Beautiful vintage-style wedding cake

Layers made a fantastic cake for our wedding! It was a beautiful two-tier vintage style cake with lots of piping detail that looked exactly like the inspiration pictures we provided. They weren’t able to provide cherries, but said they could place them on the cake if we dropped some off a few days before the wedding. We went with a two-tier cake in the lemon curd flavor, and a half sheet cake in red velvet to feed a total of 85 wedding guests, and that seemed to be the perfect amount.

Delicious and beautiful cake!

We ordered a two tier cake + a sheet cake for our wedding. The cake was delicious and everyone who tried it, loved it. For the two tier cake, I requested plain white and it was PERFECT. I wasn't expecting much, but was so in love with how it turned out. They offered a cake tasting box so we were able to taste each of the flavor options which was so helpful in picking our cake flavor. The booking process was easy and they delivered it to our venue on the day of. It was a simple process and was very happy with everything

Last minute change

We initial planned to use a different bakery from our area, but found out last minute that they couldn’t do our cake when we needed it, so we took a trip down to Monterey a couple of weeks before our wedding to find someone local to make our cake. We tried a few bakeries then found Layers. While we were there, they walked us through our options and we bought a piece of cake to try and immediately ordered our cake from them. We went with a 9 in cake and had plenty of leftovers for us to all have another piece the next night.

Beautiful, delicious and easy to work with

Loved working with Hilary - she had great communication and made ordering our cake a breeze!

We did pick up wedding cake samples before submitting our order, and we appreciated that cost of the tasting was deducted from our overall cake cost.

Most importantly, the cake was DELICIOUS! So much so that our friends argued over who could take the left over cake the next morning at breakfast LOL.

We ordered both red velvet and carrot cake for reference. Carrot cake is my favorite - but it can be very hit or miss. Layer's carrot cake was an absolute HIT

Amazing service

We did a take home cake tasting box and it was neatly explained and organized. We ordered their lemon cake for our wedding and all the guests raved about how delicious it was!

Above and Beyond!

Hilary was amazing to work with. She was patient with me when I kept giving her the wrong card for her payments [on accident ]. One of the hardest parts for my wedding was figuring out where to put my cake. My wedding site wouldn't keep my cake due to liability concerns. She personally got in contact with my wedding site to make sure they would keep my cake!

Delicious Cake

I chose Layers to do my wedding cake and could not be happier! Hilary and Hazel were so amazing to work with. They were very responsive and made the whole process super easy!

We chose the carrot cake and our guests loved it! We also got chocolate cupcakes for our more picky guests and those were a hit as well.

Our cake was amazing and delicious. So delicious, that we couldn't bring ourselves to save the top in the freezer for our one year anniversary! We are so happy we chose Layers!

Layers was wonderful to work with! They were able to accommodate three different flavors for our cake and beautifully replicated the unique design we found online. Delivery was on time and all staff were professional and communicative. I would highly recommend that anyone in the Monterey area use layers for their cake!

I have ordered many cakes for all my events and I am very pleased with all the variety and service received at this bakery. It's family owned and they have the best cakes in town. They made a wedding cake for my son and daughter-in-law's wedding and it was the best. I wouldn't go anywhere else!
