The Reviews

Written By: Augusta Henson

We wanted a special cake for our wedding as husband and wife and this place was recommended by our venue. We went for our tasting and the place was very busy and we were helped by a very nice lady. We chose 2 flavor combinations for the cake (One for the special cake and the other one for the regular cake) and then we were given a sketch of the cake by the decorator. It was a very nice cake and the decoration was done exactly the way we wanted it. The cake was delivered on time to the venue and was just the way we ordered it. The prices were affordable compared to some other specialty cake places. We had some guests that are not very mainstream (Meringue and Creme flavor) and they made it very well. We were expecting the cake to be very dry and it was very moist (Meringue and Creme = YUM). I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for specialty cakes done very well.

We were able to do two tastings - one for cake and one for cake and desserts - all for the price of one. We got to try the cakes we were interested in, and they also gave us a small sampling of the corresponding cookies and/or small deserts. We got to take all the leftovers home with us! Our cake tasting was awesome, and they were very flexible with our sampling requests, and even provided a custom box for our tasting. The only drawback is that they’re in a busy, tourist-oriented area, so the shop is a little small and not really designed to be seen or heard from outside of it. However, they were very easy to get ahold of and manage, and everything turned out great. We got our wedding cake, wedding cupcakes, rehearsal dinner cake, groom’s cake, and a birthday cake made there - everything was awesome! The cakes were beautiful, and the price was very reasonable for what we got. They also had a good variety of small deserts - the cookies went great with the cakes, and we had no trouble finishing what we wanted. All the people at the bakery were very helpful, and we had no problems at all. They were also able to deliver everything straight to the venue, so we didn’t have to worry about anyone getting there and not having anything - they were very flexible and organized. Overall, we’ve been very happy with our cakes and deserts from Azucar, and would recommend them to anyone!
