I was so happy when my wedding coordinator, Simone Lennon, recommended this bakery because we were not happy with any of the others we had tried. During our tasting session, Gerard won us over instantly with his personality, his portfolio, but... most of all his absolutely delicious cakes! We booked him instantly. He is able to do pretty much any design, size, and special request. For me, I was concerned about taste, and wanted just a simple design for the cake. I did not have a specific idea in mind, but sent a few pictures of cakes that I liked. On my wedding day, he brought the cake to the venue, and when he saw the cake stand and other decor, he decided that the cake needed something extra, and he added some decorations on the spot. The cake turned out absolutely beautiful - perfect for my style and the wedding. We had two flavors, the brie au kirsch and the triple chocolate mousse, and they were both delectable - huge hits at the reception. The best part is that his bakery in Monterey serves these flavors, so we can go back anytime to taste our wedding cake again. They have excellent breakfast and lunch to boot! I would recommend this bakery to anyone have a wedding in the area. It beats out its competition by a landslide!
