A Simple Cake is simply fantastic! Nicolle is responsive and thoughtful. We started with a fun cake sample trial kit to taste all of the delicious options. We shared what we enjoyed most and Nicolle helped us get the perfect combination - Lemon Scented cake with raspberry cream and mixed berry compote. The cake arrived exactly as planned. It was beautiful and, most importantly, delicious! The restaurant saved my new husband and I the top tier, which we ate by a fire place on our mini-moon for the next three nights :). I'd highly recommend a Simple Cake to anyone looking for a beautiful, delicious cake for your wedding (or any special occasion). read more

A Simple Cake - a wedding cake on a table - Bakeries Near Me

A Simple Cake was amazing to work with from start to finish. Nicolle was very responsive and thoughtful throughout the entire process. She made the entire ordering experience feel very customized. Everything was very easy to order off of the website and she was very helpful in providing direction as needed as well. The cake was beautiful and very delicious. We got the toasted almond cake flavor with chocolate cream and raspberry jam filings. Believe it is a popular flavor combination called "Almonds & Jam". I really enjoyed how the toasted almond flavor was light and not too overpowering to really let the raspberry and chocolate shine. We wanted a simple but elegant design and Nicolle and team didn't disappoint! They also delivered to western edge of Long Island at a reasonable rate and everything was on time as promised. Highly recommend. read more

Easiest process ever, and a great value! read more

Nicolle was wonderful and responsive to work with. Let alone her cakes are delicious and beautiful. We went with the refined pleats design with floral accents. It was beautiful. We also did two flavors: 1. Espresso soaked sponge with chocolate creme and crushed raspberry crème. The we also did lemon sponge with lemon crème and lemon curd. Nicolle accommodated delivering two different tastings for us so that we could taste the custom flavors we put together and then also taste some of her other delicious cakes. She's responsive, communicative, and accommodating. Go with A Simple Cake! Simply delicious, beautiful, and easy! read more

Working with A Simple Cake was truly "simple" and really easy. The cake was delivered on time and in perfect condition. The cake was truly perfect, and my guests raved about the flavor: almond cake with chocolate hazelnut praline filling. read more

Working with Nicolle at A Simple Cake was truly a pleasure! From our first consult to the final creation, the process was easy, flexible, and well "simple" :) We started by going for a tasting where she brought us three different slices to try based on the flavor preferences we sent in beforehand. After tasting them all, she mentioned that she was working on something new and asked if we might like to try that too. We were so grateful, as that helped us land on our final choice, which was a lemon scented cake with layers of passion fruit curd and raspberry filling (a truly personalized creation). When it came time to coordinating with our florist to dress the cake, Nicolle was more than happy to be flexible and ensure that our cake looked perfect. After having looked at a number of bakeries, A Simple Cake is one of the best values with the tastiest outcome. Thanks, A Simple Cake! read more

A Simple Cake - PC: Ana and Jacob Murphy - Bakeries Near Me

I knew I wanted a minimalist cake with florals and stumbled upon A Simple Cake on Instagram. It was exactly the aesthetic I was looking for! When I ordered a cake tasting box, I appreciated all of the different flavor combinations offered on her website! But the coconut cake with passionfruit curd was by-far one of the best cakes I have ever tasted. We had to have it for our wedding! Nicolle was extremely pleasant to work with --she worked with our budget, understood our aesthetic, and was super responsive. She was also very understanding when we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID. Our wedding cake turned out beautiful and tasted just as delicious as when we sampled it! read more

Lauren and her simple cake just like the name - simple and great! The whole process is super easy and clear. You design the cake online, get a sample and order! Of course, if you have special request, you can always check with Lauren and she's nice and patient enough to give you the answer. Everyone love the cake and it's very beautiful! And I'm very satisfied :) You can not find a better cake at such reasonable price in NYC! read more

A Simple Cake - Simple and elegant :) - Bakeries Near Me

If you are looking for a simple, elegant, and DELICIOUS wedding cake, this is it!! Nicolle was super nice and helpful in our cake shopping process. We wanted a simple, elegant cake for our wedding and it was just like how we imagined! The process was clear and professional. We visited the kitchen and had a tasting session and it was a blast. :) We ended up ordering a three-tier wedding cake in Devil's food chocolate with layers of white chocolate cream filling with "Rustic Linear Ruffle" design. Our guests raved about the cake and we also loved it! The cake looked exactly like the sample photo. Thank you so much Nicolle! read more

Lauren is fantastic to work with- she is professional, patient and very talented. I had my friends pick up the cake as our venue was close by and Lauren was very helpful in ensuring the cake reached safely. She took the time to answer any and all questions that I had. The simple cake we had at our reception was even better than I could've hoped for. It looked beautiful and tasted even better! I highly recommend Lauren and A Simple Cake. read more

A Simple Cake - Dark chocolate cake with vanilla cream filling and buttercream frosting - Bakeries Near Me

After weeks of searching for a wedding cake, we could not have been more happy with Lauren and her company "A Simple Cake." From the moment we walked in, we welcome and at home. She was exceptionally accommodating when it came to meeting with us and the samples were incredible. On our wedding day, the cake exceeded our expectations both in terms of looks and taste. We received many complements on both and could have been more happy. Tonight we enjoyed our cake for our 1 year anniversary. The cake brought back so many incredible memories of our wedding night. We definitely recommend "A Simple Cake" to any couple looking for both a classy and unique design coupled with a delicious cake. Thank you Lauren for making our wedding day so special. read more

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! That's what I want to say to Lauren and Gail for making an absolutely gorgeous, non-budget breaking, and utterly delicious cake for my wedding. I was at my wits end until I found them. The cakes are beautiful, and not only is their so much choice for a smaller budget, but their kindness, professionalism, talent, communication and experience helped make what could have been a painful experience, so painless and easy. The cake was delivered on time - punctuality is my thing! - it was perfectly on spec and was a real highlight of the day. So much so, I barely had any - my guests gobbled it up! A perfect review in itself! read more

I'm so happy I found A Simple Cake! Nicolle was wonderful to work with and our four-tiered classic vanilla cake, with layer of raspberry cream, frosted in meringue buttercream and thin layer of vanilla fondant was nothing short of perfection! We loved testing the sample cake in advance (took it to a dinner party and everyone was thrilled!) and the delivery and execution of our cake on the day of the event was flawless, beautiful, and delicious. Our florist adorned the cake with fresh flowers with coordination and guidance from Nicolle. Thank you! read more

A Simple Cake - Perfection. - Bakeries Near Me

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!!! Lauren was a dream to work with, incredibly easy to get in touch with and extremely focused on making us happy. The cake was PERFECT in every way. We did a custom design of the rosette cake, with ombré pinks. Dark chocolate cake and hazelnut praline chocolate mousse filling/ buttercream frosting. Seriously the best cake I've ever had in my life. Many of our wedding guests made a point to tell us the same thing. We have a ton of cake left because our servers were a little skimpy with servings, and I've defrosted a piece to eat each week. Just as fresh as our wedding day, and its been almost 3 weeks. I'd give them 10 stars instead of 5. 100% recommend. read more

A Simple Cake - Bakeries Near Me

Lauren was AMAZING!! From the day that we came in for our cake tasting (which was one of my husband's favorite part of the whole wedding planning) to the day of our wedding, everything was absolutely perfect! I came in with pintrest photos of what I wanted my dream wedding cake to be and she went above and beyond with my design! I originally wanted a round tiered cake with white buttercream with 3 red roses, but with her expertise and creativity, drew up a way better design that was 100x better than I expected. She made my cake classy and elegant and used my wedding centerpieces as the basis for my sugar flower arrangement. The cake not only looked decadent, but tasted amazing as well; hubby picked out the flavors: chocolate chip cake with alternating layers of mocha cream and mousse --deeeeelicious!! Being a bride on a budget, her prices were awesome ($8.50 /slice) --we didn't even need to shop around, we booked her then and there!! She was true to her craft and an absolute delight to talk with. read more

In response to Gail's ill-informed post: Thanks for the response...but as your post proves, the lack in customer service at your shop is amazing. I did not employ any party/event planner so who you claim to have spoken to about my appointment, I would have no clue as I planned my entire wedding on my own. I spoke with you directly on the phone when scheduling the appointment and at no time was there a fee mentioned nor was there anything mentioned about what flavors would be served. Now grant it, I definitely should have asked, but it slipped my mind as I had not seen anything written on the website about any consultation fee. That, I will say, was partly my fault in not asking all necessary questions up front. I scheduled the appointment specifically for the tasting, not particularly the design aspect of the cake--customization of flavors is expected isn't it? Needless to say, that although you have made several brides happy for 3 years, this bride walked away with a sour taste in her mouth. read more

THANK YOU LAUREN!!! The wedding cake process can be pretty stressful...or what I thought was more annoying than anything else. I couldn't believe the astronomical prices I was getting for a 40 serving cake. Some pastry chefs would only do 2 tiers, others wanted over $700 for three tiers. As like all things wedding, my initial budget for a cake price was underestimated. Until I found A Simple Cake. Lauren made my fiance (husband now) and I feel welcomed and reassured. The price of the cake was totally reasonable and I feel really lucky to have found her. We talked about designs and tasted different cake flavors and decided on the lemon scented with tri-berry compote. Lauren has a true talent for design--she just knows what she's doing! At times, communication can take awhile, but I understand--she's a busy woman. All my guests LOVED the cake, both in design and flavor. They were raving about the taste so much that they were asking if we had leftovers. Since the cake's price was reasonable, we actually got something that was allotted for more guests than we had. So yes, we have a lot of leftovers and I've been happily enjoying this with my family and friends. Cake for breakfast for the win! read more

A Simple Cake - Picture doesn't do it justice! - Bakeries Near Me

Nicolle was great to work with! She recently made a cake for our wedding and we were amazed at how beautiful it looked and how great it tasted. She created a simple and elegant tiered cake which was exactly what we were looking for. Nicolle was also very easy and pleasant to work with - always available on email in a timely manner. She offered a cake tasting at her studio which was also a lot of fun. She is very professional, creative, and passionate about her work. I am so happy we found Nicolle and A Simple Cake for our wedding. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a cake for their wedding day! read more

I can not begin to tell you how awesome Lauren at A Simple Cake is but I will try . She is very detail oriented, professional, punctual, knowledgeable , and friendly. She genuinely loves her job. She not only made our cake beautiful and delicious , she was like a best friend helping us with detail in our wedding. I can not tell you how important that is to have in a vendor . She goes above her job description. Now onto the cake.. We had a lemon cake with fresh berries and cream inside. Our guests loved it. She also did a surprise grooms cake of dark chocolate and chocolate cream. Delicious! They keep the top tier of the cake which is perfect for freezing. Thank you so much again Lauren! read more

We worked with Lauren at A Simple Cake, for our wedding cake and what a pleasure it was! Lauren herself is lovely, talented and extremely professional. Nothing was a problem working with her. Emails and phone calls promptly responded to, tasting a breeze, and day-of delivery a non-issue! We had a three-tier buttercream, golden yellow cake with tri-berry filling and it was delicious. They have their own buttercream recipe and it definitely tastes that way without the weird grainy, sugary or oily feeling that you get from so many weddings cakes. We didn't want to spend a small fortune on the cake, but obviously wanted something delicious and pretty and A Simple Cake fit the bill perfectly. They had such wonderful designs to choose from and we settled on the Ruffles, which is one of their new designs and so divine! There are a few pictures of it on our wedding photographers blog here http://www.michellelange.com/blog/2013/04/01/wed-clare-john-new-leaf-restaurant-fort-tryon-park/ I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to any of my friends not only for a wedding but for any special occasion! read more

I am a Wedding Planner with Storybook Weddings and Events, and I had a client who ordered their wedding cake from Lauren for their wedding back in June. The term "simple" can be used to describe the cake, but "simple" is not to be used in a boring way, but in an elegant and classic way :) Lauren was even willing to do a very last-minute change to the cake when an idea came to the couple literally a couple of weeks before the wedding. (We ended up not making the change, but I really appreciated her being open to the idea, and for helping out). Pictures can be seen at: storybookchicago.com/jess-and-matt read more

I am very happy to have ordered my wedding cake from A Simple Cake: it was beautiful and tasty (almond / chocolate), and best of all, I was able to order online at a time that was conveninent for me. A week before the event, someone called to finalize the details, and went through everything I had included in the online form with me. All in all, very professional, and considerate: it was obvious they knew this was a busy time for me, and they were very organized. The experience was low pressure (never a push to add extras), and the result was excellent. I warmly recommend them! read more

Working with Lauren at A Simple Cake was so easy and enjoyable. They give you the top layer to save for your anniversary but it was so delicious that it didn't last very long. Highly recommend! read more

It has always been my dream to have a chocolate wedding cake, and Lauren did NOT disappoint in any way!!!! Firstly, she was incredible to work with (from the initial tasting & then designing the cake) - what a pleasure! Secondly, the final cake design - absolutely beautiful!!!! Lauren worked with my florist to recreate some of the flowers from my centerpieces for my cake. I was so happy that we were able to use buttercream instead of fondant (which I hate), and the chocolate cake with chocoate filling couldn't have made me smile more!!! read more

I recently ordered my wedding cake from this company. I had a surprise wedding so I didn't get in to sample their cakes and assumed by all the reviews that cake was fabulous. WAS I WRONG.....I wanted buttercream frosting which they agreed to....I got cool whip frosting and the cake was dry as can be. I wanted Lemon cake and got lemon pound cake. Well Im from Florida and Publix cakes are as good as these and way cheaper. The decorations were spot on a positive note. read more

I'm still on cloud 9 from our destination wedding in NYC! Lauren did a wonderful job throughout the process. We had a tasting during a visit to New York and she worked to accommodate our schedule. All of the choices were delicious! She called before the wedding to confirm the count and to find out whether or not we wanted to make any changes. We connected her with the wedding coordinator at the church and everything was handled beautifully! The cake was delivered on time and in pristine condition. It was delicious and all of the guests enjoyed it immensely. Lauren was delightful to work with and the final product exceeded our expectations! read more
