Delcious Desserts

I have been buying dessert from Scratch for years before my wedding- so it was a no brainer that we would be using them for our wedding. We had three small cakes and 5 types of macarons and they were a huge hit! My only regret is not buying more, we barely had any leftovers!

Incredible Bakery and Wedding Vendor!

We reached out to Scratch to make several mini desserts for our wedding and they did such a great job. They also added on our cake last minute (we were originally going to have a family member make this, but they had to cancel last minute due to health concerns). Molly and her team were efficient and organized and set everything up beautifully. They also were able to provide signs and trays for all of the desserts (included in the setup fee). All of the guests couldn’t stop raving about the desserts! The only feedback I have for them is to consider making a list of the trays/items they need back from the vendor (or family members) who have to return everything) - this would have made the return process easier!

Stunning (and delicious) cake!

We used Scratch for the desserts at our wedding and we were so pleased. Highly recommend!

Molly at Scratch is so communicative, accommodating and kind. She guided me thought the whole process of selecting desserts and deciding what we wanted and how much we needed. We did the take home tasting and were able to try many of their cake and frosting/filling flavors.

We worked with Molly and her team do a variety of mini desserts, as well as a three tier cake. They took my cake ideas and turned them into a reality! It turned out so beautiful! We also rented display items which made set up a breeze. Our caterer, Root Catering, was able to coordinate with them and set up and return all the display items, which was so great!

We were very please and got so many compliments on the desserts. Definitely go with Scratch!

A Must Have

Molly did our cake for our July wedding and we loved it! Scratch catered to the pandemic so we did a great at home tasting and were able to decide our flavors from there. She communicated via email and phone and even delivered the cake herself!
Would absolutely recommend.

It was so tasty and amazing

We truly loved working with Scratch. We had mini cupcakes, two small cakes, and cookies at our wedding. Our guests could not stop talking about how delicious everything was. They were so great to work with and we will definitely be ordering more desserts in the future soon.

Beautiful & Delicious, Very Professional, Well Worth It!

I absolutely love working with Molly and Jen and their team at Scratch Bakeshop. As a wedding planner, it's important to me that I work with other wedding professionals that have integrity, professionalism, and will take care of my clients. Molly and Jen are extremely creative and artistic and amazing at what they do. Their piping and sculpting is flawless and so beautiful. I can always tell when I see a Scratch cake because of their meticulous technique. I recently had the pleasure of working with them on a wedding and, despite all the challenges this pandemic has brought, they were kind, professional, responsive, flexible, and cognizant of keeping everyone safe. The guests absolutely loved their vegan/dairy-free cake (chocolate with blood orange buttercream and almond with raspberry) and their dairy-free brownies and chocolate chip cookies are amazing! We're lucky to have the Scratch team here in Rochester and I look forward to working with them on many more weddings and events. Wedding cake photo by Jenny Berliner. Camping Cake my photo :)

Best cake ever

We had such a great experience working with the Scratch team! Our cake ended up being both absolutely beautiful and incredibly delicious. We loved the variety of flavors that we could choose from. My husband has a gluten sensitivity, so we were able to make the top tier of our cake gluten-free with the rest being regular cake. The owners were very helpful in working with me to design our cake, and also very flexible as we ended up ordering some additional desserts to go with our cake (which were also delicious). I cannot say enough about how gorgeous our cake was AND how great it tasted!

Mucho Delicioso ! A Vegan's Dream.

I knew from the moment we started planning our wedding that I wanted our desserts and wedding cake to come from Scratch Bakeshop. I frequent their bakery often and love the HUGE vegan selection that they offer ! We had a vision of an all vegan dessert display for our wedding and I knew they’d be the one we’d go with. We set up our tasting early on a Sunday morning with Molly. She was such a pleasure to work with during our entire dessert planning process. We had the idea for a vegan mini dessert bar with cookies, mini cheesecakes, cake truffles, doughnuts and of course, our little cutting cake. Molly really helped us nail the right flavors for everything. We also decided to save a bit of money and have our desserts picked up instead of having Scratch drop them off at our venue. This worked out well for us because we didn’t need them set up till later in the day (we had a split wedding day).

On the morning of our wedding, a few of our friends went to scoop them up. When they arrived they said everything was ready on time and the desserts were labeled for the venues convenience. All of our desserts tasted mucho delicioso and looked so beautiful. Including our cute cake that we indulged in the entire week after our wedding, haha.

I can’t say enough good things about working with Scratch for our wedding. Would totally recommend, especially if you’re looking for allllllll of the vegan options and endless flavor combos !!

Gluten Free + Vegan Cupcakes!

We ordered a dozen chocolate raspberry cupcakes for our guests with allergies. They were gluten free and vegan. I had to stop a few of our non-vegan non-celiac's guests from taking them (despite our sign) cause they looked so pretty. Our guests who had them raved how tasty they were. It was straight forward to work with them and my brother picked them up on the day of the wedding. Great all around.
