She provided excellent guidance in making decisions on the choices. We provided a photo of what we were looking for and the results surpassed our expectations. Tiffany set up the cake and cupcakes in such a beautiful manner, with special touches. Three key points in working with Triple Tier: 1. Through our interactions, her questions, and how accommodating Tiffany was, the care and attention she provided made it clear she really wanted to do her part to make sure the event was wonderful. We live three hours away and were able to take care of all the details through phone/email/text. 2. As stated the end product was beautiful and exceeded expectations. We ordered vanilla, chocolate, and carrot cake cupcakes. There was a light dusting of cinnamon on the carrot cake frosting making it easy to tell them apart. The attention to detail was wonderful. 3. The actual taste of the cake and cupcakes was amazing. The flavor of each was distinct and delicious. The frosting was perfect, not too sweet. I have no idea how she did it, but the bride and groom wanted a marble cake and it was marbled. It looked like marble, not like traditional bakery marble cake. After tasting the cake, they both remarked "Ok that is a really good cake!" I highly recommend Triple Tier - We have a favorite bakery where we live and the Triple Tier cake and cupcakes surpassed the deliciousness of our local expert.

I prefer a smaller store so as not to be overwhelmed with too many choices, and saving on the gas to travel to a near-by Walmart to save more, does not necessarily save more.

They actually taste like they've been there for two days so not even daily donuts, but two donuts. I don't like Dunkin' Donuts at all and I think I might have to go. Try a donut there to compare because they've got to be better than these. This used to be the best donut shop around. I don't know what happened. It's heartbreaking. I do have to say they always greet you with a warm, friendly smile the rooster crows when the door opens and that always warms my heart but the donuts are just no good anymore

When my nephew decided to get married he and his fiance were ready. They knew it was the right…read morething to do, so why wait? In planning the wedding in a short seven weeks and in an effort to limit expenses he and his bride chose to forego a wedding cake. Having planned my own wedding I knew how important a cake was and didn't want them to have any regrets. So the uncles decided we were going to surprise them with a cake. The thing is, we learned this little detail just two weeks before the wedding. I live in Los Angeles. The wedding was in Monticello, Wisconsin which presents some logistical issues on top of having just under two weeks to make a cake happen. After a quick Google search I found Sweet Street Bakery. Enter Julie Winkelman. I placed a call to Julie and explained the situation. She was excited to help us with the surprise wedding cake, despite the short notice. During our conversation I told Julie how I would like the cake to look and chose a traditional wedding cake for the top tier, lemon cake with raspberry filling for the middle tier and cappuccino fudge chocolate for the bottom tier. This was all to be covered with a beautiful white butter cream icing with piped scroll details to be slightly different on each tier with the a monogrammed letter L on the middle tier. Mind you, this was all done over the telephone without benefit photos, only the picture I had in my head. Julie and the staff knocked this out of the park. The cake exceeded all expectations, both in looks and in taste. It was just what I pictured in my head and everyone tier was moist and delicious. But most importantly, the bride and groom were truly surprised and overjoyed. The cake was the final detail to make their special day perfect. And as an added benefit, Julie told them to call her a couple weeks before their first anniversary and she would bake them a small cake to celebrate. Saying thank you doesn't express how much we all appreciate what Julie and her bakers did for our nephew and his bride on their wedding day. I highly recommend Sweet Street. (I am posting a photo of the cake. I provided the cake topper so if it seems large for the cake, that's on me.)
