    Delicious & Beautiful Cake, Fantastic Value

    We were thrilled with how well the cake turned out on both flavor and appearance especially considering the great value compared to other wedding cakes - Ed and Beth were so easy to work with, responsive and flexible. They were also so accommodating with the two pandemic date changes, and that made our lives so much easier.

    So delicious and beautiful!

    We tried out a lot of bakeries when searching for our wedding cake, and Ed's was by far the best. As soon as we tasted his cake, we knew it was the one. Ed and Beth were wonderful to work with, and he delivered exactly the cake we asked for. We took a huge piece with us on our honeymoon to make sure we got our fill!

    Beth was very responsive over email, and even helped me arrange a donut surprise for my husband the morning of the wedding. Ed was truly a pleasure to work with, and gave us a lot of good information on cake sizes and techniques for achieving the look we wanted.

    We are very partial to the peanut butter icing, and chocolate cake, but you can’t go wrong with anything Ed and Beth sell from the cupcakes to the cookies to the donuts to the meats. It is all absolutely perfect. We will be happily making the drive from Columbia for more of their goodies!

    Absolutely Amazing!

    We had a small display cake and a sheet cake in the back from Ed's for our wedding. It was absolutely amazing and we had so many guests compliment the cake! For the initial tasting we had cupcakes which were great but I was a little worried they weren't moist (sorry I know everyone hates that word lol!) enough. However the cake itself was absolutely perfect!! HIGHLY recommend the Italian Buttercream Frosting.

    We had our cake done by Ed's Country Bakery and it was SO DELICIOUS! We did lemon cake and we got compliments from lots of our guests that it was amazing! The frosting is perfect - not too sugary. Ed was nice and was fast at answering our emails. And the price was reasonable too! Overall, I recommend this place to anyone for their wedding.

    Ed has been making cakes for my family since the early 2000s! He made my 16th, 18th, 19th, and 21st Birthday cakes, so I of course had to have him make my Wedding cake! The price is great and I sent a few designs over of what we wanted and he gave us exactly that. The cake was not meant to be served to guests, as we had a large cookie and smores bar, but it was on accident and it was devoured! We had a Lemon and Chocolate 2-tiered cake with Italian Buttercream icing. Everyone loved it and asked for more!

    We had a great tasting with them before we booked and they created just what we wanted. They were prompt with their set up on the wedding day and the cake was delicious! We've gone back to their bakery several times since booking to enjoy their treats!

    Ed's Country Bakery was perfect for our wedding needs! I decided to not do a large cake and wanted a simple one tier on display and sheet cake in the back to be served to guests. It came exactly how I had pictured and requested... and not to mention.. the taste was incredible! We asked for a white cake with strawberry filling and white buttercream... soooo good!

    I love supporting small businesses and felt more comfortable going with Ed's then a grocery store or overpriced bakery. They are the perfect small town bakery to meet your needs and have plenty of cake flavors and fillings to meet your needs! They are also on the recommended list for Strong Mansion vendors - how we found them.

    Thank you!

    Ed's Bakery provided the wedding cake for our June wedding. Ed made the cake tasting process very easy and he was very responsive to emails. In addition, the cake was beautiful and the most delicious wedding cake I have ever tasted. The price is also very reasonable. We went with lemon cake, raspberry filling, and Italian frosting. Our guests loved it! Highly recommended!

    I can't say enough good things about Ed. The pricing was about half of what I received from other bakeries; I was so annoyed that other vendors would charge you per person (as much as $5!) whereas Ed would recommend the size of cake for your guest count and charge you by the cake instead. My husband wasn't super pumped about the cake tasting (he doesn't have a sweet tooth like me!) but as soon as we took our first bite of Ed's cakes, he was in heaven. Everything was super seamless leading up to the wedding, and our cake looked and tasted delicious on our wedding day. Our guests are still raving about how good the cake is, and some of my guests have sheepishly admitted they waved down our waitstaff to get second (and third!) helpings because it was so good.

    By the time we had our appointment here, we had experienced three other tasting and they are "well know bakeries". None was making me want to whip out the checkbook, I guess it didn't help that I'm a picky foodie. Immediately after my tasting I knew Ed was the guy for my wedding. We sampled several cake flavors and icings and I knew exactly what I wanted. Moist and flavorful is how I would describe each bite. Well on August 29, 2015 the cake was delivered as designed and tasted uuuuummmm DELICIOUS!!!!

    I found Ed's Country Bakery through a friend and made an appointment for a tasting. I am very picky when it comes to icing, but I loved the taste of the cake and icing Ed made! My husband and I decided on a marble cake and vanilla buttercream frosting. It was moist and sweet, but not too sweet. Ed was very professional and easy to work with. His prices were reasonable and they were able to deliver the cake to my venue. The day of the wedding, I got so many compliments on how wonderful the cake was, thank you again Ed's Country Bakery!

    Before your testing, you get to choose a couple different cake flavors, and Ed has traditional and butter cream frosting for you to try with each cake. He gives you full-size cupcakes of each pairing, so come prepared to eat a lot of cake!
    FH and I taste tested almond, chocolate, and carrot cake, but settled on the almond cake with the traditional butter cream. It has so much flavor, and is unlike any cake I've had before. To make sure we covered our bases, we had a tasting with another vendor in the area, who had seemingly won every award in the cake baking world. Ed's cakes were far superior to the other vendor (and much cheaper too!) There definitely won't be any cake left on the guest's plates at our wedding!

    Ed’s Bakery was exactly what we wanted for our wedding! We met Ed one summer afternoon at his family oriented bakery. We ordered and tasted cupcakes, and they were delicious! We set up our order right away! Not only did Ed bake, decorate, deliver, and set-up the cupcakes, but he even let us use our own cupcake stand which we decided to purchase. Our guests loved the cupcakes and raved about how delicious they were. Ed’s Bakery was great, and didn’t break the bank!

    I ordered about 8 dozen cupcakes and a 6" round cake from Ed for my wedding. I was impressed by the variety of flavors that they had (frosting and cake). I wasn't able to taste any of the cupcakes but the guests loved them. My husband and I got the lemon cake with strawberry filling for our round cake and it was delicious! The price was pretty good compared to all the other bakeries, and support the local bakery!

    My daughter was married on November 30, 2013 at Musket Ridge. She did not want a traditional wedding cake. We discussed our desire with Ed and he provided us with two kinds of cheesecakes (pumpkin and chocolate chip) in miniature cupcake size. They were very tasty. He also provided us with a cupcake stand that made the presentation a bit more fancy.

    Thanks for contributing to a wonderful day. I would highly recommend using Ed's Country Bakery!

    We used Ed’s Bakery for our wedding cake for our November 2013 wedding. It was delicious and decorated beautifully, and we received many compliments from our guests. We described what we wanted and Ed provided a cake within our budget. We loved using this family run “old fashioned” business.

    What a total gem of a bakery!

    I planned our wedding long distance, and Ed worked with me over e-mail to come up with the most perfect cake. I sent him pictures of what I wanted and he nailed it exactly. My family went to meet him and taste flavors prior to the wedding, and he prepared four cupcakes in each flavor combination for them to test out (tasting is not free, but at $6 for four cupcakes in a given flavor and considering how low the prices are overall, this place is a bargain).
    And the cake itself, well, what else can I say except that it was the best wedding cake I've ever tasted! It did not cost extra to have different cake/filling flavors in the different tiers, so we were able to serve a variety of delicious types of cake. I am already sad that we're out of leftovers and am looking forward to digging in to that top layer next October...

    The cake is beyond delicious, the prices are super reasonable, and the designs are lovely. Highly recommend Ed's Country Bakery!!!

    Ed's Country Bakery provided us with great service during our consultation for our wedding cake! Ed guided us through the process to make sure we chose the cake and design that best represented us. The cake turned out so beautiful and was absolutely delicious! All of our guests LOVED the cake and also loved that it was from a local bakery made with fresh ingredients. I will be ordering birthday, anniversary, etc, cakes/baked goods from here from now on!

    We searched high and low for a good local pie baker, since we were having wedding pie instead of cake, and were so thrilled when we found Ed's Country Bakery. We ordered Cherry, Raspberry, Lemon Meringue, Chocolate Cream and Apple pies, and so many of our guests commented on how delicious they all were! Ed was so easy to work with, and we could not be happier.

    We decided to go with pies for our wedding and foudn Ed's Country Bakery. They were amazing. They made us 28 pies and everyone we talked to loved them. We had pumpkin, peanut butter, chocolate cream, and apple. We personally ate pumpkin and peanut butter and they tasted great. They are so good that we are making sure we go back once a month for a pie. The peanut butter pie is amazing.
