The Bake Works

Amanda was very helpful in providing us with recommendations and ideas. She was also flexible and set aside samples for us to pickup since my husband and I have hectic work schedules. The cake was wonderful!-- elegant and VERY delicious! I would recommend this bakery to everyone! We chose a red velvet cake layers around a chocolate chip cake layer with buttercream frosting. Mmmm!

A pleasure to work with , and such great design ideas! Our wedding guests never stopped raving that this was the best cake, (and not just wedding cake), they ever tasted. Delicious cake for any occasion!! Quality product and professional service ! Don't hesitate to use the Bake Works!

Our wedding cake was delicious. The red velvet is so moist, was not thy crazy about the icing. Was beautifully decorated and just what I wanted.

I'm going to keep this short and sweet...this was literally the best wedding cake I've ever had! And yes it is my wedding, so I AM biased, but this was the sentiment of every guest we spoke to about the cake.

So if you are looking for a GREAT tasting cake, PLUS, gorgeous display quality...Amanda and her staff at The Bake Works is where you should run to! And after the generous tasting, you'll need to run home as well.

Seriously, I cannot say enough about Amanda and The Bake Works. The cake literally was delicious, stylishly fitting for our theme and taste, and Amanda and her team were incredibly fun and professional to deal with. Definitely the highlight of any vendor visit that my now husband and in-laws...

The Bake Works was the preferred cake vendor for the Ram's Head Inn and we got a deal in our contract to use them for our cake, though we had the option to use another vendor. After talking to a few other bakeries, we decided that Bake Works made the most sense since we had the deal from Ram's Head.

We worked with the owner Amanda during our tasting and selected the vanilla cake with a layer of chocolate ganache and a layer of raspberry preserves in between the cake and vanilla buttercream icing. The cake was delicious and there was nothing left at the end of the reception. Several of our guests commented that they took two pieces and we even had bananas foster as a dessert option on top of the cake. Taste wise, Bake Works was amazing.

For the design of the cake, I initially showed Amanda a picture of a cake that I cut out of a magazine and it would have been twice as much as my budget. From there, Amanda was really helpful in making suggestions about what she could do within our budget that would match our style and the look of the wedding. The cake still ended up being more expensive than we wanted to pay as we bought ribbon and a cake topper separately, but what I learned is that wedding cakes are simply expensive. The one thing we weren't happy about with the design is that we bought a burgundy satin ribbon to run at the bottom of each layer, which is what Amanda suggested, but the buttercream bled into the ribbon so that ribbon looked brown instead of burgundy. I don't think anyone else noticed, but I did and was a little disappointed. Otherwise, the cake was beautiful and tasted great and I would recommend Bake Works. Also, check out etsy for cake toppers. I found a great one that was about $100 less expensive than the company that Amanda...

Bakeworks made the most amazing and tastiest wedding cake ever. So many people came up to us and wanted to know where we got our cake from. They were very accommodating and made each slice have 3 of our favorite flavors. Would absolutely recommend!

Love, love, love Amanda and The Bake Works!! We worked with Amanda through Merry Makers and loved the entire experience. My mother and I went to visit her for the consultation and left with so much cake! She encouraged us to take all the pieces home, that were left after our tasting, just so that we could share with the groom and everyone at home. She came up with unique ideas, suggested we use silk flowers instead of real ones (since they are cheaper and last longer), and had offered to make sugar flowers if we could not find the silk. Best of all, since she works with Merry Makers we did not have to worry about any follow up after the first meeting. She and The Bake Works were hands down one of the best vendors we worked with throughout our entire experience.

We had our reception at Smithville Inn and Bakeworks is the bakery they make you use.

Neither of us really like wedding cake so we decided we wanted to have brownies. At first, Amanda was a little hesitant about a brownie cake, thinking it wouldn't come out very well or would be very heavy etc. When we met up with her though, she thought of using brownie bombs! It was a perfect solution. They did individual brownie bombs, iced in either dark chocolate or white chocolate (creating a black and white effect) tiered in the shape of a wedding cake. They were delicious!! They pulled it off really well, considering it was something they had never done before. They decorated it with fresh flowers from our florist and it looked so pretty. It was exactly the look I was going for.

The only bad part about doing something unique like this was that there was a $2 per person upgrade charge : (

Amanda was very nice but not always the best about retuning...

Our wedding cake was absolutely beautiful. It was vanilla, with butter cream icing and chocolate/raspberry ganache in the center. It was definitely one of the best cakes I have ever tasted.

They were very professional and we were very pleased with the beauty and taste of the cake. They even called a few days before to touch base with me and give me the peace of mind that they were on target.

amazing! Everything I ever wanted in a cake and it was delicious!

Our cake was amazing! We continue to get compliments on it! They not only make delicious cakes, but they are artists and our cake looked absolutely amazing!! I can't wait to work with this bakery again!

Our cake was included with our catering. We showed up ready to discuss design and flavor options but soon discovered everything had an extreme up-charge that was not at all worth the price. Some of the flavors were good but none were excellent. They were kind enough to provide me with a gluten free small cake for me since I am gluten free but they admitted it was from a box mix and was not very good at all. None of our guest felt the cake was very good. But it was included so what can you really expect.

Seriously, the best cake I've ever had. All of my guests said the same thing. We chose a 3 tier cake for 100 people. layers of vanilla and chocolate cake with chocolate patry filling. We chose a buttercream icing instead of fondant. The cake was AMAZING. Their buttercream is the smoothest and creamiest I have ever had and that chocolate pastry filling is to die for. We actually wanted chocolate ganash originally, until we tried this! The buttercream was iced completely smooth, not one mistake. We had a black ribbon around each tier that was flawlessly placed on and my flowers and cake topper looked awesome. The price is high, which almost chased me away. However, after MANY tastings at other shops with lower prices, the quality WAS NOT THE SAME. It's your wedding, go with the best in the area, and that's The Bake Works!

P.S. I think we are going to eat our top tier now instead of waiting, it was so delicious!!! LOL

The Bake Works did an amazing job on my wedding cake! It was beautiful and they put together exactly what I was looking for! The cake went along with my theme perfectly and was delicious too!!

We chose two flavors for our cake. The display cake was almond cake with strawberry buttercream, and we had sheet cakes in the back that were chocolate chip cake with chocolate ganache. Both were delicious, and they made enough to serve huge portions to all our guests. So big win on flavor and portion size. The only thing that tainted my experience was the fact that they couldn't (or wouldn't?) find a way to put the cake on a cake pedestal that I had bought, even though I expressed multiple times that I hated the look of the foil-wrapped cake board. So if aesthetics aren't too important to you, I'd say The Bake Works is awesome. But if they are, consider going to a bakery that is more flexible in how the cake is constructed.

The Bake Works is amazing!!! Our wedding cake was gorgeous AND delicious!!! We were so happy with it and we also used them for the Groom's cake-WOW!!! is all I have to say. The request was for the cake to be a cannoli cake in the shape of my husband's 1975 classic mini cooper. They did not disappoint, it was amazing, looked perfect and wow'ed all of our guests! We will definitely use them again, and highly recommend their services.

Our cake was delicious and exactly how I had told them to design it. The staff was very helpful and professional.

Really happy with our cake. It was delicious and exactly what I had envisioned but better.

Our wedding cake was provided by the Bake Works. Gorgeous cake. I cannot say enough about the attention to detail on each tier of the cake. In addition to beauty, they make some of the most delicious cakes in NJ. I would highly recommend chosing the Bake Works as your vendor. A+

Cake came out SO great. It looked just as I'd expected. We had so much fun at the cake tasting. So many flavors to pick from. Their cakes are so different than anyone else's and they had GREAT recommendations that helped make up our mind. Also ordered a grooms cake in the shape of a pizza that came out adorable. Would definitely reccomend to anyone looking for a tasty great looking cake!

We meet with The Bake Work about a month before our wedding for a tasting. We show them pictures of what my wife and I were thinking for a wedding cake. We selected a few types of cakes we want to try for the tasting and they put a couple of extra cake on the tray for us. We ended up using one of the extras they put on the tray for us. When we saw the the cake at the reception we were amazed by how it looked. The cake could not have looked any better!

Beginning in 2009, Bake Works provided our daughter's engagement cake, wedding cake(s) and just recently, first baby shower cakes and all three occasions proved that The Bake Works is the finest bakery in all south Jersey. I would not go anywhere else for cake & baked goods. I'm a 45+ years baker (just for family) and theirs is the first cake I actually rave about - it's delicious, moist, full of flavor & simply the best! You can't go wrong with The Bake Works & you'll never find anything to compare to these baked goods! I highly recommend to any and all who are looking for a top-of-the-line product! very consistent too.

The Bake Works provided exactly what we wanted for our wedding cake. The design was exactly what we had in mind and the were flexible with changes we made (quantity and shape) in the last few weeks before the wedding day. The cake tasted great and I can't wait to enjoy the rest of it on our anniversary.

Bake Works was easy to work with. Our cake was a package deal with our reception venue so i don't know the price of the cake, but we had a great time designing our cake with Bake Works. We had the store make our grooms cake with a unique design which turned out amazing (chocolate peanutbutter chip). They were great!

Excellent, delicious, beautiful black and white cake. Very creative gorgeous design brought to life the feeling what we wanted. A little pricey for us but the cake was so good and the design was so good we had to go with them. Staff and owners extremely friendly and very helpful. Also make the most delicious italian rum birthday cake I have ever tasted.

Our cake was a package deal with our reception venue so I don't have a full response on working with them directly. But, our cake was delicious and beautiful -- just what we wanted! I would highly recommend their yummy services

The Bake Works cake was not only delicious (we had SO many compliments on the cake from our guests), but it was beautiful as well. My brother gave my husband and I a beautiful cake topper that wouldn't really work with the kind of cake we had chosen, so the girls at the Bake Works found a way to make it work and we were so happy with the result! Thank you for everything!!!

The cake was adorable, and more importantly delicious!
It was included in our total package through our reception at The Carriage House, Galloway NJ. So price was not an issue, this helped a great deal!
The cake was delivered in time and looked exactly how I wanted it.

Delicious cake!

A traditional tiered wedding cake by The Bake Works was included with our reception menu. We elected to "upgrade" the traditional cake with some custom design work and canoli filling. We had a meeting with the owner, Amanda, and reviewed our invitations, color scheme, even photos of my gown and our custom cake topper. The result - beautiful. Scroll work from our invitations was repeated the various tiers of the cake and the blue accent icing was dyed to match our Swarovski crystals Monogram cake topper. We also ordered a grooms cake - that looked like a striped bass as my husband is an avid fisherman.

We highly recommend the chocolate chip cake with canoli filling and buttercream icing... it's excellent.

Our cake was delicious! We received comments from our guests that it was the best wedding cake that they had ever eaten. The restaurant that we had our reception recommended the bake works because they work with them frequently and have a high quality product. This made it extremely easy for us and the cake was great!

Bake Works took some loose guidance from us and created the most amazing, most incredible, most beautiful beach-themed wedding cake I could have possibly dreamed of. Every single person at our wedding commented on not only the beauty of the cake, but also how delicious it was as well. I can't say enough great things about them!
