Ellen and her team at Cakes to Remember were great. They were able to create a delicious gluten free tier for our wedding cake, and made a beautiful and elegant cake that was exactly as we had described to her. All of our guests loved the cake and took it home to enjoy the next day.

Ellen Bartlett of Cakes to Remember is Fabulous!! She is creative, passionate and makes amazing cake. It is not only beautiful, but tastes divine. Guests raved about both the beauty flavors - I can't imagine hiring anyone else. She even met our crazy request to hide a little surprise figure under the top tier (a request of my beloved), and she custom sketched the cake design just for us.

We also had little ones attending our wedding and needed nut-free cupcakes and she delivered perfectly. We are so happy with her and would recommend her to everyone. I can't wait for out future celebrations as husband and wife to call upon her expertise again, or the anniversary layer that we may need to dig into prior to the anniversary because it's just that good! : )

Ellen makes delicious and gorgeous cakes. She also has a range of options in terms of cost and complexity. We wanted a simple, elegant, tasty, reasonably priced cake, and she gave us that. She deserves the awards she's won! The cake was by far the easiest part of the wedding planning process.

Ellen makes the best and most beautiful cakes. We chose the pattern a few months before the wedding - but my husband and I could not have envisioned such an unbelievably beautiful and delicious cake:)

Incredible wedding cake! We met Ellen with some pictures and ideas for our cake, she took the time to get to know our wedding and helped us figure out the best style for our theme. The cake was exactly what we ordered and absolutely beautiful! It tasted great too!

Hands down the best wedding cake I have ever ever had. Cakes to Remember supplied the cake for our wedding at the Hampshire House and we were so very happy with it! There is no generic sugar sweet taste, the flavors are sophisticated and perfectly paired.

My groom and I wanted a very simple cake, and thought that the flavor and taste of the cake was more important than how it appeared. Cakes to Remember definitely delivered on both fronts, though. They offered a variety of flavors and combinations that were very fragrant and yet classic. We ended up getting a cake with different flavors on each layer. They piped beautiful scrollwork on the Tahitian vanilla buttercream frosting, and accented it with dragees without making it garish. I think flowers really have got to be their specialty; when I visited the shop they had beautiful sugar flowers there, and our cake had beautiful pink roses done in frosting on the top. It looked splendid, and they also gave us a separate smaller anniversary cake to eat!

We had our wedding reception at the Hampshire House in Boston and as part of their wedding package, they include the cake – which just so happens to be a cake from Cakes to Remember… and all I have to say is ‘boy do they make good cakes!’
We chose the Chocolate Kir Royale cake; a chocolatey devils food cake filled with a rich dark chocolate raspberry filling and frosted with Chambord champagne buttercream! The next morning, my sister was raving about the special dessert we served at the reception and asked what happened to our wedding cake we cut - - the cake was so good that she thought we served something other than a traditional wedding cake! Cakes to Remember did a fantastic job and I’ll certainly keep them in mind when I need a cake for our next celebration!

Ellen is fabulous, we highly, highly recommend her. She is professional, highly competent, a pleasure to work with and a very, very talented cake artist. We tried several cake places before choosing her, at all price ranges, and we were confident that choosing Ellen was the absolute best decision. It came down to taste, although the entire process working with her was great too. Ellen took the time to sit with us and talk about the look and feel of our wedding, got to know what we liked, showed us cake photos and took careful notes to make sure she knew what we wanted, gave us cake samples to try... the whole process was thorough and easy, and we got the perfect wedding cake as a result. Our guests all commented that in addition to looking gorgeous, our cake tasted so, so good. This was the sweet sendoff that topped off a wonderful party, that first bite of chocolate raspberry deliciousness after a few hours of dancing and we just looked at each other and started smiling. Thank goodness we chose Ellen. Our guests will not soon forget our delicious cake, and neither will we. Can't wait for our one year anniversary... our top tier is in the freezer waiting for us. :) THANK YOU ELLEN!!!
Sincerely,
Naomi & John

Ellen's cake for our wedding was incredible--simple and elegant and very delicious. A number of people from our wedding commented on it, which I considered amazing, because I have been to a lot of weddings and never even remembered the cake. She worked with our florist to get fresh flowers on the cake, and I never had do a thing. The best thing I can say--and this, to me, is huge--is that Ellen took care of everything. She was incredibly professional and made the day much easier than I could have imagined. Thank you Ellen! --Kate

Ellen and the team at Cakes to Remember were wonderful. Not only was the cake the best wedding cake we have ever had (and guests agree unanimously), but Ellen found a way to create our perfect cake that integrated the bright colors of our wedding while keeping it elegant. She also switched up the design perfectly when our guest count changed 3 weeks before the wedding. If we had to do it all over again, she would be the first person we called.

Ellen did an amazing job on our cakes! Our groom's cake blew everyone away. They couldn't believe it was a cake at all! The inside was red velvet and it was delicious!

Our wedding was equally breathtaking. The buttercream was perfectly smooth, like the finish one would expect from fondant. The sugar flowers were gorgeous! And most importantly, it tasted amazing!

If I have ever another reason to buy a special event cake, I'll be getting it from Cakes To Remember.

Ellen is such an artist! (and she makes her *own* fondant, which if anyone knows anything about cake baking, you know that's a skill that is highly desirable) We went in not knowing what to expect in choosing a cake, but she really listened to our ideas and noted our color scheme, our tastes, the kind of flowers we wanted (none of our details were even really worked out at this point). When our details finally came together we sent related images to her -- we were hoping to achieve something along the lines of Talavera tilework for our cake -- and were totally unprepared for what we received --> a sketch of our cake (with color suggestions) that blew our minds! Still, we had decided to go with buttercream frosting, so we were a little nervous to see how it would actually turn out. Honestly, I can't even explain sufficiently how amazing the cake looked - and moreover, how good it was! Konditor Meister-schmeister -- Ellen Bartlett is the best!

Ellen was spectacular to work with. She understood that we wanted a grand and elegant cake, while keeping the design simple. I'm still getting compliments on the design and TASTE of the cake. Both my husband and I are carrot cake lovers and have tasted many types of carrot cake recipes. Ellen's is by far the best. We can't wait for our one year anniversary to eat the cake once more!

Ellen made our cakes for the Rehearsal Dinner (Groom's Cake) & for the wedding and they were both AMAZING. They were so beautiful and our guests said our wedding cake was the best cake they've ever had. The Groom's Cake for the Rehearsal Dinner was truly a work of art. Highly recommend Cakes to Remember!!!
