Modern Pastry Shop

I have gotten so many compliments on the cake and that everyone finished it, which people usually don't. It was easy to work with the team in desiging the cake. Even though the cake I thought could of been a little more finished looking, it was modern and all the guest complimented it. Overall we were pleased and would recommend Modern Pastry for any wedding or special occassion.

Carla made us the most gorgeous wedding cake! She is super sweet, attentive and professional! The cake was everything and beyond I had imagined! It was gorgeous and delicious!I love Modern Pastry, they are the best!

Modern was the vendor we had to use through the Gershon Fox. At first I was a little leary after reading other brides reviews, saying their pictures had been lost and the cake looked nothing like they had originally discussed. Luckily this was not the case for us! Our cake came out exactly as we had imagined it. I was so happy! Everyone said the cake tasted great also! We also ordered mini cannolis to be served, and when they came out they were not very fresh tasting and kind of soggy, my husband was really bummed about this since we paid extra for this part and he was really looking forward to them. All in all the service was good, We got our cake exactly how we wanted it and it was delicious!

We paid for the cake through my reception vendor and it was wonderful. It was beautiful and tasted great.

What I really cared about was the taste of the cake and it tasted great. I only had to order the cake the week of and they were able to deliver it. It was a very simple process once I sent my sister to do the tasting because I live too far away. I would definitely recommend Modern for your wedding cake. I kept it simple White with just a bit of Lavender and then we added Flowers for the decoration once it was delivered. (I wanted to buy a cake that was for 75 people but my family pressured me into buying a bigger cake.) As I figured the cake didn't get completely eaten because everyone is so full from the wedding. It's no big deal of course but it just reminds me to go with my gut!

I used Tastebuds as my caterer. Since I only had 50 people at my wedding, we used Modern for the cake. We went for a tasting and the girl there was awesome. We picked the lemon mousse. It was so light and yummy! We also paid extra to add the fondant draping to the cake. It was only two tiers, but still gorgeous! There was plenty of cake leftover and I know people went up for seconds and thirds :) I would recommend them to anyone looking for a great cake!

Our wedding cake was included in our package from the Gershon. In our opinion they should re-think their working relationship. While the cake was tasty, it didn’t look at all like the picture we presented. I would also like to note that our cake was super simple and in butter cream not even in fondant. Our colors were suppose to be champagne and ivory. We got a white cake. All white no contrast. Ugh. Plus 3 days prior to the wedding I sent a follow-up email to the bakery and she responded stating she had lost the picture and if I could resend. Hence our surprise when it didn’t look the way that the picture did. The extra staff that works in the shop is not professional at all. They were cursing while we waited to speak to Carla (owner\'s daughter??) She was very nice, but the atmosphere in their was questionable.

The cake was beautiful and it tasted great! The girls at the shop have been really sweet and we ordered cookies from them I really loved!

I loved our cake! I browsed through a couple of books to see which kind of cake I wanted, I found one but needed to modify it slightly! I can’t tell you how many compliment I received on your cake. We had a four tier red velvet cake, which was so delicious!!! Very professional.

I got married on the same day as the owners daughter and they were still willing and able to create a beautiful wedding cake for my husband and I. The cake at Modern Pastry is ABSOLUTELY delicious!

It was very easy to work with Modern Pastry and the cake came out beautiful. I would highly recommend them.

My husband and I went into the store to look at pictures of cakes and to do a test taste, yum! The young woman that helped us gave us some recommendations that were helpful but it was so busy that we had to wait around for quite awhile to get assistance. As a result I called in the order on another day and everything went great.

Modern Pastry is one of the two vendors that works closely with my wedding venue (La Renaissance). After meeting with Lisa, I knew that they were the shop that I was going to choose for my wedding. They were flexible and helped me choose just the right cake for my reception (size, flavor, decoration, style, etc.). They incorporated all of my ideas in just the right cake. Although they didn't match the roses and ribbon colors like I had hoped, everything else was perfect. I can't wait to have another bite on my one year anniversary.

Carla at Modern Pastry was a pleasure to work with. She was so friendly and knowledgable! She went the extra mile and even put fresh flowers on it. It looked like it belonged in a magazine! We went with the ricotta and chocolate mousse filling with chocolate chips - it was EXCELLENT!!! Would HIGHLY recommend them :)

My wedding cake was beautiful not to mention delicious. They worked with me to get everything I wanted. I would highly recommend them!

We got our cake from Modern Pastry and they did not disappoint! Lisa and Carla were so attentive to all the details that we wanted to include in our cake. Each layer was a different flavor combination and we got such good feedback on how good the cake was at our reception. We can't wait to defrost the top layer for our 1 year anniversary! Thank you!

Cake was ordered the day before the wedding and she did an awesome job !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The cake was stunning and just the way i wanted it! It was excellent cake too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We want to thank Modern Pastry for the beautiful job they did on our wedding cake! It was delicious and beautiful just what we wanted! The only con we have is that we asked for a 5 tier cake and only got 4.

The cake was delicious and looked presentable. However, we wanted something a little more elaborate with decoration, but the person doing the consultation couldn't understand our vision, even with pictures.

We loved our cake from Modern Pastry - they did an excellent job! We selected the raspberry and ricotta filling with a buttercream (I'm against fondant) and it tasted great - moist and flavorful, all the guests seemed to love it too. The price was extremely reasonable - well worth the money compared to other wedding cake vendors we looked at which were twice as much. One note - we worked with one employee at the beginning who wasn't very helpful in terms of how much cake we needed, what kind of decorations worked, etc. The couple next to us was working with Lisa and getting a much better walk through of the cake options, but we felt terrible asking to switch associates. We eventually left and then came back at a time when Lisa was available to speak to us - it put me much more at ease. In the future, I would request to speak to Lisa directly as she seems to be much more knowledgeable.

Modern was recommended by my banquet hall and what a wonderful recommendation it was! My husband and I were shocked how helpful they were when we went in for our tasting. The woman wrote down what I picture and I was amazed on my wedding day at how wonderful the cake tasted and looked! We will be going back on our anniversary to get a layer of our cake redone as we couldn't wait the year to eat it!

GREAT. I have been a patron my whole life and the did not disappoint. The cake was perfect and the taste testing was great, I would almost get married again just to do it (cake testing) over!

My husband and I mainly worked with Carla. She was very flexible and made sue that we left the store with a smile. The cake was soooo delicious, and everyone enjoyed it. They arrived in a timely manner and were very professional.

I used Modern through my wedding venue and was so thrilled with the quality of the cake -- both in taste and appearance. People still talk about it! Truth me told, I was a bit nervous about using them as they were much more of a bakery / mom and pop shop. I was really into using someone who had be published or could come up with some crazy style cake. I'm SO glad that I resisted the urge and stuck with Modern. They did an incredible job. The cake was my favorite detail of the day! Everyone remarked on how delicious it was (chocolate cake / raspberry whipped filling / chocolate ganache buttercream).

Modern Pastry is the best! Our 5 Tier cake was amazing exactly what we were looking for and designed!! Lisa & Carla are so helpful!! Delivered on time and in perfect shape! A+++++++

My father and I went to a cake tasting here and it was delicious. They were very patient with us because I had to go back several times to finally decide on a flavor (several layers with different flavors) and design. It was a little pricey at $3 per serving, but they were very accommodating and suggested I have the wedding cake a smaller size and supplement the extra servings with a sheet cake which looks the same once it is cut up and is only $1 per serving. They folks were very helpful and eager to help me, the bride, get exactly what I wanted.

Our wedding cake was spectacular! It looked and tasted better than expected!

The bakery was included with my reception package at the Marriott Hartford Downtown. They was absolutely wonderful to work with and the cake was delicious. I was surprised to hear from guests that they was impressed with how the good it tasted. There was a lot of cake leftover, so when family members came over to my parents house after people were able to eat more. The two sisters had a lot of ideas and suggestions on how to decorate the cake based on the information that I provided to them. I would definitely go back and get other cakes from them in the future.

The cake was beautiful and delicious. Lisa and Carla are a joy to work with.

Modern Pastry provided a great tasting and allowed 4 of us (future husband and his parents) to try as many different combinations of cake as we could possibly dream up.I gave them a few photos from magazines of cakes I liked and they came up with an amazing creation. It tasted great and I was pleased with their service. I didn't have to worry about delivery or confirmation, they handled everything directly with the reception venue.

Delicious! We had our cake included with our venue, so our choices were limited to white, chocolate or marble. We wanted a strawberry cake! So, the owner worked with us to incorporate the fruit flavor - she gave us several options of jellies, fresh fruit, mousse and even made some samples of each. We looked at pictures that she had (bring your own pics if you have them!) and told her our likes and dislikes and she designed a beautiful cake - gave us a copy of her "drawing" and the details... how many layers, diameters, frosting, filling, etc.

i love this place the people are soooo helpful and nice and not to mention the cake is out of this world.

Friendly, professional, easy to work with, knowledgable and most of all YUMMY!!My cake looked exactly like the picture I gave to them!I wanted our initials monogramed and the exact cake Avril Lavigne had and I got it!So glad I used them!

The people at Modern were very friendly. They answered all of our questions and then some. The were very helpful with the whole situation since we had no idea what we were doing.

Eager to let customers sample cake flavors and frosting. Food was delectable. Lisa was a joy to work with. Cake was delivered on time and perfectly set up. Absolutely gorgeous.
