GUEST




Everything was seemless and delicious! My husband and I agree that the cake tasting at Bredenbeck's was the best part of our wedding planning.

That made our day, thank you! We are so glad we could be a part of a memorable experience in your wedding planning. Congratulations again and you are more than welcome to come eat some cake anytime.
GUEST




Absolutely the most perfect wedding cake we could have ever asked for! We had the chocolate chip cake with buttercream icing ---Yum! Even better - Bredenbecks tells you to eat your wedding cake for your one month anniversary so its still fresh and they give you a new cake for your one year anniversary! it was so delish even the second time around! Thank you for specially designing the outside of our wedding cake to stick with our multi-cultural theme! absolutely the best vendor for wedding cakes around!
GUEST




Loved our wedding cake! Bredenbecks did a great job! They were easy to work with, the cake was beautiful and delicious!
GUEST




You know how when you go to a wedding and most of the cake is left uneaten? Well not so with my wedding cake. Chocolate cake with chocolate chambord cream filling for 300 and it is GONE! It was great. My husband is not easy to please when it comes to cake…especially when it comes to the frosting…and we were commenting today how good the cake was, especially the frosting.

We loved our cake from Bredenbecks. We just wanted something simple, elegant and tasty, and the cake was all three. It was delivered on time...and you can't beat their prices.
GUEST




Our cake from Bredenbeck's was amazing. At our free consultation, we were able to taste a wide variety of samples and chose delicious chocolate chip pound with raspberry puree. The consultant took careful notes and made copies of pictures I had brought to be sure the colors and styles were right. We were so happy to see a cake that looked exactly like the sketch from our consultation when we arrived at our reception. The guests were floored by the appearance and taste. The best part is we already ate the top tier the day after our wedding because Bredenbeck's will give us a replica on our 1st anniversary!
GUEST




Our cake was delicious ! In fact I was bummed that I didn't get more of it to take home. I honestly wasn't one of those brides that cared too much about the cake and our venue included it in the package. But, I was really ended up loving the cake :-) We got half chocolate chip and half rasberry. I'm not a huge rasberry fan, but the chocolate chip was amazing ! We will definitely be going back there for future cakes.

OMG our cakes were soooooooooooo good! They have an excusive deal with our reception space so we didn't get to pick the bakery, but I think we would have gone with Bredenbecks even if they weren't the excusive bakery for our reception space. They were so easy to work with and both cakes (wedding cake & grooms cake) came out better than I expected. They also tasted like heaven! When we did our tasting, the cakes were a little dry but I am guessing its hard to have such small fresh portions every every single tasting. Everytime we stopped in the bakery we made sure to take some yummy treats home with us!
GUEST




Great cake and desserts! Scrumptious and we both loved the different flavors and decorations. Your help with our design was appreciated! We had extra left over and ate the next day, too! We are looking forward to our 1st anniversary to eat the topper! Thank you!
GUEST




The cake was beautiful and yummy! Plus instead of eating year old cake we get a small new one from them on our wedding anniversary!
GUEST




I love Bredenbecks...Me and my husband won our wedding cake through this fantastic bakery, and i cant tell you how amazing these people are!! My cake was absolutely beautiful it was exactly how i pictured it from the colors to the butterflies everything was perfect!!! It was such a dream cake i had guests asking if it was a real cake because it was that flawless!!
GUEST




Our wedding cake was AMAZING!!! I still have friends and family making comments about how great it was! It was beautiful & delicious! Very happy!
GUEST




My husband and I are extremely pleased with the services provided by Bredenbeck's Bakery. The staff were pleasant, knowledgeable, helpful, and accommodating. Our cake turned out beautifully and it was delicious! We created our own logo (monogram) and they were able to showcase it on the cake in icing! I would (and have) recommend Bredenbeck's to any bride-to-be. We did quite a bit of research before choosing our vendors, and Bredenbeck's was by far the best value- worth every penny and more! We are looking forward to our anniversary tier!
Vendor response to review
Monica, thank you so much for the kind words and hope life as newlyweds is going great! Your monogram was so fun and creative- it was our pleasure to replicate.
GUEST




Bredenbeck's Bakery was included in our wedding venue package and I couldn't have been happier. Our tasting meeting went smoothly - they copied photos I had brought of ideas and were quick to agree to modifying some of their samples to fit our style. I purchased some 2" ribbon in the color that matched my girls' dresses and dropped it off a few months in advance - no worries - the same ribbon showed up on my cake and the blue frosting matched perfectly to the ribbon and wedding! We had 2 flavors in our cake and everyone raved. I ate 2 pieces and even missed the extra desserts my venue had since the cake was so good! I'm hanging on tight to the certificate for a free 1yr small replica.
GUEST




Our cake was beautiful and tasted amazing. Our tasting was lovely and they modified our cake to our specifications. The only downside is the cake didn't serve as many as they thought it would. We actually had none left. Maybe it was just that good :)Karen & Michael Curtis
GUEST




I had my wedding cake included in my venue price, but I would have gladly paid for it! It was SO pretty! and so good to eat too. Sue is super nice and friendly. I loved talking to her when I did and can't wait to have my year anniversary cake that they give you. So sweet!
GUEST




Yum. That’s all I really have to say. But I’ll say more… Our cake from Bredenbeck’s Bakery was probably one of the best cakes I’ve had in my life. The tasting a couple months before the wedding was both delicious and frustrating because almost all their options are amazing and it was so hard to narrow down. They actually allowed us to choose two different flavors for different layers of the cakes AND made a baby cake in a different flavor (pumpkin) just for my wife and me! How nice! For the wedding we went with lemon cake and butter pound cake which sound simple but were too good to pass up. (The chocolate cake was equally good, but we were already serving a chocolate dessert)As for the design, there were about 10 options on display at their bakery office, but they seemed capable of creating anything if you had a picture/vision. We thought ours was sophisticated and classy, and made a couple minor tweaks to their idea. Going from sugar icing flowers to more intricate gum paste calla lilies did cost $75. But I can’t comment on overall price since the cake was included in our reception package.If you’re the kind of person who thinks a wedding cake is a showpiece, you’ll be impressed. If you’re the kind of person who thinks a wedding cake is a dessert, you’ll be impressed. At Bredenbeck’s your eyes and stomach will thank you later.
GUEST




The cake was absolutley gorgeous AND delicious! I was never big on cakes, I didn't even think I cared...my husband is the one that loved cakes...but when I saw and tasted my wedding cake, i was so happy he worked to get a good cake vendor.
GUEST




We got our wedding cake from Brendenbeck's bakery in Chestnut Hill. We had a raspberry swirl with confectioners icing... it was delicious. Our guests loved the cake! Very flavorful and moist. We had many compliments. We also did plates of mini desserts and petit fours. They were so adorable and delicious! One of our friends enjoyed them so much that she called the wedding venue the following day to find our where the desserts were from. Highly recommend this bakery for your wedding dessert needs or just a great spot for a delicious treat.
GUEST




Bredenbeck's was wonderful to work with. Karen took the time to help us figure out exactly what we wanted, and the cake tasting was great. The cake turned out exactly like I pictured, and they used the ribbon that I wanted around the bottom edge of each tier. I highly recommend the pumpkin pound cake in the fall! We got a lot of compliments on the taste of our cake. They also did our rehearsal dinner/groom's cake, which turned out absolutely awesome. I surprised my husband with a sheet cake with pictures of all of his hobbies (skiing, phillies baseball, etc), and it turned out amazingly. I highly recommend them! An added bonus is that they have great ice cream if you go to their shop!
GUEST




Our wedding cake was included in our reception package from the Meadowlands Country Club and we could not have been more happy with the bakery they chose. Amazing cake! I didn't put too much thought into the cake we chose and selected the 'Elegant' cake from their showroom. I did want them to try and add some 'pizazz' to it by trying to incorporate the colors of the bridesmaids dresses and it came out beautifully! Exquisite actually - I almost hated to cut into it :).
GUEST




wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Easy to work with, beaujtiful cake, great ideas and vision... offerend unique suggestions. would highly reccommend!
GUEST




Bredenbacks did a wonderful job on our wedding cake. It was delicous, beautiful and unique. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding cake bakery.
GUEST




I chose Bredenbeck's because my friend bought her wedding cake from them one year ago and I thought it was delicious. Well, I wasn't disappointed. I ordered a 3 tier square cake, one layer of lemon and 2 layers of chocolate chip. Both were fresh, moist and scrumptious. Karen, the owner, was also a pleasure to work with. Their prices are very reasonable as well.
GUEST




Our cake was beautiful and delicious. We selected and ivory/white icing and marble cake. The whole cake was decorated with gum paste flowers to match the colors of my wedding. The cake was large enough to feed all my guests yet not too big that we had a freezer full of cake leftover. It was perfect!
GUEST




Everyone at Bredenbeck's was friendly and helpful. They were recommended through our reception site and I couldn't have been more pleased with the service. We provided a picture and our cake looked fantastic! It was also delicious!
GUEST




The wedding cake was everything I expected. I was so excited to see the cake when we walked into the reception hall. At the cake tasting, they took time to listen to what we wanted and even drew a picture of what the cake would look like. They were very helpful and very easy to get the cake we were hoping for.
GUEST




Our cake was perfect! It looked amazing and tasted incredible! I would recommend them to anyone! Guests raved about how great the cake was! Even before it was cut they were commenting how great it looked and smelled! We also ordered a bunch of their gourmet cupcakes for the rehearsal dinner and those were so good!
GUEST




We chose Bredenbeck's bakery because they work with our caterer and what a stroke of good luck it was! We drove almost an hour in a snowstorm to meet with someone for a tasting. We considered turning around, but when we called to cancel they assured us they would still be there waiting even if we were late. Right away, I felt comfortable with their kindness and professionalism. But when we walked in (late) I knew without even trying the cakes that we had found our baker. The cakes were delicious even though I generally am not a cake eater; we left with a few boxes of other goodies from the bakery. We chose to serve cupcakes instead of a traditional wedding cake, which were a big hit with our guests. The pound cake, the raspberry and the chocolate were our three choices, which were very hard to narrow down. We got many compliments on the design and uniqueness of our "cake", and our family and friends fought over the leftovers! All in all, the people were a joy to work with, set-up and delivery went off without a hitch and the cake was delicious and adorable. I couldn't have asked for more!
GUEST




Bredenbeck's was one of the preferred vendors at our reception site, and has been the 'go-to' bakery for many special occasions. Our wedding cake was absolutely gorgeous and incredibly delicious - we chose the vanilla chocolate chip sour cream pound cake with chocolate icing - Jess (baker) was very nice and easy going and created exactly what we asked for. We can't wait to have the top layer on our 1 year anniversary! I highly recommend this bakery for your wedding day!
GUEST




I feel incredibly lucky to say that each of my vendors was fantastic. Bredenbeck's was no exception! They made what I can honestly say was the most delicious and beautiful cake (wedding cake or otherwise!) that I have ever seen and tasted. They were wonderful about delivering from a considerable distance, and everything was exactly as discussed and better... No one could top their cake!!
GUEST




Bredenbeck's Bakery is so yummy. Our wedding cake was exactly what we wanted...tasty and pretty! We picked the New Yorker style. Since we got married in October we picked pumpkin and pound cake. Both were outstanding. Our guest loved the pumpkin! We highly recommend using Bredenbecks bakery for your wedding cake and everything else!!
GUEST




BEST CUPCAKES EVER! And we love that anytime we're in Philly we can stop by and share a little wedding day treat:)
GUEST




The cake was beautiful and delicious. I have heard a lot of good feedback from my quests!
GUEST




Bredenbeck's was absolutely fantastic. It was easy to set up a tasting appointment. At that appointment, we really walked through our options, and worked out all the details (that I didn't even know were involved in a cake). The payment schedule was easy, and the cost was not excessive compared to many other neighboring bakers. Some key points for us were: 1) the option for delivery at a reasonable additional cost 2) the attention to detail 3) the ease of communication. I could walk into the store or call any time, and someone could help to address my questions. We asked for an additional sheet cake to be scored to make our favors, and they did this for us graciously.Finally, the cake was DELICIOUS and BEAUTIFUL. We were very happy with the outcome. (Don't tell...we ate our top tier already because it was so delightful!!!)I would recommend Bradenbeck's Bakery highly. And, I will use them again.
GUEST




WoW! The cake that I selected from Bredenbeck's Bakery was beautiful. The cake is the main focal point of a reception. The cake was served for dessert and the guests loved it! I was pleased from beginning to end with my wonderful experience with Bredenbeck's. The staff are all pleasant and Knowledgeable, which is comforting when making such an important purchase. I had the best wedding cake ever!!
GUEST




We went with the New Yorker style wedding cake with light blue ribbon. It looked amazing and tasted absolutely delicious! I would highly recommend Bredenbeck's! They also have a ton of other types of cakes, cookies, and cupcakes!
GUEST
GUEST




The cakes at Bredenbeck's Bakery are delicious. We had our choice of 3 different vendors and the other vendors did not even compare to Bredenbeck's. I gave them a picture of exactly what I wanted and they were able to recreate my wishes. The cake looked amazing and was even more delicious. I cannot wait to eat the top layer on our anniversary. They delivered the cake to my venue, which was at least a 30-45 minute drive. The staff was courteous and helpful and their taste testing was perfect. They do not give too many choices to where you are overwhelmed, but the choices they have are great. I would recommend Bredenbeck's to anyone in the Philadelphia area.
GUEST




My cake was beautiful and absolutely delicious...even 1 year later on our anniversary! They copied the picture I brought in exactly and even made the minor changes I requested perfectly! I recommend the red velvet cake with buttercream icing...plus a hexagon shape is a nice change from the traditional round or square!
GUEST




We loved our wedding cake from Bredenbeck's! The tasting was wonderful and we ended up choosing a few different kinds for the layers of our cake. We also walked in there with no idea what we wanted our cake to look at, but through their display and pictures we came up with a design of our own that we liked. Everyone was very helpful, and the cake turned out to be not only so beautiful, but also delicious. I would highly recommend working with Bredenbecks!
GUEST




Bredenbeck's pretty much let us design our own cake and do whatever we wanted. 90% of the cake was paid for through our reception site. The only additional price we paid for was the sugar flowers we wanted on the cake, just a few calla lillies. They were able to do all the icing in buttercream, even script our name on cake. It was beautiful!
GUEST




We were referred to Bredenbeck's by the Valley Green Inn, where our reception was held. The woman at Bredenbeck's who makes the wedding cakes is an absolute artist. Not only was our cake beautiful, it tasted great as well. They did a great job matching it to our colors. It was difficult to choose the cake because they were all so gorgeous!
GUEST




Our wedding cake was from Bredenbeck's and I couldn't be happier that it was. It was not only beautiful, but also delicious. I have no complaints. Picking our wedding cake was so simple as well. Janelle at the bakery made us feel at ease and it wasn't stressful at all.
GUEST




Bredenbeck's Bakery was great. There were so many choices and all were delicious. They let you taste before you choose. You can do half raspberry swirl and half traditional pound cake if you prefer. They were excellent.
GUEST




YUMMO! We went to Bredenbeck's because their cake services were included with our all-inclusive Blair Mill Inn package. I had never heard of them but boy I am glad I know them now! The tasting was wonderful. We tried 6 different types of pound cake and chose our favorite 2 (lemon & raspberry). They were each OUTSTOUNDING and Bredenbeck's is the only pound cake I've ever had that's not dry. We sat in a room full of designs and chose ours from 3 different cakes. Bredebenck's took our design and turned it into an exquisitely delicious masterpiece. I couldn't have been more pleased with the way the cake looked and tasted. Our guests RAVED about the flavors and everyone commented that the buttercream was the perfect sweetness. We'll definitely be using Bredenbeck's in the future!
GUEST




Our cake was included with our Country Club package, and we were excited that it was!! Before having our consultation at the bakery, we had an idea of what we wanted. During our consultation we were able to see additional options, and taste the cake. The cake was delicious, and my husband and I were each able to get our favorite choices in the layers of the cake. When I saw the cake on our wedding day, I was so excited that it turned out so great. I got to have a bite when we cut it, but never got to the piece at the table. I'm looking forward to our anniversary when we get to get the top tier out of the freezer!!!
GUEST




4 different flavors to choose from, any style you want, any design you could imagine. It was exactly what we wanted and tasted great!!!
GUEST




The cake was beautiful. It was exactly as we designed it and it tasted AMAZING. I had fun at the design session and Karen was very helpful in helping us design the perfect cake. I highly recommend the Raspberry Swirl Pound Cake and Amercian Buttercreme icing!!! Fabulous!!!The cake came as a part of my package with my caterer (Robert Fair Catering in Exton), so we only paid a small fee to upgrade to the Raspberry swirl pound cake. Well worth it!!
GUEST




I had a specially designed cake and Bredenbeck's did a great job of understanding what I wanted and created a beautiful cake.
GUEST




This was the first and only stop we made in choosing our wedding cake -- every flavor we tried was fantastic. I was able to pick several different flavors, along with any design I wanted. The cake turned out beautiful! It was perfect!! I really did not allot a large part of my budget to the cake, and what I got for the cost was far more than I could have anticipated! It looked stunning and tasted delicious!! I have the top teir in my freezer now and can't wait to eat it on our anniversary.
GUEST




This is the preferred bakery with our caterer. We met with them and tasted the cake and loved it. We picked the design we wanted, the flavors we wanted within an hour. We sent them a ribbon that matched our colors, and they made the icing match. Didn't get to taste much of the cake at the wedding, but I am confident it was delicious after our tasting. Plus we got rave reviews!
GUEST




Our Cake was beautiful! It was everything that I had hoped for. We had a fall themed wedding and out cake was covered in pumpkins and leaves in the perfect shades of oranges and reds! The chocolate chip pound cake was sooo good too!
GUEST




The cake was so good! OMG I had my 1 year anniversary and we ate the frozen piece and was still amazed at how good it was. IT was supper moist. I had the Pound Cake with Chocolate Icing. MMmmmmmmm!
GUEST




Our cake was beautiful and delicious! Any design I threw at them, they said was included in their price, no questions asked. And they made the cake just how I drew it. We were beyond happy with them!
GUEST




Simply AMAZING! We have receivied so many comments about how wonderful our cake looked. I can't wait for the 1 yr anniversary so we can eat the top layer. Yummy!
GUEST




They came with my venue package, but I'm so glad they did. The cake was amazing. It was delicious. We even forgot to give them a cake topper and they placed flowers on top without even having to ask. We were happy and delited they took care of the problem proactively.
GUEST




My wedding cake was perfect. It looked exactly how I wanted it to and tasted delicious.
GUEST




I brought a picture of a cake I found in a magazine, and the cake I received not only caught the vision I had but also added my colors and looked even better than the picture!
GUEST




This was an absolutely perfect experience! Testing the cakes was really fun, and upon choosing buttercream, it came just perfectly. Everything about it was gorgeous and delectable.
GUEST




The cake was delivered on time, looked beautiful (just as promised) and was delicious!
GUEST




Our wedding cake was both beautiful and delicious. We picked the Diana design out of their options. We did a taste test and out of many cake options, we chose the butter pound. It was light and fluffy and very sweet. I’m not typically a fan of cake, especially “vanilla”, but this was delicious – the cake was even better than the icing. Our wedding color was royal blue (“Horizon” from David’s Bridal) and I provided the ribbon for them to wrap between the layers. I didn’t expect the icing to be able to get so dark and vibrant to match, but it was nearly perfect. We included a monogram on one of the layers (first initial & first initial) as opposed to the traditional first/last/first that you typically see. We also added white leaves to the flower top to break up the darkness. It was a perfect outcome!
GUEST




We absolutely loved our cake! It was delicious and just what we pictured!
Vendor response to review
Glad we could replicate exactly what you had pictured! Congratulations to you both.
GUEST




Our cake was include with our reception location, and we chose Bredenbeck's from the two recommended bakeries, because we loved the cakes at our tasting. We upgraded to the raspberry flavored cake, everything was fantastic. The design, the style, and most importantly the taste. The cake was not dry and the icing was perfectly sweet.
GUEST




My cupcakes for my wedding were beautiful! I gave them a picture of what I wanted and they got it exactly right! Very delicious too. I would definitely recommend them!
GUEST




I used Bredenbeck's Bakery for my wedding cake, and we can not express how simply beautiful our wedding cake was. I didn't want to cut it. The main cake designer, Diana, understood exactly what I wanted and executed beyond my wildest imagination. I saw the cake and my heart skipped a beat. And to add to that, it was just delicious. The guests all loved it and can't stop talking about how beautiful it was. The whole process with Bredenbeck's was fairly simply, including the free tasting, email communication and changes we made to the design. My only complaint is one minor lack of communication that made a huge impact on me on the day of the wedding. We asked for Red Velvet cake (wedding color was red) and they agreed to split half the cake Red Velvet and half Butter Pound. I was very surprised to find when I cut my cake on the wedding day that there was no red velvet what-so-ever. Turns out, the new recipe is too moist and fluffy that make it difficult to stack. I was never told this. Turns out they brought an additional red velvet round with the wedding cake to make up for the issue, but I was never told this and it went to waste because my venue was not informed it would be coming and did not it was ours. One little email would have gone a long way. If you are looking for a beautiful wedding cake, Bredenbecks is your place. I can not say enough about how amazing the cake was and how beautiful it looked. I wish I could attach a photo! It was just flawless looking and tasting. I'm sure our little mishap does not happen often, and they have offered to compensate us for this with a new cake for my new husband and I to enjoy. I highly recommend this bakery. One tip though-they don't have a parking lot..bring coins for the meter (but don't worry-it's cheap!!)
GUEST




When it came to picking out a wedding cake, I had no idea what I wanted my cake to look like. Jessica at Bredenbeck’s sat down with me to come up with different ideas and even sent me sketches to choose from when I had a hard time envisioning the cake. In the end the cake looked and tasted amazing. We have received many compliments about our wedding cake. I also found them to be very reasonably priced. The price for a basic cake includes all design made in icing, after looking at several bakeries this is the only one that I found that did not charge more for specialty icing designs, such as writing words on the cake and making a swirl design to match my invitations. I would definitely recommend them to a friend and am still thinking about that raspberry pound cake.
GUEST




They were great. The cake looked beautiful and tasted great - and we got compliments on both. They have six or seven flavors and hundreds of designs you can choose from so you can really find something that suits your taste. I was also really impressed by their responsiveness and flexibility - I was planning my wedding from out of town and wasn't planning to do a cake tasting, but I happened to be in town last minute about a month before my wedding, and even though they usually schedule appointments only on certain days of the week, they were able to to find something that worked with my schedule.
GUEST




I would highly recommend Bredenbeck's Bakery. The cake was delicious. The flowers were slightly smaller than I remembered ordering, but overall I loved the look and the taste!
GUEST




I have to admit that we were a little worried about how the cake was going to turn out. We are both military pilots and wanted to incorporate it in our cake. Because we don't live in Philly, many of the ideas went through email. When we went to see the design a week before the wedding, the staff was busy and had to wait for almost 30 minutes. The drawing was a Microsoft paint drawing my father had made and we were told "it would look exactly like that." I became increasingly nervous and sent another picture of what we wanted. The day of the wedding there was a line when people entered the reception room. Everyone was stopping to take a picture of the cake! It was not only what we wanted but executed in a non-cheesy way. Still a classy wedding cake. I realized that maybe the woman's choice of words were only meant to appease me by saying " it will look exactly like this" but she wasn't going to put her name on a cake unless it was perfect. I highly recommend them! However, I would still advise to make sure you are completely clear on every detail that you want.
GUEST




I asked for a quote from Bredenbeck's after receiving an outrageous cake quote from our hotel cater from a cake picture I asked them to replicate. Bredenbeck's came in with a quote of half the price for the same exact cake in the picture. The cake tasted great and they were accommodating to last minute reduction in quantity. This bakery has been in business for a very long time and the quality of their work speaks for itself.
GUEST




The Marriott actually provided our wedding cake through Bredenbeck's. From the moment we had our tasting I knew they would be good. Our wedding cake turned out beautiful and looked exactly how I pictured it. I couldn't have asked for a better bakery handling my cake. They also can do any design that you can imagine. I loved working with them!
GUEST




They designed a cake based off of sketches I did and it turned out to be very beautiful
GUEST




We got our cake from Bredenbeck's through Robert Fair Catering, and I feel so lucky that these two have a relationship. I was planning the wedding from out of state and had very limited time to meet with them for a tasting and consultation, but they were able to move some things around to accommodate my schedule. We got to taste their flavors and view sample cakes. Our consultant was great to work with- she seemed to really have a good grasp on our style and was able to make helpful suggestions. We went with a simple butter poundcake with buttercream icing. The cake was so, so delicious- dense and moist, not too too sweet. It was a beautiful cake, too, made exactly as I had asked. I highly recommend them- easy to work with and amazing cake!
GUEST




We looked at some sample cakes, did a taste test, then drew up what we wanted and they were able to custom make it. The cake turned out very pretty. I did find that they were a bit more expensive than some of the other bakeries we looked into, but went with them because of their reputation.
GUEST




Bredenbeck's is a family tradition...the cake was sooo good people are still calling and emailing about our cake and where I got it from. They were able to match the colors of our wedding perfectly. The services is ALWAYS impectable.
GUEST
GUEST




Their cake is so delicious and won the cake tastings hands down. Their prices have gone up again due to flour, etc rising costs, but I think that might be everywhere, not just Bredenbeck's. We had the chocolate chip pound cake and it was a big hit!
GUEST




Our wedding cake was everything we wanted! Steve did a WONDERFUL job during our cake tasting! Not only was our beautiful but it was delicious! Karen worked w/us although we made a last minute decision. Although a little pricey ... but if you want a bakery and people that cater to the bride & groom then this is the bakery for you!
GUEST




Our cake was gorgeous and tasted fantastic. The process was so easy, we had a tasting, picked the flavors & design and were done! Everyone said how pretty our cake was and delicious it was!
GUEST




Bredenbecks wedding cake was wonderful. We needed sugar free on some of the tiers and they were able to accomodate. Kudos great job
Vendor response to review
So happy you enjoyed your wedding cake! I'm thrilled to see the great review, thank you very much!
GUEST




The cake was DELICIOUS and beautiful. The shape was slightly different then we discussed, but it was so beautifully decorated that I didn't care! Everyone raved about it- I am so glad we decided to serve it along with other desserts and our chocolate fountain. There are so many styles to choose from. We worked with Stephen and he was very polite and helped us focus our thoughts and ideas. I went back there to design a groom's cake (which was equally delicious and moist!)
GUEST




i designed my wedding cake and I MUST SAY ... it probably isn't a bakers dream to have a bride show up with pictures of what they want their cake to look like, bakers are artists...BUT... they were super accommodating and took my vision to beyond! never mind how beautiful the cake looked IT WAS DELICIOUS!!! and super cost effective... this bakery has been around forever, and there is no doubt why... oh and when you go for your tasting GO HUNGRY!!!!
GUEST




The wedding cake tasted awesome and looked very elegant!! Everyone loved it. We got the pound cake with a rasberry swirl. The grrom's cake wasn't exactly what we discussed but it sure tasted great and no one knew any different. I would recommend this bakery for a delicious cake!
GUEST




our wedding cake was absolutely delicious and we got tons of compliments on it! Plus, we had a lot of leftover wedding to bring home which has been kept in the fridge and is still delicious. My only reason for giving three stars for flexibility is that we had to tell them how many people were coming before all of the responses were in, hence the leftover wedding cake. All in all though, excellent cake and the design was gorgeous!
GUEST




Bredenbeck's Bakery provided both a visually amazing and wonderfully tasting cake. They were very helpful and courteous from beginning to end, especially the owner. They had lots of pictures to choose a wedding cake from, or you could bring in a picture and they would help you to create the cake.There are only two things that I would have wished differently (and this is being very picky): First is that they would have also set up the cake displays. They helped to set up the cake the day of, but it is the responsibility of your wedding coordinator to add anything additional (cake toppers and other decorations around the cake). Secondly, I would have also hoped that the cake was a little less expensive. The cake I chose was $5 a slice, and at 300 people, it would have been $1500. In an effort to keep to my budget, I chose to do only a three tier cake that served 100, and then buy two sheet cakes that served about 90 people each. The total with delivery and other charges came out to be $750. At my wedding, it turned out that we had a whole sheet cake left, so I wish I did not end up getting that second sheet cake and saved myself $100. For the most part, the cake came out really well. My guests loved the look and the taste of the cake, and I love looking at the photos of it.

While Bredenbeck's has very tasty treats The wedding cake was not as tasty as their other parties. I looked pretty but the cake was dry and crumbly. I wouldn't recommend them for wedding cake but I would for their sweets table, ice cream and other pastries.

Okay, that saying "you get what you pay for" is the best way I can describe this bakery. I went with Bredenbeck's because they were in my venue's wedding package.The package, which my venue paid for only covered butter cream icing and the bakery's basic pound cake. The icing was not very flavorful (tasted like Crisco) and the pound cake was too dry. In order to have a moist chocolate cake and fondant upgrade and in order to do the design I came up with required some extra money--$450 to be exact (to be added to the package my venue paid for).It all seemed like a lost, depressing cause but my venue came through for us after I complained about the package and said they would reimburse us $300 of the $450 to get the cake we were expecting. BTW--shout out to Pyramid Club for being wonderful.Anyways, once we coughed up the extra $450, the end result looked amazing. It looked like one of the cakes you see on shows like TLC's Cake Boss. I imagine that if we went to Bredenbecks without our venue initially paying and reimbursing us for the cake, the cake would have cost well over $1000 out of pocket. Instead, due to our venue's generosity, it cost us an additional $150. Not too bad.So, yes....cakes from Bredenbeck's are really, really expensive. But, you really do get what you pay for. If you're willing to spend your money, the results will reflect it.On a different note, I found the staff to be courteous and responsive; very professional.

The cake was exactly want we wanted and the guests devoured it! It looked great in the picutes and they have a wide selection.

My wedding cake was pretty, not excatly what I wanted, but it was pretty and delicious!!!
GUEST




The only negative I have was a big one- they will not put a cake topper on the cake for you unless it is a very specific one initial topper! So strange, but it actually turned out to be really annoying since the Country Club almost forgot to put it on.

Was the cake delicious? Yes! Was it beautiful and everything we were promised it would be? Yes! My only complaint, and it's a big one--We live in Texas and I set up an appt with Steven to go over final details of the cake months in advance. He set it up in his calendar for my appointment, confirmed the time and day, said "see you then!" and we were set to go. I drive an hour from my parent's house in the suburbs down to Bredenbecks to meet with him and he never showed up. His poor assistant had to cover for him, saying he was "out of the office". Not a big deal for a local bride, but I flew back to PA from TX days earlier than planned to make time to meet with him face to face (everything at this point was emailing and phone calls), and he didn't even have the courtesy to cancel the appointment or throw me an email to say he wouldn't be able to make it. I was so angry with him. How unprofessional is that? I would not recommend working with Steven Massey....find someone else at Bredenbecks to work with. I flew almost 2,000 miles to be stood up for an appointment about my wedding cake with days until my wedding. Yes, it was delicious, and yes it was everything we talked and emailed about, but where's the professional responsibility? Very disappointed with that interaction, and I hope for future brides it was a random event at Bredenbecks Bakery...for that reason I give low ratings. Not showing up for an appointment like that was a huge no-no.

They are very flexible and accommodating to designs, colors, etc. We scheduled our tasting a bit late, but they were able to squeeze us in. They have a TON of options, and a great portfolio of ideas. The cakes are delicious, too. That said, I have to say that after looking through all of the options, deciding, and dropping off the ribbon, the colors came out a lot brighter than expected, AND, the pattern that was supposed to be on the side of the wedding cake was totally not there--just a plain, smooth cake with a ribbon border and a few flowers on top. You know, the pattern that you kind of take forever to select. I was surprised about that! I was pretty casual about stuff like this, so I wasn't too freaked out or mad, and the cake came with our package deal, so it wasn't like we paid a ton of money separately for it. And the cake looked pretty cool, sort of more modern without the pattern. But, I thought I should mention this because I know that many, if not most, other brides would be extremely peeved about this "oversight".
GUEST




The cake was tasty but I don't think it tasted as fresh as the sample cake we had. I know its baked a day in advance at least but I guess I just prefer a spongey texture, this was more heavy. They're a great bunch to work with and very creative!

We used Bredenbecks for our wedding cake and to provide the desserts for our dessert buffet. The desserts for the dessert buffet were good but they didnt deliver the cookie trays we ordered. I originally wanted a fondant iced cake that looked like it was wrapped with alencon lace with luster dust to give it some shimmer. After our initial consultation I had to call three times to follow up and try to get a price quote. They lost the pictures I gave them at the initial consultation and never received the new pictures I sent them via email. It was after the third call I made to follow up on the quote that I decided to just go with a rather plain cake that was included in our catering package. Each tier was wrapped in chocolate brown ribbon that we had to provide and had a dot pattern at the top of each tier. The cake was good, and overall I would recommend them.

I was given a picture of a beautiful cake and hoped my wedding cake would emulate the picture; it did not look the same. I was not pleased with the overall quality of service and had been passed off by several employees. Each time I called the person, with whom I had been assigned, it seemed as if she was impatient and irritated. This company has been around for a while, but my experience with them was not the best.

We are very surprised to see this review. We thought the cake looked excellent when we sent it out, and we have not been contacted by Rahisha since her wedding. The original picture we were given had a green fondant ribbon, which was replaced by a real silver ribbon by the bride's request, and will change the overall look of the cake. There were 2 people that had worked with Rahisha, in order to get back to her in a timely manner, and when the gumpaste orchid quote was given, we were told they were too expensive and had to await her response. We are left confused and shocked as a staff at Bredenbeck's Bakery.
Great dessert. Great ice cream!! Great people, and a fabulous custom designed wedding cake!!
Bredenbecks does all of our wedding package cakes -- sometimes as many as 100 per year -- they are always fantastic! From tasting to design, they take great care of all of our couples and deliver great work.
Absolutely delicious!
Saw their stylish wedding cake at my client's, Dominique, wedding last year and thought it was so clean and perfect looking! Finally got the opportunity to try out their cake at the Brossman Center Meet and Greet and it was YUMMY! Their cake really taste as good as they look! Highly recommended!
Elizabeth, our Studio Manager, LOVES this bakery. She used to live in Chestnut Hill & would always buy cakes & cupcakes from here because they taste so amazing! The staff is very friendly & the bakery is located in a very nice part of Philadelphia.
I was married September 21,2008 and my cake from Bredenbeck's Bakery was to die for. They captured the essence of our wedding in the cake, not to mention how absolutely delicious it was! I had a great experience with them and will definitely keep them in mind at my next event. Thanks Bredenbeck's!
Several of our brides have ordered their wedding cakes from Bredenbecks because they look good and taste even better.
