Madison Lee's Cakes

Booking Madison Lee to be our cake baker/designer was one of the best choices we made throughout the wedding process. I had seen her cakes in a couple magazines and when I decided to have my wedding in NYC, she was the first person I contacted to do a tasting. I called her studio where it was easy to set up an appointment and ask some questions about the process, pricing, etc. She then requested some images of our wedding details to get a sense of the vibe and look of my wedding. The day of the cake tasting arrived (I even brought my parents along from FL) and the entire experience was wonderful. Madison Lee and her team were so friendly and relaxed and the cake was so darn delicious! She then asked a few more design questions about our wedding and proceeded to create an entire sketch while we were sitting there. Chef Madison came up with a unique and special cake that incorporated the metallics I wanted featured in addition to making the cake a whole statement piece for my wedding just like I wanted. I was a bit nervous as I originally only pictured sugar flowers on my cake but Chef Madison told me not to worry and to come back in a few weeks. When I came back to her studio she had created a real size model of the cake just like her sketch so I could visualize exactly how it would look. I was instantly in love and knew my cake was going to be perfect. The other concern I had was delivery. I was to be married at the Central Park Boathouse and the ceremony was in the same space as the reception so there was a very short (like 45 minutes short!) window during the cocktail hour outside when the room was converted for the reception. That proved to be no issue for Chef Madison and her team and when everyone walked into the room for dinner, the cake was featured just how I requested. So many of my guests commented on how beautiful and delicious the cake was (we chose the caramel crunch flavor) and some guests even requested a second helping. Chef Madison was welcoming, accommodating, and went above and beyond at every opportunity! I can't thank her enough for making my wedding cake experience so special and...

The cake arrived 5 HOURS LATE ..... it spiraled downwards from that point .... their manager Archie had the audacity to talk back, in a very abrupt way, to the very upset groom ..... they also were freaking out because NOT A SINGLE PERSON IN THEIR TEAM KNEW HOWTO CUT A CAKE .... SERIOUSLY NOT JOKING !!!! THE PEOPLE WHO MADE IT, HAD NO IDEA HOW TO CUT IT .... lots of crying, drama and diva "artist" attitude .... Archie needs lessons in manners, time management, communication and presentation ..... the best way I can describe the experience is VULGAR. THE PRICE MAY BE LUXURY, IT...

MASSIVELY DISAPPOINTING! A totally unprofessional experience. Cake arrived over two hours late for a surprise party. Flavors were not as ordered. Price was outrageous. Decoration was amateurish with no sense of scale or proportion. And what was that tub of Crisco doing in...
