Yia Yia's Bakery

at Yia Yia’s was wonderful! No stress about planning or delivery, everything was so easy. And the price was excellent! Compared to other bakeries in the area, Yia Yia’s was by far the best deal and the best quality!

e we used to live near them and loved their pastries. But I was still incredibly happy with how everything turned out for our wedding.

ur selection and updating the order when our guest count gradually changed. Multiple people commented that the cake was the best wedding cake they ever had. We also ordered a cake for a welcome event that we had the day before and there was no leftover!

to make us happy and make our vision come to life. When we got our cake on our wedding day, it was everything and more than I hoped. It was beautiful and exactly what we envisioned. We 100% recommend Yia' Yia's Bakery to anyone looking for a tasty dessert.

our cake gorgeous, it was so delicious! I can't wait to eat our red velvet for our anniversary :)

so there was balance and nothing was too sweet or bland. We showed her our dream cake on Pinterest and she and her team made it happen! We also had cupcakes for guests and the guests raved about the coffee flavored cupcakes. It's a great alternative to serving coffee at the end of the reception.

ify any misunderstandings along the way to make sure that we were on the same page. We loved the look of our cake and REALLY loved the taste. We got a lot of compliments from our guests. We would easily recommend Yia Yia’s for wedding cake. Unfortunately we do not have a photo of it (yet), but if they have one, they are welcome to share it!

ided other sweets. It was delicious! We tried other bakers and the cake was much tastier here. My husband enjoyed the cake as well and he self-proclaims he is not a "cake person". Due to COVID we were not able to meet in person with the baker. Instead I picked up tasting slices of different flavors and brought it home and my husband and I had a private tasting in our home! We also enjoyed working with this bakery because they were willing to deliver the cake to the venue (they are located in Baltimore County and our venue was in Cecil). They delivered on time. Thanks for the yummyness YiaYia's!

t needs to be right, and Yia Yia's pulled through! I have also stopped in for their pastries and other stuff and it's the best i've had.

h adding in our wedding colors of silver and sapphire blue. They delivered and took care of everything. I didn't have to worry at all on the big day. Highly recommend!

where else! Nicole was very helpful and talked us through what we wanted. We ended up getting 3 different flavors for each layer of our cake because we couldn't choose just one favorite! Everyone absolutely loved the cake and we can't wait to enjoy our delicious top layer on our anniversary!

rs with 2 flavor combinations. I had found some ideas on Pinterest for the actual decoration component of the cake and YiaYias mirrored the picture I showed them perfectly. Everyone who had the cake loved it!! They took the stress of the cake off of our hands and I could not be happier

ld! All of our guests raved about them! Our cake was beautifully decorated! We were so excited to see that our vision of what we wanted our cake to look like turned out perfect! They were very accommodating as well with the few additions and changes we made throughout the process, and they were very helpful when suggesting flavor combinations and what would look best based on our venue lighting! Would recommend them if you want an cake that is everything you imagined and incredibly delicious!

and wonderful, and exactly what we hoped for. There were a few extra cupcakes left after the wedding and I’m so glad there were, because the Swiss buttercream icing is divine!!!

ng my mind on how I wanted the wedding cake decorated about a month before the wedding and Andrea willingly met with me again to plan the new design. We ended up with a cake that was bigger than needed for our guest count but since the cake was so good I wan't upset about having leftovers!

ly recommend!

ling and helping to execute this flawless confection! Will definitely use Yia Yia's in the future and will definitely recommend them to anyone for their delicious baked goods!

didn't want fondant, we still tried a sample to see how their's tasted. They also called the week before to make sure the design/flavors were still the same and confirm our head count. I had people coming up to me about how wonderful the cake tasted. Would work with again!

f the cake was completely smashed. Mortified, I called and spoke with the wedding consultant that had been assisting me in the entire process to see if we can pick up a replacement. Andrea was so kind, helpful and accommodating when I spoke with her and she even joked that because of the type of filling that we had ordered it would have tasted awful if frozen and thawed out a year later. She advised me to call when my anniversary was close to place a new order. So fast forward and our one year anniversary is coming up. I sent an email to Andrea and asked if I could place the order for the new top of the cake and that we wanted the same exact specs. Never once in that email did I state that I wanted anything FREE. However this is the response I received: Hi , We provided you with your free anniversary tier ON your wedding cake... We do not offer free cakes on your anniversary. If you just wanted to order a fresh cake, this would not be through the wedding cake department. This would be through the front counter staff here at the bakery. As far as pricing goes, I am unaware, as I only sell our wedding cakes, but I can tell you that they require all cakes to be ordered in person. As much as I would love to be of further assistance, on top of my hands being full this time of year [stated that she was home dealing with personal family issues]. Later that day I called the bakery to speak with the manager Stacy. She went on to telling me that maybe Andrea misunderstood my email and began vouching for Andrea's character as if I was saying she was a horrible person. While speaking with Stacy, I even told her that Andrea mentioned that she was out tending to her sick son and I understand that as a mother, but I also did not deserve her less than friendly response especially since I was only following her instruction from the previous year. I only stated that I was dissatisfied with her response. I have decided to get my cake from another bakery. I have NO problem paying for a service, but what I will not do is pay a business that has no concept of what it means to have customer service. I am very disappointed with Yia Yia's customer service on the overall.

ision and it was spot on. Andrea and this bakery were SUPER easy to work with and the most affordable wedding cake bakery we could find for this quality of work. Now…on to the cake. It’s to die for. We had a 4 layer cake (with an extra 6 inch back-up cake) and we had 3 different flavors. This cake was absolutely delicious, and we could tell our guests agreed as all of the cake was eaten…and quickly! 10 out of 10 for Yia Yia’s Bakery! Angie and Jimi

ted delicious!

thing perfect!

rest on our anniversary in a year :) Thank you, Yia Yia's!

to one another's face and heard that everyone loved how it tasted! We cannot wait for our first anniversary to share the top!

! I didn't get to sample the chocolate w/chocolate moose & strawberry one...but our other with the Bavarian Creme & Chocolate Genache...was fantastic! Everyone raved about how good it was...we were all thrilled and so happy with the final master piece! Thank you so much! Aphy & Art Liebno

design tastes meshed so well. There were so many delicious flavors to choose from, it was hard to narrow down! Luckily, we were allowed to select 3 flavors! We received so many compliments on our wedding cake & we couldn't have imagined working with anyone else! A++++

om our invitation. The wedding sales woman we dealed with was very knowledgeable. However, I was disappointed when I could not speak to the cake designer directly -- Oh they are too busy, she exclaimed. As my finance joked in the car ride home "What are they also curing cancer?" We were also not able to get a prototype of the cupcakes -- even if we paid. We just don't do that. Finally, we had to make a special trip out to have a discussion about the design. According to the salesperson, it was just too difficult to explain over the phone. It was not. The needed to use fundant to create a clean line from the strips to work. We wasted about 1.5 hours to have that 3 minute conversation. However, we loved the final product and our guests raved.

top tier on our one year anniversary.

to preserve the top layer of the cake for our 1-year anniversary (I would've just put the whole box in the freezer, but there is actually a several-step process). Although this may seem like a small or unimportant detail to some, I think it demonstrates Yia Yia's attention to detail and a high level of customer care. Visiting Yia Yia's bakery for the cake tasting was a great find - it is one of the most authentic bakeries that I've found in the Baltimore area and will definitely be visiting them in the future!

nd picture of it in to our taste testing, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they would do this new design for us and for only a very minimal extra labor fee! The cake was absolutely delicious (yellow cake with bavarian cream filling is to die for) and the design was done perfectly. Couldn't have asked for anything better!

of planning things and just didn't want to. The first appoinment I had we tasted the cakes and started the design process. First and foremost the cakes were delicious! However, the person we met with that day was not the most pleasant. She pretty much yelled at me for not knowing exactly how I wanted my cupcakes designed. Which I understand is probably annoying for them but they have cake designers in the store so they should also be able to give me some ideas to help make the process go better. She told me I needed to go home and do some homework before I came back to meet with them again. The second time I went the original girl was sick and I got someone different who was way more helpful. She helped us pick out some designs and gave us ideas! I will say though, that the story changed that day about what was included in our package but at the end of the day that didn't really matter. When the cupcakes were delivered everything looked and tasted amazing. I rented their cupcake tower which was a hefty price of $200, but $150 of it was a deposit that we were to get back when we dropped it off after the wedding. I didn't really want to pay that price but the shop wouldn't set up the cupcakes at the venue if we used anything else other than theirs. I got it and it worked fine but when my mom went to return it the guy tried to give us less money back because he didn't know what the price was. Good thing my mom called me to check before she left the place! All in all, the cake is good and depending on who you work with at the store your experience can be good.

te vendors of the day. The tasting was very informative and we loved all of the flavors that we tried. Andrea was extremely helpful at showing us the different sizes, cake shapes and decoration options. The pricing was very clear and we knew exactly what we would be getting when she sketched out our cake and selected the flavors and options. Our guests enjoyed the cake and were excited to try all of the different flavors. We even liked it so much that we ate our top tier the week after the wedding instead of saving it for our 1st anniversary- Next year we can't wait to order an anniversary cake from Yia Yia's!

ost importantly, we had a family friend design a Crest for our wedding theme and wanted it on our cake. Andrea and the design team at Yai Yai's made it happen. The cake looked and tasted amazing!!! Would highly recommend using them for any other event to provide the cake - thanks Andrea and the Team at Yai Yai's!!

erers) through Yia Yia's, so I'm not sure exactly what their prices are but we did have to pay extra for fondant icing.

ing off my cake topper the girl was very rude and quickly got snotty with me when I asked her to be carful with it.. My arm had broke off and it had to be repaired. I offered superglue incase anything happened but she refused and said there would be nothing they could do... Otherwise I loved my cake.
