We typically hold these appointments on Saturday mornings from 10:00am-2:00pm, or on some select week nights from 4:00-5:30pm. During the consultation you can discuss flavor, frosting, filling, size, shape, decorations, delivery, set up, pricing, and anything else you can think of!

Delicious and Beautiful

The only regret is not hiding enough desserts for ourselves. They treated us like family and were professional and responsive throughout the whole process. We worked primarily with Colleen who helped bring our vision to life. Our cake was beautiful and the desserts were elegantly displayed for our rustic wedding. Most importantly everything tasted amazing and countless guests tracked us down to figure out where they could get more.

Amazing. We thought we wanted some other place, and then this place blew us away. They have lots of flavor choices, and frosting options. Our cake was delivered to the venue and set up early so that we didn't have to worry about anything. They knew our venue, and knew exactly what we'd need. Very easy to work with, and when I brought in my topper later, they were excited for us and made me feel special. The cake was beautiful and delicious!600

We’ve been customers of Dorothy Ann Bakery for years, so it was an easy choice to use them for our wedding! They are family owned and have the best desserts! We had a donut bar for our wedding dessert and they delivered it and set it up to perfection! It was beautiful and delicious!!

We used Dorothy Ann for our wedding and couldn't have been happier. The tasting process was easy and fun. They were flexible and helped us decide on how many cupcakes to get and how to display them. We ended up with a variety of cupcakes and a small cut cake. Dorothy Ann set the up the day of in a beautiful display. The cupcakes were even better than I remembered and many guests enjoyed more than one! I highly recommend Dorothy Ann for your wedding.

Dorothy Ann Bakery was amazing! I loved the cake they made for our wedding. It was very simple but sweet and the quality of the cake was absolutely delicious! We were also able to taste the different kinds of cake and frosting options they had available and see the different styles of cake they had. For our wedding, we also had some gluten free guests and they were able to make some delicious gluten free cupcakes! They also had a delivery service which relieved the stress of worrying about how to get the cake to the venue without it getting ruined! This was a wonderful bakery to do business with! I would highly recommend to anyone!

My wedding cake from Dorothy Ann’s Bakery was perfect! When we designed my tiered cake I was a little worried that it wouldn’t turn out as I envisioned, but it was even better than I expected when I saw it at the reception! We provided a brooch to be used on the cake and it was returned to us (on the cake) in perfect condition. The flavors were amazing and everyone loved the cake – even the guests who weren’t huge cake lovers tried some and said how much they enjoyed it! On top of it all, the pricing was great for the amount of cake that you get. I would definitely recommend Dorothy Ann’s to any bride getting hitched in the Twin Cities!

I am so pleased with our entire experience with Dorothy Ann! From the time we went in for their open house to the meeting with the consultant, we were 100% satisfied! We did cupcakes for our wedding and they let you do unlimited flavors! Their fees and cupcake prices are way better than the others out there and they tasted amazing! They delivered the cupcakes, set the stand up and decorate it nicely and we were so happy with the way it turned out! We will absolutely be using Dorothy Ann for any of our party needs in the future!

I loved working with Dorothy Ann bakery! My husband and I went to their open house for wedding cakes which was super helpful. When we came back to order our cake, the ordering process was so simple and they accommodated our requests. We received so many compliments on how yummy the cake and cupcakes were! Highly recommend them!
