The Reviews

Written By: Laraine Olson

Everyone in Minnesota knows Butterfield’s and their amazing cupcakes. We had a few choices to make with our cake. We could have a traditional cake with a few cupcakes or we could have a cupcake tower with a small cake on top. We went with the cupcake tower. We had 4 different flavors to choose from and then we had the top cake as our wedding cake. It tasted amazing and it looked amazing. We had hardly any cupcakes left. We had 275 at our wedding and we only had about 150 at rehearsal, we knew we did a good job. The people at Butterfield’s were very helpful in making our wedding cupcake tower perfect. They called me the week before so I could make sure I ordered the correct amount of cupcakes. They called the venue to set up the delivery and it was all done. It was amazing how stress free the whole process was. I would definitely recommend Butterfield’s to anyone who wants a awesome cupcake and cake experience.

This is a tough one, but we do NOT want to give more than 5 stars.

2 little issues - one, we had to pay for our cake stand (which was on top of the price of our cake), and two, it’s hard to get in touch with someone (even after a couple of emails to their email).

But! The cake! Oh my goodness, the cake! It was beautiful. And it tasted wonderful. We had a layer of red velvet and another of lemon. Both were amazing. We also had a layer of butter cream frosting and another of pound cake (a local MN tradition). This was all in one cake instead of the usual 3 cakes, which is what made it so expensive. It’s hard to beat the taste of a butter cream frosting cake.

The cake was decorated in the style of the movie, but with our 2 cats on top (we have Pepper and Chi Chi and we are cat people). We gave them 2 little flags to put on the side that said “Chi Chi” and “Pepper”. It was adorable. They did a great job.

Now for the minor issues - we had to buy our own cake stand, and it just so happens that we don’t live in the area where Butterfield’s is (obviously, as I don’t work for them and don’t get a discount on cake purchases). But we also didn’t get a discount for having both pound cake and butter cream frosting (as I mentioned, it’s not a combo they offer).

But when the cake was delivered, it was there. It tasted wonderful. And when we wanted to buy a cake stand (we didn’t, because we are going to make our own from scratch), we were able to. We love Butterfield’s, but we would have had to pay for our cake stand, and they are just not a vendor we can easily go with - they are just not that easy to get in touch with.

But when you are going to be doing a custom cake, you’re going to have to put up with a couple issues. We did get a discount for having 2 layers of pound cake, and the custom cake was worth the extra money (the movie decor is worth the extra money). It’s just a shame we had to pay for our cake stand and get our pound cake discount; otherwise we would have used Butterfield’s again.
