Amanda Oakleaf Cakes

There wasn't a spec of cake left. People could not stop talking about the best, moist, delicious cake/cupcake that they ever had at a wedding. We did a carrot cake for our top tier and I cannot stop eating it. It blows any other cake out there. Thank you Amanda!!!!!!

Amanda Oakleaf was a breeze to work with. The entire staff was incredibly accommodating, helpful and responsive. The cake was absolutely gorgeous - better than we imagined. Everything from the tasting to the day off was hassle free and so simple. We went with 3 flavors. 2 out of the 3 did not get very good reviews with our guests. The guests said that the red velvet and mexican chocolate were very dry. We have a full tier of the lemon raspberry at home and thought that was delicious. Ultimately, we would use them again as we were most concerned with the design - which was perfect.

The cake itself was lovely and very cool looking, though not exactly the right colors. I did receive many compliments on the look of the cake. The cake did not taste as fresh as it had in the tasting, though it was still good, not great. The cake was delivered much earlier than I had told it would be, which would have been okay, except no one was prepared for it to arrive that early and it was placed in the wrong spot and needed to be moved causing problems.

Amanda Oakleaf Cakes made us the best cake ever for our wedding!! We had a roller coaster cake, complete with a wedding topper of my husband and I in a coaster car. Amazing! Plus the cake was delicious and all everyone was talking about at our wedding!

I wish I could give them a glowing review but I just can't. First and foremost, the cake and cupcakes were delicious and all of our guests loved them. The main problem that I have is with the service that we received. We ordered 110 cupcakes in four different flavors and a square top tier that would fit on a 10" cake stand that my husband I could cut into. We showed Amanda a picture of a cake that had a fondant design that looked like lace and was elevated on the cake stand because it had fondant points on the bottom that hung down (the best way I can describe it is that it looked like a bunting pulled straight). When we showed Amanda the photo she pointed at it and said "Is this the part that you really like?" and we told her yes. In all honesty it was the ONLY design option that we asked for with the cake and the cupcakes. The Sunday before the wedding I got a phone call at 5:55pm from someone named Tim calling to go over some things in the contract. In the message he says "We close in 5 minutes so unless you get this message right away give us a call on Tuesday because we are closed on Mondays." My question is this: if you have to go over some details with a bride WHY would you call her right as you are about to close and WHY did you wait until the last second? Shouldn't this phone call have happened a week earlier? I called him back on Tuesday and he is going over the details and he has it all wrong. he is talking about a round cake that will feed 10 people and 100 cupcakes. Wrong wrong wrong. I went over what everything was supposed to be and I thought it was all set.So the wedding day is here! I walk in to the dining room before the ceremony and the cake is missing the one design aspect my husband and I asked for - the points on the bottom of the cake. The fondant design is also all wrong - it looked like flowers, not lace. They are giving us a $100 gift card, but it was disappointing to have gone over all the details many times and still have it be wrong.

The cake you created for our daughter's wedding surpassed our expectactions. Not only was it a work of art, it was absolutely delicious as well. It looked just like the photo on your website. Many pictures were taken before the cake quickly disappeared. Everyone oohed and aahed over the elegance and wonderful flavor. You delivered it to the restaurant well in advance of the arrival of the guests and it was displayed beautifully. We had to make wedding plans on very short notice and your staff was so helpful. This was no small feat, as you had to work with us long-distance. Thank you for adding so much to such a joyous occasion. Your creativity and attention to detail are unparalleled in our opinion. You are quite simply the best in Boston.

Amanda makes truly delicious cake. Our consultation with her was professional and pleasant, and she understood our needs and ideas perfectly. If you want a cake that looks good AND tastes good, I highly recommend her. Our cake was a three tiered apple and pumpkin cake. It was so moist and yummy that my husband got me a small apple cake from Amanda three months later for my birthday.

Amanda and her team created a stunning, creative and tasty wedding cake for our wedding at the artists for humanity epicenter. She created a visually arresting design based off our invitations that was just out of this world. Some of our guests initially thought it was not a real cake- it looked that unbelievable! It was a very collaborative design process and I appreciated that Amanda had a background in art- it definitely showed when it came to the cake. I also am continuing to get compliments on both the look and taste of the cake. I never thought I'd hear someone say "that fondant was so tasty!" but her homemade marshmallow fondant is pretty awesome and the cake and fillings were delicious. Payment and delivery was seamless- there was a whole team there making sure everything was just right and it was. I am not sure I can wait until our 1 year anniversary to eat the cake we froze....

Amanda and her staff made an amazing daisy cake for out wedding. People kept asking me if the cake was real, as it looked just that perfect. I would not hesitate to recommend Amanda as she and her staff are friendly, outgoing and do beautiful work.

It's the day after my wedding and before I even finish opening my gifts or start writing the thank you cards, I want to post this review -- I am that impressed!

I chose Amanda Oakleaf Cakes on a complete whim. My husband Ryan is really into cake shows, so I thought it might be kind of cool to leave my comfort zone of the vanilla cake + white icing three-tiered deal and get something a bit different. Ryan and I were getting married at a friend's beach house in Nahant, so we wanted something beach-themed. Amanda had some great ideas. What we ended up with was a massive cake (at least by regular standards) that matched the scenery, our invitations and captured our style. In fact, the sugar replica of Graves Light was completely on point and the figurines of the two grooms (these folks are very same-sex marriage friendly, we were well-treated) were really cute.

Everyone at the wedding raved at how the cake looked and then raved again when they tasted it. The buttercream frosting was so creamy and even better with our graham cracker crumb "beach sand." Both the red velvet cake and the lemon cake (yes, I had two pieces) layers tasted wonderful.

Amanda Oakleaf and team are a very talented bunch. If you want something special to make your occasion even more memorable, I think you should give them a call.

We had Amanda Oakleaf create a cupcake wedding tower for us with a square topper and caricatures of my husband and I on top. They were the most delicious cupcakes/cake I've ever had at any event--and I'm proud to say it was my own. The adorable caricatures were so spot on and so fabulous. The cupcakes were absolutely scrumptious and the entire thing a huge hit. The topper, decorations, and entire cupcake tower were so perfect and so us! They did an amazing job of capturing us and the sentiment we were going for. I should add that all the cupcakes were consumed! Yum!

Cake was DELICIOUS, moist, very fresh tasting, and everyone raved about it.
They make there own marshmallow fondant, which was superb, not overly sweet like most. And the icing was so smooth and blended so wonderfully with the cake itself.
Our cake tasting was a lot of fun, and Ms. Oakleaf was entirely pleasant, insightful, and communicative about what she could do and what would work and wouldn't physically.
As far as the design goes...it was not exactly what I thought it was going to look like, however I did say to them when they were very patiently explaining the design that anything was fine, and from the portfolio we trusted them completely. I did connect the design with the rough sketch, and it was very nice, however I feel it was a little pricey for the design we got.
But for the record, it was probably the best tasting cake we have ever had, and we eat a lot of cake. A lot.

To anyone looking for the most spectacular wedding cake of their lives, Amanda Oakleaf Cakes delivers. We had two cakes made for our wedding event. One more traditional three-tiered cake and one specialty cake consisting of a scene set in the Grand Tetons National Park with figurines of ourselves, and our two dogs, hiking. Not only was the professionalism beyond appreciated the cakes were better than we could ever have imagined and tasty too! We got so many positive comments on our cakes of guests wanting to know who did them for us and how we found them that we just started handing out Amanda Oakleaf's notecards with the information on them during our reception! I would truely recommend using this vendor to ensure that your wedding cake dreams come true.

The cake Amanda created for us is not your typical wedding cake but rather a piece of art. Besides looking stunning it was extremely delicious. (And fondant is not easy to pull off) We highly recommend her.

My husband and I had some specific ideas in mind for our Red Sox/Yankees themed wedding cake and had struggled to find a baker that could turn our ideas into cake. We met with Amanda and were delighted not only by the taste and quality of her cakes and frostings, but also by her enthusiasm to work with us. The cake turned out amazing and was the talk of the wedding. We wholeheartedly recommend Amanda and her team and will look to her for future cakes as well.

I had Amanda design a custom wedding cake in the shape of an airplane as that's where my husband and I met. You cannot believe this cake, it was amazing! This was a surprise for my husband and he was absolutely blown away as were all of our guests.

It was much more life-like than I ever imagined and it tasted yummy...lemon cake with raspberry merengue. The staff was professional and easy to work with and I would use her again in a heartbeat for any specialty cake needs...birthday, anniversary, etc.

It was hard for me to schedule a tasting as I'm not local and there aren't weekend tastings but Amanda was kind enough to make up a batch of cupcakes in different flavor combinations so we could choose. People are still sending notes about this cake!

Amanda did not make a wedding cake for me, but did design a custom cake for my husband's 40th birthday. He liked it so much he made everyone wait an entire day before cutting in to the cake. The cake design was based on album cover art work for Iron Maiden's Benjamin Breeg Album. I sent her pictures and my ideas for the cake and she made my vision come to life! Our guests were in awe. What an artist! Not only did the cake look amazing, but it tasted wonderful as well! Her cake helped make my husband's birthday party an unforgettable event! I want to get married again just so I can have her design my wedding cake!

Amanda was fabulous. I tried to describe what I was looking for on my cake and she sent over two sketches that same evening. We changed the number of servings later, but she was completely flexible. And the cake was absolutely beautiful. i had so many compliments and the cake was absolutely delcious. She used this marshmallow fondant which was actually tasty. We had a mixture of red velvet and carrot cake. The red velvet cake was a hit.

We are so happy with how our wedding cake came out! Amanda is very professional and was super helpful. She helped us get the dream wedding cake I really wanted at a cost that fit our budget. I will certainly will be a repeat customer! Thank you!

Highest recommendation! Amanda's professionalism is tremendous. Her cakes are delicious and beautiful. She made my wedding cake and everyone RAVED about it! Thank you Amanda!!

My cake was beautiful and absolutely delicious. I wish we could have another one just for us to eat!

I would highly recommend Amanda as a cake provider for any special occasion. Our wedding cake was her unique design, as she listened to what we wanted and came up with a perfect solution. The flavor of the cake was wonderful, and we received many oohs and aahs from guests as to the design and presentation!
Overall a wonderful choice for us and we'd work with Amanda again happily!

Amanda made a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cake for my sons first birthday, the cake was beautifull and extremely delicious! The details on the cake were amazing, and did I mention delicious?! My guests are still talking about that cake. I will definately order cakes from her in the near future!! Definately a 5 STAR Cake.

At what seemed like the last moment, my husband and I decided to have a cake at the wedding. We knew we wanted something small, yet classy. I found Amanda through WeddingWire and could not have been happier! After having some issues with vendors, it was nice to work with a true professional.

Her cakes were beautiful and she was able to create one for us from a photo. It was exactly as we had imagined and she took care of all communications with the on-site coordinator and florist (who had the flowers for the cake), taking some pressure off of my hubby and I.

I would highly recommend Amanda, she was wonderful!

My daughter's birthday cake - the cutest Golden Retriever puppy wearing a #33 Red Sox Jersey - was the BEST! Amanda worked with our ideas, improved upon them, and delivered a fantastic and delicious cake. It was the hit of the party. We shall definitely order again from Amanda. In our opinion she's The cake boss!

Our cake was wonderful and delivered to our lobster bake beach reception on time. It was great. Thanks for the wonderful job.

Also, the cake was delicious!!! The butter cream was the best that I have tasted. I received many compliments on the cake...I would definetly order another cake from Amanda in the future...
Thank you!

I got a custom birthday cake for a friend. The service and the cake were both excellent. Patient seller, took the time to listen to me and even accommodated when I asked for a delivery date change!. As for my friend she absolutely loved the cake and keeps talking about it non-stop.


Thank you!

The cake was delicious! We were nervous as we planned our wedding long distance and did not have a chance to taste anything before hand, but everything was perfect! Lovely decorating and wonderful taste. Very friendly and professional. Use oakleaf cakes!

Amanda's cake was truly the most exquisite cake I, or any of my guests (per their own awe-struck comments), had ever seen. I am so grateful to have found her, as she posseses extraordinary talent and provided a breathtaking (and delicious) centerpiece for my event, completely reflective of everything I had asked her to incorporate into it. I recommend her with the utmost enthusiasm!

Cake was amazing - exactly what i had asked for.

Excellent service, delivered right on time, flawless from start to finish. Cake was a big hit with everyone and the attention to detail was exceptional.

Actually, Amanda made a cake for my father's 70th birthday party. With less than a week until the event, we contacted Amanda, told her the theme of the party, and she came back with ideas and arranged for delivery. The cake was beautiful and tasted fabulous. I would recommend Amanda Oakleaf's cake for any occasion, including Bar/Bat Mitzvah's, birthday parties, weddings, and retirement parties. Thank you, Amanda!

The birthday cake was amazing, we weren't expecting it to me 3-d but 2-d. So that was a nice treat. The cake itself was so delicious. Thank you.

Amanda Oakleaf made a custom-designed, three dimensional dragon cake for my boyfriend's birthday party. (It is posted in the "gallery of cakes" section on the front page of her website.

It was exquisitely detailed.

He was very surprised, happy, and touched by it.

Amanda even had it made in his company colors.

The only problem was that he had a very hard time cutting and serving it because he did not want to ruin it. He took about 40 pictures of it and sent them to all of his friends and family.

A fantastic cake!

I would defintiely recommend Oakleaf Cakes to anyone who wants a custom cake! She provided a replica of a 1969 Chevy pick up! The cake was beautiful and Amanda's attention to detail was fantastic! The cake ensured that every component to a great night was fulfilled! I will keep Amanda's card on file for the future! She was great to work with and does a wonderful job! Thanks Amanda!

I've gotten two cakes from Amanda and they were amazing!! I got one a birthtday party and one for a holiday party. The birthday cake was a delicious buttercreme that tasted as good as it looked. All my friends loved the cake, so when the holidays came around, I decided to get another one. Boy oh boy! The cake was red velvet, which was wonderfully moist with a cream cheese frosting in between the layers. MMMMM! Then to top it all of she made a super sweet frosting which was perfect for a holiday party (to keep the party rolling of course!) The frosting was the even better with the homemade marshmallow fandant. I would gladly recommend Amanda Oakleaf Cakes to any of my friends!

I thought the cake we had from Amanda was amazing! I wasn't sure how the colors would turn out but she got it right on. We wanted something kind of fun and not too traditional, and I loved how she made our ideas work. Of course, the cake (chocolate) was very delicious and all the guests loved it. I will be getting more cakes from her in the future. Great work.

Great Cakes + Great People!

These cakes are stunning! Beautiful work!
