    The Butter End Cakery was a pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication style was direct, clear, and efficient, which made the process of ordering our cake and desserts stress-free. The quality of their work was excellent. The cake was delicious and they made sure to provide a variety of cupcakes to accommodate all tastes and dietary needs for our guests. They even coordinated with our caterer to ensure everything was delivered and displayed properly at the venue. Overall, The Butter End Cakery got the job done and helped make our special day even sweeter!

    We booked The Butter End for our wedding and we (along with all of our guests) loved the cake. Kim and her staff were so delightful and easy to work with from start to finish. We also scheduled a cake tasting in which I got to try TEN different flavors of cake, all of which were absolutely delicious. I even got to bring some back home for my mom and fiance to try out. We ended up choosing two flavors, banana bread and almond, both of which were a hit with our wedding guests. Kim and her team also perfectly captured the decorations for our cake - we wanted pressed flowers that aligned with the theme and vision for the rest of our wedding and it turned out to really beautiful. We will have to come back to celebrate our anniversary and order cake in our wedding flavors because we loved it that much.

    I cannot say enough about the most amazing wedding cake created for my daughters wedding by The Butter End Cakery! It was absolutely gorgeous and delicious. Everyone raved about the cake. I was impressed from the start with my interactions with the staff who were so professional and excited for us about the day and excited about their product. We absolutely enjoyed the elevated and special tasting hosted by owner and designer Kimberly. It was so hard to choose from the many delicious options and we loved that she spent time with us and also "drew" us our cake as an artist so Sarah could envision it. We have a picture of her drawing that will remind us of that special day. We choose the carrot cake which is insanely good with hand grated carrots (because that was something special to the bride and groom) and the coconut passionfruit because it reminded the couple of our special family vacations in Hawaii. Like I said, everyone raved about the cake. Could not have been happier with the experience! Highly recommend The Butter End!

We were so impressed with The Butter End Cakery and would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.
