We loved party favors cakes. It was a no brainer when we were considering vendors to pick Party favors, and the cakes (we had 2) were DELICIOUS. They did a wonderful job with the buttercream and ganache (I hate fondant), and made one more traditional cake, and one goofy one which we absolutely adored. Jonathan, at party favors, was instrumental in making the designs and costs come together (thanks!!)
My only beef with them is that the cake arrived a bit later than we had agreed - moments before the wedding started. Gladly, I was shielded from this by my wonderful friends, but it should be noted in a review. Alls well that ends well, though. And this ended with a pile of TASTY CAKE.

Our cake was delicious! The great thing about Party Favors is after your initial meeting, they let you come back to pick up several other flavors to try so you can really find the right combination of flavors and fillings (and have lots of delicious cake along the way). Although it's tradition to freeze the top layer, we decided to enjoy ours and ate it after coming back from our honeymoon. So good!

I couldn't stop jumping up and down and saying, "I LOVE my cake." John did an amazing, incredible, awesome job on our cake. We had a specific customized cake in mind. When we talked to John, he saw our vision. When we saw our cake, it surpassed all our expectations! Party Favors is a busy store so sometimes you might feel overlooked but we are so glad we went with them. Everybody still talks about the cake. The cake makes me so happy everytime I think about it.

We knew from the time we got engaged that we wanted Party Favors cupcakes for our wedding cake. Not only were they delicious, they were delivered on time and in good condition (2 hours away from the store!), and everything was exactly as we ordered it and very affordable.

Beautiful design! Ridiculously good tasting cake!
They were very easy to work with. O gave them a picture I liked and then made it to look just like the picture! They give you lots of free samples to try and find the best flavors for you. They also give you a free small cake on your 1 year anniversary. Best cake place ever!

Party Favors did a great job with our wedding cake, and I would highly recommend them. We had a small wedding and were looking for a simply decorated cake that tasted great. We got exactly what we wanted - a beautiful cake that tasted as good as it looked!

First off, Cynthia - the wedding cake coordinator is a super nice lady & the tasting was great. I had a hard time finding a baker I liked, I didn't want to go to the 2 most popular wedding cake bakers so I made my job a bit harder.
at the tasting you can request 2 cake flavors & 2 filling flavors, they make 2 mini cakes for you & also send you off with some cupcakes if you don't try the normal gold & chocolate cake flavors.
I wasn't overly impressed with the cake - we had almond - which was actually very moist, but the frosting was very sweet. We went back for a 2nd tasting & decided on Almond cake with alternating Chocolate mousse & white chocolate raspberry mousse for the fillings.
At the wedding, i discovered the cake was covered in fondant, which i had communicated I didnt want (i actually like fondant but I know a lot of people detest it) - however it was very soft & yummy & the cake was actually better than the tasting!
We also ordered a ton of mini tarts & pastries that I never got to try b/c they were all gobbled up!
The design I had sent them was not the design they put on the cake = not the end of the world b/c I wanted white on white - so it wasn't really noticeable.
The best part is that for your 1 year anniversary they'll make you a new top layer of your wedding cake so long as you submit a picture of your cake... that will be great considering we barely got to eat any at the wedding.

Our wedding cake was delicious and looked beautiful! Another fabulous aspect about Party Favors is that they provide you with a free cake on your first year anniversary, which allows you to serve the entire wedding cake on the day of the wedding. I thought this was a really nice touch.

The cake was great, and they delivered it on time and it looked lovely, so that's what's important, right? I will say that it ended up costing a lot more than I expected based on the estimates they gave me during the tasting when I was still deciding between different vendors. Every time I called and talked to a different person, they quoted me a different price. It took forever to get everything straightened out.
However, the cake was delicious, there were no problems with delivery, and the ingredients were real and good. We had a ton of leftover cake - order a lot less than you think you'll need.

We actually had the choice of two other cake vendors as part of our wedding package. Unfortunately we had horrible experiences with both. Our coordinator referred us to Party Favors and even though we had to pay some extra money, it was completely worth it. The cake was delicious and beautiful! They were great to deal with as well.

Absolutely fabulous! My daughter wanted cupcakes and only chocolate and yellow cake with white frosting. They helped her design a cupcake display that was special and beautiful and unbelievably delicious. We went back for 2 tastings - her fiance didn't care and then decided he wanted to taste them. They were really flexible and pleasant and helpful to deal with. Very professional without being snooty.
They even did an unbelievable Red Sox cake for the rehearsal dinner. I was planning on picking it up that day and became overwhelmed with everything. I called around noon the day of the RD and they had it delivered to the restaurant by 2pm - with a very reasonable delivery charge. They then called me to let me know that the it was at the restaurant!
My only problem with the cupcakes was that they were so good I ate too many!

Our cake tasted great and was just the way we described it to the store representative. The store was very generous with cake tastings -- we ended up eating two whole free cakes and two cupcakes! The cake was ordered and delivered with no hitches, and we were very impressed with its appearance on our wedding day. We were able to have a fondant-covered cake with sugar calla lilies for much less than we would have at many other Boston bakeries. Since they are a full-service bakery and do more than wedding cakes, it's possible to book a cake with them much later than you would have to for wedding cake-only bakeries.

I loved so many of the cakes in the books at Party Favors but could not decide what to do; I showed them a picture of my dress and they came up with the idea to create my dress as the wedding cake! I gave them a swatch of fabric from my gown and they matched the frosting to the exact color. This cake was AMAZING. We did different flavors in every layer:
Top: chocolate cake with raspberry chocolate mousse
2nd: yellow cake with mocha mousse
3rd: chocolate cake with mocha mousse
4th: yellow cake with strawberries and cream
5th: (this was in back, because the cake would have been HUGE if it was all stacked up) chocolate cake with strawberries and cream
Prices are really great for Boston cake and the people are very nice. They create the cake to serve your guests - top layer is served and on your 1st anniversary they will make you a fresh cake if you give them a picture for their album.
Our cake was the cake written about in the Spring 2007 Bridal Issue of the Improper Bostonian.
Their butter cream frosting is the best I've ever had, and they have the best mini cupcakes (we had them at our engagement party and my bridal shower).
Delicious!

We had a cupcake tower with a small cake on top for cutting. This allowed to have different flavors for the guests - so they could choose from chocolate, vanilla and spice (our choices). It was beautiful and tasty. After many local tastings we chose Party favors as having the best combination of cake and frosting. And with the cupcakes we were able to take the leftovers home and serve the extras at brunch the next day. We also got our free top-tier on our one-year anniversary. Excellent service!
