We had the almond cake with amaretto frosting from Rick’s bakery. They were great to work with and made our cake gorgeous (not to mention delicious)! Also included in the wedding cake purchase, they will make you the same cake for your one year...
anniversary!
They're the best for a reason! Friendly and skillful staff that created the perfect cupcakes and wedding cake for us. We got exactly what we imagined, and they were a huge hit at the reception while they lasted! 11/10
Our cake and all the desserts were delicious! We got everything we wanted and it looked amazing.
We had a Rick’s Bakery cake, so of course it tasted magnificent!! Our contact was very helpful and created a cake that was exactly what we envisioned!!
Rick's Bakery was awesome to work with. I had an idea of what I wanted, but they showed us different options of cakes they had done in the past and completely changed our minds. They other thing I loved was they made great Gluten Free options. ...
I have a gluten allergy so it was important for us to find a bakery who could make a cake or cupcakes gluten free so I could still participate in the day! If you are like me I highly recommend Rick's GF cakes they were delicious and I don't think our guest even knew the difference.
SOOOO, we did our taste testing during Covid- this posed a difficult task considering everything had just begun to open up. Rick's was ready with a plan. Ricks had our tasking request ready and bagged up for us to take in the car. We loved the ...
variety of fillings and cake combinations. We settled on the white chocolate cake with alternating layers of raspberry and blueberry filling. At the wedding the cake was a huge hit. Rick's matched our inspiration photos perfectly and they were on point with the delivery time. Several guest including our wedding planner told us that this was the most moist cake they had ever tasted from Rick's-our wedding planner was surprised to hear that the cake was the white chocolate option- she / other guest expressed this was an amazing cake! I would 100% recommend Rick's- they were wonderful
When I was in college I had the privilege of working at Ricks Bakery, so it was only natural that I wanted my wedding cake to come from there!
I have seen so many photos of beautiful and intricate cakes, and I have seen Ricks create thousands ...
of them. But we were absolutely blown away by how beautiful and tasty ours were! I wanted a simple cake with light icing, and a white chocolate drip. Ricks truly delivered! We had powdered sugar donuts placed all over, and it was a huge hit with our guests. The grooms cake was a fish jumping out of the water, getting grabbed by a hook...Ricks created this vision beyond measure! Our guests (and my now husband) were absolutely mesmerized by this cake.
We had ordered cake for about 150 people, thinking we would give our 300 guests an option of cake or tiramisu. When COVID hit, we had to drop our guest list to 50.
On the bright side, I was looking forward to lots of extra wedding cake. But the next day when I went to pick it up from my parents house, the only thing left was our topper I had specifically asked to save! Our guests loved the cake so much they actually took extra home with them. We could not have asked for more from Ricks. If you get the chance to use them for your wedding, absolutely do! They do not disappoint.
From the tasting to the delivery of our cake everything went great!
Their wedding team was great with communication and making sure that everything was just as we wanted it.
Our cake was gorgeous and tasted amazing!!!
Our cake was delicious and beautiful. We heard Rick's was the best cake in AR and they did not disappoint. The team created a cake that was EXACTLY what we wanted. Thank you!
Not only did Rick’s bakery make a beautiful cake but it was delicious as well! We got so many compliments about how good the cakes were. They were so nice and willing to make the many changes I had before the wedding since I couldn’t make up my...
mind haha. Rick’s is the best and at a great price!
Best cake I’ve ever had. I don’t like wedding cake and I ate probably half the cake myself. I loved that they let me design every single detail of our cake. Each tier had a different flavor and icing and they were all AMAZING! They bring it at ...
the right time, give you boxes to take left overs and give you a cutting guide to cut it after photos. I will now be driving to them for all my cake needs in the future. Worth every penny!
DELICIOUS!! My husband & I ate not even big sweet eaters, but we definitely enjoyed our wedding cake! Lindsey is so wonderful to work with. She made my vision of the perfect wedding cake come true & we are so thankful!! We highly recommend Rick...
s to anyone in need of any kind of sweets, especially wedding cakes!
Rick's is simply THE BEST! From planning and designing our wedding cake, to tasting, delivery, and execution, Rick's was perfect in every way. We were very concerned about the delivery to the reception venue as it sat on top of a very steep hil...
l. We expressed our concerns at our first meeting with Rick's Bakery and they went to the venue to see for themselves and even drove up the hill to ensure they could properly deliver the cake!! That is next level customer service! Everyone at the reception raved about our wedding cake, it seriously was perfect! Some of our guests loved our cake so much that they went to the bakery the next day to buy mini cakes to take home! There's no doubt that Rick's helped make our day perfect and marvelous. Go try it out for yourself and see!
Amazing cake!! Even our guests were raving about it!
We worked with Katie to order a small wedding cake for us to cut and a dessert bar for our guests with cookies, brownies, and cupcakes! The cake was beautiful and delicious! I wanted a "naked" cake with some berries and Rick's delivered! The de...
ssert bar was a huge hit with our guests! We over-ordered on desserts, which was a great decision because guests were walking away with one of each dessert on their plates! At the end of the night we only had 2 brownies, 1 cupcake, and a handful of cookies leftover. If that's not a shining endorsement, I don't know what is! Thanks Rick's!
Tastiest cake ever. VERY reasonably priced and the cake was phenomenal and looked great - exactly what we wanted. They were very easy to work with, too. Highly recommend - all their baked goods are delicious. We also got key lime pies and donut...
s from Rick's for our wedding in place of traditional groom's cake. So yummy!
Our cake was delivered on time and was exactly what we asked for- perfect and delicious!
From the initial phone conversation to the in person consulting appointment, Lindsay was amazing to work with and very insightful as to our budget and various options we could have our both our wedding and groom's cakes. The resulting cakes we...
re more than we could imagine and absolutely delicious. There was not much cake left over at all (because the kids devoured the groom's cake and chocolate covered strawberries!), but there was more than enough for everyone at the wedding reception. Couldn't have picked a better bakery and would recommend them to anyone in the Springdale area.
Lindsey, the wedding coordinator, was so great to work with! Our cake and groom’s cake were exactly what we wanted. We met up with her and got samples of the cakes (that were all so delicious!). You can pick a different flavor for each layer fo...
r no extra charge. They also provide a box for the top layer if you choose to save it. The price was very good for how tasty and beautiful the cakes were. Our venue was in Fayetteville so we had free delivery. They only require a $50 deposit and it goes towards the total of the cake amount. We love Rick’s and we are so happy we chose them for our special day!
Rick’s and a fabulous job with our wedding and groom’s cake! Our cakes looked exactly how we described to them! They dropped off promptly for our rehearsal and wedding day. We received so many compliments. Ricks will always be our go to bakery!
Fantastic job on our wedding cake! On time delivery and very friendly service. Highly recommend!
I used Rick's for my wedding cake & catering and I couldn't have been more pleased! Lindsay, the wedding coordinator, was fabulous to work with. She was so prompt in her responses to my questions, professional, and friendly. If you are having a...
n afternoon reception and don't want to serve a large meal, I strongly recommend their catering. Their sandwiches looked & tasted great- we had many guests go back for seconds! :) Their cake is also outstanding, and they have options for every budget, too. Thank you, Rick's Bakery!
Not only were my cakes beautiful - they were delicious! Our guests gushed about how great they were. Lindsey was very easy to work with to make sure the cakes were exactly what we wanted!
I couldn't have been happier with our cake! It was so delicious that I insisted on eating at least half of the top that was supposed to be saved for our first anniversary (I didn't get a full piece at the wedding. It was so good the guests dem...
olished it so I would suggest asking someone to save a couple of slices for you!). Our appointment to taste test and design the cake was scheduled to be an hour long but I think it may have only taken us 30min. We quickly chose the chocolate with alternating layers of chocolate mousse and chocolate mocha filling. We didn't get a traditional topper and chose to decorate it with fresh flowers instead. I delivered the flowers to Rick's the day before my wedding and asked for someone to "just put them on there however it looks pretty" and they really did it. The wedding cake is a pretty big deal to me and this cake was like a dream.
Our cake was beautiful and tasted amazing just like we knew it would! It was extremely comforting how they communicated with us. The man that delivered the cake was very helpful and even though we had to do a lot of adjusting and shifting to ge...
t the cake in a refrigerated area he still tried to decline our tip. I would definitely recommend Rick’s to anyone for their wedding.
Our cake was beautiful and DELICIOUS! I do wish I had more of a personalized experience working with Rick's Bakery, but overall I am happy with the service I received with their wedding team.
Rick's was so great to work with, Lindsey is super friendly and helpful and easy to contact! Also, unexpectedly, they were so much more affordable than other bakeries around the area! They created a cake that was exactly what I wanted, and had ...
so many flavors to choose from, which was fun to pick! I have people STILL asking where I got the cake and what the flavors were. Also, instead of saving the top layer and freezing it to have for the first anniversary (freezer burned) they will make a replica layer for your first anniversary! So happy with our cake, just wish I could've eaten more of it!
I have used Rick's Bakery for years- they make amazing cookies, donuts, sausage rolls, and now I know they make amazing wedding cakes! Lindsey was my coordinator with Rick's and she was a pleasure to work with. She was accommodating, includin...
g making a last minute change I requested the day before the wedding. The design was simple, elegant, exactly what we had talked about when we met. And of course the cake was absolutely delicious. I had so many compliments and everyone liked it so much that there were no left overs even though we had planned for more cake than guests.
AMAZING, the cake was gorgeous and the taste just delicious!
We met with Lindsay and wasn't sure what we wanted but after looking at pictures and talking through options we chose what we wanted. Rick's executed this flawlessly & we had so many comments on how great the cakes tasted.
Loved our wedding cakes from Rick's! We showed them pictures and they recreated the cakes perfectly. Everyone complimented the taste as well. They delivered the cakes on time, and Lindsay made the process very easy. Can't imagine using anyone e...
lse!
We love Rick's Bakery for their cakes, cookies, cake pops, and any sweet treat, so why wouldn't we use them for our big day?! Using Rick's was a no-brainer. We had a wonderful tasting appointment that allowed us to pick from several flavors of ...
cake and icing combinations that suited our tastes. We received tons of help from their wedding coordinator who helped us pick a classic bridal cake with roses added that we brought in on the day of (perfectly replicated an image of a cake we loved) and helped us to have a Razorback football field groom's cake that was perfect for any hog fan! Their cake was moist, sweet, and delicious. We chose Italian creme cake for our bridal cake and Death by Chocolate with ganache for the groom's cake. They delivered to our venue and we were so impressed with the finished product. Check them out for your event!
Rick's did a great job helping us select a wedding cake and pies. As neither the groom or I like or care about cake at all, they guided us through options that would please the most people, and they had plenty of personalization and design opt...
ions! We also wanted pie to serve at the reception, and they helped us pick out several different types of pies. Everything was delicious and a huge hit with the guests!
The cake was exactly like we had planned. The cake topper was perfect and the flavor was amazing.
Perfect cake!
It was perfect! Everyone at the wedding loved the cake and was sure to tell me!
I love ricks bakery for their cookies so I knew I would like them for their cakes! It was so good and so pretty! They were super easy to work with.
The best cake I've ever had and it was perfect! I loved it!!
We used Rick's Bakery for our 5-tier wedding cake and two groom's cakes. They were all delicious and exactly how we envisioned them. The groom's cakes were an Arkansas Razorback and the St. Louis Cardinals Logo--AWESOME! The artistry was beauti...
ful and they tasted delicious. Rick's is a bit expensive, but totally worth the money!
Great cake! Great flavor!
I REALLY wanted a Rick's cake for my wedding. When I met with them to discuss what I wanted, they kept trying to change it. They would not compromise with me at all. They told me that what I wanted "didn't look like a Rick's cake" so they co...
uldn't do it for me. Luckily a friend of a friend knew a baker that ended up making a beautiful cake that was just what we wanted.
Rick's does the BEST cakes!! They did an awesome job and they tasted delicious!!!
I was so impressed with my favorite bakery in Fayetteville! They were not only creative with my idea of a cake pop bridal cake- they went above and beyond to make it everything I wanted. They also made 4 grooms cakes of all my husband's favorit...
e sports teams and they looked good and were delicious. Loved everything about them! Use them!!
Our cake turned our beautiful and it tasted great. How can you not love Rick's cake? The price for both a traditional cake and a groom's cake was cheaper than I was expecting just the traditional cake to cost. Only negative thing I can say is t...
hat halfway between the day we ordered the cake and our actual wedding day I went in and changed the frosting details of the main cake and changed the filling of one of the tiers, but on the day of the wedding none of those changes were reflected. It was a little disappointing because the frosting design I originally picked before we got too far into the planning process didn't match the final theme of our wedding as well. But at the end of the day it was still beautifully executed and tasted great.
I had a really great time working with Rick's Bakery designing my wedding cake. They had some great ideas and really got the feeling of what my theme was. I actually changed my cake design about three times and every time they were incredibly n...
ice and helpful. When I saw my wedding cake it took my breath away. It was stunning. I think that is the only word I could think of. It was just stunning. Apart from how it looked it was delicious! Most of the comments from that day were how delicious the cake was. I had several guests that went back for several pieces!
They were very easy to get a hold of and answered all of my questions promptly. Overall this is the best cake bakery in this state. My sister had her wedding cake done at Rick's and it was both breathtakingly gorgeous and just delicious. If you need a cake- that's where you should go. End of story!
We caked tested everywhere is NWA and Rick's was by far the best! They had all of the cake, icing, and filling options at the cake testing. I felt confident from the book of cakes they had done that what we wanted would be done!
They did amazing on our wedding cake! So many compliments on how great it looked and how delicious it was!
Overall I was pleased with my cake. However, a couple of comments - when I arrived at my venue one of the flowers on my cake had fallen off! It caused a big hole in the cake and my venue had to improvise to get it to stay (which it did for abou...
t half the reception). My only other comment would be about the correspondence back and forth. I don't think the person I spoke with always was keeping my package in mind when quoting amounts. Overall, however, the cake was beautiful and tasted great.
Rick's was great they helped us design a beautiful cake that went so well eith us and our wedding day! The cake tasted delicious and our options were unlimited! Also they trrated us wonderful, as a same sex couple we were worried we would run i...
nto some difficulty but they were great and never treated us differently.
Our wedding cake was fabulous and they went above and beyond on the design. We had several compliments on not only the looks but the taste as well. Loved them!
Ricks bakery is amazing! I love going there so I thought why don't we just use them for our wedding cake too. They were so easy to work with and able to answer any question I had. My husband wanted an xbox cake for his grooms cake and they we...
re able to make that for us no problems. They make our main cake so beautiful that it was a great centerpiece and talking point of our wedding. Guests loved it! And everyone, including ourselves, loved the taste and couldn't get enough of it. Their cake is amazing!
They were very helpful and patient! Great cake and service!!!
one of a kind bakery. Cakes are superior quality
Both the wedding cake and the groom's cake turned out just perfect! The cakes were both moist and the flavors were absolutely delicious!
Our cakes very awesome! Everyone loved them.. yummy and gorgeous! :) Shannon is great!
I will say I am not a fan of cake, but I loved this cake. So Yummy! I can't wait to dig into the 1st year anniversary leftovers. However, the designs that we had meetings over were not right. I did not particularly like the way the cakes looked...
at all. They looked like they had blue designs. And my wedding was all neutrals. I was a little disappointed in that part, but as far the tasting goes you won't be let down.
The wedding cake was absolutely beautiful. I knew I had an idea (vows written on the cake) but after that I had no clue! They did such a great job designing and for a fair price. Not to mention the cake was so yummy!
I've always been very happy with cakes from Rick's so it was a no-brainer to go to them for our wedding cake. Tasting the different cakes/fillings they had was one of the most enjoyable parts of wedding planning and the wedding cake (white w/ w...
hite chocolate filling) and the groom's cake (strawberry w/ strawberry creme filling) were delicious and gorgeous
I wish I could attach a picture of what I emailed them that I wanted an exact replica of & a picture of what was delivered to my reception. I ordered 120 fall themed cupcakes. Half chocolate, half vanilla. Where they went wrong was making t...
hem look anything like what I sent a picture of. They should have all been in orange cupcake papers. They came in white/clear so they were the color of the cake showing through. There should have been 3-4 sugar leaves on each cupcake. I got 1-2 per cupcake. The leaves should have been bright orange. I can't even describe what color these leaves were (not bring orange!!) the icing on top was also nowhere close to the color in the picture & it was put on very sloppy. On the up side. They tasted great & were deliver on time.
You just can't go wrong with Rick's. Rick's knows wedding cakes. We stayed traditional with a white cake and buttercream frosting, and it was amazing. They deliver for free within Fayetteville and can create just about any cake you want. Shanno...
n at Rick's is easy to work with and great at helping you come up with the perfect cake.
If you're looking for a baker then look no further. Our cake was absolutely amazing. We had a Halloween wedding so I was looking for a wedding cake but not a traditional style. Shannon was only too willing to deliver. Not only was our cake the ...
most beautiful cake I have ever seen, it was delicious too! We also ordered a sugar free cake on the side. She airbrushed it to look exactly like the tiered cake. Guests said it was the best tasting sugar free cake they've ever had. Even the staff at our venue were still talking about the cake days later (and I know that's true because we stayed at the same hotel for several days after the event!). It was delivered on time, set up wonderfully and all our dealings with the bakery were extremely pleasant. And as an added bonus - Shannon delivered the cake herself completely dressed up for Halloween!
Our cakes were Beautiful! We ordered a bridal cake and grooms cake. Everything was planned out either by email or phone since I had a destination wedding. Rick's was great with understanding exactly what I wanted and spectacular customer servic...
e. Everything turned out gorgeous and was the best cake I have ever tasted. True Story! This vendor deserves 10 stars for every catagory
I was a little worried when I did the taste test, but the cake the cake was fabulous the night of the wedding.
I am very biased because I frequented Rick's weekly when I lived in NWA. The wedding cake was wonderful. There have been complaints of dried out cakes from this vendor, but both the wedding cake and groom's cake were very moist and delicious. ...
We gave them a picture of the Sedona airport for the groom's cake, and they matched it perfectly. It was awesome.
Rick's made the wedding cake process so easy and affordable. I have a pet peeve of throwing wedding cake away and they did not try to over sell cake just to make an extra buck. We had plenty of cake for 200! The estimates they give you for th...
e types of wedding cakes they sell are exact!
I loved testing cakes with Shannon, the Rick's Wedding Specialist. She was incredibly helpful and ordering our cake was a breeze. She helped us stay within our budget and answered my emails and questions very quickly.
Absolutely LOVED the wedding and grooms cake. It tasted great, they showed up on time, nothing went wrong! YUM!
The wedding cake coordinator was amazing and very helpful. Great service, my cake was beautiful and just what I wanted!
We got both the wedding cake and the grooms cake from Ricks for our wedding. I was very particular with what I envisioned about my cake and the delivered. The grooms cake was adorable too. We ordered a tower of cupcakes with iPhone apps on top ...
of them. We were worried about the detail of the apps and were just hoping for the best but they turned out great!
Everyone loved how both tasted and they are still raving about them!
Both the bride and the grooms cakes were beautiful.
My cake was a 3 tier butter cream cake. The bottom layer was white cake with buttercream filling and was so good! The middle layer was red velvet cake with a cream cheese filling. And the top of our cake was white cake with a raspberry filling ...
that we are saving for our 1 year. We also got a guitar grooms cake that was chocolate. The only thing I wish is that we would have had that cake more in the middle. It was sort of tucked in the corner and not too many people got to see it. Shannon, who is the wedding coordinator is very helpful and nice!
Our cakes far exceeded our expectations! If you choose Rick's you will not regret it! Extremely fair pricing and customer service was top notch!
I have always loved Rick's cakes. So when it came time for my wedding, I didn't even shop around; I had already chosen them to do my wedding cake. This inevitably was my biggest mistake. I had no idea that they charged so much for such simpl...
e cake designs, and by the time they quoted me any prices it was already too late to look elsewhere. Other than that, I was very pleased with the design and quality of both our wedding cake and the groom's cake. I would recommend them to someone with an unlimited budget. For the rest of you, though, I would definitely recommend shopping around.
Everybody I talked to when planning my wedding said I HAD to use Rick's...and as soon as my husband put that first bite of cake in my mouth I knew why. SO delicious. We had a simple but beautiful 3 tiered square wedding cake and an acoustic g...
uitar shaped groom's cake (looked real!) and everybody loved them both. The price was a little higher than I originally planned on spending on cake, but in the end it was worth it!
Rick's made my wedding cake even better than I had pictured. And as always, it was so yummy! Their strawberry cake is to die for! The price is pretty comparable with other popular bakeries in the area and is worth every penny!
Rick's service and quality were great. The Wedding cake department was extremely helpful, letting my taste an assortment of cakes, and filling. My wedding cake was truly the best tasting cake I have ever eaten. I new exactly what I wanted my...
cake to look like, and they made sure it happened. The only complaint I would make is that they are much more expensive than all of the other bakeries around Northwest Arkansas. But, depending on your budget, and how important the cake is to you. The price is worth their service and product.
could not do what i wanted in a cake
Who doesn't love cake?! The grooms marble cake with chocolate ganache and chocolate covered strawbwerries was devoured by all. The brides cake top and bottom layer were lemon with lemon-raspberry filling-OMG it was SO good! I also had a white l...
ayer with cream cheese filing and a white layer with raspberry filling. Yumo!
I kept the cake simple and sleek withe and smooth Ivory/Pearl finish and a light pink monogram.
