    From start to finish, Bavarian Cakery was one of our easiest vendors to work with. Their tasting process is very easy (and free), and they have so many flavors. They were also very flexible with allowing us to come back to re-taste flavors to make changes. The cake was beautiful - exactly as I pictured it, and everything ran smoothly with their delivery. The deciding factor for us was also that their prices were the most competitive for the high quality of sweets they produce! The attention to detail and cake stand rental were extremely valuable to us. We had a picture-perfect cake that was tasty, too!

    Tarts that were delivered

    I had requested a sample box for tasting of the desserts I was interested in prior to booking this vendor. We ended up ordering churro cups, macarons, and mixed berry tarts. If you are wanting churro, I suggest going with a vendor that makes them fresh on the site, it'll taste way better than cold/stale churros. In the sample box we received mixed berry tarts we received with fresh fruits on top, which was the main reason why we selected it for our day. I'm not sure what happened but on our wedding day, tarts were delivered but they were not the ones we had sampled. The ones that were delivered had no fresh fruits on top and looked completely different than the one we sampled. I did not see the dessert table on my wedding day but recently received my wedding photos, which is why the error was discovered. I reached out to Tara vie email about this. She admitted that she did not note what items were placed in our sample box. She also expressed that because she did not receive a missing piece of the macaron tower display, that the $200 replacement fee was waived and this can an be an "even trade" for their mistake. Tara contacted my coordinator about this missing piece while I was out of the country for my honeymoon. She never contacted me directly regarding this missing piece until I emailed her regarding her baking error. I'm not saying she's lying but there's no proof that this piece was missing or if this narrative is used as a cover up. She mentioned in her email that she was surprise to learn of the mistake so late but like mentioned previously, I just got my wedding photos back. There is a lot of moving parts on a wedding day and unfortunately photos are all that one had to recall details. I do not recommend working with someone who forgets what they placed in your sample box, delivers the wrong baked goods for your wedding day, and when you bring it to their attention, they try to manipulate the issue with another issue. The tone of Tara email was passive aggressive. A person is aware when they do something wrong. For a vendor with years of experience to claim that they didn't pay attention is beyond disappointing. I felt blindsided and did not get what I hoped for. There was no resolution for this error. If I can go back, we would have booked a different vendor that's detailed oriented, delivered the right items for their clients on the most important day, and has a better plan in place for customer satisfaction. For a high price tag, you would expect better execution and service, but that isn't the case for Bavarian Cakery. 0/10 recommend. Attached are photos of sample box and what was delivered on wedding day.

    a three tiered wedding cake

    BEST decision we made and you can do it too! Their signature Bavarian Cheesecake was the most delicious cake ever and we're already looking for another reason to order more. Our wedding cake was truly the highlight of the night, from the beautiful design to the lingering delicious taste. Every guest in attendance is still raving about our cake and wanting to know more. Tara captured our design vision and we were hooked from the moment we had our tasting. Highest recommendations and gratitude go to Bavarian Cakery!

    three cakes on a countertop

    This place is extremely upsetting. Our wedding was set for August 1, 2020 and the cake was paid in full April 13, 2020. Originally it was May 23, but they let us reschedule it to August 1 because Covid was at it worst. However, we had to cancel our August wedding because most of our family would not be able to attend due to Covid so we had a small ceremony in June. We asked Tara Little to reschedule the cake (I asked in June if we could do this) for December because we planned on having a reception with the cake then. We were told "there is a rescheduling fee of $175" and "because the decision is based on comfort level". The cake had been paid for, it's not like the cake had been made already. And she said the date in December was available, but wanted $175. For what? Who knows. I told her there was no reception in August and that we did not have another $175. She would literally be making a cake for no event. Her response "if you change your mind, please let me know or if you want a 6" small cake for later, let me know. Those are only $45". So we had no choice but to make the sad trip from College Station to Houston to pick up a cake meant for 65-70 people just for it to go to waste. My husband went inside to pick it up and the customer service was terrible. In the cost of the cake was a $45 delivery and set up fee, and when we called today asking for that back, the assistant said Tara would call us to discuss it and we never received a call. As far as the cake, HEB could have done just as well, if not better. The purple is completely uneven, and it just looks sad. I am thankful we did not have a reception because I would have been so embarrassed to have this as my wedding cake. I don't know if they made it sad looking because they knew we weren't having an event for it, or what. But now there is a very sad bride who when I think of my wedding cake, this is what I have to think of. A waste of cake and time.

    The finger prints were our fault since the cake fell off its base in our 1.5 hour car ride home.

    Cake was amazing. My favorite flavor was the strawberry and spiced. They delivered early and exactly as we requested.

    Very Disappointed - Do Not Recommend for Special Events…read more I ordered a quinceañera cake from M.E.B. Cakes through Houston's Ballroom for an April 2025 event. We had a detailed design consultation, provided a specific color sample, and paid extra for custom floral decorations the bakery agreed to provide. On the event day, the cake was completely wrong--the color was a deep green that clashed with the event theme and dress, and it arrived undecorated. The bakery claimed they couldn't find the right flowers and added mismatched artificial ones at the last minute per my request. When I asked for compensation, the owner offered only another cake for a future event--not a refund. I even consulted another bakery who confirmed the extreme color difference wasn't a reasonable "weather issue" excuse. Neither M.E.B. Cakes nor Houston's Ballroom took responsibility for the disappointment. Be cautious if you're considering either vendor for a once-in-a-lifetime celebration. Note: M.E.B Cakes might offer their justifications. Simply read through other evaluations and let me know if this isn't a pattern of poor service.

But this review is for my last cake in August 2023, I had a baby shower cake, our order was taken by a new lady that didn't know a lot about cakes. She wanted me to know already what I wanted even though I don't remember anything about cakes or fillings names . When my mom told her the cake for me was supposed to have a particular color because the gender was a surprise, she kept asking in front of me what color, and then my mom wrote it for her so I wouldn't listen and she yelled "you're having a girl! Congratulations!!" Really ? I had just told her it was a surprise and I didn't know. I know she was just hired but we didn't like our experience that day. Then the day came when we picked up the cake and the colors were very different than what we asked we even had sent a picture, and we asked for Italian creme but the cake had a coconut flavor that everybody kept saying if it was coconut, it was good but not what we asked for, also the breading crumbled really easily. Hopefully this review is taken into consideration to improve the quality of work that the bakers and administration do, the cake was too expensive in our opinion to not get that quality service that we have known for years.
