Our desserts were amazing! Gingersnap had so many pastry options. Our wedding cake was gorgeous and SO GOOS.
Wedding cake was absolutely delicious, and the design was beautiful. Could not have gotten any better
Kelsie and the rest of Gingersnap were incredible for our wedding cake and dessert table. Their tasting box was different but nice and private as you take it home and can review each item on your own time with your partner and without pressure. She designs your cake exactly how you want with any adjustments close to the day. Everything tasted incredible - it felt like a luxury to eat such mouth-watering desserts. Any extras we took home and delighted in over the following 48 hours. It was all crazy delicious. Kelsie also has reasonable pricing and great communication even during busy wedding season.
The cake tasting process is a little different then you might expect. You are sent home with a few different cake flavors and filling options that you pick out to try, in addition to the typical 3 frosting options. But don’t let that overwhelm you. We picked flavors that we thought would pair well together to try and turned it into a date night.
After, we did a zoom consultation to discuss our flavor choices, designs ideas, and they made suggestions of would work or might not work. Overall it was a very smooth and easy process. They were great to work with.
And let me tell you that cake was amazing! We ordered a small cake to cut and cupcakes (some were gluten free) and they were delicious! All of our guest were raving about it! My family even said it was the best gluten free cupcake that they had. The only thing is, it was not quite the color I was envisioning but it still matched our color scheme and looked beautiful.
We are definitely getting a cake/cupcakes from here again!
We used Gingersnap for our Wedding cake (tasting cake and cupcake tower). Their tasting process was interesting. At first I thought a take home tasting box with individual cake, filling and frosting elements was a great idea, but it made it difficult know how different combinations would work together (would they be too rich, etc.). Flavor wise, the cupcakes were delicious and primarily worked out OK, just know there is LOTS of frosting which does mask the cake flavors. The tasting cake wasn't nearly as good (even though it was the same flavor as one of the cupcakes), it was dry and didn't taste as fresh.
We were disappointed with the look/design, especially of the tasting cake, as it was quite simple and came off as an afterthought. We had multiple conversations with the bakery and shared some ideas/photos/examples for what we thought would look nice, but on the whole deferred to their experience (as I did with most of my vendors). This was the only case where it didn't really work out in our favor. Our tasting cake was very plain, flat white icing with just a ribbon in our color around the base, and none of the other design elements we discussed.
Overall, I wouldn't not recommend them, but I would tell couples to be very specific on what they want their cake to look like, as leaving it up to the bakery just didn't work for us. We were very underwhelmed and disappointed by our wedding cake.
My wedding cake and other pastries were amazing!!
Kelsie and her team did a wonderful job with our cake and mini desserts! Our guests loved everything from the sugar cookies and cannolis to the cake. There were barely any leftovers! The staff was flexible with any adjustments along the way. Overall, would highly recommend!
We used Gingersnap Bakery for our wedding at Hotel Syracuse. Kelsie was great to work with and helped us to customize our wedding day desserts and make them exactly what we wanted them to be. We also sent her a picture of a cake that was everything that we wanted, and she replicated it beautifully, even better than the original! Our dessert bar was fun and unique, and we got to choose the details which made everything feel more personal. Kelsie delivered everything to the hotel and arranged them beautifully on the stands that we provided. We hardly had any leftovers because our guests loved everything so much! I highly recommend working with Kelsie and her team for any of your dessert needs!
Thank you to Kelsie and her team at Gingersnap Bakery for making our wedding cake dreams come true! It was not only gorgeous, but the lemon raspberry cake was delicious! Kelsie was incredible as sketching exactly what we wanted and made it come to life for our wedding day!
They are truly a talented and professional team! Thank you so much!
I will share the professional photos when we receive them back!
The Gingersnap Bakery is incredible! My husband and I hired Kelsie and her team to build us an upside down wedding cake. I was incredibly nervous about the overall structure of our cake because it was literally upside down with a large piece at the top and small piece at the bottom, but it stayed together and looked absolutely perfect!! They blew it out of the water and the taste was amazing! A lot of our guests told us how good it was after our wedding. If you can dream it, Kelsie and her team can make it a reality. I am so impressed with their ability to make our crazy idea come true! If you want the best looking wedding cake with the best taste, HIRE GINGERSNAP BAKERY! You will not be disappointed.
Words cannot describe how delicious and beautifully designed our cake and cupcakes were! Kelsie was amazing from the start! From our initial tasting until our wedding day the communication, thoughts and support was amazing! amazing! Also we had all gluten and dairy free cupcakes and our guests couldn’t even tell! When I told them all the next day they were blown away! Thank you Kelsie and team for offering the most Seleucid’s gluten and dairy cupcakes ever!!
All I can say is WOW!!! coustmer service was awesome and the cake tasted AMAZING! I received so many compliments on the variety of flavors and how good it tasted. The prices were also reasonable. We did some sheet cakes and the guest could not even tell the difference! Must check this Bakery out!
Kelsie is so unbelievably talented. Due to covid, my wedding had been rescheduled 3 times and she could not have been more accommodating and easy to work with. She was spot on with my vision for our wedding cake and treats, and our guests could not stop raving about how delicious all of them were. We ordered a 4-tier cake, cookie cake and half-moon cookies. Book Gingersnap, you will not be disappointed!!!
Gingersnap Bakery was an incredible addition to our wedding day! They helped to create our dream wedding cake and supply tables full of gorgeous and delicious mini desserts for our dessert bar. The moment my husband and I fed each other a piece of cake during cake cutting I remember we both looked at each other with wide eyes and said “this is SO GOOD!!!”. Gingersnap was responsive to emails and always kind when answering a phone call or during a meeting. Wedding planning is stressful, but they made it easy for us. We appreciate Gingersnap and all of the deliciousness they brought to our special day!!
The cupcakes and the small cake for our wedding turned out perfect and tasted even better. The Gingersnap Bakery was very accommodating to any changes we wanted to make for our reception, and they were easy to communicate with for any questions we had during planning. They have very reasonable pricing, and are very helpful with tastings to make sure you pick out any and all flavors you would want. We would definitely recommend The Gingersnap Bakery to any couple planning a wedding.
My Cake and desserts from the Gingersnap Bakery were so amazing! They turned out exactly how I dreamed they would be! My Cake(s) [we had 3 different cakesđź¤] were perfectly decorated and tasted delicious! We had the most delicious chocolate buttermilk cake with chocolate fudge filling, and a pumpkin spice cake with vanilla Pastry Cream filling! Iced with Italian Buttercream frosting how could you go wrong.
At our tasting we were able to mix and match a bunch of different cake, filling, and frosting combinations to find the perfect one. There's so many cake flavors to choose from!
We also had a mini dessert display! OH MY GOSH, our guests were raving (for weeks after!) We ordered s'mores brownies, cream puffs, and French macarons! We were able to rent the most gorgeous ivory and gold stands too.
The staff were all so kind and set everything up so beautifully at our venue Wolf Oak Acres. Thank you Kelsie, Ally, Leah, and Bailey for helping me have the most lovely wedding day!
The Gingersnap Bakery did such a wonderful job on our wedding cake! They were so flexible and accommodating with us as our plans changed due to Covid. The details on our cake were stunning; down to the ripples in frosting, to the gold leaf foiling, to the small beaded sprinkles, and arrangement of flowers on each layer. Not only did it look beautiful, but the flavors were DELICIOUS! Everyone couldn’t stop talking about it. Thank you, Gingersnap Bakery!
The Gingersnap Bakery did an AMAZING job with our wedding desserts. We originally had a guest list of 350+ people, and they helped us decide how many desserts we should order (they said typically 3 per person), for way less than I anticipated. We went with miniature versions of the traditional desserts including stuffed cupcakes in 4 flavors, cheese cake bites in 3 flavors, cannolis and half moon cookies with just a cutting cake. By the time the final count came in 1 week before the wedding we were down to only 245 guests, but decided not to alter the dessert amount. It ended up working out perfectly and everyone loved them so much we didn't have ANY dessert left over! Their carrot cake flavor and hummingbird flavor were by far the favorites among our crowd. I would highly recommend them for their services on your day of, and we will definitely be using them in the future for any upcoming family events!
We loved the process with Kelsie and her team at Gingersnap right from the tasting. They were so accommodating and easy to work with, especially when I changed my cake order a few months before the wedding. The detail in their work is beautiful! I wanted to surprise my husband with a groomscake and they took my idea and made it in to something better than I expected. They are hands down the best in the area!
We loved working Kelsie! We knew in our first meeting with Kelsie how passionate and excited she was about her work. She was extremely accommodating and allowed us to have two tastings when we couldn't decide on exactly what we wanted. On our wedding day everything was set up beautifully and tasted delicious. We would recommend Gingersnap to everyone.
My husband and I worked with Gingersnap Bakery for our wedding. Of all the vendors we contracted with for our wedding, Gingersnap was by far the easiest to work with.
We ended up contacting Chef Kelsie Mack less than 2 months before our wedding, which was fairly short notice given our schedule. From the very beginning, Kelsie’s responses were timely and thorough. With just a few email exchanges and a single phone call, we had our wedding order completely sorted. This was really helpful for us as we were planning the wedding remotely and weren’t able to meet with Kelsie in person.
When it came to the day of the wedding, Kelsie had set up all of our desserts in our reception venue perfectly. No one from the wedding party was on site to help direct set up, but everything looked exactly as we had hoped. Kelsie worked with display stands as well as a few small decor items we provided. It was such a lovely surprise to enter the reception venue for the first time and see such a beautiful dessert display!
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, everything was delicious! My husband and I are both lactose intolerant so Kelsie made an almond cake with raspberry jam and vanilla buttercream frosting completely dairy free. We also had non-dairy free cupcakes in vanilla, chocolate peanut butter, and pumpkin spice. All of our guests loved them!
Looking back on our wedding and the whole wedding planning process, working with Gingersnap Bakery was one of the best decisions we made.
Gingersnap Bakery was very responsive and accommodating of our needs. They were able to make a gorgeous 3 tier cake which looked shockingly like Birch wood slabs with sunflowers. All of our guests couldn't believe the cake wasn't Birch slabs until we cut into it. Oh, and the impromptu flavor, chocolate cherry, was a big hit! I will be going back for cakes in the future.
Did I forget to mention that they were half the price of the competition for the same design and seemed extremely confident that they could deliver the end-product?
Chef Kelsie and the staff of Gingersnap Bakery were a great help to my husband and me! We booked in for a cake tasting, which was a lot of fun. When the wedding day came, there was a beautiful tiered stack of cupcakes in all the flavors we requested set up and ready to go for our reception. They were all delicious! Italian Ribbon in particular was a big hit (and my personal favorite as well).
Chef Kelsie was truly a pleasure to work with! Planning a wedding in New York from Texas was no easy task! She was so helpful & quick to respond to questions and messages. Not to mention, sending samples all the way here to ensure we got what we wanted! The cupcakes looked phenomenal and tasted even better! I highly recommend
Kelsey did an OUTSTANDING job on our cake. The tasting was thorough to ensure we received the kind of cake we wanted. She was accommodating with changing the size at the last minute. Most importantly the cake itself was DELICIOUS. Light buttercream frosting and a different flavor in every layer, we couldn't have asked for a more delicious cake!
Kelsie and the gingersnap bakery did an outstanding job creating a variety of wedding cupcakes for us. They looked beautiful and more importantly tasted amazing. The bakery staff was professional and very flexible with changes made to the order to meet our needs.
Kelsie did an AMAZING job bringing our unconventional cake vision to life. Our layered chocolate chip cookie cake was everything I could hope for and the assorted cookies to go along with the cake were delicious. Kelsie was so easy to work with and made the process so easy. We highly recommend Gingersnap Bakery and can't wait to use them again!
They were terrific! I stopped one day unannounced and they sent me home with a to go box of samplings! It was soo good but toom us three days to eat it! Cake was still fresh even on third day! When we went for our taste test we already knew we were picking them. But still the samples were yummy and woeking on ideas for main cake and what to choose for cupcakes was pretty painless. Any choice we made was going to be delicious. They day of our wedding we could not be happier! Our wedding cake wss 3 tiers with a celtic knot and a light green ribbon she matched with a swatch. It was beautiful! And everyone raved on the chocolate cake with rasberry mousse. But the cupcakes... omg... we ordered 5 dozen and not one was left by the end of the night! You should have seen the dessert line! We were so thrilled to have Gingersnap do our wedding! Highly recommend!
Kelsie at the Gingersnap did a phenomenal job! My cake was exactly as I pictured it to be, simple elegance & tasted as good as it looked, worth every penny!
Kelsie helped make our wedding day perfect with an amazing cake! she custom decorated it, exactly as we had discussed, and delivered it in a snow storm! Not only did it look beautiful, but it was amazing taste wise. Would definitely recommend her for any special occasion cakes and would use her in the future for sure !!
We absolutely loved the cakes done by Gingersnap! They were so beautiful and delicious. They have a wide variety of flavors and fillings. They also do an amazing gluten free cake as well, which was very much needed for our wedding. I would highly recommend Gingersnap to anyone.
They are amazing at what they do! Always have gone above and beyond my expectations!
Cake was delicious and they did great custom work on our cake and cake tooper!
I cannot say enough great things about The Gingersnap! A lot of my family has a gluten allergy and the Gingersnap not only made our cupcakes GF but also made our wedding cake and grooms cake GF! Everything was absolutely delicious and we couldn't have asked for anything better for our special day! Thank you!!!
Best wedding cake ever!! The Gingersnap Bakery did an amazing job on my wedding cake. Their cakes are always delicious and they really paid attention to detail. They decorated it exactly how I wanted and were so helpful with the process. Thanks, Gingersnap!!
The new owner, Kelsie is beyond amazing! My fiancé and I got engaged in November 2016 and were planning our wedding for March of 2017. This means we needed to find a bakery in four short months! Once we called Gingersnap, we knew we found the bakery for us! Kelsie did a phenomenal job. She had what seemed like an endless variety of cakes for us to taste. You could tell from our initial meeting that she had the skill and experience to make the wedding cake of our dreams. Not only did our cake look great, but it tasted like it just came out of the oven. We could not have been happier with The Gingersnap Bakery!
My wife and I had our wedding cake made by Ann at the Gingersnap Bakery and it was absolutely perfect. She gave us exactly what we asked for, helped us figure out what else we could do, and was 100% friendly and professional throughout it all. And on top of all that, the cake was delicious! We couldn't have asked for a better bakery experience for our special day - thank you so much Ann!
She made us a three tier apple spice cake with raspberry filling and a buttercream frosting. Since we were getting married at the Greystone Castle in Canastota, we had her design it like a castle with a stone wall texture (done in buttercream, not yucky fondant!) and hand-painted edible coat-of-arms style shields up along each tier. It was also batman themed to match the rest of our wedding.
No exaggeration, the cake came out perfectly!
Unfortunately my experience with this bakery was not a good one. We had given Anne our cake topper over a week ahead of time to avoid any issues with size. Two days before our wedding we received a phone call saying our cake topper did not fit and what were we going to do about it. We then asked her to just bake a larger cake and we would pay the difference but she promptly refused. From this point on we were treated very poorly. While the cake was decorated beautifully we had asked for fresh fruit and paid extra to have it and instead one layer was covered in globs of frozen or canned strawberries and the other was completely lacking. Some of the cupcakes were delicious while others were almost completely inedible due to the saturation of food coloring and extract used. When we attempted to return the cupcake tower the store was closed, since there was nothing in the contract that gave a window as to when exactly it had to be returned we decided we would return it after our honeymoon which would be 6 days later. Instead, we recieved very rude telephone calls because they had no back up cupcake tower, which we didn't know and also thought was strange since this ,according to the owner, was such a "popular" bakery. If you enjoy paying $500 for unnecessary stress and an ok final product then I would highly recommend this baker. If not then I would say it is wise to go somewhere else.
The cake came out even better than the picture and the flavor was out of this world! We are getting every cake from Gingersnap from now on! Great service, great people, lots of attention to detail! I Highly recommend them!
Meeting with Anne was one of the most fun meetings. She gave us samples of different cake combinations (cake, filling, frosting) to try. When we liked one thing from one cake and one thing from another, she quickly went in to the back to make a new combination, and it was perfect! We came up with an idea for the cake design together based on my theme and decided on a size based on my estimated number. Two weeks before the wedding, she met with us to finalize design and size. Of course, my ideas changed and she was ready and willing to make any and all changes in design. My wedding cake was not only absolutely beautiful, it was delicious! We also ordered other desserts from the bakery as well (cream puffs, fruit tarts, mini cheesecakes) and we also served cookies near the end of the night of the reception as well. Love this bakery!
Best. Cake. Ever. The taste was amazing and the design was out of this world. It was as if they were mind readers. One of the best decisions we made was to get The Gingersnap to bake our cake.
We used Gingersnap Bakery for our wedding on 6/1/13. The staff are so nice and helpful- it's the cutest little shop. We had 3 flavors that we highly recommend- pink champagne, tiramisu (AMAZING) and peanut butter chocolate. They also did cupcakes for my shower...So delicious! The cake looked so beautiful too. Thanks Gingersnap!
My wife gave her a picture and we got exactly what we wanted and the flavors of the cake were unique and amazing!!
We first met folks from the Gingersnap Bakery at a bridal show in Syracuse. After tasting their cake, every other bakery we tested out just could not even compare! This was THE best flavor and texture. I don't know about you, but I want to enjoy eating the cake- not just looking at it!
We met with the bakery shop at a later date to do an official tasting. We slected a french vanilla cake with raspberry filling and buttercream icing. We chose to have fresh flowers sent from our wedding florist. The bakery worked the flowers into a GORGEOUS arangement - it was flawless. It turned out exactly the way we imagined!
They delivered the cake in perfect time, had everything set up and prettily displayed. Every phone call we had prior to our event was professional, curteous and they happily accomodated our needs and requests.
They were a little pricey, but not more so than average. We chose this bakery dispite it being an Hour and a HAlF away from our venue! Yes, it was THAT good. We got a 4 tier cake, and overall I think it would have cost us around 500; but we chose to do the delivery and set up (we were afraid that we would ruin during the drive). That cost an addtional 150 since it was so far. Despite all that it was worth it. :)
Great, friendly service, beautiful cakes, and delicious!
I literally freaked out when I saw my cake at our reception! It was beautiful and matched what I wanted exactly. The colors matched perfectly and their attention to detail was impeccable! They also did my bridal shower cake! I wish I could give them more than 5 stars!
These are by far the best cupcakes I have ever eaten in my life. There are about 40 different flavors to choose from, all of which are delicious. The owner is very easy to work with and was willing to do whatever I wanted. I ended up having 7 different flavor cupcakes in different sizes and she was totally okay with it. I would definately recommend the Gingersnap Bakery to anyone.
I loved cake tasting. We picked three different flavors. They took the pictures of what I wanted and the cake looked exactly how I wanted it too. They delivered right to the reception for us. I was too busy at wedding and didn't get to have a piece :( only the bite from the cake cutting. Everyone else told me it was delicious though. I plan on getting birthday cakes from them for my husbands upcoming birthday.
We used cakes as centerpieces --- literally they were the best tasting, most beautiful cakes EVER! PICK THEM FOR YOUR CAKE!
Ann did an AWESOME job on the 2 cakes for our wedding. Our wedding cake was beautiful for sure, it's everything you would want a wedding cake to be. The cake was moist and tasty and it was beautiful! Where Ann really shined was when she created the groom's cake. I surprised my husband with a groom's cake shaped like a replica of his college. When I first had the idea I thought it would be an impossible dream. I contacted Gingersnap and Ann assured me she could do it. It was AWESOME!! My husband was so surprised and amazed that the cake really looked like his college. All of his family (many of whom went there) and all his college buddies were so excited about it! It was definitely the talk of the reception and I am so glad that I chose Gingersnap to make our cakes. We will definitely be ordering our special occasion cakes from Gingersnap in the future!
Our cake was everything I could have wanted and more. Ann and the ladies at the Gingersnap were a pleasure to work with and made sure that everything was just as we had asked. The pink champagne cake could not have been more delicious and the cake was so beautiful with the scroll work. We were thrilled and received so many compliments on the cake from our guests!
The cupcakes/cake were/was delicious and so affordable. Ann was a wonder to work with- so accommodating and personable.
There was not one cupcake left at the end of the reception!
My cake was beautiful, but it didn't taste as good as the sample piece I tried.
The cakes were important to me and came out better than expected. The wedding cake had peacocks painted on it and came out amazing. The groom's cake had an F16 flying through the side and out through the top, which contained clouds. It exceeded all my expectations. Not only did the cakes look amazing, they tasted as wonderful as they looked. The owner, Ann met with me as often as requested and took every call I made. She and her staff are true bakers and artists and recommend them to everyone looking for cakes. Total cost was for both cakes and worth every penny.
My mom wanted to make sure I had that georgous tiered cake for my prefect wedding. She heard they won awards and are amazing, so I decided to go to the gingersnap. They were very nice and helpful, but the cake the delivered was sloppy. You couldn't see the beautiful flowers they made because they put most of them in the back of the cake, really who takes pictures in panaroma or back views? $500 for a 3 teir cake I could have made myself. The most disappointing part is all the pictures to remind me and my amazing mom who worked so hard to gete the perfect cake and they couldn't even deliver. The only plus is their cakes tastes amazing, and the flowers were georgous. Good luck
I've seen some of their cakes and they are pretty, mine just wasn't one of them. I order from one person and someone else made it. So be precise and give pictures and I'm sure it'll be fine.
Anne at the Gingersnap bakery is a dream!! She makes the most beautiful cakes and the absolute best flavors and combinations. We had alternating layers of chocolate mint with raspberry mouse and pink champagne cake with strawberry filling. She helped me combine four designs into one beautiful cake. The cake was very high on the priority list for us (as I love cake) and she met every expectation I had and more. HIGHLY recommended!
Ann was incredible. I had my ideas, which she liked. But when I showed her a picture of my dress, she had her own ideas. After designing a cake that matched my dress, I was hooked. The cake came out beautifully and it tasted amazing too! Everyone raved about it.
The cake looked and tasted fantastic! One of the best things about the wedding.
