We got a 3-tier cake for our November 2024 and WOW - there were only 5 slices left by the end of the night (and we had 2 other dessert stations!) Paula was so great to work with. She is pleasant, creative, and the quality of the cake was phenomenal. There were a ton of design options to choose from, and you can really make it your own. We did 3 flavors and 2 different textures. And the flavor was 1000/10. I’m not even really a cake person but Paula and her team do incredible work! She was also able to add little figurines of our dogs into the cake and it was just the perfect touch. We’re freezing the top part of our cake to save for our first wedding anniversary and I can’t wait to have it!
We ordered a wedding cake, it was beautiful and tasted wonderful! We met Paula at our cake tasting and she was very helpful to make sure we got what we could afford and what we would truly love for our wedding. She communicated very well and made everything work smoothly for our day. The cake was delicious, we will definitely be back for more.
Icing on the Cake made delicious cupcakes and a beautiful wedding cake for us. We were able to fully customize our desserts, including frosting detailing on the cupcakes. We didn’t get to try any of the cupcakes at our wedding because everyone loved them so much they were gone in minutes; when we told Icing on the Cake, they recreated our wedding cupcakes with the exact same designs for free! We can’t wait to have our frozen cake on our anniversary and are excited to order desserts for future occasions
We loved our wedding cake. It was so incredibly delicious. Ever since the tasting we were dreaming about having more of this cake and the result was just what we hoped. Their flower work was beautiful and the cake was perfect.
Highly recommend this shop for all events! They did a fantastic job with our wedding cupcakes, golden with a raspberry filling and chocolate with a chocolate mousse filling. I'm so thankful for their customization options, an efficient and delicious cake tasting, and overall friendliness! I can't wait to order again just to have more cupcakes!
We've been long-time lovers of icing on the cake, so naturally, we knew they had to make our wedding cake. We were amazed by their final design, which perfectly matched our birch tree cake vision. Best cake we've ever had! Unfortunately, we only got a bite of our cake before the catering serving staff cleared it away and never wrapped it up. The serving staff also dropped and smashed our top tier that we were saving for our 1yr anniversary. Highly recommend icing on the cake amaretto and mocha chocolate with extra raspberry!
The cake was beyond beautiful. We did a small ceremony cake and then had more cake in the back to cut down on costs. But everyone commented on how beautiful our cake was. It was also very delicious (we did 2 different flavors) and there were almost no leftovers. We had to have our caterer set some aside for us to make sure we got to eat it.
I would highly recommend The Icing on The Cake for anyone looking for wedding cake! My only complaint is we had none left at the end of the night and wanted to enjoy some the next day! BUT that is a testament to how good this cake was!!! Paula got our vision immediately and the cake was phenomenal
I would highly recommend The Icing on the Cake to anyone looking for a wedding cake in the Boston area! First of all, cake tasting at the bakery in Newton with Paula was definitely one of the most fun moments of wedding planning. We felt like we were in good hands with Paula and she helped us come up with a design that was perfect for us (even included an outline of the Boston skyline on the top tier!) and matched the icing flowers on the cake to the colors of our florals. The cake was absolutely delicious and one of my favorite memories from the wedding reception. We found the bakery through our hotel and I'm so glad we did! I'd definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a gorgeous cake that also tastes amazing!
TIOTC was just exceptional. Not only was the cake gorgeous, it was delicious! There was not a slice left!
Our cake was delicious! Everyone at Icing on the Cake was professional, responsive, and friendly. Highly recommend.
This company was great at communicating. Loved all the cake flavors we were able to taste, there really is no bad cake flavor! They were able design a cake that was perfect for us. We loved working with this vendor.
THERE WAS NO CAKE LEFT! That's how you know everyone loved it. People were absolutely raving about the cake during the wedding. Working with Patti at the bakery was wonderful, she was very helpful in helping us figure out what we wanted, and her assistant gave us the amazing idea to use metal flowers for our industrial-style wedding. They were by far the easiest vendor we worked with, and I never needed to worry about the cake. If I ever need another event cake, they will definitely be were I go. Did I mention that they are affordable?
The Icing On The Cake made the most delicious and perfect cake for our wedding. From the moment we met for our consultation to the time we cut the cake, TIOTC made it memorable. I highly recommend them if you want a gorgeous, delicious cake!
The Icing on the Cake did an amazing job with our wedding cake! The cake was absolutely delicious, and the team there was so nice and creative. It looked and tasted perfect. My husband and I are so glad we picked this bakery and cannot recommend it enough. We will certainly be back for all of our future cakes!
This was such an easy part of the process for us. We had one meeting where we tasted all the various combinations and set our preferences for how things would look. We interacted via email and phone a few times, and they took care of everything else. Everyone at the wedding loved our cake, and we can't wait to eat our top layer a year from now!
I'm not usually a cake person but oh my gosh, their cakes are amazing! The cake was beautiful and delicious. The staff is unbelievably nice, patient, and attentive. Highly recommend!
Our stylish and delicious cake was a big hit, even for people who don’t usually eat wedding cake! Our experience at Icing on the Cake was extremely simple. Paula has been in the industry for decades and her experience was made clear by the clarity she provided in the course of our decision process. At our tasting, we sampled a wide variety of flavors and reviewed hundreds of photos of past cakes seeking inspiration. We elected for a three-tier cake with a different flavor for each tier, complete with a fondant outline of the Boston skyline. Very happy with the results, and walked away with beautiful photos!
Icing on the Cake is the best! We worked with Paula from start to finish and she created the perfect cake for our wedding day! Paula helped bring our vision to life during our tasting and we couldn’t have been more happy with how it turned out and tasted! We can’t wait to use Icing on the Cake again in the future!
Look no further for the perfect cake. Paula created the exact cake we were looking for for our wedding. We had three flavors and all were delicious. Paula was a blast to work with and I will be going to her in the future for any cake needs.
We could not have been more thrilled with the cake we received from Icing on the Cake. The cake was absolutely gorgeous and exactly what we wanted, and of course it tasted amazing. They were so easy to work with and very responsive,
WOW. My husband and I were absolutely blown away by our wedding cake. Not only did it look amazing, it tasted absolutely incredible. It truly exceeded all our expectations. Our guests were constantly telling us how great our cake was.
Paula was so incredible to work with throughout this entire process. She was so detailed and made the process so easy and stress-free. We cannot thank Paula and everyone else at Icing On The Cake enough!! We will recommend Icing On The Cake to everyone we can in the future, you can't go wrong!!

Paula, you are amazing! The Icing on the Cake created the most beautiful and DELICIOUS wedding cake for our big day. Thank you!! - Allison & Ryan
Paula is amazing! She allows for your creativity and assists with decision making when your bride brain kicks in. The week of and day of, she was organized and calming. The cake was beautiful and tasty! 10/10! Thank you TIOTC team!
Working with IOTC was super easy, and they were very responsive to our inquiry. The tasting (even in COVID) was fun and the cakes tasted amazing! They had several example cakes depending on what you want and we were stunned at the cake she drew for us, but then on wedding day it was even better. Would recommend them to anyone getting in the greater Boston area! We had so many people compliment the cake staff at how great it was!
We tried several cake vendors before coming to TIOTC, and once we tried the cake, we were hooked! The cake was delicious and Paula was so easy to work with. The cake was exactly as we wanted it. Highly recommend!
Our wedding cake was gorgeous and delicious! Paula at The Icing on the Cake was very accommodating of our requests and kindly explained the different designs, flavors, etc. She did a great job checking in with us closer to the wedding to ensure that we got exactly what we wanted. The guests loved the cake as well! We can't wait to have our anniversary top layer! Thank you for a wonderful cake and experience!
FANTASTIC CAKE!!! Paula, the owner, was so helpful in making decisions on how much to get, style, size, etc. (I'm a terrible decision maker. My fiance doesn't like desserts at all and he LOVED the cake. We chose 3 different flavors and then did a backup sheet cake for a 4th flavor. Everyone who tried it said it was the best cake they've had. We will never go anywhere else for a custom cake!
Starting with our tasting, Paula was great to work with. We were able to have multiple flavors, which were all delicious, and we loved the simple design of our cake. She listened to what we were looking for, gave great advise and steered us towards a great decision without any pressure one way or another. We would definitely recommend the Icing on the Cake!
Icing on the Cake made the best cake we have ever tasted/seen! It was so beautiful! The owner made it with a lot of gold to go with our NYE theme! The owner even made us little cupcakes that we enjoyed the whole weekend! We will be using Icing on the Cake for all of our parties & events!
The icing on the Cake staff were so easy to work with and are true professionals! They know exactly what they are doing, from the cake tasting to the day of delivery we had zero issues! The cake was delicious and they will give you a free one-year anniversary cake if you send them a professional photo of your cake!
We love Paula and The Icing on the Cake! I got my Bat Mitzvah cake from TIOTC back in 2005 and I knew when I got married I wanted my Wedding Cake from there too. From the moment we walked into our tasting back in Feb 2020, Paula has been a dream to work with. Our cake was gorgeous and DELICIOUS.
Extra bonus: if you save a picture of your wedding cake and send to Paula, you get a free cake on your anniversary! We can't wait to relive the magic of the cake next year!
Our cake was amazing! We got 3 different flavors for our guests and they were all delicious. Great service!
Paula at Icing on the Cake was the easiest vendor to work with! Not only was our cake gorgeous, it also tasted amazing. We met with Paula less than 2 weeks before our wedding, and she assured us we had plenty of time and there was no reason to stress. At our tasting, we sampled 5 flavors but were told we could do pretty much any flavor combination of cake/ frosting/ filling that we wanted. We also ended up changing our vision for the cake after seeing their inspiration photos - and we’re so glad we did! We will absolutely be using Icing on the Cake for future celebrations and are beyond thrilled they made our wedding cake. Thank you!
Paula and her team were fabulous from start to finish. The tasting experience both fun and beyond delicious. Paula was great about giving suggestions but allowed us to make our own choices. The cake was ultimately fantastic - both in taste and visual style. We opted to get some gluten free cupcakes as well for guests and they were incredible as well. Everyone was thrilled with the dessert options and we couldn't be happier that we relied upon Icing on the Cake for our big day.
Paula was so great to work with from start to finish. We got a smaller two-tier wedding cake and then 4 kinds of wedding cupcakes...they all looked fantastic and more importantly tasted delicious! We were very happy with our experience!
Omg the cake was soooo good. Everyone loved it! And Paula was wonderful to work with. Thank you TIOTC!!
Everyone here was super friendly and helpful. They worked with us when our date changed, and couldn’t have been more kind and patient. The cake looked and tasted amazing!
BEST WEDDING CAKE EVER!!!! Seriously can't emphasize enough how fantastic The Icing on the Cake is. First, Paula was super fun to work with, immediately understood our vision and sketched up our dream cake perfectly when we first met her. The cake itself was BEAUTIFUL and exactly what we wanted. Importantly, it was also DELICIOUS. We had many guests comment that it was the best-tasting wedding cake they'd ever had. Everyone was so impressed that it both looked amazing AND tasted amazing. Definitely highly recommend!!
I got married this past Sunday & my wedding cake was made by The Icing on the cake and to say it was delicious and a hit is an understatement. The issue I have with many bakeries are that their cakes are too sweet, especially the frosting. The sugar overpower the flavors and you can’t even eat a whole slice or the cake is dry. That is NOT an issue with this bakery. It was moist and even the guests with the most sensitivity to sugar had 2 slices. The flavors were also AMAZING. Especially strawberry, orange, and raspberry. (Each tier had a different flavor filling which was the best advice from Paula and decision).
In my culture the wedding cake is central to the reception, even more so than the food. The Icing on the Cake did not disappoint me or my guests. The quality of their cakes are so good, I took the wedding topper home and shared with co-workers, it is now 3 days after my wedding and the cake is still as good as it was on my wedding day. Still soft & moist even after being refrigerated. I will definitely be ordering from them for future occasions, & I strongly suggest you do too.
I could not recommend the Icing on the Cake more! The cake is absolutely delicious and their designs are beautiful. They are very talented and Paula is so great to work with. We could not imagine having a better wedding cake!
Beautiful cake! Such great detail and Paula was amazing and very responsive
Paula was such a pleasure to work with - she was so professional, quick to respond, and kind. She ensured we felt safe and comfortable during our cake tasting (due to the pandemic). Plexiglass was installed, gloves were worn when reviewing her photobooks, and she and her staff all wore masks. The cake design we had in mind was fairly intricate and she created such a beautiful cake! It was exactly how we imagined it would be and our photographer and guests were really wowed. Moreover, the cake was absolutely delicious! We're definitely looking forward to getting more cakes from Paula in the future - my husband already knows which flavor I want for my birthday!
Paula was amazing - so efficient and professional. We had to do our cake planning last minute due to changes in our wedding on account of Covid and The Icing on the Cake was flexible and willing to help however they could. Plus, the cake was delicious!
Our cake was beautiful and delicious! Paula worked with us from the start and delivered on the exact design we wanted. There was no cake left by the end of the night! And I have since received many comments on how good it was. This is the place to go for your wedding cake!
Our wedding cake was absolutely breathtaking. Paula was such a pleasure to work with, she was so helpful during our tasting and very professional. She has 30+ years in this business and it shows! The cake was not only beautiful but tasted absolutely amazing, I could eat it every day for the rest of my life!! She also did a groom's cake for my husband as a surprise and he LOVED it! Everything was perfect - thank you so much Paula and team for helping to make our day so special. 10/10 would recommend for all your wedding cake needs!
I am in absolute awe of how our wedding cake from The Icing on the Cake turned out! Paula was fantastic to work with! We had a very specific vision for our cake, and they truly brought it to life. Since my husband and I are from two different cities, we asked that the skylines of both be incorporated, and they did a wonderful job making this happen with incredible detail. Our wedding was at the Museum of Science (I am a scientist myself), and so instead of traditional piping on the other tiers, Paula suggested we do some science themed piping -- DNA and molecules. It was absolutely amazing, and the work put into it was incredible. To top it all off, the cake was delicious! All the guests loved it, and everything was finished the night of the wedding!
I met someone who had previously worked in the wedding industry and I asked him if he could recommend one place for us to get our cake, what would it be? His answer: The Icing on the Cake. They did not disappoint!
Paula was a pleasure to work with and made the process so easy. She helped us decide what would be most efficient for our guest count while allowing us multiple flavor options. Several guests said they always expect wedding cake to be dry and were blown away with how incredible the cake was. My Dad has my Mom sneak him extra pieces! We truly could not have been happier with every piece from the tasting, design, and delivery. Highly recommended!!
My wedding was over two months ago and I STILL have my guests raving about the cupcakes we had. This place is incredible. I will absolutely use them again for other events.
Paula and the team were amazing! From the tasting to the cake delivery, they were very understanding, honest and nice! The cake was also delicious of course :). We loved the options for flavors but also for helping us think through the most cost efficient way to have what we want and need. I appreciate this so much in a world of craziness with wedding costs! Our wedding cake was a highlight and we received tons of compliments - highly recommend them!!
The cake was beautiful and delicious! Everyone raved about beautiful design (bare naked) andthe different flavors.
So easy to deal with. I would highly recommend Icing on the Cake for Weddings and any type of bakery needs.
They are the best.
Our wedding cake was perfect...
Delicious and spot on in appearance. Delivered seamlessly to our venue. Highly recommended.
I would not be lying to say that the cake was by far the easiest part of our wedding. From the second I talked to Paula on the phone to set up a time to come in and discuss the details she could not have been more accommodating! We had to reschedule a few times due to the Bruins playoffs (Paula’s a fan too so it worked out), but when we met with Paula in person everything just fell into place. She asked all the right questions, and advised us on things we didn’t have answers for (what size cake do you need for 200 guests?), showed us some examples of cakes she has done in the past and asked the big question, “what did you always dream your wedding cake would look like?”. It’s like she could read my mind because the cake could not have been more perfect! The colors matched our decor, the rope and grommets matched our nautical Cape Cod theme, and the cake itself was delicious! The best part of meeting with Paula was of course getting to taste the different flavors of cakes they make – this was the real hard part – deciding which ones to choose, they were all amazing! After that meeting we knew we could check one big item off our to-do list and never look back. Now we just need to come up with reasons we need cake to work with Paula again :)
We ordered our wedding cake from Icing on the Cake. The cake was so good. Guests were telling us how much they loved the cake. Icing on the Cake was able to make cupcakes that were nut free and egg free to accommodate some of our guests.
Our wedding cake was fabulous! TIOTC was one of the options as part of our venue's catering package, and we are so glad that it was! Paula was fun to work with, and my husband and I had a great time at our tasting. She helped us to pick a design that blended traditional and modern styles, and that would fit well with the reception space. We chose the amaretto filling and strawberry filling with gold cake, and both were delicious.
The cake was amazing ! It was even prettier in person than what I imagined! So much detail! The icing on the cake is so easy to work with and best of all their cakes are delicious!!
Our cake was great! Not exactly what I envision it looking like, but overall a great cake! The team at Icing was phenomenal and super easy to work with!
They were so amazing to work with and design our wedding cake! She shows you every option and had so much fun cake tasting! Everyone there is so nice and professional...they stayed on top of checking in and confirming everything before my wedding day. I had so much planning going on so it was great to have such friendly, helpful people make my wedding cake. It was beautiful...beyond expectations and everyone still says how yummy it was! The hardest part is choosing which flavors your cake will be since you will want them all!
Our cake from TIOTC was so beautiful, and Paula was really warm and a pleasure to work with. The decorations on the cake were perfect and matched what we wanted exactly. The cake was super moist and we got plenty of compliments on it!
We could not have picked a better place to make our wedding cake! Everyone at The Icing on the Cake was so helpful throughout the entire planning process and they really understood what we were looking for! Paula was so awesome at understanding our vision for our wedding cake and she was very responsive and always willing to talk with us whenever needed! Our cake looked absolutely beautiful and it was exactly what we wanted! We had a 4-tiered cake and we loved that we were able to choose a different flavor for each tier! They have the best tasting cake ever! We have not found another place that has better tasting cake than they do! We cannot thank The Icing on the Cake enough for an amazing wedding cake inside and out!
