Decadent and Delicious

We used Calandra’s Bakery in Caldwell for our wedding cake in November 2025. They worked with us to pick the perfect cake for our celebration. Their tasting process was so easy and fun! Our guests we so impressed with the taste and appearance of the cake. We loved how it turned out, from the icing to the flowers and the filling, it was a perfect wedding cake for a perfect night.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We are beyond grateful to Calandra’s Bakery for delivering the most beautiful and delicious cake for our wedding day! From the moment we first saw it, we were amazed by the elegant design and the attention to detail — it was truly a centerpiece at our celebration. And the taste was just as incredible as its beauty — every layer was moist, fresh, and absolutely delicious.

Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how wonderful the cake was, and it made our wedding ceremony even more special. Thank you, Calandra’s Bakery, for exceeding our expectations and creating a cake that will be remembered for years to come. Highly recommend!

Great experience!

Our cake was included with our venue and we chose Calandra’s. We had a private tasting of all the available flavors about 2 months before the wedding. Aisha helped bring our vision to life with inspiration pictures and it looked amazing the day of! They were very easy to work with. We can’t wait to eat the top layer in a year!

Great cake

Everything was great. From the tasting to the day of. We did a private tasting, which was nice so we could be honest with each other without feeling like they were sitting there listening to us. They helped us pick the cake design that we wanted and everything was easy to arrange. Our guests loved the cake!

Delicious and Perfect Cake

Calandra’s wedding cake tasting was easy & fun. They offer a variety of flavors to choose from, giving you a lot of ideas. We went with a vanilla cake with custard and fresh strawberries for our wedding day & it was the cake of our dreams! The cake was delicious, and we received so many compliments on it. Ayla was great to work with and answered all questions in a timely manner. We cannot wait to enjoy our cake on our first anniversary next year, too!

Best wedding cake!!

Calandra’s bakery made a custom wedding cake for my wedding at Hudson House on October 19th, 2024. The cake was absolutely amazing!! The cake was gorgeous and so delicious as well. Calandra’s was able to make the cake so well to our exact specifications based on our in-person consult. The cake was beyond my expectations. Highly recommend!

the most beautiful and tasty cake!!

We couldn’t be happier with the cake from Calandra's! From start to finish, the experience was wonderful. They were incredibly responsive, easy to work with, and really helped us bring our vision to life. We wanted a cake that was not only beautiful but also reflected our style and taste, and they absolutely delivered. It was exactly what we dreamed of!

Our guests were raving about both how gorgeous the cake was and how delicious it tasted. So many of them said it was the best wedding cake they’ve ever had!

Additionally, we had a bit of a mishap on the day of our cake trial—we got lost and ended up arriving 30 minutes late. We felt awful, but they were so kind and gracious about it, and still gave us a warm, welcoming experience. The cake tasting itself was a highlight of the process, and the service was top-notch.

We highly recommend Calandra's for anyone looking for not only a stunning cake but also a wonderful experience from start to finish!
