Victoria did a phenomenal job! My wedding cake was perfect! All of my guests talked about how tasty the cake was. Overall I couldn’t have been happier with the service.

Victoria did an amazing job with our wedding cake. It was delicious and so so beautiful! We are so happy we went with the quintessential cake & would recommend her to all our friends!!

My wedding cake was everything I imagined and tasted incredible. The process of the tasting was super fun and the online planning portal made it super easy request certain details. Would definitely recommend for any special occasion!

Can’t recommend avoiding this business more. Victoria was completely non-responsive to my fiancée except for charging us for the deposit for the appointment.When we had gone to another bakery and did a tasting that we liked, we decided that we would rather go with the company that was responsive. So we canceled our appointment on July 1st, and despite sending that 26 days before our appointment was scheduled for, we got no response. When my fiancée got no response she sent several follow ups attempting via email and her website, for any confirmation, or policy on refunds.When the date of our appointment came and went with zero contact, we filed a dispute with our credit card. She still never contacted us and disputed back.Had we known we wouldn’t get our money back, we would have just continued with the tasting, however Victoria completely ghosted us. And if that’s how tasting appointments are handled, I’m glad we didn’t pick her to do our wedding cake.

Working with Victoria was an amazing experience. She captured the vision we had for our wedding flawlessly! Everything from the look, and taste of the cake was outstanding. We 1000% recommend The Quintessential Cake!

Working with Victoria at The Quintessential Cake for my 10/29/2022 wedding was a great experience from start to finish! My husband and I first met with Victoria for a consultation and tasting to discuss our needs and our vision for the cake design, as well as sample her cake and filling options. Everything was so delicious, we had difficulty choosing our favorites! Once we had settled on the design and the cake/filling itself, the process was a breeze—Victoria is an excellent communicator and followed up with us for any necessary information as we got closer to the wedding day. On the day-of, Victoria arrived promptly with the cake and set it up beautifully with our topper. Everyone loved our cake and wished they could eat even more! Overall, I would highly recommend working with The Quintessential Cake for your wedding or special event.

I cannot recommend Victoria and The Quintessential Cake enough! Our wedding cake looked perfect, exactly what I envisioned, and tasted absolutely delicious. Our guests were equally impressed as we received so many complements about how perfect the cake looked and that it was "the most delicious cake I've ever had". Victoria was wonderful to work with, transparent with pricing, and had an online portal that made contracts, payment plans, and communication about delivery easy. While her cakes obviously are worth it all on their own, the behind the scenes are equally a sell for me. After planning my own wedding and following up with various vendors constantly, Victoria was easy to communicate with and had everything all in one place. Would highly recommend!

Victoria was such a pleasure to work with. I could not decide on my design for such a long time, she really helped us to narrow down what we wanted and we ended up with a stunning cake! She also had amazing flavors to choose from and puree's that we included with our buttercream filling between the layers. I am a wedding planner myself and I highly recommend Quintessential Cake.

I would recommend Veronica, and The Quintessential Cake to anyone who is in need of a cake. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, and is so talented! Our cake was absolutely perfect; I’m still obsessed!!Her communication months prior made everything so much easier, and she provides you with such a great experience through wedding planning.

Victoria was a pleasure to work with! Our guests were raving over how wonderful our cake was and begged to take some home! We originally tried some other bakeries in the area, but they are nothing like her cakes!! Even the tasting was just amazing and so organized. We highly recommend her for your wedding cake!

I got married this year, and Victoria created a lovely cake (See picture) for our wedding. We were so pleased with it, and how it really was the center piece of the reception. We met with Victoria early last year, and discussed our vision. She was able to draw up a sketch for how it would look like. The tasting was beyond what we expected. We were impressed with all our options, and how it was all put together for us to try in her lovely studio. I didn't have a worry on my wedding day, and saw our wedding cake for the first time. Victoria was also able to place flowers from our florist on our wedding cake as requested. Make an inquiry for your dream wedding cake!

I loved their almond flavoring. And Victoria is so kind!
