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 would be good. I was SO wrong! After eating the first bite, I was literally more excited about our cake than I have ever been about any dessert in my entire life (which, believe me, says a lot). We fell in love with not only our cake flavors (one layer lemon/raspberry, one layer apple pie filling, and one layer chocolate chip cannoli), but Alice worked with us to get the perfect design that we wanted. Our cake was GORGEOUS and we can't wait to get photos back from our photographer so we can keep reminiscing about our beautiful AND delicious cake! We cannot say enough good things about Alice and her unbelievable talent. Hire this bakery!!!!! -

Our wedding cake was absolutely beautiful! It’s everything that we wanted and most importantly, it tasted delicious! We were even able to use one of their stunning cake stands which really made the presentation perfect. Bean counter bakery is an excellent choice!! -

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 was seamless. I’m still thinking about the cake 🤤. I highly recommend trying this bakery for your dessert needs.

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 (our guests are still telling us how delicious the cake was). Even those guests who didn't like lemon LOVED this flavor. The cake looked great on Alice's cake stand as well. I would recommend Alice to any other bride. -

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! -

Excellent experience, delicious cake
The Bean Counter Bakery did an amazing job with our wedding cake. We had great communication with Alice from our initial meeting to the wedding day. Our wedding date in 2020 was canceled and pushed back a year and we had no issues rescheduling with them. At the initial meeting they gave us all the details we needed to know about choosing a cake and we were able to try several flavors. We ended up with a three tier cake with each tier a different flavor and filling. It was delicious and beautiful! Would highly recommend Bean Counter Bakery for your wedding cake. -

Delicious and beautiful wedding cake!
Alice and the Bean Counter did a wonderful job with our wedding cake. We found them through our venue (Fruitlands), and heard great things from other couples about their buttercream frosting (no fondant!) which is exactly what we were looking for.
We did our cake tastings during COVID, so we took our samples to go. We went for it and tried 7 different combinations, and Alice even had a sample of banana pudding cake made for us (a non-standard flavor for them, since I was interested in a banana cake option). In the end, we decided on a funfetti cake with raspberry buttercream filling and vanilla buttercream frosting, and it was delicious! The cake itself was light, and there was the right amount of filling and frosting without it being overwhelming - it was one of the best cakes I’ve had. Our guests loved it, and even though we ordered more than enough cake, it was totally finished by the end of the night. Alice also kindly made vegan cupcake versions of our cake for a few of our guests so they could have some, too.
Her team also frosted it beautifully (a simple horizontal stripe pattern), and worked with our florists to add the cake florals for a simple but pretty look.
I highly recommend the Bean Counter to anyone looking for a wedding cake or another event cake that will be delicious and pretty! -

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 best way to evaluate their quality is the fact that due to covid, our numbers for our wedding were down from 120 to 70 guests. We still ordered enough cake for all 120 thinking we could enjoy our leftovers for weeks after the wedding. The cake was so popular that we had ended up with just a few slices left over, which disappeared quickly over the course of the night. We are very happy we went with Bean Counter Bakery, and will be returning in coming years for some anniversary 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. -

Simply the BEST wedding cake
Our wedding cake from the bean counter was fantastic. We went with an understated, simple cake design for our micro wedding, yet it was truly very elegant and exactly what we wanted. We didn't really expect guests to comment on the cake, but MANY guests told us how truly beautiful and delicious the cake was. We loved it and our guests could not get enough either! We also had to change our wedding plans on short notice due to COVID. We contacted Alice a month before our micro wedding and she took care of us right away. We did a tasting, placed the order and on the day of the wedding the bean counter delivered everything seamlessly. It was easy, perfect and truly the best wedding cake I've ever had. We will use the bean counter again for any future events and occasions! Highly recommend that you book with them! -

Wedding Cake Delite!
The most wonderful wedding cake we could have imagined. Alice worked with us to get just the right combination of flavors and options to make the bride and groom happy! We did our tasting during COVID and felt safe the whole time. Alice was always willing to go with the changes due to COVID, particularly after our venue had changed from the Worcester area and to Cape Cod. They delivered the perfect cake all the way to us there! The cake was unbelievable, and I look forward to using them for all of my future events! No need to keep looking, BOOK THEM NOW! -

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! -

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 designs to a two layer cake. Alice automatically saw that and was really patient explaining and drawing pictures to us. Our families were also blown away by how the cake tasted; they were expecting a cake that was too sweet or too dense, whereas the cake ended up just being delicious. -

The Most Delicious Cake You'll Ever Taste!
Our guests are still raving about our wedding cake (and we got married 8 months ago)!
I've been planning weddings in the Boston market for 10+ years and every time one of my clients shares just how much they love dessert and how important the taste / flavor of their wedding cake will be... I ALWAYS bring them to Alice. The cakes that come out of this bake shop are absolutely delicious and the flavor options are endless! My husband and I ended up choosing three flavors for our cake (Vanilla Buttercream with Rainbow Chips and Funfetti Cake (just like my mother-in-law use to make when my husband was a kid), White Chocolate Peppermint Buttercream and Chocolate Cake (think Peppermint Pattie!), and White Chocolate Amaretto Buttercream with Fresh Strawberries and Vanilla Cake (one of my mom's specialties)! All three were DELICIOUS!!!!
In addition to being super tasty, Alice and her team did an incredible job with the design. I am pretty particular about wedding design / décor and wanted the color of the cake to match perfectly. We chose to do some color blocking with a soft blue over the natural cream so during our tasting I left Alice one of our wedding invitations so she could use it as a reference to create the custom color for our design... IT CAME OUT PERFECT!
All in all I could not be happier with our wedding cake and highly recommend Alice and her team to anyone planning a wedding! If you love delicious dessert then you won't be disappointed!! -
