Reviews for Buttercream Wedding Cakes

Omg, this is the best bakery ever. We interviewed a few bakeries but this one takes the cake. At the tasting, we were allowed to sample a wide variety of flavors in a low pressure environment. Greg let us peruse their portfolio using an ipad and e-mail him ones that we really liked. They worked with my mom to finalize the order and the cake we received was perfect--it was just what we pictured. Buttercream uses the best ingredients and combines them expertly for a dessert that melts in your mouth. I can't wait for our anniversary so we can have them again. Our flavors included a Lemon/Strawberry Split, and a Strawberry Red Velvet cake.

We recently chose Buttercream for our Wedding Cake and couldn't have been more happy with them! We couldn't decide on what flavor cake to have, so we ended up having three different flavors of cake at our wedding. Buttercream never made us feel like we had to choose something other than what we had wanted or what fit our budget.
All of our guests continue to rave about how fantastic the cake was!
Thank you Buttercream for making our day more unforgettable with a great tasting...

Buttercream made the wedding cake experience magical; the cake tasting was fun and informative and delicious, everyone there was friendly and helpful and finally our cake was gorgeous and scrumptious!
GUEST




My wife and I got married in March. We chose the decor for the cake, and even provided some of it, and it was truly amazing! My wife and I selected a triple level Lemon-Raspberry and Chocolate Baileys. Both flavors we amazing! We can't wait for our anniversaries, we'll make Buttercream a yearly trend! Their staff were very helpful, open, and had the cake on time and setup, we didn't have to worry at all! Only downfall was my nephew's fingerprint on the side of the cake!
GUEST




We were drawn to this company as soon as we tasted the amazing flavors and light frosting. My parents fell so in love with it that they now are ordering at least one round cake a month just to have at home!
We were able to choose from a variety of styles, designs and flavors so our wedding cakes (main and groom's) were individual and...
GUEST




Buttercream cakes are the most amazing desserts ever! Even my husband, who isn't a sweet eater, couldn't stop himself from working through every sample at the tasting. The cake was beautiful, delivered on time and set up perfectly. And they even let us provide ribbon and an edible decal to personalize the cake. We highly recommend these cakes.
GUEST




We were referred to Buttercream from the St. Paul College Club. We requested a cinnamon roll inspired cake. In response, Buttercream created a white cake with a cinnamon frosting. It was absolutely fantastic! In addition, we chose the Bailey's Chocolate cake. We had a simple, yet elegant cake that would totally "us" and was reasonable in price. Our guests raved about the cake!
GUEST




The cake looked and tasted great. We had chocolate lovers and carrot cake (the carrot cake was my favorite). They even allowed me to buy my own ribbon for the cake, which saved a little money.
GUEST




My wedding cake from Buttercream was amazing. It was beautiful and the best cake I have ever eaten! Everyone loved it!
GUEST




We worked with Buttercream for our reception and are SO glad we did! We chose to have cupcakes and they were not only gorgeous, but absolutely delicious! Another detail that is worth noting is the size of the cupcakes! They weren't your average little cupcake. They were a very good size and our guests just loved them! We also rented the cupcake tree, which made the whole look come together exactly how we envisioned it! I would highly recommend Buttercream to anyone looking for the perfect cupcake at their wedding reception!
GUEST




Ohmahgawwwwd. The cakes were fabulous. Seriously. Buttercream knows their stuff, and it shows. From our tasting, to deliver the day-of, they were so great to work with. We had three cakes (all different/frosted differently) and they were all incredible. We got SO many compliments on the cake, and I think our photographer even gave them a mention on her blog they were so fabulous! We had a delivery set-up, and they were on-time (and somehow managed to find our venue, which was in the middle of nowhere in WI!), so helpful, and got the cakes set up perfectly.
Thank you so much!!!
GUEST




I can't believe how wonderful the entire experience of working with Buttercream has been!
WOW!
Each individual, and particularly Greg and Rachel, have been so great from beginning to finish! They are friendly, inviting, extremely knowledgeable, and extremely fun to work with.
From the first moment you start planning out the cake through the picking up of it, everyone has a smile and so did I!
Whenever I had a question, whether through phone/email/stopping in, they were never too busy to help me tweak out the details or switch something up....which truly speaks to their impecible level of commitment and service to ensure every product they make for every event goes off without a hitch!
Although their products are more xpensive than buying somethign from Wal-Mart, they are worth every cent they charge. I cannot imagine eating any other cake from any other vendor. Their cakes are simply superior in every single imaginable way to any other cake I have had in my entire life. The flavors they offer are both wide-ranging and delicious! The decorating can range from simple/tasteful to wildly beautiful and ornate, depending on the mood of the event and what suits you best.
To put it simply, you owe it to yourself, your guests, and your event to visit with Greg and Rachel down at Buttercream to design the best tasting and best looking cake you can get!
You won't regret it :-)

Ultimately, Buttercream makes an excellent cake, but the customer service at the Minnetonka location left something to be desired. We had a problem with an employee there regarding the ribbon for our cake. We were told at the tasting that we would have to provide our own ribbon (4 yards, neither wired/sheer, not wider than 7/8"). When I asked my florist if she had any ribbon I could use, she told me she'd sent ribbon to Buttercream several times before, but a 1 5/16" and had never heard of this 7/8" rule. I called Buttercream (St. Paul location) and was told it wasn't a strict rule, but more of a suggestion (it was definitely not a suggestion when we were told).
When I brought the ribbon to the Minnetonka location, this same employee was working and I was rudely told that the satin florists ribbon I had was unacceptable and he wouldn't accept it. I politely told him that my florist had sent this very same ribbon to them for previous weddings and asked why it wouldn't work now. He grabbed some sample ribbon and said if my ribbon didn't feel like those, he wouldn’t take it - end of story and no explanation. I finally went to the St. Paul location to talk with their decorator, who actually explained to me exactly what the issue was and didn't talk down to me like a child. She said they could use it, but prefer not to as the frosting could seep through. She then told me that she had ribbon that matched our color that she could use, which we had NEVER been told! Never in our initial meeting/tasting did I ever suggest that I for some odd reason wanted to provide my own ribbon (heck, I'd have preferred less work!) - I was simply told that I would have to if I wanted ribbon on my cake.
Our cake turned out beautiful and it tasted awesome, but if you choose to book with them, I’d HIGHLY recommend dealing only with their St. Paul location. Everyone there was awesome and very professional. If you don't, prepare yourself for a lot of run around and hassle.
GUEST




Amazing cake and beautiful also. Just what we asked for. We received so many compliments on it
GUEST




We used Buttercream Cakes for our recent wedding. We got a two tier wedding cake and then sheet cakes in a lemon/fresh raspberry flavor. The cake was absolutely delicious the night of the wedding, and still is 5 days later :) It was decorated beautifully and exactly how we had asked for. The staff slipped in and slipped out to set it up during our social hour without my husband or I knowing, so set up must have gone okay!
Luckily, our day was cool and so no worries about heat. That being said, the staff were great to connect with throughout the process on having a backup plan in case it was a hot...
GUEST




I had a great experience with Buttercream. The worst part was having to choose just 2 flavors out of all of their choices....they're all great! I loved how the design came out, and they worked with my florist to have flowers put on the cake. Would definitely recommend.
GUEST




We are very happy that we went with Buttercream Cakes for our wedding cake. Our cake turned out beautiful, and it tasted amazing! We went with cheesecake and cookies & cream cake. Delicious!!
GUEST




Our wedding cake was amazing! We had the s'mores and almond praline cakes and we were very pleased with how they turned out--they were both moist and flavorful. And the cake was beautiful. We had a three-tiered (square) cake that was all white. Buttercream allowed us to provide our own ribbon that matched out theme and they added it to the trim of the cake. I still believe that our wedding cake was the best wedding cake I've ever had.
GUEST




YUM! We loved our wedding cake, our tasting, and how flexible Buttercream was! They delivered and set up our cake right on time, they have many flavors, and our photographer even said our cake was the best she had ever tasted! They are reasonably priced and we recommend them to everyone!
GUEST




Cake was beautiful! And it was just as amazing!!! My sister used them as well and I wouldn't go anywhere else! Can't wait to celebrate the 1year!!
GUEST




Our cake turned out just the way we wanted it. We had the Choco Razz flavor which was several layers and SO pretty on the inside. I highly recommend Buttercream Cakes to anyone!
GUEST




Hands down, buttercream makes the best cake you will ever taste. Just ask the guests at my wedding that ate 3, 4, and 5 pieces each - and my groom and I didn't get our own slice! Have your caterers set aside some slices for you if you go with this vendor, it is that delicious! That said, if you insist on having the most amazing decorations, get your wallet ready. They will upcharge you significantly for any custom design; ask to see their binder that has lots of free design options, if you're not too picky like I wasn't, you'll find something that is just fine and have your florist add some decor.
My mouth is watering thinking about this cake.....oh yes, and they will make you a "free" cake on your 1 yr anniversary, they advise not to save the top layer of your wedding cake for this...
GUEST




DELICIOUS! WE ordered a 2-tier cake and 115 cupcakes and they were amazing! Multiple guests asked where we got them. The frosting is so good and not overly sweet like fondant and other frosting. We ordered the carrot, lemon sunshine, and Bailey's Chocolate flavors.
GUEST




Buttercream really provided us with an amazing cake. Everyone really loved both the flavors, but especially our 2nd flavor Amaretto Mousse!
GUEST




We did a variety of cupcakes and then had a small cake for the bride and groom to cut. The cake/cupcakes tasted absolutely amazing! Everyone loved them and liked that there was a variety to chose from. Highly reccomend!
GUEST




Buttercream cake is fabulous! The designed it exactly as we wanted it. We ran out if cake which is my only complaint, but says a lot about how good it was!
GUEST




Our venue only allowed us to buy a cake from Buttercream, so from the beginning I felt restricted. Their specialty is buttercream frosting, which is fresh and light, but it was still too thick of a layer for me. The cake part was nothing special, I would compare it to a cake you can make out of the box. The most disappointing part was the amount of strawberries used. It was supposed to be a layer of fresh strawberries in between the layers, and many pieces had none! If I knew this would be the case I would have paid extra or something, because that was my favorite part about the cake. I failed to see their quality since I am not a big fan of frosting, even if it is light and fluffy.
GUEST




The cake was wonderful! And the set up was beautiful! We had nothing but compliments.
GUEST




We had Cake Shooters and Mini-Cheese cakes. Buttercream made the most delicious deserts for us, they set up our cake and delivered it. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They did some custom stuff for us that we really appreciated. I would highly recommend them.

Excellent cakes & wonderful staff to work with! We got so many compliments from our guests at our wedding about how good the cake was. Highly recommend this vendor!
GUEST




Our wedding cake was beautiful and delicious. We had the Madison design with hand painted polka dots that matched our wedding colors. We chose bailey's and chocolate, white cake with the strawberries and lemon curd. Our guests loved both flavors. We would highly recommend Buttercream St. Paul to anyone.
GUEST




The flavor of the cake is amazing! Can't wait until our first anniversary, as I intend on ordering another small tier to celebrate. On the business end, they were helpful in fitting our budget. Also, they worked hard with me (aka. numerous emails) to find the best decoration for our cake, which again fit our budget. Only issue we had was when calling to double-check the details and discuss delivery vs. pick-up. The lady on the phone was rude and even hung up on me after I said we were to pick-up the cake. We chose to pick up our cake, as they charge $50 for delivery service. Other than this little quib, we were highly satisfied.
GUEST




I am so happy with how my wedding cake turned out and it tasted phenominal! The planning folks were super accomodating at the tastings and the final product was everything I dreamed of. Not to mention all the complements on the great taste!
GUEST




The cake was AMAZING. We helped design our cake to match our wedding theme and it turned out better than we expected! Not only was the cake beautiful but DELICIOUS! My maid of honor stated that it was "like eating a cloud".
GUEST




The cake we ordered was both beautiful and delicious. Our guests went back for seconds. I changed our design preferences slightly a week before our wedding date and they graciously accommodated the request. We loved our choice and will absolutely be getting a one-year anniversary cake from them. We ordered the Raspberry Royale and Bailey's Irish Cream.
GUEST




Our wedding cake was sooo delicious!! I got so many compliments on the chocolate lovers flavor! I would definitely recommend Buttercream to anyone, they have a lot of great flavors and designs to choose from!
GUEST




The staff at Buttercream were great to work with. The cake was beautiful and so yummy!!
GUEST




Buttercream makes amazing cakes. Anyone should consider them for their wedding cakes -- or anything cake related, really. The cake tasting was great and they created the perfect cake for our wedding. It looked great and tasted amazing!
GUEST




Cake was good, but very pricey.
GUEST




Hands down there is no cake out there that tastes better than Buttercream! (Trust us, we went all over the Twin Cities eating cake and no one came close!) I was hesitant at first because I knew how good they were so I thought they would be expensive, but they turned out to be priced better than most other vendors. We will definitely be using Buttercream the next time we need a cake for any occasion!
GUEST




We decided to go with cupcakes instead of a traditional wedding cake. Being that we used Lancer Catering, it was easiest to go with Buttercream for our cupcakes. They were very responsive whenever we contacted them. The cupcakes tasted amazing! The service was not exemplary though. Sometimes when we would call we would get different answers when we tried to confirm things. When we went in for our cupcake tasting, they couldn't find the file we started and we had to go through all of our information again. However, they do take a lot of pride in their cupcake. While delivering our cupcakes to the reception, some of them were damaged in transport. They immediately called the bakery and got replacement cupcakes made. The cupcakes were there without anyone really noticing that some where missing.
GUEST




I was very happy with our buttercream wedding cake. We chose two different flavors: white cake with raspberry filling, and chocolate cake with bailey irish cream filling. We received lots of compliments and ended the night with very little cake left! Now we just have to wait a year to get our complimentary cake tier!
GUEST




Our wedding cake was amazing--exactly what we wanted!! We had three different flavors and each was delicious. They were very easy to work with and flexible with our schedules.
GUEST




Buttercream (and Greg) are great and easy to work with! The cake was delicious and beautiful!
GUEST




After visiting many other cake shops in the Twin Cities, Buttercream was our cake of choice for our wedding and rehearsal dinner. We were amazed with their light butter cream frosting and use of natural and quality ingredients. They offered us many different options for our cake and were willing to make any design we desired. For our rehearsal dinner cake, they created a custom Twizzler cake for my candy loving husband.
The staff was friendly and professional and offered unique suggestions for creating our ideal design. The outcome was a beautiful, unique and delicious cake! Our guests from all over the country are still raving about how our wedding cake was the best cake they’ve ever had at a wedding!
GUEST




Great tasting cake, we received comments about it all night, and for weeks afterward. It was a bit hard to contact them about last minute details, they wouldn't call back when I would leave a message, but overall great tasting cake.

Amazing! Our venue has a contract with them, so they turned out to be the most affordable for us. But even if they weren't, we still would have gone with them. They're SO good. They are priced just a little higher than some of the other options we looked at, but worth every penny. Super yummy with lots of different options. Even though I was sick with an awful cold at our tasting, I still could not get enough of the cake--and I'm not even really a "cake person." The Amoretto was my favorite. Great customer service, great set-up, great presentation, great business, great everything! Thanks so much!
GUEST




This was the easiest vendor to select, as they have been the cake vendor at a lot of other weddings I have attended, so I was definitely excited to have them at my wedding! They are very consultatative, as we spent a long time reviewing pictures with them and I feel that they helped me design my dream wedding cake!
GUEST




The cake was delicious. The tasting really made up for some bad tastings. However delivery was very expensive so you may want to plan to have the cakes delivered another way.
GUEST




Our Buttercream cake was sooo delicious, we had many guests asking for more!
GUEST




Best cake ever! Everyone thought is was fondant because it looked flawless, but then they received their slice and realized that it was not fondant but, nummy buttercream frosting that is not sugary, but actually delicious. The cake tasting was also amazing, so much cake to choose from. The cake looked amazing and better yet, tasted amazing!
GUEST




Yes, overpriced, but I think worth it. It tastes amazing!
They do have communication problems in the company, which is weird for the "best" cake bakery in the Twin Cities.
Our cake did not turn out exactly as we asked, but their improvisations were very well done. Everyone complimented us on it.
GUEST




Very good cake. They designed it custom to exactly what we wanted and even threw in a few extra small cakes. They even added the flowers to it for no cost. It was delicious. The variety of flavors was impressive!
GUEST




The cake was decorated just as we asked. They did have the flavors down wrong when they called to confirm a few weeks before the wedding day, but on the day of they had everything correct which is what matters! We got many compliments on the cake.
GUEST




I decided to get a cake last minute, and buttercream was great! They'd made my dream cake happen last minute!
GUEST




Our cake was beautiful and tasted amazing. Our initial consultation was with Greg. He listened to our thoughts and provided suggestions. He reminded me a lot of Randy on "Say Yes to the Dress"- very professional and diplomatic. My godmother made glass flowers to place on the cake and Buttercream worked with her to ensure that the glass pieces were placed properly. Normally I don't like cake, but I love the taste of Buttercream. It isn't overly sweet. I just picked up my anniversary cake today. We can't wait to enjoy it this weekend. I will definitely be ordering my cakes from Buttercream in the future. They are very affordable and taste delicious!
GUEST




The cake was to die for....It was exactly what we wanted and guests couldn't stop talking about how good it was :)
Thanks David and Renee!
GUEST




Buttercream provided the greatest cupcakes for our wedding. They were much bigger than I thought they would be. Our guests couldn't stop talking about the great choice of flavors we had ( almond praline, baileys Irish cream, raspberry, and carrot cake). They only problem we had was in the payment (my credit card was charged twice so I had to pay a double charge right before the wedding). Overall, the quality of the cupcakes outweighed the problem with payment.
GUEST




easy, professional, affordable and most importantly tasted wonderful!!! we had 4 different flavors of cake and everyone loved them all!
GUEST




Our tasting was very professional, and our cake was amazing. It was beautiful and tasted great-- everything that one could want from a wedding cake. Our guests especially loved the chocolate (we had carrot cake, too).
GUEST




Our wedding cake was great! Everything from the design to the taste of the cake was great! The main thing I want to comment on is that the communication was not the best. Emails were not responded to and things seemed to not have been recorded the first time we chose type of cake, ribbon color, etc. Thankfully I had a copy of everything but I thought it was quite odd they didn't have this documented well. They called me twice asking me the color and size of the ribbon and I also had emailed them the info. It just didn't seem like they had it all together..
It is expensive cake but it is very good. There are limitations regarding design since they only use buttercream frosting and cannot do colored frosting.. but I think its worth it, our cake looked fabulous.
GUEST




Their cake was amazing! They were very helpful throughout the entire process, from tasting to delivery. I would recommend them to everyone. All our guest absolutely loved the cake and told me many times after our event how delicious it was!
GUEST




cake was fabulous - it looked just the way i wanted it to with my florist providing fresh flowers - it was delectible - the frosting was so light and airy but stayed in your mouth the right amount of time - and the filing was all to die for.
GUEST




my bride and i tried 5 bakeries ,buttercream was the last stop and what a difference, we tried 12 flavors everyone was delicious, so many guests asked where we got the cake from commenting it was the best cake they had ever had!

GUEST




WORST EXPERIENCE YET! OVERPRICED, UNPROFESSIONAL AND POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE! Did a search for bakeries in Eau Claire and found ButterCream. However, cake tasting was not available in the Eau Claire location on weekends. Travelled to the Stillwater, MN location only to have a small sampling of flavors to taste, an unprofessional consultant, upcharges galore ($33 for brown accents on cake, $77 for hexigon shape cake, rental for a cake stand $59, delivery $134) location was a loft in a coffee shop, cake models were cracked and shredding, cost was ridiculous $5.99 a slice, taste was ok. DON'T DO IT!!!!
GUEST




I first had Buttercrean cake at my sister's wedding and it was by far the best cake I ever had. I had so much fun at the tasting and ended up picking out 3 different flavors (one for each layer). I got so many compliments on our cake at the reception, both on the look and taste. I also had a guest with severe peanut allergies and they were able to assure me that the cake would be safe for her to eat. I would highly recommend Buttercream!
GUEST




I wish they're styles to choose from in the bakery and in the pictures online were more modern and unique but I came in with my own ideas after finding some pictures online and they made it happen perfectly! I got a few comments at the reception for how tasty our cake was!
GUEST




Our cake from Buttercream was beautiful and tasted great. Our only concern with the company was that they did not seem to have very good communication. We received several calls regarding our cake, after we spoke with someone just a few days prior. We even went to the store to finalize our cake details, then the same person we met with called us the very next day asking us to come in to go over our cake.
GUEST




The taste of their cakes are great, they know they're good but a bit too pricey. I had a really simple 3 tiered cake and paid $700 for it.
GUEST




Hands down the best wedding cake I've ever had! Not too sweet and very moist throughout!
GUEST




Excellent flavored cake. Greg and staff are easy to schedule tastings with. Price was high, but anything wedding has a significant mark up. Great cake!
GUEST




Absolutely the best there is. From fresh ingredients to an uber moist cake, beautiful finishes to the friendliest staff, you can't beat the Buttercream Collection!!
GUEST




This cake is awesome. We received so many compliments on our cake. Best wedding cake I have ever had, and so many different selections. We had white cake with amaretto mousse and chocolate cake with bailey's mousse.
Minor irritants - Staff was reluctant to provide us with an additional fully decorated cake, instead of a sheet cake, even though we were required to pay the same price per slice by their contract with our reception location. They ultimately did provide this for us. Also, the contact who was responsible for getting our final headcount was unreachable by telephone and claimed I had not provided a final headcount although I left it on her voicemail after I was unable to reach her by telephone.
GUEST




They were able to make a cake to both my husband and I's different tastes. We had our wedding colors included and a huge cake with a fountain and bridges. They made two different flavors that were both extremely delicious. They are a little pricey, but definitley worth the cost. Better than most cakes we had tried!
GUEST




The most delicious wedding cake I have ever had and I am not just saying that because it was my wedding cake. Could not get enough and had several compliments on it as well. They had a deal with our reception hall so we just had to pay a little extra for some detailing on the cake. They don't do fondant or colored icing which is the only negative but otherwise I highly recommend it.
GUEST




Our cake was fantastic! This was one of the parts of the planning process I was looking the most forward to. I had another friend who had used Buttercream, so I knew that this was who I was going to use. I wish I could have used more colors, but I understand that is how they maintain a really great quality product. A++++ I wish I could have it everyday!
GUEST




Perfect in every way!! Loved the taste testing experience. The knowledge and understanding. We felt very welcomed. We loved the end product of our wedding cake. It was everything and more and at a wonderful price!! Thank you so much for making our day special!
I have had the pleasure to put Fresh Flowers on Many of Buttercream's cakes! Always fresh and beautiful! They pay attention to every detail! (and they taste Amazing!) Love working with them !
Twilight's Edge Photography connected with Buttercream Wedding Cakes on WeddingWire. We have shot quite a few weddings (we have been shooting since 1994) that featured Buttercream Wedding Cakes and would highly recommend their cakes! We have even purchased their cakes for our own personal events! Check them out on WeddingWire and Facebook. They have locations in Minnetonka and St. Paul.
We used Buttercream for our own wedding several years ago and continue to recommend them to our clients. Their cakes are amazing!
I have worked hundreds of weddings with Buttercream. Their cakes are scrumptious. I have keen taste buds and there are never weird fillers or oils in the subtle and delicious frostings, fillings and cake itself. I also have been behind the scenes at their kitchens and met their cake designers who take pride and care in creating each and every one. My family demands a Buttercream cake for every get-to-gether. Once they tasted Buttercreams, they now never want anything else.
Love working with buttercream and their cakes are amazing!
Buttercream always delivers when it comes to cakes and desserts. All the guests always gush about how tasty their desserts are and how beautiful they look. They are very professional and easy to work with and will stay until everything is perfect!
"Some of the best cake I have EVER had!" Working with Buttercream Wedding Cakes while I was a Catering Sales Manager and Banquet Manager in Minneapolis/St. Paul area, I was always impressed with the attention to detail, price and customer service. I would love to work with Buttercream Wedding Cakes anytime!
