The Reviews

We absolutely LOVED our wedding cake. It was so delicious, my husband and I couldn’t wait to have more than one bite. Even now, a month after our wedding, just thinking about it is making our mouths water.

Working with Elizabeth was awesome. She was very responsive and helpful. She took our vision for a simple, earth-toned cake with a few small decorations and brought it to life in color and with two adorable little owls made of fondant that we could keep forever.

Our cake was a huge hit. Everyone thought the cake was too beautiful to be real, so we had a little miniature one made for our “sweetheart” table, and everyone couldn’t believe it was edible. We had a few different flavors, and every one of them was delicious. I’m not even sure what ours were (we didn’t have a piece, except for the little bit we couldn’t save for the anniversary), but we had a lemon with raspberry filling, a yellow with chocolate filling, and a white with a raspberry cream cheese filling).

We had a few different styles of cake in mind, and Elizabeth and Cakewalk had them all. We wanted square pieces with rounded corners, to look like slices of wood. We wanted a simple, uneven icing design in browns and earth tones, with a little owl on each slice. The cake we had was simple, rounded corners, and a more realistic (for geeks) little green and purple owl with a computer monitor. It was perfect.

I can’t recommend them enough. Get a cake that you want, with flavors you want (even if it’s not on the list of favorites offered, they can still probably make it if you ask. Trust me, it’ll be awesome). Get one that’s not too complicated, because you’ll have to explain a lot of things to the person deciding on the cake. And if you’re not sure, or if it gets too complicated, err on the side of doing less. It’ll be better. :)

I knew before I was even engaged that I wanted Melanie to do our cakes. When I was in the process of planning everything out, she was very helpful in working with me on my specific vision for my groom’s cake. For the wedding cake, she made the entire process a dream. We had five flavors, all with different fillings, and everything was fantastic. The cake was delicious, and it was GORGEOUS! She really knows her craft, and made my wedding cake one-of-a-kind and personal to us. She was also very responsive, helpful, and accommodating throughout the entire planning process. I didn’t have a single worry in the months leading up to the wedding, and I’m not talking about the cake either. She made everything look perfect, but I knew that she and her team would be there on the day of making it happen. I didn’t have to worry about anything. The cake was perfect in all ways, and we were thrilled! We had people who wanted to know what flavor each layer was, how you can have 5 and all be so good, and we told them. We also had people who were trying all the flavors and were sad when we told them there were only 5. Melanie and team at Cakewalk State are truly amazing and we couldn’t be happier to have been helped by them.

I could not have asked for a better wedding cake! Eileen is so talented and brought our vision to life. Not only did it look amazing, but it tasted delicious! We had a white cake with raspberry preserves and a chocolate cake with cookie dough, and it was seriously to die for. She was also so great to work with! It was so easy to schedule a tasting, give her ideas for the decoration, and then when we were absolutely stressed out and wondering if we would have a cake for the wedding because of COVID-19, she was so patient and answered all the emails and told us she would be in contact with us about scheduling another tasting, even though we were already planning a wedding during a pandemic. She always responded quickly and told us we would be taken care of. On the wedding day, she delivered the cake on time and left cute little bride and groom decorations on the cake. It was so easy to work with Eileen and so great that our cake was even better than we could have imagined!
