I ordered a cake tasting box from them for pickup and when I went to pick it up the shop was closed because of an error in their hours on their website. There was no effort to let people know the hours have changed, just closed for the day with zero warning. We've now been going back and forth with them, Jamie in particular, for a refund because at this rate we do not want to work with them for our wedding. I've called, emailed and messaged them on Instagram when I see they are clearly active and online and all of my messages are ignored. Save your money and your wellbeing.

I came across Love + Flour's booth at Snowport in Boston, so this review is for their baked goods…read moreand not the physical location. But now that I know they're in Salem, I'll be visiting very soon! The macarons were front and center in the booth, and I kept goggling at how beautiful they were. They are slightly larger macarons with generous fillings and bejeweled shells ($3.75 each). I asked the person manning the booth what her favorites were (sugar cookie and cookie dough), but I still had trouble deciding which to try, there were so many unique flavors. She was very helpful though. Macarons are generally gluten free, but some flavors had cookie or cake crumbs and were labeled as containing gluten (fyi all served in the same case). These macarons were certainly not dairy free, but I decided to try them anyways; they were way too tempting. The Tall Man and I ended up getting a guava and a gingerbread macaron. His dad got a pistachio and a cosmic brownie (typical brownie vs the peppermint version). If I had known he was going to get some, it would have made more sense to get a half dozen. Macarons aren't cheap cookies, but they were certainly worth it. The guava was the plainest in appearance and taste. It wasn't decorated, and only the shell was flavored not the cream; it was too subtle and could have used a jam. The gingerbread was my favorite of our choices, spicy and not overly sweet with a nice textural crunch with the mini gingerbread sprinkles. The cosmic brownie had fun chunky sprinkles and a very fudgy texture, which was more brownie than macaron like (probably intentionally), but the taste was like a typical brownie so I would get something different next time. I didn't get to try the pistachio, but my father in law enjoyed it, and he doesn't even like cookies. Everything on display was beautifully fun to look at. I was also intrigued by their hot chocolate bombs and cake jars, but more as eye candy since they were full of gluten and dairy (but would make for great gifts!).

Momdukes was with me, so I bought her an Almondless Joy. I got a report back from her today that she really enjoyed the flaky coconut topping. After viewing a gorgeous FB pic, I knew that I had to try the Pink Lemonade and also picked up a Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. Both were amazingly spot on with flavor and presentation. The day-glo pink cuppy with lemon-yellow frosting and the tiniest pink sprinkles is just charming as all get out. The flavor is a home run reminiscent of that cool refreshing drink on a hot summer day. The CCCD had me perplexed upon observation. Chocolate cake, with dough colored frosting and a few chocolate chips on top. The frosting definitely tasted like cookie dough. The surprise was when I took a whole bite to find a healthy knob of actual cookie dough resting comfortably inside the cake! The combo of these elements together makes for a WHOP-BAM-BOOM EXPLOSION in your mouth! ....and Erin just sits calmly in the corner, in the zone...diligently whipping up another taste sensation. You GO girl. (:

We chose the raspberry champagne cake. It was a delicate vanilla French sponge cake filled with a champagne sabayon layered with raspberries and covered with a champagne buttercream icing. My only regret is that I didn't order a bigger cake. It was all gone at the end of the evening!!! This was the one thing I was really looking forward to for MONTHS in regards to my wedding reception.

Full disclosure: We didn't end up working with Jenny for our wedding, but based on our experience…read morewith her before, during, and after the tasting, we would wholeheartedly recommend her. We contacted Jenny when we were looking around for a baker for our wedding cake. Emailing with her was easy enough and we ended up getting a tasting scheduled a few weeks out. Jenny was responsive and detailed in all of her email correspondence. When we showed up on the day of the tasting, Jenny welcomed us and ensured we were comfortable. It took me a few minutes to warm up to her (the fiance loved her from the get-go), but once we sat down and got talking, Jenny was fantastic! She listened to all our thoughts, despite them being less than precise, proposed a number of truly excellent ideas, all while showing us bits and pieces of previous cakes she made. Once we settled down on a couple ideas, Jenny sketched out a couple options, provided suggestions, and adapted based on our comments. I (and the fiance) appreciate when others can provide their own creativity and suggestions in a way that doesn't ignore or invalidate my (our) own ideas. This is one of the things that distinguishes a good service from a great service. At one point, we were talking about adding sugar flowers/hand painting. When Jenny realized that we weren't set on one of these looks over a simpler look, she volunteered pricing information and transparently indicated the difference in cost to aid us in decision making. We weren't concerned about pricing and hadn't mentioned anything about pricing to Jenny either, but the fact that she was looking for the best way to get us what we want without the "up-sell" was just awesome. I love when service providers are honest and down-to-earth like this. Moving onto the cake - when Jenny brought out the tasting plate, I immediately noticed that it was very carefully curated with different cake types, filling flavours, and filling types. The way she squeezed in so many different options that allowed you to get a sense of what she can do with a cake was brilliant! No other baker we worked with did anything of the sort. We definitely appreciated the ability to get a rather broad tour of Jenny's options in a single sitting. Let's talk about the taste. Just wow. Her cakes and fillings were superb. Some of the best we've had despite visiting three other very, very carefully curated bakers (from word-of-mouth recommendations, Yelp reviews, and multiple wedding website reviews). You could taste the quality of the ingredients, feel the perfect texture of the cakes, and pick out the tastes in the buttercream, fillings, and cake itself. Her cake wasn't overly sweet, which I've found is a common problem in mass produced cakes (where cakes are either dry and tasteless or moistened with sugar syrup and cloying), and her buttercream was great (of the European variety - hers is either Swiss or Italian, I believe - that is less sweet and more tasty than your more common American buttercream). We were both more than pleased with the cakes. Once we were done, Jenny wrote up a couple of quotes for us and sent us on our way. She was an absolute delight. When we walked out the door, we both knew we had a really difficult decision in front of us. We were waiting for a quote from another baker we really liked and Jenny, who was the last baker we had a tasting with, had just jumped right into first place tying with that other baker. After deliberating for quite some time, we ended up going with the other baker for the mere fact that she provided a handful of flavours that worked better with the direction we were taking our reception. We emailed Jenny once we made the decision and were surprised to receive a response thanking us and wishing us the best. That was totally unexpected, but very appreciated. Despite choosing another baker for our wedding, based on our interactions before, during, and after our tasting and on the quality and taste of her cake, we are convinced that Jenny would be an excellent choice for any special occasion. We'll certainly have to find an excuse one of these days to try her pumpkin spice cake!
