    The owner(s) are fantastic! Everytime we went in there to drop off a photo or ask a question, she sent us home with a box of mini cupcakes! They are the sweetest people and willing to work with you to make your day special! They have great suggestions and are very knowledgeable at what they do! The cake and mini cupcakes are VERY TASTY!

    Bethany made us the most perfect cake for our small, art-gallery wedding. We chose Earl Grey Cake, with lemon curd filling and Lavender Frosting. It was so delicious, and beautiful, and could not have been more perfect!

    Goodness Cakes was by far one of the top favorite vendors we hired for our wedding on 12/16/2017. We dealt primarily with Bethany, who was (and still is) a joy to work with. We had a 3-tier cake that was beautifully decorated and she made everything so easy for us, plus they let you come in and sample flavors monthly every month until your wedding to help you decide on your flavors.

    We're looking so forward to our free 1-year anniversary cake (no freezer-burned cake for us!) and we're planning on going to them for birthdays/other occasions in between! Goodness Cakes is a joy to work with, and our guests could not stop raving about their cake.

    You'd be fools to go with anyone else!

    We wanted min cupcakes and a small cutting cake for our wedding, and couldn't find many places that offered mini cupcakes. We tried Goodness Cakes and Bakery and were pleasantly surprised by how many flavor options they had. You get to taste the 4-5 flavors they have that month at the initial tasting, and then you can stop by each month to try the next 4-5 they feature for the month- how unique! They even make you a brand new cake for your 1 year anniversary so you don't have to suffer through freezer burned cake :) Not having a website or email to work with was a bummer, but they were only a call or quick stop away. The shop has a very easy going armosphere, and we were both pleased with their price, taste, and service!

    My wife and I were married July 15, 2016. We had a great taste testing experience at Goodness cakes and I was sold on the quality and taste of their product. I really thought I was going to break the bank with the price of the cake with over 100 guests, (plus we wanted a 2 flavor cake) but I almost hit the floor with relief when was told the price! The best quality ingredients, personal service, great communication ie: e mails and phone calls with final preparations, and to top it off they make a mini replica of your cake for your 1st anniversary! We didnt have to freeze the top of our cake! They make us a little one! I loooooved that! So I look forward to seeing Goodness Cakes in July...but many times before then too! You know we had to buy a couple of tarts! everything there is heavenly! You willl not be disappointed and you will be extremely happy with the quality and service! Annie & Kim Brown

    Perfect Wedding Cake!

    This place was recommended to us by a family friend and we're glad that we chose them. The owners were so sweet and thoughtful. Any flavor combinations we wanted they gave us.

    AMAZING and delicious cake. Customized to our desires. Rather than come in and have a tasting at one time, Goodness Cakes allows you to come back every month for a free piece of their flavor of the month to try out their different options. White chocolate raspberry and Irish Cream made the final cut, as well as confetti. They were so easy to work with and the cake was delivered on time and in perfect condition. Everyone loved it. I'm going back this week to pick up a cake for New Years Eve.

    Goodness Cakes is awesome. We tried cakes from multiple places (it's the best part of wedding planning!). Goodness Cakes' "wedding cake" flavor was by far the best cake/cupcakes we tasted. We went with a mini cake for us and four different flavors of mini cupcakes for the reception guests. You can tell they use great ingredients. They have many other mini pastry selections too. I would highly suggest using Goodness Cakes.

    Beth and Nick are wonderful to work with.

    By providing us with samples of their cake flavors, we were able to select the perfect mix of Pumpkin and Carrot layers for a beautifully decorated fall theme wedding cake.

    The guests raved about the look of the cake as well as the taste. Many stated that the Carrot Cake was the best they had ever had!!

    We were amazed at the very reasonable prices Beth and Nick have set for their scrumptious wedding cakes.

    We would highly recommend Goodness Cakes for all your baking needs, whether big or small.

    Our wedding cake was fabulous! I am a chocoholic, so I wanted a chocolate ganache icing. Not only was that delicious, but the cake itself was very moist, and beautiful too. The owners are friendly and courteous and more than willing to offer suggestions for the design of the cake. And we get a free anniversay cake next year-what more could you ask for? I will be going back in the near future to get a smaller version of our wedding cake because it was soooo good! Skip the big bakeries and go to Goodness Cakes (for goodness sake)-you'll be very happy you did.

    Goodness Cakes made the wedding cake and cupcakes for my daughter's wedding in August 2011. Bethany and Nick were absolutely delightful to work with! The cake was beautiful and delicious. Each little cupcake (we had a variety of flavors and designs) was a work of art, and Nick displayed them beautifully at the reception on the tiered cupcake tree we made. Our guests raved about them! I would HIGHLY recommend Goodness Cakes -- excellent quality, reasonable prices, and extremely friendly and professional service. You can't go wrong with these folks!

    They are awesome, they envisioned exactly what I wanted and made it work! The cake is to die for and all my guests raved that it was one of the best wedding cake ever. It was hot outside and my 3 tier cake didn't melt and stayed in tact!

    Goodness Cake Bakery is by far the best bakery you can get your wedding cake from. My husband and I had mini cupcakes for our wedding and everyone raved at how delicious they were. I can't thank them enough for doing a great job!

    Goodness Cakes are the best tasting cakes you'll ever find for your wedding! People kept telling me I had to use them, and I'm so glad I did. Delish. The only thing I was a little disappointed in was that the cake itself looked much smaller than I thought it would be, but I honestly didn't pay much attention to how it was going to look as I was planning anyway. The flavor made up for it in spades!

    Yum! I got my wedding cake from Goodness Cakes on University Ave. It was a 4 tier chocolate cake with white butter cream frosting and it was DELICIOUS! I went to many bakeries before I chose Goodness Cakes and they are by far the best tasting, best looking and best price in Rochester! My wedding guests were raving about it. Thank you Goodness Cakes!

    Goodness Cakes made a wonderful cake for my wedding and were very flexible when I changed my mind about what I wanted. They were a pleasure to work with and, most importantly, the cake was delicious. I wish I could post a photo of my cake here -- it was beautiful.

    I love Goodness Cakes! They are the sweetest people, with the most beautiful and delicious cakes. Bethany listened to all of my requests and patiently helped me figure out what I wanted. The cake was absolutely perfect, and so delicious that my Mom had three pieces. I highly recommend them for their professional service and kind attention.

    Wedding cakes are often about compromise. I've seen gorgeous cakes that taste like sawdust and tasty cakes that look to have been decorated with a snow shovel.

    Such is not the case at this hidden gem in Rochester's art district. This mom and pop team (ok, barely older than I am, but it's nice to see a married couple running a business like in the good old days) but together a delicious, beautiful cake. They're also loads of fun to talk to about their trade.

    Don't forget, too, that unique cake from an indie bakery is a great way to spruce up a birthday or anniversary. Heaven knows that our wedding cake is far from the only thing we've gotten here :)

    Goodness cakes is a small bakery right on University Avenue. The owners/bakers are a wonderful couple that we personable and fun. They do beautiful work and have the most amazing wedding cake!!! I had the four layer white wedding cake with thin layers of chocolate in between each layer with a vanilla bean frosting. They were very helpful in deciding how big to make the cake and could have put the real flowers on instead of the florist if I wanted them to. As far as the 4/5 for flexibility they were not able to do a large or large looking wedding cake. It was a bit smaller than I thought it would be when I saw it in person. They also do not do fake layers so if you are looking for one of those huge magazine cakes that stand as tall and wide as the bride this might not be your first pick. The size was accurate for the number of people that attended, just not what I was aiming for. The prices and the quality are by far the best in the city!

    I used Goodness Cakes for my wedding cake and they did a wonderful job. I had tried wedding cakes across the spectrum - one baker had so many unique, mouth watering flavors but she was very expensive and another place was much cheaper but there were no options and the frosting was that gross sugary sweet taste that leave a bad after taste in your mouth. Goodness Cakes is in the middle -- they offer a lot of varieties and at an affordable price. My cake was 4 tiered with two different flavors. I went with a spice cake with ginger cream cheese frosting (I had a fall wedding) and a tradition wedding cake (white with white frosting and a thin layer of chocolate ganache). The owners of Goodness Cakes were great to work with. They understood my vision and decorated the cake beautifully! My guests raved about the cake too -- one said it was the best wedding cake she tried! If you're in the area I highly recommend that you stop by Goodness Cakes and try a sample of their traditional wedding cake!

    And an added bonus...instead of saving the top tier for our one year anniversary, they give you a free voucher to order a complimentary cake on your anniversary (instead of being disappointed and eating a freezer burned gross cake)!
