    Beautiful and delicious!

    Peter, the owner, is a highly skilled baker and has hundreds (maybe thousands) of examples of cakes he has made, every one a masterpiece. We tried a few different flavors and had a difficult time choosing! We went with a three-tier cake that had raspberry amaretto, chocolate, and strawberry cream. We showed Peter a photo of a cake we liked, and the end result looked so perfect! Everyone kept saying how good it was, and most of the guests tried more than one flavor. Peter was even kind enough to leave a box for the caterers to pack up the leftovers!

    We could not have been happier about our cake! Peter was incredible from the first meeting to the final product itself. His demeanor was positive, encouraging, and helpful. He showed us some of his work, asked what we were thinking about doing, then designed our wedding cake and groom's cake. The tasting, of course, had already sold us. His work is not just beautiful but absolutely delicious! On our cake we wanted a ribbon of icing trimming each layer. He took a sample of our wedding color and matched it perfectly. The guests have not stopped raving about how incredible the cake was. I would go back to Peter and use him for any cake needs in the future!

    Alphorn Bakery did an amazing job with our wedding cake. We ordered a pretty large wedding cake with 5 tiers and flowers separating each tier. Peter, the owner, did an amazing job on delivering exactly what we wanted. From our very first cake consultation with Peter we found him to be one of the sweetest vendors we worked with. We didn't know exactly how we wanted the cake to look but Peter gave us some great ideas and made the cake look better than we imagined. We enjoyed tasting many of his cake flavors and ended up choosing 4 different flavors for our cake because we couldn't decide on a favorite. We changed our flavors several times and came in to the bakery for several different cake tastings and the bakery always made time to meet with us and provide us with samples at no additional cost. Alphorn Bakery's pricing is very reasonable compared to other bakeries in the area and the taste is absolutely delicious! Unfortunately, on our wedding day our caterer's servers failed to serve cake to all of our guests including the bridal party and me and the groom. The small piece of cake that we did get to taste during the cake cutting was extremely moist and delicious though and a few guests that did get to taste the cake said it was the best wedding cake they had ever had. We will definitely be coming back to Alphorn Bakery for any other cakes we need in the future.

    Alphorn Bakery did such an amazing job on our wedding cake and groom's cake! From the cake tasting to the wedding day they provided excellent service and were always responsive to any questions we had. To decide our cake designs, we just emailed them pictures of cakes we found online. They made our cakes look just like those pictures but better. We got tons of compliments on the taste of the cakes and the design. They are VERY reasonably priced compared to many other cake vendors in Houston and are so friendly and easy to work with.

    We hired Alphorn Bakery after meeting with about 5 vendors who wanted to charge 2k plus for their cakes. We found them luckily since they were inside of the loop. We had a cake tasting and showed them designs of the cakes we wanted and gave us an amazing price….a forth of what other people were charging. Our cakes were made exactly the way we wanted….I wanted a cake shaped like a Longhorn and they didn’t disappoint. We were able to see the cakes the day before and verified it was right. On the day of the wedding, the cakes were one of the first things to be delivered and they were able to add on the flowers and our cake topper. People devoured the cakes…luckily we had a taste! I would recommend them…you get the highest quality cakes and not for an arm and a leg.

    Alphorn did a wonderful job with my wedding cake. Peter Hobi is really warm person. He asked me what I wanted my cake to look like and made the cake just like I envisioned on my big day. The cake was light and moist and all the guests loved it. He has a wide range of flavours to choose from and they are all amazing. Very professional and good value for money. Would recommend using him for your big day!

    Peter was so kind and patient with the changes we made. The cake was made exactly to our final specifications and looked fantastic. It was delivered punctually, set up professionally and was lip-smackingly good. We ordered the Italian cream and Raspberry cream filling and both were delicious. The cake was soft, moist and the guests all loved it. Would definitely order again. However only cash accepted as payment - no cards.

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Alphorn Bakery. They made our wedding cake, and it was absolutely delicious! They delivered it perfectly without any oversight on the wedding day. We had the Italian, Coconut, and Chocolate flavors in our cake (we forewent a groom's cake and just made one tier of our wedding cake chocolate). These were absolutely delicious flavors! Moreover, the bakery changed their recipe to accommodate our dietary restrictions (no gelatin or alcohol). Peter is an absolute delight to work with. I was surprised that they were the most affordable quote that we got ($4/person for buttercream or $5/person for fondant) because the quality was superb. The exterior designs were also top quality. Overall fantastic! Highly, highly recommend!!

    We are so glad that we went with Alphorn Bakery for our wedding cakes. Meeting with Peter was the main reason we chose his company. He was the nicest, most sincere person and he never tried to nickel and dime you. Your money will go a long ways with Alphorn. He is fair which is the best part. They worked with us to find the perfect design wedding and grooms cake. Communication with them was very easy and responsive. It really seemed as they worked for us rather than some of these other companies where you feel you are on their time. I couldn't recommend Alphorn Bakery enough and will return for any other cake needs.

    The only thing you need to know about Alphorn: everybody will LOVE the cake! Peter Hobi, the owner, is very nice and a pleasure to work with. He meets with you personally for the tasting and makes sure he understands exactly what you want for your cakes. Alphorn's prices and quality simply can't be beat!

    Christmas pasteries, cookies, etc., decorative etibles were the best anyone has ever tasted. Peter Hobi and Staff are truly spectacular and will make any bride or party planner's wishes come true. Thankful to have found this place and will recommend them to everyone we know. THANK YOU, Alphorn Bakery, for making our special event so memorable by providing such wonderful sweet treats!

    Peter from Alphorn Bakery was such a pleasure to work with. He provided our wedding cake as well as pastries for our dessert table. Both were so delicious! His wedding cake is so moist and the icing is just the right amount of sweetness... put together it's pure perfection! We loved Alphorn bakery and will continue to use them for future events.

    Did an amazing job. The cakes were good. Not overly sweet and had the right texture and moistness for a big cake. We opted for a full fondant cake and it was very delicious. The fondant gave the cake a chewy sugary feel but wow it made a big difference in the way the cake tasted. They were very easy to work with and were capable in doing anything you can imagine for a cake. Their prices were very fair and reasonable. They didn't play any games by loading the price on the grooms cake. Great people. After two weeks we are still enjoying the moist delicious cake.

    Alphorn Bakery was great! In one visit, I was able to do a cake tasting, finalize my cake design and sign the required paperwork. The cake arrived on time, tasted great and looked exactly how we discussed. Plus, this vendor has by far the best price we were able to find in town.

    Working with Peter and his team at Alphorn Bakery could not have been easier. My husband and I met with him twice to go over our vision and options for our wedding and groom's cakes, and we were blown away by the beautiful creations they have put forth for other weddings after the first meeting. Peter is incredibly talented, and his cakes were some of the best I have EVER tasted. Choosing a flavor (or three) was almost impossible, but to help us narrow it down, he offered to let us swing by to pick up more cake between our meetings, which made it very convenient for my husband and I to fit everything in between our busy schedules. When we showed up to our wedding venue and finally got a peek at our cakes (one of which was designed to look like my husband's race car), we were so happy. They got every detail right, down to the logos on the car! On top of everything else, we were able to work with him on our budget. I promise that I've seen more expensive cakes that didn't look or taste half as good as ours. Don't let the modest storefront fool you - Alphorn Bakery is the best in the biz!

    Peter and his crew of bakers made our wedding cake and my grooms cake. You know how everyone says you wont have a chance to even sit down the night of you wedding... much less get a bite of your cake... Will... our wedding day priorities of changed the day we went to taste test cake a few months prior to the wedding. At that moment when Lilian and I bit into the samples of cake he had for us we turn to each other with this goofy looking smile and said... THAT'S GOOD!!! Make you life easier and schedule a visit to meet with him. He is an Artist of cake and a provider of deliciousness!


    PS Check out our photographers blog here (http://www.thesilhouettestudioblog.com/2012/08/houston-wedding-photographer-alberto.html) where you can get a glimpse of the cake be for we devoured it.

    He was incredible! So sweet and helpful and patient. He even let us pick 4 flavors for the cake, because we couldn't decide! Loved him!

    Will go back to him for every cake I need!

    I LOVED our cake! When I went for my consultation they were super nice and pretty much nailed what I wanted. The ribbon color was a little off but it didn't bother me because the cake was so DELICIOUS that it didn't matter!
