I had been searching for a Harry Potter Cake close to the South Shore for a surprise birthday…read moreparty. No where could do the cake in the time or the price I was hoping for. I had went to a few well known bakeries and wedding cake shops, and showed them a few ideas and gave them free range as long as my theme was clearly present. All of the shops said they would make the cake, but that it would be hundred and hundreds, for just the basics, and I would have to supply the Wand, Owl, Glasses, Scarf, Etc, for my design. I could have gotten a cake from stop & Shop for 30 dollars and grabbed some accessories from Newbury Comics if that was my goal! Anyways, I placed my order with Erin 24 hours ahead of time, and she nailed the cake, as well as accommodating my last minute requests.The cake was made, perfectly, and affordable for everything being edible and sticking with the theme. It was also delicious which was the best part! I had also requested my already rushed order be done a couple hours earlier, due to traffic commuting to Haverhill from South Shore, and although traffic ran me a bit late, Erin did call to say she had finished the cake early and to come pick it up as soon as I could! Staff was friendly, and after my commute I also grabbed a cupcake for the ride home! Strawberry Banana- Yum! It was worth the price and the drive, and ended up being a huge success at the party! Thanks Again!

After a super delicious and cute tasting kit, we couldn't choose only one combo and just had to combine our favorites. We chose a marble cake with a cannoli cream and fresh strawberries filling. It. Was. Incredible! The only bad thing was when it was all gone! It was easy to communicate with Taryn and share my ideas for what I wanted and delivery of the cake was so easy even after we adjusted the times of delivery with her so close to the date. Everything was wonderful and I absolutely will be placing a future order with Flour(ish) Bakery!! Thank you Taryn and your team!!

Well the cake I got for my Mom's 89th birthday was absolutely amazing! So moist and yummy and the buttercream was perfect, not super sugary or gritty. To top it all off they knocked the design out of the park with very few details from me. I could not recommend them more!

J Cakes -- WOW! JUST WOW!…read more We absolutely loved our cake! We had a custom design in mind, and seeing it come to life was such a treat. The attention to detail was incredible. Every little touch was beautifully done, and we found ourselves admiring it from every angle. Jessie, the owner of J Cakes, was wonderful to work with. She was friendly, easygoing, and genuinely interested in getting everything just right. She even reached out to double-check the details, which we really appreciated. And knowing we had a four-hour road trip ahead of us, Jessie made sure the cake was carefully packaged for the journey. It was one of those thoughtful touches that made the whole experience even better. And the cake itself? Every bit as delicious as it was beautiful! We couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. Thank you, Jessie, for listening to our ideas, paying attention to the little things, and creating something that made us smile. You nailed it!

I ordered an 8-inch carrot cake and 12 cupcakes for a special occasion. Although beautifully…read moredecorated, the carrot cake was dry, bland, and tasted more like a spice cake. Despite specifically ordering cream cheese frosting, it appeared to have the same shortening-based frosting used on all the cupcakes. Several edible cupcake toppers had visible printing lines running through the designs. The cupcakes were boxed and wrapped in plastic, preventing me from inspecting them before taking them home. The apple cupcakes were very good, but it was embarrassing to have a guest comment on how dry the cake was. Overall, a very disappointing experience, especially at this price point.

Woohoo! As good as it gets!…read more First time getting a custom made cake for my girlfriends 25th birthday and I'm glad i found Janelle. I did my research and in term of customer service and the value, Nell's cake cannot be beat. She was very responsive over email and very accommodating with my designs\.I wanted to do a custom scrabble cake and gave Janelle the tile arrangements and asked her to have fun with it. I can't be any more pleased with the result, It looked so good and my girlfriend loved it! She went above and beyond the call of duty and paid careful attention to the details. I love the bag of scrabbles up top and the marbled tile holders that resembled closely to the actual holder. If i didn't know any better, i would say she took the tile holder straight from the game! Janelle claim to make the best Red Velvet cake! I will have to see about that when i try it tonight! I will update after i try it tonight! ------------------------------------------------------------------- Update: Tried the Red velvet cake and it tasted delicious! Had guests asking where i got the cake all night! I was so surprised when i found scrabble titles in the bags! Again, attention to detail.

Thank you to Jenny, @jennys_wedding_cakes. I happen to find this Jenny just by chance and I am so…read moreglad I did! I wanted a classic yet beautiful and delicious cake, and Jenny delivered. 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. I strongly recommend Jenny for wedding cakes and I hope I have the opportunity to order another cake from her again!

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!
