The Reviews

Written By: Eula Ray

We had a very specific idea for our wedding cake, and Buttercup Bakery (and their amazing frosting!) helped us bring our vision to life. We wanted a bright, colorful, custom wedding cake made up of different varieties of cupcakes. Although they do standard vanilla, chocolate, and hazelnut, they were more than willing to work with us to create custom flavors like cappuccino, red velvet, and carrot cake to go along with our custom colors.

Our custom cake was a 3-D cake made up of a total of 16 different flavored cupcakes, and we even worked with them to create another custom flavor for another wedding cake we wanted to do a small replica of! Our custom flavors were lime green, orange cream, and chocolate espresso, all of which were delicious! They even worked with us to put a few of our personal wedding keepsakes on the cake, including a specially-designed topper!

Not only did our custom cake look amazing, it also tasted AMAZING. The cake was so moist, and the custom flavors were extremely fresh and delicious. We got a ton of compliments, and there wasn’t too much left over (which is what we wanted!).

The best part about Buttercup Bakery, in my opinion, is their amazing Farmhouse Frosting. The absolute best!! They put so much thought and time into their flavors and combinations, and it is so complex, but somehow still simple and light, that it can go really well with any style or theme. Our custom flavors were a great match with the summer theme of our wedding, and we loved it!

I am so happy Buttercup Bakery worked with us to create our amazing custom cake. I would definitely recommend them, and I can’t wait to have another custom cake made by them in the future!
