For our wedding we opted to have cupcakes opposed to a cake. Not only were the cupcakes delicious, but they were beautiful as well. After doing our cupcake tasting we now take random rides out to this bakery just to try all of their other delicious treats!! This place is delicious, and everyone is so friendly.

This was the bakery that was included in my wedding reception site's package. I cannot tell you how many little cake testers we tried to FINALLY get our cake ordered! They give you a LOT of testers for FREE and even when you exhaust those....there testers are CHEAP. I was very worried about the cake being dry and the piece Bob and I fed to one another (the only cake we got all night....) was VERY moist! We went with the WHITE cake. We did different fillings in each layer. It was YUMMY!

We originally were getting my cake elsewhere, but that baker backed out just over 2 weeks before my wedding. Central Continental is the Bakery that my reception hall works with so we decided to go with them. So, props to them for making our cake on such short notice! I had a lot of specifications that were not included in the package that we paid for extra, but we were not disappointed. The cake was delicious! We got so many great reviews from everyone. The buttercream frosting was to die for! Definitely recommend!

Central Continental Bakery is the bakery that my vendor went through. I was a little thrown because when we did our tasting we ordered to-go cups for $2.50 of 6 different flavors of cakes / fillings, so it wasnt exactly the experience i was expecting - but every single type of cake / filling was out of this world!!! Everything at that bakery is just amazing. Everyone there is really nice too! The design on my cake was intricate, and didnt turn out like the picture, but it was very pretty and tasted AWESOME! I did 2 tiers of vanilla cream and 1 tier of raspberry cream - just delicious!!

We used Central Continental Bakery for our wedding cake. It was sooooooo good! Our cake originally came with a fondant "frosting". We are not big fans of fondant and preferred that it be frosted with buttercream. They were very accomodating. The cake came out exactly as it looked in the picture with fondant and tasted amazing. They have a beautiful selection and delectable flavors. No Value rating or Cost listed because we're not sure how much it costed; we ordered the cake through our venue (our venue ordered on our behalf).

What can we say expect "you're the best". Our cake was absolutely delicious and everything we expected and probably more. Their buttercream is the best. We ordered the "Danielle" in a white cake with buttercream icing and chocolate buttercream filling. We enjoyed our cake so much that we took half of it with us on our honeymoon - why wait for our 1st Anniversary. Continental is the best and always has been.

I had a large five layer red velvet cake that matched what I wanted EXACTLY. Not only did it taste amazing, but they were professional as well. Love it!

One of the reasons that I chose my banquet hall was that they contracted thru Central Continental for the cake. We had a square, three tier cake of the "Champagne" design. I liked the uniqueness of the cake. We did chocolate cake with raspberry filling. It was excellent. We have frozen the top, but intent to go back and get a fresh cake if it's not good in a year. (Note that I have them 5 stars in all categories as to not bias the rating, but I did not deal with the bakery directly, so i am only really rating the taste, appearance, and design of the cake.

This bakery was included with our reception venue (Makray Memorial Golf Club) & we ordered several sample cakes & were disappointed with how quickly they dried out. Skeptical, we upgraded the cake in hopes of having a more moist result (strawberry filling instead of bavarian cream). The actual wedding cake was STUNNING to look at & absolutely DELICIOUS to eat. Not dry at all, very light & wonderful to eat. We chose white & chocolate with strawberry filling & everyone really enjoyed it. I can't compliment them enough on the beauty of the cake - it was breathtaking.

AMAZING!
I did not work personally with Central Continental because our venue contract provided the cake from this vendor. I must say it was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!
I picked out the "FOUNTAIN BLUE SPECIAL" and I just loved the simplicity of it with a few petals around it.
Thank you for being so great.

Our cake turned out amazing! The place we got married worked one on one to make our special cake! It had resembled a bubbly champagne cake! The flavors were awesome and it wasn't to sweet it was perfect! We have been going here for years and when I found out we got to use them I was at a relief! You know you will Always get good quality!
