Reviews for Enchanted Wedding Cakes




Gretchen was wonderful to work with - she was very responsive, especially as I was planning from long distance. Our cake was by far the most amazing wedding cake I have ever tasted. The flavor we chose was orange blossom with orange blossom buttercream frosting. It was unique and our guests gave us rave reviews on the cake. Gretchen is incredibly talented with her designs. We chose something simple and classic but the examples she showed us when we met with her showcased her talent beautifully.
GUEST




The cake was EXCELLENT! I had a lot of people telling me how good it was. There were tons of flavors to work with and most of all - Gretchen was awesome to work with! Very accommodating, she had great ideas and was very professional - I would highly recommend her!
GUEST




Absolutely delicious cake. Tastes homemade because it is, not an overly processed bakery cake. Creative flavors. Gretchen was absolutely wonderful to work with. Well worth the cost and then some.
GUEST




the cake was wonderful!! Gretchen had even stated she had not done a design like we were asking her to do before, and it looked JUST like I had pictured. The flavor options were incredible, it was hard to narrow down! It tasted great and was delivered in perfect condition. Thanks for all your hard work :)

From the initial consultation to the final delivery of the cake working with Gretchen was a true pleasure and very easy. Gretchen is warm and welcoming, she makes a lot of creative suggestions while still allowing the bride and groom to make each cake their own. The cake itself was perfect from a visual standpoint and it was equally delicious.
GUEST




My husband and I could not have asked for a more perfect, tasty wedding cake. It was such a pleasure working with Gretchen Ellison. Her professionalism, dedication, and attentiveness to detail are just a few of the many positive qualities she possesses.
Gretchen took her customizations of our wedding cake a step further by taking up the challenge of decorating the cake to mimic the origami folds of my wedding dress. She constructed intricate folded pieces of sugar that simply captured the essence of my dress. Everyone at the reception was in awe.
I would highly recommend Enchanted Wedding Cakes to anyone looking for an above average wedding cake.

Look no further for your wedding cake vendor. Gretchen Elllison/Enchanted Wedding Cakess is the consummate professional - perfectionist, supremely organized, highly responsive, with the highest degree of reliability. The cake was absolutely gorgeous (her own award-winning design). The beauty of the cake was exceeded only by the amazing taste of the cake. Guests were gushng over the design and asking for second helpings! An Enchanted Wedding Cake will become the focal point of your wedding. Our wedding cake was that exquisite.
GUEST




Gretchen with Enchanted Wedding Cakes created an absolute dream of a cake for our wedding. When we met with Gretchen for our first consultation, we had some visions of what we wanted our cake to look and taste like. Gretchen immediately adapted to our desires. We were hoping to use a different kind of topping on our cake, and even though she hadn't worked with that specific topping before, she did extensive research and went to many great lengths to see that the cake would be executed perfectly. And it was! It was beautiful, elegant, and was in total sync with the feel of our wedding.
And most importantly - the cake was DELICIOUS! Addicting, to be exact. We chose two different cake-filling flavor combinations, and both were out of the this world.
I could not imagine having any one else bake our wedding cake!
Thank you Gretchen,
Rosey and Tony, Boston MA

It has taken us a few months to write a review because of our busy work schedules, but we felt that this was the least we could do to show her our appreciation. We got married on March 26, 2011 and had the pleasure of working with Gretchen to create our wedding cake. She always responded very quickly and she was very sweet to work with. Her cakes are so light and moist--exactly what a cake should be. We chose the mango and orange blossom cake and everyone raved about it. She is such a perfectionist and it showed in the quality of her work. Her sugar flower work is just beautiful. We still have our peony flowers displayed and it still looks just as good as on our wedding day. Thank you, Gretchen.

Fabulous cake - from tasting to presentation. Gretchen was great to work with.
GUEST




Gretchen was a pleasure to work with. Her cakes are beautiful and taste amazing. My family and I tried other places for wedding cakes but they did not compare to Enchanted Wedding Cakes. I really enjoyed working on the design of my cake with Gretchen, she is extremely talented at creating beautiful cakes. I would highly recommend Enchanted Wedding Cakes to anyone looking for a fabulous looking and tasting cake!
GUEST




I was SO happy with my cake. It was beautiful and looked exactly as I envisoned, just more beautiful ! And of course it tasted AMAAZING and we had tons of compliments on the flavor, an important thing for us. Great customer service!
GUEST




When I first met with Gretchen, I barely had a vision of what I wanted my wedding cake to look like. Gretchen really helped me to conceptualize the type of style and flavors I wanted for my cake. My cake ended up tasting wondeful and was absolutely beautiful...it complemented the feel of my wedding perfectly. Her pricing is also very affordable compared to other bakers in the area for the quality you are receiving. I highly recommend setting up a consultation with her and you will see what I mean!
GUEST




From start to finish, Gretchen was a dream to work with. Everything she did for our wedding was beyond our vision! She provided the most magical wedding cake; beautiful and delicious! And our Groom's cake was perfect - I described a concept and Gretchen ran with it! I had complete trust in her and the end product was more than amazing. It was an honor to work with Gretchen and I look forward to working with her for future celebrations!
GUEST




Our wedding cake was gorgeous, delicious, and exactly what we had hoped for at a reasonable price. We would highly recommend Enchanted wedding cakes for your wedding cake.
GUEST




Cake was delicious, and absolutely beautiful! Gretchen was also very pleasent to deal with, and the anniversary cake that came with our package was as delicious as the original!
GUEST




Gretchen is a delight to work with. She is highly organized, thorough, a complete artist and her kitchen is SPOTLESS. She has a number of cakes on display so you can understand height, design, color, and composition. In my case I had a very specific idea of what I was looking for and I can honestly say that when I walked into the reception and saw the cake it took my breath away!
I also greatly appreciate the fact that the cake tasted absolutely delicious. My husband loves cake and he is still talking about it as are my guests. How many weddings do you go to where the cake is beautiful but not very tasty? It won't happen with Gretchen.
I highly recommend her and cannot wait to attend another wedding where she is the cake artist.
GUEST




Gretchen Ellison, from Enchanted Wedding Cakes, is wonderful and her cakes are gorgeous AND delicious!! Gretchen welcomed us into her home, where she bakes and designs all her cakes. She was unbelievably welcoming and incredibly kind. She worked with us to understand exactly what we wanted our cake to look like, she showed us many sample designs (photographs and models). She baked, specifically for us, a few of her flavors to allow us to decide what flavors to include in our cake.
The cake came out beautifully! Her hard work and attention to detail really showed in the sugar flowers, which she perfectly matched to the flowers present at the wedding reception. Each flavor we included was delicious!
Gretchen added a very special touch by sending us a congratulations letter with a photograph of our cake. Very nice! She also sends the bride and groom a top layer of a cake as a 1 year anniversary gift!
I highly recommend Enchanted Wedding Cakes - not only for the design and taste of the cake, but working with them was really a pleasure.
GUEST




Gretchen is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is professional, attentive, and made a stunningly beautiful, and delicious, cake for our outdoor wedding. She coordinated the delivery and floral decoration with our caterer and florist, and post-wedding, sent beautiful photos of the cake as it was set up for the reception. I would strongly suggest Enchanted Wedding Cakes for your wedding cake. Be sure to set up a tasting and design session, it's not to be missed!!!
GUEST




We have been married almost a month and we still have wedding guests calling to tell us how wonderful our cake looked and tasted. Enchanted Cakes was truly amazing. Gretchen was so professional, sweet and wonderful to work with. She has so many different options to choose from. Our cake was truly unique and amazing. We couldn't have imagined it better and it also tasted just as good as it looked.
GUEST




Guests are still calling to say how mytasty and beautiful our wedding cake was! Gretchen's baking and decorating ability is exquisite and we were grateful that there was some cake left over so that we could enjoy it for 2 days following our reception. She created lilly of the valley sugar paste flowers that looked truly lifelike and was able to incorporate the cake topper used in my parent's wedding cake from 1944, even though a custom sugar base had to be created. We can't wait for our 1st anniversary cake from Gretchen!
GUEST




I found the wedding cake of my dreams on Gretchen's website. AFter seeing it I knew that no other cake would do. Gretchen is a real pleasure to do buisness with and not only do her cakes look beautiful they are the best cakes I have ever tried. I got many compliements from guests on how beautiful my cake was and how amazing it tasted. I would definitely would recommend Enchanted Wedding Cakes to anyone wanting a beautifully designed cake that also tastes great!!
GUEST




Gretchen is the most amazing person you will ever work with! She had a big task ahead of her with a bride and a groom who hate sweets in general and a guest list with never-ending allergies. She took obsessive amounts of notes in order to make sure everything was 100% perfect and was the queen of calling and emailing whenever she had an idea to make the cake even more gorgeous and delicious. Also, she gives a discount if your cake is over $800 and you received a referral card from your vendor. You will not be disappointed if you choose Enchanted Wedding Cakes!
GUEST




These wedding cakes are to die for. Most wedding cakes are dry and are really only at the wedding for looks or tradition, but not this cake. You will be extremely satisfied with this. My wedding cake was not only the most beautiful cake that I have ever seen, it was the best tasting cake I have ever tasted. To this day, 3 years after our wedding, my husband and I drool over the thought of it. Also, in the price of the cake, you receive a free anniversary cake. No need to worry about freezing the top of your cake, which freezes beautifully by the way, you will get a brand new fresh one a year later. My only wish is I could get one every year for the rest of my life (If not more)! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! And, Gretchen is the nicest woman you will ever meet. Extremely willing to work with you! Go for a cake testing today! You won't regret it! My husband and I may get remarried just for the cake! Ha Ha Ha!
GUEST




Owner Gretchen Ellison is one of the most professional vendors with whom I worked. She is extremely responsive which I highly appreciated. She takes great pride in her work and has numerous ideas to help the bride who is unsure of what she wants. She coordinated with my florist and venue regarding delivery and flower arrangements on the cake so I didn't have to. The end product is beautiful and delicious. You will have no concerns should you work with her.
GUEST




I loved everything about our experience with Gretchen at Enchanted Wedding Cakes. From the tasting (it was SO hard to choose--every single flavor was delicious!) to picking out the style (she gave expert guidance and really listened) to the rave reviews from our guests, it was fabulous! The cake looked and tasted better than I could have dreamed...definitely recommend them to any bride and groom!
GUEST




Gretchen is a true professional - she was extremely organized and well-prepared for our cake tasting at her house. We went in knowing what we wanted our cake to look like and she executed it perfectly and it tasted great (I'd definitely recommend the Strawberry Grand Marnier). Also, although we chose a simpler cake, we had the pleasure of seeing her more elaborate cakes - again, they looked perfect. She also has so many other wonderful flavors to choose from. I would definitely recommend her!
GUEST




Gretchen was a delight to work with and created a beautiful cake for us. Our vision of what we wanted evolved through our discussions with her and in the end, she created exactly what we asked for. Plus, it was DELICIOUS! Thanks so much, Gretchen.
GUEST




Our cake was divine. Cakes from Enchanted are fresher tasting and Gretchen was incredibly professional to work with.
GUEST




Gretchen was extremely professional, and was very accommodating to our thoughts on the cake. She made choosing a style and design very easy, with many piping samples, cake samples, and tasting samples. I appreciated her different fondant and butter-cream choices. The cake was not only beautiful, but delicious! We had many good comments from our wedding guests!
GUEST




Gretchen was extremely easy to get in touch with. The quality of her cake was amazing and everyone at the wedding commented on how good the cake was. Also, one of the special things is that they give you the option of keeping the top of your cake or getting a new top on your one year anniversary. . how great is that! She answered all my questions and was very helpful and realistic in her options. She made you feel special and a top priority!
Gretchen Ellison from Enchanted Wedding Cakes is a true artist!
Her designs are as delicious as they are stunningly beautiful. Gretchen is extremely easy to work with. I recently styled one of her cakes with flowers on location for our mutual client. Not only were we able to combine our aesthetics easily, we could also work together in the busy atmosphere of a venue to provide the very best for our client.
Gretchen is a rare find: she is a master at her craft, and she is extremely flexible, which makes her indispensable for any event!
I look forward to working with Gretchen on many more events in the future!

Strawberry Grand Marnier is very popular throughout the year, with fresh sliced strawberries, Grand Marnier filling and a syrup with Grand Marnier for extra flavor and moisture.

We can make a display cake for 100 servings or more, and the remaining servings can be discounted somewhat. This can provide a saving for larger weddings, but not so much for smaller weddings.

How do we get started in planning for our wedding cake?
Once you have reserved a reception location, please contact us by email or phone. We are happy to answer any questions you may have and if you would like to set a date for a cake tasting and design appointment, we can find a convenient time. You are welcome to select your favorite flavors from the Menu to taste at our meeting. We would like to hear about the colors and theme of the wedding, if there is one, and to hear your thoughts about the style and ambience of your wedding. Then we can begin to guide you through the the process of designing your wedding cake.
The earlier you reserve the date for your wedding cake, the more choices you will have. You can reserve the date by making a deposit and know that the date is yours. Then you are welcome to make flavor and design decisions once other details of the wedding have been determined. This provides for a comfortable and relaxed process.
A simple design will be less costly, since the cost of a wedding cake is related to the amount of time required to make and design it. Simple designs are elegant and timeless.
