Lara was easy to work with and out of all the cakes we tried her was EASILY knocking all other bakers out of the park. Her cake and cupcakes were all stunning. I had the most amazing spread. Thank you endlessly :) -

Lara is an absolute maestro when it comes to baking! She flawlessly executed our vision, leaving no donut uneaten at our event—all while making everything dairy-free and incredibly delicious. Her tasting session wowed us, and I'd rebook her in a heartbeat for her scrumptious desserts. Lara's talent and dedication make her an unbeatable choice for anyone seeking delightful, flawlessly executed treats. Thank you, Lara, for making our event a sweet success! -

I hired My Friend's Bakery for my wedding on 11/5/22. Lara is so receptive to your budget and any ideas you have. I had a two-layer cake, one pumpkin with cream cheese frosting, and one vanilla with maple buttercream. I got SO MANY compliments on how delicious and moist the cake was. I plan on having her make a lot of anniversary cakes for me in the future :) -

Lara was wonderful to work with and the cake and mini donuts she baked for our wedding were amazing! From our first meeting with her to the delivery of our cake and desserts on our big day, Lara ensured that everything was perfect. -

I had initially really wanted a Jacques wedding cake, but after looking into their pricing and tasting their sampler box, we were not impressed. I found Lara through a friend's recommendation. She is so amazing! She sketched our cake design for us, it was unlike anything she had made before. I wish I could include a picture to show you how beautiful it was! Not only was it beautiful, it was delicious! We had three flavors in four tiers, and every single flavor was moist and light and full of flavor! Plus, her beautiful cake was half the price of what Jacques charges, for a more delicious cake! I can't recommend Lara enough, she does amazing work! -

Cake was honestly not our biggest priority during wedding planning, but we ended up looking forward to having our wedding cake after we had our tasting with Lara! We got a 6-inch cutting cake with sheet cakes for our guests. We chose the chocolate cake with cream cheese filling and vanilla buttercream frosting. We appreciate how the cake and frosting wasn't too sweet. At the end of the night, our guests expressed that they loved the cake and some even went back for seconds! As we received RSVPs, the guest list ended up being smaller than initially planned and Lara was able to accommodate a smaller order. We really enjoyed working with Lara and would highly recommend My Friend's Bakery! -

Lara made the most incredible cake for us! She provided us with samples of what we wanted to try during the tasting. Our guests raved about how delicious the cake was at wedding. It looked AMAZING. She answered each question I had that came up and helped me understand the process. I can't recommend this bakery enough!My Friend's Bakery's reply:
Thank you Jacquelyn for your kind review! I am so glad that you and your guests enjoyed the cake. Best wishes to you and Aron! -

Emily Sent on 10/17/2020Great Cakes!
My Friend's Bakery made two delicious cakes for our wedding. We wanted a layer of a completely custom coconut cake and a Black Forest groom's cake and this bakery rose to the occasion. Both cakes were absolutely fabulous and some of the best cake I've ever had at a wedding before. The frosting wasn't too sweet and the cake was nice and moist. Not to mention, the cakes were beautiful! Would definitely recommend. -

We knew we were booking Lara for our cake as soon as we met her for our tasting. She is so easy to work with and made our cake exactly the way we wanted it, to go with our white and gold theme. The flavors are incredible, and the cake itself looked stunning. Look no further- highly recommend! -

Stacey Sent on 09/27/2019So beautiful and delicious
Oh my goodness!! Lara at my friends bakery is amazing! She is so friendly, very professional, and clearly talented. From our tasting, to the big day, she was a pleasure to work with. First of all, we received multiple compliments on the design and taste of the cake. People who don’t even like cake were complimenting it. Lara guided our decision marking and allowed us to have 3 different flavors for our 3 tier cake. The cake was delivered on time, and in perfect condition. We cannot wait to break into our cake again on our one year anniversary. I would recommend Lara to anyone and everyone! -

I know many great bakeries around that would be able to do my wedding cake, but I chose My Friend's Bakery. The reason was because she uses Italian meringue buttercream, which is what I prefer. Also, cake tasting was free. I personally am a professional pastry chef, so I was doubting Lara at first. I came in for the tasting with my mother-in-law, who at the time just came from Indonesia, so her palate was still Indonesian palate (most of my guests were Indonesians). We both liked the cake so much. It was very moist and delicious. The buttercream was what I was looking for, so we decided to go with it. On the day of my reception, I could ask for a better cake! All of my guests loved it! The cake was beautiful, better than what I envisioned. I will definitely order another cake from Lara. Highly recommended! -

Mary Sent on 11/19/2018Dessert Bar was a HIT!
Lara was fantastic from start to finish. She was super easy to work with! We did a dessert bar with a small cake for cutting. All our guests raved about our dessert selection. We also did mini cider doughnuts for our favors and the price was right. She also provided us with various decor to display the desserts. I would highly recommend My Friend's Bakery. -

Sarah Sent on 11/18/2018Best desserts ever!!
If you are looking for a cake designer who will surpass your every expectation, please look no further! Lara was an absolute pleasure to work with!! I wish I had another event coming up just so I could hire her again!!
When we first met with Lara, we had very specific ideas in mind. We went in thinking we only wanted a dessert bar but when we saw and tasted her amazing cakes we instantly changed our minds. Our 3 tier birch cake was literally the best looking and most delicious wedding cake I have ever had. We also had a dessert bar that consisted of 5 different (all equally delicious) mini treats. We had cream puffs, chocolate cream pies, apple cider donuts, blueberry and lemon curd tarts, and cheesecake bites.
Not only is Lara amazing at making desserts but she is also amazing at responding in a very timely manor. I was a very indecisive bride went back and forth on what I wanted and emailed Lara several times. Each time she responded very quickly and told me I had up until 2 weeks before the wedding to make my final decision. That right there was a main reason why she is a brides dream vendor. I have no complaints about My Friends Bakery and I HIGHLY recommend Lara. -

The display she set up was gorgeous, and we got so many compliments from our guests about the taste and the overall appearance of our mini cupcakes and cake!! We would highly recommend her to anybody! -

The cake was absolutely BEAUTIFUL and everyone loved the it! So delicious. The buttercream frosting is the best! Thank you Lara for everything! :) -
![Desiree]()
Desiree Sent on 01/10/2015We'll never go to another baker again! This was SUCH a pleasant wedding-planning surprise. My husband and I did NOT want to spend several hundred dollars on a cake for our wedding, BUT we wanted delicious cake regardless. We explained this to Lara of My Friend's Bakery, and asked if she would be willing to do something unconventional. Instead of an elaborately decorated wedding cake, we wanted to do a cake bar - made up of ten cakes of all different flavors - all decorated as they traditionally would be. Lara was game - and immediately excited. She let us custom-design our flavors, which she executed flawlessly (can you say NUTELLA chocolate cake?!?) She encouraged us to be as creative as we wanted, and it resulted in a wedding feature our guests still rave about. Lara threw in use of her own cake stands for our big day, provided worry-free delivery and was just amazing through the whole process. I think I may have become her biggest advertisers since our wedding - one of our guests even copied our cake bar down to the same flavors. (and of course they had Lara re-create them.) She's THAT good. By going with cakes that didn't require elaborate decoration, we were able to please our guests. THe traditional decorations weren't even missed, as the cake bar with all the pretty stands and fancy flavor cards we made up was impressive already. And the taste?!?! Oh. My. God. The cakes were rich and moist and very flavorful. It was very obvious the fillings were homemade. The lime in our "Lime in the Coconut" cake was obviously fresh-squeezed. I would recommend My Friend's Bakery to ANYONE without hesitation. -

Kat Sent on 10/27/2012We chose cupcakes for our wedding cake and I found My Friend's Bakery through an online search. Bob and I went for our cake testing - and her cupcakes we so moist and delicious - we chose her on the spot for our wedding cupcakes. Laura's frosting is what really sold me - it is lightly sweet and very creamy - DELICIOUS! I will place orders for any larger baking needs that I might have in the future. -
![joy]()
Joy Sent on 09/28/2012While looking for a cake, our first baker we scheduled a tasting with stood us up. We were a bit disheartened and nervous when we meat with Lara. Immediately she eased our fears. The samples were DELICIOUS.
My hubby isn't the kind to be too involved in the wedding planning but as soon as he tasted her carrot cake, he immediately decided that's the one! lol I had to agree it was amazing and the reviews from our wedding guests were endless. I already have five people asking for her contact information for their own parties!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -

Beautiful and delicious cake, great communication and easy to work with.
Lara was wonderful to work with for our wedding cake. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. We had a tasting with her and went over the vision of our cake. Her cakes and flavors are absolutely delicious! She created a beautiful cake that was exactly how we pictured it. Our guests raved about the flavors of our cake, and several went back for a second slice. Her delivery was on-time and we were able to rent a cake stand from her for a good price. Overall we highly recommend My Friend’s Bakery! -

Dream Wedding Cake!
My friends bakery has done a lot of occasions for my family, including 3 wedding and 2 birthdays. She took our vision for our wedding cake and display and brought it to life. Not only was it picture perfect but the taste was out of this world. People still rave about how good our cup cakes were and we got married a few months ago! -
