This cake was absolutely delicious. We went with two flavors. We had white cake with praline filling and chocolate cake with raspberry filling. We received many compliments on both flavors. It was a little unclear on the delivery time of the cake, but overall it was a great experience. The tasting was very simple and they were helpful in designing our beautiful cake. I do have to admit that the cakes are a little expensive, but it looked exactly how we expected and tasted amazing. The communication was pretty easy as well. Buttercream is very well known and I am happy to contribute to their excellent reputation.

My husband and I did not have our hearts set on a wedding cake. We wanted some type of dessert, but didn't know exactly what we wanted. When we had our tasting at the reception venue, there was a wedding cake made by Buttercream. It not only looked amazing, but it was delicious! We made an appointment with Greg at Buttercream on a weeknight to try different cakes. Based on our our wants and needs, we decided to do mini dessert parfaits. If you've never seen them, picture a piece of cake in a cup that looks fantastic and tastes even better than it looks! Our guests LOVED them. We put them on a cupcake tree so they look super cute on display...and guests can serve themselves. It's awesome because it allows everyone to mingle as they taste a delicious dessert by Buttercream. I highly recommend Buttercream for any dessert you may need - whether it be weddings, holidays, birthdays or you just want a delicous treat for your family. :=)

Our wedding cake was primarily handled by our Reception location. We did do our tasting and made final arrangements with them. Cake was good and well recieved but I don't know if it had enough bang for it's buck.

We live in Minnesota and were married in NH. Originally we had a NH baker that was going to make our cake, but then circumstances changed and we needed to find another. We wanted to be able to taste our cake before the wedding and so we went to Buttercream, one of the only places willing to meet with us on a Sunday. We met with the owner and sampled amazing cakes. There were only 2 that we didn't like - one was too rich for my palate and the other - well, we just don't like coconut. There were so many options though - which was great.
Once we settled on the flavors we wanted - s'mores and vanilla/strawberry/lemon - we broke the news that we'd need the cake in NH. I don't even think he blinked. He explained how he would recommend packing it and included it in the quote. Our cake fed 125 people and traveled to NH successfully - all for under $600! Everyone raved about the taste and I can't wait for our 1 year to get our cake top!
Highly recommend them!

Many thanks to Buttercream for such amazing service, they were incredibly easy and nice to work with. Very impressed with the variety of flavors at our cake tasting. We decided to have centerpiece cakes at each table and loved that we could offer our guests so many different flavors to choose from...they were all so delicious! These cakes are seriously the best cakes we've ever had. Our guests are still raving about their incredible flavor. Loved that they don't use fondant, loved that they don't freeze their cakes, loved that they don't use artificial coloring...loved everything! HIGHLY recommend scheduling a tasting, you will be amazed.

Compared to other bakeries, I got a very reasonable price for my wedding cake and I thought it looked great. The guests raved about the flavors: Strawberry a la Ritz, which was really light, fluffy and refreshing, and Chocolate Lovers, which is a really rich torte like cake.

We used Buttercream for our wedding in July of 2011. The cake is VERY expensive (we paid $1,400 for 250 guests), but the tasting was so great we thought it would be worth it. On the day of our wedding, I was very disappointed with the look of our cake. It looked terrible. The flowers were not the color we had discussed, and they used some sort of liquid to tack our ribbon onto the cake, that made some of the ribbon transparent. I was embarrassed that it was OUR wedding cake! I didn't even want our guests to see it.
I will give them credit for the taste of the cake. It was definitely the best wedding cake that I've tasted.
The customer service is very poor as well. I asked to have a breakdown of the cost of our cake e-mailed to me and the lady said she wouldn't know the first thing to do, to e-mail it to me! Then she said she would send it to me in the mail, I never received a breakdown! How do you run a business without knowing how to e-mail or even having a spreadsheet ready for clients!?!

By far the best tasting cake! We put together our layered ribbon, but it was not placed properly (it was upside down). The sugar flowers were also not the color I was expecting. I would use them again, but would be much more firm about my selections.

Buttercream was fun and has beautiful and delicious cakes! We throughly enjoyed our cake tasting. I love that we were able to choose different flavors for different layers allowing both my groom and I to choose our favorites. The artist who drew our thoughts for our cake was great. When we first saw our cake at the reception I was blown away, it was perfect! One thing to note that I was unaware of: if you don't buy your cake topper from Buttercream they do not place it on the cake, it is then your caterer's job. Just something to note.

We picked Buttercream because our caterer would have charged us a cake cutting fee if we picked any other cake. Our cake from Buttercream was BEAUTIFUL -- absolutely gorgeous. I liked that they had a lot of different cake styles to choose from at their place in Minnetonka. I didn't love the cake's taste (it was fine), but many of our guests raved about it so I'm guessing the taste is what the vast majority of people like - and after all, it's nice to please the guests! My main complaint was that the pieces cut by our caterer (Bayview) for our guests were extremely small, so we ended up with a ton of leftover cake. We could have purchased much less cake (which would have been nice because it was expensive per slice!). I wish Bayview and Buttercream would have coordinated more because they have this special relationship, and that we could have ordered less cake and saved some money. However, my main focus was the appearance of the cake, and that was awesome!

Quality of service was very poor. The flavor was about the only thing that was good about the cake. The design was nothing like what we had discussed/sketched together. I even had given them a picture of exactly what we wanted and specific color swatches and the design just came out horrible...nothing like what we wanted. The cake was also stacked with a gap inbetween tiers and the main cake was stacked crooked. They need more professional people delivering cakes.
It was also hard to get a hold of them. I called them several times trying to give them final payment and nobody would answer the phone. Also, their turn around for responding to e-mails was usually more than 3 days.
Our cakes, serving 130 people, cost over $500...and the design was horrible, so there was not much value for cost. If you use Buttercream make sure you pick a design that a monkey could do and one that you see multiple times in their picture books so you know that they can do them. Also, when you actually look through the picture books they provide you to pick a design from, their pictures look nothing like the pictures on their website.
Buttercream is good for one thing...flavorfull cakes. Hopes this helps some brides out there.

I only got a bite of cake during our cake cutting, but from the tastings we had with Buttercream I know it was great. Our guests loved the cake. The only complaint I could find was the limited decorative options included in the base price. We ended up purchasing ribbon which they put on for us, and flower petals to make the cake more interesting. Our guests however loved how simple and elegant it looked. We probably would have ordered our groom's cake through them as well if we had more decorative options.

The cake was amazing! They were very flexible with the design as well. I indicated my vision and the cake turned out amazing! My only issue is that they are hard to get a hold of. Other than that - great cake!

I don't normally like cake but Buttercream Cakes are awesome. we tried numerous places and every place that we tried we left feeling very sick, not Buttercream. I have also been to many weddings were they ended up with tons of left over cake. they made our cake the exact way that we wanted it to look and we only had maybe 5 to 6 pcs of cake left after the wedding. We are also please with the fact that next year on our anniversary they will make us a fresh duplicate of our cake top. I would tell everyone I know looking for a wedding cake to go with Buttercream.
