Potter's did an amazing job with our cake! They were good at answering all of our questions and concerns prior to the wedding and made sure the cake was handed over to us perfect and ready to go! The cake was delicious as well!! I would highly ...
recommend using them for your wedding dessert needs!
Thank you Potter's Bakery! They were able to make a delicious cake for our wedding. I was able to send a picture of what we were looking for in our wedding cake and Potter's Bakery was spot on! They were very easy to work with and very professi...
onal... I would recommend this bakery to anyone looking for a quality wedding cake.
Our cake was delicious, but that's the only positive. It wasn't frosted as ordered with the few details that we requested. It was also put on a board that didn't fit the cake stand we paid $75+ to rent for the day. When we called to complain, t...
hey told us that the cake plate should have sat atop the cake stand, which we explained that it didn't stably stay on top. We ended up fixing it ourselves the day of our wedding with a dinner plate (classy), but Potter's didn't even attempt to rectify the situation or even apologize. The last thing I wanted to be worrying about the day of my wedding was my cake falling off the cake stand, but that's what I got to spend my time on.

I honestly would like to talk to you again as I thought we had talked about your concerns. Potter's did refund your frame deposit of $75.00 on 9/11/17. I will be talking to you soon!
Any questions?
We absolutely loved working with Potter's Bakery for our August wedding! Kathy and Andrea made great recommendations and were so easy to communicate with! Our wedding cake definitely tasted as good as it looked. Furthermore, we had two guests w...
ho were gluten-free and we ordered Potter's gluten-free vanilla cupcakes which were met with high praise.
Potter's did a beautiful job on our cake. Kathy was wonderful to work with. She took my simple "vision" and translated it into a gorgeous cake. Delicious as well. :)
Thank you to Potter's Bakery for creating a beautiful cake for our wedding day! We also had donut holes for our guests and they were scrumptious!!!
I had a very difficult time getting ahold of them and I had asked for teal and ended up with forest green. I had wanted a square cake but it was too much work for them. The actual cake was alright. Not worth the hassle or the over priced cake. ...
They wanted over $300 for a cake for 30 people! It was very disappointing. Won't ever go back.

Square cakes are more expensive than round cakes. Fondant covered cakes along with intricate detailed cakes take a lot longer to finish and will cost more.
We were delighted to find that Potter's made wedding cakes as we have always enjoyed their donuts. We were able to get our dream wedding cake, three tier with two different flavors of cake (orange which is their best in my opinion and yellow), ...
along with a groom sheet cake that was chocolate with mocha frosting. Their cake is very moist, and the icing isn't sickeningly sweet which is a huge plus in my book!We had barely any cake left - and that's saying something because we cut all three layers, had a sheet cake, and we ordered a donut tree from them. *All* of the donuts were gone before salad was even served and the other desserts didn't last much longer. We were able to satisfy people's sweet tooth early on without having to cut into the cake immediately. Plus - the donut tree was a very nice addition to the look of the dessert table. Very happy with Potter's! We highly recommend them - just know if you go with the donut tree there is a deposit and a separate use fee, just wish we would have known before the week of the wedding. Oh - and the tasting is free, you get cupcakes in the different flavors, if you want to try something other than the basic flavors, let them know.
We decided on cupcakes for our wedding because of the huge cost associated with the full cakes. These cupcakes were delicious! Super moist and very well priced. They were so tasty that I didn't have any left over from my wedding because people ...
went back for more. They were easy to work with and answered all questions along the way.
affordable easy to work with and the ladies were amazingly friendly!;the delivery charge!
