Beautiful and classic cake 10/10
I would recommend Gateau cakes to anyone! Our wedding cake was not only beautiful but soo delicious and all our guests kept telling us how great the cake was. Tiered wedding cakes tend to be dry but this cake was moist and tasted great, offering more complex flavors than the other bakeries we sampled. We also loved that we could get Swiss merengue or Italian buttercream as we’re not fans of American buttercream since it’s overly sweet. We chose a cake slightly larger than what we needed to have leftovers and an anniversary cake topper and we’re so glad we did, she even provided a box to save our top layer. We ordered the wedding bliss flavor and it was such a crowd pleaser. For the price, we thought this cake went beyond our expectations. Thank you Gateau cakes!I would recommend Gateau cakes to anyone!

Best cake ever!
We got the Wedding Bliss cake from Lora, and it was sooo good! Our guests thought so too - when cake was served the dance floor was completely empty while everyone enjoyed cake. We even had people enjoying it who typically aren't fans of cake (I know, how is that even possible!?). It was just the best! :)We got the Wedding Bliss cake from Lora, and it was sooo good!

Gorgeous, delicious, unforgettable wedding cake
Gateau was easy (possibly the only "easy" wedding decision/planning task), incredible, and perfect for our wedding day needs.
Lora was very friendly, organized, responsive, and thoughtful throughout our wedding planning. She clearly has a real passion for what she is doing and wants everyone else to feel it too- through a love of pastry and deliciousness!
First, the vision: I sent Lora 2-3 photos of a cake design (tone on tone lacy piped design cascading down the 4-layer cake) I found on Pinterest, and from those few photos, she created EXACTLY what we wanted! The cake was stunningly perfect and created a beautiful visual medium that set the tone during our reception. Lora takes almost any creative idea you present to her and without question, turns it into a wedding cake masterpiece.
Next, the taste: WOW. I had never had better wedding cake in my entire life and my guests said the same. Every flavor (we did multiple classics) were moist but held a wonderful crumb, buttery and rich but not overdone, well-balanced with sweet, creamy, and tart, and beautifully layered. Even the fondant (necessary top layer for designs), which usually is not my desired texture or taste, was very tasty and welcomed on top of the layered slices. My personal favorite was the perfectly zingy yet buttery lemon cream flavor.
Last, the professionalism: There were no concerns from Lora or us throughout the process. She did not burden us with lots of questions or "what ifs." She was a pro in taking on our project with true expertise and delivering with ease.
I also MUST mention the incredible attentiveness and role she played in our more difficult than normal allergen requests- my groom is allergic to gluten, dairy, soy, legumes, nuts, and sesame, and she was able to produce a smaller groom's cake for us that was not only completely safe for him and his family to eat, but SO TASTY that you couldn't tell what it was "missing." It was amazing that Lora could produce both completely different cakes without missing a beat and providing us a perfect experience for what could have been stressful with all of the food allergies. She is well-versed in what allergen-free ingredients taste the best and also in how to prevent all cross contamination, which we cannot express our gratitude and appreciation for enough.
Gateau was ideal for our unforgettable wedding day and I cannot recommend them enough- hire them! Eat their decadent cakes and spread the word! You will not regret it.Gateau was easy (possibly the only "easy" wedding decision/planning task), incredible, and perfect for our wedding day needs.

The best wedding cake
Your search for a cake baker ends here – hire Gateau. Lora not only bakes the most delicious cakes, but she is kind, creative, experienced, passionate and incredibly talented. Seriously, this is the best wedding cake I’ve ever had and many of our guests said the same. It was flavorful (we went with the vanilla raspberry flavor with buttercream) and the texture was truly perfect, not to mention beautiful. They are a work of art. Lora is easy to work with and will bring your perfect cake design to life. Her cakes are also reasonably priced for the quality of cake you receive. Though I see some people moving away from traditional wedding cakes, I think it is a special part of your reception and important touch on the overall experience for your you & your guests. If you are on the fence, I HIGHLY recommend working with Lora & Gateau to bake your wedding cake.Your search for a cake baker ends here – hire Gateau.

Lora is great to work with- professional and flexible. She puts a lot of thought into her designs and includes details in them to personalize every cake. The cakes themselves are absolutely delicious and come in a variety of different flavors.

Best Wedding Cake Ever
The wedding cake we got from Gateau - the almond raspberry dream - was THE BEST tasting wedding cake we’ve ever had, and we got that compliment from many of our guests as well.

This is the best cake EVER! Everyone loved this cake so much and inquired on where we got it. Great service by Lora at Gateau Bakery from start to finish. Have ordered birthday cakes as well that are absolutely delicious.

Delicious!
Our wedding cake was DELICIOUS. Lora was great to work with and very responsive. We did a box tasting to choose our flavor and ended up getting one of her beautiful non-custom cakes. Delivery also went off without a hitch. My mother ate 6 slices. Highly recommend!

Exquisite flavor & presentation, wonderful to work with
Lora was incredibly professional, understanding and kind to work with throughout the many changes we had to make to our 2020 wedding order. As soon as we took the first bite of our tasting we knew we wanted Gateau as the baker for our wedding cake. Not too sweet and wonderfully light. We had already seen the pictures and knew her cakes were beautiful. We started off with a large wedding and ordered the Wedded Bliss flavor (strawberries & cream) for our wedding cake and the Peach Cobbler flavor for the groom’s cake. As it turned out we had a wedding for 25 people, kept the Wedded Bliss flavor for the wedding cake and sent everyone home with a box of 4 cupcakes - 2 Wedded Bliss and 2 Peach Cobbler. We kept a box for ourselves and put it in the freezer for our first anniversary which we just celebrated (I’m a little behind writing my wedding vendor reviews..) and those bad boys were delicious after having been frozen for a year! Pardon the picture - I forgot to take it before we had already eaten 2 LOL. Do yourself a favor and use this bakery for anything and everything you can.Lora was incredibly professional, understanding and kind to work with throughout the many changes we had to make to our 2020 wedding order.

Perfect Wedding Cake!!
This Naked Wedding Cake was perfect!! The top layer was Vegan for the Bride and Groom and Lora had the experience and education to make it perfect. The cake was delicious and her attention to detail was exceptional. Delivery was on time and we did not have to wonder about anything. Lora was quick to adjust for a wedding postponement due to Cover, and very easy to work with at all times.This Naked Wedding Cake was perfect!!

Lora is an amazing baker! We had a wonderful experience from the very start when we did our tasting at her beautiful tea room in Warrenton. We loved everything we tried and went with VooDoo Love as our cake flavor - amazing! Lora even helped me pull off a surprise for my husband - she is extremely trustworthy! I can't wait to visit her tea room again and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding cake!Lora is an amazing baker!

Delicious, Customized, & Allergen Friendly
I HIGHLY recommend Gateau Bakery. It's a small, local, woman-owned bakery. The owner and pastry chef, Lora is extremely experienced, kind, friendly, and had no concerns about making my wedding cake highly customized. We had individual and separated cakes for gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free, and "normal" and got high compliments on every single cake. (I did cross taste them myself and confirm they were all delicious.) She makes all the cakes from scratch and keeps in touch with you through the entire process (your first tastings will be in the tea room with Lora herself!). Also, my wedding was local so Lora hand-delivered each cake to my wedding, and helped with the cake-related flowers/decorations to ensure it turned out perfectly.I HIGHLY recommend Gateau Bakery.

I highly recommend! Lora took my pumpkin obsession and made it into a beautiful two tiered naked cake. We also got 100 cupcakes. It was so delicious I'm counting down the days until our one year anniversary to eat the cake top!

love gateau
Lora and Gateau were a pleasure to work with for our wedding day. We had Gateau cake at another wedding, and were amazed by how delicious and moist it was. When our wedding venue also recommended Gateau, we sampled a few flavors and found our wedding cake! Lora was very responsive over email and communicative with our vision as well. One thing to keep in mind is on the day of the wedding, you really are not supervising the cake etc arriving, which I only saw at the reception. You really want someone you can trust, and Lora came highly recommended to me, and I would recommend her to anyone. I ate 3 pieces of the wedding cake and am not even a cake person :)

Simply Sweet
Gateau makes custom wedding cakes, but they also have an economical line called Simply Sweet. We went with this option, as we wanted a simple one tier cake. The order process was very easy, and Gateau did a great job!Gateau makes custom wedding cakes, but they also have an economical line called Simply Sweet.

Our wedding cake and groom's cake for our 9/29/18 were beautiful and were seriously the best cakes I've ever had. The cake was one of the most important details for me--not so much the design, but I wanted my guests to be blown away by the taste. They are still telling me about the cake--I brought some thawed pieces (from our freezer) to guests who had to leave before we cut the cake--and they loved it. We've had a little bit every now and then with some wine--and we will be sorry when it is gone! We used one of Lora's designs from her Simply Sweet line (the Fabienne)--and it was perfect. Lora's Green Bay Packers design for our groom's cake was awesome. We chose the "Wedding Bliss" flavor for the wedding cake and the "Chocolate Fantasy" for the groom's cake--amazing. The other flavors we chose for our tasting (we got the freshly made boxed samples--great for busy couples!) were divine as well--you'll have a hard time choosing!Our wedding cake and groom's cake for our 9/29/18 were beautiful and were seriously the best cakes I've ever had.

They are still telling me about the cake--I brought some thawed pieces (from our freezer) to guests who had to leave before we cut the cake--and they loved it. We've had a little bit every now and then with some wine--and we will be sorry when it is gone! We used one of Lora's designs from her Simply Sweet line (the Fabienne)--and it was perfect. Lora's Green Bay Packers design for our groom's cake was awesome. We chose the "Wedding Bliss" flavor for the wedding cake and the "Chocolate Fantasy" for the groom's cake--amazing.

We absolutely LOVED working with Lora. Her shop is so beautiful and she is so nice, we actually stayed to chat with her for about an hour after our wedding cake tasting appointment. Her cakes are phenomenal. I really cannot state that enough. We really had a hard time deciding on which flavor because they were all so good. We ended up selecting a Velvet Vanilla flavored Simply Sweet Non-Custom Cake and decorated with flowers. We provided Lora with a photo of our vision and she executed it beautifully. We also ordered Cinnamon Pear macrons as wedding favors. Our wedding guests were so complimentary of the cake and macrons. Many of our guests asked us where and how we found our baker. After our cake cutting, we asked our wedding planner to please cut a big hunk of cake and have it delivered to our room. After the wedding, we literally sat on the floor of our room and shared a giant piece of wedding cake. It was a one of many highlights of our night. We are already planning to purchase another cake for our birthdays this fall and planning to order a smaller cake for our anniversary next year. We are determined to try all of the flavors now. Look no further than Gateau Distinctive Cakes, there really is no comparisonWe absolutely LOVED working with Lora.
