The Pastry Garden Bakery

a cake on the top. When we got there we were rushed through tasting the flavors we selected, repetitively badgered about paying the $7 for the sample then after everything was done she told us we couldn't have anything we originally wanted. When I started asking questions to clarify, she slapped my arm said I've already gone over all of this with you then sighed and said I guess I'll do it all over again. She walked away for a few minutes, came back and very quickly went over everything she was willing to do (which was as far from what we wanted and agreed to on the phone). When asked about added touches "it isnt worth it, you're just throwing money away". We also went to our venue today to finalize a few more things with them and spoke to our planner about the encounter. She dropped her head and apologized immensely and told us many of her recent couples have complained about them and they are looking into a new bakery to do their cakes because of this. I do not recommend them unless you want a plain white frosted cake with no decor what so ever...

ich was super helpful. Once that was decided, we didn't have to worry about anything! The cake was so delicous- our guests still mention how yummy & beautiful it was two months later!! Thank you Pastry Garden!

knew I had to have. We have been using Pastry Garden as our cake baker for birthdays and graduations for years now and we have never been disappointed. I'm gluten free and they were able to make the top tier of the cake gluten free so I could enjoy my own wedding cake! Everything from our tasting, to working on the design, to seeing our cake on our wedding day was absolutely amazing. I will never go anywhere else for a cake and I would recommend them in a heartbeat!

you go for your tasting depending what package your venue uses - we ended up upgrading to funfetti cake which was a huge hit and delicious!

was very helpful. The tasting itself was fun (just be prepared for a sugar-induced coma) and we were able to discuss flavors and design. Our cake's design came out exactly as we had envisioned and it was moist and just perfect. Plus, it's very thoughtful of the Pastry Garden to give wedding couples a 6-inch version of their cake boxed up to take home, and we look forward to enjoying ours at our 1st anniversary. Highly recommend the Pastry Garden!

tely delicious! We when went for the consult, the sample was delicious and I assumed it would be less tasty on the big day - boy was I wrong. When we did the cake cutting and first bite I was pleasantly surprised. The whole process was very easy and they were a pleasure to work with. I am looking forward to our 1 year anniversary to taste the cake again!

delicious, and we got several compliments on the cake from our guests. We already ate our one anniversary cake topper though lol

d some cupcakes from the bakery during an event at our venue and weren't initially impressed, but decided to give them another go and do the tasting anyway and we are happy we did that.

ling. I wanted something different, and my god, the apple cinnamon was different (and delicious)! I raved to EVERYONE about the cake tasting. Fast forward to the wedding, I was almost in tears because I legitimately thought it was the wrong cake. There was nothing "apple cinnamon" about it - in fact, it had NO taste. I have a major sweet tooth & I couldn't even eat it because it was so tasteless. Had it been ANY other product, I would have returned the entire thing without a second thought. I had an actual snowstorm on my wedding day, and the only thing that was not PERFECT was the cake. To top it all off, in return for the hundreds & hundreds of dollars that we spent on the cake, we got a refund that was less than the DELIVERY FEE. I am so disappointed. I didn't even save the cake for our 1 year anniversary! Sad to say, not worth it.

e wedding cake" option as it's pretty basic and kind of lackluster. Although it seemed silly at the time to upgrade and pay an extra $150, I think it was well worth it. I thought the cake tasted amazing and was moist and flavorful! In the grand scheme of things, the $150 was nothing compared to the wedding venue costs!

from our florist but it was still elegant looking. We would definitely recommend this bakery for any event that may need a cake or other pastries for that matter.

were great. We loved what we chose the best though. It was incredibly moist. We were nervous that Pastry Garden wouldn't be able to replicate that on such a large scale. We couldn't be more wrong. Everyone raved about the cake. We ate some the next day, and it was still as good. Also, the cake was beautiful. The white buttercream all over was perfect. We added real flowers from our florist (Country Gardeners) and a custom wooden cake topper from (WoodenWeddingDecor on Etsy). Several friends insta-grammed the cake on their own. We also ordered two birthday cupcakes and some Italian cookies for our reception. (At our tasting, we got to try a bunch of different cookies too!) Everything was beautiful and delicious. I can't wait to eat our anniversary cake next year. (We had the Silver package at Pastry Garden through our venue - The Interlaken Inn)

way by how good it was. The owner was so sweet to us and we went through their catalog, as well as Pinterest to pick a design we liked. As far as flavors, the pumpkin spice cake was RIDICULOUS, but the apple cinnamon was very good as well. At the end of the day, she suggested layering them. To make a long story short, multiple guests told us that this was by far the best wedding cake they’d ever tasted, my wife and I agreed. It was so good that we actually cut into our anniversary piece the day after the wedding; that’s how good it was. I would recommend the pastry garden to absolutely anyone.

sting at our tasting and the staff was helpful in helping choose popular combinations and ways to decorate. They also provided us with a 6 inch cake to take home and enjoy after the wedding. That was amazing since I was only able to eat a few bites the night of. We'll definitely be going back to order a cake for our 1 year anniversary!

ks. We sent them multiple emails with no responses. We called them multiple times and the phone line was busy. Finally we decided to take the 45 min drive and stop at the store. When we got there they told us that there was nothing they could do because the wedding person was not there. A few minutes later the manager came out and told us she had to leave and couldn't help us and was really rude. She said that she would reach out to us on Tuesday. We waited and waited, they never reached out. Finally, i contacted my venue and told them about the mess because they are affiliated with them. My wedding planner had to physically reach out them and get everything finalized for our wedding. The cake at the wedding was beautiful and tasted awesome but they have TERRIBLE customer service and for that reason alone I will never go back there. Beware of this shop. If you use them, make sure you stay on top of them about your order.

sts all said they were absolutely the most delicious cupcakes they have ever had and we now are ordering all of our birthday cakes through them. If you live in the area you absolutely have to use them!

red buttercream creation with a cascade of coral Hawaiian flowers (gumpaste) down the side. Not only did it look impressive, but it tasted delicious! We had a lemon cake, filled with lemon curd and raspberry mousse. Many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed our cake. Thank you, Pastry Garden, for such a wonderful creation!

each layer, and elegantly presented!

n't know about their more intricate offering, but for taste and quality, I would recommend Pastry Garden.

o business with them!

as easy to chat with and helped us find a combination of flavors that worked. On the wedding day, we were blown away with the cake that was made. Not only was it absolutely beautiful, it was also delicious. Many of our guests told us that it was the best wedding cake they have ever had! We also had The Pastry Garden make macarons for a macaron bar. They could not be more light, fluffy and delish! We highly recommend the Pastry Garden and will continue to go back for anniversary cakes!

ific too!

ve appreciated more input from the professionals. While it was nice that they allowed us to make decisions, their expertise would have been helpful in deciding colors and look of the cake. It almost seemed as if we were a "bump" in their day, having to take time to meet with us for the consult. Overall, though, we were extremely satisfied with the flavors of the cakes we ordered (we also ordered a birthday cake for one of our guests) and the overall extra cost we paid.

t some together on the spot. I was turned off by this as I figured they would've have to prepare ahead of time and should've phoned us instead of waiting till we arrived, but we decided to try some flavora anyway as we drove over an hour for the tasting. Our tasting didn't get much better as the we lady we worked with was extremely rude. I asked to try peach and she said no you don't want to try that and suggested strawberry. Actually I did want to try the peach, but she insisted no and my fiancé urged me to settle on trying raspberry. Then I asked to try the tiramisu flavor and once again was told I couldn't. She insisted that if I liked tiramisu I would like the mocha. Long story short I was very dissatisfied with this experience and the cake was very average at best. And as for our sweet ending- we even had to pay the 25 dollar tasting fee after all of that mess.

there was a hiccup with the website and our sample choices weren’t loaded properly. When we went for our tasting, the staff at the Pastry Garden was very understanding and accommodating, they even gave us an additional sample free of charge (due to the internet mix up). For our day, we chose a white cake with fudge and caramel mousse, which pleased EVERYONE, even my groom and his “sweet tooth.” He LOVES chocolate and wanted everything chocolate (including the cake, frosting and filling) but he was super pleased with the white cake with fudge and caramel mousse. Thanks Pastry Garden!

ding we were having to help design the best cake for us. Complete with her experience and pictures, we were able to come up with a design that we were both happy with. She suggested fresh flowers around my naked cake (I’m not that into frosting), and because it was a fall wedding, we all went with the apple cinnamon and white chocolate mousse filling – yummy! The fresh flower suggestion was perfect because it tied in with my personal bouquet and it also was our personality (e.g. elegant but not over the top). Can't wait to dig into the anniversary cake!!

s on the pies were fantastic and both the apple and pumpkin pies were delicious—not too sweet and held up great being cut into slices. The cupcakes were their marble cake with both fudge icing and vanilla icing. The size of the cupcakes were great and the proportion of cake to icing was spot on.

nd a beautiful black and white design to match our wedding theme. Delivered without trouble to the venue and everyone loved it. Very happy with it.

e and Lisa were great to work with, and were super responsive in answering all of my questions leading up to the wedding. The cake looked gorgeous- it matched the inspiration picture I gave them exactly! Not to mention- I think everyone I talked to after the wedding said it was the best wedding cake they had ever had- and we agree! They also gave us a 6" cake to freeze and have on our first anniversary. At the wedding, my husband and I were too busy dancing that we didn't get to have any cake (besides a quick taste when we cut it), and I was bummed. We ended up cutting out a slice of the extra 6" the day after the wedding so we could taste it, and froze the rest...we couldn't resist! Thanks, Pastry Garden! xo Kate & Dan

l cost and brought in my own cake from somewhere else, but I thought, why on earth spend that money if I don't have to? But once we went to our tasting, all my worries were immediately dispelled! The only problem we had was deciding which flavors to go with, because everything we tasted was so good! We settled on a white marble cake with alternating layers of chocolate mousse and espresso mousse, and our guests loved it! We got so many comments about the cake. They also had a ton of options for decorating it, but there was a picture of a cake on pinterest, in my wedding colors, that I just fell in love with, and they were more than happy to replicate any photo that I brought in. I did pay a little extra for fondant and the sugar flower, but that was expected. They also gave us a separate, 6" cake with our flavors to take home and have for our one-year anniversary, which was great because we didn't have to worry about remembering to take the top tier of the wedding cake. Whether you're getting married at one of the venues that includes a Pastry Garden cake or not, I highly recommend them! Can't wait to eat it again in a year!

tures of how I wanted the icing and everything was great. It tasted soooo good. I would definitely recommend them to any couple or for any other cake needs!

deal, but would have been nice to have that right. Of course, taste overrides everything and Pastry Garden wins in that department.

and flair. Second, while we decided to choose from the basic fillings and frostings, the cake tasted AMAZING! To my great surprise, everyone loved the cake. I would trust them to bake up something that tastes amazing and looks however you'd like, modern, traditional, sophisticated, artsy, whatever! I would certainly use their services for my cake needs in the future. Thank you Pastry Garden! You certainly exceeded my expectations!

tasted!! Not many people can say that about wedding cakes- pastry garden is by far the best. (We tried other bakeries first before going with pastry garden)

pt the sophistication of an elegant wedding with the fantastic flavor combinations offered. We chose a lemon cake with raspberry mouse and chocolate cake with strawberry preserves. To our surprise, they also included two six inch cakes - one for the cake cutting ceremony during the event and one to freeze for an anniversary cake next year! In addition, we were also able to rent a cupcake stand from them for the night. Our guests raved about the flavors that were clearly made from scratch and tasted like a homemade cupcake.

on both the appearance and the taste of our wedding cake. We're looking forward to eating it again on our first anniversary!

layers of chocolate and vanilla custard and it was delicious! we got so many compliments on the cake, how it looked and how it tasted.

a picture of what I would like the cake to look like and the cake did look like the photo. I wasn't thrilled with the coloration of the decoration but it looked nice. Overall, awesome job.

D!!!

t we would have liked it a little taller like the picture we gave. We did have a smaller wedding so the tires we according to guest numbers . We did white cake with buttercream frosting with cannoli and chocolate ganache filling . I personally only had a bite while running back to the dance floor. The cake was good could have been a little more moist. Our guests loved it though ! We would used the pastry garden again.

nilla buttercream frosting, and it was absolutely delicious. We sampled other cake flavor combinations during our tasting, and they were all outstanding. Pastry Garden also has a huge selection of designs for all types of tastes.

rs of light blue and plum accents. This has to be one of the best cakes I have ever tried. I must also admit that we did buy the same cake with the fillings for Thanksgiving to make sure it was as good as we remembered before the wedding, trust me, they did not disappoint.

kers, and then later, as a teenager, my family owned a donut shop. I know my sweets - and at this point in my life, don't like them. My husband, on the other hand, is a fellow cake not-liker. He is a professional birthday party clown and after two decades of hundreds of birthday parties a year, he has exhausted the cake eating capacity in his life. We do like dark chocolate. So in the end, we got a dark chocolate cake, layered with cherry preserves and topped with dark chocolate ganache. No cream! And not a white cake. They did a terrific job and their delivery to my wedding locale was seamless; it was just there and set up when I got there on my wedding day. They were really able to make us the non-traditional and delicious cake we wanted. My husband's sister, who is also a cake maker, even said it was one of the most delicious wedding cakes she had ever had. We're looking forward to eating the top on our one-year anniversary.

with ribbon and diamonds to decorate the cake.

ought in a few pictures of cake styles we liked, and at our wedding when we first saw the cake, it was executed perfectly. Although we only ate a few bites of cake at our actual wedding, it was delicious. Numerous guests told us how good our cake was, and we are looking forward to eating more on our 1 year anniversary!

es for the family for the rehearsal dinner and they were also very good!

rk with them. We came in with the crazy request of a half traditional half batman inspired cake because my husband was obsessed and since the wedding was traditional we wanted the cake to be fun and interesting. Most bakeries would look at u like your crazy but their eyes lit up! They were so excited to do something different. When the cake showed up the day of..it was beautiful and def. was the focal point of our wedding and something my guests will never forget. So I give them 5 out of 5. I never got to thank them so this is my way of doing it. Thank u guys so much and thank u for embracing our vision!

er ever post pictures before the wedding, it turns out it was our cake. The other issue was the look, we went with a simple cake with just ribbon wrapped around it. I could have made the ribbon look better!!! The lines were not straight and the ends of the ribbon met at a point so you could visibly see the ends. I was told it was due to the ribbon being too thick, but I feel they should have called me to correct the issue. Also, there was way more ribbon on it than what we had asked for. The owner was very nice when I called, but in the end we were only offered a $25 store credit. Not much of a break when we spent close to $500 on the cake. Overall I was disappointed, but I do have to say the cake tasted great!

l decision on what we wanted the cake to look like. We decided on a white cake with raspberry preserve and marzipan butter cream. The cake was so yummy that guests were having more than 1 slice. We were told by multiple guests that it was the best wedding cake they had ever had. Overall we were very happy with the cake! Thanks Pastry Garden!

incredibly satisfied with the number of options we had to choose from. My mom also ordered a cake for my bridal shower from the Pastry Garden and it was incredibly delicious and fresh. I will definitely continue using them for future occasions!

ome vanilla. They were both great.

ing that would work with the other two. Boy was she right! The combination of the cake itself and the three fillings was perfect. She was so easy to work with. We wanted a Penn State blue and white color scheme. She made sure that the right shade of blue was used. They nailed it. Very nice job!

tions, taking notes, and discussing design options. Pastry Garden was really professional, helpful, and provided us with a great wedding cake.

he display was also beautiful. Highly recommend.

Even better, the flavor of the cake was fantastic! Our guests all loved it! You won't be disappointed!!

ur cake. there's lots of photos you can look through when you sit down, and she encourages you to bring your own photos as well. I get the feeling there isn't much she can't do- but of course, lots of detail means lots of price ;)

e packaged them for us to take home!! They were all so good I had a hard time choosing! Def never a disappointing desert from here!
