This was my second time using Baker's Man for a specialty cake. My wedding cake was exactly as I imagined it. I showed Mark a few different pictures of what I had in mind, and he made it happen -- flawlessly. The cake was beautiful and tasted AMAZING. As with the first cake Mark made for me (for my son's bar mitzvah), everyone keeps talking about how great the cake was. His butter cream is sweet -- but not cloyingly so as I've tasted with many other wedding cakes. Mark is a consummate professional from start to finish. Use Baker's Man for your wedding cake; it will look and taste out of this world.

Baker's Man definitely knows how to design and bake an absolutely incredible cake! Our wedding cake turned out beautiful and tasted amazing. We had so many compliments on it. We would 100% recommend Baker's Man for your next special occasion cake!

I'd like to start off by saying we are SO lucky to have been able to work with Mark for our wedding cake. He was able to accommodate our large party even though we came to him last minute AND requested a 600 person cake over a holiday (Labor Day) weekend. That being said, he was very easy to work with and the only problem we had was trying to pick a cake flavor, because they were all so delicious. We chose to go with a dummy cake and serve sheet cake from the back, and were even able to have 2 different cakes to serve our guests. On our wedding day,the dummy cake looked beautiful and the cake was delicious and far surpassed our expectations. We had friends and family who never even eat cake telling us that it was the best cake they've ever had and they finished every last bite of it. We were extremely satisfied with the Bakersman and his product and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cake. Hands down, he is the best.

Mark and his team did such a wonderful job with our cupcakes and cakes - we couldn’t have been more pleased. Mark listened to our requests and did EXACTLY what we wanted. Not only was the presentation amazing and exactly what we were looking for, but the cupcakes and the cake were over-the-top delicious. So much so that we dug into the cupcakes within minutes from returning from our honeymoon (we froze a couple). I am pretty sure the top cake tiers will not make it until our one year anniversary. Mark has quite a gift for creating extraordinary flavor combinations! Baker's Man played a big part in helping make our wedding day absolutely perfect. Mark always promptly and patiently responded to our many emails and was extremely professional in the months leading up to the big day. We never once had to worry about whether the cake would arrive or arrive on time – he was so organized and on the ball that it was one less thing to worry about on our wedding day. You will not regret choosing Baker's Man!
Thanks Mark!
GUEST




Working with Mark was great! We especially liked that he allowed us to have a cake with multiple flavored layers. Mark was very flexible about allowing us to change our design at the last minute and the cake tasted great!

Mark Brickman and the Baker’s Man team created the most incredible (and delicious) cakes for our wedding. Going in, we knew exactly what we wanted the cakes to look like and Baker’s Man was able to execute our vision to perfection. For the groom’s cake, he created a custom two dimensional cut out of Domo Kun made of two layers of the most amazing chocolate buttermilk cake with a layer of banana butter cream as the center filling and topped with another layer of chocolate butter cream.
For the main cake, he made a gorgeous 5 tier cake that consisted of three layers of lemon infused vanilla cake with a layer of Swiss white chocolate buttercream with a thin layer of strawberry marmalade and another layer of mandarin orange buttercream. We received so many compliments from guests on the cakes. Everyone praised how gorgeous and how exceptionally delicious the cakes were. Often you go to weddings and the cake is too dry, too sweet, or just eeehh…nothing special. But the cakes that Mark made for us can only be described as to die for. We even had one guest who enjoyed the cake so much that he went around stealing unattended slices from other tables (4 pieces total lol).
In addition to making an exceptional product, Mark was such a dream to work with. He was so knowledgeable, responsive, and kind. There’s definitely that good guy vibe to him. He really helped make our wedding planning experience painless. We had such a wonderful experience with Baker’s Man and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding cake!

I had a wonderful experience with The Baker's Man, Inc. Mark is great! He was able to accommodate my schedule and meet on a weekday late in the evening for a tasting. My wedding cake quite honestly exceeded my expectations. It was beautiful and tasted GREAT! My flavors were Red Velvet, Chocolate Marble, and Almond. Each tier had all three flavors and it was very yummy. The cake was moist and did I mention beautiful.He personally delivered to my venue which was a plus. :)
I would recommend him to a future bride.

We tried a few other bakeries before we found Mark, who we both agreed was "the one". Aside from the fact that his cakes are beautiful, many people at our wedding, and we happened to agree; told us this was some of the best cake they had ever had. Mark was extremely helpful, responsive, and professional throughout the planning, which gave me one less thing to worry about! I highly recommend.
GUEST




Mark of Baker's Man, Inc. was just fantastic! He knew what we wanted when we didn't and he helped us build a cake better than we ever expected! His creativity is really what completed our wedding cake. When he knew we wanted something a little more than the standard flavors, he really gave us fun options and we were able to create a cake far from the chocolate or vanilla standard! We gave him just a few design and color ideas and he created our perfect wedding cake! We can't wait to have our "top layer" on our one-year anniversary! I look forward to working with Mark on our next event! I will highly recommend him to everyone I know!
GUEST




Mark was wonderful! Not only are his cakes gorgeous, but they are delicious as well! I will definitely be using he again someday and would recommend him to everyone I know!
GUEST




We used Mark for a wedding cake. Unfortunately I was not able to be involved in the chosing of the cake due to my horrendous schedule. Mark is a very nice gentelmen and my wife really enjoyed meeting him. Our cake was beautiful, very simple and elegant just as we asked. We had a couple of quality issues as far as the cake goes. Unfortunately as far as taste goes, I've had better cake from Publix. The other issue we had with ours was that a couple of days after the wedding the left over cake fell apart. I don't know why, I've never seen anything like it before. I would have given a higher quality score, but I don't think the quality score can exceed the value score.
I have no doubt that if I would have been involved in the cake tasting I probably would have liked it much better. I guess overall what I'm saying to all of you out there is I would reccomend Mark's services, however make sure your able to participate in the cake tasting so that you know exactly what your getting!
GUEST




Mark truly captured and created exactly the cake that I wanted. I knew that I did not want fondant and he never tried to push it on me but was able to work around that issue.
From our first contact, Mark put me at ease about the whole process and was extremely informative and professional. He laid out how the process works and even provided tips for selecting cake flavors and putting together a truly wonderful cake.
I highly recommend Baker's Man to everyone. You truly will be...
GUEST




Mark and the team at Baker's Man Inc. blew us away with our Beatle's inspired "All You Need Is Love" Groom's Cake! When I initially e-mailed with Mark, he was attentive to my ideas and came up with a design that turned out to be exactly what I wanted but could've never come up with myself! You can't ask for more than that. The price was reasonable and they really worked with what I wanted. Everyone at the wedding commented on how unique yet elegant the cake was, and then they tasted it and said it was one of the best they'd ever had! It added so much to our wedding and I'm so glad we chose Baker's Man. I will definitely use them again the next time we need a cake for an occasion!
GUEST




Delicious and beautiful. The attention to detail on both of my cakes was perfect. Everyone loved the flavors and I too will always remember how beautiful it was on my cake table.
GUEST




Mark did an incredibly job for our wedding cake! We wanted something different and that the guest would remember forever and they definitely will!! He created a combination of cake flavors and icing flavors that made everyone want a second serving and for a very affordable price. We found a picture of a cake we loved and Mark matched it perfectly and with some flowers on the top, it was the perfect wedding cake and we would highly recommend anyone use Baker's Man for their wedding or special event cake!
GUEST




Mark Brickman was amazing to work with! Because my fiance' was in the military, Mark took special care not only to go over everything with me, but then he also took the time to discuss it all again with us both, when my fiance' was in town on leave. He made the experience so personal, and helped us to design a cake that uniquely represented us! To us, the wedding cake was one of our favorite elements at the reception, and we had a lot of fun in picking both the design and the flavors. The cake tasted wonderful and its design was beyond beautiful! I highly recommend Mark at the Baker's Man... you will not be disappointed!
GUEST




I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mark and his cakes! I would absolutely reccomend him to anyone and everyone! I was planning my wedding long distance and he was absolutely the most accomodating and professional baker I interviewed...he knows what an important part of your day the cake is, and it truly shows. He provided a delicious tasting presentation for us and helped us develop exactly what our dream cake should be. We chose a square three tier, lemon cake with layers of raspberry marmalade and lemon curd butter cream filling, iced with swiss vanilla buttercream. We were absolutely blown away with not only how beautiful the cake was, but also with how unbelievably delicious it tasted, and believe me, my husband and I are very picky cake eaters!!! Not only did all of the guests rave about it at the reception, but I can't tell you how many phone calls we got over the next few days asking if they could come by and have another piece! My mouth waters just thinking about it!!! I can't wait for our first anniversary so we can eat some more...
GUEST




You want the best tasting cake AND the most beautiful cake for your wedding? Then you must meet Mark and have him make you the cake of your dreams! I came to Mark with a "vision" which he executed so amazingly that our guests are still raving about it. And the taste? OMG, the best! Let's just say I can't WAIT for our one year anniversary!!!!!! YUM.
GUEST




Mark was a joy to work with from start to finish. I was planning my wedding from England and he made every minute working with him easy. He is always available when needed and is willing to give his advice. We had a problem with a cake decorator in England who was making some of our cake decorations and although this was not Marks fault he bent over backwards to try and help us solve our issues. All of his cakes are amazing and ours was no different. All of our guests commented on how tasty the cake was, we have been eating it constantly since the wedding and are still not sick of it! Thank you Mark for all that you did for us to make our wedding cake amazing.

Lesley and Patrick, thank you for selecting me to share in your special day. I would say that you have won the prize for being the furthest away to book me. It was a pleasure creating your dream wedding cake.
GUEST




They made a last minute groom's cake for me with a complicated Elvis and accessories. It was a perfect surprise for my husband. It was exactly was I envisioned when I sent several images and a vague description. My huband was so surprised and I was thrilled. Even on shorter notice than usual they made a perfect moment for us!
Vendor response to review
Thank you Courtney. Your cake was a lot of fun to create. I am glad that your husband liked it.
GUEST




The cake was great - not your typical wedding cake. A really good cake. But we wish we would have had more. I would suggest ordering more than he recommends for your number of guests. I am not sure if we got low because we saved the top layer, but I would keep this in mind when determing how big of a cake to get. Our guests wanted seconds but we didn't have anymore to give!
Vendor response to review
Thank you for your kind words about my cakes. I do try to create them to taste like a dessert and not your typical wedding cake. I do not like to oversell my clients on cake, that is why I suggest one piece per person. I do offer the opportunity to purchase a topper fresh if you ever need to serve it to get additional servings.
GUEST




The cake was beautiful and exactly how we wanted it. Mark is a perfectionist and that is who you want making your wedding cake. We highly recommend Mark but book early because he fills up quickly.

GUEST




Baker's Man did both our wedding and grooms cake and they were wonderful! He isn't the most personable, but don't let that stop you--he does his job and does it well! the cakes were delicious and all of our guests said so, too! He has more flavors to choose from than anyone else we tried and they were all wonderful. I can't wait for our 1 year anniversary cake! :)
GUEST




WONDERFUL! The cake was so yummy! Everyone commented on it. Mark is wonderful to work with and was the only vendor I used that responded to my calls and emails in a timely fashion. The price is great and his work is wonderful.
GUEST




Baker's Man Inc is everything and more! Your cake will not only be talked about for its unique and beautiful design, but also for the taste! Everyone at our wedding thought our cake was a true masterpiece, and I must admit, I felt the same way!!!! Mark will work with you to design a cake complimenting your wedding style. I would reccommend Mark Brickman and Baker's Man Inc, to EVERYONE I know! And he also will make you a replica of your wedding topper for your first anniversary! My husband and I are counting the days (13 more to be exact!)!!!!! We can't wait for another piece of the cake!
GUEST




I wanted cupcakes and Baker's Man delivered. He has the best buttercream frosting you've ever tasted! I had 5 different types of cupcakes, all with different fillings, and beautiful fondant and chocolate decorations for each. The presentation was amazing. I over-ordered so we would have plenty to take home and we ended up taking about 10 home - they were all gone! He was so great I ended up using him for a thank you for a customer of mine at work. LOVE Baker's Man!

GUEST




Both the Wedding Cake and Groom's cake were delicious. We received many compliments from the guests stating 'that was the best wedding cake we've every had'. He is very talented.
GUEST




Highly recommend. Baker's Man designed a very cool cake for me. It was New Year's Eve so I wanted something kind of different. I designed the cake to have a tiny flashlight buried in the top to illuminate a spray of nylon fiber coming out of the top. I wish I could post a picture here because it was very pretty. The cake also tasted great and was a great value for the money.
GUEST




Mark did both the wedding cake and the groom's cake. Both cakes were fabulous. The kids who came to the wedding especially loved the groom's cake since was made in part with tootsie roll candy and chocolate. The cakes arrived on time for the wedding!
GUEST




The cake was awesome! Looked great, tasted great, and he was willing to work with me in creating exactly what I wanted. We received lots and lots of compliments. I cannot recommend him enough.
GUEST




Mark Brickman is a genius! he makes the most amazingly beautiful wedding cakes! We did not want or need a grooms' cake so we had one of layers be chocolate and it was delicious!! OMG, my mouth waters just thinking about it! And I am not a cake person either! He also made us a replica cake topper for our 1st anniversary, but the frozen one tasted pretty damn YUMMY!!
GUEST




We had a few unusual requests for the good folks over at Baker's Man, but they were able to meet and exceed our expectations. First, we wanted 2 King Cakes to be made for our Groom's cake (my husband is from New Orleans), and they delivered on that beautifully AND deliciously. Second, they were the only vendor that was willing to set my cake up on the wedding day (my sister's a Pastry Chef, and she made our cake but she was going to be too busy to put it together on the day of our wedding-she was my MOH). Baker's Man stepped up to the plate and set the cake up at our reception venue during the day. They were great!
GUEST




Baker's Man was nothing short of amazing. I provided him with a photograph and received exactly what I asked for. The cake was delicious, beautiful and just all around perfect! He was awesome!
GUEST




The cake was absolutely gorgeous and I encountered no hassle what so ever. It was a truly spectacular experience. I was expecting to have to fight over every little detail when it came to the cake but there were no issues what so ever!
Mark aims to please. He is so easy to work with and always does a thorough job. We have many shared customers and he always gets rave reviews...

FAQ for Baker's Man Inc.
Baker’s Man Inc. works in a professional industrial kitchen and showroom that is located in Alpharetta, Georgia. I do all of my baking and building of my cakes out of this kitchen. The kitchen has been inspected and approved through the department of Agriculture of the State of Georgia and is regulated by the laws of the state.
How do I know how much money my cake will cost and how much should I spend on a wedding cake?
Pricing is determined by how much time and labor I spend on the cake as well as the type of cake you are looking for. I can create any of the specialties as detailed here on the website as well as many more. Pricing will depend on how many upgrades you choose, meaning, are we adding a layer of fresh fruit or Ganache, etc... You really should spend what you feel is comfortable, but remember quality can be a little more expensive than your "typical grocery store" cake. but within that, please also remember that a chef who loves what he does and is excited about working with you is paying individual attention to you and your wedding cake. It is also prudent to remember that the wedding cake can serve as a spectacular finale dessert to your perfect day and it should reflect that in taste and quality. We request a non refundable retainer of 50% down at the time of booking our services. The final payment is due two weeks prior to your wedding date.
How do I know that your cakes will suit my taste and what I am wanting for my wedding?
When we initially meet to discuss your wedding day, you will be served a small selection of the most popular cakes that we most frequently do. I explain what each is and what it is created from and what makes that cake great and then I let you decide. I ask a lot of questions, helping to understand the ultimate statement that you are trying to make. By having this converstation, I can better help you choose the perfect cake flavor to please the most important people in your life.
Why do you offer flavored buttercream as fillings while other bakers offer mousse?
My educational background is Pastry Arts. To make a true mousse it is basically five ingredients, egg yolks, sugar, flavoring, gelatin, and heavy whipped cream. Since your cake is going to be sitting out for at least five hours prior to cutting it, the mousse will be served warm. Truly heavy cream needs to be kept cold in order for it to keep stiff and not risk going bad. The best example is when you go out to eat at a restaurant and order mousse cake, ask yourself is it served straight from the refrigerator cold or is it room temperature? Our buttercream is made with pasturized egg whites so it is room stable. It will never get soft to affect the structure of your cake or risk going bad.
How to I set up my complimentary tasting appointment?
We offer our complimentary tasting appointments Tuesday through Thursday at our Alpharetta showroom from the hours of 11 to 6:30 PM. These are set up by appointment as we do not have a retail storefront. So I will put aside an hour to meet with you one on one to discuss my services and have samples of my work to try. We ask two things to set up your tasting. The first is that our pricing is within the budget you have set for your wedding day cake creation. The prices can be found on our website. The second is that you are having a minimum of 100 guests. We have added this so we did not have to go up a lot with our prices for 2009 dates. Like your experiences at the supermarket, we feel the same pain buying our ingredients from the wholesalers. Many of our items are European based so the dollar is weak againt the Euro and that does not help with prices either. We start booking our services 12 months prior.
