    Perfect cutting cake for our wedding

    We loved working with cake bloom! We wanted a small, two-tier cake for us to cut during our wedding reception. We chose another dessert option to serve to our guests vs. serving cake. We purchased their five-slice sampler (each one was delicious!) to make the decision of our cake flavors. We are not local, so they were flexible and waited until we were in town about a month before the wedding to pick up the samples and make our decision. The cake was exactly what we were wanting and the floral additions were beautiful. We definitely recommend Cake Bloom if you’re looking for a small cake for your wedding or event.

    Most delicious + gorgeous cake ever!

    Cake Bloom is hands down the best. Not only was our cake gorgeous with the pressed florals, it also was insanely good. Never had so many guests talking about how delicious the cake is at a wedding. We had both carrot and lemon and I don't know what she does but it's insane! Also they were so professional and easy to work with. Hire Cake Bloom ASAP!

    Thank you Cake Bloom!

    My planner Sarah Fay Waller, a Charlottesville native, recommended Cake Bloom to my family and I for my June 2023 Wedding. Our first tasting was so fun, and we all unanimously agreed on the carrot cake. It was divine. Our wedding cake was beautiful and absolutely delicious. We were eating last pieces on the way to the airport to fly back home to California and my family took the rest home and enjoyed it well after our wedding! Thank you so much Cake Bloom, we loved our cake so much!

    Best wedding cake I've ever tasted

    To be perfectly honest, I’ve never had an amazing wedding cake before, so my priority for our cake was that it would look really pretty and taste good. We were blown away with how good all the cakes we tried from Cake Bloom were and ended up going with the lemon cake with lemon curd and strawberries (seasonal citrus). Not only was Susan very easy to work with and delivered a beautiful three tiered cake, but the cake was absolutely AMAZING. Even our wedding planner said it was the best cake she’s had at a wedding and many guests commented on how delicious and moist it was. We’re so excited that Cake Bloom has a storefront so we can pick up a baby cake whenever we’re in Charlottesville!

    Awesome Graduation Cake!

    I was looking for a bakery to make a cake for my daughter’s university graduation party. They were flexible, helped me through the decisions and even delivered the cake! It was not only beautiful, but it was delicious. Everyone had such great things to say. Thanks for helping make it a great day.

    Perfect cake for our wedding!

    I had not planned to have a cake for my original wedding in 2020, but we had a very small ceremony when our original wedding was cancelled and my mom surprised me with a cake from Cake Bloom (the seasonal citrus)- it was so delicious I had to have another for our rescheduled big wedding this year! The team at Cake Bloom was easy to work with and the cake was just as delicious the second time around!

    amazing cakes!

    Cake bloom was a breeze to work with. We actually booked them on the later side because of covid and they make our wedding cake perfectly. I still have guests comment on how good the carrot cake was almost a year later! We can't wait to eat it on our one year anniversary, it was that good. Work of art!

    Susan at Cake Bloom is hands down the most phenomenal cake baker we have ever met! She made us feel so at home in her Sonoma studio for the tasting and brought our cake vision dream to life, even better than we imagined! She is kind, punctual, and professional. Honeybook is very easy to use for contracts & payments. She took on the challenge of our five tier four feet tall buttercream cake. While hard to imagine, the cake tasted even better than it looked! She uses natural ingredients and brings together flavors that make your mouth water. Everyone raved about our cake! The look and taste! Cannot recommend her enough!!!! Susan, you are a talented chef that is willing to go out of her comfort zone and create a masterpiece beyond expectations. Hands down to the best Baker in the whole Napa region. We did extensive research, multiple tastings before we met and yet you won our hearts with a special piece of art. Can't thank you enough for all the hard work you put in!

    Susan makes the best cakes, honestly. My wife and I went for a tasting, brought a few friends, and we all left with huge smiles on our faces. Susan uses many organic ingredients and has a strong sense of flavor combinations. There were a lot of options and we were happy to be able to choose different flavors for each tier. We ended up getting a lovely 3-tiered naked cake for our wedding and will be making some arrangements come anniversary time.

    Best cake we have ever eaten, no lie!!! That was the overwhelming verdict from our entire wedding party, people could not stop raving about the cake, especially the carrot cake. We ordered two small cakes for our tiny wedding - one carrot and one chocolate. Susan was a breeze to work with and communicated effectively over email. We were planning our wedding from Nashville so we couldn't taste the cake, but we absolutely made the right decision choosing Cake Bloom. Susan was flexible and friendly and brought our two small cakes all the way to San Francisco for our wedding. They looked beautiful but tasted even better! You can really tell the effort and love that was put into each cake, and the all-natural, local, and organic ingredients stood out above your typical fondant-covered, dry wedding cake. The chocolate cake was very rich and decadent and we spent the next few mornings having a slice of leftover wedding cake with a cup of coffee, such a treat! The carrot cake was easily everyone's favorite, some wedding guests who claimed to "not like carrot cake" couldn't stop eating it! I highly recommend Susan and Cake Bloom for anyone looking for a natural, romantic, and delicious wedding cake experience!

    Susan is the best! We got 3 different cake flavors. We had about 1/10 of the cake left and we took it home and inhaled the whole thing in a day and wished that we had more. We're really looking forward to our 1 year anniversary cake because we know it will taste AMAZING. I only wish I had to order cakes on a regular basis, because Susan would definitely be my go to person.

    I was a destination bride planning a San Francisco wedding from the east coast & the most stressful aspect of our April 8th wedding was interacting with vendors solely online since we were unable to meet prior to our wedding week. I depended a lot on other bride's reviews and a lot on my "gut instinct". As soon as I saw Cake Bloom, I was immediately impressed by the style of her cakes and the quality of ingredients used. I reached out via email and immediately had a response back that she had availability and would love to set up a call to talk about the ideas I had. From the first moment we started talking on the phone, I knew we had found our wedding cake baker. Susan at Cake Bloom was kind, patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to help cultivate unique flavor combinations for our 3 single-tiered cakes. Susan has a passion for creating beautiful cakes & even though I was unable to sample prior to our big day, I knew that they were going to be great. We decided on two 6-inch rounds (First was: Almond Cornmeal, Apricot Preserves, Amaretto Buttercream Second was: Chocolate Stout, Salted Caramel, Bourbon Cream Cheese Frosting, Vanilla Buttercream) and one 4-inch round (Rainbow Carrot, Salted Caramel Buttercream) which was the perfect amount for our 26 person wedding. I'm sure a lot of bakers are well seasoned in there flavoring profiles but here is where Cake Bloom steps away from the crowd: the personalized touches and attention to detail. Never once did I feel like I was "just a number" or that I was a bother. With any question or email I sent, Susan & Cake Bloom were quick to respond and happy to help! A great example: she sourced a special beer made by the company my husband works for to use in the Chocolate Stout Cake! It was such a great detail to tell our guests this and it made it that more special! My only regret is not ordering a bigger Rainbow Carrot Cake - SO good! Thank you Cake Bloom - You made this granddaughter of a baker one happy bride!

    Susan's is not only extremely responsive and a pleasure to work with but her cakes are extremely delicious and absolutely stunning. All of our guest kept complementing the cake saying it was the best wedding cake they've ever had! I credit this to Susan's talent and the amazing ingredients she uses to create her cakes.

    Cake Bloom did a wonderful job with our wedding cake. I knew we wanted something rustic, so we went with a 2-tier naked cake. Susan was quick to respond to all our emails, and even provided great advice on how to make the cake look more visually appealing. My husband and I had different flavor preferences -- he wanted the classic white, while I opted for the carrot cake. Both flavors turned out delicious and were not overly sweet, which was another plus.

    I requested some floral decor to be included on the cake. I had a hard time finding pictures of the exact arrangements, so I sent over a link or two from pinterest. The day of the delivery, I couldn't be more excited to see Susan had nailed it! The arrangements were gorgeous and complimented the cake really well. Overall I'm very happy with how our cake turned out and will definitely recommend her to future brides.

    My husband and I had a pretty specific vision for our wedding cake when we met with Susan, and she understood it instantly. (We wanted a rustic/romantic tall naked layer cake with fresh fruit and at least a layer or two of olive oil cake.) We tasted - delish! - and sketched together - all three of us. And in the end we ended up with a dream cake that looked stunning - and totally unique - and tasted great on our big day. Susan was responsive, professional, and accommodating on all fronts; in fact, the cake was one of the few things that did not go wrong on our wedding day (though everything ended up fabulous and we have beautiful memories). There were a lot of moving parts to keep in order on our wedding day, and the cake was one thing we didn't have to worry about and just ENJOY!

    Susan was wonderful to work with! She helped me determine how large of a cake I needed and offered suggestions on which fillings might be best with the type of cake we wanted for the season we were getting married in. I love that she uses natural, organic ingredients. She has cake stands you can rent for a small additional fee if you need one. We ended up ordering a coconut cake with mixed berry filling, and the coconut frosting was to die for! Everything about Cake Bloom was as easy and stress-free as could be. I cannot recommend Cake Bloom enough!

    Cake Bloom, and Susan specifically, did an absolutely amazing job for our wedding cakes! The creations that she put together for our event blew every one of our guests away. She is truly an artist. We knew immediately at the tasting that Susan was the correct choice. It was difficult to choose from the many choices we were presented with as they were all rich and tasty, but we chose 'Simple White' (with Blueberries), 'Rainbow Carrot', and of course, 'Classic Chocolate'.

    Susan was warm and wonderful to work with and was willing to work with any dietary restrictions that our guests had. She was very responsive with us and coordinated directly with the reception location and the florist. When we arrived, the layout was spectacular. Beautiful flowers were laid atop the expertly sculpted cakes. We selected one naked cake, which looked awesome and complimented the other two cakes with the sculpted frosting. Cake Bloom provided a cutting guide for the reception staff, who were able to serve all of our guests a slice of each cake. Everything was spectacular! Thank you Susan for creating such an amazing experience with us.

    It was a joy to work with Susan and Cake Bloom. I wanted a truly unique cake for my wedding and Cake Bloom has the most exquisite, original designs around. She had great ideas of her own to help me refine my vision and was extremely responsive to our needs and criteria. The cake could not have been more special and added so much to the beauty and tone of our wedding. And it was absolutely delicious! Many vendors are not that responsive, and Cake Bloom was a joy to work with. Would definitely, definitely recommend!

    We absolutely loved the Wedding Cake and Groomsman Cakes that Cake Bloom did for my daughter’s wedding. They were absolutely AMAZING! Susan was so easy to work with and artistic. She created cakes that captured everyone’s attention. Not only were cakes beautiful and elegant, they were decadent and scrumptious. The carrot cake was “out of this world”! I highly recommend Cake Bloom for any special occasion.

    Susan was amazing and her cakes were even better! Her responsiveness, dedication to detail and overall talent is hard to beat and I would highly recommend her to any bride that is looking for a delicious and beautiful wedding cake. Susan knew what I wanted only after a quick meeting and pulled together a bride and grooms cake that ended up being the crowd highlight of the evening. Thank you Susan for making the most beautiful cakes ever for my special day!
