Lovely Bakery with Great Flavours and Pricing

Ordered our wedding cake from here and loved it. I actually grew up down the block from this bakery, and would go there as a kid with my parents, so it felt particularly sentimental. The cake was delicious, the tasting process was seamless and enjoyable, the person we worked with was friendly and helpful, and nothing felt overdone or overpriced. They were especially helpful in working with our budget, and suggested a display cake and a sheet cake so that we'd have a beautiful cake but would be able to serve everyone.

The display cake was beautiful and exactly what we asked for—we actually found one on their instagram that we liked, but I wanted different colours. I went in and recoloured it in Photoshop, and they recreated it exactly as we'd hoped. They were also pretty good about working with allergens—the groom has a fatal allergy to tree nuts and peanuts, so we were very cautious about where we got the cake from. His allergy is bad enough that we didn't want to risk a cross contamination induced ER trip in the middle of our reception, so he did end up with a separate groom's cake (since Ladybird Bakery does have nuts in the kitchen, although they took precautions and prepared our cake separately) but we felt confident enough about the safety to have it at the wedding and to have our guests eating it. Ultimately the groom tried it the next day and was fine. I highly recommend this bakery and I'm so glad they're still around!

Beautiful and Delicious

The best cake you’ll ever have. I’m not exaggerating. I eat a lot of cake. I know good cake. This was exceptional. My husband and I tried all the so called “top bakeries” in the city. None of them compared to Lucky Bird. After our tasting I emailed Amy (the owner) to tell her this and was counting down the days to our wedding to have more of it! We went with the two tier almond cake. Not only was it beautiful to look at. It was delicious! We had so many guests ask for the name of the bakery. When we saw our family during the holidays they were still raving about it. Don’t even hesitate to get your wedding cake from Luckybird. The only problem is you’ll be looking for excuses after your wedding to order another! Also, communication was great and so was effortless delivery on their part.

The tastiest wedding cake ever

As big fans of Ladybird Bakery's Brooklyn Blackout cake, we knew it was a no brainer that our wedding cake had to come from here. Melanie was very accommodating and easy to work with, and helped make recommendations on portions for our guests. We ended up going with a completely different cake thanks to the fun tasting session, where we got to try all the different cake, filling and frosting variations. We had SO many guests rave to us about our cake during and after our wedding – people went back for multiple servings, and many told us it was exceptionally delicious. We're so happy with the way it turned out!
