The cake was very beautiful, made in the colors we wanted and with an artistic design that we provided. Riki recreated it very well. The cake tasted fabulous and keep well after the wedding. The guests truly enjoyed the cake.
We went all the way from Richmond, VA to this bakery because of its quality.
Highly recommend them.

We wanted a simple, no-fuss wedding cake, and we found it at Albemarle Baking Cie. We love their princess cake, so we just asked a for a full sheet princess cake with extra sugar roses on top and that was it! We also got bread from them for Sunday brunch and it was delicious, as always. A very solid vendor for anyone looking for a wedding cake.

Riki made us a beautiful wedding cake, and the best part was that it didn't just look great, it tasted great too! He was very responsive and answered email readily.

I tried cakes at a lot of different places before finding Albemarle Baking Company. Their cakes taste good! Very important. So many other buttercream cakes just tasted absolutely awful! Please be kind to your guests and give them yummy cake.

They were flexible and helpful: they delivered it to my reception site, so it was all ready when the guests arrived. I added raspberries to mine, and made up a new way of decorating it (which I drew on a piece of paper and which they recreated very well.) They didn't put the orchids on the cake exactly the way I had asked, but it looked good. And tasted good!

I wanted a simple, yet pretty wedding cake that was actually going to taste good, as opposed to those fondant cakes that look really pretty and extravagant, but don't taste very good. Albemarle baking did exactly what I want -- make a great tasting cake, chocolate with layer of mouse with fresh raspberries, with a marzipan frosting and Riki decorated it with simple marzipan flowers, made in our wedding colors, and I used a pretty modern-looking cake topper. Albemarle Baking was cheaper than competitors, and the looked and tasted great! Plus a perk is that on our one-year anniversary, they will make us a new top tier cake for us to celebrate with instead of having to freeze it!
