I've never ordered a cake from an actual bakery. This was the first time I've ever purchased a cake from anyone other than walmart or hyvee.
My sons 7th birthday was coming up, we couldn't do a big party because of social distancing so we figured "heck, let's just splurge on us instead of budgeting for 20+ people"
My sons dad was supposed to order the cake weeks ago, but forgot until 2 days before the birthday. Amazingly, butterfly bakery said they could get it done and was very kind and professional on the phone.
When I saw the cake I was absolutely blown away. It looked exactly like the picture (we ordered the 6" dinosaur cake). I was a little taken back by how small the cake was based on the $45 price (again, I'm used to ordering walmart cakes) but boy, it was a heavy cake!
When we cut it open, it was a beautiful funfetti cake and tasted fantastic. It was also alot more cake than it looked like - a very thin slice filled everyone up.
Everything about the cake was wonderful and we'll have leftover cake for several days.
Very professional and polite staff. I'll definitely be ordering from there...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI was terribly disappointed when I got a tiramisu cake from Butterfly Bakery recently. I had one years ago from there during the previous owner's time there. My friend who I bought the cake for as a birthday present is a tiramisu afficianado and he was the one who bought the cake there years ago for me on my birthday. So when I ordered the cake, I knew it was under different ownership and I specifically asked if the same recipe was used and the woman assured me it was. The cake was pretty awful. It was not a traditional tiramisu by far. It had the lady fingers and that is about it. There was no trace of marscapone, espresso, or liquor. In addition, it had thick, commercial frosting on the top and inside. I was very disappointed and while my friend was a good sport about it, I'm sure he threw the rest away after I left. I could have gotten a much better regular cake across the street at Russ's. The staff was friendly and the cake was done on time but those were the only assets. Please tell people honestly what they are going to get because it can ruin an...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreLinda at Butterfly Bakery was awesome! My husband-to-be and I walked in to her shop with a very rough idea of what we wanted for our wedding desserts. We described the vintage theme and barn location of our fall wedding and she was quick to suggest a simple three tier cake with a vertical fondant barn siding look. It was beautiful!! Simple, elegant, and perfect for our wedding. (AND three amazing flavors!! chocolate with chocolate ganache, vanilla with raspberry, and pumpkin with cream cheese) Being more of a pie girl myself, we compromised and did both! :) Linda was more than amazing with the pies. I wanted the 'look' as well as the flavor and she agreed to bake the pies in vintage pie plates we provided. Talk about over the top! She delivered 12 pies in three flavors - pumpkin, apple, and cranberry pear. Our guests went crazy over them! I didn't even get to try the pumpkin...so that's probably a good sign. Book Linda for your wedding, she will not disappoint. For our 150 guests, we had a plethora of incredible desserts delivered on time and at a...
