Award Winning Experience

I ordered a 3 tier wedding cake for my nephews wedding. The flavors were amazing! Chocolate Bavarian, Passion fruit, and Vanilla Bean. I personally enjoyed every flavor especially the vanilla bean flavor. The passion fruit was a hit for some but not others. The cake was most and not too sweet including the fondant. The fondant was one of the best I’ve tried. It was more like a light chewy marshmallow. It was such a hit at our small intimate celebration. Everyone was raving about the cake! The customer service was also excellent and I appreciated the time Alexandria took to call me and go over my order since we were not local and was not able to do any tastings. I preferred to speak with someone vs order online. I definitely recommend this spot for wedding cakes and if I’m ever back in town I will definitely be stopping in to try some of their smaller pastries!

Affordable high quality wedding cake!

From the moment we tasted the cakes at Alexandria Pastry Shop we were blown away by the flavors and quality of these cakes. We did a 3 tier red velvet and a sheet cake that was vanilla buttercream with a raspberry filling - both were impeccable and our guests complimented them all night. The presentation was stunning - they copied the exact picture of the cake I wanted and it was perfection! They are also incredibly affordable compared to other wedding cake shops and this pastry shop doesn’t use any fake ingredients and source locally - incredible!

Great dessert bar for our wedding

We worked with Alexandria Pastry Shop for our wedding in August 2022. In lieu of a typical wedding cake, we had a buffet of assorted desserts- cupcakes, fruit tarts, cookies and brownies. All the guests complimented the treats and the team was easy to work with in advance of and on the big day. We recommend!

Delicious cake!

We received many compliments on the taste of our cake! In an effort to save money, we ordered a 3 tier cake with an extra sheet cake at the baker’s suggestion.

Best local pastry shop

Let's start with their cake tasting, they went above and beyond with size of cake slices. They were very thorough with cake design, and they DELIVERED quality in design. I didn't expect a pinterest picture ready cake, and they left me speechless with how beautiful it was. Their mousse cakes are so moist and best of their kind. Cannot wait to get our cake every year for our anniversary.

Great cake; helpful throughout

First off, the cake was delicious. But more important than that, the Alexandria Pastry Shop worked with us throughout our wedding process (even as we had to change our big celebration from 2020 to 2021 as a result of the pandemic) to help us design the cake we wanted and for flexibility as our plans continued to change. Great cake; great service.

Wonderful Winter Wedding Cake

My husband and I tasted so many cakes and visited several bakeries. Alexandria Pastry Shop stood out because it tasted the best. Period. We opted for three flavors: carrot cake, Red Velvet, and Bavarian cream. All were amazing, especially the carrot cake, probably because the carrot is sautéed in butter before it's put into the batter! Tom and his team were amazing, and the end product was a delicious, three-level winter wedding cake that looked like it was dusted in snow. It also got rave reviews from our guests!
