The Country Lane Cottage made my day extra special. I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted my cake to be so Esther asked me a few questions and then presented her ideas to me and I LOVED it!! The cake turned out beautiful and tasted GREAT! I have already used her for a birthday cake and that turned out great too. I would recommend Esther and her cakes to anyone!!

Country Lane Cottage listened to my desires and delivered results exactly to order. Owner/Operator Esther Black provides elegant, top-quality wedding cakes with promptness, painstaking effort, and professionalism. And have I mentioned her work is scrumptious? Husband raved and raved over the delicate buttercream icing and moist strawberry interior of the top tier; so delectable he couldn't get enough, we had to take the leftover cake along for the honeymoon. ;) Call off your search for the baker who will give you the wedding cake of your dreams; you've just found her.

I found The Country Lane Cottage here on WeddingWire. I live almost 2 hours away from them. But I fell in love with her cakes on her site. The prices were unbeatable! Esther delivered my wedding cake & sheet cakes over 2 hours away. There was a delivery charge but it was WELL WORTH every penny! Esther went over and beyond she did an awesome job at rearranging my flowers on the cake too! My friends and family can't stop talking about how incredible the cake looked and tasted. I've already referred 2 of my friends to The Country Lane. I'd marry all over again...just for the cake! ;) Thanks for making our day so memorable! --Ashley & Ryan
