The best wedding cake I've ever had!

If you've been to Heidelberg Pastry Shoppe you know they are delicious and very affordable. We'd been going for long enough that we'd decided they were our first choice for our wedding cake well before we were engaged. They were easy to work with and our cake was beautiful and delicious. We did a small cake, sheet cake, and their strudel and cookie platters! We knew we'd done well when our planner commented to us that he was so excited we'd picked Heidelberg.

Great Wedding Cakes

Heidelberg Bakery was the perfect choice for our wedding cakes! We went with two small cakes instead of a traditional wedding cake. Wed did on white heart-shaped one that had our initials on it and was absolutely gorgeous. We also had a round grooms cake that was decorated in University of Virginia colors, as we both went to UVA. We got them delivered the same day for $50, which was well worth it. Overall, I highly recommend them, as the process for ordering went super well when we talked to the managers over the phone, and everyone loved the look and taste of the cakes!

Dependable and delicious

Heidelberg created just what I envisioned with this tiered cake and several sheetcakes with buttercream frosting which the catering crew cut and served. My florist added the flowers after Heidelberg had delivered the cake to our wedding venue.

This Cake was the Tops!

We would truly recommend Heidelberg for your wedding cake (and really any other cake) needs! Susie was a joy to work with and made the process easy and enjoyable. The cake was exactly what we discussed and was absolutely delicious. Many guests came up to say that it was the best wedding cake they have ever had. Heidelberg is an Arlington institution--we have already gone back for a birthday cake since our wedding!

An incredible wedding cake for the price

Heidelberg bakery was amazing from start to finish when choosing our wedding cake. Our experience in the shop was very personalized as we were able to try a few cakes in a small setting with their employee, two of our family members, and us. They were knowledgeable and gave great advice without seeming pushy when choosing our wedding flavors and design. The price was reasonable and fair. On our wedding day, the cake arrived flawlessly and was delicious. We will definitely use them again for future events that require any bakery needs.

Delicious cake!

I had my wedding cake made here and it was perfect! The flavors were really nice and cake was delicious! Many guest wanted seconds and to take some home. They did the design I wanted and it was three tiers of real cake for a very good price!

The Best Wedding Cake I've Ever Had

From the get go of starting to plan our wedding, we knew that the food and cake were super important to us. We were not dissapointed! Guests raved about the 3 tiered wedding cake that we had- the unique flavors and setup. They were super accomodating to our requests, even adding a little miniature of our dog to the cake! Guests continually came up to us all night saying that it was the best cake they ever had!

Delicious cake, amazing to work with

My husband and I ordered a spice cake for 100 people for our October wedding, and WOW - it could not have been more delicious. We met with Susie for our tasting, who is incredibly knowledgeable and an absolutely lovely person, and she helped us feel confident in the both the size we ordered and flavor combination we chose (vanilla buttercream, raspberry jam, spice cake - so. good.). Our guests raved about it! We're super excited for our first anniversary just to have some more of this cake!!

Yummy cake - will order again for other events

We had the marble pound cake with chocolate frosting and red velvet with cream cheese filling at our wedding. Both flavors were very good. Cake was delivered on time day of and Susie was helpful throughout the prep stages. We did a small wedding cake and some sheet cakes for the rest of our guests. Everyone enjoyed!
