Beth Sent on 09/07/2019Great, affordable food, amazing staff
Ithaca Bakery was a great find for our DIY barn wedding. They supplied food (with chefs and serving staff), bartender, linens, plates, and silverware - and it was all incredibly affordable. Our catering manager, Shannon, was amazing - so accommodating and responsive. Our guests loved the food, as much as we did! -

Beautiful cupcakes and cake!
I've been going to the Ithaca Bakery my entire life so I knew they had to be a part of the special day. I hired them to make two kinds of cupcakes and a cake for my wedding in October. Months prior to the wedding they were so accommodating with answering all my questions and updating the menu several times. When it came to the wedding, everything went smoothly. There were no issues and everything tasted amazing! I'm so glad I was able to book them and it meant so much to be able to share this special place with all my loved ones. Definitely would 100% recommend booking them for your wedding! -

User2501952 Sent on 01/11/2016We sought out Ithaca Bakery primarily for our wedding cake, but also ended up using them to cater our wedding related wine tour-- and both choices were well made! We started with a very positive experience with cake tasting. While We knew what kind of 'look' we were going for, we were fairly deeply divided on taste preferences. Though it may seem obvious to some, given that we had selected a two-level cake, it was a revelation to have our coordinator Heather suggest NOT compromising-- and making one level 'his' and one level 'hers'. To me, this was genius and something I had not considered as a viable option. With this idea, we efficiently concluded our plans and waited on our cake.
In the mean time, plans were evolving that required some sort of snack/lunch catering service. We went to Ithaca Bakery in hopes that they could simplify our lives once again and we received variety platters ( one cheese board, one hoagie platter) that delighted our guests (and our wallets). We were impressed with the quality of the items we received! -
User2367333 Sent on 10/14/2015We wanted a simple wedding cake for our restaurant reception because dessert was already being served. The crew at Ithaca bakery was a huge help! We got a 10 in. buttercream cake with raspberry ganache and it was so delicious! We did not want any crazy decorations, just simple whipped icing and they nailed it. The best part was the price- $30 for a four layer, 1 tier, 30 in cake! -
User1703003 Sent on 07/09/2014Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! I was working with them long distance and did not get to meet with them in person until about 2 weeks before the wedding, but that was all I needed. I worked with Kim for the catering and she was great! She came out and visited my venue to check things out and on the day of literally took care of everything! I made a lot of decorations for the reception and every single thing was placed exactly where I had imagined it. I did not hear one bad thing about the food either!

Ithaca Bakery did a fantastic job on my wedding cake. I am from the Ithaca area, I had Ithaca Bakery make my high school graduation cake, and I always try to make a point to stop by when I’m in town, so once I knew I was getting married in the finger lakes area I was set on having them bake my wedding cake. We ended up going with a small cutting cake (which was very reasonably priced) and a bunch of cupcakes. Their dessert is so incredible. I was able to choose 4 different cupcake flavors (chocolate, vegan vanilla, apple cinnamon, and red velvet) and rent a cupcake stand to display them at the venue. They delivered to my venue without any problems and were able to add the floral topping to the cake once they got there. It was a little hard to get ahold of them sometimes through email, but they were always very responsive when I called. I will always recommend Ithaca Bakery and I’m so glad I chose them for my wedding cake. -

User2484894 Sent on 12/29/2015We used Ithaca Bakery for our wedding cake and are really happy we did; the cake was gorgeous, delicious and very affordable. We knew that we wanted a 'naked' carrot cake and Heather and her staff were able to execute exactly what we were looking for. We provided a few pictures and were very impressed with the outcome. We dropped off our cake topper and flowers which they beautifully incorporated.
To keep costs down we went with a two layer cake and then ordered a sheet cake for service; there was no difference in the quality and actually made service quicker than breaking down the layer cake.
We had a few guests with nut allergies; IB was not able to accommodate making a smaller cake without nuts for these guests. This lack of flexibility is the only negative from the experience. Overall, very happy we went with Ithaca Bakery for our cake. -
User2291340 Sent on 08/29/2015Ithaca Bakery provided all of the catering, bar, rentals, and wedding cake and desserts for our wedding. We had a great experience working with Niki and Ithaca Bakery and would definitely recommend them. Everything was just what we wanted, and they remembered all of the details we had discussed. Everything arrived on time and was set up beautifully. The staff were very professional, friendly, and unobtrusive. The food was great! We had several passed hors-d'oeuvres, and Cornell BBQ chicken, salmon, and pesto ravioli for dinner. The chicken and fish were grilled on site so they were very fresh, and we got lots of compliments on the food. They also made a nice vegan polenta for our one vegan guest. For dessert, they provided a small wedding cake and an assortment of mini-pies and cupcakes that were absolutely delicious. My only complaint would be that I often waited a number of days to hear back from them during the planning process. However, on the day of our wedding everything was perfect and we were very happy. -
User1019857 Sent on 11/18/2012Ithaca Bakery was great to work with for our wedding. We both were familiar with their bakery and was excited to choose them to cater our wedding. We had two free food tastings and were even invited back for a third. They changed our menu at our request time and again, were great in price, and helped us meet our budget. We also had tons of comments from our guest on how wonderful the wedding food was and how different some of the choices were! They had lots of both vegetarian and meat options to keep everyone happy and were a joy to work with for our wedding.
