Beautiful, Delicious, and High Quality!
We found Das Meyer as they were recommended by our day of coordinator, as well as constant recommendations from a bride group on Facebook. We went in for a tasting in their reception space next to their bakery. We were warmly greeted and given a detailed information sheet with cake sizes, prices, and flavors. We were given 13 flavors to try! They encouraged us to take as much time as we needed, and if we wanted to try any flavors a second time they could do that for us as well to help narrow down. We brought our own cake stand (a log/stump) and they measured it and were able to tell us which size of tiered cake would be able to fit on that. We chose three flavors: Triple chocolate, Triple White, and Lemon poppy seed with strawberry filling. Once we had our decision we went next door to the bakery to place our order. We were greeted warmly here as well and we sat at a table and Rachael came over to help us. Rachael was so kind, caring, and patient. She answered all of our questions, and walked us through everything very thoroughly. She was able to capture our vision for the cake and even showed us around the show room to give us a vision of how certain elements of our cake would look. As we were sitting at the table, one of the workers was decorating a cake that was extremely close to our vision, we were so lucky that Rachael was able to capture the details of that cake as well in our order. She was willing to take as much time as we needed to discuss details of the cake. I really felt that they were invested in me as a bride and us as a couple to make sure we had everything we envisioned for our big day. This place is absolutely amazing with what they can do. Any vision that you have, they can achieve it. They even have things you can rent for your cake, or you are also welcome to bring in your own non edible items to include as well. They have loads of flavors, loads of shapes and sizes, and loads of options, not mention that their cake is fluffy and delicious! This place is also family owned which makes it that much more intimate and special. Be aware that while the pricing for the cake is very reasonable and in our budget, know that there are more charges than just the cake. There are extra charges for decorative costs, and delivery and set up. You don’t have to do delivery and set up, however it does make everyone’s life a lot easier since they know what they are doing and your cake is in good hands. Also know that if your cake is stacked/needs support, you have to put down a deposit for things that aren’t optional like the cake stand itself and the pillars for extra support within the cake. You just have to remember to clean them and then return them to the bakery in order to not be charged. Also note that they only take cash and check. When the final invoice came through, it was a little more expensive than what we intended, but we knew the cake would be high quality and what we wanted. On the day of when the cake arrived, we were BLOWN AWAY. It was better than anything we had ever envisioned! We received so many compliments on how beautiful the cake was. It was absolutely stunning and perfect and everything we wanted exactly how we wanted. Once we saw the cake, it was worth it. We received many compliments on how beautiful and delicious the cake was. The chocolate slices were gone in just a few minutes! The lemon poppy seed was so refreshing for our July wedding. The triple white was so light and airy. Every call and every interaction with Das Meyer and its employees well exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend this bakery to any bride with any vision. They are high quality and invested in you, all within my budget. We were so delighted with how the cake turned out, and tasted too! The cake really pulled together our theme and vision for our big day!
