    Delicious poundcake!

    Graul's Market Ruxton made our perfect wedding cake. It was delicious. They have been in the business of wedding cakes forever and I know why. We got many compliments on the delicious cake. It also was gorgeously decorated!

    Delicious Cake! Incredible Pricing

    Grauls Market in Annapolis did an amazing job for our wedding cake. The pricing was WAY cheaper than any other local wedding bakeries as well. We ordered a 2 tiered cake and big sheet cake to be cut for all guests, and Grauls delivered the cake no issues. For tasting, they gave us a free tasting kit to take home with multiple cake/filling/icing flavors to decide our combination which ended up being amaretto cake with raspberry filling and buttercream icing. We ordered about 6 months in advance by going into the bakery, discussing sizes, emailed them a picture of the design we wanted, and they ran with it. On wedding day, we had the cake served to guests, and everyone loved it!

    Delicious Cake and Great Value

    Graul's market was so easy to work with and was so flexible with what we wanted. We wanted a traditional wedding cake and other bakeries were charging way more than our budget. Graul's made a beautiful and delicious cake for less than half the cost, and they delivered! We met with them for the tasting and they helped us customize a design. Everyone at the wedding said the cake was delicious, we particularly loved the almond cake!

    Graul's Market's reply:

    Sarah,
    Thank you for your wonderful review. We hope you had a beautiful wedding. Remember to contact us a week or so before your anniversary for your free anniversary cake.

    I love Grauls!

    It was wonderful working with the Grauls bakery to design my daughter’s wedding cake. The Bride and groom presented their ideas, agreed to a size and cake layers and voila…the cake was perfect. We loved having both vanilla and chocolate layers. Purchasing an additional sheet cake allowed us to keep the cake a manageable size.

    Graul's Market's reply:

    Thank you and we are honored to be part of your daughter's wedding. We will contact you next year to arrange your free 1st year Anniversary cake.

    Beautiful cake

    Our cake prepared by Tiara was both beautiful and delicious! Our guests loved it and the process leading up to the wedding was very easy and organized.

    Affordable and Delicious!

    We used Graul’s for our wedding cake and cupcakes for guests. We went with a semi-naked red velvet layer cake. Delicious flavors and so much more affordable than other bakeries. We had our florist add flowers to the cake and it was STUNNING. Couldn’t recommend more!

    Amazing cake at an amazing price

    We worked with Tiara at the Annapolis Graul’s location for our wedding cake and we could not have wished for more. Tiara was an absolute joy to work with - so friendly, professional, and competent. She executed our vision to perfection, and the flavors were amazing. You also literally cannot beat the price for this area!! Thank you for making my dream wedding cake!

    Graul’s Market in Ruxton’s bakery is Baltimore’s best kept secret! I grew up in Baltimore so their Ruxton location wasn’t too far from us. Growing up, my favorite birthday cake was their almond pound cake with almond buttercream icing. So when my now husband and I were thinking about cake options for our wedding I knew immediately that Graul’s was one of the places we had to try. Turns out they were the only bakery we need to try. My husband, who is not a cake person, drooled over the almond pound cake – so it was decided. Our wedding cake would be almond pound cake with almond butter cream icing. It’s such a favorite of my family’s that my mom ordered a sheet cake of the almond pound cake for my bridal shower. She also ordered their scrumptious red velvet cake with cream cheese icing for our rehearsal dinner. If you are looking for a cake with the perfect ‘crumb’ and icing that is to die for, look no further. Graul’s is your place!

    June,
    Thank you for being a long time Graul's customer, we love our customers. And our bakery is the best and thank you for helping spread the word.

    We ordered two cakes for our wedding from Graul's; a 3-tiered lemon cake and a full sheet carrot cake. We definitely ordered way too much cake for our wedding (about 200 servings for 97 people) but we barely had any left at the end of the night, it was that good! The bakery was super easy to work with as well; Kate was very responsive to all of our questions about styling, cake tasting, and ordering. The cake was delivered promptly with decor items for the caterer to finish it off (edible flowers provided by Graul's as well). I would highly recommend Graul's to everyone!

    Graul's Market's reply:

    Melissa, we wish you a long and happy marriage. I am glad your guests, you and your spouse loved the cake.

    We were looking for a delicious but affordable wedding cake and Graul's definitely delivered! We were able to get three different flavors and all were great. Guests kept asking where the cake was from! Everything was exactly as we wanted it based on the picture we shared and the cake was delivered on time. We can't wait to have it again on our one year anniversary!

    I was so happy with how beautiful and delicious our wedding cake turned out. We had Graul's deliver our cake to York, PA for our reception and it tasted even better at the wedding then it did when we tried our samples. Our guests are still complementing us on how delicious the cake was. Thank you Graul's for delivering such a great wedding cake for our special day!

    We chose Graul’s bakery for our wedding cake because my parents used them 34 years ago and still rave about how delicious their cake was. All these years later Graul’s did not disappoint! We loved the cake tasting because we were able to schedule a time to pick up the cake flavors (in cupcake form), icing options, and filling options, take them home, and mix and match them to decide which combination we liked the best. The cake itself was delicious and the simple buttercream icing with 3 white roses on top looked beautiful. We would highly recommend Graul’s!

    Cannot beat Graul's prices and service.
    Even when I was nervous about quality 1 week before the wedding, they provided a sample pound cake to pick up to calm my fears.

    We shopped around a few bakeries and when we discovered the pricing and quality of Grauls it was a no-brainer. Their cake is amazing. After our tasting at Grauls, it was so difficult to choose just 2 flavors for a 2 layer cake so we decided to order a ton of mini cupcakes in many flavors and they were such a hit with our guests. Everyone loved them!

    Hidden Gem

    Graul's was an absolute pleasure to work with. They provided a beautiful cake for our special day and the taste exceeded our expectations. Our wedding guests were calling us the next day asking if we had any leftovers. I highly recommend Graul's bakery for your wedding day bakery needs. The price was great and not to mention they provide you with an anniversary on your 1-year wedding anniversary. A+ from our family !!

    Graul's Market's reply:

    Thank you so much for the wonderful review, I will share this with our bakers and decorators. We hope you have a long and happy marriage. We will email you the month before your wedding to schedule your anniversary cake.

    Graul's Market is a wonderful choice for those who appreciate value and taste over expensive, dry, tasteless options. Graul's Market was able to design our two cakes beautifully based on the pictures provided. Beyond the presentation, we received several compliments on our cake's taste. Even to this day family and friends are asking about our cake and have gone to purchase their own cakes from Graul's Market even though they do not live in the area. Other specialty bakeries charge anywhere from $4-$9 per slice in the area and when we went for tastings at other bakeries we weren't particularly pleased. Graul's offered a better taste and a better value, so it was a no brainer! We are looking forward to enjoying our anniversary cake next year.

    During my wedding planning, I remembered an old friend of mine recommending Graul's for wedding cakes. We were able to take home the tasting kit and do the tasting in the comfort of our own home. We ordered a 3 tier rum flavored cake with buttercream icing. The cake was delicious! We have the rest of the cake that wasn't cut in our freezer, and it is still scrumptious! Megan was very professional, and our cake was beautiful. Also, you simply can't beat their prices. They are probably the best value that you will find. I definitely recommend ordering your wedding cake from Graul's Market!

    Graul's Market wedding cakes are one of the best secrets in the business! While a lot of bakeries charge ~$6-7/slice in this area, which would have amounted to $1000 for our 150-person wedding, Graul's provided a huge cake at a very affordable rate. I believe our cake was $400, and we could have easily gone a size smaller--there was a huge excess of leftover cake, and plenty of guests had multiple slices. If you've heard that the best affordable cake option is a small cake to cut and sheet cakes in the back--forget that idea! You'll pay no less for a large cake at Graul's than you would have for that combo, and you won't have to compromise at all in the process.

    Delicious, delicious cake and you CANNOT beat the prices for the Baltimore-DC area! Also, Tona was lovely to work with and kindly accommodated last-minute changes when more people RSVP'ed no than we had expected. I recommend getting a small, 3-tier cake and then the remainder can be sheet cake to save money -- your guests will never know. I also especially recommend the classic yellow cake w/ buttercream icing & carrot cake. We also LOVE that they offer a complimentary 1-year anniversary cake so you don't have to worry about saving the top of the cake!
