I found out I needed to be gluten free a few months before our wedding, so finding a cake seemed like an impossible feat. I thought maybe I just wouldn't be able to eat it. But then I discovered By the Way Bakery and omg. Gluten free, dairy free, and kosher was just an added bonus. These cakes are DELICIOUS. You would never know it's gluten free. Helene and team were so lovely to work with and our cake turned out better than I could have imagined. Before choosing our cake, we did a tasting with cupcakes, which was so much fun. Will be a customer for life - the Mo Mix snack is also unbelievable.

My husband and his mom are both gluten free and his dad, a few of our wedding guests, and I are all dairy free so we knew that we had to get a cake that accommodated these dietary restrictions. My best friend had an amazing experience using By the Way Bakery for her wedding a few years ago and we knew that it was a perfect match for us as well when we found out that their cakes are gluten and dairy free.

Helene was such a pleasure to work with and made the process of picking our wedding cake nice and easy. When we couldn’t decide between two different combinations of cake, filling, and icing, Helene showed us an example of what our cake would look like with the exact type of finish that we wanted.

The cake turned out exactly how we wanted and our guests were raving about how delicious the cake was (and that they couldn’t even tell that it was both GF and DF)! We’re so happy that we chose By the Way Bakery and look forward to getting more cakes from them in the future!

From start to finish, the owner, Helene, was directly involved in our wedding cake order and made sure it was perfect. I had ordered from the bakery for our engagement a few years back for some dietary needs of our guests, and I enjoyed the cake very much and returned for wedding cake. There were many things about our wedding that were "outside the box" (no swatches mailed with the dress color or florist, for example), and Helene was super understanding about the cultural differences of our south asian wedding and worked with us to get the cake just right to both her vision as a culinary artist, and our own vision! She was super kind and understanding of my lack of experience with wedding cake ordering and very flexible. She even went out of her way to call our venue when there was some confusion with the delivery time. Not only was our cake delicious, but it was also stunning. Our cake came with two pre-packaged delicious snacks that we enjoyed after our reception and that was nice surprise! Overall a great experience working with the bakery and especially Helene.
