I went to Patty’s Cakes in a bit of desperation for my April wedding- My fiance had asked a friend of his (who to be fair had done a few wedding cakes before) to do our cake, and she agreed…then totally flaked. She was even going out of state the day of our wedding and didn’t tell us! So with less than three weeks to go I just called up the cake place I had seen coming home from work sometimes, knowing nothing about it and fully aware that they may not be able to take us anyway. Thank God, the stars were aligned. Not only were they able to fit us in and schedule a tasting straight away, but then I was able to see all the great reviews- and they really do equal them. I was surprised at first to find out they were a fondant-free bakery (you just kind of assume that a wedding cake is going to have that fondant look) but Patty told us that while fondant may give a nice look, it doesn’t have a good taste and often leads to the cake inside becoming stale. You sacrifice taste for looks, and at Patty’s, taste is a priority. Well I had no problems with that argument, and two weeks later she delivered our stunning raspberry and custard cake to the venue, complete with real purple hydrangeas we had supplied as decoration. It had turned out even better than I thought it would, and after all of the stress leading up to it, it was so *so* nice to get such a lovely product. It really did taste amazing too, and I would certainly recommend them.
