    The European Bakery has always been my favorite bakery to grab delicious pastries and truffles. I was shocked to discover that their wedding cakes are actually very affordable. We selected their carrot cake with cream cheese and buttercream frosting. It was such a crowd hit at our wedding, even our dinner caterer couldn't stop raving about it.

    Our cake was even more beautiful than I could have pictured. Helen was very responsive, flexible with our last minute changes, and our guests raved about the cake.

    Cake tasting is the best part about wedding planning! European Bakery gave us so many options with cakes, frostings and fillings. We decided on three different flavors for each tier and our guests loved all the them! The cake was light and spongy, while the frosting was creamy and sweet. While planning our cake, I was worried the cake would look to short. The staff was helpful and suggested to add a extra layer to each tier. I am so happy they were there helping make the cake of my dreams. They delivered the cake to the reception and used the flowers the florist left for them. It looked stunning! We would definitely order from them again.

    Helen at the European Bakery is fantastic!!! Our wedding cake was beautiful, unique, and DELICIOUS! What more could you want for your wedding cake?! She really works with you to design exactly what you want, we were thrilled and got many compliments. She even design a special surprise grooms cake for my Star Trek loving husband - a 3 dimensional Enterprise ship - he was psyched!

    So let me start by saying I am a cake person. I love cake. I look forward to holidays and events because of cake being served at some point. Helen and European Bakery were recommended to me by the venue I had my wedding at this previous weekend. Because I live in Ohio, my husband and I weren't able to do any cake taste testing, but trusted the recommendation. After having my wedding cake, I wish I did live closer so I could cake taste test at European Bakery as a past-time hobby. Our cake was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. And lucky for me (I mean us) -- there were leftovers aside from our 1 year anniversary slice. And I absolutely ate another piece the day after the wedding! Everyone complimented not only the incredible flavor, but the beautiful design. Helen, do you ship cakes? My birthday is in a month :) XO

    My husband and I chose to have three separate flavored tortes/cakes rather than a traditional wedding cake - our favorite cake in the world is European Bakery's Kahlua torte so we chose that, amaretto, and lemon/raspberry, all of which were a hit with everyone. Each was beautifully decorated. We had a brunch in the morning at the same Inn where the reception had been held the prior evening and one of the guests asked if there was any leftover cake - it was so good that was what she wanted for brunch (and that was exactly what she ate)!!

    Our wedding cake was absolutely wonderful. The flavors were perfect. We had a great time going to the bakery and picking out what we wanted. They were perfectly willing to work with us, find exactly what we were looking for. The finished cake was beautiful, and exactly what we had asked for.

    They also were willing to work with us to create something that was beautiful, tasty, and reasonably priced. Instead of insisting on a larger cake to feed all of our guests, they suggested a smaller "display" cake and a sheet cake out back. It allowed us to save a little bit on the cake while not sacrificing the flavor or quality. Definitely a plus!

    The service was amazing, the cake was amazing, the presentation was amazing and delivery was prompt.

    I can't wait for my birthday to come so I can request one of their cakes again.


    Above and beyond any other we tried... Don't miss this one.

    We ordered quite a variety from Helen for our wedding: various fruit pies, two kinds of mini whoopie pies, wedding cake, and bread for blessing. Everything was delicious. We went for a tasting before we ordered and just couldn't stop eating everything. For our cake, we ordered a yellow cake with lemon buttercream and fresh blueberries. It was so light and delicious. Helen is very sweet and easy to work with.

    European Bakery did a fantastic job on our wedding pies and cupcakes. We had apple and cherry pies and three kinds of cupcakes for 115 people. We wanted a Boston Cream cupcake, which was not on the menu, but the team created a delicious cupcake that fit the bill and everyone loved it. Great job team!

    I was so impressed with European Bakery for my daughter's wedding. The cake was absolutely gorgeous and delicious. The whole experience started when we were invited for the first consult and cake tasting. I recommend you go to the tasting with an empty stomach. You get to taste so many different kinds and the tasting pieces are quite large. The cake on the wedding day was absolutely gorgeous. Best of all... Wedding guests could not get enough of it. They said it was the best cake they ever tasted! Should you decide on European Bakery you will have fun at the tasting in their little bakery cafe bistro and also be amazed as you browse through her wedding cake portfolio as you TRY to decide on cake design! Remember to go on an empty stomach and Bon Appetit! As far as pricing goes... We paid the same for this cake as we did for our own wedding cake 37 years ago!!!!! We expected this cake to be so much more expensive.

    We got our cake (2 flavors) and mini-wrapped whoopie pies for the place settings from European Bakery. From the tasting to the cake, European Bakery was easy to work with, professional, and delivered the best cake! We tried a couple of other vendors in Portland, South Portland & Kennebunk, but we had issues with each (cake didn't taste great, business was extraordinarily disorganized (wrong date/place/flavor in quote)etc.) --it ended up being a really easy decision for us and I'm so glad we went with European Bakery. The cake was pheomenal and our guests that forgot the whoopie pies were very sad they'd done so!
    European Bakery delivered the cake on time and without any issue-they were very easy to work with. Unfortunately, the venue did not put out the sheet cake that we'd ordered instead of a 4th tier (EB's suggestion to save some money)--while a great idea & cost savings, it's the one thing I think I'd do differently next time around as the venue didn't realize that they were supposed to put it out and so many guests didn't have a chocolate option, which was a shame - it was delicious (as I can attest for having done some damage to the sheet cake the week after the wedding).

    I had heard great things about European Bakery before I went in for a tasting - and we were not disappointed. Helen was fantastic when we went in for a tasting and we were able to taste a full variety of different cakes and frosting options. We decided on two types and both were used for our cake. Our cake came out beautiful - exactly how I wanted it, and it tasted delicious. Much better tasting than fondant, yet still they can do a clean look if you wish that looks as good if not better. We did a basket weave design which was beautiful. I highly recommend European Bakery if you are looking for a Wedding Cake bakery in southern Maine!

    I still dream of this cake

    I was hesitant when I went to my tasting and saw that it was not a fancy bakery and no one was pouring champagne (I mean I kind of thought that is what a cake tasting was about, right?) but once I tasted the cakes and the magic that is honey buttercream (it's what dreams are made of!) I had a change of heart. No, the bakery isn't fancy, it's on some highway in the middle of nowhere and no, they don't roll out the red carpet for brides doing cake tastings. But what counts is they have endless options and will work with you to create your vision. Do not look at the book, as all of their cakes look like they are from 1987 - just send them photos of what you want the cake to look like and they will make it happen. Our cake was gorgeous and even more importantly, delicious! Also, pro tip - take the cake samples home with you! They do not bake the cakes the same day as your wedding in most cases - and we totally liked another cake the day of, but after trying all the cake samples the day after (and again the day after that!) we found the European Bakery cakes were even more delicious and one of the other bakery's cakes had totally dried out. Our cake was perfect and I can't wait to have the topper on our one year!

    The European Bakery was an absolute dream to work with. After the tasting we knew we had chosen the perfect bakery to create our dream wedding cake. We chose a very simple, white cake with whipped cream cheese filling with fresh blueberries and strawberries, topped with butter cream frosting. The cake design mirrored our wedding day theme which was simple elegance. It was breathtaking especially with the addition of the flowers from our florist. Thank you for the most beautiful wedding cake and we can't wait to come back in a year to have you whip us up some anniversary cupcakes!

    Our cake was perfect - it was styled exactly the way we wanted it and tasted even better than we could have imagined! We had a very stress-free cake tasting and had no issues in getting the cake to the venue on the day of the wedding.

    European bakery went well above and beyond in their solutions for our cakes for our wedding. They really made our experience fun from the cake tasting event with our kids to having a couple of brainstorm sessions on how to decorate the cakes. We picked 3 totally different flavors and they worked their magic to make them all look similar on the outside even though they were all very different. The cakes were fresh and gorgeous. We chose tortes and were told they would transport very well for the 3 1/2 hours to our venue (even though we chose to save a few bucks and bring them ourselves) and they were right! Everything went great and the guests were blown away by the beauty and the excellent taste!
