The Buttery

were, as they were written with multiple people debating on what flavor was what. Needless to say we will be taking our business elsewhere.

use and handled all the communication with the florist to ensure the flowers on the cake were prefect. I highly recommend the Buttery!!

me as cupcakes as well as chocolate with Marion berry filling as cupcakes and people were LOSING it over how good they were. They were also so beautiful. They delivered to our venue and made the whole process so easy and seamless. We very highly recommend the buttery!

seed with Italian buttercream which was delicious. We will definitely be using and visiting The Buttery every chance we get!

to have both a cake to cut and 6 different flavors of cupcakes, and even worked with our florist directly to add some flowers to the cake! The cupcakes were one of the most raved-about part of the wedding and were SO good that they were all eaten before the end of the night! They were easy to work with, accommodating for our many requests even during COVID, and make some absolutely delicious cakes! I would highly recommend them for your wedding cake and cupcake needs!

ors, ie lemon tart, eclairs, cupcakes, cookies & cake pops. Delicious!!!! If I had one critique it would be the total number of items we ordered. We had a lot left over. So, would have been helpful if the bakery could have assisted us in a final count of items.

resh and flawless. Our guests knew from their first bite why we drove down to Santa Cruz from San Jose to pick everything up the day before and could not stop at one flavor option. We ordered a single-tier Neapolitan cake with buttercream frosting as well as Mint Chocolate, German Chocolate, and Chiffon Marionberry cupcakes. We will be enjoying cake from The Buttery on every upcoming wedding anniversary! Thank you!!

we worked with was patient and listened to our ideas and found us the perfect mix to make our delicious cake. Will definitely be using The Buttery again in the future.

th no problems.

I wanted it and eceryone was friendly and super easy to work with! The carrot cake was the biggest hit (not your average carrot cake!) sooo good!!

with as she has such a great eye for detail.

arrot cake and the chocolate fudge.

he consultation room is very nice - it's away from the hustle and bustle of their very busy bakery, well lit, and there are nice display cakes in a variety of styles and colors to give ideas. Jill started by showing us a picture book of their work and also collecting information from us/giving us information. This part took about 30 minutes. We had some vague ideas, but nothing very solid, and this was the first of our three appointments. Jill was able to guide us through the design process and helped us make decisions. She was also very accommodating - there were a few things we weren't ready to decide, and that was OK. The best part, of course, was the tasting! We got to try 8 or 9 different flavors, along with a couple of filling options in little cups. The presentation of the cakes was really nice, but what we ended up appreciating a lot was the portion sizes - each slice was quite large. We ate less than half of each while we were there, and Jill packaged up the rest for us to take home. This actually made a really big difference - we did a second tasting on our own the next day. It helped a lot to refresh our memories (and taste buds) about what everything was, and we actually had slightly different opinions the second time around than we did the first time. The options were all delicious. We ended up choosing two flavors: - the chocolate cake with the chocolate ganache filling, and we added the ollalieberry jam with whipped cream as a second filling - the carrot cake (which they make with coconut in it. Sounds kinda strange, but it's AMAZING!!!) Now, I'm a cake person - I love cake in general (if it's good cake). The Buttery's carrot cake is the best I've ever had, and the chocolate cake was also in the top 3. My wife, on the other hand, isn't a cake person. She doesn't like cake. She eats it sometimes if she has to. She especially doesn't like carrot cake, and she HATES coconut. She LOVED both flavors of cake we selected. Need I say more?? :) We were very happy to have plenty of leftover cake after the wedding - it took us weeks to polish it off and we were sad when it was all gone, although the scale is better for it. On Jill's advice, we got a separate "keeper" cake for our 1-year anniversary. It was delivered to the aquarium along with our main cake, but it was already pre-packaged by The Buttery's staff - the cake itself was wrapped in plastic, then boxed, then bagged in more plastic. I'm pretty sure it would keep for way longer than a year in our freezer. I'm also pretty sure it'll meet an early demise. We were extremely pleased with every aspect of our interaction with Jill and The Buttery - we will definitely be repeat customers, and highly recommend them to anyone getting married or needing a cake for any special event.

e was absolutely gorgeous and everyone raved about the taste and intricate starfish/shell design. Their Carrot, Neapolitan and devils food with chocolate ganache & caramel mousse was absolutely a cake connoisseurs dream. It was wonderful to work with such a great team of people. This bakery has it all, great pastries, cakes, cupcakes, sandwiches and coffee to make everyone happy! A true Santa Cruz gem!

ne year anniversary. I will definitely be back for another anniversary to recreate a smaller version of our cake! If you like carrot cake.... This one is the best!!!

l & delicious. Their buttercream icing is tasty & goes on so smoothly you don't NEED to suffer that pasty fondant coating to get a pretty cake. Our design sessions/tasting was tough since we didn't come prepared but their portfolio gave us enough to close on an idea we both liked - and their execution day-of was perfect. It looked beautiful, tasted great, and arrived on time. With wedding cake, it's expensive, so minus a star for value, but if you're settled on wedding cake the Buttery is the way to go!

ked like...until I saw it. And it was stunning!!! It was so perfectly done that people actually thought it was fake. Oh, and I can't forget the taste. It was DELICIOUS!! I can't wait for my 1st anniversary so we can dig into the top teir that's in our freezer. And yes, I have gone back to The Buttery since our wedding in May and have had more of their amazing desserts. I absolutely recommend The Buttery and for more than just wedding cakes.
