Lemon pound loaf, Birch log cake and mini red velvet cake pieces
Sherry H.

Best birthday cake, red velvet bites and lemon pound loaf for gifting! I ordered a birch log cake made of buttercream and it was excellent to taste and it was in room temperature for 5 hours without melting. We had a few slices on the next day and its still yummy not hard like a rock.

This is my go-to place for cakes since 2017 and they did not disappoint with the latest creation for my husbands surprise birthday party! I definitely ordered too big a cake, but I'm ok with having all the leftovers in the house because it was so good.

We ordered our daughter's birthday cake this weekend from Dessert Works and what a great choice! The customer service was awesome and the cake was delicious. It was such a huge hit, several party goers requested their info for future reference. Thank you, Dessert Works--we will be ordering again!

Did such an amazing job with a Taylor Swift themed birthday cake. Everyone at the party was impressed by the details. And it tasted delicious! Would highly recommend Dessert Works to everybody!

a baby shower cake and a gift bag

We used Dessert Works for my daughter's Children's book themed baby shower lunch. Delicious vanilla cake with lemon cream filling was expertly decorated, and baby boy onesie cookies were perfect for favors.

Ordered a cake for a special occasion and it was perfect! They interpreted my vision perfectly and the price was reasonable~ oh and it was delicious!!! Will definitely return and recommend to anyone. Thank you to the staff for all their help!

Chocolate cake with raspberry preserves inside. Delicious!
Tommie R.

I came here for a quick pickup of a cake. I called in to see what was available. It was my daughters birthday and I needed a cake fast. I was greeted by extremely friendly staff when I entered. They had a variety of cakes to choose from. I was able to add a little saying on top and they did it with gorgeous handwriting. I was also able to get a little candle as well-so convenient! This cake was amazing. The cake was light and fluffy and moist. The icing was not overpowering and the raspberry preserves inside was perfect for the flavor of the cake. The flower decorations on the top were adorable. I would choose this flavor any day. We will definitely be back! What a gem of a bakery!

I've had a great experience with Dessert Works for custom birthday cakes for my son for 3 years in a row. They do a great job of talking through what I want and making it a reality. They are also just really nice to work with and always friendly.

Adding strawberries is a huge no-no to anyone who didn't order a cake with strawberries.
Chaurice L.

I give 2 starts because the cake tasted good but I wanted the cake to look like what I ordered from their website. First big issue was they added strawberries and the cake was for my mom and she doesn't like strawberries. What if someone is allergic to strawberries. And because the top of the cake was covered in hardened chocolate I couldn't easily remove them and would ruin the top of the cake so I had to present the cake to her with strawberries on top. The strawberries didn't look good. Small and tasted bitter like not ripe. The cake advertised on their website did not have the entire top of the cake in chocolate ganache. The picture on the website just had it around the border. I had no time to complain, I needed it for a birthday celebration in couple hours but I think it is super important the customer gets exactly what is advertised especially when it comes to even thinking of adding any fruit. I will not order from here again unless I'm picking something already baked in their display in the store. Attached is a comparison of what I got and what's on their website picture. I got a 6 inch cake and it was $70 and not like the picture. That really irritated me

Ordered a winter themed baby shower cake and it could not have come out any better! Absolutely stunning cake everyone at the party loved it and it was very tasty! Highly recommend getting any custom cake from here!

This was the main cake--my friend made the cake toppers out of modeling clay, but I'm sure Elizabeth could have made similar.

I'm so happy that I went to Dessert Works for my son's first birthday cake! I don't live anywhere near Westwood (I'm on the South Shore), but when I saw the reviews of this bakery I thought I'd give it a try. It was definitely the right call! Elizabeth was incredibly detailed. I said I wanted a stump cake for my guests with a smaller smash cake. She sent over 4 distinct design examples that she had previously done. After deciding on which I cake I preferred, she talked me through the different flavor options. Usually, I dislike highly designed cakes. They look amazing, but they taste so-so. But the cake Elizabeth provided was so so delicious (it was white cake with a chocolate ganache filling and an airy chocolate frosting). Every single one of my guests was raving about how good it tasted. I will definitely be returning to Dessert Works for more cakes. Thank you so much Elizabeth and team!

Gorgeous birthday Cheesecake for my husband. As delicious as it was beautiful.
Lindsay B.

Great service, beautiful cakes and tasty treats. I ordered my husband's birthday cake here after being let down by another local bakery's cake a few months back. I wish I came here for my other event, but will definitely be returning here in the future. Highly recommended!

Delicious and lovely cakes! Good service. It can get crowded. Don't know where the line is for preorders. Just a number system.

I recently stopped into Ever So Humble Pie Company with Easter in mind, and it quickly turned into…read moreone of those visits where you leave with far more than you planned--in the best way. The shop is set in a funky old New England mill space that perfectly matches what they do: warm, a little rustic, and full of charm. It feels authentic right away, like everything coming out of the kitchen is made with care and intention. The pies are the main event, and they absolutely deliver. I went in specifically for a large blueberry pie to serve at our Easter brunch, and I'm absolutely confident it won't disappoint. Of course, I couldn't stop there--I also picked up a few of the personal 5" pies to stash in the freezer, which feels like a very smart decision for future dessert emergencies The ready-to-eat baked goods are just as worth your attention, but you have to time it right--they sell out fast. I managed to grab a lemon raspberry scone for the drive home, and I think it's my favorite scone now. Perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and exactly what you want from a great scone. Between the quality, the setting, and the variety, this is the kind of place that works just as well for a holiday centerpiece as it does for a spontaneous stop. I'm glad it's not closer to home though--it would be very hard to achieve my desired weight goals it if were. Just be sure to go early if you want the best selection of ready to eat goods.

Outstanding pies in all flavors! Our go to for many years for the holidays and parties.read more
