If you are in the Boston area and need a cake, this is your place. Jessey is so kind and makes gorgeous, personalized cakes with a unique twist. My best friend is turning 21, and loves strawberry white chocolate cakes. Even though this flavor was not offered, Jessey accommodated. She was a great communicator and delivered the best product i could have imagined. Thank you. The taste. So light, not too sweet, MOIST. When do you get such a beautiful cake that tastes so good? 10/10 For Jessey, the taste, the appearance.

Pistachio cake with chocolate frosting and dark chocolate ganache

Ordered a custom flavored pistachio cake from Jessey for a birthday and was super happy. She was very responsive and accommodating to my specific requests. She even agreed to meet outside of her stated hours to get me the cake in time for our birthdays plans. It was beautiful and delicious...not too sweet but great flavor. I look forward to ordering more cakes in the future!

I wanted a cream and milk free cake (I'm okay with butter and eggs) and I emailed Jessey to talk about what kind of a cake that would work with. I also wanted a matcha flavor in there. It turned out to be a dairy free chiffon with matcha cake layers and butter frosting with some fruit on top. It was truly beautiful and even more delicious. It was made on time, even slightly earlier. Pickup was seamless. She's a sweet and beautiful person, extremely talented. The cake was gorgeous in addition to being incredibly delicious.

Customized matcha white chocolate cake

I ordered a matcha white chocolate cake for my friend's birthday and requested a birthday message/drawing of an otter on the cake because we have a tradition of gifting each other otter-related stuff. Jessey topped a beautiful cake with the cutest otter -- we both melted!!! The delivery was seamless, and Jessey also gave my friend tips on how the cake is best served. After the delivery, Jessey sent me an email about the delivery, which I really appreciated. And obviously, it tasted great!!! We heart Whiskful!!

Delicious dairy-free chocolate cake

Because of Covid, my son turned 21 on the other side of the country from his family (maybe that worked out better for him :). I wanted to send him a cake since I couldn't make one for him except that he is lactose intolerant and most desserts have dairy in them. What to do! Whiskful came to my rescue. Jessey not only made an amazing dairy free chocolate cake, but she went the extra mile by calling me and emailing me to make sure everything went smoothly. My son has only a bike so I had the cake delivered. After talking to Jessey on the phone, she encouraged me to order the cake through her web site and use the Calendly calendar to schedule a delivery. Everything worked out perfectly. We had a Zoom birthday and I was super jealous watching my son eat cake this beautiful cake and I couldn't join him. Next time I'm in Boston I will defiantly visit Wiskful.

My husband is lactose intolerant and we ordered a dairy free cake from Whiskful for my daughter's 5th birthday. Jessey was very responsive and easy to work with. She asked me what our daughter's favorite colors were and was able to incorporate it into the cake decoration. Chocolate cake was delicious, very moist and yummy! Thank you for making our family celebration special!

Ordered a cake from Whiskful for my fiancée's birthday. It was an absolutely amazing butter cream and fresh berry cake. The the owner Jessey also perfectly wrote a happy birthday message for her in another language :) We will definitely order from Whiskful again!!!

Black sesame chiffon cake with fresh fruit and whipped cream filling
Pamela W.

Jessey is just an unbelievable Baker! This is probably like our 8th black sesame cake we've order in the last 6 month. Our family demands this cake every time there's a birthday. Even though we had a mermaid ‍ theme for my 5 yr old niece bday, Jessey went ahead and create this adorable mermaid cake to tie in with the party. If you haven't tried this cake, what are you waiting for!!

Jessey was awesome to work with. She took my loose idea for the cake and turned it into a beautiful masterpiece. Her prices are affordable and she offered a quick turnaround time. I also ordered the lemon raspberry squares which were delicious!

Orange chiffon cake

I'm glad I was able to find this place near where I live during this pandemic. Not only is it beautiful, but it's even delicious!! It was pleasant to meet Jessey who was very kind and thoughtful. I think I'll be visiting here again to try out other cakes.

Soul Cake is absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!! We highly recommend Soul Cake for your elopement or wedding…read more Not only is the cake a work of art for the eyes--but the flavors and textures are expertly combined to feel as celebratory as the event. Our elopement cake was almost too beautiful to cut into, but we're glad we did. We chose the lemon raspberry buttercream, and we highly recommend this flavor, too! The lemon curd and raspberry fillings were so fresh, and the buttercream was perfect: airy, creamy, and not at all too sweet. Coordinating with Gayoung was simple, and we really appreciate how much time, care, and expertise went into making our wedding cake so beautiful. You'll be so happy with your choice--we enthusiastically recommend Soul Cake! Photo Credit: Castillo Holliday Photo + Film

We wanted a cake to celebrate my mom's 100th birthday celebration and we needed something that she could see with her limited eyesight. The cake was exquisite -- both aesthetically and gastronomically. Every guest asked where we got the cake. I wish that I had recorded the chorus of "oohs and aahs" that accompanied the introduction so that the artist/bakers at Soul Cake could have experienced it. The main cake was a delicious lemon raspberry that everyone raved about and we supplemented with a double chocolate cake, that was equally appreciated. Soul Cake delivered our cake on a holiday -- 7/4 -- which was so helpful! Thank you for what you do. Our experience was unparalleled.

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!

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.

Doris & Dixie - White Chocolate Cranberry Macademia Cookie

Doris & fuckin' Dixie... by far the best, most creative bakery in Boston!…read more Let me start with the history of Doris & Dixie.... (it's too cute to skip)... It's a southern bakery run by Rick Ryan, who started the company as an homage to his grandmothers who baked for him back in Oklahoma. He started the small business to keep the memories of his grandmothers' desserts alive; they were the ones, after all, that inspired him to enter the world of culinary arts. And thank fucking god they did... Because one time, I was at a party in Cambridge and won a raffle for twenty dollars at Doris & Dixie. Not knowing anything about the company, I emailed Rick to place an order, asking for a dozen cake balls and a dozen cookies. Seriously, what's better than sweet little balls of gourmet, unique cakes?? Low and behold, the man DRIVES TO MY APARTMENT to deliver the order (he's amazing...) presenting two dozen home-made cake balls and 14 cookies! Yum. Not only was the packaging adorable (he put the cake balls in an egg container, labeled with paper that says, "Here's your pickin's...") but each dessert blew my fucking mind. Rick made cake balls of Chipotle Chocolate, Chocolate Clove Rum, Strawberry Lemon Basil, Hibiscus, Red Velvet, Pomegranate, Bourbon, Carrot, Chocolate Mint, Lavender, Chocolate Basil, and Humingbird------ALL by hand and all from scratch. He made amazing cookies too: Chipotle, Mojito, Pecan, Gingerbread, Hazelnet, Blackberry, Basil.... Now THAT is some fuckin' Southern hospitality. If you're in Boston and hungry for original, incredible pastries- go no where else for dessert. Skip the gross chains (seriously, though, Finale's dessert tastes like overpriced garbage slopped on a cookie sheet) and check out Doris & Dixie. Nowhere else in town bakes pastries with so much heart and soul.

I cannot rave enough about Doris & Dixie! The cake balls will blow your mind. I got some from a…read morefriend when the company first started and shared them at work. We were amazed at the flavor combinations and the adorable packaging! Rick Ryan's customer service cannot be beat! My co-workers were so enamored that these tasty treats were not only the "secret Santa" gift of choice, but were also sent out to more than one set of in-laws. Go ahead and indulge your inner trailer trash-gourmet! Follow the Dr. Pepper cake ball with a Chocolate Chipotle!
