Pursuit of Pastry — Restaurant in Old Saybrook

We hired Pursuit of Pastry as one of the dessert caterers for our wedding on Friday, May 17th, 2024. Having previously lived in Old Saybrook, we frequently visited Pursuit of Pastry, so we were especially delighted to hire them to create our wedding cakes. The pricing was quite reasonable, and we enjoyed the wide array of options available to us. Prior to ordering, we enjoyed a tasting on-site and reviewed photo examples of their work.

The exterior of the tiered wedding cake was covered with vanilla buttercream icing with an ombre royal blue to white and paint deco gold. We supplied two glass Beauty and the Beast themed toppers.

I was able to get the cake decorated, handed back to me and presented to our table before appetizers were served!

The atmosphere was so genuinely celebratory that I felt as if they should’ve been coming back with me to enjoy our...

Beautiful space with amazing top notch customer service. The bakery was spotless with a cute array of beautiful baked goods. Definitely warm and inviting space. I stopped in on a whim passing by for the first time.

I enjoyed my baguette I bought - I do wish there was a note( or if I missed the note something on the packaging itself) that the whole baguette was topped with quite a lot of salt flakes. I just brushed it off and it was a very...
