The cake was beautiful and delicious! Nancy was very responsive and worked with me to create the perfect cake. At one point I decided to ask for some hand-piping and Nancy said she would be happy to add it but also let me know that she had an e...
dible lace option that would be more within our budget. I appreciated her honesty and help in letting me make the best choices in ordering our cake.
Nancy has made two wedding cakes and one 50th anniversary cake for us. Aside from the cakes tasting amazing, Nancy does a beautiful job decorating them. A true cake artist.
Nancy was wonderful to work with and our cake was both delicious and stunning! Highly recommend.
We hired Nancy for our daughters wedding this past September, thought I had written a review but see that I have not.
Basically, I would NEVER recommend Nancy. We asked for a simple Birch cake for about 30 people for a small intimate wedding. ...
Upon delivery of our cake which came by taxi cab in a box dropped off at the front office which cost 90 dollars for delivery.
Upon opening the box the cake was PLAIN no flowers and the birch looked orange. I reached out to Nancy and she laughed and said, guess you should of spoken to your florist. She did not care at all that this was a special day and that we were left to scramble to ask our florist to come help us.
Nancy is very unprofessional and does not care at all about her clients. I realize our cake was small in comparison to other wedding cakes, but, that doesn’t make it less special if a day.
She is rude and lacks compassion. Good luck if you choice to hire her company!
Nancy with Top Tier was so great! After postponing my wedding in 2020, she stayed in communication with me – making feel at ease with everything going on. She really listened to my vision & and truly captured the look and feel of the cake desig...
n we imagined. PLUS, it tasted incredible! We got some many compliments on the cake being some of the best they’d ever had... Some people even tried all four flavors just so they could taste them all! Nancy was a joy to work with, she is super professional and extra friendly and understanding! My husband and I strongly suggest that if you are looking for someone to make you a cake for any reason, your choice should be Nancy! You will not regret it!

Hi Danni. It was my pleasure to bring your cake vision to life, and I'm so glad that you and your guests enjoyed it. Your design was challenging, which made it all the more enjoyable! All the best to you and Brandon.
Our cake was so pretty! I was simple with a white buttercream frosting that we had her put some flowers on for decor and the flavor was vanilla with raspberry filling which was delicious! We also got the treat buffet which I was too busy and di...
dn't get to eat any but I heard it was good! I would recommend getting more than you think of the treats, my mom said it looked a little sparse and there was not that many of each treat. Overall very happy with our cake, excited to each the top in a year!

Hi Annie. What a windy day it was for your wedding! As I was placing the flowers on your cake the favors and napkins kept blowing off of the table near me. I kept replacing them, but I suspect they escaped again after I left. Your cake was lov...
ely, and I'm delighted that you and your guests enjoyed it. I, too, felt that you should have had a larger Treat Buffet for your guest count, but I understand that there were budget constraints. May you and Chris have many, many wonderful years together.
Our wedding cake was delicious!!! It was pricey but our cake was beautiful and tasted so good! Top Tier communicated well with us and the cake was dropped off on time to our venue. I would recommend them!
We had Nancy do the cake for a wedding and it was absolutely beautiful. I also had her do a groomsman cake for our rehearsal dinner for my husband as well golf themed which turned out great as well! It was delicious and beautiful I would highly...

Thanks Alyssia, it was my pleasure to be part of your team. (I loved that you chose the gold and silver leaf accents for your unique and lovely cake.)
Nancy is AMAZING! I adored my wedding cake and it was definitely a favorite part of my wedding! She is a pleasure to work with. She is extremely detail orientated and is creative. The cake was beautiful and delicious. We can't wait to eat ...
it again on our one year anniversary. Not only does Nancy listen to what you are envisioning she also offers suggestions to make sure the cake ties in with the color scheme and decor of your wedding. Nancy is extremely talented and definitely will create a cake of your dreams!
After waiting 3 months on how to write this review, it breaks my heart that we are still upset and in shock how poorly our wedding dessert was handled by Nancy at Top Tier Cakery. Nancy was very confident during our tasting and showed us impec...
cable work. We were impressed with her cake design and variety of flavors. We ordered a two tier cake with an assortment of other desserts. The day before the wedding Nancy had texted me confirming what color cupcake holders we wanted, I was so excited for how our dessert was going to turn out, not realizing the disaster about to happen. On the day of the wedding 15 minutes after our dessert was supposed to be delivered my coordinator called her to ask if everything was okay. She said, "Oh that was today?". Yes, she forgot our wedding. The cake was delivered by her assistant 3 hours later right before the reception, the cake was LEANING and the icing was so sloppy you could see the cake layers showing through. It looked nothing like what we asked for. Our coordinator was amazing and did her best to fix everything but she felt awful by how unfinished the cake looked. As her "apology" Nancy had given us a few extra cake pops. We assumed we would hear from Nancy and get an apology, no response. We reached out to her and were respectful and understanding that mistakes happen, we just wanted a simple apology and explanation of what happened. Nancy's responses blamed everyone but herself and she took no responsibility. I could not believe how unprofessional she was for being a wedding vendor. She finally admitted it was not her best work and she was a human that made mistakes. As her "refund" for not doing her best work, she gave us $72 in return and couldn't do any more because of what she had to spend on supplies for the extra cake pops she made as her apology. That's $72 for over $1000 we spent for a leaning sloppy cake and desserts. What a slap in the face. As her finishing statement in one of her emails, she stated, "beauty is in the eye the beholder". Well Nancy, beauty certainly wasn't in your eye that day.
Response from the Vendor on 10/28/2019
My, my, my this is so full of fallacies. Actually, the only true comment is that the paperwork for this order had slipped in with those that were the following day -- something that I immediately and honestly took full responsibility for when t...
he coordinator called. (We have since added an extra layer of double-checking to our procedure to ensure that this never happens again.) When the coordinator called we were just finishing this order, and my senior assistant left for the delivery shortly after. She arrived onsite one hour after the call (not 3), and she had the entire table set and lovely (we have pictures) well over an hour before any guests arrived. We know this because she and her assistant then had dinner at the adjoining restaurant in full view of the reception site. The bride provided a cake stand that was too small, and on review of the photos I could see that one of the supporting feet under the cake had slipped off the edge, thus causing the cake to have a "leaning" appearance; no cake was showing through! She also chose tier sizes that are unattractive -- tall 8 on a tall 10 -- but that's what she wanted., as was the "sloppy" style of textured buttercream. Unfortunately, we can't be responsible for anything the coordinator did after we left. Still, I gave this bride a full refund for the top tier that she insisted was unacceptable. We left extra cake pops and other treats as a goodwill gesture, and of course did not charge for any of them.
We can’t say enough positive things about Nancy from Top Tier and the incredible care and attention to detail she put into our wedding cake. From the very beginning, it was easy to see the unmatchable experience, skill, and dedication she bring...
s to everything she touches. The hardest part about the process was actually choosing what we want because she is willing to make absolutely anything you envision, and you KNOW she is going to totally knock whatever you throw her way out of the park. Also, every single cake and filling we tasted, we loved…so it was extremely difficult to whittle it down to three flavor combinations (due to our small wedding size). On top of everything, she made a succulent for our cake that was unbelievably realistic. Her workmanship is absolutely outstanding, and she makes the most memorable cakes. If you want a flawlessly beautiful and delicious treat, go to Top Tier Cakery!
I could not say enough good things about Nancy and our experience with Top Tier Cakery! We had a great time at the cake tasting and felt like Nancy did a great job of guiding us through the process. We ordered a two-tier cake with lavender ombr...
e and 100 cupcakes (5 different flavors). My husband had a very specific flavor that he wanted (dark chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting) and Nancy made sure to put a cupcake directly on our sweetheart table so that he got his cake! Nancy was very thoughtful throughout the whole process and made sure everything was perfect! She really knows her cake and it showed :) We left the venue with very little leftovers because everyone loved the cake so much!
Top Tier Cakery created an even more beautiful cake than I had envisioned for my wedding day. The cake was not only gorgeous but tasted delicious as well! Nancy was such a joy to work with and was so helpful in getting the design just as I want...
ed. The detail on the cake was amazing, the sugar flowers looked so real and the entire cake was a true piece of art. She also offered to lend me a cake base that went so perfectly with my cake and entire theme for the wedding. She was so thoughtful and responsive throughout the entire process, which made the wedding cake the least stressful and most exciting part of my wedding.

thwatering flavors! I take one star off only because we tried to downsize to a smaller cake during the process and it only changed the price by $21. We stuck with the larger cake but ended up going home with a decent amount of cake. Not a problem for a cake lover but for a quite expensive cake, it would’ve been nice to have a smaller cake and saved more money here. Nancy was a delight to work with! Highly recommend her work.
Cake was delicious and beautiful. I would not recommend if you want anything super specific as she can be a handful. If you don't care too much about your cake like myself, she is great. A little pricey. You taste her cake on the first meeting ...
and have to pay for another cake tasting. I would recommend letting her know what kind of cake you would like so you can possibly taste that kind at the meeting.
Response from the Vendor on 10/18/2018
Hi Molly -- I re-read all of our communication, and everything was positive and upbeat from both of us. I truly have no idea what you're referring to about "anything super specific" since custom cakes are our specialty! You requested a 3-tier ...

Nancy signs all of her notes ‘sweetly’ & let me reassure you that the cake tasting, cake selection and the final result of all of that is nothing short of sweet. Nancy is comforting and confident. It was truly a pleasure working with such a won...

he cake taste amazing, but it looked beautiful. Nancy even went as far as to make sugar succulents, and you would have had no idea they weren't real! So many guests went up to the cake to look at it, and commented on how beautiful it was. She even got me, a non-cake eater, to not only eat, but LOVE a cake, and that is saying a lot for me. Nancy will make your dream cake a reality. If you want a stunning cake that tastes as good as it looks, look no further than Nancy. She is the best!

Nancy is a dream! She does such amazing work. Our cake was spectacular and everything that we hoped it would be. We would use her again in a heartbeat!

Also, we chose carrot cake as the majority as it is a family tradition, and this is hard to make for top layers... Nancy was able to do this for us. She will work with you to make sure your cake is what you really want.
Nancy was very professional and friendly to work with - we'll never forget what she made for us! We can't wait to eat the top tier of our wedding cake in a year!
Response from the Vendor on 11/13/2017

Thank you for your kind words. You are an adorable couple and it was an honor to make your beautiful cake for you. May you have many, many wonderful years together.
Nancy is an absolute cake magician! From the time we contacted her to the, tasting, to when the cake was delivered at our reception, Nancy blew us away with her professionalism and artistry. Not only are her cakes delicious, but they are simply...
works of art. I wish I could get married all over again just to have her make us another cake!
Nancy was so wonderful to work with. We were planning our wedding out of state so we were concerned about communication and conveying our vision accurately and Nancy put all of our concerns at ease. She was always very prompt with her email r...
esponses and answered our questions thoroughly. We met with her for our tasting about a month before our wedding and she had a wonderful assortment of frosting flavors and cake for us to try. We wanted cupcakes for our wedding and Nancy helped us come up with the perfect combination of flavors. We also ordered a handful of vegan cupcakes to accommodate some of our guests and they turned out wonderful. Everything we ordered tasted delicious and it was set up beautifully. I would recommend Top Tier Cakery again and again.
Working with Nancy was absolutely amazing! My previous plan for our wedding cake fell through, so with only about eight weeks before the wedding, I was freaking out about finding someone to do our cake. I emailed Nancy an inquiry and she respon...
ded within 5 minutes! We set up a tasting for that same day, and I was blown away by her presentation of the cake (with antique dishware) and by the taste of the cake! I am pretty picky about frosting and fondont (I hate the chemically-tasting store-bought stuff), and Nancy's frosting and fondont was the best I ever tasted! After seeing the limited design cabalities of other local bakers, I was leary of trusting that any bakers could make the beautiful cakes that you see on Pinterest, so I was planning on going with a very simple design. After seeing the cakes that Nancy had in her bakery and pictures of other cakes that she has made in her portfolios (which were stunning!), I was convinced that I could trust her to make a more complicated design. We ended up designing the whole cake, she gave me an estimated quote, which I thought was reasonable for how great the cake was and for a design that I'm sure most bakers wouldn't be able to pull off, and we decided to book! I went from being super stressed out about our cake to being so incredbily excited that we would have an amazing cake at our wedding--in one day! The cake was everything we hoped it would be, and nearly all of it was gone by the end of the night, with many guests, including myself, getting seconds. I was very happy that there was at least a little bit leftover though, because my husband and I got to enjoy it the next day. My husband and I have already resolved to go back to Nancy if we ever need a cake for another event!
Wow!! Our cake was amazing and not only was it beautiful but it was delicious. Nancy, from Top Tier, was so great to work with...we even changed our design and she was so happy to oblige and go with our changes.
We had a ski/mountain/wint...
er cake and gave her a general idea of what we wanted then we just left it up to her creativity and artistry...definitely an amazing product....our cake even lit up!! Our guests "oohed" and "ahhed" as much as we did.
The fondant was so yummy, I could've eaten that alone...but the flavors/fillings of our cake levels were on point: lemon/lemon, white raspberry, chocolate/chocolate, champagne/strawberry. We had several guests comment that they are not normal sweet/cake eaters but they loved this cake. The frosting was not gritty or too sugary...the flavors shined...perfect.
After our tasting and flavor selection l, we decided to order a cake that would feed 170 vs just the 60 guests we had coming to our small wedding...this way our guests truly got to have good size cake slices and experience the yummy bliss that was Nancy and Top Tier.
PS: we are our saved top layer within 1 week of our wedding...we couldn't keep it any longer because it was just too good!! But it did freeze well if you can wait...bet you can't either!
Nancy is amazing!!! Our cake was exactly what we asked for. It looked gorgeous and our guests could not stop talking about how great the cake tasted. I recommend Top Tier Cakery to anyone looking for a top of the line cake experience!
Nancy was one of the best vendor decisions we made for our wedding. Clearly, she is passionate about her work - she has set up a small bakery as an extension of her home (trust Google maps!) and is an expert on all things iced and baked. We req...
uested a small, 7” cake, and 200 cupcakes. Day-of, they were delivered, set up, and looked spectacular. The sugar flowers required a sign informing guests that they were, in fact, fake.
I also wanted to surprise my groom with a cake for our rehearsal dinner. Nancy exceeded my expectations with every detail. I had requested a “travel/hobby” themed cake and ended up with a suitcase, parachute, passport, swim flippers, and our couple motto, “You, me & the world”. It was perfect (and delicious - bourbon chocolate cake for my porter-loving husband)!
I highly recommend Top Tier Cakery - Nancy is nothing short of incredible!
Our wedding cake was beyond what we could have dreamed of! We showed Nancy a few photos of cakes with wavy ribbon-like icing and an ombre effect... what she created was so much more beautiful! We live in New York, but got to meet her six mont...
hs before our wedding to have a tasting. We had a four tiered cake and were so excited when she informed us that each tier could be a different flavor. And each of the flavors was delicious! She even had us send her a paint chip card of the colors we wanted for the icing and worked with our florist to make sure that they colors we wanted would match perfectly with the flowers that would adorn the cake. While I barely remember eating dinner, I made it my quest to taste every flavor of cake at my wedding - and I did! And they were perfect!

Nancy’s childhood on her family farm was filled with her mother’s daily-baked pies, breads and cookies. Fresh eggs, butter, milk, fruits, and vegetables were in constant supply. It set the standard for her approach to food: it MUST be high quality, delicious and look wonderful. A love of cooking and baking followed, with a focus on desserts. Nancy’s passion for cake decorating has allowed her to form amazing friendships with many of the world's most esteemed cake designers. One of Nancy’s greatest joys is to see the delight that her cakes bring to people by "baking their dreams come true".
