Please check out our new website www.tiotc.com
We have been in business for 33 years!!! We are the original Boston "Ace of Cakes" and "Cake Boss" When we started, there were no bakeries specializing in just cake. The Icing on the Cake was way ahead of it's time!!! Look at all the cake shows on T.V now.

We make amazing cakes that look great and taste even better.
We offer the personalized service you deserve.
We make wonderful buttercream and avoid using rolled fondant.....it's hard to cut and does not taste that great.

Come see what has made us best in Boston!!!!

Beautiful Wedding Cake

Paula at Icing on the Cake was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. We loved the tasting experience and the entire design process — Paula made everything fun, easy, and collaborative while helping us create a cake that felt perfect for our wedding. She was thoughtful and professional in accommodating some severe nut allergies, which gave us complete peace of mind. Most importantly, the cake was absolutely delicious and beautifully designed. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how good it was. We’re so grateful for Paula’s creativity, care, and expertise, and we highly recommend Icing on the Cake to any couple looking for a stunning (and delicious!) wedding cake.

Delicious & gorgeous

Absolutely spectacular. We ordered a cake for our wedding and it looked exactly as we had imagined and tasted even better. Paula and the team did a phenomenal job in making sure we were happy with our order. The flavor is amazing, and I know this is where I'll go for any occasion.

Beautiful and Tasty

The cake was beyond beautiful. We did a small ceremony cake and then had more cake in the back to cut down on costs. But everyone commented on how beautiful our cake was. It was also very delicious (we did 2 different flavors) and there were almost no leftovers. We had to have our caterer set some aside for us to make sure we got to eat it.

Beautiful custom wedding cake!

I would highly recommend The Icing on the Cake to anyone looking for a wedding cake in the Boston area! First of all, cake tasting at the bakery in Newton with Paula was definitely one of the most fun moments of wedding planning. We felt like we were in good hands with Paula and she helped us come up with a design that was perfect for us (even included an outline of the Boston skyline on the top tier!) and matched the icing flowers on the cake to the colors of our florals. The cake was absolutely delicious and one of my favorite memories from the wedding reception. We found the bakery through our hotel and I'm so glad we did! I'd definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a gorgeous cake that also tastes amazing!

Outstanding

We had tried one other bakery, and had a much more impersonal experience, which led us to choosing the Icing on the Cake -- we are so happy with this decision! Paula was so sweet and easy to work with from start to finish! We sat down with her for an hour long complimentary tasting, and she was so helpful with her recommendations regarding flavor, decor, and budget. We had a vague idea of the design we wanted and with just a few questions, she understood right away what we were going for. For our budget, Paula recommended a two tier cake and a separate round cake for cutting, which was very affordable. Delivery was very easy and a nominal fee. The cakes themselves itself were delicious, fresh, and light. The have a great promotion and will provide you a free anniversary cake if you give them a printed, professional photo of the cake at your wedding. We are overall so happy we worked with them for our wedding, and so grateful for how easy Paula made this part of wedding planning!

The best combination: Beautiful AND delicious!

Our stylish and delicious cake was a big hit, even for people who don’t usually eat wedding cake! Our experience at Icing on the Cake was extremely simple. Paula has been in the industry for decades and her experience was made clear by the clarity she provided in the course of our decision process. At our tasting, we sampled a wide variety of flavors and reviewed hundreds of photos of past cakes seeking inspiration. We elected for a three-tier cake with a different flavor for each tier, complete with a fondant outline of the Boston skyline. Very happy with the results, and walked away with beautiful photos!

Beautiful Wedding Cake!

We worked with Paula to design our wedding cake. Not only was the cake delicious, she was able to recreate our inspiration image to a “T”! We had our florist add real flowers. So happy with how it turned out- everyone raved about how delicious that cake was. Couldn’t have asked for more!
