With all of my wedding tasks, I hadn’t considered how far in advance I’d need to order a cake so I reached out to The Quintessential Cake quite last minute. They still happily agreed to create my dream wedding cake for me in shorter notice than usual and it came out exactly as I imagined! I found an image of a cake on instagram and was dead set on it the moment that I saw it and they made my vision come to life! I am so happy that I found this business and yes the cake was also very moist and delicious!

Looking back through our wedding photos and stumbled upon a photo of our cake — remembering I completely forgot to write a review!
If you are looking for someone to help you design your dream wedding cake, look no further! Whether you are looking for traditional or some thing unique and fun — Victoria will not disappoint. She was amazing to work with! From the moment I sent an email inquiry, she was quick to respond and we were able to schedule a consultation/cake tasting appointment. She walked us through all our options, colors, stencils, techniques, designs, etc. and then we got to my favorite part — the cake tasting! All I can say is YUM! You cannot go wrong with any of her flavor options.
For our big day, we chose Chocolate with Cookies & Cream Buttercream and Coffee with Bailey’s Buttercream. Both were so delicious, we couldn't pick a favorite!
After your first consultation visit, she will send you some design proofs so you can see exactly what your cake will look like. She works with you to ensure that your cake is exactly what you envisioned! And I promise you, when you see it on your wedding day, it is even more amazing than you could imagine!! 10/10 would recommend The Quintessential Cake!

Working with Victoria at The Quintessential Cake for my 10/29/2022 wedding was a great experience from start to finish! My husband and I first met with Victoria for a consultation and tasting to discuss our needs and our vision for the cake design, as well as sample her cake and filling options. Everything was so delicious, we had difficulty choosing our favorites! Once we had settled on the design and the cake/filling itself, the process was a breeze—Victoria is an excellent communicator and followed up with us for any necessary information as we got closer to the wedding day. On the day-of, Victoria arrived promptly with the cake and set it up beautifully with our topper. Everyone loved our cake and wished they could eat even more! Overall, I would highly recommend working with The Quintessential Cake for your wedding or special event.

I cannot recommend Victoria and The Quintessential Cake enough! Our cake looked perfect, exactly what I envisioned, and tasted absolutely delicious. Our guests were equally impressed as we received so many complements about how perfect the cake looked and that it was "the most delicious cake I've ever had". Victoria was wonderful to work with, transparent with pricing, and had an online portal that made contracts, payment plans, and communication about delivery easy. While her cakes obviously are worth it all on their own, the behind the scenes are equally a sell for me. After planning my own wedding and following up with various vendors constantly, Victoria was easy to communicate with and had everything all in one place. Would highly recommend!

Victoria was such a pleasure to work with. I could not decide on my design for such a long time, she really helped us to narrow down what we wanted and we ended up with a stunning cake! She also had amazing flavors to choose from and puree's that we included with our buttercream filling between the layers. I am a wedding planner myself and I highly recommend Quintessential Cake.

She was incredibly easy to work with, quick to respond, and flexible when I changed my mind completely on how I wanted the cake to look a few months before the big day. From the in studio tasting, the design process, payment, creation and delivery of the cake, the Quintessential Cake team was so wonderful to work with, I would highly recommend them!

I got married this year, and Victoria created a lovely cake (See picture) for our wedding. We were so pleased with it, and how it really was the center piece of the reception. We met with Victoria early last year, and discussed our vision. She was able to draw up a sketch for how it would look like. The tasting was beyond what we expected. We were impressed with all our options, and how it was all put together for us to try in her lovely studio. I didn't have a worry on my wedding day, and saw our wedding cake for the first time. Victoria was also able to place flowers from our florist on our wedding cake as requested. Make an inquiry for your dream wedding cake!

I would highly recommend Victoria and The Quintessential Cake to any couple looking for a wedding cake vendor! Victoria is a joy to work with, too! She is very understanding and patient as she worked with us and around our schedule as we had to postpone our original wedding date due to the pandemic. When we first met with Victoria, we had no idea what we wanted our wedding cake to look like and Victoria came up with a wonderful design for us that looked great on paper, but looked even better when it came to life! We were blown away when we walked into our reception hall and saw our cake for the first time. My husband and I were honestly both speechless as the cake looked stunning and absolutely flawless. To make matters even better, the cake tasted better than it looked! It was honestly the best wedding cake I have ever had before. My husband and I are SO glad we used Victoria and The Quintessential Cake for our wedding cake as it made our day even more special than we ever could have imagined it to be. To sum things up simply: High-quality business. High-quality design. High-quality cake!

Victoria is absolutely amazing! I cannot say enough good things about her. She was the sweetest vendor to work with and is very talented at baking and cake design. After our tasting and consultation, she sent us a 3D rendering of the design for approval. We cared a lot about our cake and she more than delivered. Our reception shrunk from 250 down to 25 people because of Covid and Victoria was very understanding and accommodating. She made a mini version of the cake we had originally planned for and we got endless compliments on how delicious it was!

We had to plan our wedding during lockdown which was a bit challenging but The Quintessential cake made it super easy. We had a consultation over Zoom where Victoria came up with our design and emailed us a beautiful sketch. We had an "At Home" cake tasting, which included 10 slices of cake and some macarons all beautifully presented and delivered to our door. We knew instantly we wanted to book her and were able to confirm everything and pay online. It could not have been easier which we really appreciated. The cake itself lived up to our expectations, both beautiful and delicious.

Our big dream wedding had to be downsized because of COVID, which was pretty stressful but The Quintessential Cake were fantastic. We had originally booked a 5 tier cake for 200 people, Victoria adjusted our cake design down to a much smaller cake for 50 and refunded us the difference in cost, without any fuss, penalties or extra fees (not all of our vendors were so obliging). She was awesome and made everything so easy. Our cake was still spectacular even though it was only small and it was the best chocolate cake we ever had, so delicious!

First of all I would just like to say that Victoria is such a pleasure to work with. she is wonderful. Victoria made sure are cake tasting was a special experience. She had water with lemon waiting and offered us coffee or tea. All of the cake choices were wonderful and made it difficult for us to choose! We decided to go with champagne cake with strawberry buttercream and strawberry compote. It was amazing! The cake was exactly what we ordered. The detailing was astounding. Victoria has perfected her craft and knows exactly how to make the cake you desire. It was amazingly beautiful and tasted just as beautiful as it looked. I had a ballet themed wedding so this cake was very specific and not an easy one to make! I had lace and beading and petals! If you want a great tasting and looking cake please go to Victoria! She is so sweet and will truly give you what you want with a smile!

The Quintesstial Cakes is hands down absolutely amazing. From the tasting to the day of our wedding- Victoria was always available to answer any questions and went above and beyond to deliver us our dream cake. Like many brides, I had my perfect cake in mind so I brought a photo to the tasting...crazy enough Victoria knew who the designer was, so I automatically felt at ease. To top off our detailed design, we wanted fall-flavored pie-like flavors like apple cinnamon and pecan pie...the works...the final product that Victoria made hit every single mark. The cake itself was perfectly delicious and moist and looked prettier than I would have ever imagined. AMAZING. Not to mention, she's a joy to work with.

Her store is beautiful and she was immediately able to capture our vision for our wedding cake. Not only was the cake stunning with so many delicacies, but it tasted out of this world!! We also did her famous macaroons as favors for the table, which were so delicious with charming colors. Thank you Victoria for making our day so special - you are a genius!!!!

I met Victoria at our venues vendor event, and we were able to try her cupcakes - and they were some of the best cupcakes we have ever had. Fast forward a year, and our big, dream wedding in May was affected by COVID-19. We decided to move forward with a small intimate ceremony with family so I reached out to Victoria, remembering how delicious her samples were, to see how she could help us. Victoria was not only extremely responsive, but she walked us through everything and set up a virtual meeting to start thinking about designs and flavors. From explaining my vision and colors of our original day, she drew up a sketch for a cake that was beautiful. Due to COVID, we also could not have a tasting so we described what flavors we enjoyed and she gave us a few suggestions. We decided to go with a 2-tier vanilla cake, white chocolate buttercream and raspberry preserves along with some mini cupcakes. When I picked up the cake it was absolutely beautiful! The detail that went into the design was incredible and everything, if not more, than what I imagined. And the most important part - it was so delicious. Her meringue buttercream is to die for. Everyone was raving about the cake and said it was one of the best wedding cakes they have had. We will absolutely use Victoria and quintessential cake in the future!

Her talent and eye sealed the deal for me. Our cake was beautiful and matched our teal & navy travel theme. I sent her a sketch and she brought it to life with perfection. She took extra care to match the colors too. I got so many compliments on it and it photographed beautifully. Check out her stuff yourself and prepare to fall in love!

Arranging a wedding from out of state brings its own set of challenges but Victoria made the cake ordering process so easy. She worked with us to fit us in for an appointment when we were in town visiting. The tasting was so relaxing and fun, a welcome respite from a busy weekend crammed full of appointments. We ordered on the spot! And when our wedding rolled around we were not disappointed. The cake was so pretty and tasted exactly like we remembered.

From our first enquiry to the delivery of our cake, Victoria made everything so simple yet all very professional. Our cake was delicious and beautiful, all our guests were oo'ing and ahh'ing over it. We were so happy we went with Victoria and will be returning for future celebrations!

Our wedding cake was everything I dreamed it would be, stunningly beautiful and utterly delicious. We had the coffee cake with Baileys and Carmel... OMG it was soooo good!

We had the most beautiful (and delicious) wedding cake I have ever seen, it was a work of art! Victoria is extremely talented! She took all the inspiration & design for our wedding and designed us a truly amazing masterpiece! She is easy to communicate and work with. If you have a budget she will work with you on it & respect it. We can't say enough good things about our experience.

Victoria created the most STUNNING wedding cake for our wedding day! It was beautiful, classic, and elegant and was exactly what I envisioned my wedding cake would look like. I wish The Knot would allow you to attach photos so future brides could see the detail and craftsmanship Victoria poured into our cake, which featured the most detailed BAS Relief design. Victoria is also just really lovely and pleasant to work with! She was considerate of our budget but also came up with several design options. In the end, we ended up paying more than what we initially planned on, only because the type of design we wanted was very labor intensive. However, we don't regret it one bit! Not only was the cake utterly DELICIOUS (our guests asked for seconds) but it was hands-down the most beautiful cake OF ALL TIME. Well, I may be bias, I am the bride ;). All in all, I highly recommend hiring Victoria for your special day! As for my husband and I, we will use The Quintessential Cake for all our future family/celebration/anniversary needs going forward!

Best chocolate and red velvet cake ever. OMG! Victoria is so talented, helpful, and artistic. My wedding cake came out fabulously AND tasted great. Even my husband whom is not a cake/sweet eater was amazed at the flavor and moistness of the cakes. My guests were blown away. Highly....highly recommend. Professional, prompt, overly friendly and reasonably priced.
