Awakening bakery was the perfect pick for our wedding day. We wanted something simple and delicious. So, we got a small cake to cut and cupcakes as favors. We ordered them with fall colors on them and they were a hit. Everyone loved the flavor (almond) and the cute fall decorations. The bakery even put a little fall tree on top of each cupcake :) The cake was a simple 3 tiered round, but it looked really nice. The cupcakes were the star though. They were so soft and delicious and the filling was amazing. The best part though, was the tasting. We were able to taste so many flavors, in their own cupcakes, so we could pick exactly what we wanted. It was so much better than having someone make flavors for us, because we couldn’t honestly say that they were all delicious. They let us pick 4 flavors and then made those flavors available in cupcakes for us to try. It was the best experience and the best cupcakes ever. Also, the price was perfect. We ordered a lot of cupcakes for a little over 100 guests and didn’t have any left over! I really love that they take all of the guesswork out of making something for your wedding. All you have to do is pick your flavors and they handle the rest. It was the perfect day-of wedding dessert. Awakening Bakery really came through on every level and I am so happy they were a part of our wedding. Thank you!

Awakening bakery is a local bakery that has been in existence since before I was even conceived. So when it came time to choose a bakery for my wedding cake, it was a no brainer to go with Awakening. I should say that my mom and I went to Awakening one Saturday morning to taste some wedding cake samples and nothing was released except chocolate, which was just for sampling, but still delicious. There was ample samples of each flavor to make a decision. Red velvet with Italian buttercream. Carrot cake with cream cheese icing. Both with white cake. Also included was a sample of the famous chocolate cake, which is a Boston cream pie in a chocolate cake. We went with the red velvet and the chocolate cake with choc/nut mix in it, which was delicious. They are slightly different from what I call a “traditional” red velvet and chocolate cake, but still delicious. I should also mention that the cake was a large three tiered round cake, which was one of the reasons that I decided to go with this bakery. The other two reasons were that 1) they created a cake that was similar to what I wanted, but still different enough, and 2) they are extremely creative and flexible. The cake looked simply beautiful, and they were willing to make a few changes in the decoration to make it fit my wedding color scheme. And one of the things I was most excited about was the cake topper. I wanted a snowcap, but I also wanted it to be a different shape. They were able to make a snowcap out of fondant, which was sculpted to look like the Adirondacks, and just to make it look completely different than all the other cakes. It was PERFECT! And the flavor was delicious! They were able to deliver the cake to the wedding, which was a huge plus, especially since the wedding was in New Hampshire and the bakery is in Maine. So I had one of the layers transported, so that it could still be cold for the reception, and it was delicious. I should also add that I had a wedding with 40 people, so that meant that I had a LOT of cake. Enough that people had two or three slices. So I also had an anniversary layer made for us, which was carrot cake. It was also delicious. I can’t wait for the anniversary layer. So as you can see, I had plenty of cake. I didn’t have to worry about not having enough. And it was really good cake.
