J Cakes

We used J Cakes, found through our venue, for our wedding cake. We went for our tasting and everything was amazing. We showed a few pictures of what we wanted it to look like and we were on the same page, but they asked for us to send a picture of the cake so I emailed it to our contact. The contact person never emailed that she received the picture, but it was 6+ months before the wedding so I wasn't worried about making sure they had the picture immediately. I emailed again a few weeks before the wedding to confirm generally and about the photo and received a prompt response.

Guests told me it was the best wedding cake they tasted and that it didn't "taste like a wedding cake, it tasted like a real cake." I only took a few bites, but can't wait for our anniversary to cut into our top tier!

The cake was beautiful! Exactly what I was looking for and tasted delicious!

The cake from J Cakes was beautiful!

We chose to get the chocolate cake with oreo filling,everyone raved about it.

They decorated it exactly how I wanted.

The cake that I had requested was something that Hope said she had not done before, but would be able to accommodate. The cake was exceptional and was everything that I had hoped for. I received many compliments on the cake.

JCakes made us a beautiful... and DELICIOUS wedding cake! Chocolate with raspberry buttercream filling is to die for! Hope fully created the exact cake we discussed during the consultation. Could not be happier!

Hope made us a cake that was both DELICIOUS and BEAUTIFUL!! THe chocolate cake with buttercream filling was so incredibly delicious that I am already excited to eat the top layer next May! The cake came out exactly how we discussed and we were more than pleased!

We chose JCakes for our wedding cake based on online reviews. They were fantastic! Usually wedding cakes are either beautiful but don't taste good, or they taste good but don't look great. JCakes makes cakes that are both beautiful and delicious! During our cake tasting it was really hard to choose, but we ended up going with chocolate cake with truffle filling for one layer and yellow cake with strawberries and cream filling for another layer. When I explained how I wanted our cake to look, Hope understood immediately and drew a sketch of exactly what I was envisioning. At the wedding, the cake looked perfect. We received many compliments from our guests on how good it tasted.

My cake was beautiful and tasted amazing!

Hope was very accomodating and had no issues with multiple changes to the plan. J cakes did a fab job and I cant wait until our anniversary to eat the rest!

In planning our daughter's wedding, it was a pleasure to work with Hope at J-Cakes. The entire process went off without an issue. From the first tasting of the cake choices and the cream fillings, to the wedding, the cupcakes were delicious, people raved about them after eating them. They were so pretty to look at and even better to taste. Thanks J-Cakes for providing the finishing touch to our palettes!

Best. Cake. Ever.

Everyone at the wedding thoroughly enjoy the wedding cake, and people are still talking about it. We decided to go with the peanut butter filling and vanilla cake. In addition to the piece my husband fed me, I actually took the time to sit down and enjoy an additional full piece of cake.

We paired it with a vanilla bean ice cream and chocolate covered strawaberry.

JCakes was amazing and coordinated with our florist for decorations. Our first initial visit was so fun, and Hope and all her staff were a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend using Jcakes.

J Cakes is AMAZING! From our venue tasting when I originally met Hope (who brought me my own sample of red velvet), they were wonderful to work with! All our guests raved about the cake (which you don't often get at a wedding). Red velvet is my personal favorite so that was the bottom tier and the top two tiers were cannoli. Both flavors were SO delicious. I had given Hope a picture to go off of, and she produced a cake that looked even better. J Cakes is a vendor who you can rely on and don't have to worry about once your big day arrives, which is invaluable. Also, their cake stand is gorgeous and can be rented at an affordable price. I highly recommend Hope and J Cakes - thanks to them, guests of all ages are still talking about how delicious and gorgeous our cake was!

I couldn't have been more pleased with how our wedding cake came out. It was absolutely beautiful and had a very moist and delicious taste. I'd recommend this bakery to anyone. They were also very flexible with the cake design/filling flavors.

I would highly recommend JCakes. They were very easy to work with, very reasonable and the cake was delicious.

We loved our wedding cake! It tasted delicious and looked exactly as I pictured it. Many of our guests told us after the wedding that they though the cake was delicious as well.

We visited a few different bakeries before choosing J Cakes but once we tried their cake, there was no comparison. We walked in without an appointment and Hope and Katie went out of their way to help us and make us feel at home. We sampled a bunch of different flavors and could not find one that we didn't like. The cake was incredibly moist and the icing wasn't the least bit waxy like some other places. After we booked, I called later to make some changes (needed to meet multiple different dietary needs including gluten free and allergies) and also added on a surprise grooms cake. Hope emailed me suggestions and we worked together to find the perfect cake. Both her and Katie also instilled confidence in me that they had my order all set and everything would go as planned on the actual wedding day. When the day of the wedding came, everything was just as it was promised and absolutely delicious! Multiple people complimented us on both the moistness of the cake as well as the tastiness of the canolis that we had also ordered. I would not hesitate to recommend J Cakes to anyone and I look forward to my next event to make another order.

We worked with JCakes for our wedding at the Woodwinds in Branford, CT. I can say Katie was very helpful with our questions and gave us a perfect tasting experience. The hardest decision was to pick from all the delicious flavors. We had designed the cake so there was ribbon wrapped around the buttercream icing and flowers placed on each tier. I showed Katie a picture, and she knew exactly what to do. The cake was breathtaking and I received so many compliments on how it looked and tasted. We could not have been happier with the cake and our treatment throughout the entire planning process. Katie and her team got back to us in a timely manner for our questions and made us feel at ease with what they were going to provide us with on our wedding day.

LOVED loved our wedding cake by Hope from J Cakes!! Very helpful and friendly response for any request. Great designs and value.

Absolutely fantastic! We chose the chocolate cake with peanut butter mousse and received nothing but compliments. Not too sweet - perfect combination!

JCakes provided my wedding cake for my Feb 2013 wedding. The cake was moist and delicious as well as elegantly designed. Hope, the owner of JCakes was extremely sweet and flexible. There were a few occasions that I could not make our appointments due to traveling problems since my wedding was a long distance from where I lived. Hope was awesome about rescheduling our plans. Thank you Hope for letting me not have to worry about this aspect of the wedding. I'm so glad you were a part of my day! Thank you so much for your help! I would definitely recommend JCakes to all of my friends and family who are getting married.

Delicious and beautiful cake!

The cake was beautiful! I asked for two flavors and wasn't charged anymore and am extremely happy with the way it looked and incorporated our theme. The price to have the hexagonal shape was a little steep ($150), but it looked amazing!

Our cake was absolutely amazing!!! I received so many positive remarks about our cake!!! I can not put into words how happy I was with our cake!!!

All of my wedding guests commented on how good and fresh the cupcakes were. Also, J-Cakes made us a little wedding cake to cut and it tasted awesome and was decorated really nicely . Everything was beyond my expectations! Thank you!

Easy to work with! Very professional, and all of my guests complemented how delicious the cake tasted!!

Hope was so easy to work with, very professional and reliable. Our wedding cake was not only absolutely beautiful but delicious! 100% satisfied and would highly recommend JCakes for weddings or any occasion.

Wedding cake has a bad reputation: conventional wisdom says that it will probably look pretty (or at least you hope so), but that it's certainly not going to taste good. JCakes blows this theory completely out of the water. Our wedding cake was not only beautiful, it was absolutely delicious. (And, no kidding, two weeks later, our guests are still telling us how terrific the cake was.) I would wholeheartedly recommend JCakes. We're looking forward to ordering a cake from them for our first anniversary!

J cakes provided us with an incredible wedding cake that ill never forget! When we went to select a cake every flavor we tasted was incredible! We went with a chocolate cake with berry filling and it was incredible! The cake was so fresh and moist! They also nailed spot on the design i wanted for our cake! It looked beautiful! We got so many compliments on the cake!

We went to several bakeries looking for a great tasting and great looking wedding cake, but when we walked into J-Cakes we knew our search was over. We were so impressed with Hope and her creativity. She not only showed us dozens of pictures of her past cakes, each more creative and unique than the other, but she then took out a pencil and sketched exactly what we described for our wedding cake. She gave suggestions based on her years of experience but wasn't pushy, respecting our wishes and vision. Then we were presented with a well organized sampling of fillings and cakes, all very tasty! And needless to say the final product was visually perfect and, if possible, even better tasting. Our cake was unique, great tasting, and the result of someone who is both a baker and an artist. J-Cakes rocks!!

JCakes is amazing. Our wedding cake looked beautiful and it was absolutely delicious!! Cant wait for our next event with them.

I believe that a wedding cake should taste and look great. If you do, Hope at JCakes will provide a delicious and beautiful wedding cake. She listened to my ideas for design and had amazing flavors to choose from. Once you do a cake tasting at JCakes, you’ll see what I mean! Hope was so amazing, and we’ll be getting all our birthday and anniversary cakes from her in the future!

Very easy to work with. Hope made a beautiful cake for our wedding that tasted delicous. I received many compliments that it was the best wedding cake they ever had. We did ask for fruit in the middle and there was VERY little fruit, but it was overlooked because the frosting and cake itself were excellent. I highly recommend J Cakes.

WOW! The wedding cake was not only stunning - it was delicious! Hope is terrific and can do anything! Every single person at the wedding LOVED the cannoli cake. . .
TRUELY AMAZING! Thank you so very much!

Our wedding cake was beautiful .they responded back to me pretty fast when inquiring about a wedding cake.I also liked there website to look at all of the pictures of wedding cakes the did .Now as for the taste no clue the day went by so fast i dont remember what it tasted like but i heard it was VERY VERY good it was oreo cream mousse...Yes i think they did a good job and would recommend them

We selected JCakes out of the recommended bakeries from our wedding at Woodwinds in Branford.
Everyone loved our cake- we chose 3 separate fillings for our 3 tiers- chocolate mousse, oreo, and cannoli. Our top layer was in our fridge and we actually dipped into it early because we couldn't wait to taste it. Good thing we did because the remaining piece saved for our year anniversary was lost in a power outage from the hurricane two months...

J Cakes made an amazing cake for my recent wedding! It was delicious and beautiful. All our guests are still raving about how good the cake was. I would definitely use them again for another event.

Jcakes does an AMAZING wedding cake!! We brought Hope our idea and a pic of the type of cake we like. FYI, no one had made this cake before, so it was a toss up! BUT it was executed PERFECTLY. Even my wedding venue emailed me after the ceremony for more information about where we got the cake! My guests thought it tasted great!!! Delicious and Beautiful!!! AND a GREAT VALUE!!

JCakes is the best: very professional and of course DELICIOUS! I recommend them to anyone!

JCakes made my wedding cake and it was more beautiful then I could have imagined. The women who work here are very nice. The cake tasted amazing, nice and light and full of flavor!

I was so impressed with our cake! Even though I came up with the design I wanted, I was still floored when I actually saw the end result. It looked even better than I had imagined and tasted great! They have a huge variety of flavors to choose from. We went with half strawberry shortcake filling and half canolli filling. I had alot of guests tell me that they ate their whole piece of cake when they usually don't eat the cake at all.

We loved the wedding cake that JCakes created for our wedding day! Our guests could not stop complimenting us on how moist and delicious our wedding cake tasted.

This cake was the best wedding cake that I have ever had! It was amazing and beautiful! We went with the mixed berry, white chocolate mousse filling, and it was perfect. Beautiful and elegant!

Jcakes made me a beautiful cake, BEAUTIFUL!

the cake was beautiful and delicious , many different flavors and styles to chose from. Very pleased

JCakes provided us with the wedding "cupcake" cake of our dreams! We had two different types of cupcakes, a chocolate cupcake with a peanutbutter filling and a vanilla cupcake with a mixed berry filling. Both were the most delicious cupcakes we have ever had! All of my guests raved about the cupcakes and insisted on knowing where they were from! JCakes helped me design the most beautiful cake and it came out amazing! I would recomment JCakes for any occasion, especially weddings! You will get the cake of yours dreams!!!

Hope at J-Cakes did an outstanding job on the cupcake tower for our December wedding. I wish I could post a photo with this review so everyone could see!

When my husband and I were in the planning stages for our wedding, we needed to meet with potential vendors on the weekend since we live in NYC but were getting married in Connecticut. We really valued that Hope was so accommodating and able to schedule a weekend tasting for us.

In the end, we narrowed our baker search down to just two, and what sealed the deal for J-Cakes was the fact that they are very experienced with cupcake towers (and own the right "equipment" for the tower) and that they are also very familiar with our venue (the New Haven Lawn Club).

We chose four different flavors of cupcakes with a 6" square cake on top. There were four tiers of cupcakes (about 160 cupcakes total), and each tier had a medley of flavors. Each cupcake was wrapped in a laser-cut cupcake liner. Although these liners were a step-up in price, they were totally worth it; what elegance they added. Each tier was separated by a square glass vase/divider filled with white hydrangeas, which were the same flower as in our centerpieces. Hope was gracious enough to have provided the flowers/vase fillers at no extra cost.

Overall, the presentation on our wedding day was beautiful! Guests loved the flavor combinations, and my husband and I valued the uniqueness of doing the cupcake tower instead of a traditional cake. We would highly recommend J-Cakes. Thank you, Hope!

I highly recommend J CAKES, it is awesome!! Hope is wonderful to work with. We had both a cake and cupcakes for our wedding and everything was absolutely delicious! Not too mention the display was beautiful. I enjoyed working with Hope- she was very easy to work with, understood what we had in mind, and even created special cupcakes for my niece and nephew, who were our flower girl and ring bearer. And the tasting is phenomenal!
I will definitely be contacting J CAKES again for future cakes/cupcakes, as well as for our 1st anniversary...

The cake was delicious and beautiful. They treated us so special. Our tasting was great fun!. Unfortunately we only ate the piece for our pictures :( We were dancing so much :) BUT all of our guests raved about it!

Our cake was Delish!! My husband and I LOVE peanut butter so we went with a peanut butter mousse, yellow cake, and buttercream frosting. (Not your typical wedding cake) It tasted like a funny bone!! So good! It looked beautiful, just like the picture I had chosen. I would highly recommend J Cakes for your next event!! :)

I was recommended to J Cakes by my Reception Venue, Laurel View Country Club. We met with one of the girls at their store and tasted several cakes and fillings to get the combo we wanted. We had a cute fishing cake topper that J Cakes actually found for us online. It had a bride with a bouquet and a groom with a fishing pole and the groom had an arm around the bride. J Cakes made a nice wave design which went perfectly with our cake topper. They delivered the Cake to Laurel View and it tasted delicious!!!!

Our cake looked exactly how we wanted it and we received a lot of compliments on it. Unfortunately didnt get to taste it myself because I had felt sick all day and couldn't eat :( But we did have a lot of people say how moist and full of flavor it was. My husband and I had gone to 3 different cake places and felt like they were very unprofessional and they gave us little samples of their cake. We went to JCakes and from moment 1 of our meeting it was extremely professional. She came out with all the samples and they were labeled. We were in a beautiful room with pictures of all different cake, and we knew right away we would use them! Hope is an amazing artist!

The cake tasted fabulous and the service was perfect! Couldn't have been happier! Thanks!! - Julie and Ben

The cake was beautiful and tastes great.

Great! they made a cupcake cake for my wedding and it was so good! she was always helpful on the phone and did great work!

J Cakes created a beautiful and delicious cake for us, and this rating should be a 5/5 however, there was one small hiccup. Our cake filling was incorrect. It was still very beautiful and delicious, however, it was not what we had signed up for.

If you use J Cakes, make sure you call to confirm your order the day before.

The atmosphere and look for everything is amazing!! The cake was absolutely delicious and it was so beautiful. I definitely recommend them over any other cake service.

Beyond perfection!!!!!!!!!!! I was blown away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL and tasted AMAZING!!!!! Thank you SOOOOOO very much =)

JCakes was wonderful! Our cake had three tiers- the bottom and top tiers were vanilla with mixed berry filling and the middle tier was chocolate with white chocolate filling. The bottom and top tiers also had hearts on the outside and the middle tier had swirls. It was so pretty! We also had fresh flowers added to our cake that matched the flowers in the girls' bouquets, and there were also fresh flowers on the cake table surrounding the cake.
The cake was delicious, people are still telling us how much they enjoyed it. We did pack up and freeze the top tier of our cake, but I'm kind of wishing that we didn't, because I would love to eat it now!
Our cake tasting was also fun, all of the flavors tasted great, and it was almost hard to pick just two. Hope was very helpful.
Would highly recommend JCakes to anybody for any event!

J Cakes were excellent. The wedding cake was good, moist and light. Our guest raved over the wedding cake. It was chocolate with a rasberry creme filling. It was excellent. The serve was superb as well.

J Cakes did a TERRIFIC job on our cake - we let her know what we were looking for and she helped design a cake that was EXACTLY what we were looking for! It was a gorgeous cake and tasted EVEN BETTER!!! I would definitely recomend them to anyone looking for a delicious cake!!

Fantastic! It's the best word to describe J Cakes. From our original cake tasting meeting to the delivery of a beautiful product the day of the wedding, working with J Cakes was easy and enjoyable.
Our cake- three layers (two chocolate, one vanilla) with berry filling was a hit, people even tweeted during the reception about how great it tasted!
I highly recommend Hope and J Cakes for a delicious, beautiful wedding cake!

Hope did our wedding cake with chocolate mouse filling and chocolate cake with white frosting. Since we raise German Shepherd puppies for the blind our theme was dogs. Hope had paw prints all around the cake and our cake topper was a picture in a heart frame of our two retired shepherds dressed up as bride and groom. The cake topper was plain,but with Hope using her imagination created a beautiful foundation of flowers to go around the base of the frame. Our guests loved the design and told us it's the best cake they have ever eaten. We loved the cake so much that we are having the top half of our cake this weekend rather than waiting for our first anniversary. From now on our cakes will be from J Cakes. Thank you Hope

Chris and Tom

J Cakes created an amazing wedding cake for me! It was only $50 for an upgraded design and it tasted wonderful. We didn't even wait to eat the top layer; we had it as soon as we got home!

Hope and the J Cakes team made us a yummy and beautiful cake. Again, our tastes were simple and they had a cake in their repertoire that fit our theme perfectly - vanilla buttercream icing with blue hydrangeas on top. Check. Done! Our tasting was fun and they even accommodated a request to change one of the flavor combinations as our wedding date got closer.

Great cakes, true professionals.

J Cakes makes cakes that are not only visually stunning but delicious to eat. It is a pleasure to photograph their cakes.

Cakes that are not only beautiful, but delicious as well. Very accommodating staff that is a delight to work with.

J Cakes has the best tasting Cakes in CT. Presentation is beautiful and Staff is Professional. What more can you ask for!

J Cakes amazing cakes for an amazing day.

There is so much I can say about J Cakes- simply put they are wonderful to work with. And the product is outstanding! From the most traditional to the more cutting edge they do it all. My clients love their experience with J Cakes and as a Wedding Coordinator I too enjoy the process and product! Hope and the rest of the J Cakes Family is top notch!

J Cakes does such a beautiful job making cakes that look and taste great! They are so gorgeous that it made our job of photographing the cake a breeze!

J's Cakes are the absolute best we've ever had...truthfully. There is no denying the freshness of their product. They have 14 delicious signature 14 fillings...the fruit fillings are simply DEVINE! Once you've had a J's Cake, you will never want to go back to anything else, and everything else will pale in comparison.

I have used J. Cakes on both a personal and professional level, and her cakes are by far the best that I have tasted! I am a chocolate lover, so my favorite is chocolate cake with chocolate mousse. My husband is a fan of the vanilla cake with the raspberry mousse. The Boston Creme is amazing too!

Hope, the owner, is always very accommodating and friendly, which is only one of the reasons I have chosen to ask her to be a part of my business's deluxe package. I have 110% confidence that my clients will be just as happy her with her cakes as I am!
