Triple Tier Bakery did an outstanding job making the wedding cake and cupcakes for my son and…read moredaughter-in-law's Dubuque wedding. 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.

Will NEVER order another cake from here, nor would I ever recommend them!…read more I apologize for the late review, but I just got back into reviewing. 2024 I was getting married. I wanted to support a local baker. When I sent the inspiration picture, I was told it was achievable. I don't mind a little artistic flair, but oh my..... the trees were PURPLE! The cake was in buttercream rather than fondant. All the decorations were falling off and I had to reapply them myself. When I reached out to Sara, the response was "I did buttercream to save you some money" and "I'm not a professional baker". Like WHAT!!! I paid over $400 for this shit cake. I would have been more than happy to pay whatever it would be to have my cake look halfway decent... I specifically asked the photographer NOT to photograph the cake. NEVER going back...
