The cake and desserts were both excellent. Our guests loved the assortment and said they were delicious.
We had an amazing experience working with The Pastry Garden! The cake was absolutely delicious and looked beautiful! We went with a red velvet with cream cheese icing as the filling. They were so sweet and easy to work with, and the tasting was a fun little afternoon during our planning process.
Extremely kind and communicative. The cake was gorgeous and incredibly delicious! In fact, were still eating it!!!
We booked with a venue who works with Pastry Garden and they did not disappoint. The cake tasting was a fun and helpful experience. The staff made it very easy to pick out flavors, colors and decorations. They really helped bring our vision to life. The cake was beautiful and delicious!
We worked with a venue that includes a cake from Pastry Garden in their package and we were thrilled with the cake! We loved the tasting and got to try multiple flavors of cake and filling combinations. Pastry Garden made it a breeze to choose the ultimate combination and design. On our wedding day, the cake was delicious and so beautiful.
We ordered a gluten-free cake for our wedding day. It was SO good. You could NOT tell it was gluten-free. It was so good that my husband and I finished it on the dance floor after the cake cutting. LOL. We highly recommend Pastry Garden.
This was the bakery that our venue worked with but we could not have been happier. We had our main cake as well as a special top tier just for the groom and they executed it perfectly in both appearance and taste! The inspiration picture I gave them was matched to a T, I could not have asked for a better result. AND the cake was delicious, exactly what we asked for. Amazing!
We got married at The Garrison and our wedding cake from The Pastry Garden was included in our package. We couldn't have been happier with how beautiful the cake looked and how amazing it tasted. Our tasting at The Pastry Garden was so much fun and the staff helped us to pick the perfect design.
The Pastry Garden needs to take accountability with how their employees treat and disrespect their customers. My husband left this very heartfelt review and it was dismissed and hidden. Nobody responded with our very serious concerns. If they do this again, we will request to talk to the manager to make sure this is addressed and we get an apology as a lot of the comments made by the employee were very hurtful even a year later. Here was the original review that was left by my husband:
“The Pastry Garden made our wedding cake for our October wedding. Our 3-layer red velvet cake was incredibly delicious and gorgeous! The cream wasn't too heavy either and didn't make anyone feel too weighed down to dance. We couldn't ask for a more skilled team!
However, the cake tasting we had a few months prior to our wedding is the primary reason for the low rating. While the cakes we tasted were truly delicious, the person assisting us was just as distasteful and hurtful as their cakes were good. Completely unprovoked, during the tasting after I complimented her on her technological knowledge, she made an ugly comment about Gen-Z kids and young adults, stating they're the dumbest generation. She then went on to make several homophobic and transphobic remarks, all the while I'm trying to shut her down and steer the conversation back to something more cordial and appropriate. She also claimed some wild political views, like how teachers make too much money in the U.S. This was not the right time nor place to make any political statements, nor is it ever ok to be transphobic or homophobic.
I'm not sure if this woman was the owner or just a manager, but this is a public post -- they can look up my name in their database and see who assisted me that day. Regardless, it was someone with seemingly high authoritative power in the store based on how she talked to the employees behind the counter. This experience completely ruined my day after a 2-hour drive to the bakery. The only reason I went through with the order was because I thought the wedding venue I chose already paid $500 to this bakery as a voucher for my cake, which I would lose if I went elsewhere. I should have asked my venue about this, but found out after the wedding the voucher was not locked in, and I could have taken it to a different bakery.
Don't make the same mistake we did. Do not support businesses which employ people with harmful and dangerous views like this. Go find a bakery with great cakes which promote community and the betterment of everyone.”
We were required to go with The Pastry Garden by our venue (The Garrison), but we could not be happier! The design was beautiful and elegant, exactly what we wanted. We went with white cake with chocolate and strawberry mousse for filling with buttercream frosting, and it was really delicious--moist and not too sweet, and so many guests told us they loved it!
We ordered mini-pastries from Pastry Garden and they were fantastic! We had so many guests compliment the chocolate cake truffles (which were gluten free). We were glad to have a lot of the options be gluten free as well!
We were recommended The Pastry Garden by our wedding venue. We were able to make an appointment in the same week that we called. We tried a few flavors and there were all so good! The buttercream was so delicious. We got some helpful advice on how we might decorate our cake. My husband and I were unsure what we wanted, but thankfully we were able to send emails with inspiration photos and discuss the designs. Everything was simple and not stressful at all. Thank you so much for a beautiful cake to match my beautiful day.
The Pastry Garden Bakery was stellar to work with! They were flexible in optionality during our tasting and executed well a design that met our vision. We went with a chocolate marble cake with strawberry preserve and it was absolutely delicious! Our guests loved it and we did too. Couldn’t recommend them enough!
The Pastry Garden was our designated cake vendor and they did not disappoint! Not only was the cake delicious, but it was also stunning. We did our tasting with the owner, who could not have been nicer. Would highly recommend working with them!
We got our Wedding cake from The Pastry Garden for our December 2023 Wedding! The were truly lovely to work with. The Pastry Garden made an amazing, beautiful and delicious wedding cake for our day! I had so many guests come up to me and rave about our delicious the wedding cake was! Thank you to The Pastry Garden for an amazing cake!
The Pastry Garden nailed the cake design we were looking for. It was beautiful, elegant, and most importantly, delicious. Since we had a summer wedding, we decided to do things a little differently, and went with lemon. It did not disappoint. I would absolutely use them again (oh wait I have!). Highly recommend... thanks so much!
They provided a sweetheart cake and cupcakes for our November 16th, 2023 wedding. The whole process was very simple and the person I talked to on the phone was very pleasant and helpful. On the day of, the cake and cupcakes all looked amazing and exactly like we wanted and were also super tasty!
From the tasting to the presentation of our cake the day of, The Pastry Garden does everything right. We had so much fun choosing a unique cake flavor profile (spice cake with white chocolate mousse) and the design I envisioned came to life perfectly. I can't wait to get more baked goods from them.
My husband and I got our cake from the Pastry Garden Bakery for our wedding. Stephanie, the owner of this bakery, is a true gem. She is so kind and accommodating! I have a dairy allergy and she made sure that all of our tastings would be dairy free. For our wedding day- we had a small separate dairy free cake along with our standard cake and both my husband and I LOVED the cake. Not only was it beautiful but it was absolutely delicious. Thank you Pastry Garden, and Stephanie, for making our wedding cake dreams come true! (: You are incredible!
We had a great experience getting our wedding cake here! Our venue was contracted with The Pastry Garden and we were really glad they were. They made it easy to make an appointment for a tasting and choose the flavors we wanted beforehand, which they had prepared when we came in. We ended up going with a vanilla cake with lemon preserves because it was SO refreshing. We got so many compliments on the cake from our guests. Looked absolutely beautiful too!
This bakery is professional and they love what they do there products shows. We got our wedding cake here. It was amazing. The cake looked beautiful and the icing and filling and the cake it’s self tasted amazing.
So so happy to have used pastry garden for our wedding cake!! We got to meet with them, taste 4 different combinations of cakes and frostings and share pictures of what we wanted for our cake. I’m attaching a picture of a one layer cake that we used for inspiration and then attaching our wedding cake picture. Such a great match, with everything that I wanted. It was so perfect!! They took care of everything day of- bringing it to the venue and having it set up, we had nothing to worry about and I would recommend them to anyone!
The Pastry Garden created the most beautiful cake for our wedding day! We went in for a tasting and design session a few months before getting married and it was a really seamless and easy process. We showed pictures of what we liked and were able to try 3 different AMAZING samples! They confirmed multiple times between then and the wedding that the cake would be delivered on time. When I saw the cake on the day of the wedding, I almost cried at how perfect it was! It really was a dream come true. The design was perfect and it tasted even better than I remember at the tasting. All of the guests were raving about it and I can't wait to have the rest on our year anniversary!
Created our dream cake!
They bought my drawing to life! Cake was flawless and delicious!! Thank you!!!
We were so pleased with The Pastry Garden for our wedding cake! Not only did it look beautiful, but it also tasted absolutely delicious. The flavor we decided on was a lemon cake with raspberry and champagne mousse, and it was a hit with all of our guests. The staff were very easy to work with and provided a great tasting experience. They were very accommodating and willing to work with us to create the perfect cake for our special day. We would highly recommend The Pastry Garden to any couple looking for a delicious and beautiful cake for their wedding!
Pastry garden made my cake for my 11/5/22 wedding and it was everything I had wanted and more! I went in with a picture from Pinterest and they went above and beyond to make my dream cake happen. The lace decoration was EXACTLY aa it was in the picture!
Not only was the cake stunning, but it tastes amazing! We had marble cake with layers of vanilla custard and chocolate buttercream. It was the most delicious wedding cake!
Pastry Garden did an amaizing job on our wedding cake! We had white cake with lemon filling. It was delicious and our guests loved it. We wanted our hulk action figure attached at the top in a King Kong way and they did it perfectly!
Our cake was absolutely beautiful! Stephanie and her team did a wonderful job. We chose a marble cake with buttercream frosting and cookie dough mousse. It was delicious and all of our guests complimented it as well! Thank you, Pastry Garden!
The Pastry Garden made our wedding cake. Tasting and selection was delicious and professional, and the cake was absolutely scrumptious. Many complements. Would highly recommend. (also, they have the best cannolis in the area...)
Our wedding cake was SO delicious and the Pastry Garden was a pleasure to work with. So kind and accommodating. We worked with Stephanie and she was so sweet. We went with a chocolate cake with chocolate butter cream icing and espresso filling. It was extraordinary! The best wedding cake I have EVER had!
Our wedding cake from The Pastry Garden was absolutely beautiful and delicious! The process of choosing them, going to our tasting, and the delivery for the big day so was professional and easy. I could not recommend The Pastry Garden more!!
We loved our cake!!! Thank you Pastry Garden!
Above the rest! We had our wedding cake done by Pastry Garden as part of our package through The Garrison, and it was so tasty! We chose a vanilla custard with raspberry mousse and vanilla cake / vanilla frosting. Not only was it delicious, it was such a beautiful / classy piece of art! The customer service at this bakery is also above the rest - highly recommend!
Incredible, beautiful, and delicious cake four our wedding. It was SO big that we kept eating it for days and days after! Highly recommend!
What a delicious cake we had for our wedding! The Pastry Garden is a preferred vendor of our venue Interlaken Inn. We chose a chocolate cake with raspberry preserves and raspberry mousse! It was AMAZING. Thank you so much. And to the lovely owner, Stephanie, thank you so much for your kindness. Thinking of you and hoping you are doing well and watering the flowers <3
Our cake was absolutely delicious! Everyone ate cake! It was decorated beautifully!
Delicious!! We ordered the lemon cake with the white chocolate filling! The lemon flavor was the perfect hint of lemon. The white chocolate mousse wasn't too sweet and the perfect creamy texture. They told us that most couples usually eat their 1st year anniversary cake before the the anniversary because the cakes are so good! I think if we save half it still counts right? 😁
Our wedding cake was everything we dreamed of — beautiful and delicious! The style and substance is all thanks to The Pastry Garden. Our tasting was a breeze and when I called to ask if they could make cookie platters as wedding favors, they were happy to accommodate. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Our wedding cake was beautiful and delicious! Our wedding colors were three shades of blue and The Pastry Garden matched the buttercream flowers on our cake perfectly! The process for sampling the cake was simple and convenient. They had our samples ready to go when we arrived. My husband and I are both chocolate lovers. We went with the chocolate cake with fudge filling and vanilla icing. It was so good! The cake looked gorgeous – we almost didn’t want to cut into it! We highly recommend The Pastry Garden!
We got our wedding cake from the Pastry Garden (they work with our wedding venue, The Garrison) and it was SO delicious! We had a marble cake with chocolate mousse and vanilla custard filling with buttercream frosting. We also decided to add assorted cookies for a small cookie buffet at our wedding and it was a hit! Mary was especially helpful with setting that up. Through our venue, the Pastry Garden handled delivery so there was nothing we had to do to coordinate. Would recommend!
We got our wedding cake from pasty garden and it was amazing. We did a peekaboo cake and it was better than we could of imagined. Will definitely use them again.
Made a breathtakingly beautiful cake. loved the champagne mouse. Thank you for everything.
Although we never directly met with anyone specific, as our cake was included via our venue (F.E.A.S.T. at Round Hill), it sure was delicious! We had a three-tier cake with ivory buttercream, marble cake, and vanilla custard frosting and it was incredible. Honestly, I usually am not a huge fan of wedding cake, and this was legit one of the best I’ve had (there may be some bias, but not much)!
The Pastry Garden was super easy to work with. The tasting was thorough and the cake was delicious! We would recommend them to everyone!
Our cake for our wedding at FEAST was made by The Pastry Garden and they deserve a fantastic review! We decided to go with the Red Velvet cake. We received so many compliments from our guests about the cake. We had some leftovers and I was NOT complaining eating it over next week after our wedding. Thank you!
I can not say enough nice things about the Pastry Garden and their staff! Our cake was included in a package for our venue, and from our initial contact with the Pastry Garden, they could not have been nicer or more accommodating. I probably asked a million questions and they were so kind and patient. Prior to COVID, we had a tasting scheduled but I came down with the flu so they worked with us in finding a time for my (now) husband to pick up the samples so we could try them from home. They nailed the design I was looking for and worked seamlessly to coordinate the day-of delivery to our postponed wedding. And of course, the cake was DELICIOUS!! Thank you SO much!!
Delicious!! Our wedding cake was amazing all our guests were complimenting and asking where we got our cake!
As part of our package with Le Chambord we received a wedding cake from Pastry Garden and we were so excited as they have been a staple in my husbands family for special occasions for years. Our consultation was super smooth and they really accommodated our requests and made suggestions that we hadn’t thought of. We were looking for something pretty simple and they did a perfect job on the design. The cake itself was absolutely delicious; get the white chocolate mousse, it’s to die for! They were amazing, highly recommend them for anything not just weddings!
We had a great experience with The Pastry Garden for our Wedding Cake. We were able to go in for a tasting and try a variety of different cakes, fillings, and frosting. They gave us suggestions and allowed us to try different pairings until we found the perfect one. We also got to bring all the samples home so we had plenty of cake! They were able to create any cake you could imagine and had multiple photo albums of cakes they’ve done to help give you ideas and inspiration. Our cake was beautiful for our wedding day and exactly as we imagined. It had some bling and tasted delicious. We even had baileys mousse in ours! Would absolutely recommend.
We had a cake by the pastry garden at our wedding last night and it was INCREDIBLE. they really made our vision come to life and it tasted amazing. We also ordered vegan cupcakes for our non-dairy people and they couldn’t stop talking about how amazing they were. Thank you so much for everything!
My husband and I are not cake people. However, we could not believe how tasty and mouth watering our wedding cake turned out to be. It was one of the few cakes that literally we left nothing on the plate. The ingredients are fresh and delicious. It came as part of our package with our venue, the Feast at Roundhill. We had vanilla cake, vanilla buttercream, and strawberries. Our guests keep raving about the cake a week later.
They did a great job!
We loved our wedding cake! The white cake with lemon filling was a hit with all of our guests. The cake looked beautiful!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my wedding cake from Thw Pastry Garden Bakery!! Selecting our cake was super easy. The design of the cake was perfection and it tasted delicious!! Our guests loved it and we loved it even more!!
We ordered our wedding cake and wedding cupcakes from The Pastry Garden, and they were so delicious that our guests were raving about the desert for weeks after our wedding! The team at The Pastry Garden was so great to work with, and even accommodated us by using the cupcake liners we had sent in to go with the rest of our wedding decor! We received our 1-year anniversary cake a week before our anniversary and it was just as delicious as we remembered it to be on our wedding day!
When we went for our tasting things were a bit chaotic and somewhat unprofessional (the woman working with us was making comments and judging the choices we had made for our wedding) the cake was delicious though! The cake on the day of was not quite as good... but it was also a completely different looking cake than why we asked for. Luckily it was still pink, but it was very precise and linear instead of rustic and soft and it was hot pink instead of pastel. Good not great.
The Pastry Garden did an amazing job with our wedding cake. Everyone loved it, simply beautiful and delicious. Spice cake, with cinnamon pumpkin mousse and cream cheese frosting... AMAZING for our October wedding.
Pastry Garden was AMAZING! We were provided their contact information from our venue as the cake was included in the cost of our event and we are so happy we went with them! We schedule the tasting appointment over the phone and pre-ordered the samples we were interested in tasting. Our tasting a great experience with the owner Stephanie, who provided a fun environment while telling us about how she got started in the wedding cake industry. We chose to upgrade from our included cake to one with an espresso mousse - and it was so worth it! The cake was simple yet delicious and beautiful! There we NO leftovers either :-( everyone loved it. Thankfully they provide an extra topper for our 1st anniversary and we cant wait to break it open! I would highly recommend Pastry Garden to any couple in the area. Thank you again for the lovely cake and awesome experience! We will be back for other occasions!
The cake that this bakery made for my wedding this past weekend was delectable. On top of that, it was gorgeous! The tasting the Pastry Garden offered was great and they give a good size sample. They put fresh flowers on the cake for us, from the florist! It was absolutely gorgeous and delicious.
