    Delicious and beautiful display

    We had a great experience with Mandy from 50/fifty! We did not do a tasting prior to our wedding, which I was admittedly a little nervous about and I had only ever communicated with Mandy via email (where she was always professional and responsive). I was so excited to get to the reception and see the cutest mini-dessert display and the perfect small cake for cutting - it was exactly what I had imagined!! The cake was perfect and exactly what I had communicated with her! Everything was delicious and her advice about how many mini desserts was spot-on!! My personal favorite was the pumpkin mini cupcake with cream cheese frosting, it was the perfect addition for a fall wedding. Overall it was a wonderful, stress-free experience!

    Knew at the tasting this would be it!

    50/fifty was a fantastic choice as our dessert vendor for our wedding. They were very responsive from the start and worked with us to be able to try everything that we needed while we were in town. They made it all easy and that's not even getting to the main point. EVERYTHING we had from them was delicious. The tasting stood out from all others because each thing was so so good that it made deciding what to get difficult. We ended up doing a small cake for ourselves and a small desserts table. The cake looked great and tasted even better. The small desserts were also fantastic, but none of that was a surprise after the tasting. I had so much trust in them after the tasting that I even added a different kind of dessert that we had not tried to our final order... and of course, it was spectacular. They do it right! don't hesitate.

    We loved 50/Fifty!

    I got married in August 2023, and I am so happy that I worked with Mandy and 50/Fifty for our desserts! Not only did Mandy make the best treats (seriously, we got so many compliments from our guests about how yummy the desserts were), but she was able to accommodate my gluten allergy and make everything gluten-free and taste absolutely delicious! 50/Fifty also has so many delicious options to choose from, and even goes above and beyond to make your dessert table look fantastic. I really appreciate how Mandy brought her own dessert labels so I didn’t have to make them myself! Overall, I had the best experience working with Mandy and her team, and I truly can’t recommend Mandy and 50/Fifty enough if you’re looking for an absolutely incredible bakery in the Asheville, NC area!

    Wedding Cake

    We loved our wedding cake and thought it both looked amazing and tasted great! We even were able to do custom flavors like elderflower icing! We would absolutely recommend 50/fifty to other wedding couples!

    Fantastic desserts

    We opted for a table of mini desserts instead of a wedding cake and after searching for a baker who would be willing to take that on I found Mandy at 50/Fifty and I'm SO glad I did! The variety of desserts she offered was so much broader than anything else I had found, and each one was truly delicious. She was lovely to communicate with and everything was very organized and clear, the whole process was excellent. Our guests loved all the desserts, but the macaroons and the mini banana puddings were the big hits! I would highly recommend hiring Mandy for your wedding sweets.

    Delicious & Beautiful Wedding Cake!

    We ordered a one-tier dairy-free and gluten-free cake for our wedding. It was absolutely delicious! Mandy was easy to work with and accommodating to our dietary restrictions. I would highly recommend 50/Fifty for your cake & dessert needs! :)

    Delicious desserts

    The desserts were phenomenal! Everyone at the wedding was raving about them and said they were amazing. We had a dessert bar and there were none left by the end of the night. She also made a small cutting wedding cake and we absolutely loved it. She was very helpful in offering suggestions and made an impressive to go tasting box full of samples based on our interests. I highly recommend using 50 fifty for all of your dessert needs.

    Perfect End to Dinner

    My daughter and her fiancé chose to have a variety of hand held desserts for their wedding. Mandy provided a variety of heart shaped pies, cookies, macaroons, brownies, fruit tarts, and bars that were incredibly delicious. Everyone raved about the desserts. Thank you!

    Incredible wedding cake!!

    50/Fifty made our three-tiered wedding cake this past weekend, along with sheet cakes to cut and serve to all of our guests. Due to the pandemic and me and my husband living 6 hours from our venue/vendors, we were not going to be able to make a trip to the area for a cake tasting. This was no problem for Mandy, who boxed up all of our chosen cakes/fillings/icings in dry ice and ice packs, and overnighted it to us to do an at-home tasting! From the start she was so professional and easy to work with, and her cakes were absolutely DELICIOUS. I wish I had more leftovers, but all of our guests enjoyed it way too much! :D Thank you 50/Fifty!!

    Irresistible and beautiful wedding desserts!

    Mandy and 50/Fifty created the most delicious desserts for our wedding! Our tasting session to decide on desserts was a highlight of the wedding planning process (honestly, Mandy brought to-go containers treats we didn't finish, but they were so good we finished them all). 50/Fifty offered many options to choose from, and we and our guests loved each selection. Many was great to work with, and we heartily recommend her!

    Done exactly the way you want it

    Mandy was our selection after at least 6 tastings for our daughter's October wedding. The couple wanted a combination of desserts, not just a beautiful wedding cake. From macaroons and pop tarts to mini cheesecakes and pies, the desserts were devoured and guests commented on the great variety of tastes. Groom wanted funfetti; bride wanted almond. Both got what they wanted with the best raspberry filling and buttercream frosting ever! Her displays fit the venue perfectly and she delivered everything promised! I highly recommend this terrific baker!

    Delicious flavors and BEAUTIFUL presentation

    I can't recommend 50/fifty enough! Mandy was so sweet and accommodating- she let us have 2 different tastings when we decided to do a cake as well as a dessert bar. All of the sweets were delicious and we had a beautiful assortment of goodies at the wedding. She also designed a gorgeous wedding cake that tasted just as good as it looked!

    Do yourself a favor and book 50/Fifty for your wedding!

    Amazing flavor options, wonderful quality and presentation, super kind and professional - I’d give them a million stars if I could.

    For our wedding cake, we did one tier of lavender cake with lemon curd and cream cheese frosting and then another tier of lemon cake with strawberry buttercream + cream cheese frosting. Both tiers were an absolute hit!

    50/Fifty's reply:

    Haley, thank you very much for your kind words! We enjoyed working with you and creating your wedding cake and your anniversary cake too! Best wishes for many many more years of happiness!!

    Amazing Desserts - Perfect for Vegan Options!

    Mandy outdid herself!! We asked for a vegan cake (almond cake with strawberry/cream cheese filling and lavender cake with lemon curd filling) and some mini-desserts (way more than is recommended for our guest count haha), and it was all GONE at the end!! She even made a box of mini desserts for us for my brother's proposal weekend. Everything was incredibly affordable and so delicious. I recommend them for all desserts, but ESPECIALLY if you are looking for vegan options.

    beautiful and delish!

    We're so happy we went with 50/Fifty for our wedding cake! From the start, Mandy was incredible to work with - made the whole process so easy and was so friendly and responsive. She has amazing options on her menu and we loved getting to sample them at our tasting. We ended up going with a 3-tier cake with 3 different flavors - champagne cake with strawberry compote filling, lavender cake with blackberry compote filling and strawberry cake with lemon curd filling. We also got to keep the top tier to keep in the freezer and save for our one year anniversary - complimentary! We definitely recommend going with Mandy for your cake :) you will not be disappointed!

    Sumptuous Desserts!

    Mandy and her team at 50 / Fifty provided our daughter’s wedding at Willow Falls, Hendersonville, with beautifully crafted, sumptuous desserts! An absolutely delicious semi-naked 2-tier cake (Chocolate and Almond cake layers, with Strawberry Buttercream, German Chocolate Frosting, and Chocolate Ganache), luscious banana puddings, and mini tarts: strawberry rhubarb and lemon curd, with fresh fruit toppings. Beyond delicious! Thank you, Mandy for helping to make this such as special day!

    Something to write home about!

    I cannot recommend 50 / Fifty enough! I worked with Mandy who was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process; we decided to go with mini desserts and a small cutting cake for our wedding at Highland Brewing in Asheville, NC in May of 2021.

    Since we don't live in Asheville, I was a little hesitant to pick out desserts without tasting them first, but in hindsight I don't think we could have gone wrong. We went with an assortment of bars, macaroons, mini cupcakes, and tarts... everything was so delicious and beautifully arranged!

    They were a huge hit with our guests, so much that people started crowding the dessert table before the "official" dessert time, and our wedding cake was possibly one of the best pieces of carrot cake I've ever had! A big THANK YOU to Mandy and the team at 50/Fifty for giving our guests something to rave about!

    50/Fifty's reply:

    Thank you very much Alison for your kinds words! You were a pleasure to work with!!! My favorite was the little dog cake topper sneaking some of that cake! :) Wishing the both of you the best on all of your new adventures to come!!

    Yummy cake!

    50/fifty was a pleasure to work with! We had a lot of funny with our tasting as we got to completely create the cake we wanted. It was fun to see our cake vision come to life on our big day. The cake tasted amazing and was designed so well. Would highly recommend!

    50/Fifty's reply:

    Thank you very much for your kind words, Emma!! It was a pleasure working with the both of you!! And we had a great time creating your cake. Best wishes to you!!!

    Excellent Service

    As my mother and I (Bride) were looking for wedding dessert options, Mandy (owner) had posted on her instagram beautiful and impressive wedding cakes that we thought looked amazing. We decided to scheudle an initial tasting. Mandy was clear, direct and detailed in what cake, filling, and icing flavors were available as we chose the limited amount for the initial consultation. When my mom and I arrived at the tasting, Mandy had already neatly placed our requested flavors (cake, filling, etc) on the table and all her other offered flavors. We had a great conversation with her as we discussed cake sizes, pricing, and flavor combinations. She was so kind and thoughtful!

    We decided on almond cake with nutella whipped filling, and lemon cake with raspberry whipped filling (which I still dream about). Mandy was responsive and organized with the billing, my vision for the wedding cake design and my guests LOVED the flavors!!

    If you want a professional, bubbly, detailed, and organized cake vendor, Mandy is your lady!!!

    50/Fifty's reply:

    Thank you very much for your kind words. We really appreciate it! And it was a pleasure working with you as well!! Your wedding was gorgeous, the part that I saw setting up your cake :). Wishing you both the best!!
    Thank you,
    Mandy

    We were so lucky to have found Mandy and we would recommend her to anyone!

    Mandy was incredible! From our first meeting, I knew she was going to be extremely helpful. She messaged me back almost immediately and helped us schedule a tasting really quickly. She was one of the first vendors we booked and she was extremely flexible with our change in guest count due to Covid. She answered all our questions promptly and gave us detailed answers every time! We had a small cake and mini desserts that Mandy recommended and they were delicious! We were so lucky to have found Mandy and we would recommend her to anyone!

    Delicious and beautiful!

    50/Fifty came highly recommended by our wedding planner and venue and we are so happy and thankful that we trusted them to lead us in the right direction when it came to dessert! Mandy was very responsive to our emails and questions about flavor combinations. 50/Fifty also makes gluten free cake, a huge plus for us to make sure that the FOB could enjoy cake! The cake and cupcakes were beautiful and so delicious! If we lived closer we would use Mandy and her team to celebrate every occasion! Thank you for being part of our day and making it delicious!
