About

Granny Schmidt’s bakery opened in September 2006 to bring best-in-class bakery products to customers who enjoy the marriage of high style and century-old goodness.

We don’t produce cakes by adding flavorings to factory supplied base mixes. We make every cake from scratch, often one at a time, using nothing you wouldn’t have found at the corner grocery a hundred years ago.

We bake our wedding cakes using the exact same recipes we use for our specialty and custom cakes.

Granny Schmidt's was such a pleasure to work with. They made it super easy because they contacted the hotel and coordinated everything! The only thing we had to do was pick out the cake flavors really, which was so tough because everything tasted incredible! The cake was ABSOLUTELY stunning, she coordinated with the florist even so we didn't have to be the liason. Everything from start to finish was perfection! We CANNOT wait til our 1 y ear anniversary so we can taste the cake again- it just melted in your mouth! Everyone commented on how delicious and beautifully presented it was!

Our wedding cake was absolutely amazing! Not only was it beautiful, but it was delicious as well! Granny Schmidt's did such a great job with our request to have a cheesecake wedding cake and did exactly what we wanted for the design of it. We could not be more pleased with it! We also ordered cheesecakes for our guests and they were just as delicious and amazing! They put a lot of great work into our cakes and it was all done from scratch! They tasted fresh and they just went over the top for our wedding to make it so special for us! Thank you so much!

My husband and I went to several bakeries in the area trying to find a bakery that baked a wedding cake that actually tasted good, like a homemade cake and not something bland or gross. Most bakeries had mediocre cakes with cheap frosting. Granny Schmidt's by far had the best cake around, it actually tasted good unlike most wedding cakes I've had at other weddings. I kid you not, on our honeymoon my husband actually said at one point "I wish I still had our wedding cake to eat", it was that good.

Granny Schmidt's Bakery is fabulous! Michelle Quier and Melissa Miller are a great team and resource. I shared some ideas for a cake for my son's birthday party. They asked some simple questions, clarified details and went to work. The theme for the party was space. The cake was fabulous! My son was very pleased and he loved the fondant. The spaceship, stars and rocket ship were made out of fondant. I would highly recommend Granny Schmidt's for any of your specialized cake needs, as well as for their weekly cupcake offerings!

We ordered our wedding cake from Michelle and her team and we could not be happier! Michelle created a simple and elegant ivory cake for us. Our guests raved about the chocolate cake with peanut butter icing. Granny Schmidt's was accommodating, creative and listened to what we were looking for. We highly recommend this vendor for anyone getting married in the area!

Our wedding cake was (and still is one week later) DELICIOUS!

Michelle, the owner at Granny Schmidt's takes so much pride in her creations which made me feel so great after our first meeting. She was honest and candid when we asked her opinion about things, which I really appreciated.

We had 100 guests and ordered a three tier cake along with a kitchen cake. To be honest, we probably didn't need the second cake but I can't complain about the leftovers!

We ordered chocolate and vanilla cake with a buttercream filling as well as a chocolate and vanilla cake with raspberry mousse filling. Michelle recommended that we go with a buttercream frosting instead of fondant... I was hesitant at first but she was able to execute the design that I wanted with the tasty buttercream instead of using the not so tasty fondant. The icing was delicious, it almost reminded me a little bit of eating a marshmallow... soo good! The raspberry mousse was also out of this world!

The cakes both exceeded our expectations and we would definitely recommend Granny Schmidt's to anyone who wants a top quality cake with all of the best ingredients, no preservatives and absolutely awesome texture and taste. Michelle is a pro and makes the selection process a breeze from start to finish.

Our wedding cake was absolutely beautiful from Granny Schmidts. Our whole experience with Granny Schmidts was probably the best out of any of our vendors. She was on top of every detail from the very first meeting. We tasted and picked the details for our cake months ahead of time. About a month before the wedding Michelle called to verify all of the details. This was the first vendor to call us before us having to contact them. It was such a nice change! The day of the wedding the cake was delivered without any problems. It was so seamless I actually didn't know the cake had been delivered! I remember walking into our venue and seeing our beautiful cake all set up. It was absolutely beautiful and of course tasted just as good. We've already gone back to Granny Schmidts since my husband and I didn't get a chance to eat a piece of our cake. She made us a smaller version of our wedding cake and it was absolutely delicious (and beautiful)! We will definitely be going back to Granny Schmidts for our cakes in the future!

Granny Schmidt's Bake Shop is fabulous! Michelle and Melissa offer clients quality service, creative designs and fabulous taste. Michelle is a great resource for couples and other wedding professionals. She offers couples ideas and is a great listener. Their cannoli cake is fabulous! I have seen so many of their designs at weddings throughout the Greater Lehigh Valley and know the consistency of taste and design flair.
