Our Wedding Cake ...
Helen Bernhard Bakery, Need we say more? What a fantastic experience working with them. They made the most beautiful custom wedding cake that truly exceeded our expectations! Everyone raved about it not tom mention was the most delicious cake ever! We love the fact that our wedding cake was made by this bakery during their 100th year anniversary. We had a Classically Elegant Style wedding and the Cake was indeed a "Star"!
We cannot thank you enough and will be in as per normal for more yummy baked goods!

Beautiful cake!
Helen Bernhard Bakery was easy to work with! They even made us a little pandemic friendly tasting kit to-go! I was so excited to see our cake on the day of our wedding, it was beautiful. Our florist provided beautiful flowers to add to the cake and we were able to bring our own topper and it came together perfect!Helen Bernhard Bakery was easy to work with!

Great service!
We worked with Pam, she was amazing! She even went above and beyond to make our cake exactly what we wanted! We picked whipped buttercream icing w/ three teared square cake, w/ White choc.& Strwbrry filling, second was PB/ &banana, and 3rd, poppyseed cake w/ lemon. It was the hit of the night! It was gone in minutes! We had it delivered out in sandy without a hitch. Thank you so much for such a wonderful creation! Can’t wait for our anniversary cake!We worked with Pam, she was amazing!

Buying the cake was our favorite part of the wedding! We love Helen Berhnard and our entire experience was flawless. The tasting was fun, the flavors were varied and excellent, and the costs were not too high at all. I love how our cakes turned out. So beautiful! The pink champagne cake is my personal favorite!Buying the cake was our favorite part of the wedding! We love Helen Berhnard and our entire experience was flawless.

Upon recommendation from our wedding day-of-coordinator, we chose Helen Bernhard Bakery to bake our wedding cake and could not be happier. We called right before a busy Mother's Day weekend and they were able to fit us in for a tasting at the last moment, when many of the other bakeries could not. We met with a bakery representative that let us try a variety of flavors of the cake, as well as corresponding frosting and ended up going with the german chocolate cake, red velvet and carrot cake for the 3 tiers. They were super helpful in suggesting which frosting paired best with which cake flavors, and were also able to do a simple ruffled buttercream frosting design (we had our event designer add gold and flowers to the cake after). We were so glad that we opted for the $50 delivery fee to our venue (a little out of the way), since we didn't want to stress about transporting the cake and they were very flexible with the delivery time, even coordinating with our event planner.
It ended up being $3 per slice, compared to about the $5 per slice we were prepared to pay from other vendors and tasted delicious.
We definitely plan on taking advantage of the free anniversary cake, since in the festivities of the wedding, we didn't get a chance to eat much of the actual cake!Upon recommendation from our wedding day-of-coordinator, we chose Helen Bernhard Bakery to bake our wedding cake and could not be happier.

Amazing cake for a great price! We had a 3 tier cake with two layers pink champagne with marionberry and then 1 carrot cake with cream cheese. Both were delicious! The cake looked amazing, white frosting with our colors in accent on the cake. I was so please with how it looked! Tasted great!Amazing cake for a great price!

My fiance and I checked into Helen Bernhard on a whim, and it ended up being our best option! The cake is moist; the frosting amazing; delivery was easy; they let me provide, then assemble, the cake decor. Everyone loved the cake, and the prices are not overblown!

Helen Bernhard Bakery did a fantastic job with our cake! Getting an appointment for a cake consult was nice and easy. The consult went very well, and they were very helpful with creating our wedding cake. Delivery and setup was also great! The cake looked fabulous, and tasted absolutely delicious! One of the highlights for us choosing Helen Bernhard, is that they will make our top layer FRESH on our anniversary!!Helen Bernhard Bakery did a fantastic job with our cake!

I have a sweet tooth, so when it came to our wedding, I won't lie... we had a tall order! My husband and I wanted a small, 2-tiered cake for us and the head table, and another 31 round cakes (6 different flavors) at each table to act as a centerpiece. This was obviously a very large, complicated order, but HB bakery nailed it, and and the cakes and frosting were fresh and delicious!!! The guests loved mingling with other tables and trying different cake flavors. (The key here to make sure guests cut their cake: after my husband and I cut our cake, the DJ prompted our guests to cut their individual cakes using utensils that were at their tables.) HB Bakery also gave us a lot of cake for the price, so it was a great value and we are so happy with them!!

What an amazing cake at an amazing price. We only decided last minute that we wanted a wedding cake and they were able to accommodate a last minute 3 tier, 3 flavored amazing cake that was a huge success with our guest. The cake was absolutely delicious and the price was great too. I told a friend after the wedding what we had paid for that amazing cake and she couldn't believe how reasonable it was!
Also, its worth mentioning that on your 1 year anniversary you can order a small cake for free to celebrate! Gone are the days of eating old, partly defrosted freezer box cake!!!
Lady Benton with a Carmel frosting layer and butter-cream frosting was my favorite!What an amazing cake at an amazing price.

LOVED this cake. Meeting with baker was amazing, as was the price. For 100 people we saved almost double going with these great folks. We chose white chocolate cake with a white chocolate cream frosting. It was amazing. Even the leftovers were great. I would go back again.LOVED this cake.

Our wedding cake was amazing! Even three days later the cake was moist and delicious. We didn't have to worry about freezing the top because they give you a free 9-inch cake on your first anniversary The price is reasonable especially compared to other bakeries in the area.Our wedding cake was amazing!

Helen Bernhard bakery did an excellent job with our wedding cake! They delivered the cake right on time and did an excellent job with the decoration. Unfortunately we only got to taste the little piece that we cut for our cake cutting portion of the wedding but we got plenty of guests commenting on how delicious it was. The cake was gone in no time. We can't wait for our anniversary cake as I am sure it will be just as delicious as it was on our wedding day.

We ordered a cake for our July wedding and had a great experience here. Granted our cake was VERY simple (just frosted, and we had a florist add fresh flowers), we had a wonderful time tasting at the bakery and the staff were always helpful and personable. The cake was delivered without a hitch and looked exactly as we requested. Sadly it was eaten so quickly by our guests we only got our one first bit-- but are looking forward to our anniversary cake next year.
