    Adorable and tasty cake

    They did a great job on the cake. It looked exactly like what I wanted! It’s also delicious and they provided a good serving size that all my guests could enjoy it.

    Beautiful, delicious classic cake

    Beautiful classic design on the cake, which was also great-tasting. They incorporated flowers from our florist as well as an elegant, understated frosting pattern. They offered good strategies for incorporating a gluten free cake as well as sheet cakes to feed additional guests.

    Delicious and Beautiful

    I can't say it enough how WONDERFUL Ohlson's Bakery was to work with. She made a beautiful cake at an amazing price, it was also the MOST delicious cake we tasted during our wedding tastings. She even took my swatches to match the flowers on the cake! She was kind, professional and an overall pleasure to work with! She even let me use my grandmother's cake topper and built a base for it so it would fit perfectly on top! The best part, they will bake you a FRESH anniversary cake when it is your one year, so you don't have to defrost and eat a frost bit cake! I would HIGHLY recommend them if you want a memorable and remarkable cake on you wedding. My guests all kept raving about how moist and yummy the cake was!

    Excellent and prefect

    The fake flowers made out of sugar and other edible stuff looked real! The colors matched my wedding colors, and wedding flowers, it was gorgeous! It also tasted amazing! Was buttercream with vanilla Raspberry marble.
    I got their assorted mini pastry tray, a couple assorted butter cookie trays ( which are totally addicting by the way) and 3 of their Terimesu's! Tarimesu is my favorite dessert! I paid an extra 50 to have them drop it off at the wedding venue for me. Was all perfect and reasonably priced!

    Ohlson’s did an outstanding job on our cake for an outstanding price! We loved how beautiful the cake was! We could not have had a more delicious cake! The detail on it and design was perfect— everything I wanted and more! You cannot go wrong if you book Ohlson’s for your wedding cake!

    Great Experience !

    Ohlson's Bakery was great to work with and the final product was exactly like pictures/ideas of what we wanted the cake to look like. Due to the pandemic we ended up having two very small wedding receptions and Ohlson's was able to make some last minute changes to our order and create two identical wedding cakes. Not only were they both beautiful, but they were also delicious !!

    Beautiful, Delicious, Great to work with!

    This bakery is so lovely to work with. Their staff is warm and welcoming and the finished product was perfect. Their pricing was very reasonable and much better than other popular bakeries in Buffalo! Would absolutely recommend them to anyone in the area!

    Ohlson's bakery is simply amazing

    I had heard nothing but positive reviews from Ohlson's Bakery, yet somehow they were able to exceed my expectations for our wedding cake. They were able to create a cake that not only looked amazing but also tasted as good as it looked. They were able to take all of my design wishes and turn them into reality and I could not have asked for a better experience working with them. Their delivery was timely and professional as well, and they took care of everything on the day of the wedding, eliminating all of my worries. We would highly recommend Ohlson's Bakery for weddings or any special occasion.

    From the Testing to the wedding day, everything was perfect!

    The planning group at Ohlsons was on point the entire process. Their cakes had an incredible reputation and everyone was stunned by how beautiful and tasty the wedding cake was. I love that both my husband and I got the flavors we each love and truly enjoyed the entire experience with them!

    Upon meeting we tasted several cakes, fillings, frostings and were able to pick exactly what we wanted. I had no idea what kind of a cake I wanted, but was provided magazines to look through and found the perfect cake. The bakery took care of everything making it absolutely perfect.

    The most beautiful AND delicious wedding cake EVER!

    The title says it all! I can't say how many people came up to me telling me that this was one of the most delicious wedding cakes they'd ever had, and not to mention the cake it self looked gorgeous! usually you get one of the other, but not with Ohlson's. Lisa was so kind during our meeting to discuss flavors and styles and was very willing to work with us to make it look exactly how we wanted. Thank you to Ohlson's for the best wedding cake ever!

    Great tasting cake - looked great too!

    Cake tasting was the appointment that everyone wanted to attend. We showed up at Ohlson's with 6 people in tow and they didn't bat an eye at letting them all taste with us. We tasted a few cakes around Buffalo, and this cake base was definitely the best - moist, fresh, and delicious! Lisa was great to work with, suggesting designs for us to react to, and being flexible when we asked for changes. Everything was delivered to the venue with no issue (as far as we know!) and it's a nice touch that they give you a free cake on your one year anniversary so you don't have to keep the top layer in your freezer! I highly recommend hiring Lisa and Ohlson's for your big day!

    Delicious Cake

    Ohlson's Bakery made the cake for my wedding. It was amazing and everyone loved it! I went with a cake from their 300 series and it was perfect! Affordable and delicious. I would recommend Ohlson's Bakery for any party or event.

    Delicious and beautiful wedding cake

    We hired Ohlson's Bakery for our October Wedding. We purchased a 3 tier display cake, 2 sheet cakes and a package of gluten free cupcakes. We also did a birthday cake for a guest of ours who was celebrating a birthday on our wedding day. From the first tasting to the delivery, everything with Ohlson's was perfect. But, most importantly, the cakes were DELICIOUS! Our guests raved about the cake all night and our guests with dietary restrictions were absolutely ecstatic to be included with the gluten free cupcakes. Thank you, Ohlson's for making our wedding cake a highlight of our evening!

    Felt like Family

    The moment we stepped into Ohlson's bakery it felt like home. They are Christian based and it feels like a small town bakery/cafe. We had a wonderful little cake tasting and there are replicas of cakes to choose from and an ipad with so many cake decorating ideas! We love the 300 series because it fit perfectly in our budget. They were even able to customize our cake and mix and match within that series. We loved our cake: it was beautiful and delicious. We picked the almond cake. We had ~110 wedding guests and there was more than enough cake for them with the whole top left over! The cake could definitely feed 130 guests as advertised.
    Also, if you have time grab some breakfast too!

    Amazing desserts, beautiful wedding cake!

    Ohlson's did an amazing job with all of our wedding desserts! We decided to do a smaller cake and dessert table at our wedding and everything was delicious! They were extremely accommodating to all our requests and were great to work with! Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for delicious affordable wedding cakes and/or other desserts for any events! Everything they make is delicious!

    Ohlson’s was fantastic to work with! Neither I nor my husband really like cake so we wanted something rather inexpensive and we were also having a small wedding so we didn’t need a huge cake. However, after we tasted Ohlson’s we were totally blown away! They ended up being the first and last place we visited because we knew we wouldn’t find anywhere better. Our cake turned out beautiful and still didn’t cost an arm and a leg. We are definitely going to give them more of our business for future events!

    Married on 8/25/18

    Our cake created by Ohlson's was exactly what we wanted. The staff was extremely patient and helped create a cake we would love to eat over and over again. The pricing was extremely fair for what we chose. Ohlson's will work with you to ensure your money does not go to waste. When it came to the cake itself, all the flavors were so decadent! Whenever we get together with guests who attended the wedding, they rave about how amazing the cake was and wish they had more. Thank you Ohlson's!
