We did our cake tasting here today and had a great experience! Beth took her time with us and even gave us extra time tasting and deciding on our flavors! All of the cakes were extremely fresh and flavorful! The icings and fillings were really tasty as well! We can't wait to see how our wedding cake comes out! read more

They were fast and easy (I was able to send a picture) to communicate what we wanted for my daughter's baby shower and received a response on cost. The cake and salted caramel brownies were everyone's favorite but cookies and mini cupcakes were also delicious. We also had delivered and had no problem as it arrived packaged and on time. Did I say how delicious the cake and salted caramel brownies were? read more

TMB did my wedding cake a year ago and were a pleasure to work with from the very beginning! We also rented a cake stand from them which was beautiful. All of the staff was super responsive and the cake was DELICIOUS. I truly am not a cake person, but for their vanilla pound cake I sure am! We had 2 fillings and a sheet cake to serve which was all yummy. The best part is that now, a year later, they made my husband and I a complimentary anniversary cake because our cake top layer was frost bitten when we tried to eat it on our 1 year. They are truly so professional and accommodating, definitely recommend them for your wedding cake! read more

This team is INCREDIBLE!! They are so talented and creative, I could not believe my eyes when they brought out the cake I asked them to create. I sent them a few photos for some inspiration for a cheesesteak cake and they definitely delivered! It was almost too beautiful to eat, but we all couldn't wait to dig in, it was so delicious. My family has bought cakes from them for years and I could not wait to work with them on a cake for my husband's 35th birthday. Our guests were all blown away! We will be loyal customers forever! read more

Master's Baked recently did our wedding cake and it was amazing!! Not only was the design beautiful but the cake was delicious as well! They have so many great cake options/combinations and tons of design flexibility! They worked with us to pick the perfect flavors and to create a design that matched the theme we were going for at our wedding! Loved working with them and plan to go back for many future events! read more

What an AMAZING experience we had with the masters baker! I reached out to them with only 3 days notice (I was slightly panicked) I needed two custom cakes, custom cookies and cake pops. Not only did they accept the job, but we were blown away with how amazing everything looked and the taste was out of this world!! Communication was fast and they followed through with every minor detail. Not to mention, everything was delivered to me. So happy to have found the masters baker and look forward to working with them again. read more

I was introduced to the Master's Baker by a friend. They took care of our wedding and they are our go-to Baker for every family occasion and birthday. This year or even Christmas!

Our wedding cake was stale - not the same color of ribbon topping we requested (they had material as a sample color) - icing came off the top since they did not add the cake topper correctly as we requested. They gave us a small credit, but missed the point! Additionally, they will not honor the one year free anniversary small cake. We were away for some time and when we attempted to order the free cake, they claimed we were past the due date, although we were told earlier, since we were not in town, would honor it. Oh well! They lost a few customers! read more

Wedding cake purchased here. Absolutely delicious! Decoration was a subtle white on white but beautifully done!

Grace at Master's Baker was so easy to work with and was helpful from start to finish. We were planning a wedding from out of town and only had a few weekends where we'd be around West Chester to taste cake. We weren't able to get an appointment to go into the store to taste (apparently these book out months in advance), but they let us pick up three different kinds of cake, three icings, and three fillings to taste at home! Once we knew what kind of cake we wanted I just sent in a picture to Grace and they delivered! I asked them to use an inspiration photo of a round cake (photo attached) but to make it square (actual MB cake photo attached). They got pretty on point with the design and the cake tasted great as well! Lastly, Master's Baker coordinated directly with our venue to deliver the cake. I didn't have to do anything! So convenient. read more

Well your response was lame Chad. We were in church till after 12 at st Angus. We sent mom to get the cake, she had no idea. We expected more from you, not an order that was completely wrong, not even close. All white cake no flowers specifically requested .....a cross to celebrate her confirmation. All you can do is criticize us that we waited a month to call when it was actually 15 days. Instead of standing behind your work. We called several leading well known bakers who all stated the 40 plastic straws was weird. I mean come on Chad . Look at the photos Chad. If this is the quality of your work then so be it. IF ITS NOT THE QUALITY OF YOUR WORK THEN REFUND THE MONEY. It's not the money its the point read more

**UPDATE** Let's discuss racial profiling! The owner accused me of cursing out his employee and belittling. I told her the service and the cake was unacceptable. I then asked how she felt it was acceptable to deliver a cake that taste like metal. She apologized and said they had a new recipe. The owner claims that she was crying and I cursed her out (he wasn't even in the building when I spoke with her over the phone). Yet again, being firm and communicating effectively as a black woman is categorized as a curse out. Chad also told my daughter the only way she would get her money back is if I took down my review and wrote an email stating I would never write another review. Furthermore, if I wrote a review again, he would charge her card a second time. They are thieves and Racist to top it off. #Disgusting If I could give this place -10 stars I would!! The owner Chad is completely disrespectful and disgusting!! I ordered my wedding cake from here two years ago. A week before my wedding I still was not given any return phone calls or confirmation on the design for my wedding cake. At that time I asked to speak to the owner, and he confirmed that the paperwork was not done correctly, and that he would personally do my wedding cake and deliver it. He honored his word at that point, so I did not leave a review. However, yesterday I picked up a cake for my two-year anniversary, and it taste like metal!!! Chad was very disrespectful to my husband and my daughter when they returned the cake and asked for a refund. He said that I am negative because I called and asked why there was glitter on my cake and he said that is their signature. I did not ask for glitter on my cake, nor was it on my wedding cake. The anniversary cake was so bad that I threw up. He even told me on the phone yesterday that they will no longer be doing small cakes and only focusing on wedding cakes because they've been having so many issues. As a business owner myself I wanted to handle this situation personally without giving a poor review, because I understand the importance of good reviews. Normally if I have nothing nice to say I will not leave a review at all. He is absolutely a disgusting person and I would never refer this business EVER! I gave them the benefit of doubt, even with all the bad reviews and I regret it. read more

It would be nice if you told the customers who are placing orders on you Website that you are all booked up for the Entire Month of JULY so that they do not request a cake and think they are in Luck.

Hire these culinary geniuses! Planning a wedding - particularly during a global pandemic is not for the faint of heart. One of the best moves we made when we got to sorting ours was going with Master's Baker. We hired the best in the biz (seriously the BEST) and because we did? There was very little to worry about. These folks are organized, meticulous, and so obviously experienced. Sometimes we'd be like ... let's do this! And they'd be like, I like that but here are some things to think about based on what I've seen. (SO HELPFUL!) Communication from start to finish was organized, thoughtful, and geared towards giving us the cake of our dreams on our wedding day. Mission accomplished! We decided to go traditional with the Vanilla Sour Cream Pound Cake and Old Fashioned Buttercream and a minimalist floral design that made our cake topper really shine. The cake was beautiful and delicious. Truly not much more we could have asked for out of our wedding cake vendor. We can't wait to use them for future cake needs as a married couple. So grateful! read more

I ordered a dinosaur cake for my 4 year old and it was awesome! Chad responded to my request quickly. The cake was moist, the chocolate flavor was exquisite and the raspberry curd had just the right balance of acidity and sweetness. My husband doesn't care much for cake and in general doesn't have a sweet tooth but he devoured this cake. All my guests were raving about it and asking where I got it from. I highly recommend them! read more

I'd have to say I love the cakes displayed on their website and FB but the first time I tried getting a cake ( my daughter's 9th birthday Minecraft cake) from them was in March and I got told they couldn't help me because I needed to give them over 2weeks notice (I would have only given them one week), so I went else where. I never ordered a custom cake before so I just thought maybe that was my fault and moved on. Now I'm trying to get a quote for a surprise 40th birthday party in DECEMBER and I requested a quote on Thursday and still have to response. Good luck trying to get serviced .. Two times worth of poor customer service. Sorry I'll get it done somewhere else. Update: Please see photo below. Nice response to my review. Don't treat people like they are so dumb not to respond when they respond within the same day of the email. read more

Spectacular wedding cakes! Came out exactly as I imagined. By far the best flavors and cake texture of all the places we tried - we went with Mabel for some tiers and carrot cake for others, and a cinnamon sugar cream cheese filling that was amazing! Other places were dry or they would only do the diamond pattern in fondant (ew) but Master's Baker has the option for icing. They also matched my colors perfectly. My guests raved about the cake for months! read more

I actually found this on Yelp as I needed a 60th birthday cake for my boyfriend's parents. Yes, both parents were turning 60 within 8 days of each other and threw a surprise birthday party at our house. What a success, including the cake! When I called inquiring about their pricing and cakes, they were very helpful and friendly. I stopped in and dropped off the invitation asking them to replicate as best they could knowing it was for a man and a woman. Turned out classy and better than I had hoped for. $75 for 10 or 12 in round feeding 20-25 people was perfect as not everyone was a cake eater, but was worth the money. Everyone loved the cake and would definitely go back for other occasions! read more

Attended a wedding this weekend where wedding cake from The Master's Baker looked absolutely gorgeous, but was so darn dry. A Betty Crocker box cake would have been 10x more moist than this cake. Would only recommend to others IF you gain assurance that cake would be moist. read more

My friends and I took their French macaron class and it was so fun! The instructor, Ally was great, very patient, friendly and made it very informative and fun! The macaron came out great and we got to take them home. They even gave us treats from their pastries to try ( ALL so delicious!). I would definitely take a class there again! A great way to break up winter boredom! All their classes are listed on their website. read more

Master's Baker did a fantastic job on our wedding cake! We chose two flavors: orange zest cake with blueberry filling, and classic red velvet cake with cream cheese filling. Both were to die for.

We laughed the whole time but learned a lot! Our macarons turned out beautifully and tasted delicious. I can't wait to take another class with Ally or any of the other bakers. All of them were so kind and helpful to us! Their classes are definitely something to look into for a fun day or night out!! read more

I am a first time customer of this bakery and I asked them to make a spring themed birthday cake for my daughter's first birthday. They have a really easy to use online form to gather the requirements and I received an email the very next day asking me for more information. The team was super friendly and easy to work with. To say I was happy with the cake they made is an understatement! It far exceeded my expectations and I even considered not eating it because it was too pretty to cut. The cake itself was amazing as well! The lemon frosting was delicious. It was not too sweet and had just a touch of lemon flavour that really made it pop. We truly couldn't have asked for a better cake to celebrate this milestone! read more

The Master's Baker - a chocolate cake decorated with superheros - Desserts Near Me - West Chester, Pennsylvania

Terrible communication skills! Long story but I will try to summarize. After speaking with our consultant for over 20 minutes and EMPHASIZING on the colors of the wedding (dusty blue & blush) and CAKE color that we wanted which was like a powder blue color In which we showed her a PICTURE of where it is CLEARLY BLUE, she proceeds to show us color swatches and I see a pretty blue that is close to the cake I want and so I proceed to go with that one but she must have misunderstood and went for the one close to it and chose Dusty Sage even though the word SAGE never came out of my mouth NOT ONCE in speaking to her and going through all the details. I signed the contract after having just skimmed through it, did not notice the color she had on there but I felt pretty good after the conversation we had and I trusted everything was fine. WRONG! Two weeks prior to the wedding, I call the bakery to change the color of the cake to WHITE instead. I was not feeling so sure on the powder blue cake with all the different blues I was already going to have in the wedding so I felt safer keeping it white. My consultant was not in so I went ahead and just told the girl I spoke to on the phone to make a note of the change in color. I was on the phone with her for about 7 minutes. She even had me on hold to ask her supervisor what the new price was going to be since I did not want to go with any color anymore. The price was revised and the cake was now $15 less. So I made a full payment and thought we were all good. Wedding day comes and as I'm getting ready, my sisters run to me to tell me the cake is GREEN!! I panic and have to see for myself. It is GREEN and so is all the matching cupcakes and macarons. Not only did I not get a pretty powder blue cake, but I also did not receive it in WHITE as I had changed it to. I got a GREEN cake instead!!!! My sister goes on to call the bakery and I think managed to speak with the owner. He says that I had agreed to that Dusty Sage color and that was it. YES.. I own up to signing the contract not noticing it said Dusty Sage but I WILL NOT TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY because clearly the consultant did NOT LISTEN to a word I said and the girl I spoke to on the phone to change the color of the cake to white DID NOT COMMUNICATE that to anyone!! I spoke to the consultant a few days later and she goes on to somewhat apologize but also to remind me that I signed off on a Dusty Sage cake and that there's nothing she can do but have the GM call me. GM calls me next day (really nice lady) and listens to my concerns and sincerely apologizes for the mix up and my experience and proceeds to refund me $75 for screwing up the color of the cake and all the matching dessert. So... this GREEN cake RUINED my DECOR, RUINED my PHOTOS, RUINED my MOOD on my wedding day and RUINED the MEMORIES but I was refunded $75 out of over $700 I spent and I'm supposed to be ok with that I guess and expected to be content. Just be very careful so you don't end up like me!! And ask to see a photo of the cake the day prior to the wedding!! I think you can tell from the photos I shared which one is the one I wanted originally and which one I ended up with. read more

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. The Master's Baker team made a Halloween baby shower cake for my brothers coed baby shower. The theme was Baby Frankenstein. They listened to exactly our ideas and sat with us to design the cake. They made ideas into reality and exceeded our expectations. Our consultant even asked to see the party invitations to get the best idea for the cake to match colors perfectly. Our consultant suggested where to purchase the pram cake topper and filled our cup of happiness. She was amazing. The cake itself not only looked phenomenal but tasted that way as well. It was super moist, delicious and perfect for the day. I would highly recommend The Master's Baker to anyone looking for the perfect dessert to tie together all your party needs. The bakers and consultants working there deserve the highest regards as they were very detail oriented and incredibly nice. Thank you so much The Master's Baker !! read more

Delicious and creative! WE LOVED THE CAKE AND CUPCAKES! Ordered the cake as a unique idea for an employee birthday celebration. We planned a party for a Department of maintenance workers, groundskeepers and custodians. We wanted the cake design to be a surprise and told the planner about the office environment, the total budget and how many employees we were trying to feed (~50). So, we totally went in blind and let the experts take over from there. On the day of the scheduled pick-up, the cake and cupcakes were ready on time. The bakery helped package the cake and load it in the car. The cake design captured our Department perfectly and was the centerpiece of the celebration. The Master's Baker went above and beyond our expectations. We ordered the vanilla sour cream pound cake and we couldn't have been happier! This is my new favorite bakery and would recommend The Master's Baker to anyone! read more

We used Master's Baker for our wedding cake as part of our venue. At the end of the day, the staff members are nice, and the cake tasted great. But, there were some issues. For one, I don't know if there is miscommunication within the staff, but we got different information from different people but it eventually got sorted at the end. Secondly, yes our cake tasted great, but as a wedding cake, it should also look nice! I attached the 3 photos our photographer took of the cake, which shows giant cracks (who, by the way, wasn't trying to capture the flaws, just trying to capture the cake). This was even after we had rotated the cake, because the other side looked even worse! Unfortunately (or fortunately for our wedding album?) we didn't capture any images of the other side. read more

No other bakery comes close! Birthdays are special to me and everyone I know and so the cake, in many ways, has the star role in the party. We have been going to the Master's Baker for YEARS and never once have we been anything but thrilled! There have been times when we did not know exactly what we wanted the cake to look like but told them them theme of the party, knowing they would do something amazing. They did. They always do. And let's be clear, a cake needs to be "pretty" but it better taste AMAZING. I could go on and on for days about the butter cream icing...oh my. Their cakes are works of art...for the eyes and the taste buds. Now I am thinking about the icing. Oh no. I love to see small places like this thrive and know I will continue to support them. No other cake I have ever had has come close. Keep it up, Master's Baker!!!!!!! read more

UPDATE: The reply from bakery is quite interesting. A few points... 1. I asked for regular sprinkles and I was told they would NOT work if I wanted design elements added to the sides. 2. I specifically asked Jessica if the ombré would cost more. She went and checked with someone and came back to tell me NO-it would not be an additional charge. I was shocked, quite frankly. As you can see from the bakers response, I was in fact charged $17.50 per ombré. See added photo where you will clearly see there is not a clean delineation of pink from one layer to the next. It all looks like the same pink! 3. Since I was in your establishment for quite some time, I am surprised I did not see the sign you reference regarding unsatisfied customers. I am very detail oriented and even noticed the chandeliers in your other rooms. I also noticed that you "sell" busted up cake in bags that are leftover from the cakes people pay for...interesting! 4. The photos I provided did not look anything like the lonely fish that ended up in my cake. In addition, why would you use blue color icing for the word blue and white icing for the word pink?! Very rushed and sloppy writing on the cake. 5. I have since spoken to several people about my experience at your bakery. All of them had average to not so good experiences and were also blown away by your high prices for the lack of quality they received. They also told me that you charge for the wooden round piece you put the cake on... AND you don't tell people that if they return it, you will be credited for it!!! This is straight up sneaky and dishonest. Several people shared this with me! I was a first time customer about 2 weeks ago. I was pleased with the staff member that took my order. She took notes and did a small rendering. My cake was a gender reveal cake for our baby, due in August. I have been a designer for over 23 years, working with licensors like Disney, Nickelodeon, Dreamworks, Warner Bros and many more. I was very specific with the details I wanted on my cake. It was a 10" round cake. I requested the signature vanilla cake flavor with an ombré effect (either light-dark pink or blue, depending the gender of baby) and chocolate between each layer. I wanted an extra tall cake with nonpareils on exterior side walls with chocolate icing on top and detailed decoration of many fish to both sides and top of cake. The saying was "One fish, new fish, blue or pink fish." This is what I got...2 basic drawn fish on top of cake that didn't even look like the reference we used during the meeting (waste of my time). The saying was sloppy (all over the place) and they chose to highlight the word blue in blue icing and not the pink, which was white writing like the rest of the saying...poorly executed to say the least. The ombré was barely evident as my guests asked where is the ombré??? There were zero fish on the 1 foot plus tall sides of cake as I requested many fish! See photos attached. The cake was average but grocery store cake seems fresher and more flavorful. ALL my guests were shocked we paid $170 for this cake...they said I should never have paid that much for what we got. The guests also later revealed that they felt the cake was dry and not fresh tasting...doesn't mean it wasn't fresh but didn't taste fresh. I was so disappointed in the cake, particularly since the employee shared that The Masters Bakery just won a huge award for their cakes. For this reason alone, I was not hesitant to spend an exorbitant amount of money on the cake BUT take a look...$170 for this rushed and less than tasteful creation?!!! Sadly, I'm a loyal customer to any local business but I will not make this bakery one of them :( read more

The wedding cake I had from MB was phenomenal. It was even good a year later. However, this was in 2006. I went to a party in January and the hostess was upset with the cake she received because she said it wasn't what she ordered. It tasted ok-not great, not terrible. I went to a friend's graduation party a few weeks ago and there was another beautiful MB cake. Immediately upon cutting a slice, it crumbled. This cake was the driest cake I've ever eaten. Good flavor, but we were joking that we felt like dogs with peanut butter on the roofs of our mouths. Perhaps they have new bakers? New ownership? I don't know. It's a shame. They were the best. read more

Their cakes are addicting. I have actually moved to NYC and every year for my birthday, a friend gives me a MASTER'S BAKER cake as my premiere gift. Their butter cream icing is unparalleled. Their almond cake is mouth-watering and their white and dark chocolate "shavings" are an unbelievable addition to an otherwise perfect dessert. You have to understand, I have worked with the chefs from the FOOD NETWORK, with Jacques Torres and Sylvia Weinstock, all tremendous talents. But there is something special, memorable, and delicious about the MASTER'S BAKER'S cakes. But even more than all of that, they will go to any lengths to make you happy. And they have made me VERY HAPPY for over 20 years. read more

Where do I even begin? The Master's Baker is our family's favorite bakery for all of our event cakes!! Fabulous taste, presentation and most of all the best customer service ever!! Imagine getting married in January with 22 inches of snow falling in 6 hours and still having your snowflake cake arrive without a hitch?? That is the kind of service you receive from Master's. I can't thank you enough for one of the biggest days in my life, they put first and got our cake there without even a question. Imagine needing a cake for a party of 50 and forgetting to order it and realizing two days before the party you need to call in a quick order? Master's took care of it! Thank you for all you do for our community, and for the service and fabulous products you provide to all of us! Can't thank you and recommend you enough after over 30+ years from our family to yours---keep up the great work!! ~Joy Vining-Crozier read more
