will order from them again in the future for other bakery needs!
Delicious, affordable wedding cake that turned out beautiful! Linda was a joy to work with - highly recommend!
Our cake was so beautiful and tasted amazing!!! They are super easy to work with and delivered the cake on time, makes the wedding hassle disappear!
Heitzman's cake was amazing. They made the cake portion of the planning so easy and our cake came out amazing. Our guests loved the cupcakes we decided on and loved the taste. There was a bit of a miscommunication about dates and locations when we lost of venue 5 months before the wedding but we got it changed at they arrived as needed. We also love that they will remake the top tier of our wedding cake on our one years anniversary so we didn't have to juggle it for a year and hope it unfreezes well.
The staff, the food, the cake it was all amazing. We had more than enough for all of our guests.
Marguerite and her team were absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! They catered our rehearsal dinner and wedding while also providing our wedding cake. Everything was delicious with top notch service!
When we went in for the tasting, there was no question that Heitzman was the way to go!! We did not go for a traditional cake but for a dessert bar and each item was so tasty! Mini pies, different cookies, carrot cake cupcakes, brownies, and mini cheesecakes, each one was perfection. The first thing my new husband said when we woke up the next morning was "Please tell me someone took the extra desserts, I want them"! He was spot on, the desserts were to die for. We are going to make it a point to stop by every time we are in town as a little celebration as because it is just so tasty! They were easy to work with and delivered everything in a timely manner!!
Margarite was always pleasant to work with and the food and cake were delicious. That being said, communication was a little difficult and staff seemed to be stretched a little thin. There were a few things that seemed to be lost in translation- serving of champagne and cake, who was providing glasses, and folding of napkins but overall nothing that had an overall impact on our evening. The fact that we could get cake, food, china, and bartenders in one stop was a big help.
I had my rehearsal dinner and my wedding cakes done by Heitzman. The food was amazing and my guests raved about the food. We had two cakes at our wedding, we got a groom cake for free! My wedding cakes was so delicious and it was very beautiful. My groom wanted a cookie cake with lots of icing and he was very pleased with both cakes. Would highly recommend!
Our wedding cake was amazingly beautiful! Not only was it a masterpiece but it was also very delicious! We also had cupcakes along with or cake and both were the perfect amount of sweetness! I would recommend Heitzman’s bakery for anyone looking for an amazingly talented and relatable bakery!
The wedding cake and the grooms cake looked fantastic and tasted wonderful. Everyone was super complimentary. However, they were very difficult to work with. I had to constantly remind them about my order and delivery (which they were still late) and was treated as if I was bothering their staff by ordering my wedding cake there. It was a great quality and price, but if I could do it again I might go elsewhere and be treated a little more nicely with less stress about if they were actually going to show up with my cake.
We hired Heitzman for both the catering of the food as well as the cake (cupcake tower). The food was amazing; people are STILL talking about the cheese torte! The day of the event, Marguerite and her staff were amazing! Had it not been for Marguerite, my husband and I probably wouldn’t have had anything to eat! The only reason they’re getting 4 stars is because there were some communication gaps prior to the wedding. It was unprofessional, in my opinion, and caused concern as the big day approached. However, everything went off without a hitch, like I said, and the staff and food was great!!!
So helpful in choosing a cake!
We had Heitzman's design our 3 tier wedding and groom's cake. They both were beautiful and tasted delicious. My husband is gluten intolerant and had to have a gluten-free groom's cake. It tasted just like real cake and the guests did not know the difference! The staff was kind and helpful and he price was reasonable. Would definitely recommend Heitzman's for your wedding.
My wedding was June of 2017 and at first Heitzman's was the perfect caterer for both my cake and my food I was really looking forward to it because the food we tasted was fantastic and the service was amazing. Then came the day of, we called to see what time everything was going to be delivered and I have never received such disrespect and attitude from Dan. He never answered my husbands question about what time everything was going to be delivered so I gave them a call and a worker answered and then told me Dan already spoke to someone about this matter so he would not speak to me and I was given Marguerite number. As she ended up being helpful, everything still didn't go as it was supposed to. When they got there to set up my bartender asked the set up crew where the cake was, they proceeded to say that it was going to be delivered later after giving her a look of confusion. My cake was delivered at 345 (15 minutes after my reception had started) there was no groomsmen cake. My dad gave them a call and they had no idea where the cake was, after not receiving a call back my brother and I called asking about the groomsmen cake. They said it was delivered to a different venue. At 630pm the groomsmen cake was delivered and was a very detailed cake and look good but you could bluntly tell that it had been touched and messed with. The delivery lady told me and my mom that she just picked it up and brought it here. Being that the cake had been messed with I denied the cake, my husband walked up and she proceed to tell him that they had just remade it (which was impossible being how detailed the cake was). After that I go and cut my wedding cake during my reception and it's the wrong flavor and wrong decorations. After all said and done my dad called the bakery and never got a call back from Marguerite. He ended up emailing her a week later and finally got a response and she never once apologized for the mistake and kept defending the situation. The food was decent but the biggest part of a caterer is the wedding cake and I've never had such a bad experience before. Not only was my cake delivered late, we didn't even receive the correct cake.
Highly recommend Heitzmans. They were professional, courteous, and extremely reasonable in their pricing. The food was delicious and our cake was amazing. They also brought beautiful flowers to decorate with which I didn't anticipate. I had a destination wedding, but they were able to fulfill all my needs over the phone and made planning the catering a breeze.
Our cake was exactly what we wanted, and so delicious! We chose the perfect bakery! Even our grooms cake was a hit!
Our flavors were wonderful and very delicious. However I gave them a picture of what I wanted the cake to look like and what was delivered to the reception was not the cake I wanted. The colors were wrong and instead of a tall narrow cake, it was short and fat. Was very disappointed especially since I had talked with them prior to the reception about my concerns.
Our cake was amazing and Heitzman Bakery is to thank! We opted for petit fours since we wanted a variety of flavors and they were all delicious. They were open to all of our requests and worked with us to get exactly what we wanted. Highly recommended!
We received two cakes from this company: the wedding cake and grooms cake. The wedding cake turned out pretty, but it wasn't exactly what I asked for. I was told I could have a lace design, and it ended up being just white swirls. The grooms cake was supposed to be a cardinal bird, but ended up just being an L. Again, they were beautiful, but not really what I was promised. Besides this, the lady was nice to work with and very easy to get a hold of.
We had Heitzman's cater our wedding and make our cakes! They did a wonderful job with the food and I had a lot of guests come up to me after the wedding and mention how yummy everything was! Meeting with Marguerite at the bakery is much more easy than communicating through email, so don't be discouraged or worried if she doesn't get back to you quickly and try to make final decisions in person!
We used Heitzman's Bakery for our wedding and groom's cakes and they did a wonderful job! We showed them pictures of cakes they we would like replicated, and they turned out perfectly; even after being told by several other bakeries in the area that our design would be too intricate to do. Plus, their prices were more reasonable than the other places we looked at and our cake was delicious! The only negative I can comment about is that they are not quick to respond to emails, so I would recommend calling for any updates or changes to your order. I would definitely recommend them and plan to use this bakery again in the future for other events.
I used Heitzman to cater my wedding on 3/28/15 and one thing everyone said about the wedding is the food was fantastic! That is not the only reason I am giving them 5 stars though. Marguerite was a pleasure to work with from the start. Meeting her at a wedding show got me very interested in her cakes so we definitely wanted her to create our wedding cake. Let me just tell you, it was very hard to decide on any cake flavor because they were all so very good.
After meeting with her and seeing the menu, and then tasting the food, we decided pretty fast we wanted Heitzman to cater as well. Their food tasted very good for the price. It was hard finding a caterer for under $20 a person (and we had about 160 people RSVP yes)!
Everything went perfectly. The staff was at the venue and made sure everyone was served. They were friendly and polite and stayed until the very end and helped clean up. It was the best service I could have asked for. They went above and beyond my expectations. I met them at a wedding show, but now I plan on stopping in more often just for some of the food and treats that they offer. Highly recommend them to anyone who asks!
Heitzman's bakery did the grooms cake and the cake for my daughters reception. Both cakes were outstanding on both taste and presentation. The bride has celiac disease and the gluten free cake was delicious as well. Highly recommend!
I LOVE Heitzman's strawberry cake! The cake I wanted for my wedding was going to cost way to much from them, but my best friend got her cake from them and I swear I ate almost the whole thing!
My wedding cake was exactly was I envisioned and it was delicious. I could not have asked for better. Plus the cost was reasonable.
Marguerite and the crew from Heitzman Traditional Bakery did such an AMAZING job for our wedding! Not only did they provide the catering, but they provided our cake, plates, cups, flatware, linens, alcohol service, and even a centerpiece for our buffet table. Heitzman is truly a full-service catering business and we truly appreciated the effort that was put into our wedding by Marguerite and her associates.
They designed a unique cake for us and it was perfect!
Initially, we had chosen another caterer I'd rather not name but they left us with so many unaswered questions and we'd have to do some of the work involved, which any couple doesn't need. We were trying to save on cost but the stress that would have been would not have been worth it.
We chose Heitzmans because they were already doing our cake and we had a copy of their catering offerings which were a good deal. Our tasting appointment was more than we could have asked for. They gave us samples of everything we wanted to try and other ideas that might work with our selections. ALL of their food was so good. The owner, Marguerite, is so awesome. She worked with us on price, guided us on quantity and selection without being pushy, rude or impatient.
Day of, the setup was beautiful, as she promised, plently of food, plates, napkins and cutlery and they cleaned up and broke everything down without us even noticing! She even boxed the groom and I up take home plates. It was so nice to feel like I didn't have to worry about a thing and our guests enjoyed the meal. You really can't go wrong going with Heitzmans.
Such wonderful choices in cakes, and they all tasted delicious! Definitely use them in the future for other catering or big event needs
!!!!
Heitzman was amazing. The price was very reasonable (moreso than others in Louisville), they were easy to work with, and the cake was delicious and beautiful. I would highly recommend.
We had Heitzman do our wedding cake, which everyone loved. They designed our cake just for us and I designed the grooms cake and they created and it looked amazing!
But we also did our rehearsal dinner at the store. I got so many compliments on the food, we did a pasta bar, which is just fun. Everything was amazing, you bring in your own booze and they take care of everything else. Even if you don't do your rehearsal dinner there, atleast have them cater that or your wedding. They did a wonderful job. Very affordable.
Great food, not many will think of them for catering. Great cakes as well as food.
