    So far so good!

    Our wedding isn't for a little bit, so I cannot review the final product, but so far the process has been amazing! They are super responsive and professional. I scheduled a time to pick up my cake tastings and they were ready when I got there. She gave me helpful information and tips for tasting. When we selected the flavors she immediately updated our invoice. She was also very helpful in designing the cake for us from inspiration photographs. Also, if you are having your event at Sunset Terrace, they give you a complimentary anniversary cake so you don't have to worry about cutting the top off your wedding cake.

    Look no further

    Butterfly is amazing to work with! Super easy and their tastings come to you:) Not only are the cakes pretty to look at, they taste even better!! Sometimes cake can be bland, but not with Butterfly. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a cake.

    Wedding cake

    We cannot thank butterfly bakeshop enough for making the wedding cake of our dreams! It was not only beautiful but delicious as well! They were great to work with and we can’t wait to use them again for a future event. We gave them some inspiration pictures and the cake came out better than we could have ever imagined. We will be recommending them to all our friends!

    My mouth is still watering

    I have delayed this review, but it's only because each time I sit down to start, my mouth waters wishing I had more cake! From the beginning to end, Butterfly Bakeshop's service was exceptional! Personalized service. Their attention to detail and what you and your partner actually wanted was indescribable. We chose a Red Velvet and Lemon Marble Cake with a Gran Marnier filling and I'd do it again as soon as I have an opportunity. Their expansive listing of flavors and combinations are exquisite. Thank you to Stacey and the whole Butterfly Bakeshop team for making the night of my dreams that much more delicious!

    Delicious and Stunning!!

    Butterfly Bakeshop makes the most delicious cakes we, or any of our wedding guests, have ever tasted. For our wedding, we went with 3 different flavor combinations and 5 tiers: vanilla with dulce de leche; chocolate with raspberry jam; and lemon red velvet with cream cheese. Multiple guests have reached out to us since the wedding telling us they will be dreaming about that cake for years to come. And so will we. Each layer was positively scrumptious—fresh, delicious, creamy, decadent. The list goes on. We cannot wait to taste it again on our one-year anniversary! Plus the cake itself was stunningly beautiful, and the staff were great to work with while we were planning. We thoroughly enjoyed our at-home tasting experience (they prepared mini-cupcake versions of the combinations that we wanted to try out and personally delivered them to us on our chosen day). We absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful, delicious cake that is worth bragging about!

    Delicious & Unique Cakes!

    We were first introduced to Butterfly Bakeshop at a Bloomingdale’s registry event. Our moms kept going back to their area for more and fell in love with their cakes. The staff was incredibly responsive via email and we were able to schedule a pick-up for our tasting box really quickly. We were so excited to see fillings like dulce de leche, guava, and passion fruit buttercream. The tasting was delicious and it really got us excited about having our cake really represent the flavors of our cultures and that tasted so delicious. I loved their cake so much during the tasting; I ordered a cake for my bridal shower as well. Designing both cakes was incredibly easy with the Butterfly Bakeshop team and they delivered both cakes to the venues. Our guests loved the cake and the different fillings. We enjoyed our anniversary cake a month after the wedding and it tasted so fresh. If you’re looking for a delicious and extraordinary cake, look no further. We plan to celebrate more our life celebrations with Butterfly Bakeshop cakes!!

    Great service, better tasting cake!

    I highly recommend Butterfly Bakeshop. First, for the tasting, they offer to-go tasting, which allowed us the opportunity to try six different cake and frosting combinations in the comfort of our home. After selecting the one we loved, they created a cake that was more than what we expected. It looked amazing and, more importantly, the cake was delicious and our guests loved it! We look forward to tasting the cake again for our one year anniversary in about 8 months! And the price was affordable!

    Beautiful and delicious cake for reasonable price in NYC

    We were thrilled with our cake from Butterfly Bakeshop - it was beautiful and delicious without breaking bank. The ordering process and working with Butterfly was really easy. They had a ton of options to choose from, and for $50 you can buy a small a tasting kit so you can try out combinations before placing your order. We also enjoyed some of our cake a week after the wedding - still delicious!

    So easy to work with

    Butterfly was one of the easiest vendors we worked with -- they were so responsive, flexible, helpful, and not to mention...their cake is insanely delicious! They made the quoting process, design process, and tasting process so easy. They sent us our choice of 5 tastings with different frosting combinations direct to our apartment. They followed our design direction perfectly and they were very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend!

    Best Cake Ever!

    I would highly recommend Butterfly Bakeshop for your wedding cake. We were looking for a small cake for our destination wedding in New York City. I found Butterfly Bakeshop online and had never had something from their bakery. We were not disappointed. From the beginning, it was super easy to work with them. They had great suggestions and really worked with us to make sure our cake was everything we wanted it to be.

    We were able to customize and make it exactly what we wanted for the price we wanted. We ended up with two-tiered brushed stoke cake. The bottom layer was chocolate with a chocolate buttercream filling and the top layer was lemon with raspberry filling. The cake was stunning! The cake itself was moist, the fillings were to die for and the buttercream... YUM! I can't wait to go back to New York and order our cake all over again. It was everything we could've wanted.

    Beautiful and delicious wedding cake

    Butterfly Bakeshop designed a beautiful and delicious cake that was exactly what we wanted. We liked the fact that they offered a wide variety of flavors and delivered the cake tastings to us so that we could taste them at home on our schedule. They were able to design the perfect cake based on our inspiration photos that we provided. We also really liked the fact that they provided us with a separate small cake for our one year anniversary. Butterfly Bakeshop delivered a cake that looked and tasted wonderful!

    Veterans Day

    There are no words to describe the level of service, quality and generosity Butterfly Bakeshop provided for us. The cake looked incredible and was easily the most delicious cake I've ever tasted. I can't wait to work with them again and try all of their different flavors. I would recommend them to anyone.

    Beautiful and delicious

    We could not have been happier with our cake :) Butterfly Bakeshop helped us customize our NYC Skyline cake and it turned out beautifully. The chocolate Nutella flavor was so delicious, we only wished we had ordered a bigger cake since we didn't have any leftovers!

    The process for cake tasting and ordering our cake with Butterfly Bake Shop could not have been more simple for our 9/15/18 wedding on Long Island, NY. The tasting cupcakes were delivered to our apartment and we made a night out of it! We had a specific color and design choice and in the end, everything was beautiful... and delicious. In the end, we got a 3-tier buttercream cake, bottom and top funfetti and the middle tier red velvet. Cannot tell you how delicious that funfetti was the day after the wedding! Thank you for making my wedding cake dreams come true!

    The staff at Butterfly Bakeshop did a wonderful job making our beautiful cake for our wedding. The cake itself is so tasty and they decorated it exactly as we had hoped! I love that they let you taste the cake flavors prior to purchasing, and even let us do a different flavor for each tier of the cake! They were very affordable and so easy to work with! Such a great find!

    We absolutely loved our wedding cake! Our guests loved it too. Not only did it look spectacular (entire cake was covered in sprinkles!) it was super tasty too. At one stage, I got so confused why the dance floor cleared out - it turns out everyone was lining up to get a taste of the cake. Super strange, considering people tend to not eat dessert that much for weddings.

    Thanks again for making the experience seamless. Cake arrived on time at the venue, and the team did a great job communicating with the venue and our wedding coordinator to sort out logistics.

    Totally recommend them and we're even considering ordering a small cake on our one year anniversary as it was that tasty :)

    Butterfly Bakeshop was AMAZING! They went above and beyond when creating our incredible wedding cake. My husband and I were thrilled we could do an at-home tasting (so much better than someone staring at you to see if you like their cake!). We selected a cake with alternating tiers of funfetti cake with raspberry jam and vanilla cake with vanilla bean frosting. In addition to the cake, we had a sheet cake for distributing to more guests. Our guests loved that we went for the classic (yet gourmet!) funfetti and a simple vanilla - something for everyone to love. Guests raved about how great the cake was and some even contacted us after to see if they could have the leftovers! Butterfly Bakeshop was excellent at communicating leading up the wedding, were very familiar with our reception venue, and worked with our florist to coordinate flower placement on the cake. They also provided extra boxes for leftover cake and provided an anniversary cake. I'll be honest - my husband and I ate it right away because it was that good! We'll definitely be coming back for more on our first anniversary. Thank you, Butterfly Bakeshop, for your beautiful and delicious creation!!!

    Butterfly Bakeshop was great to work with for picking and designing the cake. For scheduling the tasting, I had to do the Crate and Barrel pickup since I was planning my wedding from out of town but the tasting was quick, painless, and delicious. The end product was perfect.
