The Flour Child is great! They are super sweet and amazing to work with. My sister used them for her wedding and we loved them so much we used them for our wedding! They are super kind, professional, and everything they make (cake, desserts, co...
okies, butter bars) is amazing!
We got married in February and our wedding cake from the Flour Child was definitely one of the highlights of the day for us and our guests. The cake is SO good, so much better than any other wedding cake I've ever had. I will definitely be orde...
ring again for future events! My dreams of having a large wedding cake were also met when they suggested we have a "fake" cake with a real cake wedge for us to cut. Our cake looked exactly as I imagined it to be and tasted even better! Don't go anywhere else for your wedding cake!
We were married on February 3, 2023 and The Flour Child girls could not have given us a better wedding cake! For our wedding, The Flour Child provided us with an affordable option that suited us perfectly. After our individual consultation, the...
girls from The Flour Child created our dream wedding cake near perfect to our vision. We provided them a picture of the cake we desired and they delivered it to us with every guarantee it would be what we envisioned. AND IT WAS! Not only did they paint the exact picture onto our cake that we wanted, but they enhanced it with embellishments and beauty.
We chose a two-tiered cake with a wedge just for us to cut. We wouldn’t have to save/freeze an entire tiered cake for our anniversary because they will provide a fresh made anniversary cake! Our personal cake was also painted with our theme and decorated with buttercream to look and feel like a non-artificial cake. Then for our guests (approximately 80), we were able to chose 3 auxiliary cakes in different flavors. Our guests raved about the taste and were asking for more after the wedding!
The Flour Child delivered our cake to our venue and set-up our cake topper. They were professional and went above and beyond to provide us with an affordable and beautiful personal cake in addition to the most delicious sheet cakes for guests!
Anyone looking for an affordable wedding cake vendor, we would highly recommend the girls at The Flour Child!
Any questions?

Our wedding cake from The Flour Child was AMAZING! During the design process, we decided to do a faux cake and have four different sheet cakes so the actual "wedding cake" didn't have to be sliced and served. That also allowed us to play with c...
ake flavors and different icings. Honestly, they were the best cakes I have ever eaten! I can't recommend the girls at The Flour Child enough!
If you are at all on the fence about who to select for your cake artist.. let me tell you to stop looking now and hire The Flour Child! The design process was so simply and easy. The tasting was phenomenal. The Cinnamon Roll cake is probably ...
the best cake I've ever tasted. The final result was flawless and gorgeous!! They were priced affordably and it gave us the opportunity to do a cookie table as well - that was also amazing!! I will be ordering from them again, without question!
We chose the Flour Child based on my (now) husband's sister's recommendation. The cakes we sampled were absolutely delicious. When our wedding cake arrived, I was stunned at how it EXACTLY looks like the inspiration photos I provided. With the ...
florals from Everafter Floral Design included, the cake was absolutely stunning. Definitely recommend The Flour Child for any of your cake needs! :)
My wedding cake from the Flour Child turned out amazing! They are super affordable which was important to me, as I don't really like cake, so the cake was not the most important part of my day. I did care about how it looked, though, and they d...
id a wonderful job making my vision come to life. The cake was delicious and all of our guests were raving about it!
Undoubtedly, for our wedding, the cake tasting and the cake itself was of top level importance for my husband. His motto for the wedding reception was jokingly steak and cake (we had to have an amazing steak to eat and a scrumptious cake to enj...
oy, those were his top requirements for the reception). He went in to wedding cake tasting like it was the olympics....but there wasn’t much competition. The Flour Child was the hands down winner, and they left all the other competition in the dust. All three components of their cake were perfect, the cake, filling, and frosting. The perfect trifecta we were looking for. For our wedding cake we chose a marble cake, with real raspberry filling, and vanilla buttercream frosting. They took my drawings and created the edible version of them, exactly as I envisioned it. Taking all of our suggestions, but also using their expertise to guide us in the right direction we knew we were in good hands. The cake was scrumptious, looked gorgeous, and had all our guests wanting seconds. Working with the girls at The Flour Child to make our dream wedding cake design a reality, was effortless, fun, and enjoyable. Our cake expectations were exceeded and we can’t wait to try more of what The Flour Child has to offer.
The ladies at Flour Child were so amazing to work with, our wedding cake was absolutely beautiful, and to top it all off…it was one of the MOST delicious cakes that we have ever had (many of our wedding guests agreed)!!!!!!
The Flour Child was so friendly in communication!! The cake and cupcakes we ordered were amazing!!!
TFC was amazing, and their desserts were a hit at our wedding! They brought my vision of a glitter wedding cake to life, and it was perfect. The chocolate cupcakes with chocolate icing were such a guest favorite- many took them home. We opted f...

The cupcakes and wedding cake we ordered for our day were so yummy and beautiful! Alixe and her team are true artists.
I totally recommend The Flour Child to do your wedding cake, or cupcakes! The tasting went very well and the lady who helped us design the cake was super helpful and patient because we were not 100% sure what we actually wanted. The cost was ve...

As soon as we did our first tasting with Flour Child, we knew they were the bakery for us. Not only was the cake delicious but the staff was extremely competent and attentive to detail. We didn't feel pressured at all during the tasting which I...
really appreciated. They were super on top of things throughout the planning process and were very responsive to my many emails. They set everything up perfectly for the wedding - it looked amazing and my cake was exactly how I wanted it. Also, the pricing is totally reasonable. Definitely recommend!
Amazing! Everything was delicious and seamless. We wanted a small cutting cake and then Flour Child created a beautiful spread of a dessert table. Highly recommend!
They made figuring out what we wanted for our wedding so easy!! We ended up getting cake, cookies, bars, and they even made vegan cupcakes for some of our vegan friends(which they said were delicious!) I had them make a grooms cake I told them...

Thank you to the team at The Flour Child for being part of our wedding day. I've ordered many items from the bakery in the past, so they were my obvious first choice. They ensured that we had plenty of the dessert to try during the tasting, n...
ot just a bite or two. I selected a dessert buffet, instead of the traditional wedding cake. We opted for Tandy Cake, Butter Cake, Cookies, and a couple types of cupcakes. We received so many compliments on how everything tasted. The butter cake was the star of the evening. Thank you for everything!
My wife and I chose The Flour Child to prepare the cake for our October wedding. We had tasted MANY MANY cakes, but were blown away by the flavors offered by The Flour Child! Alixe was an absolute delight to work with, and we loved the flavor ...
that she packed into our cake. Upon seeing our decorated cake on the day of the wedding, we were even more stunned! IT WAS GORGEOUS! We even froze some of the leftover cake, and 3 months later, it was still delicious. Thank you Alixe!
Phenomenal cake design from scratch...we told her our theme song ("Diamonds or Twine") and she designed a perfect cake to fit! Delicious too and very affordable! If you don't use Flour Child for your wedding cake, you are missing out!
We did mini pies instead of a cake and they were a huge hit. Everything looked great and tasted amazing. They even added a heart embellishment on the pumpkin pie that my husband and I cut. They were great to work with and I can't wait to use...
them again. Since we are local we will definitely be going back.
Everything was delicious! The cake we ordered looked beautiful and everyone talked about how amazing the cupcakes looked and tasted! So delicious, will definitely be returning for other events!
I used the Flour Child for my wedding. Our tasting experience was fantastic, with plenty of options to try from. We decided on cupcakes and each one had icing with a topping on it. We went with chocolate peanut butter (Reeses on top), vanilla a...
nd strawberry (strawberry on top), and pumpkin cream cheese (sprinkles on top). Each cupcake was to die for! I got so many compliments on how delicious they were. We ended up having only 7 left from the whole night! The planning process was made easy as well. They explain how the payment process works and what will work best for you. Super helpful. I highly recommend them for any event, or even just for a special treat!
I had the greatest experience with The Flour Child! Our day was amazingly tasty because of you!! Thank you!
I had a fantastic experience with The Flour Child! Thank you for making my wedding day so special, and SO tasty!!
I cannot say enough great things about Alixe! Our wedding cake turned out PERFECT! My husband is a police officer and she made him a grooms cake that looked like his badge. The detail on it was unimaginable. Far exceeded my expectations!
The cupcakes we ordered for our wedding were AMAZING! So good, and they had gluten free and vegan options for our guests with food restrictions. So glad I found this place.
I first tried The Flour Child for my sister’s baby shower cake. I was shocked by the reasonable price and how easy Alixe was to work with. The guests at the shower raved about the cake and so we decided to use them again for our wedding. Alixe ...
was amazing to work with from the start and was able to make the wedding cake and dessert buffet we were dreaming about a reality. We had nothing to worry about, she took care of every last detail. Again, the guests were coming up to us the whole night asking about where our desserts were from. Even my father who is self-described as “not a dessert guy” has completed all the errands at their store for me just so he can pick up more treats that he loves. Prices are extremely reasonable for the amazing quality and deliciousness of the products, as well as the pleasant service and interactions with the staff. We can’t wait to continue using The Flour Child for all of our bakery needs in the future!
The Flour Child made our wedding cake and it was beautiful, delicious, and reasonably priced!
We loved working with Alixe from The Flour Child for our wedding! She was extremely helpful & creative. Our cake not only looked gorgeous but tasted incredible. We highly recommend The Flour Child!
My husband and I ordered a cake buffet (three types of cakes and cupcakes too!) for our wedding. Alixe was so supportive and full of wonderful ideas... it turned out BEAUTIFUL and delicious! Our guests loved the nontraditional buffet idea and t...
here was a flavor of cake for everyone's preference. The cakes were delivered promptly and set up beautifully, and all for a VERY reasonable price. Our guests raved about how good everything was and the carrot cake in particular was demolished – we will definitely be asking for the carrot cake when our one-year anniversary rolls around. Thank you to The Flour Child! What a wonderful bakery.
The Flour Child is so amazing!!! Alixe is an artist! We had a very simple cake topper but she made our cake look elegant and fit perfectly into our wedding decor.
I love cake, that is my favorite part of each wedding, so I wanted to make sure ...
that our cake was delicious. I was not disappointed! I knew from the moment I met Alixe that she was the perfect!
Alixe was absolutely amazing! She went out of her way to make sure our day and cake were perfect. A cake topper we ordered never arrived and the week of our wedding I let her know that we were onto Plan B for toppers. She immediately responded ...
saying she had it under control and the type of topper we wanted was delivered to her the next day. It was amazing, so appreciated, and totally above and beyond her call of duty! That says a lot about her passion and service to her bakery and her customers! The cake was beautiful and delicious and I LOVE that we can go again for our anniversary and get another topper (no year old freezer burn cake for us)!
We absolutely loved out desserts. We had a whole dessert bar and every person at the wedding got something they loved! The whole process was super easy, from tasting to booking to wedding day. Alixe was friendly and accommodating, she really m...
ade the whole process that much better. To top it off, everything was delicious! There was not one thing I didn't like, and even my non-cake loving husband was in love. Everything was perfect, I would absolutely recommend this awesome little bakery. Affordable, delicious, easy to work with...win!
The Flour Child was the absolute best to work with! My husband and I were planning our wedding from OK. Alixe and her team were able to whip up a box of goodies to try on short notice during a quick visit to PA. The cake was amazing, the desser...
t bar was amazing, and did I mention the cake?!? The leftovers lasted the 2 day drive from PA back to OK and still tasted amazing. She was also able to do a surprise groom's cake that was a last minute addition. TFC is just wonderful to work with and so accommodating. And not to mention their pricing is hard to beat!
I highly recommend the flour child! Super easy to work with, great price, and beyond amazing cakes/cupcakes. The cupcakes were such a hit, people are still talking about them!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! BEST WEDDING CAKE WE HAVE EVER HAD! OUR GUESTS WERE RAVING ABOUT HOW DELICIOUS THE CAKE WAS! AWESOME PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATION!
My husband and I had a great time working with the Flour Child team for our wedding! When we had our consultation, Alixe took the time to get to know my husband and I, two of my bridesmaids and our vision for the wedding. She also was prepared ...
with photos of cakes from previous weddings that helped us to express our creative ideas and provide her with examples of what we liked. The cakes we sampled were delicious and she gave us the time to enjoy and discuss each of them before helping us decide which would be best for our cupcake choices. We selected four different flavors for cupcakes (chocolate with cream cheese buttercream, vanilla with strawberry, chocolate with mocha buttercream and vanilla with bailey’s buttercream) and a chocolate with peanut butter for our topper cake. We left the consultation raving about our experience and how friendly and personable Alixe and her staff were.
On our wedding day, the cake tower looked amazing and the flavor in the cupcakes was even better! The celtic knot and Law enforcement plaid were a beautiful nod to our celtic heritage and all of our guests loved the different flavors Alixe and her team had created! I cannot rave enough about Alixe and The Flour Child, from the initial consultation to the wedding day, the team worked hard to personalize every aspect of our experience and we were so pleased to work with them!
If you are looking for a local baker for your wedding day, Alixe and her team are the way to go!!
I can't even begin to express how awesome of an experience it was to work with Alixe from The Flour Child! She was recommended to us by our venue (The Cameron Estate Inn) and I'm so glad she was! Her cake is delicious (moist, just the right amo...
unt of sweetness, mouth-watering) and she is SUCH a sweetheart. Our cake tasting with her was so much fun. I brought my mom and we literally couldn't stop eating haha! She was very easy to communicate with and answered all of my questions promptly. She has a great working relationship with the Cameron Estate Inn which meant I really didn't have to get involved much as she knew exactly what she needed to do! I was literally blown away with how beautiful my cake looked the day of the wedding, what a wonderful surprise! I think her cost is extremely reasonable (we honestly thought the cost would be a lot more!). I would definitely recommend her to others. Thank you again Alixe from the bottom of my heart!!!
Our dessert spread from The Flour Child was simply immaculate. Alixe was ridiculously incredible and FUN to work with. From our first meeting, it felt like we had been long-time friends. She is so personable, and understood so clearly ever...
ything we wanted for our wedding. Her and her team at The Flour Child were so talented, fun, welcoming, and accommodating. Thank you, TFC <3
Alixe, owner of The Flour Child, is so bubbly and creative. She was recommended by our florist so we decided to just go for a trial. Oh my goodness, the cakes and frosting are amazing! It was really hard to narrow them down. Alixe allowed u...
s to select 2 cakes, 2 frosting, and 2 fillings. We went with chocolate cake and cream cheese filling/frosting and vanilla cake with lemon merengue filling with vanilla frosting. They were both out of this world! Our guests really loved the cakes! Because of the hot weather, Alixe did a faux cake which worked perfectly. The rest of the cake was scored and ready to be served which made it easy for our food handlers. I highly recommend Alixe as she's truly talented at what she does. She arrived and set up promptly. You will not regret booking The Flour Child!
Not only is Alixe a talented baker, she is also a lot of fun and a pleasure to work with. We loved the planning and tasting session, and the cake & cupcakes looked even better than we were hoping. Our guests raved that everything was delicious ...
and we 100% agree!
Alixe was incredible to work with! The Flour Child was the only bakery that I made an appointment with for a taste testing and I was immediately sold on using them. Alixe worked with me to create my vision of a dessert buffet and executed it pe...
rfectly. Everyone loved the desserts, especially the coffeehouse cookies. I highly recommend The Flour Child for your bakery needs. They were affordable, accommodating and a pleasure to work with!
She was great. The cake looked amazing. It tasted great too. We had three different cupcakes. Everyone loved them. The design was exactly what we wanted. Everything was edible so nothing went to waste. It was very affordable.
I would recommend The Flour Child to anyone for their wedding cake (or any occasion for that matter). Sugar, spice, professionalism, and perfection! Working with the owner, Alixe was extremely easy and fun from the beginning. My wife and I sta...
rted on the user friendly website to schedule our consultation/tasting. I couldn’t help but smile the day I walked in to the bakery because the atmosphere inspires warmth and cheer. With no vision of design or flavor I quickly apologized for my lack of bridal skills. Alixe laughed unfazed, assured me that I was in great hands, and jumped right in prepared with photos and sketches of cake options. In 10 quick minutes she has walked us through designing the perfect cake for our special day. The hardest part was choosing flavors because everything that we tried was incredible! She said that she would create an invoice and it was emailed quickly. Closer to the wedding I called the shop to let her know that I had found a cake topper. She greeted me with genuine elation about our wedding plans and again put a smile on my face with her warm demeanor. She coordinated with our reception hall to place the cake and everything looked lovely on my wedding day. Often something is lost with vendors and they seem to forget that you’re celebrating something special. The Flour Child made my wife and I feel like our day mattered and they would make sure that everything went smoothly. I hope this helps when you are choosing your bakery! Happy planning and congratulations!
Alixe was fantastic to work with! She is so fun and friendly and clearly adores her job. The tasting was a blast....and EVERY cake, frosting, and filling we tried was to die for. We finally chose a white cake with fresh raspberries baked throug...
hout, lemon curd filling, and cream cheese buttercream icing....HELLO!!! Our guests loooooooved it and my co workers are stilling talking about it almost 5 months later!
The price was incredible and her design skills are seriously perfection.
CANNOT wait for our 1 year anniversary cake that she bakes fresh!!
Alixe has been making my family's cakes and cupcakes for every occasion that has come up since she opened her bakery.. and never ONCE have we had anything less than amazing from her. Naturally, my husband and I knew she would be our go-to for o...
ur wedding and let me just say I've never seen a more beautiful cupcake tower (5 different flavor combos) with our personal carrot cake top with fresh flower decoration. Straight out of a magazine! The Flour Child bakery goes above and beyond for every customer and delivers the most delicious, beautiful, freshly baked goods anyone could ask for. I'm a lifetime customer! <3

Everyone at our wedding was raving about the cake and asking me where we got it!
The Flour Child is the place to get your wedding cake!!
I ordered wedding cupcakes with a cake topper! Looked great and everyone was thrilled with the taste. Amazing prices!
Delicious cake, alixe is so easy to work with, and the final product was perfect! We also did a dessert bar.... Really great baked goods
The best wedding cake we ever had. If you are getting married in Central Pennsylvania, you should go to the Flour Child, speak with Alixe, and then order your cake.
We had some unorthodox ideas about our wedding cake. We wanted multiple flav...
ors and we wanted cakes on every table. We were up for doing something different. After meeting with three separate bakers, all we were told was, "You shouldn't do that, just have one cake, maybe two flavors." No one wanted to think outside of their overpriced box. Once we met with the Flour Child, our ideas were met with enthusiasm and encouragement. Alixe provided more ideas and together we were able to come up with the idea of having a cake flight, three separate slices of cake on the same plate. It was a great solution for us. Then Alixe told us that there would be no additional charge for the cake flight.
There are value buys and then there are deals that enhance your wedding and make memories for a lifetime. We strongly recommend the Flour Child in Columbia, PA.
Alixe is a fantastic baker and designer. We went for a tasting after a few friends had mentioned her name and it was well worth it. She was the only baker we did a tasting with! Her choices of cakes, fillings, and frostings make for endless ...
possibilities. We actually had a "fake cake" which was designed using foam cake forms and decorating them. The top layer was the only real part. It saved on the cost big time, because then she made sheet cakes for our guests. No one even knew the cake was fake. She took the few pictures I showed her and got a sense of my idea and transformed it into exactly what I wanted. I was even more surprised when I saw the cake was decorated with the trailing flowers that I originally wanted, but didn't think I would have enough flowers for that. Amazing job! We can't wait to get our anniversary cake from her that she will bake fresh for your one year celebration to mimic your original wedding cake!!
The Flour Child did a cake and dessert table for our wedding. We had a small cake for us and cookies and cupcakes for guests. Everything looked and tasted amazing! Alixe was great to work with. I can't wait to use her for future events!
We worked with The Flour Child bakery through our reception venue. When we went in for our tasting, I had the print out of what came with our package. Mostly a pretty basic three-tier cake. I was so surprised when Alixe told me not to worry abo...
ut it! We ended up with a different flavor on every tier with a wonderful design that we worked through together. I really had no idea what a cake should look like, but Alixe and I talked it over and it looked wonderful! We got so many compliments on how delicious the cake was. The filling flavors obviously had real flavoring in them and the cake was wonderful. I would highly recommend this bakery.
Alixe and the staff at The Flour Child are awesome! From our cake tasting through the final day, Alixe was friendly, cheery, and helpful. We had several guests tell us how delicious the cake was and I agree. Alixe worked with our budget and ...
our ideas to make the perfect cake. We had several tastings, and not only was The Flour Child our most affordable option, but it truly was the most delicious too! We'll be using this bakery again!
Alixe (owner) was a gem. We were so happy that she could help us making our cupcake dreams come true. She was able to offer a variety of cupcake (and icing) flavors to our guests (we had so much fun taste testing the different flavor pairings) ...
and what positive feedback we got from our 200 guests - not a single cupcake was left! She was even able to accommodate for our guests with nut and gluten allergies. And I can't wait to return in a year to enjoy a FRESH first year anniversary cake!
Alixe at the Flour Child was a pleasure to work with. We loved the cakes and are looking forward to going to her bakery for other baked goods.
I was THRILLED with the service I received from The Flour Child and could not have dreamed of a better final product! Almost all of our mini cupcakes were gone by the end of the wedding. I also really appreciated Alixe delivering my cake two ho...

Alixe at The Flour Child catered to my husband and I completely. We were not able to get over for a tasting so she made us a sample box to take and try on our own. From there she provided me with a whole website of photos to choose from and she...

Our cake was absolutely delicious! We did two different flavors (vanilla and chocolate) with a raspberry buttercream filling and our guests just raved about how delicious it was. Not only did it taste great, it looked beautiful! In addition, we...
wanted to have pie at our wedding, so we also purchased Pecan and Apple pies for a dessert table! Everything was wonderful. Although our wedding was in Lancaster, we were planning most of it from Montana. Alixe was great to work with, allowing my parents and some friends to sample pies and cake options for me, since I wasn't able to be there. I would definitely recommend the Flour Child!
Alixe at the Flour Child was a pleasure to work with. Very nice and accommodating anytime I made changes. She communicated very quickly with me through email and had new quotes to me very quickly as well. The cake tasting was such a nice exp...
erience and we booked the Flour Child almost immediately after meeting with them. Our cake was beautiful and exactly what I wanted from the pictures I showed Alixe. The cake tasted great as well - there was barely any left!! I highly recommend the Flour Child to anybody that wants a cake or any other sweets at their wedding or event!
Alixe did a great job with our wedding cupcakes. She displayed them fabulously at our venue. Everyone raved at how yummy they were. We decided to cut a giant cupcake that was stationed on the top tier. It was actually surrounded by a bunch a...
little ones which made it look so cute, but we couldn't get to the giant one in order to cut it, so we cut a reg sized one. She still did an awesome job!
Alixe is wonderful to work with. The cake turned out to be as gorgeous as I had hoped. Alixe is both fun and professional. I highly recommend her!
Because I was such a busy bride to be, we did most of our communication via email which was convenient for me. Obviously we met in person for the cake tasting and to discuss some ideas. My ideas for my cake changed alot up until the last month ...
and every time i had a new idea Alixe was more than willing to write me up a new quote. The cake was perfect and very pretty--Price was even better!
We met with Alixe, the bakery's owner, for our cake tasting and knew we had to book with her! The cakes were SO delicious and we really enjoyed working with her. She was very accommodating with our budget. The cakes (we served 3 different fl...
avors at our reception) got rave reviews from our guests. The Flour Child also provided cookies and sandwich trays for our hotel guests for lunch on the day of the wedding. Those were also delicious and cost-effective. She also offers a free 1 year anniversary cake so that you don't have to eat the freezer-burnt one from your actual wedding. We can't wait to have another occasion to order from this bakery!
The flour child is highly recommended by me. Alixe did a stellar job. Guests raved about how good the cake was, some stated it was the best wedding cake they ever tasted!
The Flour Child did our wedding cake and our rehearsal dinner cake. The rehearsal cake looked great but tasted awful. The wedding cake looked bad and only tasted mediocre. The wedding cake was lumpy and uneven. The decoration looked half-as...
sed (like it was done at the last minute). I was seriously unhappy with the results. Want proof that it wasn't good? Both cakes were barely touched.
I can not say enough great things about Alixe and her staff. From the beginning stages to the planning process to the finish product everything was amazing. Alixe takes her time and meets with you allowing you to taste and design your own cake,...
free of charge. Plus her prices are unbeatable and her cake is delicious! We had cake for 110+ people with 3 tiers, each having a different flavor cake and filling and it came in under $350! I recommend you give them a call and sit down and taste some of her cakes and see her products. you'll be amazed and won't need to go anywhere else! Our guests are still talking about how amazing the cake was and tasted.
Alixe Ingoglia of The Flour Child delivered the sweetest part of our wedding - 225 beautifully ornate and dramatically presented cupcakes that knocked my socks off! I knew Alixe and I were a good match when we went for the tasting, where she pr...
epared about ten flavor combinations and talked us through the options, and even was humble enough to ask "is it too sweet? can i tweak this flavor at all for you?" She was a remarkable communicator through three flavor changes and deciding on fancy cupcake toppers, from candied carrot curls and lemon slices, to mini peanut-butter cups. These cupcakes were decadent, stunning, and everyone was smitten with the idea. Brides, you cannot go wrong with cupcakes - everyone gets their own little serving, which they pick out (two or three if they like!) and you will spend WAYYY more money on sheet cake that your guests will hardly remember. Alixe's cupcakes are truly something to write home about - thank you to The Flour Child!
Alixe was amazing to work with! Her cakes were delicious. She uses fresh fruit instead of the jelly. There were so many flavors to choose from. We also did our favors through her. Our wedding was Penn State themed. She created Nittany Lion cak...
e toppers that looked awesome and she made us monogram paw print cookies for our favors. The cookies were delicious. The cake was gorgeous as well! I highly recommend her!
We used the flour child for our wedding cake as well as our favors and couldn't have been happier. The cake was moist and the raspberry filling we chose was all natural-no preservatives. The guests raved about it. Our favors were cookies and ag...
ain the guests loved them. Alixe will work with your budget and give you different options.
Alixe is an amazing baker and so personable that you just want to hug her! She captured our vision and delivered 100%! I have never tasted such a flavorful, moist and decadent wedding cake! She is professional and gave us exactly what we ask...
ed for. Delivery and set-up were flawless. Responded to questions in a timely manner and really worked with us to make this the perfect finale to our meal.
Alixe was so great to work with. We just wanted a variety of desserts, and not your standard cake. We had a fun tasting, and chose 5 or 6 seasonal and delicious desserts. She also did a small luncheon for our rehearsal, and then she put togethe...
r (and delivered for free!) lunch for the guys and girls to have while getting ready! She's a sweet heart and a real pleasure to work with. And she is insanely affordable!
Alixe was so much fun! I went into her bakery for a consult with my husband, mom, a bridesmaid and junior bridesmaid. We had so much fun talking with Alixe and tasting her delicious cakes and icings. My husband didn't think he liked cake unt...
il that day!
We chose a carrot cake with spice butter cream icing on the outside and cream cheese filling. The icing was a little too sweet for my taste (everyone else liked it, I'm just not big on sweets), so Alixe toned down the sweetness for our wedding cake.
The cake was beautiful and delicious!
Our cake was just as we expected, beautiful and yummy!!!! Alixe was AWESOME! Free anniversary cake for our first year will be great! We didn't have to save our top layer.
We got a small tier cake, and sheet cakes for the guests. Alixe did an awesome job, and was a joy to work with. All of them looked amazing and tasted delicious. I would definitely recommend her for a wedding, or any other occassion.
