Loved our wedding cake!

They made a beautiful wedding cake for us, exactly how we wanted it, and the ordering and pickup process was very smooth. I also appreciated getting to do a taste test (they gave a generous amount that I could bring home for my family to taste as well). Would definitely recommend!

Delicious Wedding Cake!

Not only was our wedding cake delicious, it was absolutely beautiful! We chose to go with simple all-white cake with small white details and they executed it perfectly. Thank you!

Most beautiful cake

The cake was beyond beautiful. We wanted to just sit and admire it! It was too pretty to cut! They knew just what to do. Karen was super!
And of course it was delicious! But, it was amazingly beautiful!

Got married April 29, 2017 Barb's made our cake for 200 people. By far the cake exceeded our expectations. It was the best tasting wedding cake we have ever had. Our guest we're very impressed by the cake too. The price was totally reasonable and the service was great.

If you're looking for an absolutely beautiful and delicious wedding cake, Barb's is the way to go. They have a variety of flavors and fillings to choose from and the selections that we chose turned out to be perfect for us. The cake itself was very moist and flavorful. They nailed the cake design and even worked with us when we brought in a topper that was too heavy. Even better, they were very affordable compared to the competition. If you want the wedding cake of your dreams give Barb's a shot and they will deliver, literally!

Thanks again,

Travis & Megan Williams

Barb's has great taste at a great price. I feel that many vendors gouge couples on their wedding. Barb's was less than 1/2 the cost of other bids that I got. The cake not only tasted good it was beautiful. We had a 5 tier cake. They decorated exactly as I had asked and even added decorations that I brought in. Great job. (Try the lemon cake w/ lemon filling....yum)

BEST CAKE EVER!

Seriously, I received lots of positive feedback from guests on our wedding cake. We got marble cake with marble filling and MMMHHHMMM. It was so yummy.

The decoration on the cake was beautiful as well. Considering no fondant is used, only buttercream these cakes look awesome! I actually thought they used fondant and I requested that they didn't for my cake and that's when they let me know that they don't use it. Awesome place and I can't wait until my 1st anniversary to order another cake to devour!

Barb's Cakery did our cake for our wedding and it was beautiful.

It was delivered on time and it was exactly what we envisioned it to look like. KIM was so helpful in our cake tasting and the design of our cake. Physically, it was absolutely beautiful, but the actual taste was amazing! (I made sure to have a bite of each layer LOL).. We went with 4 tiers with lemon w/ raspberry filling, chocolate w/ chocolate fudge, white chocolate chip w/ strawberry and marble w/ raspberry. I can't even tell you which one was my favorite!

Very reasonable in price, appeasing to the eye and delicious!! Will be recommending and using in the future!!

Thank you! Sean and Ashley Farlin

Barb's made a beautiful 4-tiered cake for my wedding! They had many designs to choose from and are very reasonably priced. They offer many cake flavors and fillings and they allow you to order samples. We were unable to make it in during their regular hours and they offered to stay 30 minutes after their closing time so my husband and I could order our cake. The cake was delicious and the guests commented on how moist it was. Barb's doesn't disappoint!

Barb's Cakery did a fabulous job on my daughter's wedding cake. The groom wanted snicker doodle cake. Barb's custom-made it for him and it was delicious! Barb's uses butter-cream frosting that tastes unbelievably good and looks flawless. The cake was moist and delicious with very good flavor. The bottom layer was snicker doodle, the middle layer vanilla with raspberry filling and the top, I think, is chocolate. The top is in the freezer, frozen until the first anniversary but sometimes I am tempted to go in that freezer, cut a small sliver and eat that yummy cake! (my daughter will never know, right?) I recommend Barb's. The wedding cake was tasty, beautiful and delivered to perfection!

When I went in to order my cake, I brought 3 or 4 pictures of completely different cakes I had found online. I showed them what I liked about each one. I didn't think it could be done, but they managed to design a cake, using every aspect I wanted, and it was perfect! My cake was absolutely beautiful, tasted delicious, and was well worth the price! I was amazed at how great they were to work with! Thank you so much!!

Barb's Cakery was the perfect place to get my wedding cake. It was inexpensive, and it turned out beautiful. They delivered and set up the cake, and even set up the decorations we were using for the cake table! (We didn't ask them to, they just did it when they saw them sitting on the table, and it turned out perfect!)

The cake also was amazingly delicious! So moist!! Most wedding cake is kind of dry (I'm assuming because it is easier to keep its shape that way...??) But mine was moist and delicious! I have 3 different flavors (spice, strawberry, and red velvet...all with cream cheese filling) and they all turned out amazing! We did taste about 10 different flavors which made it extremely hard to decide since they were all amazing!

You can't go wrong with Barb's Cakery!!!

Wonderful! The cake was delicious and they were willing to work with me only a few weeks before my wedding. They did everything I asked for and were wonderful! Everything turned out great. People kept asking where I got my cake from. The only problem was that my wedding was on a Sunday and they charged an extra $75 set up fee so that was a bummer. But overall it was a great!

Another vendor who was so easy to work with. We went in a tried the cake and all the flavors were delicious!! Moist cake is a must and they have perfected it. I told them exactly what we wanted and they made it! It was gorgeous and tasted so good. I made it a point to grab a bite of the different flavors during the reception and I thought I wouldn't have time for that. I highly reccommend this cakery!

They have the best tasting cakes in town, hands down. I am a fan of butter cream frosting - do not like the taste of fondant - and that is their area of expertise. The owner met with me several times to go over the design and never seemed to mind when I would make changes. The cake turned out beautiful and we got tons of comments from guests about how great it tasted.

Beautiful cake. Everyone thought the buttercream topping was fondant! They did an amazing job, just what we asked for! The cake arrived on time, and it was able to with stand the heat. They also offered a free quarter sheet cake because I attended the "Vendor get together" at my ceremony site.

They had so many options to choose from, the cake flavors we chose were white with fudge filling & marble with marble filling. Our Venue ( Wedgewood Fresno) had Barb's as their all-inclusive baker and we got a 3 tier cake. Perfect for our guest list of about 70 & we kept the top tier for our anniversary! the cake turned out gorgeous, looked so elegant and pretty!! Day of cake was the best, so many of guests asked for seconds! It was so good. Jamie was our main contact and she made everything so easy.

LOVED our wedding cake. Barb's Cakery did what we asked! We had a special request for our cake topper, it had been used by my grandma and mother, and they incorporated the "old" with a modern flare and I was pleased with that! The one downfall was I called a couple of weeks before my wedding just to check in and they did not have my reservation for the correct date. After a quick panic, they found it and were very professional about the mistake!

Provided us with a beautiful cake, on time, with no hassles. We were required to place a deposit on and return the tier platforms after the wedding. it seemed as though this was standard practice.

We didn't get a chance to taste the favorsame before the wedding because of our work schedules. When we tasted the cake the day of the wedding we absolutely love the taste and how moist it was. The cake was a little darker than we expected but it still looked beautiful!

Everyone loved our wedding cake. It was fresh and moist. The only negative is that the people you meet with regarding your consultation aren't as helpful. The person we dealt with didn't seem very sure of themselves when we would ask questions. That can be a little disconcerting. But the cake itself was beautiful and tasted great!

Barb's Cakery honored a deposit for which I still had the receipt, on my wedding that was called off 10 years prior. Only marked down for professionalism as the waiting area of the shop appears to be quite dirty and unkept. Store owner keeps her small children in the shop who run around and are noisy. Often have to wait for her to deal with her children when waiting for service. My cake looked good, tasted good, and was very appreciative that my 10 year old deposit was honored.
