My husband and I got married in February of 2025 and we were lucky enough to work with JCakes through a winter wedding package at the venue we got married at (The Woodwinds in Branford, CT). The cake tasting was absolutely delightful as was the actual wedding cake itself! We were able to choose three different tier cake and filling options. We chose chocolate cake with chocolate ganache, vanilla cake with fruit filling, and chocolate cake with cream cheese filling. All of the tiers were absolutely incredibly delicious and the cake was almost too beautiful to eat. We chose snowflake piping to fit our winter wedding theme and it was stunning. The bakery made the entire process fun, simple, and the cakes decisions were truly the easiest decisions throughout the wedding process. We highly recommend this bakery!

I 1000% recommend J Cakes!! They made my wedding cake vision come to life. I am obsessed with chocolate cake, and when we asked if they could make my now husband and I a chocolate-on-chocolate wedding cake, they were so excited. The owner was extremely helpful in designing the cake and advising us on how big it should be. Plus, they added on a vanilla sheet cake for all the non-chocolate lovers. The tasting box of cupcakes was so delicious that we couldn’t wait to taste the final product. I was elated to see the cake on our wedding day, and it was even more tasty than I had hoped! From a chocolate cake connoisseur, you HAVE to have J Cakes do your wedding cake if you’re getting married in the area. They knocked it out of the park!!!

I cannot possibly recommend J Cakes highly enough for the wonderful job they did with our wedding cake.

First, Jessie was an absolute delight to work with and was completely down with my rather odd request to make our cake topper an actual tree (our last name is Root… so, um… yeah) using the base that I had started.

The experience she provides her couples is absolutely top notch… from an expansive included tasting and accommodating special flavor combinations during tasting on request to her included 1-year anniversary cake (which she’ll make for you right away or even a year later). We were blown away by her generous portions and affordability.

Next, her cakes… OMG. The cake itself is fantastic - moist and flavorful with one of the best buttercream frostings I’ve ever had. On top of that the fillings are also delicious. I was a little skeptical that a fluffy cream filling would carry enough fruit flavor compared to a jam or compote, but Jessie made a believer out of me. We had chocolate cake for all our tiers and had both raspberry and cookies and cream filling.

Finally, the decoration was perfect. We were using a William Morris tapestry as inspiration for the whole event and Jessie easily incorporated that as a wrap around one tier, deftly piped on roots for our tree topper, and included logos for the Celtics & Bucks (a nod to our first dates and my husband’s favorite sport). We had so many compliments about our cake - both for taste AND looks.

Also, FYI. They do cupcakes with cool special flavors rotating every week and will also do cupcake orders for special events too. We’ve since moved out of Massachusetts, but you can bet that J Cakes will be a go-to stop for me when I’m coming back.
