The best!!

For our wedding we chose to do cupcake towers for each table and a cutting cake for us. Every guest raved about the cupcakes, they truly were amazing. The bakery was so flexible when I realized I needed to double the amout of cupcakes 2 months before. We highly recommend My Friend's Bakery and will be ordering from them when we celebrate our one year anniversary ❤️

Thank you Lara!!

We loved working with Lara for our wedding in June! We couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful and delicious wedding cake. We really enjoyed the tasting experience and were able to pick our three favorite flavor combinations for our main cake and two sheet cakes. We’d highly recommend Lara and her team!

Highly recommend!

Lara was so wonderful to work with! From the moment we did our cake tasting I knew it was the one! This is by far the best wedding cake I’ve ever tasted! She was able to accommodate 3 flavors (pumpkin with cream cheese frosting, chocolate with raspberry buttercream and vanilla with salted caramel buttercream!!!! 😋 they were all so delicious! We loved it so much that we are contemplating making the trip to NH for our favorite flavor for our anniversary next year!

Beautiful and delicious cake, great communication and easy to work with.

Lara was wonderful to work with for our wedding cake. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. We had a tasting with her and went over the vision of our cake. Her cakes and flavors are absolutely delicious! She created a beautiful cake that was exactly how we pictured it. Our guests raved about the flavors of our cake, and several went back for a second slice. Her delivery was on-time and we were able to rent a cake stand from her for a good price. Overall we highly recommend My Friend’s Bakery!

Dream Wedding Cake!

My friends bakery has done a lot of occasions for my family, including 3 wedding and 2 birthdays. She took our vision for our wedding cake and display and brought it to life. Not only was it picture perfect but the taste was out of this world. People still rave about how good our cup cakes were and we got married a few months ago!

Donut Dream Cake!

Lara is an absolute maestro when it comes to baking! She flawlessly executed our vision, leaving no donut uneaten at our event—all while making everything dairy-free and incredibly delicious. Her tasting session wowed us, and I'd rebook her in a heartbeat for her scrumptious desserts. Lara's talent and dedication make her an unbeatable choice for anyone seeking delightful, flawlessly executed treats. Thank you, Lara, for making our event a sweet success!
