Amazing Food and Amazing Staff

One of the most raved about things at our wedding was the food! We did stations - salad, sliders, and sides and it was an absolute hit! There was not a single bad option on the buffet. The huge plus was the staff. They were SO accommodating and never let my husband, or I go without food or a drink. They were always asking if we needed anything or if there was anything they could get us. They truly were an all-around amazing vendor.

Fabulous cake and experience!

Meghan did an absolutely amazing job with our cake. We had a great discussion over options for each tier, and wound up going in an unexpected direction. The cake itself looked fantastic and we got a ton of raves--and were happy that the venue put aside some of each tier for us, so we could try some after the wedding! There was not much cake left over, despite having fewer guests than initially expected.

Perfectly tasty

So if you want to have leftover dessert to take home after the wedding, dont hire Meghan because that will not be thing. I really struggled with finding a baker because I had little interest in cake or cupcakes, so finding Sweet & Savory Bake Shop felt like a sign. The variety Meghan offers is some of the best in the area. We went with the fruit tarts, 2 flavors of cheesecake bites, and 2 pies for a dessert table spread, plus a small cake for cutting but she offers so much more than that! Everything was ridiculously delicious! My guests loved the cheesecake bites in particular, but literally the only thing I was able to take home was our wedding cake and a small box of tarts. Everything else was devoured! The cake was moist and my icing picky husband loved it! At the tasting everything tasted fresh and authentic. Meghan was so easy to work with, and a steady presence as I navigated postponing our wedding. She was flexible and very reassuring! If you want a dessert spread that your guests will remember pick this bake shop!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Meghan is fantastic. She's so fantastic, in fact, that I had her make the cake for my own wedding! She listens to what you want and it's delicious.
