    The Most Beautiful Cake

    Our cake was everything I wanted it to be. It was absolutely gorgeous (though I may be biased, we got to help design the cake), and it tasted absolutely phenomenal. We had three cake flavors, and our guests had a blast being able to try them all and pick their favorite (which was the apple spice cake). The whole process, from tasting and designing the cake to seeing it brought to life was so much fun and everything turned out so much better than I could have ever wanted!

    Absolutely Amazing

    We loved our wedding cake from Zingerman's Bakehouse. The cake tasting box was filled with delicious flavors to choose from. We chose the Buttermilk Cake with Lemon Buttercream filling and it was fantastic. The guest loved it and we were extremely pleased. My cake was created perfectly, i sent a few pictures of my vision and it was exactly like the picture. If you are looking for a cake just choose them, you won't regret it.

    Detail oriented and attentive

    My fiance and I some ideas of what we wanted our cake to look like but for the most part were pretty clueless. The ideas we had were all over the place and our designer really went above and beyond. She captured what we were saying in one drawing and it was very impressive.

    We loved working with the Bakehouse! The cake was delicious, our guests loved it, and it was beautifully decorated. The sugar flowers were unbelievable, and even matched some of the flowers in the wedding. They even made a small gum paste version of our cat, which was awesome :) The cake matched the image we had initially discussed with them during the consultation, and came out even better than we imagined!

    Love love love Zingermans!!! When my fiancé and I had our consultation we were treated like royalty and Alyce sketched out our dream cake right before our eyes! All of the flavors we tried were amazing to the point we couldn't decide what we wanted! About a week after I contacted zingermans asking if they could make certain cakes with fillings we hadn't tried yet and they did no questions asked. They are absolutely wonderful to work with if I could give 100000 stars I would. We will definitely use Zingermans in the future for special occasion cakes :)

    My husband and I are frequent Zingerman's customers- both at the deli and bakehouse. We love that they are a local business, excel in customer service, and use the highest quality ingredients. We did some other cake tastings in the Ann Arbor area, thinking that a Zingerman's wedding cake would not fit in our budget. Needless to say after cake tasting at other bakeries, we couldn't find the right fit for us and ended up at Zingerman's Bakehouse. We never looked back! Their cakes are seriously THE BEST, and we were amazed by the value. Their pricing is very competitive, and we felt the design, quality, and taste of their wedding cakes far exceeded any of the other places we tried. We felt at ease throughout the process, and they make multiple last minute adjustments for us. We received so many compliments from our guests saying it was the best wedding cake they had ever had! We also added a small gluten free cake at the last minute for some of our guests and appreciated the flexibility of Zingerman's Bakehouse to make that happen. We can't say enough good things about our experience with the Bakehouse and would highly recommend them! We are looking forward to our one year anniversary because we saved the top tier of our wedding cake and can't wait to enjoy it!

    We did not end up booking Zingerman's for our wedding, but I wanted to make sure and leave a positive review. Their staff was so nice and they worked with us to figure out what we wanted and their tasting experience is great! The cakes were delicious and they even gave us a tour of their facility. They use local and natural ingredients, which is very cool! I definitely recommend them!

    PERFECT experience and a piece of art at our wedding. So happy with how they were able to create what I had asked for. They also made custom cookies for our guests to take with them. Perfect experience.

    We love Zingerman's!! When we first sat down with Erin, my husband I really wanted cupcakes for our wedding because my husband is not a fan of cake. In fact, he would rather eat any other dessert besides cake. So, we talked to Erin about the different cupcake options, pricing and went on our merry way with our sample box of cakes. When we sat down and compared vendors, we decided to go with Zingerman's based on reputation, quality of baked goods and reliability. Plus, they are located literally down the road off of I-94, near our wedding venue, which was the Marriott in Ypsilanti and we knew they could get there, even in a snow storm (if that ended up happening on our wedding day).

    Well, something amazing when we took the cake home. My husband and I loved every sample! Yes, my husband LOVED the cake! He loved the samples so much that he said that we needed to have an actual cake, instead of cupcakes, so that everyone could enjoy the wonderful flavors!

    We worked with Emily on our New Year's Eve wedding cake. She designed a beautiful, classy and blinged out cake! We chose three different flavors for each tier of the cake. We went with the chocolate, the humingbird and the vanilla chiffon. Elise made our cake, as Erin was on maternity leave, and it turned out amazing! We had a lot of complements on how the cake looked and guests raved about how amazing the cake tasted! We highly recommend Zingerman's for your wedding cake. Erin and Elise were fantastic to work with and they walked us through the entire design process and they made things so easy for us. Our wedding cake was one of the few things I didn't have to worry about on our wedding day.

    We took home the top tier of our cake and I called Zingerman's after our wedding and they told me how to wrap the cake and store it in the freezer. We are happily still enjoying our cake and it's still moist! I promise you won't be sorry if you choose them as your cake vendor!

    Zingerman's Bakehouse did an incredible job with my "naked" wedding cake! It was a 4-tiered cake (each tier was a different "fall" flavor), dusted with powdered sugar and covered with fresh flowers. It was the most beautiful cake I have ever seen in my life! I wouldn't recommend going anywhere but Zingerman's for your cake! They are the BEST!

    Wedding cake was delicious!!! We did a top sheet cake with cupcake base style wedding cake tree, my guest loved all the flavors we chose, Zingerman's did a fantastic job baking the cakes, and the cake tasting part was enjoyable as well! they gave us a sampler box for us to take home and taste so we could pick the flavors we like! Good service! Great value!

    Great team! I had a design in mind and they literally created a sketch of my cake right on the spot. They were patient with me and my fiance as we requested flavor combinations. My guests loved our selection. Creative and delicious and accommodating. I will be ordering for other events based on the feedback from my family.

    Our wedding cake from Zingerman's was exactly what we were looking for! They were great to work with. The cake, of course, was absolutely delicious. They were able to work with our budget and offer sheet cakes with so many unique and interesting flavors! So many guests told us it was the best wedding cake they had ever had. The cake consultation gave us a really great idea of how much everything would cost and the designs available (limitless) as well as trials of any flavor we'd like to try! We HIGHLY recommend!

    We had Zingerman's Bakehouse make 140 cupcakes for my wedding on 5/16/15. They were EXCELLENT, and everyone was asking about them. If you are looking for the best tasting cake/cupcakes, I highly recommend Zingerman's Bakehouse!

    I've used Zingerman's in the past, so choosing them for my wedding was a no brainer. We received helpful guidance during our planning meeting, when we planned how everything would look. We also got a great box of tasty samples. We did cupcakes and a cake topper, and Zingerman's offers a great service where they build a tier for your cupcakes in your chosen colors. It makes everything look so professional! Our cupcakes tasted amazing and looked perfect. I am very pleased with how everything turned out.

    YUMMMMMMMMMMMM! Is all I have to say about Zingerman's Bakehouse. From the tasting to the design and final execution of my wedding cake, they were fantastic to work with. I couldn't wait to cut into that beautiful 5 tiered cake because I knew it would be a hit with my guests! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

    Positively perfect! We wanted variety for our guests, and went with an assortment of cupcakes as well as a small cake for cutting. We featured fall flavors, and they made everything exactly as we envisioned, and arranged it wonderfully on pedestal plates we provided! Nearly every leftover cupcake was taken home by guests!

    As an Ann Arbor native, Zingerman’s is both one my standards for food excellence and one of my favorite places to eat.
    I’d had Bakehouse treats many times before, but never tried their wedding cake, so I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect when I went in for our consultation. That said, the entire staff went above and beyond my expectations in every way, from our first consultation to designing our cake to the product they delivered to our wedding.
    My now-husband and I went in for our first consultation with a couple of ideas of what we wanted on our cake, including what we thought was a somewhat complicated symbol for the middle tier. They immediately took our ideas and drafted a perfect design on the first try, complete with a perfect rendering (and eventual execution) of the symbol. In addition to the design being perfect, the taste of all the samples, and our cake on the day itself, was absolutely delicious. I can’t say enough good things about the Zingerman’s Bakehouse wedding cake team and their confections.

    The consultant at Zingerman's was very professional and friendly, and came up with a simply lovely design from the very mixed and disjointed things that interested my husband and me. When we saw the cake created from the consultant's design, I wished I didn't have to cut it because it was so beautiful, even better than I'd imagined. The layers of cake itself were moist with incredible flavor. Zingerman's Bakehouse is the perfect place to have a cake made. Any future event where I need a cake, I'm heading straight to them.

    Absolutely LOVED my cake!! Both the flavor and the design were well over my expectations! I couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding cake. The actual cake even tasted better than the samples we tried.

    Zingerman's captured my picture/vision to a T and the cake was unbelievable although I didn't have any that night I can't wait to have our topper in one year :-)

    I know our guests loved all the different flavors we chose and the pictures of the cake are to die for.

    Zingerman's bakehouse made our cake and it was glorious! Not only did the cake look amazing - the colors matched the invite sample I had given them perfectly and the design was exactly what I wanted - but it was all delicious, even down to the fondant. We had a really hard time deciding on flavors after the tasting (they were all wonderful!), but I think we chose well because we had NONE left at the end of the reception.

    Working with them has been great! My fiance and I want a totally unique wedding cake but wasn't quite sure how we wanted the final design. Their designer sat with us and sketched up an awesome proposal while we were there. They also gave us a box of cake samples. I wasn't sold on the chocolate sample they gave us (there was only 1 in the sampling) and wanted to try others from their list - I called and let them know and they gave me a few other chocolate types to try for free. So far everything has gone smoothly. Their price was a little higher than others, but we knew that going in with a unique design it would be more expensive, and we budgeted accordingly. We actually came in under budget by doing their suggestion of a smaller cake plus extra sheet cakes. I am glad they offered that idea in order to help keep us in our budget and keep our business!
