I have been in the food service industry for 21 years and have eaten ALOT of cake. Confection Perfection is still THE best bakery I have ever had. I am not a fan of pound cake, so their regular cake batter is just the perfect consistency; not too heavy, not too light. Mike (the owners) buttercream icing is to die for! Hands down, THE best buttercream I have E V E R had. He made a spectacular cake and themed it with a napkin from a client of mine. It was not only gorgeous, but tasted just a good as it looked! This is THE number one baker I recommend when my clients ask for a referral. Many clients don't want to get cake anymore because "no one eats it". My response is this.. It is not unusual for me to be cutting one of his cakes and I'll tell guests, who say they don't like cake, how amazing it is... and then they try it. It takes, literally, 3 minutes for the 'word' to spread thru the room and sure enough everyone is eating and raving over said cake. This happens ALL the time! I always recommend a cake and then some 'pickups' on the side (see below).
In addition, they have amazing gourmet (what I call) pickups, or small finger like desserts. He'll make custom flavors and/or creations and is very reasonable for the quality. There are only one or two other bakers I'd recommend, but Confection Perfection is still number uno! read more
