The Cake Company

We did tastings with five places, and while we went with the Cake Company based on taste, they were also the second-cheapest place we looked into, so that worked out well. Some other tastings were a really formal stuffy affair, whereas at the Cake Company, we just showed up one day to find that the chef had forgotten we were coming in for a tasting! He didn't have anything special prepared for us, so he just took pieces of all the pastries and cakes he was making for that day and gave us forks. He was super laid back, but also professional- he does desserts for a lot of the nice hotels in town. The cakes were all really tasty and moist- we went with two tiers of red velvet and two tiers of this kind of almond cake/custard/jam combo cake that was awesome. He was very flexible about doing whatever we wanted, he showed up on time for the event, the cake looked great, was demolished by our guests (even though we offered other dessert options, and ordered more cake than we thought we'd need- we think everybody tried one flavor and it was so good that they all went back for the second!) I'd definitely recommend working with them. It was stress-free, very professional, and good value for the money.

I didn't have an idea of what I wanted my wedding cake to look like before going into The Cake Company, but my fiance and I flipped through a photo album of cakes previously made by TCC. We chose a cake that looked very simple and elegant. We tasted several different kinds of cake to find the one that suited our tastebuds, and we felt good about our final choice! Well, when the cake arrived at the reception site, it was cracking and the layers looked lopsided. The "R" initial we asked to be placed on the cake was crooked and not at all attractive. The cake itself tasted good and our guests raved about it, but we knew what we weren't happy with though no one else did.

I was most pleased with my cake. The groom's cake was out of this world -- it was even better than the wedding cake. The groom's cake was a soccer ball -- the fondant icing looked like real leather. It was amazing. The most incredible thing, though, was that both cakes (the wedding cake served 175 and the groom's cake served 100) were about $850 total.
