In case you haven't read them, I'll catch you up on most of my other reviews by saying I am borderline obsessed with cake, and especially wedding cake. So when planning my wedding for June of this year, cake- delicious cake, to be more specific- was a definite priority. By the time I discovered The Sleepy Baker was in business, I had already ordered and paid for my wedding cake with another bakery. But when I saw some of The Sleepy Baker's beautiful cakes on her Facebook page, I was convinced that we needed a cake for the rehearsal dinner too! I'm so happy my fiance agreed : ) TLiz (the Sleepy Baker herself) did a fantastic job with our cake! Here are some highlights: -The design: to say that Liz is super creative is an understatement. I gave her a copy of our invitation, a few pictures of myself and my fiance, and told her all I knew I wanted was a marzipan version of us as a cake topper. In other words, I gave her almost no specific guidelines or inspirations, and she managed to make a ridiculously cute cake that nobody could stop talking about. (I'll post a picture stat!) -The taste: ABSOLUTELY the most important aspect of the cake, and I gave her no specific flavor guidelines outside of being different from our 3 wedding cake flavors. She recommended her "drunken" Champagne cake, and it was unbelievably good. So moist, so dense, and not sickeningly sweet. Perfect for our occasion! -The price: I essentially told Liz what he had left of our wedding budget that could be allocated toward cake, and she made it work. I can't guarantee a price because we never set a 'per slice' amount, but ours was less than $3 per slice. And that is practically unheard of for occasion cakes. I did have to send someone to pick up the cake, and since she's currently baking out of her home, I'm not sure if/how tastings go. But if you need an occasion cake, you've definitely got to contact The Sleepy Baker : ) read more

Liz is truly talented! She just made a wonderful two tier cake for me for my birthday. It was not just a beautiful cake but delicious too!! I will be using The sleepy Baker again! read more

June 26, 2013 Liz Berman made the most incredible Elvis Presley Cake for my husband's 70th birthday. She is so creative and talented, and the Elvis she made looked very very real! The only complaint we had was that the cake was so incredibly delicious that the beautiful FABULOUS cake was gone in half an hour! Liz made the night so special. She really is one of the Best Bakers of Boston. We can't wait to have more birthday cakes! Cheryl W read more

The Sleepy Baker recently created a phenomenal cake for my son's 4th birthday party. It was a music party and he loves guitars - Liz designed an amazing acoustic guitar cake to satisfy 20, 4 year olds :). The cake was AWESOME!!! My son loved it and it tasted delicious. You can see a photo of his cake here: http://www.facebook.com/SleepyBaker/photos#!/photo.php?fbid=342634832475039&set=a.129315717140286.25588.129211947150663&type=3&theater I plan to order a cake from Sleepy Baker for my other son's bday in September. We have been combing through the photos on her Facebook page and I think he wants a football / Patriots cake. read more

My daughter requested an "Angry Birds" cake for her 6th birthday and The Sleepy Baker delivered!! (see pics posted as well). The kids loved it, the parents loved it and I loved the ease of doing business with Liz. From having to call off the cake-baking due to a pending blizzard at the last minute, to the cake design, Liz was a delight to work with! read more

The Sleepy Baker made a cake for my cat's birthday party! Obviously, having a birthday party for a cat is a ridiculous and silly event, but even if Liz thought I was completely out of my mind, she never showed it. She was very enthusiastic about making our cake and was INCREDIBLY helpful with the design. She was very careful to take into consideration my thoughts and preferences while setting boundaries (based on MY preference) for how much creative license she would use. For this cake, there were only a few things that mattered to me including the main part of the design (cat sitting in a laundry basket - Liz's GREAT idea!) but the wording, colors, etc. didn't matter to me. She asked a lot of great questions before going to work on the cake so I knew exactly what I was getting and which pieces (ex. color) I would be surprised by. I picked up the cake a few days before the party and was very impressed by how it was packaged up and ready for me. The cake did not fit in a normal sized cake box because part of the frosting design extended upwards, but she finagled the box and included plastic wrap so that I could drive home easily without worrying the cake would get ruined. Thanks to the awesome packaging - cake made it home without an ounce of frosting touching the side of the box!!! And of course - the cake was absolutely adorable!!!!!!!!!!! One last comment - TASTE! I picked up my Sleepy Baker cake Friday for a party on Sunday. Per Liz's instructions, I took the cake out at least an hour before the party to let the buttercream get to room temp. and the cake was DELICIOUS!! I even had a slice and enjoyed it and I don't even like cake all that much. All my guests were licking their plates like a bunch of fools because it was SO GOOD! Definitely use the Sleepy Baker for your cake needs - especially if you need something creative and unique. She'll come up with a great design and is so easy to work with. We did our entire order, including all the questions and design discussion, through facebook chat! Doesn't get any easier than that!! read more

Liz did an AMAZING job for my husband's 50th birthday cake. It was a Star Wars-themed event and she captured a specific scene from one of the movies for the cake. It not only looked great, it tasted fantastic!!! Very moist, somewhat dense and sooo yummy. (Had it for breakfast the next morning). Thanks Liz! You were a pleasure to work with! read more

We got 3 cakes of which 2 were egg free within the same month ( birthday month at home).Usually eggless cakes that I have had in the past have not been very moist but that was not the case with Liz's. Also, there are so many options and flavors. Each one was beautiful, creative with all the themes that I asked and of course tasted delicious.Communication was easy and prices were fair. Highly highly recommend Liz and her work read more

My sister surprised me this weekend with a dozen gluten free chocolate cupcakes! I drove out to Natick from Upstate NY to celebrate my and my nephew's birthday and was not expecting to partake in any birthday pastries. The cupcakes were INCREDIBLE! They weren't crumbly like most gf breads and cookies. They were so rich and moist!! Thank you so much for taking such care when you bake for allergies! read more

I live in Los Angeles and wanted to get a cake for a friend's 50th birthday, who would be celebrating it in Framingham. Liz was great to work with--we spoke on the phone, I placed an order, and she delivered the cake on my friend's bday. She made it happen and on short notice too. I heard that the chocolate cake was delicious. read more

Liz is awesome. Found her website after a local bakery cancelled our order. All the raving reviews are true! She created special cupcakes for my daughter's 3rd birthday party with less than a week's notice. They were a HUGE hit and tasted great! Will definitely be back for all our future celebrations! read more

I met Liz through a friend of mine and I asked her to make my birthday cake for my 29th birthday a few years ago. I don't know a lot about baking or flavors, so I'm sure I was not an easy client! She had lots of ideas and questions and sometimes it was easier for me to say "no, I don't think I'd like that" than to say "this is exactly what I want." Despite being unable to decide, Liz was undeterred. She was eventually able to come up with a vision for my cake and showed up with a beautifully created Jem and the Hollagrams cake. I have no idea what flavor it was (again, bad with stuff like that!), but it was delicious! read more

I wanted to do something special for my nephew's 2nd birthday. He loves penguins and, knowing the Sleepy Baker, I asked if she could create a penguin birthday cake. Well boy did she deliver! The cake was incredible! Not only was in delicious, but she actually made it with a 3D penguin complete with an igloo and mini birthday cake with two candles in it - the details were insane! We couldn't have been happier with the way it turned out! Everyone at the birthday party could not stop taking pictures of it, and the birthday boy himself loved it! He wanted to keep the penguin for himself! Thank you again to the Sleepy Baker!! read more

Liz did a great job making a creative baby shower GLUTEN FREE DELICIOUS cake for a friend of mine! It was exactly what I wanted and everyone couldn't stop talking about how great it was!

I would recommend her to anyone who needs any baking done for any occasion!!! read more

I have been in search for the perfect cake for years and have finally found it at The Sleepy Baker! I have tried all the well-known bakeries in Brookline, Boston and the Metrowest area, but nothing compares to The Sleepy Baker. The quality, creativity and customer service is impeccable! Liz Berman, owner of The Sleepy Baker, worked with my picky daughter to create her dream birthday cake which she loved. I also had Liz create a cake of her choice for my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary. The cake was delicious, elegant and the talk of the night. I admit, I couldn't wait to eat the leftover cake for breakfast! And I did, along with my husband and kids! Best breakfast ever! read more

I stumbled across this bakery by reading Yelp and it turned into a wonderful, positive, delicious experience. When I first made contact with Liz, the owner, I was not sure what I wanted but I knew I wanted a unique cake for my daughter's graduation. After a pleasant discussion we decided that it would be a cake that looked like a Reeses cup and flavored the same way! (My daughter's favorite treat on earth!) Liz sent me some ideas and I choose one that I loved. We set up a delivery date and time and I felt confident that she would get the job done and she did! The cake arrived on time and looked perfect - Reeses would have been proud, my daugher was thrilled and the guests took pictures to send to all their friends. Then we got to eat it - another Wow moment. The peanut butter filling was fantastic, light, creamy and rich. The chocolate cake was moist, chocolatey and delicious. It is rare that you you can be totally happy with any product but this was the exception. From inception through the last bite - this was awesome. I can say that this experience "takes the cake". The owner was a joy to deal with and reasonably priced. I will be a repeat customer. read more

Liz helped make my mother-in-law's 80th birthday party a huge success! We went with an Irish theme and went back and forth a couple of times. Liz wanted to make sure she got it right and thought to ask all of the right questions. Turns out the cake was not only beautiful, but delicious! I will be using The Sleepy Baker again! read more
