Best cakes around!

My family has been buying cakes from Once in a Blue Moon Bakery for big events – first communion, milestone birthdays, graduation – since the early 2000s. So it was no question that I would ask them to provide dessert for our wedding! We had delicious cupcakes and a cutting cake, as well as several brownie/bar trays. They were accommodating with vegan and gluten free options, too. We love Blue Moon forever.

Hire them!

Oh my goodness, Once in a Blue Moon provided us the best wedding cake ever!! The cake turned out so beautifully, my husband and I couldn't stop talking about the cake the day after our wedding! They got all the details we wanted perfectly, even modeling our two cats as our cake toppers! Not only was it beautiful, but it was DELICIOUS! I'm so excited to have our one-year anniversary cake with them!!

Beautiful and yummy

We enjoyed that the tasting box was a take-home, so we could decide in the comfort of our own home. Got a chance to speak directly with the owner to discuss vision. Cake was beautiful and exactly as we discussed.

Excellence at every step!

Once In A Blue Moon did an excellent job with our wedding cake! They were so nice and accommodating throughout the entire process, from vision to execution to delivery at our wedding venue. We showed them photos of what we were thinking and they pulled it off wonderfully. I wish I still had the original inspiration photo we showed. We would definitely recommend their wedding cake services and truly can't thank them enough!

Delicious!

We got our wedding cake from Once in A Blue Moon Bakery and it was SO GOOD. I loved their take-home cake testing! You can do it on your own time and all the flavors were amazing. We went with chocolate cake and raspberry filling. The meeting to set up the cake was super easy. They had pictures of different styles they do. Very accommodating and professional. Highly recommend!

Tasty Cake!

Once in a Blue Moon was such an easy bakery to work with and the cake was SO TASTY on wedding night and looked beautiful. We also decided to freeze the top layer and it froze so well - I dug into it yesterday as we just got back from our honeymoon and it is still delicious. I will continue to buy cakes from the bakery and would definitely recommend it to anyone for their wedding.

Once in a Blue Moon made the wedding cake for a wedding I coordinated, and I was very impressed! The delivered a 3 tier cake and a sheet cake, both of which were delicious! They even decorated the 3-tier with leftovers from the florist, and it looked beautiful with the bride's reception theme.
