Providence Spotts

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Providence. The cakes are to die for and they have so many different flavors it was hard to choose from. We had a 3 layer cake and every layer was a different flavor. All layers were delicious and moist. Blueberry lemon with fresh blueberries, Tandycake & Lemon Raspberry. I cant wait to go back and order more cakes from her as she is a true genius! I provided a vision of what I wanted with gum paste orchids and she made them look so great everyone thought they were real! Amazing is all I have to say!!!

Providence cakes are to die for, however the service at the bakery is to be desired. After our meeting with Providence, it took THREE months to receive a contract in the mail. Once we got it; there were errors and it took another few weeks to get that adjusted. While I was waiting for the contract (I was told it would take 1 month), the girls in the front acted like I was stupid for calling about it to make sure it didn't get lost or anything. Also, the day before my wedding I received a phone call from the bakery telling me that they cannot use the flowers that I have provided. I asked if they could just figured it out....this wasn't really what I wanted to deal with the day before my wedding.....they are the professionals in the business, not me.....they did figure it out and the cake was gorgeous. If you're willing to wait forever for an appointment and then another few months for a contract and deal with some snotty phone calls and a delicious cake, then Providence is your place for your wedding cake!

My family used to own a bakery, so it was crucial that I had an amazing wedding cake. After consultations with two other bakeries, I was so relieved when I found Providence. She showed us tons of pictures to figure out exactly what we wanted, and the cake itself was TO DIE FOR!!! It was great, other than one detail that was missed on the cake design, and I would recommend her, if you don't mind that they lacked some organization and communication.**On a side note-- please make sure you keep the board that the cake is delivered on. I was not told I needed to keep it (too many other things to worry about during my wedding anyway) and it's a $50 charge for not returning it!! That was a shocker that I wasn't too happy about!

I really wanted to use Providence Cakes based on a referral and also because the look of the cakes are gorgeous. BUT....after 4 weeks of dealing with trying to finalize everything I decided that the lack of customer service I received is the reason I will not go forward with an order. If your first impression is not good and you feel there is a lack of service on follow up and your gut keeps telling you something is off... listen!

Providence cakes are simply the best! I've been to a number of weddings over the summer, so I've had a lot of wedding cake recently... I could definitely tell the difference between a Providence cake and other cakes. At every wedding with a Providence cake, all the guests are talking about it. They are the most beautiful, most professional, and best tasting cakes of them all.

Providence replicated a photo that we brought to the tasting for our wedding. She did a wonderful job and the cake was moist and flavorful, even the fondant tasted good! We had lots of leftover cake as well because the cake was so big. I would definitely recommend her and have confidence in her abilities to not only make a cake look beautiful but to taste delicious as well. My only advice to her would be to make a website!

WE LOVE PROVIDENCE! We had no problem deciding on who was going to make our wedding cake. We had been getting cakes from her for many occasions and have always been more than happy. The cake was made exactly what we wanted. We got so many compliments.

I had heard through word-of-mouth that Providence Cakes were one of the best in the area. I was disappointed to find that they do not have a web site. What professional business in this day and age does not own at least a very simple web site. I discovered that the owner, Providence Spotts had a Facebook page, and proceeded to message her my questions regarding wedding cake testings that way... Never received a response. My last attempt was to visit the bakery itself. I, my fiance, and my mother went in to the bakery to ask about the process of setting up a cake tasting. It just so happened that it was my birthday in the coming week as well, so we wanted to order a simple cake for that as well. The girl at the counter was VERY rude, and short with her answers, stating that to order a cake, we would have needed to do so much earlier, and that we had better be "prepared" with ideas if we decided to do a wedding cake consult with Providence because she does not like when a couple comes unprepared. Aside from the terrible staff (I can only speak for the one employee who waited on us), the cake itself was not good. The butter cream frosting tasted to me like frosting mixed with a tub of margarine. Too buttery - not sweet! I also ordered a specific flavor for my cake, and could not taste that flavor whatsoever. Overall, I was terribly disappointed, as I went into the ordeal excited about my future wedding cake! What a way to be treated.

Providence Spotts provides the wedding cakes for the Yorktowne Hotel reception packages. The cakes taste absolutely wonderful!!! They were able to make the exact cake we wanted with 2 different flavors on alternating tiers. My husband even came up with his own flavor mixing different fillings and they made it happen. The cake was on time, perfectly decorated, and very fresh.My only complaint was that our initial meeting was very rushed. We drove over an hour to get there (were given incorrect directions over the phone by a very rushed woman) and then had about 20 minutes to decide on our cake. We met with the owner who was much more relaxed and customer oriented than the woman behind the counter - but we would have liked more time. They had to leave and deliver a cake so our meeting was kept brief. Aside from the initial meeting -the quality of the cake and decorating was superb. We even got a replica tier made for my wedding shower. The cakes are one of the best in this area for freshness and taste - our guests ate almost the entire cake, and we took a few slices home (as well as the top tier) because people were asking for more the next day!

The Yorktowne Hotel required I used Providence for my wedding cake. So many people raved on the quality of Providence cakes, I didn't request a change. However, no one warned me they will DELIVER THE WRONG CAKE the day of the wedding. No follow-up with me to apologize, either. They DROPPED AND RAN. Apparently, I wasted hours driving in from Philadelphia to pick a perfect wedding cake - colors, shapes, layers, flavors, flowers, etc. A generic white circular cake sat on a table at the reception. No pretty purple square layers. I even went in to the shop a few days before the wedding to confirm everything was a go and drop off my cake topper. They showed me the paper outlining all of the details I spent hours defining with Providence stapled to the sample pictures. They later told the Yorktowne staff I never picked out my cake. To DENY they screwed up is even more UNPROFESSIONAL! NEVER USE PROVIDENCE!

Our cake was gorgeous and delicious. At our tasting meeting, I gave her a magazine clipping of a cake I loved, and she replicated it. The piping was wonderful. The really great thing about her cakes are the taste! We got the raspberry chambord flavor, and we got a lot of compliments on it at our wedding. I can't wait for our 1-year anniversary cake!!

Providence Spotts is a truly gifted baker and such a visionary! She helped me decide on a cake that really let my and my groom's playful personalities show:) I decided on a cupcake tower with vanilla and chocolate cupcakes with a 8" round red velvet cake on top. You'd think these are pretty basic flavors but the taste of each blew us all away!! Not just ultra-sweet and sugary, but you really tasted the vanilla, the chocolate and the cocoa of the red velvet. We also order 5 desserts from her as well for our dessert table and they were just to die for! Each looked like a work of art to the point that you almost didn't want to eat it, but rather just admire! But needless to say, they were a crowd pleaser and went very quickly at the reception. We were amazed at the selection of desserts she offers outside of her extensive wedding cake flavors. I'd would recommend her for any special occasion. I ordered a chocolate peanut butter cake from her for my bridal shower as well. What an indulgent treat!! I have a bad feeling that most couples just order their special occasion and wedding cakes from the grocery store, but for the same price Providence is much much better and can't be beat:)

Providence bakery did an awesome job with our wedding cake (and shower cake too!) Not only was the cake beautiful but we got so many compliments on it! She had many choices of flavors of cakes and fillings to choose from and it was hard to narrow down our choices because they were all so good! We ended up choosing a different flavor for each layer of the cake. They were very professional and easy to work with. People are still asking me about where I got the cake!

Delicious and beautiful cakes from Providence. Very attentive to detail. I tasted lots of cakes and hers will be the one your guests will still talk about a year later.

Providence did a great job. My guests continue to rave about how great that cake was. If you remember to order it, she will make you a fresh 1 year anniversary cake to celebrate that for free! She made the cake exactly as I wanted it. I wanted a specific lacy rose pattern and she did it, no problem, no extra charge! Plus she's just really really fun to work with.

Prov's cakes are AMAZING. Anyone in the area should definitely consider her. When I was choosing my baker, her name was always the first out of everyones' mouths.

Providence came as a word-of-mouth recommendation from a few sources, mainly women who worked with my mom. She was wonderful to work with, a great value and the cake was astounding. She readily welcomed my mother, grandmother and me into her home for a cake taste-testing (hubby was sick and will forever regret being unable to make it) and then discussed TONS of ideas with us before settling on the right one. She's very patient and does a wonderful job: people actually ate our wedding cake. Try the white cake with strawberry filling (real strawberries!!).
