We booked a small wedding cake from Kim and she was so great! The price was incredibly fair, it was absolutely delicious, and she delivered to our venue. We are so grateful! Kim actually made my cake for my sweet 16 ten years ago and even remembered. She is very talented!
We really enjoyed working with Kim for our wedding cake. The cake tasted amazing and we appreciate her listening to our request to place a gingerbread bride and groom on the top of our cake. Thank you Kim!
Kim was such a delight to work with! She listened to what we wanted and executed our ideas perfectly! Her flavors were amazing our guests loved our cake. Kim responded promptly to all communications and we really enjoyed working with her!
We ordered Kim's spice cake with cream cheese frosting for our winter wedding and it was perfect! We got many compliments on the flavor and the designed looked exactly like our reference photo
Our venue had a contract with 2 bakers and after sampling both we chose Kim. We went with a lemon cake with strawberry creme filling which was perfect for our summer wedding. It was moist and refreshing. The design was simple yet elegant which was exactly what I had envisioned. Although, Kim didn’t offer too many options compared to the other baker, each selection she provided made our tastebuds happier. We made our decision based on taste first, design second. We saw a design in her shop that we liked and asked her to design our cake based on that one but using our color palette. It turned out better than we expected.
Our wedding cake was absolutely gorgeous and tasted amazing. I'm sad that I didn't get to have more of it! Kim did such an incredible job with our cake and I would highly recommend her services to anyone. I will definitely be using her for any future events!
Our wedding cake from Kim's Cottage Confections turned out beautifully. It was exactly what we were hoping for, both in style and taste. During the planning stages, it was so fun to pick-up a package of the different tasting options and try-out all the possible combinations. We couldn't resist getting some delicious scones and muffins while we were there. Kim was great to work with, and our cake ended up being the easiest part of wedding planning. Our guests raved about how tasty it was, and we completely agreed. We highly recommend!
Our wedding cake was delicious! We did a lemon cake with fresh strawberry filling. All of our guests loved it.
Our cake was gorgeous and beyond what I could have imagined! It was so beautiful we had it on display as part of our wedding decor! Every flavor we tried was so delicious and it was so hard to choose one for our big day. We had so much left over cake after the wedding- she did not short us at all!
As two massive cake lovers- Kim’s cake did not disappoint!! Even our wedding guests had more than one slice! Ps: writing this review while still eating leftover cake from the wedding :) 10/10 our fav was the raspberry swirl lemon buttercream!
Kim did my wedding cake. She took the picture I send her and made it come to life! Not only was my cake beautiful but the taste was even better! Thank you so much
Kim was fantastic to work with! Our cake was absolutely gorgeous and guests raved about how delicious it was!
If you are in need of a wedding cake, look no further than Kim's Cottage Confections. Not only are Kim's cakes absolutely delicious (with such a wonderful variety of flavors and fillings!), but there isn't a more genuine, collaborative vendor you could ask for. Kim is so patient, working with us to find the perfect design and flavor combination for our 200 guest wedding. The cake itself was a work of art--Kim has one of the best eyes for decorating I've ever seen--and it somehow tasted even better. Needless to say, not a single slice was left by the end of the night. Thank you, Kim!
Our venue included a wedding cake as the "dessert" in the contract. They partner with two bakeries - the one we chose was Kim's Cottage Confections since she was closest to us geographically.
As we were preparing for the tasting and working with Kim to design and order the cake, I reached out via email and explained that we chose them as part of our venue's agreement. I had asked about a tasting and we booked a Saturday for me to pick up the samples. That day came, along with a hurricane. I went to pick up the samples and was met with a sign on the door explaining that they were delivering to a wedding. I called back to leave a message and requested to pick them up the next day.
The store was adorable and all of the confections in the display looked amazing. I grabbed the samples and got home to taste them with my (then) fiance. The next day, I emailed her with our choices and inquired about what the "default" design was - I didn't want to send photos of a million dollar cake that would've been extra outside of the included cake from our venue. She didn't really have any description for a "default"/minimum/maximum for designs, but just said that the pics we sent were fine and asked about a quantity of guests. We gave her info and didn't really hear back.
The day of, we see the cake and the florals in the box next to it. The topper wasn't on. It looked like someone literally dropped the cake off and left - that's it. The pictures we sent included florals and the direction Kim gave was to have them next to the cake stand so they can do it, we followed directions but they didn't make it on? Eventually the venue staff did it, but I was a little nervous that a "qualified" person without a picture for inspo was getting it done. It looked good and nobody knew the craziness behind it.
Fast forward to a month later when we're talking to guests -- apparently entire tables didn't get cake! My super friend in particular was craving it all night (lol and kept asking throughout dinner) and then was finally told by the server that they RAN OUT of cake.
Our cake was delicious, although apparently not everyone could try it. It looked good, but that's only halfway credited to the baker. This was a slight disappointment in our day.
Cake was delicious but design was not at all what I asked for. Even though the guests thought it was beautiful, it really bummed me out. I had a very simple, elegant design in mind and sent them a picture of exactly what I wanted and it looked nothing like it. I do reiterate though - the cake was absolutely delicious
Kim’s Cottage Confections was one of two bakeries recommended by our venue, Birchwoods at Oak Lane, and I was THRILLED with Kim’s. Getting married this year during the pandemic was tough enough, and I am so grateful to Kim and the team for being a wonderful and pleasant vendor to work with, and providing us with our dream cake when we were finally able to have our big day.
We had chosen a three tiered cake with two flavors - one cake would be chocolate with strawberry cream, and the other two would be white cake with chocolate mousse cream. Both were absolutely delicious!
Not only were the flavors on point, but it was decorated and designed exactly how I had requested and fit our aesthetic perfectly.
I would 100% recommend Kim’s for any wedding or event
Kim's Cottage Confections made our wedding cake, and it was to die for. We wanted a very specific type of cake (copper layer with copper leaf throughout on a naked cake), and she made it perfectly. In addition, my mother wanted to use a specific cake stand that would not fit the standard 4 tiered cake, and she accommodated so that we could still use it and have all of the cake that we ordered! The cake was so yummy and moist and looked so perfect! I would recommend her for ANY event!
Amazing! Kim made the most delicious apple spice cake for our wedding a few weeks ago- guests are still talking about it! Not only was it delicious but it looked amazing and it was exactly what we had asked her for. It matched the picture I had given her perfectly. Highly recommend!
Kim baked amazing cupcakes and smaller cutting cake for our wedding! She was so friendly, easy and fast communicating with via email for the planning process, and was so accommodating meeting us for a taste test. After tasting how delicious all the flavors were we ordered more mini cupcakes to our order than we expected. We had our cake and cupcakes delivered to our venue which arrived safely and on time before our wedding (even being the Durham fair weekend!). I left out platters and dishes for the cupcakes which were placed so nicely around. Then I left fresh cut succulents and our cake got decorated beautifully on the spot. We got an 8 inch marble cake with Oreo filling and vanilla naked frosting on the outside. It was absolutely perfect and exactly what we showed Kim pictures of at our meeting. We froze the cake we could not finish before our honeymoon, and we cannot wait to have it on our anniversary!! Thank you so much, Kim!
Kim did our wedding. We asked for a desert bar instead of a full cake. In addition, we had a small cake for cutting. The small cake was pretty, but we asked for chocolate cake and received white cake instead. The desert bar was disappointing. The cupcakes were bite sized when I was expecting full-sized cupcakes. They also tasted pretty bad, heavy oily buttercream. Also, we ran out of deserts and we had an even smaller guest list than estimated. Unfortunately, I would not reccomend this place for a wedding. I was highly disappointed.
When I booked my venue, two bakers were included in the price for the wedding cake. When it came time to choose I was extremely nervous because both had questionable reviews. After going to both tastings we decided on Kim’s and I was put a little at ease since everything tasted great. We chose a white cake with almond mousse and a double chocolate cake with chocolate mousse. Fast forward to the big day and when we did the cake cutting the flavors were completely wrong. They gave us a yellow cake with vanilla butter cream and a chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream. While this did not affect the wedding as a whole I was extremely disappointed as I was looking forward to the flavors we chose. When you are a wedding cake baker you have one job and this bakery couldn’t perform that. Warning to all brides looking to use this business, the reviews are correct. I knew I should’ve listened to my gut.
Between my being picky about taste and some communication errors between vendors, we had quite a struggle trying to find the right cake supplier for our wedding. I went to Kim's as a last-ditch effort to just get something planned because she was local and my mother-in-law has had good luck with cakes from her for other events.
The tasting she provided was fabulous - she gave us many flavors to try. The only thing I was disappointed about was that she only provided us with vanilla buttercream frosting to sample, though she said she could do other flavors. Regardless, the cake was all delicious. Even my husband, who does not particularly like cake, thought it was good. Moist and well-flavored.
Kim was very to-the-point about the planning, which I greatly appreciated. She had a solid recommendation for how many cupcakes we would need, how many flavors we should choose, and she knew exactly what size couple's cake would be best. She had samples around the room of different decoration styles, and since I had no idea what I really wanted that made it super easy to choose. I left that meeting feeling very confident that we had made the right choice.
Come wedding day, my main concern was how the cake was going to look. I had a simple wooden topper and had asked my florist very last minute to leave some flowers for Kim to add to it. I had not communicated this to Kim at all, but she did a BEAUTIFUL job with the cake. It looked amazing.
However, I was disappointed about a few things related to the cupcakes. 1. She said she would label the different flavors, which was important to me because at other weddings as a guest it always annoyed me if the flavors were not labeled. She did not label them at all. 2. Related to flavors, I had asked for some cupcakes to have filling and others to not be filled. She filled all of them, which isn't that big of a deal because I don't think she charged extra for it, but I know some of my guests would have preferred to have an unfilled option which I why I ordered it. 3. She provided a cupcake stand, which was great, but she said it would be wrapped in a blue ribbon to add a pop of color and it was not. It wasnt a big deal but it would have looked nice.
As a disclaimer, I am not sure it was Kim who ended up setting up our cupcakes. I didn't get to be down there when they got set up and from what other people said it sounded like it may have been an assistant, which would explain some of the little issues.
Overall the cake was very good but the frosting and filling was plain so as a whole not amazing but I was not disappointed with the quality.
For our wedding we ordered 3 types of cupcakes and a small cake to cut. They were delicious! I highly recommend this bakery. My only recommendation for them is to perhaps have some gluten free/vegan options, as I had to run out the night before the wedding to make sure these guests had something for dessert.
I chose 3 single cakes and different types of mini cupcakes for my wedding. The icing was creamy and the cakes were nice and moist. The only problem I had was the gluten-free cupcakes were supposed to be labeled and they weren't. I take that as a simple oversite. What really mattered was the cakes and cupcakes were delicious and the basketweave design was gorgeous. Everyone thought the cake table was beautiful and there were no leftovers. If I need another cake I would not hesitate to use Kims Cottage Confections and I would recommend this business.
The bakery was so easy to work with and the cupcakes which the baker customized based on our likes and decorated based on our color scheme were beyond delicious!
Kim's Cottage Confections was one of the vendors that we got to choose from when we had our wedding at the Society Room. Unfortunately, the other vendor did not return our phone calls so we went with Kim.
The tasting day was superb - all the cakes were moist and perfectly presented. Kim herself was pleasant and easy to deal with during that day. We decided that we would go with cupcakes and a 2 tier wedding cake. We asked that the cake be decorated in a winter theme with pinecones and berries. Kim told us that the cupcakes would be displayed in wooden crates to give it a rustic feel.
On the wedding day, our cupcakes were underfilled (did not fill the cupcake paper), stale, and we only received 2 of the 4 flavors we requested. The wedding cake itself had plastic pine branches on it and cotton balls, not what we asked for. None of the cupcakes were labeled (some of our guests who had allergies could not enjoy the cupcakes due to this), and the cupcake display was not what Kim had promised.
In summary - the cupcakes and wedding cake were the worst part of our wedding. We would NOT recommend Kim, and would actually suggest that you take your business elsewhere.
Kim recently did our wedding cake and we were blown away. She was so friendly and made the whole experience so enjoyable! Our consultation went very smooth and she made our decisions much easier with her great explanations and examples. Kim also did the favors for my bridal shower and they came out exactly how my family wanted. I would highly recommend Kim for future cake/cupcake/favor needs!!
Kim made cupcakes for our wedding and they couldn’t have come out better! We went for our tasting and sampled different cakes and fillings and ended up choosing 4 different cupcakes and a smaller cake topper to save for ourselves. Her flavors were unique and tastey and she put filling inside the cupcakes (which I noticed other vendors only do with a full cakes). We even picked a flavor not at the tasting because it sounded so good and it ended up being my favorite (coffee walnut, sooo good!) the funfetti was also a big hit! The display was also perfect and there were plenty of cupcakes to accommodate our guest. Thanks again Kim!
Kim is so amazing and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Going for the consultation was so much fun and very delicious! Also Kim gave me a to-go box to bring home to my husband as he had to work and couldn’t make the consultation with me. That was so sweet of her and he really appreciated it as well. I did a small cake for my husband and I and cupcakes for the guests. They were excellent!! She came that day to deliver and set it up for us and it was beautiful. I will only use her for future needs. Thank you so much, Kim and staff...a true pleasure to deal with! :)
Kim provided the most wonderful cakes for our wedding day! We went to meet Kim at her shop and were immediately blown away by how lovely and friendly she was! She took the the time to guide us through options and had so many pieces of cake available for our tasting! As soon as she said cannoli cake and we put it in our mouths...we were sold!! Kim worked with us on the design of our cake and was so efficient at communicating throughout the whole process. On the day, Kim also provided an amazing little box of treats for our guests that had gluten/dairy allergies and we were so impressed by this. We found Kim through our venue and I am so glad we had the option of someone so talented and lovely to fill our bellies with such delicious cake!!!
We got our favors for our wedding at Kim's Cottage Confections. Everyone loved the three chocolate leaves, which Kim had packaged beautifully with a ribbon of our choice and a personalized message . It was perfect for our autumn wedding.
Cake tasted good. Did not look as I expected to. The gold appeared brown, but that may have been the lighting but also the design was completely different than what we discussed so...its not bad. We did a butter cream frosting so it limited the designs a bit but it was just wasn't very pretty in the end.
We met with a few vendors when it came to our Wedding Cake and Kim was by far our absolute favorite. We honestly knew within seconds of meeting her that Kim’s Cottage Confections was going to be our choice. All of our guests have been talking about how amazing our cake flavors were since our wedding and we were beyond impressed. It looked gorgeous and was exactly what we described/discussed with her, and everything was absolutely perfect. Kim is very professional, responsive, flexible with busy schedules and incredibly sweet!
I had my wedding at the Society Room in Hartford and used Kim's Cottage Confections for my cake. I was very happy with how my cake came out and the experience I had there. The tasting was wonderfully set up, organized, and comfortable. I had a naked white cake with strawberry mousse, it came out beautiful and was delicious!
The cake that Kim made as part of our Riverhouse catering package was beautiful! From the moment I met with Kim to try some cake samples, I knew that she was the right cake vendor for us. She took time to understand my vision for our wedding cake and completely executed on that vision. Our cake was simple and elegant and matched our color scheme perfectly. Not to mention, it was delicious! I highly recommend Kim!
Kim's Cottage Confections made the cake and favors for our wedding. Everyone said how much they loved our baked goods. We enjoyed our cake so much that we had the top for breakfast the next day and ate the remaining cookies (shaped as wine glasses and wine bottles) over the next two days. The process of picking out our cake was fun and delicious! All the options tasted amazing and it was hard to pick just one (we were told we could pick more than one filling if we wanted).
We had to make a last minute cake decision as plans changed and Kim's Cottage Confections was very helpful. Ordering our cake through them was painless and stress-free! Our cake showed up on our wedding day just as I imagined. Love that they delivered it to our venue and we didn't have to worry about it.
We had two choices for our wedding venue and we are so thrilled that we went with Kim! Her cake was moist and she was super accommodating. We called her about a month before the wedding and wanted our monogram added and she did a fabulous job. Her cake looked just like the picture we put together. I enjoyed her tasting and she was helpful but not pushy like some other cake vendors were. I'm so glad we went with Kim. Thank you!
I LOVED my wedding cake from Kim's Cottage Confections. When my mom and I went in for the cake tasting, we were blown away by how delicious all the cakes were that we tried (and we got to try 6 cakes with 6 different fillings!). Even the 6 we tried were only about 1/3 of the cake and filling options Kim has available. We had a 4 tier wedding cake and were able to have 2 different kinds of cake in different tiers. We went with a carrot cake with cream cheese filling and a chocolate cake with chocolate mousse. We got compliments on both, but people particularly loved the chocolate cake with chocolate mousse! We ended up going with an exact replica of a cake that was in Kim's 'show room' because we loved it so much and she re-created it perfectly. Thank you Kim, the cake was delicious and the presentation was beautiful!
We met Kim at the RH bridal show and loved her cake and we scheduled our tasting. The tasting went great and we ordered a four tier, round marble cake with a chocolate mousse filling and vanilla buttercream. I called the week before the wedding to confirm that the cake could be delivered. The cake that was delivered was not what I ordered. And the topper was so crooked that the first thing my husband said when he saw it was "that is crooked and looks bad" and he isn't the most observant and person.
Our cake was absolutely stunning and delicious! I have had so many people race about how delicious it was! Kim did cake boxes and I would recommend that as well! Friends and family enjoyed the cake the next day and it didn't go to waste!
The cake Kim made was part of the package for my wedding. I met Kim at my venue's food tasting and enjoyed her cake designs the best out of the vendors there. I called her after the tasting to set up an appointment time with her. I had a few ideas of what I wanted and brought them with me. For the consultation we first went over the different cake flavors. I am not a sweet-tooth type of person by any means so Kim made sure to point out the more savory cakes that she thought I would like. My husband came with me to the tasting since he enjoys sweets way more than me. He enjoyed all the cakes and as Kim predicted I enjoyed the more savory ones she brought out. She was very professional and courteous. Once we decided on the flavors (we went with double chocolate and a lemon cake with raspberry filling) we moved on to the design. Kim had a detailed sheet with her so as we talked and I showed her pictures of what I liked, she took notes and made sure to ask detailed questions. She answered all my questions about the cake topper and decorations. I found her to be very professional and willing to spend as much time as needed with me and my husband. The cake was exactly what I asked for in terms of the design. The flavor and cake itself was absolutely amazing and delicious. Very moist and flavorful!! Kim is amazing at what she does.
My venue has 2 cake vendors to choose from and I'm so glad both were at their bridal show so I could try the cakes there first. Hands down, Kim had the best cakes. All the kinds we tried were great (we chose a chocolate chip cake with a cannoli cream filling). And he decorating skills are just as great as her cakes. And if you wish, for an additional charge, you can get your pet on the cake in fondant! I just sent a couple pictures and she made a dog look just like mine come out of the bottom layer of the cake (check out her Instagram, many people have done it).
We absolutely loved our wedding cake. We were able to incorporate two different flavors and Kim was able to capture our vision of elegance. The tasting was fun and Kim was incredibly professional. We would definitely recommend her if you are getting married in CT!
Our wedding venue included a cake from one of two vendors. One was Kim, and I'm so glad.
At the consult meeting there were more than enough samples which honestly made choosing flavors kind of difficult. They were all very good. We went with amaretto with almond cream and chocolate with chocolate mousse. We had several guests tell us that they had never tasted such awesome wedding cake.
In the package with our venue a buttercream cake was included, but you could choose to upgrade. When we had our meeting with Kim she looked at some pictures we had seen, and said that we could choose to have a 3 tiered cake instead of a 4 tiered cake, and have one undecorated tier to avoid paying extra. We had a music themed wedding, so Kim decoupaged sheet music to one of our favorite songs that she printed on edible paper all over the top and bottom layers. When I saw the title of the song when we cut the cake I was choked up; it was perfect. She matched a ribbon on the second layer to my maid of honor's dress perfectly. My fiancé had mentioned a few weeks before the wedding that he was nervous about the cake because we met with her almost a year in advance and we hadn't really been in touch throughout the year. I had sent her the pdf of the sheet music but that was pretty much it. When he saw the cake for the first time he was completely blown away. It was unlike anything we had ever seen and honestly so much better than the Pintrest photos we had shown her. Additionally her ability to make it work with buttercream so that we didn't have to deal with the taste of fondant was marvelous. The cake looked extremely smooth and elegant, it tasted as delicious as it looked. I honestly ate way more than I should of the week after the wedding, we had more than enough left over in addition to the entire top tier.
Kim created a delicious and stunning masterpiece of culinary perfection. Our beach theme and colors were well-represented in this elegant and delicious cake. Her ability to utilize multiple flavor profiles assured that all who partook in the reception were not disappointed.
Kim’s cake is DELICIOUS. Once you taste the cake, you won’t want to go to anyone else. I showed her a picture of what I wanted to for our wedding cake and she went above and beyond and make it even more beautiful than the picture! People are still raving about the cake and we are so excited to have the top tier to enjoy next year!
Kim's was included in our package at the Society Room of Hartford. They worked with me and my family to make sure our vision for our movie themed wedding was perfect!! We had 3 different flavors of cupcakes and a mini cake on top of our cupcake display. I made my own cake topper, and they artfully put it in place on our minicake display for everyone to see. They used fondant for our top cake and buttercream frosting for the cupcakes. I loved the way the cupcakes looked, and the guests really enjoyed them. However, I did not feel that the cupcakes were as moist or tasted the way they did at the tasting. They were still very good, just not oh-my-god good. I was happiest that they looked exactly the way I wanted them to, and the guests raved about them. We also used their white-chocolate popcorn for our candy bar as favors for our guests. Now, the popcorn was absolutely oh-my-god GOOD! I ate it after the wedding for days and the guests LOVED it. Overall, Kim's was the right choice for us at the Society Room and they worked with us to make our theme really work with their cake.
I found Kims Cottage Confections at a bridal Expo and from the minute I tasted their cake I knew that they had to be the ones to make my wedding cake. My cake was absolutely perfect and more than I even asked for. It made my special day that much more special. They incorporated all of my ideas and it came out wonderfully.And let's not forget it was absolutely delicious. Everyone was raving about how great the cake was. Thanks Kim can't wait to hopefully work with you guys again.
We chose Kim's Cottage Confections after an initial tasting, as she was one of the vendors included in our catering package.
The tasting appointment at their shop was a breeze and the cake was delivered on our wedding day exactly as specified. We decided on a buttercream marble cake with an oreo filling and it was even more delicious than we remembered! It was very fresh and beautifully decorated.
Our cake from Kim was beautiful! It looked exactly like the model one we saw. The guests raved about the cake and how moist it was. It really made a statement and added to the look of the wedding. Thanks Kim!
The cake was delish and the team was easy to work with. we selected a cake that was actually on display in their shop when we went for the tasting so we didn't have too many details for them but it came out great. The scroll detailed frosting looked a little baby blue when it should have been gray, but it wasn't anything that ruined my day. the cake was moist and we were able to choose 2 different flavors so we were both happy and got what we wanted.
Kim's Cottage Confections was recommended by my venue. We used them for our June, 2014 wedding. At our consultation, they had many cake displays as well as many picture books- they options were endless. I recommend coming with an idea in mind since it was a bit overwhelming. Luckily, I had a picture in my mind and they were able to draw it out for me. They made it fun and I was amazed at how much they can do.
The different cakes were really divine. My husband is not a strawberry fan at all but he ended up wanting a vanilla cake with strawberry filling! It was so delicious. We went with two cakes for the different tiers- a chocolate cake with an Oreo filling and a vanilla cake with the strawberry filling.
I always felt that at weddings, the cake is not the best. However, Kim's Cottage Confections completely changed my perspective on wedding cakes. On the wedding day, the cake tasted exactly as it did the day of our consultation. I was satisfied with every bite. Guests truly enjoyed the flavors. I will indefinitely use them again for future events and I recommend them for your wedding day!
We chose KCC cause she was one of the four Bakery's we had to chose from through our venue.
My niece was my wedding planner and took care of calling and setting up our cake tasting appt. My niece called and left a message three times before actually getting to speak to someone. Cake tasting went good. Cake Flavor's and filling's were delicious I'll give her that. We chose our flavor, filling, shape, and details on the cake. which was all layers to have the cornelli lace, all layers to have a strip of fuchsia ribbon with strip of Rhinestones, and Pink star glazer lilies (real or silk) one on each tier.
Before leaving she re-read the order to be sure it was correct. Three weeks before the wedding my niece called Kim again just to touch base and also let her know that we had choosing the silk lilies cause real one are poisonous and we didn't want to have to remove the center of the flower. She was told in detail everything that would be left at the venue for the cake table. My niece asked for a call back to confirm everything was set. NO CALL BACK!
Wedding day my niece went to check on the cake that was delivered and table set up. Kim/delivery person was gone. Table was not set up as asked. NO CORNELLI LACE on the cake, NO FLOWERS on the cake, no lily petals spread around the cake table in between votive holders as asked.
Cake was crooked on the stand, just looked like it was thrown together fast. Many imperfections on her frosting job as well. Not smooth and a lot dents. If she had in fact did the Cornelli lace it would've hid her imperfections. My niece does cakes, so she noticed all the mistakes. The positive thing we can say is that the cake was moist. My niece called her 7/21/14 and once again had to leave a message. Kim didn't return her call I believe until 7/23/14. She really didn't care that the cake was NOT complete. She tried to blame it on the person that delivered the cake. My niece told her " the delivery person isn't responsible for putting the Cornelli lace on the cake...YOU ARE!" She still pushed the blame on others which was infuriating my niece. She sarcastically apologized but did NOT seem to care that she ruined my wedding cake.
We used Kim's because she was one of the three cake vendors that my venue uses. Her cakes are delicious. We were deciding between the Amaretto cake and the red velvet. We ended up picking the red velvet and it was the right choice. Everyone loved the cake and we ate the top layer when we got back from the honeymoon. We couldn't wait a year!
Had our wedding May 17th. When I saw our cake is was exactly like we wanted. It was beautifully done, tasted fantastic. The chocolate cake was rich without being over powering. The White was light and soft. Everyone was really happy. I will recommend Kim's to anyone
Kim's Cottage was the perfect choice for us when it came to choosing our wedding cake. We had two different wedding cake vendors to choose from and we happily chose Kim's Cottage because her cakes are so delicious, I loved her designs and Kim was a delight to work with. Kim is so sweet just like her cakes!
Thank you!
The cake I chose was one of their display cakes plus I gave them a color swatch and picture. My cake still had lots of detail and design but they forgot to add flowers. I had on big flower as my cake topper which I was charged extra for. There were supposed to be smaller matching flowers on the other tiers of the cake. This was not done and the color was not as dark as I was expecting. When I called after my wedding to tell them their excuse was that it was a Sunday so her assistant was sent to setup the quick. The flowers are not assembled until they deliver the cake. Kim says they probably just took all the flowers and put them on top which was untrue. There was one big flower on top. I told her I wanted some of my money back and she said she couldn't do that. Kim will give me a $50.00 credit for something in the future. I do not recommend this vendor. They cannot even replicate a cake they have on their own display and I spent a lot of money on my cake.
Kim is great. She is straight to the point no nonsense baker. She listens and gets it. We were so happy. Cakes are yummy and they are beautiful to look at.
I was referred to Kim's from CT Wedding Group and I am so glad Kim's did our wedding cake. Meeting for my tasting was great. I was able to pick two great flavors, chocolate espresso and red velvet with white chocolate mousse. The buttercream outside was tasty, and smooth. My anchor cake that she crafted up was exactly what we pictured and tasted great. The cake was light and super moist, fresh, fresh, fresh. Kim's also did a special groom cake which tasted great and was very artist. This bakery has great skill, so if you are looking for a great tasting cake that is beautiful go to Kim's.
