Visually and flavor-wise our cake was perfect! Working with The Master's Baker was a great experience and they were able to turn our ideas into something fantastic. Seeing the wedding cake on the day of the wedding was a highlight for us to see it all come together. We chose their peekaboo style cake which let us add in extra personality to our cake on one side, while leaving the other side more traditional which was perfect. Our guests all loved the design and said the cake tasted great! From the first tasting we knew we were in good hands. The cake was included in our package through our venue, but we chose to do upgrades, which were all reasonably priced. We highly recommend to anyone who wants cake that looks and tastes delicious to use The Master's Baker.
The Master’s Baker was one of the cake bakeries provided to us by our wedding venue and it didn’t take long to win us over at the cake tasting! The cake tasting that they provide at their studio in West Chester is amazing. All of the flavor options they have available are delicious. We were very happy with the cake that we chose and received many compliments on it on our wedding day! On top of being delicious, the cake was also beautiful! The Master’s Baker does amazing work.
My wedding cake from this bakery was gross. It was kind of pretty but they sprayed it all over with glitter which was the trashiest thing I have ever seen. I got married, I didn’t turn 1. The inside was wet, I think they forgot an ingredient but when I reached out to ask what happened, nothing. Maybe they look good to toddlers but what a shit customer service experience.
Fabulous wedding cake. We ordered a speciality egg free and dairy free red velvet cake. Not only did it taste amazing, but the cake we had the day after also tasted just the same after being fridge. Would definitely recommend them for all cake needs.
From our tasting to making our vision come to life, Master's Baker was fabulous. Our cake was delicious and aesthetically beautiful! We loved how our initials turned out!
Master’s Baked recently did our wedding cake and it was amazing!! Not only was the design beautiful but the cake was delicious as well! They have so many great cake options/combinations and tons of design flexibility! They worked with us to pick the perfect flavors and to create a design that matched the theme we were going for at our wedding! Loved working with them and plan to go back for many future events!
Our cake was included with our catering package. But regardless it was beautiful and delicious!
We absolutely loved our wedding cake from The Master’s Baker. The staff was very kind and approachable when we came to design our cake. It turned out flawless! We could not have been happier, and our guests really enjoyed that we had multiple flavors to offer. We will be saving our top tier. Would highly recommend this vendor for all of your cake needs! Delicious and beautiful!
The cake came with our catering package and was not initially something I had strong feelings about. They were very easy to work with. Our cake was delicious and turned out beautifully. They have an almond flavored cake which was very good and felt more unique. Everything felt a little like an upcharge if you deviated from their “basics”. The cake was no a big deal to us so this did not end up mattering. The cake did turn out beautifully and exactly as we had discussed. Bonus they make you a little mini cake for your anniversary which I thought was very sweet.
We had the best experience with the Master's Baker. They were professional and the cakes were delicious! Gi was great to work with and helped us with the 3-D aspect of the wedding cake. We were so happy with how our cake came out and would definitely choose them all over again if we had to!
Our beautiful cake was included in our amazing wedding package. The cake design and process was easy with The Masters Baker and enjoyable just as Christina's Catering at the Gardens at Applecross described.
Our delicious wedding cake was beautiful and better than we imagined. Thank you.
We chose this bakery due to the incredible taste, professionalism, reputation and artistry behind their wedding cakes. I even had this bakery create a surprise groom's cake for my husband at the reception. From the in-person consult to the wedding day, they were great to work with and captured exactly what we wanted out of a wedding cake. Thank you!
We got paired with the master’s baker due to our catering contract with Serock. Communication was great, the tasting was even better! I definitely recommend the custom tasting. We were so impressed with all the flavors! I did not have a great idea of what I wanted the design to be but brought some inspiration photos. The team helped and the designing actually turned out to be quite fun! The cake looked absolutely beautiful and so many guests commented on that, as well as how delicious it was!
Our cake from the MASTER'S BAKER was exceptional. We enjoyed our tasting and loved our wedding cake. It was included with our wedding package and we were delighted. Thank you.
Our cake was beautiful!
We were lucky enough to have Master’s Baker design and bake our cake for our August 31st wedding! They were partnered with our caterer, but Master’s Baker was already on our list of bakers because we have used them many times for various events throughout my family’s life and couldn’t have not had one of their cakes at our wedding!
The cake tasting was one of my favorite days leading up to the wedding. I am a self-proclaimed “non-dessert eater”, and had left the cake flavor choice up to my now-husband. HOWEVER, I think I ended up eating more of the cake samples and might be a sweet lover now. We chose carrot cake and pound cake for our four-tiered cake, and a elegant, white piped design. The carrot-cake was a crowd favorite and was all any of our guests could talk about!
We also had an unusual request – our cake topper was a mini figurine of our dog and we wanted it to look like he was eating the cake! Master’s Bake took the challenge and delivered. The cake was absolutely beautiful. We would highly recommend Master’s Baker if you would like a stunning cake that also tastes DELICIOUS!
Cake was beautiful and elegant. I had no idea the cake was even at the venue already they’re like magic. So pretty and tasted amazing
Our cake from The Master's Baker was absolutely gorgeous and delicious. We had so much fun at our cake tasting selecting our flavors, and loved that they gave us privacy so that we could talk about our thoughts on the different flavors without feeling rushed. Everyone at The Master's Baker is so kind and responds quickly to questions over email/the phone. We already can't wait to eat our top tier on 8/17/2025! I cannot recommend this bakery enough.
My wife and I had a wonderful experience going to the bakery to try all the flavors for our cake tasting. We had a cake included in our package with the venue we chose and they were so helpful in helping us design the cake of our dreams! My favorite part of the entire process is that we get a free anniversary cake for our first year anniversary so we didn’t even have to save the top tier! We can’t wait to reminisce in a year from now together over more of our delicious wedding cake!! Couldn’t recommend them enough!!
We had a good experience working with The Master's Baker to create our wedding cake. We had a great time working with Beth at our cake tasting, and they let us take all the samples home! Overall, they were pretty easy to work with, although we did have some occasional difficulty getting in contact with Beth, leading to some logistical confusion regarding whether and when the cake would be delivered. Nonetheless, we are super grateful because we ended up having some last minute changes to the cake design, which they handled in stride and ultimately created for us our dream wedding cake. Of course, I have to mention that the cake was DELICIOUS! We would happily work with The Master's Baker again and can't wait to visit again to pick up our complimentary 1 year anniversary cake next year!
Thank you Master’s Baker for making our tropical cake come alive. It was beautiful and everything we wanted! You followed the design perfectly. Everyone could not believe how beautiful the cake was and the detail. The details on the cake were spectacular. We had 2 flavors vanilla and lemon and we were so happy with those flavors. Thank you for making our wedding cake fit our tropical wedding!

My now-husband and I are big dessert fans and we both were thrilled with our wedding cake from The Master's Baker! With the cake being included in our wedding venue's package, we were a little concerned with how much flexibility we'd have with picking. Luckily, we personally had lots of options to choose from and could choose to pay extra if we wanted to upgrade. There are tons of cake and icing flavors, as well as jams, to choose from!
We chose their chocolate chip cake with vanilla buttercream icing and were very happy with our choice. Our guests loved it too, and many people said that it was the best wedding cake that they ever had. The design looked exactly like the sample they showed us too.
We did a tasting meeting and worked with Beth. She was very professional and kind, balancing being available for questions with giving us time to talk about the flavors alone. She made the process easy and fun! And because we were the last appointment of the day, she let us take home some of the leftover cake, so we got to share it with our families.
We also got mini desserts from them as part of our venue package and while we didn't get the chance to try them ourselves, our guests said that they were delicious too.
Definitely recommend The Master's Baker!
On the big day, the cake was delivered on time and set up flawlessly. It was truly a highlight of our wedding, adding a sweet touch to our celebration.
Thank you, The Master's Baker, for making our wedding day extra special with your amazing creation. We highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a beautiful and delicious cake for their special occasion!
Cake tasted amazing and the design was SO COOL. It was everything I wanted
Our cake was so delicious and so pretty! The master’s baker team was extremely professional and helped bring our cake ideas to life! Highly recommend!
Our cake was beautiful and just what we wanted. It tasted great. We are so happy with our baker choice
My parents loved their wedding cake so much that they decided every year on their anniversary, they would get the top- tiered part of the cake. This is their second anniversary so I surprised them by ordering the cake. Unfortunately, when they tried the cake it tasted disgusting. It tasted exactly like Dawn dish soap. This led to my mom throwing up after just one bite. When speaking with the owner (Chad) he explained that the cake tasted perfectly fine and that this was the original recipe. My parents and I tried to talk to him respectfully, but he kept on raising his voice and he continuously stated “ I’m done, I don’t have time for this”. Chad does not have appropriate customer service and it is apparent that he has a short temper. When my mother decided to write a review Chad decided he would not give me my refund. Before the review was posted he had stated “ I would give you a full refund, which is something I don’t usually do.” Chad told me the only way I could get my refund is if my mother took down her review and apologized to his staff in an email. Knowing that my mother was right for being upset since the cake was in fact disgusting. I do not understand why he would not give me the refund when it wasn't my review. If we want to get technical, anyone that enters an establishment is entitled to their own opinions, thoughts and feelings. Chad these reviews are for you to learn from your mistakes to improve yourself as a business and as a person so, respectfully Chad here is my review since you do not understand the importance of professional and respectful customer service.
The Master's Baker is perfect! They created the most lusciously delicious cake for us! We met one-on-one with a cake designer there who presented us with so many options for color, shape, and flavors. They let us taste every option, and even went to their kitchen to see if they had additional things we wanted to try (which they did!). The final cake was gorgeous and delicious, and we are still receiving compliments from our guests for it!
The Master's Baker team was truly a joy to work with and we were so lucky that they were the joint company with our venue, Finley Catering. From the onset of the tasting, we were greeted by Aly with such joy and excitement for our special day. The designers were ready and able to show us all of the free options that were provided since they were a partnership with Finley Catering, while also explaining how we were able to upgrade any of the design elements that would best fit our needs.
The cakes were beyond delicious. We loved being able to pair the different flavors of icing/fillings with the different flavors of cakes in order for us to see which pairings we enjoyed the most and to see which would be the best for all of our differing opinions from family and friends. The thing we also really enjoyed about the experience was that Aly gave us so much free range with our decision making - she asked about what kind of styles we were leaning most towards and also asked us if we had any inspirations that we were hoping to emulate, but she also allowed my husband and I to have the room to ourselves so that we could openly talk, discuss flavor profiles, and think about our visions without someone watching our every move.
In the end, we decided that we would have an option available for the "free option," but we knew our hearts were really hoping to create a completely unique cake. We showed her 4 different style inspirations of cakes we saw on Pinterest along with how we wanted our cake to look, if we were to upgrade.
Aly took diligent notes about our requests, presented a drawing from the designers with a thought on how our vision could be brought to life, and the cost associated with upgrading. We were actually shocked at how reasonable the price was for the upgrade for a 4-tier cake so we went with that. The finished product was absolutely breathtaking and it far-exceeded any dream we could have had for our wedding cake. To be frank, we teared up when we saw the cake and were completely speechless about how they brought our vision to life.
At the end of it all, we did save our top tier to try to still enjoy the tradition, but we also love that Master's Baker also provides a free anniversary cake for us to enjoy as our one year anniversary approaches. We may do some flavor upgrades, because their cakes are just that good! Thank you for working with us and making our special day even more amazing!
Our wedding cake was a HUGE hit! We did a Philly sports meets burgundy winter wedding theme and it was more beautiful than I could have even imagined. I got so many compliments on the cake design but also on the flavor!! It was delicious. We also really loved being able to go in for a cake tasting during our wedding planning. Definitely an incredible experience and we will be using TMB for future cakes for sure!!
Our wedding cake was by The Master Baker and it was absolutely delicious and so beautiful! We had a December wedding with a rustic vibe and asked for icing pinecones, they knocked it out or the park! We also wanted flavors that made sense for December and got apple spice and cinnamon sugar cookie with vanilla buttercream. Best cake ever! We finished every last bite of the leftovers. The tasting experience was also such a fun thing to do with my (then) Fiance. Highly recommend!
The cake was beautiful, exactly what we envisioned, and delicious!! We had such great feedback from our guests. And everyone loved the figurine of our cat that we sent to the bakery in advance.
They were so kind and responsive.
We had a great experience with the Master’s Baker. They did an excellent job with our wedding cake. It was delicious and the presentation was outstanding!
We worked with the Master’s Baker through our caterer, Serock for our wedding on 10/21/23. Our experience with the Master’s Baker for our wedding cake was nothing short of extraordinary. They expertly guided us through the selection process, understanding our preferences and vision. The end result was a masterpiece—a wedding cake that not only looked stunning but also tasted delicious. The Master’s Baker's skill and attention to detail were evident in every layer, making our special day even sweeter. We are grateful for their talent and contribution to creating a truly amazing wedding cake that left a lasting impression on us and our guests.
Professional and met all of our needs. Cake was tasty and loved taking home the leftover cuts from the wedding. Can't wait to eat our anniversary cake!

The Masters Baker was so easy to work with and made a beautiful and yummy cake. They captured just what we wanted and delivered it flawlessly day of! They coordinated with our florist to add fresh flowers. Our cake was a hit!
The master's baker was great to work with for our wedding. During our tasting, Ally took her time walking us through design style ideas for our cake to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. We tasted several different types of cake and had a hard time making a final decision because everything tested so good! Our wedding cake was beautiful and absolutely delicious!
Our cake came out absolutely beautiful- and delicious! We loved that they showed us all sorts of designs and we were able to pull parts from different cakes to create ours.
Delicious cake at our wedding!! They made the cake tasting so much fun too.
So glad we went with The Master Baker for our wedding!!! The hardest part about choosing flavors and frostings was the fact that they were all so delicious!!! The cake was beautiful and tasty. And we decided to go with additional desserts as well. The salted caramel brownies were a big hit! I think I will have to go back for those when I host events in the future.
And everyone was a pro every step of the way. From the initial cake testing to delivery. They are worth every penny!!!
I loved our cake! Our cake was included in our wedding package and everything was so easy. The tasting was hands down my favorite part of wedding planning and was one of those moments that made everything start to feel real. Our cake was delicious and we will definitely be reaching out for an anniversary cake next year!
Great cake and very friendly staff during the tasting!
The Master's Baker made us a beautiful two tier cake for our wedding! A cake with them was included in our venue package and we only wanted to go with a smaller cake, so we also got to choose supplemental desserts. The cake was absolutely beautiful and tasted so yummy! Because we went with the smaller cake and had a substantial guest count, we got to pick other desserts and went with cannolis and mini cheesecakes. I didn't try any because I was stuffed, but everyone said they were delicious. I already miss the taste of our wedding cake and wish I could have some right now! The flowers and decorations were beautiful on the cake and matched everything perfectly.
We loved our cake! We received a free cake from the Master's Baker through our venue package and were so pleasantly surprised with the quality and taste of the cake! We had a great time at our cake tasting and they were really accommodating with the designs we wanted.
We received a free cake from the Master's Baker as part of our venue package, but you could never tell it was free based on the quality of the cake we received! Our tasting was so much fun choosing the flavors for our cake and it was delicious! We had bought two cake toppers, one of our dog and one our last name. Both were placed exactly where we wanted them and everything looked beautiful! We can't wait to get our one year anniversary cake next year!
Oh my gosh our cake was outstanding! Our cake was so delicious and everyone enjoyed it! Our cake tasting was so much fun and The Master's Baker was so helpful through the whole process!
My husband and I loved our wedding cake. Their carrot cake and chocolate cake are to die for! Great service, fantastic customer service, and beautiful cakes!
We absolutely loved our wedding cake from the Master’s Baker! The cake was beautiful and delicious. The team was easy to work with and made our vision come to life!
We did a virtual tasting, so I went to pick up a box of the most popular cake flavors and icing/jams. We choose the lemon velvet and cinnamon sugar cake, both with vanilla buttercream icing. It was very delicious, and the cake looked stunning in pictures.
The Master’s Baker was included in our venue contract and we are so pleased it was! I ate more cake at the tasting than I have all year. Each option was thoroughly explained, including upgrade options, without making us feel pressured to choose the upgrades. On our wedding day, the cake was gorgeous and tasted even better - lemon cake with raspberry jam for the win!
I am from West Chester, and grew up having Masters Baker for special occasions. Couldn't wait to use them for my wedding! My husband and I were so happy with the service we received. Our lemon velvet cake with swiss meringue filling alternating with vanilla sour cream pound cake with vanilla buttercream filling was amazing! All of our guests raved about it as well :). The buttercream flower details turned out beautiful too.
I feel like this place is similar to a “tourist trap” but instead a wedding trap. It seems really great from reviews and from all the venues that have partnerships with them but I had several issues with them. First off we didn’t get to try all the flavors we wanted at the consultation (no red velvet) so we asked to try others which they did do for free and it seemed great until I went to pick it up and it was not ready and nor was there the correct flavors of cake and icing in there that I requested. I had driven 25 minutes to pick this up and made the mistake of getting home before looking. I wasn’t going to drive back so we just settled on the flavors we tried. Next I emailed them 3 times with no answer to confirm the flavors we actually wanted. No one ever answered me for a substantial amount of time so I ended up calling them & they did finally take note of the flavors we wanted but charged me 40 extra dollars for a premium icing which was cream cheese icing to go with red velvet cake- the other only option seemed to be vanilla icing? Lastly we had spent 45 minutes at our consultation discussing what we wanted the cake to look like- the colors we wanted and the style. We picked exact pictures that the consultant showed us and it seemed she was writing it all down HOWEVER less than 24 hours from my actual wedding day- I have someone calling me to ask me what I want my cake to look like ??As I’m rushing around last minute to do things and get ready for rehearsal the women was asking me to send pictures of what I wanted our cake to look like. I had to call back and clarify we had already picked from pictures they had provided us. Don’t expect a personalized experience or consistency.
From tasting to wedding day The Master’s Baker exceeded all expectations! They were so easy to work with and created the cake of our dreams! Our guests are still raving about our cake!
The Master’s Baker is an award winning baker. John Serock Catering also works exclusively with the Master’s Baker. At our tasting, we had the pleasure of choosing from 8 cakes and 6 icing flavors. When I say it was a more difficult decision than picking a wedding dress, I mean it. Daulton and I chose the lemon-blueberry and chocolate chip cakes with vanilla buttercream icing. We actually kept our cake flavors, design, and details a SECRET. Throughout our engagement we would buy small cake topper in our flavors to celebrate us getting closer to our big day. Sorry to all our family members who missed out on all that delicious cake!!!
We used Master’s for our Wedding Cake because it was included in our venue contract but after tasting their cake and desserts, we would have used them regardless. Everything - from cake to dessert was amazing! I’m a celiac (gluten free), love dessert and wanted to be able to eat all the food at our wedding. Master’s was not phased by this at all! They made us a completely gluten free wedding cake and mini desserts - cleaning the kitchen before making any of our baked goods. Everyone at our wedding was in awe that a cake could a) be so delicious and b) also be gluten free. Every one of our vendors knew we were incredibly excited for our wedding cake and now, only 4 days after our wedding - we cannot wait for our first anniversary cake to experience it all again!
Note: There were crazy upcharges for a gluten free tasting and for making the day-of desserts/cake gluten free, for that reason we gave 4 stars but taste and quality wise, everything was 5 stars all-around.
The Master's Baker made our wedding cake as part of a package with our reception venue, The Drexelbrook. Everyone we worked with was great! The cake tasting was so much fun! Everything was delicious and there were so many flavor options, it was hard to choose! Cake turned out beautiful and tasted incredible!
These cakes are incredible! We got our wedding cake from them, and it was amazing! The design, the taste, everything about it was perfect. It was easy to schedule a tasting, and the shop is on a really cute street if you want to make a day out of it! I would highly recommend this bakery.
The Master Bakers were phenomenal!! Our wedding was March 10th, and we had our initial meeting with them back in October where we were able to eat so many different cakes! It was there that we talked about what we wanted our wedding cake to be like, and came to a conclusion on a final vision. A few months later I had a slightly different idea in mind, and when I reached out to them to make the adjustments they were more than happy to pivot the final product! The staff is incredible, and the cake is phenomenal!! (We still have extra weeks later after giving some away, and it tastes just as good!)
My cake was simple but stunning! More importantly - it was absolutely DELICIOUS. We had 2 different flavors, and everyone raved about how good the cake was. I'm not even a big cake person in general, but I ate a slice of each flavor.
