We recently had Cakes by Maureen do the cookies for my daughters bridal shower. Her cookies were…read moreabsolutely beautiful! Maureen is beyond talented! We chose to do a wedding dress cookie, a starfish cookie and a cookie with flowers and the date. The wedding dress cookie had beautiful details that were so subtle you could miss them if you weren't holding them in your hand and admiring them! The starfish was detailed in beading that was just beautiful, and the cookie with the flowers (hydrangea like) was just perfect! IWe heard a number of times that the cookies were a 10 out of 10 for taste as well as design. So thank you, Maureen! You helped make a beautiful day that much more beautiful! I cant wait for another event to order again! Jeanne Flaherty Meg Flaherty Keira Flaherty

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.

The cake truly exceeded our expectations and brought the happy couple's vision to life. I HIGHLY recommend this amazing bakery. I would use them again and again!

When it comes to a wedding cake, Dessert Works in Westwood is truly the go-to place. Their team has…read moreperfected a system to help couples design their ideal wedding cake, and the experience could not have been smoother. The process begins about three months in advance with a consultation, where you sit down with their talented designers to bring your vision to life. From that meeting, you're presented with several different flavors to sample. Pro Tip: have a few helpers ready at home when you receive the samples--you get more than enough for two people! For our wedding, we chose a Boston Cream Pie and strawberry combination, and it was absolutely delightful. Not only was the flavor incredible, but the design perfectly matched our cultural theme. The decorations were placed with precision, and it was clear that the team took the time to understand exactly what we wanted. One highlight was the "topper piece", which is cream-based and made for a perfect treat the day after our wedding. While many couples save their cake for their one-year anniversary, ours was simply too good to wait. By the third day after our wedding, the cake was gone--leaving us only with the tasteful memory of how special it was. If you are working with The Lenox Hotel, you'll benefit from their partnership with Dessert Works. And if you're not tied to a specific venue, but have the option to choose your own cake vendor, I can't recommend Dessert Works enough. They will make your wedding day both delightful and delicious!

Truly Magical! Worth Every Penny! As a first-time customer…read moreof Not Just Cake, I initially questioned whether the endless stream of flawless 5-star reviews could truly be justified. I had never tasted one of Simren's cakes before, nor did I know anyone personally who had ordered from her, so the decision felt like serious leap of faith. The price point also gave me pause, especially since it is easily twice that of established local bakeries like Konditor Meister, Yum Bunnies, Donnas, Flour, or Icing on the Cake, etc. However, after speaking with Simren, it became immediately evident that her work exists on an entirely different level. Her passion, artistry, and meticulous attention to detail are truly extraordinary. I ordered a Harry Potter themed cake for my child's 8th birthday, and I was absolutely astonished. The cake was nothing short of a masterpiece. The golden snitch, Harry's glasses, the sorting hat, and an unbelievable edible fondant book with the number 8 on top looked cinematic in their precision. The photographs do not even begin to capture how breathtaking it was in person. And then there was the taste. We chose vanilla cake, triple berry mascarpone, raspberry preserve infused with saffron, cardamon, and rose... it was unquestionably the finest cake we have ever tasted. Made with the cleanest, freshest, highest-quality ingredients and just the right touch of sweetness, it felt both indulgent and perfectly balanced. Every guest devoured it and wanted to know where it came from. After 40 years of trying bakeries throughout Massachusetts, I can say with complete confidence that this is in a league of its own. Simren is not simply a baker. She is a true artist. Not Just Cake transformed our celebration into something unforgettable. It is an absolute must-buy!

It is important to me to support local businesses and work with a fellow Latino for as many of my vendors as possible, so I was disappointed when this was the result with Noel. It was also awkward. One of the first emails asked him on a Monday if it would be possible to do a tasting that weekend, or what tasting schedules are / how he does them.
