The Reviews

Written By: Sibylle Bass

5 star for 5-12 dessert boutique and lounge. They were wonderful to work with and accommodated our food allergy. Our wedding was a huge hit thanks to them! The food was amazing. We had a large wedding guest list and everyone raved about the food.

Our wedding was on July 4th, so for our dinner we had a traditional wedding dinner. They recommended against having the dinner at the restaurant because of the amount of cooking and stirring that would have to happen, so we had a BBQ on the roof the day before! It was wonderful.

The service was excellent and the staff was wonderful.

I wish I could post the pictures of how great the food looked and the different apps we had on the menu. They were all so good that we couldn’t pick just one. Their suggestion to do apps was a great idea. So so good and all the apps were the same price as a regular dinner. They were very helpful in working with us and making sure we had enough apps for everyone and working with us when we wanted to try something new.

They were wonderful to work with and very accommodating.

Thank you so much for making our wedding so memorable and for the great service.

We used 5-12 for our wedding and we are so happy we did!

We started off with choosing our tasting flavors. They were the most delicious cupcakes we have ever had and we were super excited to have so many to choose from! We chose to have 4 different flavors for our wedding. They were: vanilla cake with lemon curd and fresh raspberries, chocolate cake with peanut butter buttercream, vanilla cake with salted caramel buttercream, and last but not least my personal favorite: chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and sea salt caramel. We were so excited and can’t wait to eat the top layer of our cake.

We wanted to dress our wedding cake up a little bit so we added lace decorations that were made by hand and pearls. 5-12 handled everything from start to finish and it was just perfect!

We also loved that they only use fresh ingredients. Everything they make is from scratch, all natural, and very clean. We felt super comfortable giving them our order and were beyond happy with how everything turned out! XO, The Kays

5 stars for 5-12 dessert boutique. They were super helpful from beginning to end. I am a destination bride from out of town, and they were able to accommodate my crazy schedule to fit in a tasting. We talked over the phone and got everything figured out. When I finally made it to the store, I got to try all of the different cupcake flavors and different icings in their cupcake racks. The icings and cupcake flavors were all delicious! I was also pleasantly surprised to see that they had made two different cupcakes just for me, one with white chocolate mousse filling and another with raspberry filling. I loved them both, so they made another mini cupcake with both fillings mixed together inside! When I told them my color scheme for the wedding, they were able to help me pick the right size of cake for the amount of people that I was going to have. We went back and forth with a few emails, as I wanted to have cupcakes instead of a full on cake. They were very helpful and patient. The day of the wedding, everything was delivered on time, and they set up the cupcakes on the cupcake tower. Everything looked amazing, but of course I had to eat all of the cupcakes before the night was over!
