Portland Style Cheesecake Company

The cheesecake that Kim makes it OUTSTANDING!!! Unfortunately, her assistant isn't great - everytime I called, she was "on another line with someone else" and would take a long time to call me back. And unfortunately, ONE DAY before our wedding, she called to announce that she somehow couldn't find the cherries that were suppose to top our cake and would need to be switched with some other kind of fruit - nevermind that I paid through the nose for those cherries - still haven't gotten the refund I was promise a month after the wedding... Kim, keep up the great quality & work with the cheesecake, but hire a new assistant.

We tried to go through several of the more well known bakeries, but we didn’t want to spend a lot on our cake. So, we ended up finding Bambi, who is the decorator at Portland Style Cheesecake Company, but also does wedding cakes on the side. We proposed our somewhat crazy idea to her: 3 stacked square cakes (to look like Tiffany’s boxes) with a red fondant ribbon- all to match our table centerpieces. She took it and ran with it! The cake was PERFECT!

Although we didn’t get to save any of our cake, as it was left in someone’s van for a week, it looked gorgeous, and from what I remember, tasted pretty good too. We were very happy with the quality we got for our money!!!!

My husband and I LOVE cheesecake and decided that we would do something a little different, and have cheesecake for our wedding cake! It tasted AMAZING!!! We had 3 different tiers each a different flavor of cheesecake...and I brought in a picture of what I wanted the outside to look like and they did a great job of creating my dark choc. brown cake with olive green fondent ribbons around each tier! Loved it!!!

This review is really for Bambi Sorenson who is now with Portland Style Cheesecake!

Now, we all know, most people say they don't even remember the cake from the reception...well...I have never heard soooo many people talk about the cake from ours! Apparently, her chocolate cake is to die for. I only had one bite...and I don't remember what flavor it was. I had like four flavors of cake made. But everyone else had like 2 or 3 pieces! She made it square, didn't charge me extra and made it exactly the way I wanted it. I got a four tiered cake, 2 sheet cakes and mints to put on the tables with our monogram B on it for about $700. Mind you, I got enough cake for about 400 people. I think she also (I didn't see this...but people told me) pre-scored the sheet cakes and put a B on each individual piece as well. Her cakes are really good people. She will definitely do what you want her to do. The only downfall here is that she doesn't do email, and that was my main way of communication...calling her didn't hurt though, we just played a lot of phone tag sometimes.
