The service from Henny for our wedding was outstanding! She provided both a beautiful cake and delightful cupcakes, and everything was absolutely delicious. Henny truly captured our vision and exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail was remarkable, and the delivery was prompt and professional. Our guests raved about the cake and cupcakes, making them a highlight of the reception. Highly recommend Henny for anyone looking for an amazing wedding cake and dessert experience! She's a joy to work with!
We loved having Henny as our wedding baker! The presentation of the desserts looked incredible, we got great feedback from guests on how everything tasted, and Henny was excellent to work with. She was responsive and flexible and it was easy to create the plan for the day and then let her run with it. We would absolutely recommend her!
I am a wedding planner (The Perfect Match Weddings) and hired Henny B to create my own wedding cake for my wedding at Owl's Nest last week. It came out so beautifully and she brought my vision to life. She was also able to make the top tier GF for me. It was delicious and photographed beautifully too!
Henny's cakes are the best cakes that we have ever had. When having our tasting, Henny gave us four flavors to try. They were all so good that it made the decision a little difficult. However, her autumn spice cake with maple butter cream really hit it out of the park! There's a reason it's one of her most popular cakes. It was the perfect choice for our September New England wedding. If you have guests with a gluten allergy like we did, she is also very accommodating. We got autumn spice gluten free cupcakes that were also a hit! Her decorating is also so good. She gave us a perfect semi-naked cake that she then added flowers from our florist and a figurine of our dog for us. Communicating with Henny was also great from beginning to end. She truly is the best!
Henny B was amazing to work with for dessert for our wedding and rehearsal dinner. The pumpkin cake she made for our rehearsal is one of my favorite desserts I have ever had!! Her cakes are truly a work of art and are delicious. She also made cupcakes and cookies along with our wedding cake for the wedding night. Everything was delicious and every guest complemented them!!
The desserts Henny B Cakes provided us were so delicious and stunning! While talking with our guests after the reception, not one failed to mention how much they enjoyed each of the treats Henny prepared. We ordered enough desserts for each of our guests to have a few treats a piece, and its a good thing we did because we did not leave with much left over! The cake was beautiful with the colors and floral arrangement matching our theme perfectly. We are both typically not “cake” people which is why we ordered mostly cupcakes and cookies, but we were both pleasantly impressed and more than satisfied with how good our wedding cake was. We appreciate Henny making the trip to Waterville Valley on our late August Saturday to deliver the final touches to our big day. We highly recommend Henny B. Cakes for your wedding or event, you will not be disappointed! Our only regret is not being able to try everything she made us! Thank you Henny for being such an integral and wonderful part of our day!

Thank you Henny B for making such delicious cakes for our wedding! We did two tests for the cakes since we couldn't’ decide and Henny was understanding and happy to accommodate. She completely understood our vision and did a gorgeous job executing it. It was simple but elegant and most importantly tasty! Excited that we have family near her so that we can order cakes from her in the future for other events. Thank you for being part of our awesome vendor team which made our wedding so special.
Most delicious and gorgeous wedding cake!!
I reached out to Henny 2 months before our wedding, as we made a last minute decision to get married in my hometown in Vermont. I also requested that she make a Chantilly cake (as my now husband is from New Orleans) AND to make it gluten free. Henny was gracious and helpful, and delivered the PERFECT cake for our wedding day. Not only was it absolutely beautiful, as all of her cakes are, but the flavor was unlike any cake we've had. It was absolutely scrumptious, and none of our guests could tell it was gluten free! I highly, highly recommend Henny B Cakes for your events in the Northeast!
Hire Henny if you want delicious cake/cupcakes for your wedding! From the first tasting to our wedding day, working with Henny was a breeze and she helped turn our vision for our dessert table into a reality. We highly recommend Henny B Cakes for your next event.
Henny B is truly the best. Incredibly warm, communicative, creative, thoughtful, and a true cake artist! She was a recommendation from our Venue and I'm so incredibly happy we went with her. She's the best - you won't regret booking with her!
I'm not one to really ever leave poor reviews, and nor did I expect to be writing this one. However, I simply couldn't shake how unprofessional and rude her customer service was.
I reached out to Henny for my wedding cake, as her cakes looked gorgeous! She responded quickly saying she was available for my date and asked for more details. Then, after I provided more information about what I was looking for, and a couple back and forth emails between us, she went radio silent for weeks. I thought maybe she was really busy with orders, so, I reached out again to see what happened, and she responded saying she was "full of other inquiries for my date" and "best of luck". This was an email that was connected to all the other emails, so it's not like she just forgot. So, so rude.
Henny fit our wedding order into a busy wedding schedule and we are so thankful! We ordered a beautiful cutting cake and delicious assortment of cookies. Henny was also kind enough to work with another local bakery to fulfill a donut order so we on had to work through her. She is attentive, responsive, and as our wedding coordinator mentioned, one of those vendors you just know will go above and beyond.
So many compliments from guests on how delicious my cakes and cupcakes were. Guests thought the cupcake bouquets were real flowers! Beautiful job!
From the look of our cake to the taste, everything was amazing. Henny was so great to work with and designed a cake that exceeded our expectations. You will not regret using Henny for your wedding!!
We hired Henny to make our cake for our September wedding. We had asked her to create a mountain scenery on the 3 tiered cake, something she had never done before but said that she could make it happen for us and we were thrilled with the results. Every expectation we had was exceeded. The cake was perfect, better than anything would could have imagined, and on top of that, tasted amazing! We 100% recommend booking Henny for your wedding, she is an incredible baker/cake artist, professional, accommodating (especially during Covid) and easy to work with! Thank you Henny!
I booked with Henny during the 2020 Covid pandemic. We only communicated via email and we never met in person or called. I sent her what I needed as well as a photo of the look I was going for with the cake... And wow, it was gorgeous! The cake tasted amazing and my mom still talks about how good it was! Thanks again Henny for a delicious and beautiful wedding cake!
Henny did a beautiful job with the cake for our NH wedding! She was wonderful to work with, and was very helpful and flexible when it came to coordinating picking up a tasting box since we live out of state. We ended up ordering a cake with frosting designed to look like birch bark, and it was just stunning. We had a tiered cake that was lemon with lemon curd between the layers, and a sheet cake that was chocolate with raspberry preserves between the layers -- the flavors were DELICIOUS! The lemon cake was a particular favorite! Thank you Henny!!
Henny's cakes were delicious! We ordered 4 or 5 cakes from her for our wedding in New Hampshire and they were beautiful! The cake was really delicious. It was wonderful to work with Henny, she listened to our requests and offered us an affordable option. I hope to order a cake from her again when we are back in NH or for our 1 year anniversary. I would highly recommend Henny!
We loved our wedding cake so much and similarly loved working with Henny. She is so lovely and was so easy to work with, and so understanding when we postponed our wedding date due to COVID. She made it super easy for us to switch to our new date and was always on top of emails and was so responsive and timely. We had a wonderful tasting with her and decided on a three tier semi naked cake with two lemon cake layers and one chocolate cake layer, with raspberry filling throughout and lemon curd between the lemon cake layers. It turned out AMAAAAZING — I couldn’t stop eating it during our cake cutting at our wedding! All of guests were talking about the cake. It was so moist and delicious and so fresh. And it was absolutely beautiful!!! It matched our vision perfectly. She also allowed us to rent her cake stand for our wedding, which made things so easy for us. Thank you everything, Henny!!
Henny was great! I initially found her on Instagram as a fantastic option for your northern NH wedding. She was easy to work with, the tasting cakes were BEAUTIFUL... and delicious.. and she was happy to work with us on matching a vision we saw on Instagram and bring it to life!
We went with carrot cake - it was amazing!
My now husband and I chose Henny to bake not only our wedding cake (a 6in lemon cake with vanilla buttercream frosting and decorations) but also an entire dessert table of goodies for our summer wedding. Every single thing she made was both delicious and stunningly beautiful! Henny was extremely easy to work with and created exactly what we were hoping for. The variety of treats she offers made for an amazing dessert table that guests were talking about well after the wedding was over. I would definitely use Henny again for future events!
As someone who doesn’t like cake I can honestly say this is the best cake I’ve had! The frosting was so airy and the cake itself was moist and delicious! Some of my guests went back for thirds! Would HIGHLY recommend Henny B!
Im so happy we chose Henny to create our wedding cake! It was the most beautiful and delicious cake I possibly ever tasted. We went with a simple two-tier birch cake for our New Hampshire mountain elopement. Henny baked a divine carrot cake with maple buttercream and decorated it with fresh flowers in the most romantic and tasteful manner.
Henny was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish! She was easy to communicate with and was very helpful in guiding me to what size cake we needed for our intimate wedding. The cake was such a beautiful confection. And, oh my, it was so decadent and delicious. Very much looking forward to enjoying it on our first anniversary! Don't hesitate to hire Henny for your big day!
Henny B Cakes makes the best cake I have ever had in my life!
She invited us to try all kinds of different flavors in the comfort of her beautiful kitchen. All the flavors were so good it was difficult to pick just one. So we went with two flavors for our big day!
Her decorating was exactly what I wanted, simple and timeless. She went into detail to be sure even the flowers would match.
My family all has been begging me for the leftovers!
Cannot wait to have our top for our anniversary, which she gave us instructions on how to freeze!
I’ve worked with Henny numerous times as a wedding planner and she consistently delivers amazing cakes! She’s a total sweetheart, super easy to communicate with and her cakes are even more delicious than they look. Book Henny — you won’t be disappointed!
Very professional and makes amazing cakes and cupcakes! The frosting is so light and delicious!
Henny has been such a pleasure to do business with since day one! We wanted cupcakes for our wedding with a giant cake cupcake on top in place of a real wedding cake. She made it happen and everything looked so amazing! Not to mention all the cupcake flavors we got were AWESOME! We highly recommend Henny for wedding cupcakes! :)
Henny was a delight to work with from start to finish, and our cake turned out wonderfully!
We went with a semi-naked cake that looked beautiful. We received so many compliments on how good it tasted. The spiced apple cake with vanilla buttercream and salted caramel fit our October wedding perfectly.
She was very knowledgeable and responsive throughout the process and made things much easier than they could have been.
Henny definitely met and exceeded our expectations, and we would recommend her to other couples looking for an exceptional experience.
Henny was fantastic to work with — from start to finish! She knew exactly how many cupcakes we needed and offered a great suggestion for a smaller cake that we could also add to the cake table. And to top it off, her flavor choices were incredible and all of our guests couldn’t stop talking about how good they were! We would absolutely hire Henny again!
Henny B was such a pleasure to work with when planning our wedding. Quick and efficient when it came to responding to any questions or concerns. Our wedding cake looked as if it came out of a bridal magazine! Aside from how beautiful our cake was, it was unbelievably delicious! Our guests raved about the our cake. We cannot thank Henny B enough for helping make our big day so special!
Henny was very professional and helpful in making my decision for my daughter's wedding cake 9/6/20. The cake was a one tier Birchcake style with fresh flowers with vanilla frosting, absolutely delicious!! In addition or ordered a dozen beautifully decorated cupcakes with an assortment of frosted flowers.
Delivery was prompt. I would highly recommend Henny.
Beautiful and delicious cakes and cupcakes. Henny is very professional and easy to work with. Highly recommend her for any occasion.
Henny is the Best!! She was so easy to work with and does absolutely amazing work! Our tasting was quick - she had cakes ready for us to taste, we talked a bit about some options, Henny made wonderful suggestions, and she did the rest! She absolutely exceeded our expectations with her beautiful cupcakes! And I received so many compliments on how delicious they were! Thanks again Henny! :)
Henny cakes is AWESOME!!! Henny was so easy to work with and very accommodating to our needs. She had a tight timeline with prior commitments on the day of our wedding and she still found a way to make it work and deliver an INCREDIBLE cake that everyone couldn’t stop talking about. The design of the cake was picture perfect and honestly we didn’t even want to cut it because it was so beautiful. But the cake tasted amazing as well. We were from out of state so Henny even sent us a small container of cake for us to try a few months before our wedding. All around a great experience and would highly recommend Henny cakes!
Henny was one of our best and most enjoyable vendors to work with. She so kindly accommodated our last minute inquiry and produced for us the perfect wedding cake, equal parts beautiful and tasty. Henny let me share a few photos of what I had in mind and the cake she made was even more perfect...topped with fresh flowers from her favorite local florist. I can't recommend Henny enough - we're already looking forward to ordering a batch of cupcakes to celebrate our future anniversaries!
Henny is a kind and extremely talented baker and business owner. From the start, she warmly welcomed us, listened to our vision, regularly communicated...and boy, did she execute day of! Her cakes and cupcakes are absolutely delicious and she offers creative flavors. She designed the desert table and it was GORG. Guests were raving about how beautiful and delicious everything was. If you’re looking for a thoughtful, thorough and talented person to trust on your wedding, Henny is your girl. Thank you for everything ❤️
We are so thrilled that we went with Henny for our wedding cake! She was immediately responsive to inquiries when we were searching, and generously set up a tasting for us to decide. We asked to do it fairly early because we weren't as local (2+ hrs away), and she obliged and had a few mini cakes prepared for us. Best breakfast ever!
Henny was very easy to work with. I provided her with a Pinterest photo of what I liked and she recreated it flawlessly. She also made the process easy by picking up the greenery needed herself, coordinating with my florist to make sure she had extra flowers for the day, and renting us a cake stand we could easily return. We also found that her prices were very competitive and more affordable than other bakers we evaluated.
Most of all, cake should taste good, and we LOVED the chocolate with vanilla buttercream creation. I actually ate a second piece with my fingers because I couldn't be bothered to find a fork. You won't regret working with her!
Henny was wonderful to work with! Her cakes are absolutely beautiful! We received so many compliments on the look of our cakes as well as how delicious they were. She was able to look at different photos of styles that we liked and create the perfect cake!
Henny's cakes are amazing! She was very flexible when scheduling a tasting, which was great since we live 6 hours away, and we got to try a few flavors and frostings. She is very transparent about the different options available and does her best to get creative with you to achieve the outcomes you want while cutting down unnecessary costs .
The cakes she created for us were so beautiful, so tasty, and super moist. We gave her some thoughts on our big tiered cake which she executed flawlessly, and then she pulled off lovely, creative ways to display our smaller cakes.
My husband even said afterwards - ""We should just get cakes from Henny for any occasion coming up. 4th of July? Let's get a cake!""
Henny from Henny B Cakes is great!
I recently got married on 5/11 and she made our gorgeous wedding cake! From the first initial conversation , to the cake tasting and to the final result of our beautiful cake, Henny was so easy to talk to and she truly saw the imagine of what we wanted. The cake was truly a special part of our wedding and she nailed everything about our wedding cake. Not only was it absolutely gorgeous it tasted so fresh and delicious!!!!
There are a lot of bakeries out there that make wedding cakes, but if your looking for a “one of a kind” cake, with pure passion behind the creation, Henny from HennyB Cakes is who you need to book!!!!
I will most definitely be recommending her to anyone I come in contact with that needs a beautiful cake made.
For the final touch, when we walked over to our table during our reception there were two beautiful “heart” shaped cookies left for my husband and I.
Henny truly went above and beyond to make us feel special. Thanks Henny!
DArcy G. I needed a cake for a birthday party & picked Henny B's because of her reviews-I was not disappointed, I was thrilled! I had to design the cake w/Henny all by email/phone, she listened to everything I wanted & the cake turned out perfect! Not only was it beautiful it tasted amazing as well, which is not always the case with these very specialized cakes. Thank you Henny for helping to make my sister's birthday so special!
Henny was absolutely amazing from our first conversation with her. She is so warm and welcoming and so great to work with! Henny made different cupcakes and mini cakes just for us for our tasting, and we got to bring home all the leftovers to eat with our family - everyone loved them! When we were deciding what we wanted for our wedding, she was happy to work with us to design the perfect dessert. We ended up getting a small wedding cake along with 120 cupcakes from Henny and she went above and beyond! Our wedding cake was exactly what we wanted and she did a wonderful job adding the flowers from our florist! The cupcake display was also amazing - Henny's wooden crates went perfectly with our venue. In addition to the cake and cupcakes looking amazing, they were absolutely delicious - so many of our guests told us how incredible they were!! We would recommend Henny to anyone getting married in NH - she is incredible! We wish we lived closer so we could eat her desserts more frequently!
We are SO happy we chose Henny to make our wedding cake! She was so easy to work with right from the start. We met her at her home for a tasting where she prepared a beautiful selection of small cakes and cupcakes in different flavors, colors, and with a variety of decorations. They were all so lovely and the cakes were delicious! We were sold instantly. We were torn between flavors and styles, so she suggested instead of doing a very large cake we do a three tier cake as the main cake and then two small two tier cakes...we got the best of both worlds! All three cakes turned out BEAUTIFUL on the wedding day and we got so many compliments on how delicious they were. Henny is incredibly talented, her cakes are to die for, and we very highly recommend.
Henny B's Cakes were INCREDIBLE! I say "cakes" because we literally had 5 cakes and they were all delicious. From the initial tasting to the final product, we loved working with Henny. She totally understood what we wanted and delivered the most beautiful (and delicious) cakes we've ever had. We had a lot of our guests tell us it was the best they'd ever had!
Henny made us carrot cake, vanilla and one other, and used our flowers to decorate. They were classy and decadent.
Henny was absolutely wonderful to work with, and we are so happy with the cake for our elopement. I showed her a Pinterest picture of what I wanted and she was able to recreate the cake perfectly! Henny was very responsive and quick to respond to my emails, and very patient in answering all of my questions. Our cake was absolutely beautiful and so yummy! I would highly recommend Henny's services. :)
The only thing I would change was the cake was so good we needed more! Every piece was gone! It was beautiful and delicious, just what we had asked for.
Amazing! I showed Henny a picture of the cake I wanted and she nailed it! She worked with a local florist to get the flowers and greens I wanted. It was exactly what I wanted and it tasted amazing! Thanks so much, Henny!
Henny completed our day for us with the most unique and perfectly designed cake ! We wanted a semi-naked (fall flavored) , but hand crafted cake ..and HENNY DID IT PERFECTLY!!! We chose the Pumpkin Spice Latte flavor (incredibly moist and delicious) with a light butter cream frosting, and three tiers of it were just beautiful! We received so many compliments and inquiries about her work, it was a great feeling that they all appreciated her delicious design as much as us. We plan to order for our next birthday event and CANNOT wait to enjoy our anniversary cake next year. Henny you have customers for life!! THANK YOU <3
