Affordable high quality wedding cake!

From the moment we tasted the cakes at Alexandria Pastry Shop we were blown away by the flavors and quality of these cakes. We did a 3 tier red velvet and a sheet cake that was vanilla buttercream with a raspberry filling - both were impeccable and our guests complimented them all night. The presentation was stunning - they copied the exact picture of the cake I wanted and it was perfection! They are also incredibly affordable compared to other wedding cake shops and this pastry shop doesn’t use any fake ingredients and source locally - incredible!

Great dessert bar for our wedding

We worked with Alexandria Pastry Shop for our wedding in August 2022. In lieu of a typical wedding cake, we had a buffet of assorted desserts- cupcakes, fruit tarts, cookies and brownies. All the guests complimented the treats and the team was easy to work with in advance of and on the big day. We recommend!

Delicious cake!

We received many compliments on the taste of our cake! In an effort to save money, we ordered a 3 tier cake with an extra sheet cake at the baker’s suggestion.
