Brielle Sent on 11/02/2024Dream wedding cake - gluten free!
Our wedding was a couple years ago now (Oct 2022) and we are still dreaming about our amazing wedding cake made by the Bean Counter Bakery! Alice and the entire team were so lovely to work with and helped make our dream wedding cake a reality! What was particularly amazing was that the cake was gluten-free (as the bride has Celiac) and it was so delicious that none of our guests could tell. We received so much amazing feedback from our family and friends about how delicious the wedding cake was! It was a gluten-free carrot cake without nuts with a cream cheese frosting layer and buttercream outer frosting to hold the structure of the design better. We are truly so grateful to the Bean Counter for helping make our wedding cake dreams come true! -

Nancy Sent on 06/19/2024THE wedding cake bakery
People are still talking about the wedding cake! It was scrumptious as were the dozens of mini desserts and the dozens of chocolate covered strawberries. The couple only wanted a very small 2 tier cake - but as the mother of the bride - I knew people would remember the cake so we also ordered a double layer specialty sheet cake so that every slice served was the same. These cakes along with the other desserts were all devoured. Alice Lombardi and her team were attentive, very detail oriented, excellent communicators, timely and very professional. Bean Counter Bakery is now our go to bakery and I highly recommend them. -

Alice is friendly and extremely talented. She created my dream wedding cake. The cake was perfect, elegant and absolutely delicious with three different flavors. I recommend having Alice make everyone’s wedding cake. -

Brittani Sent on 10/25/2022The best cake we have literally ever eaten
I cannot possibly express how much we were OBSESSED with our wedding cake from Bean Counter!!!!! Alice was not only an expert in delicious cake and design, but friendly, helpful, and communicative. We have many allergies in our family to gluten and tree nuts including myself and most of our wedding party. Alice made us feel so safe in having our completely gluten and tree nut free cake for our wedding, along with our incredible cannolis and eclairs. My old school Italian family was RAVING about how delicious it all was! I barely wanted a wedding cake before going to our original cake tasting because I was convinced that there was no way that a gluten free wedding cake... -

Alice and her staff were great! We had Alice's signature cake for our wedding and it was amazing. Everybody had something had something good to say about the cake. We would recommend Bean Counter Bakery for any special event or just to stop by and have some goodies. -

One of the highlights of wedding planning is the cake tasting, and if you choose Bean Counter Bakery, you’re really in for a treat! We chose Bean Counter Bakery because not only did their flavors blow us away, but we were also excited to support a local, woman-owned business. We chose a spice cake with an apple caramel filling and buttercream frosting and, oh man, just remembering it is making me hungry! The cake was beautiful and absolutely divine. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious the cake was: delicately moist, not overwhelmingly sweet, and perfectly fitting for a New England fall wedding. The Bean Counter team was a joy to work with and our wedding day delivery... -

Emily Sent on 11/21/2021Delicious Cake!
Alice and team did an incredible job with our wedding cake! From the moment we met Alice she was professional and so organized. We enjoyed trying all of the flavors with her at the tasting and she even invited us back to try more, if needed! Alice and her husband transported our cake all the way to Kennebunk, ME too. I was blown away at how gorgeous the cake was - it looked exactly like the photo I had showed her for by vision! Best of all, Alice's cake flavors and taste are unlike any other. (not too sweet and perfectly moist). We got the vanilla cake with lemon filling and vanilla buttercream frosting and it was just perfect... -

Arianna Sent on 09/25/2021The Best Cake I've Ever Eaten
The Bean Counter Bakery has the best cake I have ever eaten! They are moist, flavorful, and just the perfect amount of sweetness, and the fillings are out-of-this-world delicious. We loved the cake so much during our cake tasting, we had to go back another day to get more. A few of my wedding guests who typically do not eat cake even loved it so much, they were asking me if they could take any extra pieces home! :D Alice made the planning process super easy and was very timely and efficient when answering any questions I had. I HIGHLY recommend The Bean Counter Bakery for any couple looking for the perfect wedding cake! -

Angie Sent on 06/27/2021Delicious!
As dessert lovers, having a wedding cake that was delicious was really important to us. We drove over an hour to try Bean Counter Bakery after receiving multiple recommendations. We had high expectations and were definitely not disappointed. Alice is wonderful; she has so many amazing flavors and worked with us to come up with a cake that looked classy but also reflected our style/preferences. We ended up going with a pretty untraditional wedding cake (chocolate with mocha filling and ganache frosting) and it was a huge hit. Given that she had worked with our venue before, she was actually able to offer us a topping that typically we wouldn’t be able to get in summer. I think the... -

Judy&Daniel Sent on 06/04/2021Alice is amazing!
Alice and her team are amazing at what they do. She's been doing this for decades, and has made cakes of all different types and sizes. We ended up having a two layer cake for about 80 people that was light on the frosting and emphasized some natural flowers. Bean Counter Bakery delivered from Worcester to our venue at The Oceanview of Nahant in their special cake-mobile, and they beautifully decorated the cake with flowers left form our florist. There are so many details about the wedding cake that Bean Counter Bakery has mastered. For example, our pinterest cake pins were a lot of four layer cakes, so there were some artistic subtleties that needed to be addressed translating... -

Amy Sent on 10/02/2020Reliable and Delicious!
Our experience with the Bean Counter was excellent. Originally they were included in our venue package but when COVID changed out plans and we relocated our venue we knew we wanted to keep Bean Counter as our bakery! Alice and team were so flexible when we changed things just a few weeks before the wedding. Everything came out perfect! We can't recommend them enough! -

Elizabeth Sent on 06/16/2020Stunning and Delicious Gluten Free and Traditional Cakes!!
Alice and the Bean Counter Bakery did a phenomenal job with our wedding cakes! Alice and her team were fantastic to work with throughout the entire process. My husband and I wanted to sample both gluten-free and traditional cake options, and Alice was extremely accommodating and generous with our tasting samples. We were blown away by the delicious taste of all the cakes we sampled. Alice was very helpful and attentive to detail in our preferences for the wedding cake designs, and even matched the cake fondant to a fabric swatch sample we sent. Wow! We were so impressed by her work that, in addition to our traditional and gluten-free wedding cakes, we also ordered several cheesecakes to serve... -

Barbara Sent on 12/02/2019The most delicious wedding cake
We had the most delicious wedding cake thanks to The Bean Counter! Our wedding venue caterer only works with The Bean Counter and one other local bakery, so we tried samples at two bakeries and thought The Bean Counter was the clear winner. Their cake is gorgeous with a wonderful crumb, their buttercream is some of the best I've ever had, and their fillings are delishious, inventive, and freshly made. We opted for a lemon curd and raspberry filling that was a spectacular hit . At my husband's request, we also opted for funfetti cake, which was a fun treat for our guests. I only wish the bakery was closer to our home so that we could enjoy it often! -

Ariel Sent on 10/17/2019Cake perfection!
Alice and her team were amazing to work with from day one. My husband has celiacs disease, so we needed to have a gluten free tasting. Alice was more than accommodating for this need. Her gluten free cakes are super moist and flavorful, which is not an easy thing to do. She made us a 6” gf groom’s cake in the same style as our typical cake. Our typical cake was absolutely delicious! I brought the leftovers to work with me after the wedding and a coworker that’s getting married asked for Alice’s and Bean Counter Bakery’s information. It’s not an exaggeration-her cakes really are THAT good! -

Kimberlee Sent on 10/11/2019Great tasting cake, and it looked good too!
Alice from The Bean Counter was wonderful to work with. She did an amazing job capturing the look I wanted for my wedding cake. The flavors were TO DIE FOR. From the frosting, to the filling, to the cake itself - all of it is absolutely delicious. The Bean Counter also offers gluten free options which worked out perfectly for me as many of my guests were allergic to gluten. I would highly recommend The Bean Counter to anyone!!! -

Rebecca Sent on 10/07/2019Our guests couldn't get enough!
Alice at Bean Counter was an absolute angel! Not only did she help us design the wedding cake and cupcake spread of our dreams, she was incredibly helpful and professional with accommodating for allergies in the guest list and wedding party. One of our guests had severe allergies to several extremely common ingredients, to the point that she had not been able to safely have cake for almost a decade. Alice was able to accommodate every single allergy, and the guest was so happy she cried at the reception, saying it was one of the best cupcakes she had ever had. She wasn't the only one: our guests DEVOURED the cupcakes, and everyone raved about them all night! Delivery was prompt, everything was perfect, and Alice was an absolute joy to work with. -

Alice and her team are absolutely amazing!! We had so much fun at our tasting and the end result left us speechless! They made our wedding day complete! Guests are still raving about our cake and they loved that it was funfetti, silly just like my husband and I! Being a cake decorator/baker, this was the part I was the most worried about. Would I find someone to be able to match what I am looking for? Alice is so pleasant and very fun to work with! Thank you so much Bean Counter for really making our day special!!!

Laura Sent on 01/14/2019So Delicious!
Our cake was so delicious that the only bite we got was the one when we cut our cake! I have never been to a wedding where the guests eat all the cake but we heard for days on end after our wedding how amazing everyone thought our cake was and how they went back for seconds! By the time we got a chance to eat some, it was all gone! And not because we didn't order enough - almost everyone got seconds!
They even made gluten free and vegan cupcakes for our wedding party who had allergies!
Absolutely amazing - can't wait for our anniversary cake! -

Stephanie Sent on 12/22/2018Alice was confident, knowledgeable and easy to work with!
Alice is absolutely incredible. We tasted her cakes at an expo at our venue and there was absolutelf NO COMPARISON to the other bakeries. Her cakes were moisit, flavorful and the buttercream was amazing. The other cakes were dry and the creams tasted like lard that left a film in your mouth.
I could not believe how well they replicated my vision! Cannot wait for our anniversary to have more!! -

Our wedding cake from the Bean Counter was absolutely delicious. Guests were coming up to us saying it was the best wedding cake they had ever had. Not only was it delicious, it was beautiful too. We had a grooms cake made for my husband and it came out great too. It was a football with an Alabama "A" on it which is just what we wanted! Everyone from there was great to work with. Everyone should get their cake from The Bean Counter! -
