Natalie baked and designed our cake for our June 2017 wedding. The cake turned out beautifully, and was delicious!! I've been to many weddings where the cake just tastes "meh" or even awful, but our cake tasted amazing and we kept getting compliments from our guests all night. We chose a brown butter cake with layers of raspberry cream and a vanilla buttercream frosting. The cake and frosting was the perfect consistency. We liked that Natalie uses high quality and all-natural ingredients, and you can really taste the difference. We would highly recommend Natalie and Pastry by Day for wedding cakes.

Gabriella did not just make a wedding cake for us, she made a dream a reality! Even before we had picked a date we knew what cake we wanted and she exceeded out expectations by a lot! We had a custom beach themed wedding cake with four tier cake with "sand" and "shells" and two beach chairs as the topper. We had alternating vanilla and banana levels. The cake was flawless, the love and care she puts into her work is so obvious in the results. Every guest at the wedding RAVED about the beauty and the flavor. I would recommend SugarKiss to anyone and plan on using her services again and again!

Gabriella was amazing to work with and baked our beautiful wedding cake and mini pastries. We received many compliments on the cream and fresh berries. She also customized the cake with flowers and an A to Z engraving on the top to match our wedding theme. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

We needed a smaller cake for a small wedding and Susan was willing to do a 4inch/6inch tiered cake with one tier gluten-free and the other gluten-full. After our tasting we asked for even more citrus flavor in our lemon and blood orange cakes and she delivered! Yum!

Where do I begin, Kristi communicate with me through out my planning of the wedding. My cake was exactly what I asked for from the flowers, style and flavors which was coconut and chocolate. My guest could not stop talking about how good and moist the cake was. I’m definitely keeping her number for a few events I have coming up. Thank you again Kristi for my wedding cake .

Yummy Cakes By Joanna
Yummy Cakes By Joanna
I am terribly displeased and upset by the fondant wedding cake that was delivered by Joanna Banks on October 21 for my wedding in Manhattan. On purpose, I waited awhile because my husband and family were very disappointed with the wedding cake and how it turned out. I wanted to take time to be less emotional when I communicated with her or with Thumbtack. It has been two weeks so I believe I am now level-headed and that I now can make a reasonable fact-laden review. During preparations, Joanna Banks was very nice and agreed to my every request: 4 fondant tiers with different flavors per tier. Cascading fall leaves from the top tier to the bottom since the wedding theme was "fall" and two cat cake toppers and the moulds will look like the cats in my invitation. So imagine, what I felt when I saw my cake for the first time! I was so aghast! (See attached photos.) First, the person whom she sent to deliver and assemble the cake left the reception venue and instructed my friend/guest who has no experience in setting up a cake, to do it. I understand that the wedding venue made him wait for quite some time but still he should have been professional and made sure he set up the cake himself because it was not my friend's job to do it. Also, when I asked Joanna Banks on my wedding day why the cake assembler left, she replied that the driver had to make another delivery and it was simple to assemble the cake. Was that what a professional should have done? Leave the cake just like that and not making sure he/she did it himself to ensure a decent finished product? Second and most importantly, the cake was tilting and looked dilapidated! By the time of the reception, it looked like it collapsed and was uneven. It looked like a cartoonish birthday cake for a child than an elegant fondant wedding cake with four tiers. The agreement was that the bottom tier was a Rectangle , the third one a hexagon and the top two tiers were both round. The cake just looked like they were stacked unevenly one on top of another! The shapes were not clear or discernible. The cat moulds were ugly and did not look like cats at all. They were supposed to look like the cat designs on our wedding invitation (see photo attached.) The leaves she used did not resemble the leaves I used in the wedding venue for decors which she agreed to copy. The leaves she put on my cake were just made from cookie cutters and the leaves had dull colors without vines. As for taste, the cake was generally ok, not superb for the worth of $350! The taste of the red velvet tier was ok. The largest vanilla tier's texture was too moist and not in the good way and the chocolate mousse seemed like choco pudding instead. My mother-in-law said the taste of the second tier (vanilla with peaches) was too sweet. The topmost smallest chocolate tier was ok. All in all, the cake was way below par and now after I told her what happened and showed her pictures, she just said "she didn't know why that happened" and "she's confused" why the cake looked like it melted. In her words, the cake was "mishandled". The cake could not have melted because the venue was indoor and it was not warm in the venue and it is falltime, not summer! To add insult to injury, Joanna Banks sent me a photo of a three-tier cake she allegedly/claims to have made just last week. So I asked her: What then happened to my cake? How come it wasn't anywhere as decent-looking as the picture of the cake she showed or those featured on her website? She hasn't offered any reparation or refund for the cake despite my complaints. Neither has she called me (she definitely knows my number) to personally apologize. The end result was really a failure and my best man who paid for the cake $350 (plus $50 for the cookie leaves) as his wedding gift said the cake was not the worth what he paid for. Had I known that would be the end result I would have just gotten the money and bought over-the-counter cakes from the regular bakery and served those to the guests. I was so upset during the wedding day and shortly after that my guests had to make a joke out of it to pacify me and divert my attention away from the cake. I was too embarrassed to serve the cake to the guests. Only those who stayed later, tasted the red velvet tier and we just brought home everything. I was so embarrassed to my guests about the dilapidated cake that looked like an uneven giant marshmallow instead of a professionally-made fondant cake. Please let this serve as a WARNING to all brides getting married. Try not to get the lowest bidder all the time, especially for your wedding cake. Make sure the cake baker knows what he or she is doing. A wedding cake is not just a regular birthday cake that you order anytime. Hopefully, you only get married once so choose a reliable cake baker with a good reputation and which you have tried and tested. Don't leave this to amateurs or you will regret it like I did. What was so disappointing was that Joanna Banks was the first supplier I chose and I even sent her via email a detailed document with details and pictures so she can have a guide when while she was preparing my cake. She said she understood and she appeared sincere during coordination. She had at least two weeks to prepare. I don't understand why the cake was such a disaster. I have chosen all my other suppliers (just a few days before the wedding) from Thumbtack and have given a 5-star rating to my DJ and make-up artist, and a 4-star rating to my limousine service (I'm still waiting for output from my videographer and photographer) so I'm not giving an unreasonable rating to this. I just no longer want any other bride to suffer the same agony I did for choosing the wrong wedding cake supplier.

I finally figured out how to update my review. I wanted the opportunity to explain how much we appreciated the service Anna provides. If the review it too long just jump to the end. First, Anna is super responsive. When I listed the project she reached out right away and minutes later was on a phone call with me discussing options. During our consultation, we discussed the vision for the cake. She really took in our input, asked for a few pictures of designs we liked and before the end of the call we had a sketch of a beautiful cake for our wedding. She really took the time to understand what we wanted and was patient in answering all of my questions. Next, she arranged the most amazing cake tasting. My fianceé before the visit wasn't a huge fan of wedding cake but Anna turned that all around. Delicious is not descriptive enough to describe the selection of cakes, creams and fillings Anna layed out for us. We were so busy sampling delicious cakes we almost forgot we needed to pick the combinations for the wedding. It was the most fun part of planning a wedding to date. Anna was more than helpful in providing samples, answering questions and helping us finalize the design of our cake. We can't wait to see the end result as we trust Anna will do an outstanding job. Overall, Anna is professional, personable and an expert in her craft. If you are looking for beautiful looking, excellent tasting cake at a great value hire Anna immediately!

Natalie made my wedding cake and she did a beautiful job! I didn't really have a strong idea of what I wanted, but she brought together some of my ideas in a really cohesive way and I was so pleased. She was a very cool person and gave me an unbeatable price. Everybody thought the cake was delicious. So glad to have found her!

We were so happy with our decision to hire Bumble Bake to make our wedding cake! They did a two-tiered blue velvet cake for us with a cream cheese buttercream icing - it was FABULOUS! Bumble Bake communicated with us every step of the way during the design of our cake to make sure all our expectations were met. They also delivered to Manhattan in a very timely manner. It was seriously so good that we didn't even let the guests go home with any leftovers - we took the rest home for ourselves! Highly recommend!

Two weeks before the marriage, our wedding cake designers backed out on us. By the grace of God we were able to find Aroma Bakery!!!! It was only God that could lead us to such wonderdul people. Despite such circumstances Aroma bakery, took on our project and went above and beyond to ensure that the bride got everything that she needed. The cake was beyond gorgeous and absolutely delicious.

Sarah did an amazing job on taking our cake design and turning it into a reality! It was exactly what we had hoped for.. She knew that the flowers meant a lot to us and went out of her way to find the exact flowers we wanted... We also asked for specific flavors to our Italian Culture and she did just that. In fact our guests were beyond words about the flavor.. Thank you so much Sarah for our beautiful wedding cake!

Dee created a selection of mini cakes for our wedding. These served as favors for our guests. From day one Dee was always quickly responsive and available to answer all our questions. This was a very last minute request with a number that kept changing as the days progressed. Dee did by miss a beat and was extremely accommodating of our changes. We were very happy with the final products-the cakes were so cute (our guests loved them) and the taste was delicious!

It was my pleasure to work with Chef Joy. I felt special and appreciated. Her expertise goes above and beyond! Chef Joy takes the pressure out of trying to create your wedding cake....she bares all the weight and created a cake that was so exquisite that I did not want to cut it; much less eat it. THE CAKE WAS DELICIOUS!!!!!!!OMG! I did not do a tasting only because I was stressed for time. Chef Joy took the pressure off of me, I did not worry about a thing. My fiance and myself just left it in her hands and we were not disappointed. Her cake flavor combinations tickles your senses and the texture was perfect. Chef Joy has gained a client for Life. I truly mean that....thank heavens I finally found a true pastry Chef who does everything and is a keeper!!!!!!!
