Reviews for Cocoa & Fig
GUEST




I had a mini dessert bar and my wedding and one small 6" cake. Everything was delish! Yes, get the desserts, everyone will have something they love. Cake is overrated!
GUEST




Cocoa & Fig are fantastic! As soon as we walked into their office (that felt more like a home) and met Joe, we were won over. Everything Cocoa & Fig stands for fit our personalities and our vision for the wedding to a "t." Their baked goods are seriously too die for, the most flavorful, moist, decadent desserts I have ever tasted. And not just one of them was good, they all were. They were so good we ended up going with a dessert bar/table which included pudding shooters, macarons, mini cupcakes and cupcake pops. They also paid attention to all the little details, incorporating our colors wherever they could and the dessert labels were also in the same pattern we used for our table place cards! Everyone, including our photographer was impressed with the table! One of my good friends was disappointed when he saw that we didn't have a cake (he's a big pie and cake person), but once he took a bite out of one of the cake pops he ecstatic to have the dessert table! He too was won over! Thank you Cocoa & Fig team for providing such excellent service and a fabulous dessert table for our special day that everyone will remember!

What a joy it was to work with Cocoa & Fig! They were responsive to emails and made the process so easy. They captured our vision in the cake perfectly! we absolutely loved the design! People kept asking us if it was fake it looked so good. Not to mention the cake itself which, if you've ever had Cocoa & Fig cupcakes, you know is absolutely delicious! I would definitely recommend Cocoa & Fig for your wedding cake. I have nothing but good things to say about them!!
GUEST




Even though the owners got married the weekend before our wedding, they worked to accommodate us and get our cupcakes and sweetheart cake ready for our wedding. The cupcakes were a hit and they looked gorgeous as well. The black velvet was by far the favorite!
GUEST




Our cake and cupcakes were amazing! Everyone was easy to work with, and glad to share ideas with us. Even though our cake was pretty simple in appearance, we got tons of compliments!
GUEST




We were very impressed with the selection and service! Our cake was perfect!

No one compares. I am seriously speechless! The desserts are delicious. The flavors are outstanding. Every guest was complimenting the caramel salted macaroons. A week later people are still messaging me on facebook saying "i want more macaroons!" GO TO COCOA&FIG! We cant wait to have children, because i want to have cocoa&fig at every birthday party....

Cocoa & Fig provided the cupcakes for our wedding and they were delicious! We had set up a number of cupcake tastings in hopes of finding the most delicious cupcake for our reception. We had gone to a few places and had not been overly impressed. They were dry or had too much frosting on them. We were a little surprised when we set up the tasting with Cocoa & Fig that we had to pay $35 for the tasting (as the other tastings had been free) and had to drive out to Shakopee. Our thought was, these cupcakes better be good! And they were! They were so, so, so good, above and beyond any of the other cupcakes we had tasted and we got to taste like 6 different flavors and a few other types of desserts as well. $35 well spent to find the best cupcakes in the city.
Joe and Laurie were also so easy to work with, flexible, kind and helpful. When we met with Joe, he took the time to get to know us and ask about our event. People loved our cupcakes and we would definitely work with them again and recommend them to family and friends.
GUEST




We decided we wanted cake pops at our wedding but our cake vendor did not make them, so we started looking elsewhere. We got the recommendation from our venue, who had worked with them before, and we loved them! We drove down to Shakopee for a tasting and everything was delicious. We agreed on different flavors and amounts and they delivered them to our venue in Uptown with no problem. They were the first things gone that night, I barely got one!
GUEST




We used Cocoa & Fig for a dessert table at our wedding. They made a small cake for us to cut and supplied a dessert table for 150 guests. They make outstanding mini cupcakes, cakepops, shooters, macaroons etc. To this day we are still getting comments about how great the dessert table was.
GUEST




Oh My, where do I begin. Laurie THANK YOU so much. Our cake design was beyond amazing, we loved it and loved working with you and Joe. You are very easy going and laid back, just like us and we loved it. Everyone at our wedding requested your information, and we happily gave it to them. Laurie did an amazing job on my bridal shower cake as well. I wanted to match my bridal shower invitation designed, and Laurie delivered. We have been long term clients of Cocoa & fig, and will continue this relationship. THANK YOU LAURIE & JOE
GUEST




I loved working with Joe & Laurie!
We did a dessert bar for our wedding reception and it was AMAZING. Two different types of cupcakes, cake pops, banana shooters and a banana cake for us! Everything was beautifully set up, and gobbled up by our guests.
They were also willing to adjust our numbers in the weeks before the event, and do a special birthday cheesecake for a niece who was turning 15 that day. (needless to say, she was thrilled!)
Can't wait to use them again for other events in our future.
GUEST




Laurie and Joe were great! Right away at the initial tasting they were very responsive and made us both feel very comfortable. They were very willing to work with us on flavors and design (even after we changed our minds). I bake a lot of wedding style cakes, so quality ingredients were really important to me; Cocoa and Fig cakes are superb. Many of our wedding guests commented on how delicious our cake was. They were prompt for delivery and billing, and the cake looked stunning. I would use them again in a heartbeat.
GUEST




Amazing eye for detail and delicious desserts. We had Laura and Joe create our dessert table with tiramisu and banana pudding shooters, fruit tarts, cake pops, peanut butter pops, and babycake cupcakes. Our table looked so impressive and the desserts tasted like perfection. We had them make a small cake for us and they even made a replica of our monogram to put on it. The cakes were so unique in a hexagonal shape! The satisfied my biggest request which was to have amazing desserts at my wedding! Everyone loved them! And not to mention that they are just fantastic people to work with!
GUEST




Joe and Laurie and Cocoa & Fig were a joy to work with! The cake was probably the most fun and easy part of our wedding planning. They took in lots of ideas that were all over the place and came back to us with exactly what we were looking for but couldn't quite picture beforehand. It was unique, fresh, fun, and exactly us. Our wedding cake was perfect. Our guests couldn't stop commenting on how fun it was and how delicious it tasted. We also loved the yummy and adorable shooters and assorted desserts!
In addition to making our wedding day extra sweet, Cocoa & Fig catered breakfast for our gift opening the next morning. Aside from bending over backwards to meet our needs on the 4th of July, Joe & Laurie made us a delicious spread of foods.
I know it seems unlikely that they could be so perfect--but there is honestly nothing more I could have asked them for! A must for any MN wedding!
GUEST




After meeting Laurie I was done cake tasting- her baking/desserts are DELICIOUS. She is the best of the best in the Twin Cities. The dessert table and wedding cake she designed for my wedding were everyone's favorite. My friends and family members have already ordered custom cakes, visited her store downtown for goodies, as well as the farmer's market. THANK YOU LAURIE AND JOE- for making my wedding even SWEETER!!!!
GUEST




Laurie and Joe at Cocoa & Fig were great to work with! They made planning our wedding cake fun and stress free. Our consultation was very informative and we were able to taste a lot of flavors and see pictures of other cakes they did to get some ideas for ours. I brought in some pieces of our wedding decor and they made our cupcake tier to match or wedding decor. It was beautiful and all of our guests loved the cupcakes!! I would recommend Cocoa & Fig to to all my friends!! Thank you Laurie and Joe!
GUEST




Simply put, Cocoa & Fig is AMAZING! Laurie and Joe are true professionals; helpful, flexible, creative and reliable. Each of the desserts they provided us was exceptional and the custom R2-D2 wedding cake they cooked up was absolutely stellar! HIGHLY recommended!
GUEST




Cocoa & Fig is amazing! We had a wonderful time at the tasting, and got a great feeling for all they had to offer. We went with a combination of mini cupcakes and fruit tarts for each table, and the designs were beautiful. Laurie is so talented! We received many compliments on how flavorful the desserts were, and I only wish my husband and I would have been able to indulge in a few more of the desserts! I would highly recommend Cocoa & Fig to anyone who is looking for beautifully decorated, delicious, and reasonably-price desserts.
GUEST




I can't recommend Cocoa & Fig highly enough! If I could give them more than 5 stars, I definitely would. Our entire experience with them was phenomenal.
We were having a tough time finding a baker who could make a high-quality vegan cake. Laurie was so open and accommodating. When we went in for our consultation, she had made a variety of different flavors of vegan cake and vegan frosting for us to try. She led us to the tasting area, where she had laid out separate tasting plates for each person, with pretty little placemats and pre-labeled note-taking sheets. I was extremely impressed by her organization and preparedness. She also invited us to tour her kitchen, which was absolutely immaculate.
Laurie allowed us to custom-design our cake, and was totally flexible with our requests. The end result was exactly what I had imagined--she really brought our ideas to life. Of course, the cake was also delicious! We served two different flavors, and the guests raved about both of them. No one had any idea that the cakes were vegan. I wouldn't hesistate to use Cocoa & Fig for all my future cake-baking needs.
GUEST




Laurie is an amazing baker! Not only did we get our wedding cupcakes from her, but we also did rehearsal dinner cupcakes as well. It all turned out perfectly as envisioned!
GUEST




Cocoa & Fig is a hidden GEM! We were blown away by the quality of their ingredients, attention to detail, and professionalism. Compared to our other cake tastings, we left Cocoa & Fig knowing we would definitely go with them. Pricing was comparable and they were completely flexible with how they would design the cake and the flavors we would include. Loved, loved, loved them - and the cake was highly raved about at our reception! Thanks Laurie & Joe!
GUEST




We used Cocoa and Fig for our wedding this past summer with mixed luck. We very much enjoyed our tasting and consultation with Joe and Laurie, and their cakes are gorgeous and the ingredients are top-notch. However, we had a bit of trouble with their organization (at one point it was clear that the counts for our cupcakes had been misplaced, as I was personally called and asked for these numbers again as if they hadn't already been decided on) and management of details. I requested that my cake be made without fondant, as I personally prefer just a buttercream frosting, and my 3-tiered cake showed up at my reception hall covered in fondant! It was stunning and made for beautiful photos, but I was disappointed that it wasn't quite right. Lastly, and probably most importantly, they did not bill us until days before the new year! I received an e-mail stating that they had overlooked our billing around the time of our wedding, and would now be charging the balance to the card they had on file (6 months late!). When I inquired about a discount of any sort to remedy the situation, they simply stated they were unable to do so. I know they are a new business, and are probably still working out some of the kinks, but it would have been nice to be compensated in some way for the inconvenience.
GUEST




Laurie & Joe of Cocoa & Fig do a WONDERFUL job. We had so much fun at the tasting, and we loved that there were so many combinations of icings and cakes to choose from. We ended up having a cupcake tower (a great way to cut out cake-cutting fees!) and so we were able to offer our guests 3! different flavors to choose from. They created the tower to match our theme, and they even included a top layer angel food cake (the bride's favorite) that was decorated to match our invitations. We even were able to freeze the leftovers and have enjoyed the cupcakes since! We found out after the big day that they had two other weddings in other parts of the metro area and we were impressed that they made all of the deliveries and set-ups themselves. Another great thing is that on your one year anniversary, they will make your a complimentary fresh cake to have to celebrate! We also asked them to include breakfast pastries in our order for us to have at our gift opening the next morning. Cocoa & Fig does not disappoint!
GUEST




Cocoa & Fig is willing to work with all your ideas to give you the wedding cake of your dreams. If you are unsure of a bakery I would highly suggest Cocoa & Fig because guests at my wedding actually said how "delicious" the cake was compared to other weddings that they had been to.
GUEST




I would recommend Cocoa & Fig to anyone hosting an event of any kind. They use only the best ingredients, everything is super fresh and amazingly delicious. For my wedding, Cocoa & Fig created an incredible dessert display of cupcakes, French macaron cookies and flowers that my guests were seriously oooing and aaaahhhing over the entire evening! I love working with Laurie and Joe -- they approach each event with a unique vision, and with the simplest ingredients they are able to create a totally customized experience.
GUEST




Cocoa & Fig was extremly easy to work with and added so much to our reception! Everyone raved about the delicious cupcakes they made for our reception and the display was beautiful as well! I would highly recomend them for any event!
GUEST




Cocoa and Fig held a "tasting" for us of menu items we were interested in. We paid for the tasting, but the cost came off our catering bill. It was a wonderful dinner for four (my parents came along). And we gained more ideas at the tasting for our wedding (like Peanut Butter Pops, yum!).
The food was flavorful, interesting, delicious, pleasing to the eye and seasonal, all things we appreciate. Laurie created a menu of several small appetizers for our fall wedding outdoor buffet. We also had a signature beverage - hot apple cider (perfect for the slightly chilly day). The staff was outstanding - professional, knowledgeable, flexible and appreciative of the beautiful environment my mom had created at her home. My aunt enjoyed them so much she hired them to cater her 25th wedding anniversary.
I would definitely recommend Cocoa & Fig and hire them again if I need catering.
GUEST




Joe and Laurie from Cocoa and Fig are fabulous people to work with. They take into account your wants/needs and make sure to incorporate them into the design, flavor and flare. They are wonderful to work with and their cake and cupcakes are amazing. Highly recommend them for any event where a cake or food catering is needed.
GUEST




We booked at the last minute (one month before our date) and Cocoa & Fig did an amazing job all the way through delivery. Laurie was very helpful working with what we hoped to provide for our guests at a sweet table, with presentation and advice. We watched several of our guests walk up many times to our cupcake tower. The cupcakes were a huge hit and so easy!
I love working with Cocoa and Fig! Their attention to detail is amazing as is their genuine love for their clients. They go above and beyond each time.
I really can't say enough about Cocoa and Fig. Not only are their desserts amazingly fresh and delicious, they have creative flavors and look gorgeous. Joe and Laurie have quite a talent with the aesthetics of dessert and their dessert tables are always eye catching and lovely.
It will be obvious from looking at Cocoa & Fig's work that they produce beautiful dessert tables and take their work seriously. What will not be apparent is how much fun they are to work with - they are fun and creative and love tackling a challenge with a playful eye.
They created a S'Mores bar for our recent event, and it was the talk of all the guests - beautiful, fun, functional, and so very tasty! I can't recommend their work, their professionalism, and their creative approach enough.
Gorgeous and delicious confections...from really nice people.
Every time we work with Cocoa + Fig our clients rave about the presentation and taste of their delectable desserts. Their creativity and ability to understand our special requests make them a tried and true favorite whom we love to work with time and again.
We love, love, LOVE working with Cocoa & Fig!! I'm consistently blown away by their attention to detail every time we see their work. Laurie and her team give Martha Stewart a run for her money!
