We still have people raving about our cakes 6 years later. I order a cake every year on our anniversary and I have also ordered my son's 1st birthday cake from them and plan on it again for my other sons first birthday this year. Best bakery in the area!We still have people raving about our cakes 6 years later.

Delicious groom's cake
We booked with Candy Haven for a simple groom's cake. The flavor was chocolate cake with Bavarian crème filling and it was decorated to look like a putting green. v We picked up the cake the day before the wedding and the cake was still moist and delicious the day of the wedding. Highly recommend!We booked with Candy Haven for a simple groom's cake.

Delicious!!
I got our Wedding cake and Groom's cake from Candy Haven. Our Wedding cake was white chocolate with white buttercream icing and one tier white chocolate marble with butterceam icing(which I didn't get any because it was all gone!). Very easy process and everything went smoothly. Very reasonable pricing. Very happy overall.I got our Wedding cake and Groom's cake from Candy Haven.

Great cakes!
If you're looking for a delicious cake that is also affordable, look no further than Candy Haven! Both our wedding cake and groom's cake were so incredibly good. We had hardly any left! The staff were super helpful and kind during our tasting and it was a no brainer to order our cake through them.If you're looking for a delicious cake that is also affordable, look no further than Candy Haven!

Beautiful Cake and Great Tasting!
I hired Candy Haven because they did the cake at a friends wedding and I remembered how great it tasted! I appreciated the affordability of Candy Haven as they were the most realistic with their pricing. The grooms cake was free with the wedding cake purchase. They did a beautiful job of creating my 4 tier wedding cake and the grooms cake to represent the Arkansas Razorbacks where my husband and I attended school. Candy haven was extremely professional and quick to respond with any request I had. I am very grateful that they were a part of our day!I hired Candy Haven because they did the cake at a friends wedding and I remembered how great it tasted!

Ashley was amazing! Our cakes were beautiful! They specifically dyed the cakes to exactly what I wanted. The cakes were delicious and beautifully decorated! We even got 75 chocolate covered strawberries! It was the perfect! I will say they forgot the cake stands, but drove all the way back to Denton and they were there in time and never even blinked. I highly recommend Candy Haven!Ashley was amazing! Our cakes were beautiful! They specifically dyed the cakes to exactly what I wanted. The cakes were delicious and beautifully decorated!

Loved our cake tasting experience at Candy Haven! Ashley was really nice, explained everything thoroughly, and left the room while we sampled the cakes. (I hate when people hover when I am eating).
I showed them pictures of what I envisioned, and was told I could drop off the flowers and cake topper the day before the wedding. It tasted great and looked absolutely gorgeous!Loved our cake tasting experience at Candy Haven! Ashley was really nice, explained everything thoroughly, and left the room while we sampled the cakes.

Candy haven has been a tradition in my family for 3 daughters! We love their cakes, they're beyond yummy, and so beautiful! Our grooms cake turned out beyond perfect (our alma mater's seal, which isn't a very common one) and we had people going back for more and more through the night!Candy haven has been a tradition in my family for 3 daughters!

My husband and I had such a great experience with Candy Haven. At our cake tasting, Ashley helped us come up with ideas on how to truly personalize the groom's cake and assured us that they would be able to bring to life the bridal cake I imagined. We were amazed at the wonderful detailing of our cakes -- and they tasted fantastic!! I would highly recommend them -- they won't disappoint!My husband and I had such a great experience with Candy Haven.

We loved working with Candy Haven. My husband and I got married at the Milestone and our cake was included in our package. We met with Candy Haven for a cake tasting (which was soooo good) and then showed them what we were wanting. They were so accommodating and easy to work with! We loved that each layer could be a different flavor so there was something for everyone! Our cake turned out fantastic!We loved working with Candy Haven.

Not only were the cakes beautiful, but delicious as well! We got numerous compliments on the chocolate groom's cake and guests like that Candy Haven allowed us to have each tier of the brides cake a different flavor! Added variety that people enjoyed. The groom wanted a very specific baseball themed cake and Candy Haven delivered!! It was exactly what he wanted. The bridal cake was chosen from a cake seen long ago on their website, and they were able to not only recreate, but modify the cake to be exactly what the bride wanted!!

We throughly enjoyed working with Candy Haven. Ashley did our tasting session and was helpful and fun. She was always willing to answer questions and make adjustments when I called back wanting to change something. The cake they made not only looked but tasted increadable (I had people telling me for the next week how amazing the cake was!). I highly recommend using Candy Haven for any cake needs; you won't find a better cost to taste ratio!We throughly enjoyed working with Candy Haven.

So glad we continued our search for an amazing cake and found Candy Haven the moment our appointment started I knew they knew what they were doing and we would be in great hands. Our cakes turned out beautifully and looked amazing. My husband and I were looking forward to having left over cake and the grooms cake was demolished by our guest and many took a slice of wedding cake home ( we had way more than enough cake for our guest but they couldn't get enough!) Thank you for being easy to work with and creating such beautiful cakes!So glad we continued our search for an amazing cake and found Candy Haven the moment our appointment started I knew they knew what they were doing and we would be in great hands.

Wonderful experience! We received so many compliments on the look AND the taste of our cakes!! We had a blast at the tasting, as well. My groom couldn't make it, so Ashley sent us home with a box of chocolate covered strawberries for him - so sweet! We absolutely cannot wait until our anniversary to get to eat some more of our delicious cake!Wonderful experience! We received so many compliments on the look AND the taste of our cakes!!

Candy Haven was spectacular!! Our wedding included our cakes so we were sent to them from The Country Abbey. The cakes and fillings were all delicious and beautiful. They were even able to accommodate the cake to hold the heavy Precious Moments figurine I wanted on the top. We would highly recommend them!!Candy Haven was spectacular!!

Ashley at Candy Haven was able to book our tasting within 24 hours of contacting her and was super professional, enthusiastic, and helpful. The cake samples were delicious and their range of basic design options was astoundingly diverse and flexible. She anticipated our needs and helped us realize the perfect wedding cake for our style and event. She even went so far as to suggest adding two tuxedo chocolate-dipped strawberries and reproducing the monogram from our invitations in icing on the complimentary groom's cake, and matching the decorative icing on the wedding cake to our wedding colors. Plus, their pricing structure is competitive and an astounding bargain with the level of service we received.
While they were setting up our cake at the venue, my husband brought in the homemade cheesecake topped with a brownie tier that he had made to go with the wedding and groom's cake. The Candy Haven delivery people went out of their way to help him set up his special cake addition by trimming the support dowels, decorating it with chocolate-dipped strawberries, adding a finishing ribbon of fudge icing icing to the tier seam, and even repaired the cheesecake when the side split upon adding the silhouette pet toppers that matched our silhouette grooms topper on the wedding cake.
All in all, the wedding cake and grooms' cake was astoundingly beautiful, moist, and delicious, and the assistance they provided helped make our own contribution to the cake trifecta fit in perfectly with the other two cakes—not only did they look good, they made us look good, too!
Even though we live in S. Arlington, we will definitely be visiting them again to try their handmade candies and kolaches. If the quality of their cakes and their awesome people are any indication, it will definitely be worth the trip.Ashley at Candy Haven was able to book our tasting within 24 hours of contacting her and was super professional, enthusiastic, and helpful.

Used Candy Haven as cake vendor through a package at my venue, The Milestone, and was not disappointed! The consultation was incredibly professional and the sample presentation was lovely and informative. I believe Ashley was the name of the woman who assisted us and she was great. The topper and decorations looked wonderful & the cake was delicious the day of the wedding - other people commented on it as well saying "normally I don't like wedding cake but this was yummy!"Used Candy Haven as cake vendor through a package at my venue, The Milestone, and was not disappointed!

Candy Haven was super easy to work with and we LOVED getting to do our taste testing! The strawberry cake was my favorite, and actually we loved all the flavors so much that I chose three different flavors for each layer and served all of them! They let us match the cake color to my bridesmaids (MINT) and it was like out of a dream. My husband LOVED his cake as well (chocolate and strawberries!).
