Wendi was so sweet and enthusiastic from my first contact with her, which really went a long way to making the process a joy. She created a gorgeous and delicious gluten free lemon cake with raspberry filling. The decoration was beautiful and celebratory for my mom's 80th birthday. I picked up on a Friday and the party was Saturday. As we were about to serve the cake, a guest with a nut allergy wondered if any nut flours had been used. I texted Wendi and she responded immediately. Our guest was able to enjoy the cake with everyone else. All in all, a great experience that added a lot to a very special occasion.

Wendi at Butterbugs Baked Goods made our wedding cake dreams come true! She truly outdid herself! What a joy to work with her! The cake was absolutely incredible- from looks, to design, to taste! The taste was delicious (wedding cake flavor), the cake was moist, and the icing and raspberry filling were AMAZING! I would 1000/10 recommend her! You will not be disappointed! Just do it! Oh, and let’s not forget her incredible cookies we had for favors! They were a huge hit! We did chocolate chip and oatmeal ! I had a family member ask where the oatmeal cookies were from because “it was one of the BEST oatmeal cookies he’d ever had.”! Thank you so much Wendi!

Wendi was great! She made us a specialty cake which tasted and looked phenomenal. Communication was excellent and the cake was ready exactly when she said it would be. Extremely happy with her services!

I recently had my first Butterbug's cake at the advice of some online recommendations, and it was a great experience! I went with a yellow cake with dark chocolate icing, noted on the menu as the owner's favorite combination, and I was not disappointed. The cake texture was as good as it gets - it was some how substantial and light at the same time. And the dark chocolate icing had a wonderful flavor and was not overly sweet. Finally, Wendy is incredibly helpful, nice, and professional. Butterbug's is the whole package, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable source for a great cake.

If you are in the market for Coconut Cake Extraordinaire, Butterbug's Bakery is your North Star. My husband is a fiend for Coconut Cake stemming from a childhood memory of his Mom's cake! Seeking this experience again, he has made several different recipes himself as he bakes. Further, he has ordered a slice of this cake and has been disappointed in the product nearly every single place we go. Having relished this cake supremely at Nine Mile- I knew his passion for Wendi's cake. I am a baker too having owned and operated a Montford Bed and Breakfast for 20 years. Recognition of a supreme product is my strong suit. Look no further. Wendi's Coconut Cake is not only aesthetically exceptional; it is a culinary masterpiece. As an added bonus, Wendi is a delight and vested in your happiness with her product. Trust me, you will be happy.

Absolutely unreal! Got the yellow cake w chocolate frosting for a birthday party and I can’t even begin to tell you how much of a hit it was!! Everyone said it was the best cake they’ve ever had, I agree!! The most scrumptious genache-y rich chocolate and perfectly moist cake.The owners let me pick it up on NYE, a day they’re normally not open, and I just really appreciate them going above and beyond.

Wendi hit all the marks for me! Cake was amazing, and the customer service was even better. I reached out to her very last minute, and communication with her was such a breeze. My family was traveling to the area to celebrate my mom turning 70 and I wanted her to have her favorite cake on her birthday. Wendi knocked it out of the park with this delicious German Chocolate cake! I would recommend her to anyone and if I’m ever in the Asheville area again, I’ll order one “just because”! Thank you so much!!

Just, wow! We ordered a small gluten free dairy free cake for our wedding and it was as the best cake I’ve ever had! Even non-allergy people were impressed. Wendi was also the sweetest and was so easy to work with. We can’t wait to order more from Butterbug!Dietary restrictions: We did gluten free, dairy free and Wendi was happy to accommodate with tons of options.

Some of the best cakes I've had in my life! My wife orders Butterbug's coconut cream layer cake as a yearly birthday ritual. It is absolutely fantastic.
One of the best cakes we have ever eaten! Thank you! This was my husband's birthday cake. Devil's food cake with a dark chocolate ganache frosting with chocolate buttercream in between the layers. Divine! ❤️

We've worked with Wendi for a few weddings and her cakes are always beautiful and delicious! We throw a hard cake at her- vegan and sugar free and she nailed it! We definitely recommend!
Leslie Aldridge
The cake was delicious and beautiful! Wendi took all of our requests and turned them into a really special cake for my dad's 82nd birthday!

Wendy has a gift! When you talk to her you can tell she loves baking and you can actually taste that love in her food. There's a reason she has 5 stars here and if you haven't tried her food you should add it to your bucket list!!!

I ordered a 6” chocolate heart cake with light purple vanilla frosting and Wendi did not disappoint! Not only was she extremely sweet and great with communication, but she made me a lovely birthday cake that was everything I wanted. I highly recommend the edible glitter topping. (When I blew out my candles little sparkles flew around in the air!) This cake was truly magical and delicious! Thanks to Butterbugs and Wendi!
