We wanted a simple three layer cake that tasted great and Nellies did just that. First I was Impressed with all the gorgeous designs they had to offer but they also had the shabby chic simple style I was looking for. And of course- the white cake tasted amazing! In addition- my husband wanted chocolate chip cookies instead of a grooms cake and our guest ate those right up!
Nellie's cake is SO good, and was beautifully made for our wedding. We did a four-tier cake with almond flavoring plus sheet cakes, a small round marble cake for the groom's cake, and my mom also used Nellie for my bridal shower cake/cookies. All of these experiences were great! Nellie is so experienced in the business, so everything was efficient and delicious and beautiful! I got married in the middle of May (wedding/graduation season) and there were no hiccups in the process whatsoever. I also got married at Belvoir Winery in Liberty, so the delivery was free and they did an amazing job assembling the cake.
We used them for wedding cookies. Amazing quality. Lovely people to work with. Beautiful designs and very reasonable pricing for their excellent quality. Would certainly use again.
The best wedding cake I've ever had!
Arrived on time and so moist and looked amazing
Our cake was beautiful and delicious. We had butter cream frosting, but they can do fondant and really amazing sugarpaste flowers, too. They have lots of flavors and filling options which you can taste for a very small fee. (Vanilla is free to taste!) For our wedding cake we had a couple layers of plain white cake and a couple of raspberry swirl (which everyone loved). Then we had chocolate for the groom's cake. They can do lots of fun designs for those as well. They also have adorable sugar cookies that we thought about using as wedding favors, but we decided to make our own. The staff was very helpful and friendly.
Everything was extremely delicious - light, moist, and beautiful. They even agreed to do a cake that had extra almond flavoring in it since that's my favorite flavor!
The cake was gorgeous and delicious! Beyond my expectations!
the cake was gorgeous and 100% perfect! I will be going back there for other events!!
I've been a fan and faithful customer of Nellie's for years, so was excited to have them make my wedding cake. It was a big hit with everyone at the wedding! Our wedding was outside the KC city limits but they found the house without any problems, and made a great addition to our farm wedding.
Nellie's did an awesome job on my cake! I brought in a picture of what I wanted and the final product turned out so much better! It tasted wonderful too!
They did an amazing job. They matched the wedding colors perfectly and were so professional and not too pushy. They were very helpful and friendly. They were very prompt and so helpful. They delivered the cake and were so great to work with. They cake looked and tasted amazing and they weren't very expensive. Really know there stuff and would recommend for your wedding or any other occasion you might be needing a cake for!
We had a very small cake for our reception and Nellie's was perfect. The whole experience was stress-free and easy. You can't beat it for the price and quality.
We loved our beautiful 6 tier all ivory cake with detail design. It was more than I planned on spending, but my husband really wanted it and so we splurged. We had white, chocolate and strawberry layers and they all tasted great.
I went to Nellie's to purchase my wedding cake, and it was a big mistake! I would NOT recommend their services. While their cake tastes good, it is a poorly run business with bad customer service. They lack professionalism and caring; in an industry where both are required.
Here's what happened: After meeting with the owner in person several times, describing in detail what type of decoration I wanted on my wedding cake, AND providing a photograph of exactly what the cake was to look like, AND providing several cell phone numbers they could call in case there were any questions or problems before or on the day of the wedding; I excited to see my cake on the wedding day. But what I got was a big disappointment!!
While the cake tasted good, they did not use the color that I had specified for the decorations (that was also shown in the photo!).... And so, not only did our cake not match our carefully planned reception, but NONE of the detail on the cake even shows in pictures! Needless to say, both my new husband and I were VERY disappointed and saddened at how it turned out.
A few days after the wedding, I returned to Nellie’s to express my unhappiness with their product, but was told the owner wasn't there, and to come back…. I went back the next day... only to be told the same thing again (frustrating!). I left my phone number, and the owner finally called. When I told her about what had happened, she admitted being unsure of what color to use when decorating the cake, and admitted that what happened was ENTIRELY their fault for not writing down the details; but when I asked why she didn't bother to call me to clarify, or even look at the picture, she had NO good answer. She didn't even apologize! I asked her if there was any type of compensation or refund she could offer me because her blatant error had tarnished our wedding day. She acted as if she had no idea what I meant...(hello, refund some of the more than $350 I paid!?), and then said that she guessed she could make us a new cake top.....Um, what good does that do now, AFTER the wedding? You cannot recreate the special moments on your wedding day. I told her as much, and she said nothing.
If you want your "dream wedding" (as most brides do), take your business elsewhere.
The cake was wonderful. They told me exactly how much cake I should get. Everyone received a piece of cake. There was no cake left over. Which was great because I sure didn't need it. Well ok except the top cake.
Nellies was very accomodating with the times that the cake had to be dropped off at our venue! Loved them!
They were a smaller company that truly loved to bake-my cake was AWESOME. In fact, we just had our one year anniversary cake today and it was delicious. (contrary to how I've heard others turns out!)
