Cake Fiction was the one vendor we used from a recommendations list our venue gave to us. I am SO glad we did. Their barn itself is also super cute, just going up for the cake tasting session was magical in itself. Picking just 3 flavors to sample from their list of cake combinations was so hard, which was a good thing! You are allowed to have a different flavor for each layer of cake at no additional cost, so we had fun with those.
We picked the olive oil cake with passion fruit cream, the walnut almond pound cake with raspberry mousse, and the lemon cake with orange flower blossom cream. Well, my husband talks about that passion fruit cream more than any other part of our wedding (I try not to be too upset about that), it was that amazing! My favorite flavor was the raspberry mousse, and I keep hearing a ton of compliments on that flavor in particular from our guests. The only critique I would give to Cake Fiction is that they didn't give the venue a list of the flavors so nobody knew what each layer was and my husband and I had picked the flavors months before and couldn't remember either.
I also appreciate how up-front Cake Fiction was with their pricing, which is listed online on their website to give you an idea of an estimate for your cake. We ended up going with a naked cake with just buttercream frosting on the outside which saved us a bit of money, and it looked so beautiful after our florist put a couple of flowers on it for us and it really fit in well with the theme of our barn venue. I made my own cake toppers out of clay and they were a little heavy so I was worried about them on top possibly sinking into the cake, but the cake was sturdy and the topper sat up there proudly!
And finally, Paula is also the sweetest lady ever and you can tell she really has a passion for her work. It's lovely that we have such a great wedding cake baker in New Jersey. Now if only they would open a tiny bakery so that we can get two cupcakes with our flavors next year for our...
Read moreUntil we found Paula at Cake Fiction, the process of finding a cake for our wedding in Glen Gardner was ridiculous. Either they had no imagination or they were absurd in terms of pricing for the cake and delivery. Then we found our way to Paula who completely changed the game. I think I even gave her a deposit before we settled on what cake we wanted from her, but the sheer idea that we could pick ANY flavor combinations we wanted was enough to convince us she was the right person for the job.
We settled on one tier lemoncello flavored cake and frosting, and the other tier was chocolate with peanut butter cream. Incredibly moist and fluffy, I was super excited. I had even tasked Paula with finding a way to make lemon fondant toppers dressed as a bride and groom. The cake came out flawless! And Paula was a dream to work with! Would recommend her any day of the week,...
Read moreMy husband & I got our wedding cupcakes from Cake Fiction. We had taste tested a few others, but found that Cake Fiction's were the most fluffy & best tasting. During our tasting, Paula was very knowledgeable in talking with us about the design of the cupcakes. We did not want to go a fondant route & Paula worked with us while deciding on which icing would be best for the decorations we wanted.
The few weeks leading up to our wedding, Paula was super easy to get a hold of to answer my questions. Also, we were able to easily adjust the quantity we wanted up to a week before our event date.
All in all, I highly recommend Cake Fiction to anyone in search of great quality from a taste as well as visual...
