We used Modern pastry for our wedding cake and it was a perfect experience. We chose our tasting kit and and were able to fully customize. They perfectly executed the look we wanted and created a beautiful cake that was delivered to our wedding venue. Thank you so much!!
Not only was our wedding cake BEAUTIFUL it was also delicious! Our wedding was one week ago and we are still enjoying slices of our take home cake. One week later and it’s still as fresh as it was on the day of!
Modern Pastry provided the cake for our wedding, and it was absolutely perfect! Not only was the cake visually stunning with its intricate designs and flawless finish, but it also tasted incredible. The flavors were rich and delicious, and each layer was moist and perfectly balanced. The team at Modern Pastry was a delight to work with, accommodating all of our requests and ensuring that every detail matched our vision. We highly recommend Modern Pastry for anyone looking for a show-stopping wedding cake that tastes as amazing as it looks!
What an amazing job Modern Pastry did on our wedding cake! It was the most gorgeous cake we’d ever seen! All our guests raved about it and we even enjoyed it for days after (after saving a nice slice to put in the freezer for our first anniversary, of course!) We appreciate all the time and effort they put into our cake, and would greatly recommend Modern Pastry for any occasion.
Our wedding venue, The Lake House, included a cake from Modern Pastry Shop with our package. Modern Pastry was wonderful to work with during our planning process. Carla was very easy to communicate with and she made sure that every last detail was handled from setting up a tasting to the flavor and design of our cake, and drop off at our venue. Not to mention, the cake was absolutely delicious- white cake with Oreo mousse filling, and buttercream frosting, 10/10 recommend! We look forward to ordering our exact cake on every anniversary for years to come. Thanks, Modern Pastry!
So easy to work with, the cake was delicious and absolutely beautiful!
What a treat to work with Carla and her team at Modern Pastry on our wedding cake! The cake was DELICIOUS and Carla was so easy to work with. She coordinated with our florist to have fresh, beautiful greens and flowers on top of our cake and we were SO pleased with how it turned out. Highest recommendation to anyone looking for a delicious, beautiful wedding cake that won't break the bank.
Modern Pastry did an amazing job on our cake and desserts! The cake was absolutely delicious and everything we wanted from taste to looks! We also got mini desserts and although I did not make it over to that table during our wedding, there were only 5 little desserts left at the end of the night. So to say the least people enjoyed them! Would highly recommend and very easy to work with!
Highly recommend Modern Pastry. Great communication. Amazing attention to detail. It was as delicious as it was beautiful to look at. We picked the buttercream frosting, raspberry filling and marble cake. All of our guests loved the wedding cake and asked for the name of the bakery.
Delicious cake, got a lot of great compliments. unfortunately, there was a miscommunication with their driver and our cake topper was left behind. they were apologetic and have offered to make it up to us. would recommend but keep your topper.
Our wedding cake was simple, yet elegant and beautiful! I was a bit nervous to give a description or show pictures of what we wanted, but when I finally saw the outcome at the wedding it was amazing! The staff did a wonderful job designing the cake exactly how we wanted, and the actual flavors of the cake were to die for. We ordered an almond cake with raspberry filling and buttercream and let me tell you we had several people ask us what we ordered and where we got it from because it was so delicious! Thank you so much!!
Our wedding cake from Modern Pastry was truly one of the best looking and tasting cakes we have ever had. You guys knocked it out of the park! Highly recommend using them for any cakes or sweets!!
We were able to pick out different flavors to try and take them home to taste test. They had many delicious options. Cake esign was beautiful and just what we wanted!
Modern Pastry made our most beautiful and DELICIOUS wedding cake at Aria! The cake design was gorgeous and they understood our vision perfectly. Our guests cannot stop talking about how delicious each tier was! We cannot thank you enough for making our wedding cake dreams come true!
AMAZING!!! They were so helpful at the cake tasting, and made the most beautiful cake. The cake was moist, delicious, and everyone is still talking about it three weeks later.
Thank you for our wedding cake, your team did an incredible job Carla.
Amazing! My wedding cake was absolutely delicious and looked gorgeous! Thank you Modern Bakery for bringing my vision to life!
Really great job with designing the cake we wanted and the staff was very helpful in helping us decide what we wanted!
Absolutely amazing cupcakes! All our guests raved about the dessert. The entire Modern Pastry Shop staff was wonderful to work with for our wedding!
Great cake! Definitely was a guest favorite!
Let me start by saying I do not even like cake and OH MY GOSH this place is amazing. When we went in for our tasting we got to pick the type of cake, the frosting and the fillings we wanted to try. Which were all soooo amazing. Then we got to pick a different for each tier! I also got to design my cake making each tier different. I absolutely LOVED my cake!!
You simply can’t beat the flavor and value at Modern. We had priced out SO many different wedding cake options, and Modern was hands down the most reasonable - but let me also say, THE MOST DELICIOUS. They brought us tons of fillings to try along with cake samples, and we decided on 2 cakes: 1 “naked” tiered cake with strawberry filling and a butter cream crumb coat, and 1 sheet cake with chocolate mousse filling and buttercream frosting. Our guests LOVED having different flavor options, and many even went back for seconds because they loved it so much! We highly recommend Modern Pastry to everyone!
Delicious and beautiful cake! They took their time to really understand my vision of the design and then delivered.
Super easy to work with, really friendly staff and delicious goodies!! We got nothing but compliments on our wedding cake and dessert table. After a poor experience with another bakery the customer service was refreshing and we left happy and confident.
Modern Pastry Shop was included in our package from A Villa Louisa. The taste of the cake was delicious! My friends are family are raving about the ricotta and raspberry filling. Maybe I have watched too much Cake Boss but I expected more assistance in choosing the design of the cake. We were given a few a binders and told "pick" or send us a picture of what you want. That is perfect for a bride who knows exactly what she wants, not for me. We ended up choosing 2 cakes that we wanted the designs merged and there must have been a miscommunication but the cake did not come out like we thought. We also felt like we were being an inconvenience by wanting to try more than one type of cake. So overall the taste of the product was amazing but the experience was less than to be desired.
Modern Pastry was part of our package with our Venue Maneeley's and we are so happy they were! Our cake came out so beautiful. Our guest are still raving about how great it tasted and how nice it looked. The process to pick out the design and flavors was very easy. Carla was great to work with and the cake came out even better than we could have ever imagined! We look forward to going to Modern Pastry for future events.
We got our cake at Modern Pastry as part of our package through our venue (Glastonbury Hills Country Club) which provided us with the option for "basic decorations". We came to the store to have a taste testing and the woman who helped us was great! She brought us all of the cake and frosting samples and let us try every combination. She was very knowledgeable and flexible with out requests. We found what we were looking for in the sample book and she was able to customize to our colors. The experience was extremely easy (and yummy) as the venue handled everything else. The cake and cupcakes were delicious and we received many compliments from out guests! Highly recommended!
Great overall experience. I like the atmosphere of the bakery and every time we went to visit they we always came out with baked goods. I was impressed my parents knew who they were and stated they use to visit them a long time ago! The experience of tasting the cakes was fun we sat at swiveling bar stools and as many people could come, we would get a coffee and we could try all the selections. I would only recommend they be a little more present for questions as we were taste testing as they were dropping of selections and then running around, although Saturday morning are a busy time I'm sure.
They were very accommodating to all of our requests/modifications for the cake. They also were very good about ideas to make it more attractive.
They day of the wedding there were no flaws, and everything was as we expected it to be! Can't be more grateful for their contribution to our big day!
Our cake came out beautifully and they were able to stay within our budget! But most importantly, the cake tasted great!!
Our cake tasted as good as it looked, and it looked amazing! They decorated the frosting perfectly, they were easy to work with, answered all of my questions in shop and when I called later, and did I mention the cake tasted amazing? Oh, and make sure to go in for the cake tasting, they even made us coffee and cappuccinos to have with our tasting.
This bakery is outstanding and fit into our budget! The cake tasting was super helpful, and they were amazing! We got to pick exactly what we wanted and even added cookie trays to our order right before the wedding. Delivered on time without a problem. Very friendly and we will be using them again in the future.The cake was beautiful and delicious. They will work with you to make whatever style you want (simple or intricate). Thanks again!
Modern Pastry was truly delicious! After having been recommended by our venue, we went to a tasting and were offered a variety of choices to personalize our wedding. Carla was fantastic and a great point of contact throughout the process. From our personalized cake to our 5 different flavors of cupcakes, everything was delicious! Thank you again! - Taylor
Best wedding cake I’ve ever eaten! The cake for our 4/14/18 was absolutely delicious and beautiful! We had a vanilla cake with a chocolate hazelnut and strawberry mousse. Yum!
Modern Pastry created the wedding cake of my dreams. My husband and I loved the tasting and their attention to detail. They didn’t pressure us to go above our budget and were transparent about pricing. They made honest suggestions and respected that we didn’t want a traditional white cake. Our cake was so beautiful, matched our wedding colors, and on top of being beautiful, it tasted amazing! Our guests are still talking about that cake. We will be repeat customers and are happy this will be a memory from our wedding!
Our cake was exactly what we envisioned!! Different yet beautiful and tasted even better!! All of our guests were obsessed with it!
Amazing!! Loved everything about it!
As part of our deal at Maneeley's, my fiancé and I got our wedding cake and cupcakes through Modern Pastry in Hartford. Carla was a pleasure to work with and she took her time to understand what my fiancé and I wanted to complete our vision for the wedding. Not only did the cake and cupcakes look beautiful and were exactly what we wanted (they looked exactly like the Pinterest pictures I had sent in), but they tasted delicious!
My now husband and I had a wonderful experience with modern pastry. We worked with Carla who was amazing, she gave us all the information we needed, hand made us cake samples to try, and created a beautiful wedding cake that fit our vision perfectly. Carla and the rest of the staff were a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend them to anyone. We loved the carrot cake and cannot wait to eat some more on our anniversary! Thanks Modern Pastry!
We cannot thank Modern Pastry enough for doing such an incredible job with our wedding cake! They were so nice and accommodating. We actually bought a crystal stand that they were nice enough to help assemble. It looked spectacular and tasted delicio0us! Would highly recommend!
Beautiful Cake and everyone loved the mini cupcakes! Delicious cake!
Our wedding cake was perfect! We looked through sample books they provided and we combined two looks from two different cakes. It came out beautiful and elegant!
I absolutely love my cake! Not only was it delicious but it was exactly what I wanted. I showed Lisa a picture of my cake and it came out just like the picture!
Modern Pastry did an amazing job with our cake! We wanted something that was pretty but not too formal or overdone. At our tasting, which was really fun, we went through all the books and got to meet the owner to discuss what we were looking for. They were really helpful with suggestions for a simple design with some little touches that matched the colors of our wedding. The cake was beautiful, they attached the cake "topper" which also went down the side of our cake perfectly and it was really delicious. I would highly recommend modern pastry for your wedding cake!
Modern Pastry created this red pick up truck grooms cake for our rehearsal dinner. Words cannot describe how great of a job they did on this cake. The detailing was incredible, all the way down to the license plate on the truck and the stitching on the golf bag in the bed of the truck. They even created a fondant version of our dog in the bed of the truck! The cake itself was also incredible! Very moist and perfectly cooked. I will order all of my cakes from Modern Pastry from now on. The look on my husband face when he saw it was priceless. They are extremely talented and it was easily one of the best cakes I have ever eaten.
The cake Modern Pastry made for my wedding was included in my package with our venue but now that I know how amazing these folks are I will absolutely be back for all my dessert needs in the future!
Our cake was more wonderful than I could have even imagined in my head! I couldn't have been happier! It was delicious and beyond beautiful!
They were very accommodating and excited to hear or ideas and incorporate them into the package with no additional costs. They even included a separate cupcake for our friend who was allergic to one of the ingredients in our wedding cake, at no additional cost.
I am very very pleased!
Realy good place. The cakes were great tasting, and made beauitfully. The cake was everything we were looking for and more. We got to have two different favor cakes with to different filling favors. Our price for cake was free due to it being included in the price for our venue we used for reception at A Vila Louisa.
We got our cake at Modern Pastry as part of our package through our venue (Marquee Events & Catering) which provided us with the option for "basic decorations". When we got to the tasting the woman who helped us was so sweet, laying out all of the flavor options for us and then making suggestions based on popularity, she even offered a free espresso to hubby (who could barely contain his excitement at just being in a traditional old-school Italian bakery!). Once we got into the decorations I was amazed at the range that was included in the "basics." We found what we were looking for in the sample book and she was able to customize to our colors. The experience was incredibly easy as the venue handled everything else for there but the cake was phenomenal (alternating layers of chocolate and vanilla with strawberry-ricotta filling). Highly recommended!!
Modern pastry was wonderful to work with. They listened to all of our ideas and turned them into an amazing piece of art. The cake was not only beautiful, but delicious too. My husband and I definitely recommend Modern pastry for all of your wedding cake needs.
Family owned Modern has been a pastry and cake staple in the Hartford area. I was so excited to have them make lemon filled cupcakes for my wedding. The cup cake tower and top tier cake with little yellow flowers were fantastic and their staff was great to work with!
Thank you!
We had such a great experience at Modern Pastry! It took us a while to decide but they were so patient and let us try any combination we wanted! The cake was absolutely amazing too! So delicious! And they designed it perfectly to what I had requested.
I highly recommend them!
I picked my cake out and it was delicious! They also did my groom cake, plus the father's day cake!
Modern Pastry was awesome - completely worked with my fiance and I on what we wanted - and when we loved more than one of their flavors they recommended doing every other layer different - which we did and LOVED it! The cake came out beautiful. I'd highly recommend this bakery!
We used Modern Pastry Shop for our wedding cake. My mother and I went for the cake testing, as my husband is not a sweets person. They let us choose whatever flavor cakes and frosting that we wanted, ran in the back, and next thing we know we each have a plate full of cake samples....absolutely delicious! We had a hard time choosing because they were all so good, so we went with each layer a different flavor cake and filling. Staff is all super friendly too, definitely recommend Modern Pastry Shop.
Our cake from Modern Pastry was UNBELIEVABLY amazing! It looked beautiful, and tasted so delicious. I usually expect wedding cakes to be dry and boring, but ours was moist and the frosting was so good. I couldn't wait til our anniversary to eat the top layer, so my husband and I have been enjoying it all week!
So tasty and added customized design on cake!
Modern Pastry provided our cake for our wedding at Maneeley's. It was very convenient to work with them because the cake was included with our wedding package. All we had to do was go to the bakery to pick out what we wanted and they took care of the rest. When we went for our tasting, they offered to prepare us as many samples and flavors as we wanted. We ended up going with chocolate cake/raspberry mousse and vanilla cake/strawberry mousse. It was phenomenal. So many people commented on how good it was. We had some leftovers to take home, and we gobbled it up the next day. We can't wait for our one year anniversary so we can eat the top layer! The decorations came out beautiful too. They got the colors of the sugar flowers just right. Lisa and Carla were great and really fun to work with. Whenever I mention this place, people have already heard of them, so you know its good!
Our cake was beautiful and delicious. Only problem we had was when we got to the reception, the cake was a little slanted so they had to leave the top tier in front of the cake and put it on top when it was time to cut it. They said it was because of the separations with fresh flowers. The flavors were amazing!
Modern worked with our venue, A Villa Louisa, so all we had to do was go in for a tasting and pick the cake – they took care of getting the final headcount, delivery and set up without us having to worry about a thing.
When we went in for our tasting, I think we tried every combination of cake / filling available, and went with carrot cake (no nuts, no raisins, so almost more like a spice cake) with cream cheese frosting. We did cupcakes and a small top tier for us to cut.
The cupcakes were included in our package, but I believe it’s about $2 / guest which is pretty affordable for the size and quality cupcakes we received.
For our small cake, we had an idea of what we wanted and they worked with us to do the topper exactly how we wanted. We had to pay for this part separately but I thought it was very reasonable for a wedding cake ($45 for a 10”, two layer round, with fondant and detail work )
They do tastings any time they are open without an appointment, which is pretty convenient. Parking can be challenging if they're busy but is worth the walk (go during the day if you're concerned about that section of Hartford.)
I also recommend picking up a few pastries to go if you go in for a tasting. I haven’t had Italian pastries that perfect outside of Italy.
We used Modern for our wedding cake - which they did a fabulous job on! We also ordered mini pastries and cookies which our guests really enjoyed. The desserts were setup with a espresso machine for an added touch!
Modern is well known for their great tasting pastries. But I brought in a picture of a cake I wanted them to do for my wedding. Not only did they make the cake perfectly but they also helped to save me money by offering an alternative to fondant.
Modern Pastry did a fantastic job making our cake exactly the way we wanted it! My husband and I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but we ordered a marble cake with ricotta and chocolate chip filling and buttercream frosting and it was to die for! We got so many comments on how delicious and unique the cake was. We couldn't have picked a better cake maker!
Yummy cake and i cant wait to eat the top of the cake next year. Worth the money all the way.
My family has been going to Modern for cakes and pastries for as long as I can remember. I knew I wanted a unique cake that included cannolis, so Modern Pastry Shop was the first place I decided to talk to about my creation. Carla was great to work with us to make sure we got what we wanted and was super flexible when we had to make some last minute changes. The cake was absolutely delicious and was decorated beautifully. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a cake, pastries, cookies, or any other desserts. They are amazing!
Our wedding cake was delicious! Very personable and had a lot of great suggestions.. Our cake came out exactly as we wanted!
The cake looked great and tasted wonderful. Guests were upset that there wasn't more to go around.
They did an amazing job creating the perfect cake from a picture I emailed to them!
Ask for Carla. She is amazing.... she managed to merge our two wedding cake views together beautifully. The cake looked beautiful AND tasted great!
The cake was amazing and tasted delicious! We went with and four tiered, round cake to feed 125 people. We went with less cake because we had a dessert table and chose to slice the cake instead of serve the cake to all guests. The cake was a white cake with pineapple filling and it was so good! The only issue we had was that the ribbon we chose was not what we thought we were getting. We had chosen a sheer, light blue ribbon around the base of each tier. Even though we provided a swatch of color for them, it did not match well. It was much lighter than expected and did not stand out at all.
The decorating staff at Modern was great and really worked with my husband and I to truly make our vision come to life. The cake came with our reception venue so I cant comment on the price, although we did provide our own rhinestone banding and cake toppers. They definitely used their creativeness and our cake came out amazing! I also had them make a groom's cake which was truly a hit at the reception. We also got so many compliments on the strawberry and buttercream cake we chose for the cake! Would definitely recommend!
Beautiful cake
Our 4-tier white cake with ricotta filling and buttercream frosting was beautiful and delicious!
The were terrific! No complaints: great price, taste, and design. They gave me exactly what I wanted and it was so beautiful!
We had a very simple, three tiered, butter cream cake but each layer had a different flavor. We walked into a consultation without an appointment with Carla after having a bad experience with a local cake vendor that same day. She let us take our time tasting flavors and gave helpful and non-pushy advise about what would work and look the best. Only draw back was that the delivery person arrived 20 minutes later than scheduled, which happened to be right before the ceremony was to begin and my photographer was unable to get the cake in the photos I requested prior to the ceremony. My guests loved it and the rest that we took home was gone quickly! Great experience and I will continue to recommend!
Modern was part of my wedding package. They did a great job with the cupcakes for our wedding. Everyone loved them and they have many options to choose from. They were very friendly when we went to the tasting and helped us design a look that matched our wedding.
This place was wonderful!!! Our wedding cake came out looking fabulous! They did an amazing job. The cake was made to look like gift boxes and it looked like one of the cakes from Ace of Cakes or whatever. And most importantly it was delicious. We got chocolate cake with strawberry filling and all of our guests loved the cake!
Our baker was wonderful to work with as well. Very pleasant during our initial meeting and worked very well with our reception site. She was very helpful in designing the cake.
The only thing I cannot comment on is the pricing. Our reception site (La Renaissance) includes the cost of the cake in their price per person so I have no idea if the price was expensive or not. But I can say that even though we were not paying the bakery directly they did not treat us any different than any other customer. They were wonderful! And even if the cake was expensive I still would have gone here and would totally recommend them. It was just so awesome how unique and wonderful our cake turned out looking! Seriously like one from cake wars, ace of cakes or whatever!
This was one of the few areas of the wedding planning that was smooth sailing and perfect!
We used Modern for our wedding cake and grooms cake. the grooms cake was a big hit! My groom absolutely loved the surprise. Although the wedding cake was delicious.. they missed 1 very important detail. We asked for chocolate chips in the filling and it was missing :( i know its a small detail that was over looked but I was looking forward to the chips. The decorations were beautiful and the decorators really captured the details of my dress on the cake. Of course I would recommend this bakery to others because the cake was so good but i was just a little disappointed.
Modern Pastry makes a gorgeous cake that also tastes great. I usually don't think wedding cake tastes good, but their cakes do. They also have a lot of cake styles to chose from, and are no-nonsense in their selling approach. The cake style I chose reflected exactly the cake I got, and they arranged the flowers I chose to go on the cake very well. It looked beautiful and professionally done. We also got a selection of Italian cookies from Modern to be delivered with the cake, which I would highly recommend. Many people prefer cookies over cake. My guests really enjoyed them and it was a nice touch near the coffee and tea station.
At first I was a bit nervous with Modern Pastry- we had to wait for almost 30 minutes for our cake testing, but trying the samples really made me sure we went with the right bakery! The design my husband and I created was flawless excuted by this shop. During our design meeting, every detail we asked for was referenced in pages of their many design books and a rough draft of our cake was drawn out before our very eyes- we knew we would get our cake before leaving the bakery. Their price was also the most reasonable for what we asked for in a cake and included delivery to our wedding venue! Our guests took so many pictures of the cake that my husband and I were afraid to cut it! We went with a marble cake with raspberry mousse filling- it was light and refreshing...perfect for an August wedding!
This cake vendor was included in my package for my reception hall. While initially I was not happy with this(because I had my own bakery shop I wanted to go to) it turned out to be overall. The people at the shop were really nice. They took their time having you test their cakes and come up with a design that fit your wedding theme. My wedding cake was tasty and I would recommend them.
Our cake not only looked stunning but was absolutely delicious! Carla of Modern Pastry was helpful, attentive and professional. We got numerous compliments on how wonderful the cake tasted. My own sister- in -law told me that she ate 5 pieces!!
I fell in love with one picture in their books, it was a grand cake that was very elegant. Our cake was paid for by our venue which had sent us there. Needless to say I was a bit dissapointed on my wedding day. They did not pay attention to detail and seemed to have skipped some steps that would have made it special. I thought their work was a bit mediocre.
I found out 5 weeks before my wedding my aunt who originally was going to make my cake was no longer able to come to my wedding. So my fiance and I asked around and heard of this place. The cake tasting was incredible! It was moist and the fillings were delicious. Anyway My fiance and I were a little different when it came to picking our cake we wanted chocolate strawberries around the bottom and a couple on each tier. we also wanted the bride and groom chocolate strawberries as our topper. we asked them if they could do this and they mentioned they don't do chocolate strawberries but if we bring them in they have no problems with it. So that is what we did. the day before the wedding we got our strawberries delivered and our order got messed up. We had no groom berry for the top of the cake. Yes, I started to panic! however when I took all the berries down to the bakery they assured me everything would be alright they would figure something out. meanwhile I was on the phone at home with the berry company and they were sending me out the groom berries the next morning (my wedding day)so anyway as promised about a hour and a half before the ceremony they arrived. I raced to the bakery and handed them the groom berries. When i got there they told me I didn't have to do this they actually made me a groom but since I was there they would switch it out for me. I was so shocked and happy that they would go the extra mile do something like that. I told them both to take one of the extra berries and thanked them. I got so many compliments on my cake the taste and look of it was incredible. I am so eager to share my story of a wonderful bakery that does everything they can to make sure your day is perfect with a great cake.
Cake was so good and moist! They where great on helping me pick out my perfect cake! Loved it!This is a bakery of our life time, we intend to buy all our cakes for all occassions here!
I ordered a 4 tiered cake with a fountain and it came out gorgeous. The only thing I would have liked was more sugar orchids added to the cake but overall it was beautiful and delicious.
need I say more? I loved the design, the flavor, I never saw the cake arrive or worried about whether or not it would be there - there were no worries. I was so happy when I saw the cake and it was absolutely perfect!
Anything I have ever eaten from Madern Pastry Shop has been excellent. But what set this shop above other bakerys was the service! I had originally gone to a competitor who made me wait over half an hour (after I made an appointment I had to leave work early for) and, long story short, made me feel very unimportant.
At Modern I just walked in and was welcome with open arms. I worked with Carla who brought me a variety of fillings to try and even made suggestions.
I had brought in a picture of a cake design I liked and Carla helped make suggestions to make it fitting for my wedding.
Modern Pastry Shop was very easy to work with. I had already bought my cake stands and snowflakes for the cake and Modern Pastry had no problems using them.
Excellent prices, fantastic cake-nice and moist- absolutely stunning design!
We had a VERY unique design for our cake. It was a collaboration of ideas and in a 'Mad Hater' syle, with vibrant colors and a mix of buttercream and fondant. Modern Pastry was one of the only bakers willing to take on the task! They have amazing baked goods and their cake was even more proff of that! They let us sample every imaginable filling, and they have a lot to choose from. Their prices were reasonable. The cake turned out exactly how we had pictured it! They even delived over state lines! (They ship other bakery goods out of state as well) PS- The cake also stayed well in the freezer and was still amazing on our 1 year anniversary!;This bakery is amazing, no complaints!
Loved this place. We ordered assorted mini italian pastries for treats; beautiful, abundant, delicious! We ordered a creme puff tower cake as our wedding cake! The best idea ever!
