    Creative and Delicious Cakes!

    We were so glad that we went with Freedom Bakery for our wedding event this past November. They did an outstanding job with both the bride and grooms cake. With the groom’s cake in particular we sent them some pictures of what we were thinking about, and they did a phenomenal job of capturing exactly what we wanted! Our guests was cracking up all evening long seeing our groom’s cake. And it tasted great also!

    Delicious wedding cake

    Freedom was amazing to work with for our wedding! Everything in our tasting plate was amazing and communication from their team was top notch. We're looking forward to eating our cake on our first anniversary!

    What a great cake!

    Freedom Bakery made us the perfect wedding cake. Our wedding was themed for the California Coast and we wanted the cake to both be a delicious wedding cake and also mimic a lighthouse. The team at freedom bakery took our idea, helped us refine it, and built the perfect cake at our budget. The tasting plate was a great way for us to select the right flavor. It was very difficult to pick among the multiple excellent flavors, but we ultimately selected Boston Cream and it was just perfect!

    Gorgeous and scrumptious!! 10/10

    We hired Freedom Bakery to make out wedding cake and couldn't be happier with the service we received!! Despite the fact that we were planning our wedding from out of state, communication with Tania and her team was super easy. We sent photos of the look we wanted to achieve, and they did an outstanding job capturing what we were after! We ordered the three-tier (10" + 8" + 6") Raspberry Preserve & Italian Lemon Mousse cake with buttercream frosting and it was DIVINE! We received so many compliments on the cake! Since we were working on a limited budget, we also appreciated that we could pick up the cake ourselves for a discounted price. Highly recommend!!

    Affordable, beautiful, and delicious cakes

    We were thrilled to find Freedom Bakery after a frustrating search in the Monterey area for an affordable, professional solution. The tasting experience was seamless: we picked up a cake tasting tray at their Watsonville location and tasted in the comfort of our own home. Once we decided on our cake flavors and styles, Tania helped craft our vision into reality, all via email. I was impressed by Tania's responsiveness (I always heard back in less than 24 hours), and patience at my many questions. Freedom Bakery delivered our cake on time to the venue (I LOVED not having to worry about cake pickup or transportation), and even worked with our florist to add fresh flowers into the design. Our guests raved about how delicious the cake was (we didn't have nearly enough leftovers as I would have liked). I would recommend Freedom Bakery to any wedding in the Monterey area!

    Delicious cake and easy to work with

    Freedom Bakery made the whole process easy, from their sample tray to picking up the cake on the day of the wedding. The sample cake flavors we tried were by far the most delicious of any bakery in the area! We picked salted caramel and raspberry amaretto. Freedom Bakery helped us estimate the amount of cake we would need and then created our cake exactly as specified without any issues. They packed it carefully to make sure we could get it to the venue easily. All of our guests agreed that it was one of the best wedding cakes they've ever eaten. My only regret is not saving any of the cake because I would love to eat another slice right now!

    Delicious Cake & Excellent Customer Service!

    Freedom Bakery is amazing! Their website made it super easy to order a cake tasting plate, put down a deposit, and place our order. Tania was professional and outstanding to work with as we shared our inspiration pictures and made order + delivery to our venue a breeze. We got endless compliments about how delicious our wedding cake was (One tier was raspberry lemon and another was boston cream pie with chocolate ganache.) I'd recommend Freedom Bakery for any event: Weddings, Birthdays, they can do it all!

    Wedding 6/4/22

    Was so so happy with the cake that Freedom Bakery created for us! The lemon and raspberry it was so delicious and they nailed the design on the cake exactly how I envisioned.

    Great quality and selection!

    We loved our cake and dessert table from Freedom Bakery. They worked with us to customize the look of our cake and select the right assortment for our dessert table. The cake was gorgeous and delicious, and I think it was a great value too. We were thrilled!

    Best Cakes!

    First off, my family has been using Freedom Bakery for over 30 years. This is our go to place for any special occasion, thus of course they had to be a part of our wedding.

    We did a take home cake tasking plate and all the flavors were delicious. My husband had his favorites (raspberry) and I can mine (caramel), but we both decided on the oreo filling which surprised both of us.

    Once we found a photo of a cake design that we wanted, it was very easy to send them that photo and change the colors of it to out wedding colors. We got a discount on the cake for having a family member pick it up ourselves. The process was really easy and as far as wedding planning goes, it may have been the easiest part of the entire wedding planning process.

    We also were able to order the same cake for our 2 month anniversary (as there were no left overs) and it was just as special and delicious. Planning to order again for our 1 year anniversary.

    Wonderful Wedding Cake!

    We purchased an all-inclusive wedding package through our venue, and Freedom Bakery was our wedding cake vendor that was included! We were blown away by the number of flavor options, and how excellent they tasted! We went with half lemon raspberry and half boston cream pie. Both flavors were a huge hit and the cake looked and tasted just as great as it did during our tasting. We would not recommend anyone else for a wedding cake!

    Great cake! Even greater service!

    This was a seamless experience. Very easy team to work with. They were able to recreate a cake just off the picture we sent them. I would totally recommend if I know anyone who needs your services in the future. Thank you!

    Most Exquisite Wedding Cake

    Freedom Bakery did such an amazing job on our cake, it was absolutely exquisite! We are from out of town, but Paul did such a great job of coordinating and working with us on every little detail, he is very knowledgeable and made sure everything worked smoothly. We had a phone call with him as well as many many emails, and he really answered all our questions. We were picking up the cake and driving it through windy hills to get to our venue, but he made sure everything was packed very well, with ice sheets and non-slide sheets, and the cake was fine. We wanted a very specific pillar cake, and gave him a reference picture, and he delivered above our expectations. So many of our guests let us know how sublime they thought the cake looked. Very much recommend Freedom Bakery!

    Exceeding All Expectations

    Freedom Bakery was our Venue's preferred bakery. With this, we lucked out; It made our decision easy. What we did expect however, was how amazing this vendor would be from start to finish. They were SO easy to work with! I shared my vision and they made it come to life even better than I had imagined! They set it up beautifully too! The cake was STUNNING! Such a showstopper! The cascading sugar orchids on the cake were absolutely gorgeous!
    Not only did our cake look exquisite, it was incredibly delicious! We had two flavors: 1. Red velvet with white chocolate cream cheese filling and 2. White cake with chocolate ganache and mousse. Both were spectacular! Our guests raved that it was the best cake they had ever tasted. We had a lot extra so we had the hotel box it up for guests to take as they left. It disappeared quickly! We could not have been any happier with our cake. We did not save the topper, but plan on heading back on our year anniversary to get a fresh cake or slices in our wedding flavors. Excited to support this bakery because they truly are the best of the best!

    The best wedding cake, ever

    veryone at Freedom Bakery is a joy to work with. From the first tasting to our final wedding cake and desserts, Freedom Bakery went above and beyond to provide us with the highest level of quality and service. We chose to have both a wedding cake and cookies served at our wedding and countless guests commented on the fact that the Mango/Coconut cream flavored cake was the best wedding cake they had ever tasted. The cookies were such a hit that instead of having 10-15 extras we were short several. Everything Freedom Bakery makes is outstanding. I can not recommend them enough.

    Thank you!
