    Highly Recommend

    Had a great time working with them - no issues whatsoever! The cake was beautiful (although simple per my request), reasonably priced, and most importantly it was delicious. Seriously *amazing* Italian buttercream frosting. Highly recommend!

    Thank you for your kind words Kate. It was a pleasure working with you and we wish you all the best!!

    Tasty and gorgeous!

    Great value for a delicious and beautiful cake! We were able to get exactly what we were looking for. Sean and Colleen are very talented and professional! They were super responsive with all of our questions. We had a few special requests that they made happen without blinking an eye! We were very impressed! The top tier didn’t last a week in our freezer, it was too yummy!

    Murphy's Specialized Pastry's reply:

    Thank you so much Mel. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed it all. It was a pleasure working with you!! Best wishes

    Murphy’s bakery used a picture I’d found off Pinterest and made the cake look even better! Fabulous tasting and the frosting was dreamy delicious! I highly recommend!

    Colleen and Sean made the whole wedding cake process really easy, even with us planning our wedding from 1,000 miles away. The tasting was great, they were always quick to respond, and the wedding cake looked just like we pictured and tasted fantastic.

    Sean and Colleen made the dessert portion of the wedding planning process an absolute breeze. The cake and assortment of desserts they created were not only beautiful, but tasted phenomenal.

    Murphy's Specialized Pastries is pretty much the best thing that's ever happened to dessert.

    Murphy's Specialized Pastry is simply excellence. I could not be more thrilled with our experience. The individual pastries were extraordinary in both taste and presentation. We had a small cake for cutting that was divine in both design and flavor. I couldn't have been more pleased with the service and product.

    I would highly recommend them for any event. We used them for our wedding cake and it came out better than I could have imagined. I was so in love with it and it tasted so good. The best cake I've had in years.

    Absolutely amazing. They made our wedding cake in a very short amount of time and it was so good. Each of our guests absolutely loved it. I loved that they were totally open to putting Bob's Burgers characters on the cake as well! Thank you so much for the beautiful and delicious cake!!!

    We tried at least 4 other bakeries for our daughter's wedding cake and NONE of them compared to Murphy's. Their prices beat everyone else. We recommend them to everyone now. Our flavors were Banana Cake and Brown Sugar Spice.

    I ended up going to Murphy's for my wedding cupcakes and small 6" cake for a few reasons. They did not have an almond cake on their menu, but they were more than willing to make one for me to try during my consultation. The cake was fantastic! Their fillings are so delicious and the american buttercream is creamy and not too sweet. The cupcakes were a little smaller than other places I looked, but they did also cost a little less. The day of the wedding, they were delivered to my venue and looked and tasted great!

    Murlphy’s Specialized Pastry filled a last minute order for a birthday cake. My granddaughter was thrilled on her special day and so were the guests. There was not a crumb left over at the end of the celebration! It was beautiful and delicious!

    So happy to help you! :)

    I was extremely picky in choosing a baker. So many bakeries bulk bake and freeze products, use pre-made fillings and frostings, and just overall disappoint at large events. You won't find any of that at MSP. We were able to do a tasting, which was professional and fun. We had a one on one consultation, during the tasting, to discuss what we were looking for. They have an expansive list of flavors, but were able to make our cake using flavors that weren't listed on their menu, so don't hesitate to ask if you don't see what you're looking for! The staff was very professional, set up at my reception was perfect, the cake and cupcakes were exactly what we envisioned, and our guests loved the fun flavor combinations.

    We recently met with Murphy's Specialized Pastry to taste 3 different cakes for our wedding. All cakes were delicious, but we decided to go with the vanilla cake with raspberry cream filling. The staff at the shop is extremely friendly and accommodating, and the portfolio of their work is very impressive. I showed them exactly what I wanted (I got some ideas off of Pinterest) and they happened to have something very similar already in their book. They prices are very reasonable, and we both got a very good feeling and left feeling excited and confident with the experience! We cannot wait for our wedding - and to see the cake!!!

    We recently got married and ordered our wedding cake and cupcakes from Murphy's Pastry. They were amazing! We received many compliments from our guests on the cupcakes and our family loved our pound cake wedding cake! They also did a very nice job decorating our cake to exactly how we asked. We couldn't have been happier!

    We have purchased pies and cakes from Murphy's for three years. Sometimes we order ahead, sometimes purchase from the case. Their cakes are beautiful and delicious, but frankly we are addicted to the pies. They have told us they can make mini pies for weddings, so we are giving serious thought to that.

    I met with Sean and Colleen early on in the wedding planning and was so impressed that I decided to basically go with them immediately and cancelled all other cake vendor meetings. They are the best at communication and are more than affordable. I gave them a rough idea of what I wanted and they took it and ran. The end product was delicious and cute! I highly recommend....and want another cupcake!

    Murphy's Specialized Pastry did the absolute BEST job on our wedding cake. Honestly, the comment we heard most after the wedding was "That cake was the best we ever had. Where is it from?" People ate multiple pieces. The cake was outstanding. We had chocolate with peanut butter filling and sticky toffee with vanilla icing. The frosting that they make is out of this world and like nothing I have ever had before. Also, Sean and Colleen were great to work with and one of the few people that made things easier. The cake was both one of the best and the easiest parts of our reception. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

    MSP made us a gingerbread cheesecake with vanilla crust and a dark chocolate, coffee gnocchi. We originally were thinking coffee "frosting". However, we are so happy we listened to their expertise and went with the hard chocolate gnocchi instead. Thanks MSP for a delicious dessert, once again.

    This was the most delicious cake! The guests couldn't get enough! And the service was spectacular- quick response to emails, helpful when brainstorming ideas and planning the cake, came early to deliver and set up the cake before guests arrived... All in all a wonderful experience! These guys are a must try for your big day!!!
