    Beautiful designs

    I loved my cake!! I wanted a very specific design for the cake and they were great to work with and very communicative. They designed the cake perfectly to the inspiration photos I gave them and tied the bow so nicely. It was amazing! Cake came with our venue package and the chocolate and raspberry flavor was delicious!

    Perfect Cake!

    My wedding cake looked just like the picture I sent them - they did amazing! They also were able to work with my gluten free guests and delivered! I got so many compliments on the flourless chocolate cake (even from some non-gluten free guests)! My cake was also wonderfully delicious!

    Best Wedding Cake Ever!!!

    One of the best parts of the wedding planning process was cake tasting! After trying 4 other bakeries, we tried Central Continental. Within the very first bite, we were sold. They had great ideas on how to cut costs including making a small show cake for the wedding and making sheet cakes for the kitchen to cut up for our guests. The price was great and the sales woman that helped us was fantastic too. The cake was to die for!!! We chose 2 different flavors- half yellow/half chocolate with raspberry and banana cake with fudge (by far our favorite!!!!). Our guests continue to rave about the delicious cakes! Central Continental is now our favorite bakery by far! We could never get a cake from another bakery ever!

    The cake still tasted great after a year. Even endured while being in a hot car overnight. Great job!! :-)

    LOVEEEEED my cake!!!!

    It was gorgeous and looked EXACTLY like the picture i showed them. Not only did the cake look amazing, but it tasted BEYOND amazing as well!! My MOH has been in and attended what seems like a 100 weddings and even she was super impressed with how delicious our cake was.

    The cake was so delicious that my family had a replica tier waiting for my husband and I when we returned for our honeymoon (since we only got a bite or so the night of!)

    I can't say enough amazing things about my cake-- look no further, Central Continental should be your first and last stop for all your cake/bakery needs.

    The cake was exactly what I wanted! They did a nice job with the cake sampling too. We got to choose either mini cups or small cakes. We did the small cakes and it was a great dessert for later.

    Our cake came with the package at Fountain Blue, but it was yummy, yummy, yummy!! Our cake was so beautiful - my husband was impressed on how it came out! At the end of the night, everybody was asking where we got the cake from and because we had cake left over, it was all gone by the time we wanted a late night snack! It was that good!!

    We loved our wedding cake. The were able to make 3 different flavored tiers and one of them was pumpkin with cream cheese. They also provided our sweet table and all of our guests raved about how good the cake and the desserts were. I want my birthday cake from here! We worked through the Arboretum Club and the bakery was responsive in providing the answers to them.

    Central Continental Bakery baked and designed our wedding cake. It already looked so gorgeous on paper, but when we walked into our reception and saw the cake on the cake table, we were floored. It was so beautiful and well made! Not to mention delicious! They added a ribbon and some other touches to make the cake stand out, which I really appreciated! Can't wait to eat our top tier on our 1st wedding anniversary!

    I have great things to say about CCB.
    First of all, my cake was absolutely beautiful. I had a rustic theme and I wanted a textured cake, so I gathered some inspiration and CCB recreated exactly what I wanted. It also tasted delicious! (combination cake flavors with buttercream filling).
    The staff was also very helpful. I ordered the cake through my venue that is partnered with the bakery, but I had to get in touch with the bakery personally so I could talk about details.
    Candice was the one who worked with me, and I was extremely impressed with her speedy responses. We chatted throughout the day, and I got emails back within minutes from her. It was so nice to get everything settled in just one day, and relieved a lot of stress.
    She was also super flexible, and shared in my excitement to have the cake I wanted.

    When I saw it on my wedding day as I entered the reception, I couldn't have been happier. My guests loved it as well. Thank you CCB!

    Central Continental Bakery is the bakery that my vendor went through. I was a little thrown because when we did our tasting we ordered to-go cups for $2.50 of 6 different flavors of cakes / fillings, so it wasnt exactly the experience i was expecting - but every single type of cake / filling was out of this world!!! Everything at that bakery is just amazing. Everyone there is really nice too! The design on my cake was intricate, and didnt turn out like the picture, but it was very pretty and tasted AWESOME! I did 2 tiers of vanilla cream and 1 tier of raspberry cream - just delicious!!

    Delicious Cake!!

    We absolutely loved our wedding cake and so did our guests! We received many compliments during and after our wedding. Our cake was fresh, moist, and full of flavor. Jeanie was very attentive to what we wanted and responsive to all my questions and emails. Our cake was so good, we couldn't save our top tier until our 1 year anniversary and I look forward to asking if a mini replica can be made next year.

    Delicious Cake

    Katie at the bakery was so helpful and a delight to work with. I did not have an exact style picked out and was provided with lost of options and design ideas to choose from. Their cake was so light and flavorful that seconds were needed! I would recommend them to anyone in need of a cake.

    Our wedding cake came with the wedding package at the Concorde. We had such a fun and tasty cake tasting experience. We had no idea what type of cake we wanted, but between tasting and looking at books at the bakery, we chose our cake. We thought we would be limited in our selection since it was part of a package, but we were not! Our cake was so beautiful and exceeded our expectations. It was so delicious! Would definitely recommend!

    We discovered this bakery through our venue at Concorde Banquets. We worked with Katie Collins and she was super helpful and accomodating and the cake was delicious! We also did donut party favors with them which were a hit!
