Papa Hadyn

ean lines, but it was very tasty! I even added a last minute extra mini-cake to ensure all the guests would get a piece and then some. We're looking forward to our anniversary cake next June!

course besides being georgous, her cakes and desserts are absolutely delicious. Thank you so so much!!

avors and how much cake we needed. Day of, our cake was absolutely beautiful and exactly what we had discussed. Hands down, we got the most compliments on our cake. Pretty much EVERY person at our wedding told us how amazing the cake was. We provided to-go boxes and I was glad we had snagged some for ourselves because ALL of it was taken. All of this and we get an anniversary cake, which we have already talked about multiple times!! THANK YOU to Ashley for making our vision come true.

an assortment of 8 different cakes for guests to sample. Ashley and the team at Papa Haydn worked with us to put together 8 cakes for our big day and they were both beautiful and delicious. Some cakes on the menu were unavailable but Ashley worked with us to make custom cakes similar to those unavailable for our big day. We can't thank you enough for the delicious experience! Thank you!

ivered on time, and the flowers she chose were perfect! The cake itself was so decadent and delicious. Especially considering the price compared to other bakers in the area, you cannot go wrong with ordering your wedding cake from Papa Hadyn!

cake and some additional rounds. The cakes were frosted and arranged so beautifully, our cake table looked like it came straight out of a bridal magazine. From the initial tasting to the wedding, working with Ashley was a pleasure. We are very much looking forward to picking up our complimentary anniversary cake next year (how awesome is that!?)!

s also incredibly helpful in figuring out what would work best for decor and styling with the cakes we had chosen. We both love Papa Haydn desserts so much that we special ordered several of their menu classics, along with an simple and elegant cutting cake for my husband and I. You can't go wrong with Papa Haydn!

would make the cake a lot more expensive without adding taste, she offered us some great ideas to still get a similar look while keeping it well within our budget. We were able to select 3 very different flavors for our 3 tiers of cake without any additional fees, allowing our guests to get a lot of variety. We had a gorgeous cake for a very affordable price and also got to order some 9" round side cakes that were not displayed to help feed all of our guests while helping our budget. I felt that Ashley was really organized and easy to talk to as we made some modifications to our order. Also of note, the gold cake stand they provide for a small rental fee is large and gorgeous!

delicious wedding cakes, but at least we’d get some free cake! The cake was of course to die for (banana cake with cinnamon cream cheese frosting is the flavor I never knew my life was missing), but what really blew us away was Ashley’s expertise. We came in thinking we’d ask for a quote on cupcakes and a small cutting cake to save money, but Ashley suggested making our dollars stretch further by having three separate “side cakes” instead, each in a different flavor, a different buttercream texture on the outside, and fresh flowers on top. She sketched out a mock-up of what it would look like, assuring us it would be unexpected and dramatic and IT WAS! We actually went under budget for our wedding cake, and it was everything we could have dreamed of and more. When the cakes were delivered the day of the wedding (the Sunday before Labor Day), we didn’t even see the wonderful person who set everything up and placed our cake topper just right. Our guests loved it, we even got to eat some at the wedding, and we kept on eating it for the next two days before leaving for the honeymoon! Now all that’s left is to decide what flavor to order for our complimentary first anniversary cake… that might be the toughest obstacle of our marriage so far.

d that fondant didn't taste great and it cost more and it still looked (and tasted) amazing the day of! I highly recommend!

y to transport. We also felt that they were very reasonable in cost perfect!!

our budget but we were so wrong! Compared to other wedding cake bakeries the price is competitive (and the clear winner). We decided to get a 3 tier cake and mini desserts to accompany the cake. Everything tasted beyond fantastic! At the wedding, the cake looked exactly how I pictured it. Ashley was wonderful to work with-always friendly, responsive and open to whatever we wanted. We recommended Papa Haydn whole heartedly! Thank you Ashley! :)

s are to die for. Ashley was great to work with and took my order just as seriously as a traditional wedding cake order. We bought 7 different cakes and had more than enough for our 110 guests. People were drooling over the cake table all night and everyone jumped to get in line when we finally cut the cake. It was great for people to have options for what flavor they wanted, too. I got so many compliments that people actually truly enjoyed the wedding cake for once! Definitely would recommend!

out and the main layer was SO DRY! Super disappointing. I barely had a bite of my own cake.

shley did AMAZING work, I was floored by the beauty of our cake. We had 3 different flavors, 1 for each tier, and they were so moist and tasty. We had so many compliments on it.

stopper. Many of our guests actually thought the cake was fake, as the frosting was so perfect and symmetrical. The cake was probably about 4 feet tall by the end and it was amazing! I'm a huge cake girl, and this is truly Portland's best! Can't wait for our complimentary anniversary cake come November!

rs for our cake and it looked exactly the way we wanted.

at next bite in a year.... And not just delicious (poppyseed and cream with strawberries for filling in one layer and lemon chiffon for the top layer) the cake was beautifully decorated similar to a photo I had provided. Ashley and her team at Papa Haydn did an amazing job. Please don't cheat yourself by not taste testing here--the cakes are beautiful, delicious, and compared well in price to the other bakeries we checked out (while tasting much better!).

we make sure to stop in. The cake was delicious, and worth every penny. Even if you don't like cake, theirs will please your taste buds.

te fudge like middle, to die for! They also will give you a 6in cake on your anniversary complimentary, NICE!

sy Disney themed. She worked it in easily in the gold filigree icing. It looked so elegant! The flavors were amazing, I wish we had made the biggest layer lemon instead of chocolate, we took so much home from overestimating how much we would need (and having a few guests leave early before the cake cutting). Very easy to work with, and actually surprisingly affordable compared to other cake shops for the size and quality of the cake. Delivered on time in perfect condition. Had to take the cake stand back the next day (kind of a hassle when we were headed to the airport) but our parents kindly took it back to Sellwood for us. Overall a great experience.

try chefs, and the cost of our cake went up, even though half of it was styrofoam. AND, as most newlyweds probaly know, you don't get to enjoy your cake or food at the wedding! (at least we didn't: we were too busy "making the rounds") Ashley designed the perfect cake for us, and I wish I could say it was worth every penny, but the photos are stunning, and the one bite I had was absolutely delicious! :)

colate ganache. Nobody does cakes better! Everyone raved about the cake, and several people went back for seconds of a different flavor. The tasting process was also fun and delicious! We were able to try (8) different cake/icing combinations which was more than most other bakeries allowed or prepared. Additionally, you might think due to the quality of Papa Haydn desserts that their wedding cakes might cost more. They don't! They were right in line with most other bakeries around town - and the flavor and freshness couldn't be beat.

ach tier and each one came out perfect! The only bummer is the steep delivery fee for venues outside Portland. Our delivery fee was more than half of the price of the cake itself! But we still wouldn't go with a cake from anywhere else because it was that good!

We had a very small wedding and got a two layer hexagon shaped cake. It sounds weird but it looked square and was the size we needed. We chose for the bottom a chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and raspberry alternating filling, for the top layer we did carrot cheesecake which was to die for. It had ivory butter cream which was perfect because my dress was ivory. The cake was amazing and everyone loved it. Some guests even took a piece with them to eat when they flew home : ) It was to die for!!!

even better!

went to, which tried to convince me of all the extra frills I couldn't possibly live without). Wedding cake is all about presentation, but Papa Haydn's cakes actually taste great too. My cake was beautiful and the cake designer sat down with me and designed exactly what I wanted. Wonderful place.
