Wedding Cake
 
My brother used Lovin' Ovens for his wedding 10 years ago and his cake was so memorably delicious that it was pretty much a no-brainer to use them for mine. Even if they hadn't been part of the package at our reception site, I would have used them. The tasting alone will blow your mind. Each layer of every cake they make is also layered, so you choose a type of cake and a flavor of filling. The combinations are totally up to you, and each tier of your cake can be a different combination. We had a three-tiered cake: chocolate with vanilla cream filling, white cake with cherry filling (hands down the best filling, and they said it doesn't get used very often!) and red velvet with vanilla cream filling. Also known as delicious, delicious, delicious. Our guests were raving about how good it was. Their design book is huge and always growing. We picked a style from the book and made a few tweaks to make it our own. Our contact, Lindsay, was very friendly and made the entire process very easy. When I had to leave her a message with our final count, she called me back within 10 minutes just to confirm she'd received my message and made the note on our file. As a cool added bonus, if you send them a professional picture of your cake, they'll remake the top tier for free on your first wedding anniversary, so you don't have to have a huge chunk of cake taking up space in your freezer for a year. (They probably do that because no one could actually resist eating their cake for that long.) They make great cakes for other occasions, too!

If you want your cake to taste exceptional, choose Lovin Oven Cakery. We picked a simple style and simple flavors and were thrilled at how delicious everything turned out. Guests continue to compliment us and ask --where did you get that cake from?! We worked with Sara and other members of the staff -- they were attentive and friendly -- staying on top of the smallest details I would have otherwise forgotten or not considered. I'm anxious to enjoy the rest of my cake on 12/1 next year! :)

Sara did a fabulous job on our wedding cake!! The Lovin Oven Cakery makes the most delicious cakes out there and have fun fillings which gave our cake a twist on the normal. We had white cake with strawberry mousse filling and red velvet cake with silk crunch filling. Everyone loved it! The design of our cake was exactly what we wanted and went perfectly with our wedding decor. A great bakery with wonderful people and service.

The cake tasting was excellent, but the hardest part was picking which flavors you like the best from their amazing selection. Not only was their design magnificent and fit our wedding style perfect, their cake was out of this world. Cakes can be rather dull at weddings, but we received so many compliments on the moisture and taste that many people wanted to know where we ordered it from. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lovin Oven and will definitely be a customer of theirs for a long time to come!!

We got our wedding cake through Lovin Oven for our October wedding. Leading up to the wedding, we received excellent help from Sara. At the cake tasting, she was so helpful and in choosing a cake design, they were very flexible. We ended up going with white cake and fudge filling (AMAZING fudge) and the cake was delicious. We also got a sweets table set up through our venue with Lovin Oven and the sweets were both beautiful and delicious!

From first figuring out what our cake should look like, to tasting, and then finally seeing and eating the final product, Lovin Oven did a fantastic job! I could not have asked for a better cake!

Our cake was part of our package at our banquet hall but it was made by Lovin Oven Cakery. This was one of the best cakes I have ever had! And I am not just saying that because it was my wedding cake. The cake was prettier than I expected it to be. We shared the top tier of the cake with our family the day after the wedding and we plan on ordering replica of it on our anniversary. Thank you lovin oven for such an awesome cake.

Our cake was included in our venue package and the vendor was Lovin Oven. The cake itself turned out beautiful. It was decorated exactly as we designed it during the cake tasting. Sara, the wedding cake gal, was very nice and patient throughout the tasting process. They offered great instructions for freezing the cake topper and the even offer a free cake on your 1-year anniversary if you send in a professional picture of your cake! My only minor criticism is the filling in the cake. During the tasting we were shown a picture of wedding cake and it had 3 large layers of filling. I asked if that could be reduced and they said no. When we actually cut the cake, the layers of filling were extremely thin. It's possible they did that because I asked if we could have less filling but it turned out to be not enough filling. We paid extra for an amaretto mouse filling and you could hardly taste it (even though it was in 2 layers - the middle layer had french silk). We were a little disappointed in that, especially since we paid for it, but otherwise it was a fantastic cake. The entire bakery shop is great, if you want other types of desserts/breads.

We got our wedding cake & groom's cake from Lovin Oven Cakery and are so glad we did. Everyone is still talking about how great our wedding cake was! Sara met with us and allowed us to sample everything we wanted to. She also was very helpful with recommendations. We asked for a design for both our wedding cake & groom's cake that they had not done before and both came out exactly as we envisioned. Thank you so much for a great experience!

Our wedding cake was included in our package at Makray Memorial Golf Club, but we had to deal with LovinOven directly for flavor choices and cake designs. Needless to say, my husband and I and all of our guests were incredibly impressed! Our cake tasting appointment was awesome...all of the flavors we chose tasted great! The cake was super moist and delicious. And our cake design was beautiful! They took this ugly little sketch that I made and turned it into a masterpiece. I can;t say anything bad about this place!

My wedding cake was wonderful!!! One tier was lemon with raspberry filling, one was chocolate with raspberry filling, and the final tier was Banana with Banana Custard filling! So amazing...my guests are still talking about it. Sara was also great to work with. I brought her a picture of what I wanted and she made it come true.

I ordered a cake from Lovin Oven as a surprise gift for the groom. I thought a Rocky Balboa themed wedding cake was not going to be easy to pull off, but Lovin Oven NAILED IT! Lots of compliments from my guests and the groom loved it. Plus the cake was delicious, so that didnt hurt either!
