Dream Wedding Cake

The cake was perfect--tasted amazing, (white w/ raspberry, chocolate/pb, lemon) and looked exactly like we'd imagined.

The service was great too. Maurice made us feel at home with the tasting, and worked with us to get exactly what we needed for the number of guests and desired aesthetic at our price point. Communication was easy, Gold Ribbon Confections arrived exactly when they were asked to and set up the cake very professionally alongside our florist.

We keep going back to order cakes for birthdays, anniversaries, or any time we're in Arlington. Would recommend to anybody looking for a wedding cake in the DFW area.

Incredible

Our wedding cakes were FANTASTIC. Gold Ribbon Confections were so accommodating helping us to stay in budget while also getting both a bride and grooms cake, both of which were beautiful. We asked for the grooms cake to be golf themed and it turned out even better than the inspiration picture I sent. And the wedding cake was so classic and clean, a true beauty. More importantly than looks, they tasted amazing. We had multiple guests come up to us and say that it was the best wedding cake they’ve ever had. They were not wrong. They also were super helpful in letting us rent cake stands and answering any questions that popped up along the way. And when you thought they couldn’t get any better, a portion of every sale goes to help children fighting cancer. PLEASE look no where else.

Excellent quality of service and cake!

Maurice was such a nice person to work with, and we loved his story of how he began this business in honor of his son! My husband and I loved his genuineness. It was the first cake tasting we went to and we knew immediately that this is where we wanted to get our wedding cake from. It was hard to choose from the flavors, bc all of them were so good, but we finally ended up going with the Raspberry Buttercream. I usually don’t like anything that’s raspberry-flavored or anything fruity, but this was so subtle and delicious! We received many compliments from our guests about how good the cake was.
Kylie from the team was very helpful and prompt later on when I needed to communicate changes about the cake delivery times and such, very accommodating! They delivered and set up the cake just as we had discussed. We would definitely recommend Gold Ribbon Confections for your wedding cake or any events you’d need cakes for!

Get the Pecan Pie!

My husband and I got married in April and we used Golden Ribbon. We got the white cake and pecan pies (for our grooms cake.) Everything was delicious and our budget really went a long way. We’d definitely use them in the future.

Beautiful AND Delicious!

From the beginning Maurice was great to work with! We scheduled a tasting and his presentation was very nice. We could really see his passion for the bakery. We gave him our ideas and he delivered above and beyond! Our cakes turned out perfect and they were delicious. Our guests are still talking about how good the cakes and cookies tasted! We will definitely be using them for all of our bakery needs in the future.

Absolutely delicious!

My husband and I got married last summer, and Maurice did our cake, cupcakes, and gluten-free pie. Everything was delicious. I wish I ordered extras, so I would have had some leftovers! Maurice even customized our fourth cupcake flavor! My husband and I both really like the combination of chocolate and cinnamon, and the chocolate cinnamon cupcake we had at our wedding was the best cake I ever ate. SO GOOD! I definitely recommend. The desserts are delicious, and he supports local charities, too!

Incredible, amazing, perfection!

My husband and I love family business, kindness, and meaning! If you want a cake full of love from a business that stands for so much greatness along with desserts created and tailored perfectly for you! Please support them! Our little dessert bar was a HIT. They were gone SO FAST... and so was the cake! Just perfection.

Can't recommend Gold Ribbon Confections enough!

We are so elated that we came across Gold Ribbon Confections in our hunt for a wedding cake. Maurice was so kind and helpful is creating and assisting us on a cake we wanted. We had requested a funfetti flavor which may not be the form for a wedding cake but he knocked it out of the park and was such a pleasure to work with. We cannot thank him enough and his story and message is so special. Thank you so much!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
