The Reviews

Written By: Simona Glover

I had been looking forward to our cake tasting ever since we signed up for our wedding package. We were very impressed with the selection of flavors. We went with lemon, chocolate, and apple spice. They brought out three small cakes with the different flavors of icing and filling. We were very impressed with the quality of the cakes. They were not dry at all and the icing was not too sweet. We left feeling very full and very excited about our wedding. We talked with a planner about our idea for our cake and the design and she said that they were very capable of making everything that we wanted. On the day of the wedding the cake was delivered on time and looking beautiful. Our top layer was sent to our hotel so we could not taste it at the wedding. We were very pleased with the whole process.

Artisan bakery was one of the bakeries included in our wedding venue’s package and was a great place to start. I was able to do a complimentary tasting, which was so much fun! I brought some ideas about cakes that I liked and we worked to come up with a design that me and my husband liked. We also decided to go with a different flavor for each layer of our cake. We ended up picking 4 different flavors. One of them being lemon. I don’t like lemon, but it was so good that I ate a ton of it. Lol. The cake was a huge hit. And they have a ton of different styles to choose from and different flavors. They also have a book of their past designs that you can look at. I really liked what they came up with and it was kinda like what I wanted. Plus, their pricing is great. They don’t try to jack up the price with extra stuff that you don’t want. They focus on making a good product that meets your needs and in the end, that’s all you want. I definitely recommend them for any type of cake you’re looking for.

We had a great experience with Artisan Bake Shop for our wedding cake and groom’s cake. We had a consultation with Nick, one of the bakers, to talk about our vision for our cakes. He was very receptive and made some helpful suggestions. We then completed a tasting of all of the combinations of cakes, fillings, and frostings that we had room to try. We picked our flavors (the lemon with a raspberry filling and the chocolate with a chocolate filling), picked a design for the wedding cake, and discussed details like dimensions and decorations for the cake. The end result was two delicious cakes that looked just as we had envisioned! The cake was moist and the decorations were flawless. We will be Artisan Bake Shop fans for life! One small complaint: we had to pay for the tasting, which we thought was fair, but we were only offered a few of the combinations to taste rather than all of them. Still, the cakes are great and the company is helpful, so we would recommend them to friends.

Artisan Bake Shop did an amazing job with our wedding cake. We were very impressed by our tasting (everything is made from scratch and it’s all pretty delicious). The price was right too! We got to choose between a variety of cakes and fillings (not including the base cake which we were told was about $4 a slice) and it was enough to make us happy! We had 3 different flavored cakes and 3 different flavored fillings. We were able to choose a different cake/flavor for every layer of our cake. We chose a chocolate cake with raspberry and hazelnut fillings, a carrot cake with cream cheese and pineapple fillings and a red velvet cake with cream cheese and caramel fillings. Our cake was beautiful and delicious! We were told that we can’t-live-without a piece of our cake even though we’re not married and it was eaten by others. I can’t wait for our one year anniversary because my husband said he doesn’t mind eating my piece then! The cake was so good I’m sure we will be eating our top layer in a year as well!

My husband and I had looked long and hard at a couple of different bakery shops and, although we had our favorites, none of the flavors or designs were really what we wanted. Until we met Jill at the Artisan Bake Shop. We were blown away by the quality of her products, the huge selection of flavors she could offer and the design styles she could create. We decided to use her on our wedding day and we could not have been more pleased. Her attention to detail and her creativity in the designs she created was fantastic. We had a hard time deciding which flavors we wanted to use since they were all so great. We decided on Pumpkin Spice, Spice Cake and Red Velvet with Cream Cheese Filling for our flavors and we had tons of compliments from our wedding guests. Jill and her team were so nice and easy to work with. We knew we had made the right choice in choosing the Artisan Bake Shop for our wedding day. It was one of the easiest and best decisions we made.

Our wedding cake was absolutely incredible. It was even more beautiful than I had anticipated. So much attention was paid to every detail. And the real kicker, was the taste! We had a red velvet cake, with a raspberry filling, and a cream cheese icing! MMMMM…

My husband and I were a little worried that our cake would be too sweet, but it was perfect, not too sweet but just the right touch of sweetness.

My sister and brother in law got married in Hawaii a couple years ago and they served the cake on their wedding cake turned out amazing. I saw the cake and it looked just like a beautiful pineapple. And the taste was just as sweet as the name implies.

It is rare to find a cake that both looks and tastes great, but the artisan bake shop has it!!!

If you want a cake that is not only beautiful but will taste just as good as it looks, get your cake from the Artisan Bake Shop!
