    Best Wedding Cake in Erie

    Wendy and Mark did an amazing job with our wedding cake. It looked exactly as we had envisioned--simple and classy, yet stunning! Each tier had a different flavor, and each one was absolutely delicious. The frosting was hands down the best part--light, tasty, and truly unique to anything else in the Erie area!

    A professional business that will surpass your expectations!

    Wendy and her husband Mark have created a number of cakes for my family and friends and we have never been disappointed. The most recent masterpieces were a shower and wedding cake for my daughter.

    A joy to work with, and a joy to eat!

    Both Wendy and her husband were so pleasant and convenient to work with, and they delivered a gorgeous and delicious 3-tiered cake with 3 different flavors for our wedding day! We would highly recommend working with this vendor!

    Beautiful and Tasty Cake!

    We kept our wedding cake design simple, but it was still the most beautiful wedding cake I’ve ever seen. Better than that, it tasted amazing! We had so many flavors and fillings to choose from that we were able to offer guests a number of incredibly yummy options. We were so lucky to try one of their cakes for my bridal shower as well. This cake tasted wonderful and had a more elaborate design. It was stunning! A beautiful cake makes such a wonderful centerpiece! My husband and I highly recommend It Takes The Cake Bakery!

    Money Cake for 21st birthday

    Wendy and Mark were amazing. I called other places in Erie and they all turned me down when I wanted to put money into the cake. Wendy didn't flinch when I asked and I trusted them without hesitation with the money. Thank you for making my son's 21st birthday a huge surprise with his cake. Excellent service, excellent taste, excellent price.

    Beautiful, Delicious and Professional

    It Takes the Cake did an excellent job on our gorgeous wedding cake!! As a covid bride, wedding planning was so difficult, but one thing I didn’t have to worry about at all was our cake! Wendy and Mark made it so easy when we had to postpone our wedding and kept in touch with us the whole time! Our cake was everything and more!! The fountain we wanted looked beautiful and the design was exactly what we wanted and even more stunning in person! Multiple guests commented on how delicious our cake was and it was the best cake they ever had!! You will be in great hands with Wendy and Mark!!

    Thank you Wendy and Mark for providing the cake and cupcakes for our Wedding Reception. The display was beautiful and everything tasted so good. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how good the cupcakes tasted. My husband and I were so pleased with everything. I definitely recommend It Takes the Cake if you’re looking for good cake and great service.

    I almost had giant eagle do my wedding cake to stay within my wedding budget, but at the last moment I called Wendy from It Takes the Cake and the moment I met her and her husband they had me! They are super nice people, and also know what they are doing! They bake, decorate, and deliver every wedding cake themselves. What really sealed the deal was tasting the cake. Literally the best butter cream I have ever had! I am so happy we went with It Takes the Cake, and we were even able to stay within our budget!

    Wendy was awesome! I wanted a naked cake and when I contacted some other bakers in the area they were not interested in making that sort of cake. Wendy was excited to make it for us and had some some before. We got a 3 tier yellow cake with a lemon filling. At the site she used extra succulent stems that our florist provided and added them to our cake along with our cake topper. It looked and tasted fantastic! We also ordered a cake to have cut a served in the back as well, chocolate chocolate. We ordered 150 slices for a wedding of around 110 guests and we only ended up taking about 10 slices home because everyone loved the cake and some people had more than one slice. She even provides her wedding couples with a free 1st anniversary cake that why you don't have to freeze the top of your cake.

    Wendy was wonderful! She was the sweetest person to work with. She stayed in contact with me every so often to make sure we were on the same page. ( I booked a year in advance.) I started crying (happy tears) when I saw the cake. It was perfect! When it came time to eat it - it was DELICIOUS. We received many compliments on it. I couldn't be happier with Wendy's services.

    I got the bakery's name from my photographer and florist and have never been so thrilled with a referral in my life. Wendy's kind and gentle nature made her incredibly easy to work with and her creativity was evident from the moment we sat down with her to discuss our cake. I'm not a big cake fan and really didn't even care to have one for the wedding, but after our first meeting with Wendy, I changed my tune. Her customization options were endless and her cake and frosting flavor choices ensured that there was something to fit a variety of tastes. The display cake was even more beautiful than I could have imagined. Wendy obviously takes great care in her designs as ours was absolutely flawless. Sometimes cakes that look gorgeous don't taste all that wonderful, but that couldn't be further from the truth in this case. All four cake flavors we chose were spectacular, all were extremely moist, not too sweet, and the flavors were spot on. Her prices were comparable to the other bakeries in the area, actually she came in a bit under them, which made choosing It Takes the Cake even easier. The best part? Everyone loved our cake so much, we only had part of one tier leftover after the reception ended! Can't wait to have her make our fresh 1 year anniversary cake (something she provides to all her wedding customers so you don't have to eat year old, freezer burned cake, ick) and relive one of the tastes of the best day of my life! Thank you, Wendy! :)

    Wendy made us both a beautiful and delicious cake. We were from out of town, so she even offered to pick up our flowers for the cake so we wouldn't have to pay a delivery fee. I am not a cake person, but I could eat this cake every day (and have for the past week)!

    Wendy was amazing. We showed her pictures of what we wanted for both the wedding cake and a grooms cake and she exceeded our expectations. Not only were the cakes exactly what we wanted, but they also tasted great. Our guests raved about how beautiful the wedding cake was and how amazing the groom's cake was. At the end of the night there was no cake left and I saw several people eating a slice of each kind. Any time I needed to call her I got a call back quickly if she was out of the shop. We will defiantly use her for all of our special occasion cakes from now on.

    Very professional and a pleasure to deal with. They send you home with a little cake on your tasting day and even make you a fresh little cake for your one year anniversary! Our cake looked and tasted fantastic! Our wedding guests still rave about the cake :)

    Wendy is absolutely awesome! I did not have a traditional wedding cake and asked for several smaller cakes with different flavors and designs. When I saw my cake table, I was amazed it was so perfect! Exactly what I envisioned! And I don't want to forget to mention all of the 6 flavors of cake were delicious!

    My wedding cake was gorgeous and *so* delicious. We have received lots of compliments on how good the cake tasted! From meeting at their store to my wedding day - everything went perfectly! There was one minor detail that was missed early on that turned out to be a simple misunderstanding solved with a quick phone call. It was no big deal and I was totally satisfied but Wendy took it upon herself to include another small cake I ordered on the house for the trouble. She did not have to go that far but she did and I was very appreciative! It Takes the Cake is run by good business people and they make excellent cakes. I highly recommend It Takes The Cake

    Wendy Adams makes THE BEST CAKES! The are beautiful, they are delicious. They are a great value. She will make a small cake for your first anniversary for free (so you don't have to freeze it). There are so many choices for flavors & frostings. These are literally the best cakes I have ever eaten - and the service is wonderful. Free delivery in the Erie area too.

    Wendy was very easy to get a long with and cared about the customer. She was willing to make sure we got a design that worked for us. The frosting of the cake was the best frosting I have ever tasted and the cake it self was wonderful. I highly recommend using her if you are in the Erie area! Price was very reasonable as well!

    Pros:
    The cake is fabulous! Best cake we've ever tasted.
    Beautiful work.
    Get an anniversary cake for 1 year anniversary so you don't have to freeze the top layer.
    Nice people.

    Cons:
    They are a bit hard to get a hold of.
    Don't take credit cards.
    They went out of town a few days before our wedding, had anything happened to them while they were gone I would have been out of luck! (not really a con, but I just wanted to mention that!)
    Also didn't mention that the sugar pearls we wanted on the cake were our responsibility to track down and purchase as a separate cost on top of the cost of our cake. So extra things on your cake besides the frosting are your own responsibility.
