Her cakes are all delicious, and the variety she offers with smaller desserts in addition to a main, tiered cake gave everyone options. After selecting the flavors, we gave her a lot of freedom with the creative design and only really mentioned colors we liked based on our respective bride and groom party colors. So we didn't know exactly what she'd do, but the cake she created was absolutely gorgeous and became a real set piece for the event. Can't recommend her enough!

There are tons of options on the website, ordering is easy, and the cake was delivered to our door literally the minute we'd entered into the order! The cake was packaged in a nice and sturdy box and looked gorgeous. Tasted great too, but some of us thought the frosting was a little too sweet (that's literally in the name of the business, so that's on us). Will definitely order again for a party and there are plenty of options to try!

I love this spot!! Such an underwhelming location with truly some of the best Viet food in Boston…read more I've been sleeping on this spot for so long, but my sister has been telling me about Dot Cafe and I finally made some time. This spot offers affordable and quick Vietnamese food and American breakfast. I actually only came for the Bánh Bột Chiên, Vietnamese fried rice flour cakes, but then I saw that they had Mì Quảng (it's new!!). It's a noodle dish from Central Vietnam that uses wide flat tumeric noodles, and the broth is a mix of pork and shrimp flavors. It was a little sweet, rich in flavor, and the pork was soooo tender. Not any, if very little places make this dish. My Sister's Crawfish used to make the best dry version of these noodles, but they sort of rebranded + relocated and don't have it anymore SO if you want some Mì Quảng, go to Dot Cafe!!!!

The hot chocolate was absolutely delicious. Rich, creamy, with little bits of chocolate floating in it. It was almost decadent. I was thrilled with joy! The Nutella pop tart was delicious, even though I saved it till today! The crust is flakey and lighter than one might think and the Nutella was still fresh and gooey without being too much. The fellow who served was friendly without being overbearing. I will definitely be back! I can't speak for the coffee, but the hot chocolate and pastry hit the spot.

Oaklead Cakes is a talented custom cake designer and bakery that specializes in creating beautiful,…read moredetailed cakes for all kinds of celebrations and events. We ordered a birthday cake from them, and it was perfectly made. The cake itself had multiple, well-defined layers and was impressively tall, providing a really great portion size for the price. The texture and flavor were spot-on, the cream filling and frosting weren't too heavy or overly sweet, so the whole cake still felt light and enjoyable to eat, even with all the rich chocolate inside. Based on this excellent experience, we'll definitely be considering them for their more elaborate custom-shaped cakes in the future for other special occasions. They clearly know their craft.

It is important to me to support local businesses and work with a fellow Latino for as many of my vendors as possible, so I was disappointed when this was the result with Noel. It was also awkward. One of the first emails asked him on a Monday if it would be possible to do a tasting that weekend, or what tasting schedules are / how he does them. He responded more than a week later saying "I don't do tastings on such short notice." No details provided on how he does them.

Their team has…read moreperfected a system to help couples design their ideal wedding cake, and the experience could not have been smoother. The process begins about three months in advance with a consultation, where you sit down with their talented designers to bring your vision to life. From that meeting, you're presented with several different flavors to sample. Pro Tip: have a few helpers ready at home when you receive the samples--you get more than enough for two people! For our wedding, we chose a Boston Cream Pie and strawberry combination, and it was absolutely delightful. Not only was the flavor incredible, but the design perfectly matched our cultural theme. The decorations were placed with precision, and it was clear that the team took the time to understand exactly what we wanted. One highlight was the "topper piece", which is cream-based and made for a perfect treat the day after our wedding. While many couples save their cake for their one-year anniversary, ours was simply too good to wait. By the third day after our wedding, the cake was gone--leaving us only with the tasteful memory of how special it was. If you are working with The Lenox Hotel, you'll benefit from their partnership with Dessert Works. And if you're not tied to a specific venue, but have the option to choose your own cake vendor, I can't recommend Dessert Works enough. They will make your wedding day both delightful and delicious!

Truly Magical! Worth Every Penny! As a first-time customer…read moreof Not Just Cake, I initially questioned whether the endless stream of flawless 5-star reviews could truly be justified. I had never tasted one of Simren's cakes before, nor did I know anyone personally who had ordered from her, so the decision felt like serious leap of faith. The price point also gave me pause, especially since it is easily twice that of established local bakeries like Konditor Meister, Yum Bunnies, Donnas, Flour, or Icing on the Cake, etc. However, after speaking with Simren, it became immediately evident that her work exists on an entirely different level. Her passion, artistry, and meticulous attention to detail are truly extraordinary. I ordered a Harry Potter themed cake for my child's 8th birthday, and I was absolutely astonished. The cake was nothing short of a masterpiece. The golden snitch, Harry's glasses, the sorting hat, and an unbelievable edible fondant book with the number 8 on top looked cinematic in their precision. The photographs do not even begin to capture how breathtaking it was in person. And then there was the taste. We chose vanilla cake, triple berry mascarpone, raspberry preserve infused with saffron, cardamon, and rose... it was unquestionably the finest cake we have ever tasted. Made with the cleanest, freshest, highest-quality ingredients and just the right touch of sweetness, it felt both indulgent and perfectly balanced. Every guest devoured it and wanted to know where it came from. After 40 years of trying bakeries throughout Massachusetts, I can say with complete confidence that this is in a league of its own. Simren is not simply a baker. She is a true artist. Not Just Cake transformed our celebration into something unforgettable. It is an absolute must-buy!
