Extremely easy to talk to and they respond to their emails lightning fast! I loved working with ambrosia and would recommend them to all brides looking for wedding/grooms cakes.

Not only was the cake delicious, the design on the outside was beautiful and elegant! Ambrosia really knows what they are doing. Highly recommend! Book them as early as you can because we booked them about 14 months out and it seemed like I lucked out on having a day they were available.

Both our wedding cake and our groom's cake turned out wonderful and tasted really good (and I'm not a cake person)! Our groom's cake was in the shape of the old LSU tiger's head, ...

and they made sure the cake turned out just like the picture. They were also really easy to work with and made sure the entire process went very smoothly with little stress (and reminded be about little details I forgot, like bringing in the cake topper). We were living out of town for the entire wedding planning process, but Yvette made sure that we were able to sample the cakes on the one day we were available even though no one was available at the store that day. Instead, she had all of the samples ready for us to pick up that Saturday morning, which was super convenient. I would highly recommend Ambrosia - the cakes taste great, the cakes look beautiful, the price is competitive, and the process was very stress free!

for our wedding. The planning process was super easy and stress-free. I had found pictures online of ideas for what we wanted and they truly blew our expectations away. Our wedding cake was three layers with sugar veil on the middle layer. I had no idea what this was, but after doing some research, I learned how difficult it is to do - well, ours was STUNNING! We still get compliments on our wedding cake and groom's cake, which most people didn't realize was actually edible! Cannot recommend Ambrosia's enough!

ur first visit tasting the different cakes and picking out our designs. However, they contacted me via email at 1:30pm the day before my wedding to let me know that they could not created the design we had originally picked out. They were extremely rude when I went by the bakery later that evening to pick a new design for my cake saying that the new design I had picked out would be fine and would not cost any extra. I was very disappointed with the way my cake turned out. It was definitely not up to the usual Ambrosia Bakery standards. I hope no one else has the same experience we unfortunately had.

was very easy to work with--within minutes of my appointment they had drawn a sketch of exactly what I wanted the cake to look like, and the real thing was beautiful! They have tons of experience, so were able to offer me advise on what would and would not work as well. So happy I choose them for my wedding!

absolutely a pleasure to deal with. the only problem we had was the cake tasting, there was no picking one flavor! We ended up with 4 different cakes! I have never imagined so many people would actually call me to ask where the cake came from. I would highly recommend them.
