Ambrosia tastes delicious and was beautifully presented!

We got our wedding cake and grooms cake from Ambrosia. Both looked perfect!! My husband had a tennis themed cupcake cake and I had a traditional wedding cake. Everyone loved both!! Thank you Ambrosia for being a part of our special day :)

Beautiful Work

I am pleased with our three tier cake and the groom’s football jersey cake. They met my expectations and it was absolutely delicious, fresh, and moist. The filling which was strawberry cheesecake was amazing.

The staff was very nice and very professional. I was totally clueless as far as what I wanted. The owner drew a cake for me. I was not only shocked but very pleased. My cake was simple and I absolutely loved it. The cake looked exactly like the drawing. It taste great and my guest absolutely loved it. I used the turtle filing for the whole cake.

Ambrosia Bakery were amazing to work with. Yvette was very responsive and quick to get back to you if you had any questions. They were also so accommodating in terms of moving around delivery times. Even having already scheduled delivery times of our cake and other cakes the same day, they were still able to move times around when I wasn't sure which would be best due to having an outdoor wedding. Both the wedding cake and grooms cake looked phenomenal and tasted amazing!! You didn't have to worry about people not eating the cake. The grooms cake came out just like the picture I sent them! Everyone loved it and the groom was surprised as well! Ambrosia was great to work with and I would highly recommend them! Especially the chocolate cake with turtle filling.. sooo delicious! :)

My new husband and I are very happy with choosing The Ambrosia Bakery. The cakes were beautiful. They did a really good job on my husbands Chicago theme cake. All of our guest raved about the how good the cakes tasted. They were asking for more. Some guest asked if they ship cake to IL. We found them well priced and very professional as they worked with me via email because I live in IL. We had a three-tier cake and each tier was a different type of cake. I would definitely recommend them for all cakes, wedding, birthday, a random day. Their cakes are amazing!!!

I was planning my wedding in Louisiana from Los Angeles and working with Yvette was a dream! Most of our communication was via email (which I prefer) but she was available to chat over the phone as needed. I was late in ordering my cake (a few weeks before my wedding) and this wasn't a problem at all! Most wedding cakes aren't that great, but this one was delicious! People were raving over it!
