Jennie D. Sent on 07/24/2023Excellent Celestial Cakes!
I sincerely applaud Ashley Wilson with the Papa Hadyn Buttercream Line for her excellent communication in answering our questions leading up to crafting our celestial watercolor cakes with Stargate toppers. They were a gem at our wedding. -

We are so happy we decided to go with Papa Haydn for our wedding! Ashley designed our cake exactly to our vision and EVEN BETTER than we ever could have expected. We thought the cake was delicious at our tasting, but the wedding day absolutely knocked our socks off. After our tasting, we loved the flavors but wanted more of a berry vibe, and she suggested two flavors—chocolate ganache with fresh raspberries, and lemon curd with huckleberry compote, both frosted with buttercream. She was even able to accommodate our vegan and gluten-free guests with mini cakes on the side. Sooooo good! Thank you guys for making our day perfect! -

Papa Haydn never ceases to amaze our taste buds! We knew when we got engaged that we had to get our wedding cake through them and they did not disappoint! The flavors were fantastic as well as the presentation! -

Papa Haydn has always been one of our favorites! Our wedding cake was the raspberry poppy seed and it was amazing! Ashley Wilson, the cake designer, was flexible and very accommodating. Great communication on design and pick up. Our cake turned out perfect. -

Vanessa Sent on 10/01/2018Our wedding cake from Ashley at Papa Haydn was beautiful and delicious! Ashley was wonderful to work with and made sure we would be happy with the final result. She made us a beautiful four tiered cake with gold foil. We went with two different flavors— chocolate for two tiers and vanilla with lemon curd for the other two tiers. Also noteworthy is you get a free anniversary cake! You don’t have to save or freeze part of your wedding cake for your first anniversary. They make you a fresh one instead. We thought this was very thoughtful and a nice point of difference from other bakeries. Thank you Ashley and Papa Haydn! We loved our cake and so did our guests! -

Laine Sent on 10/07/2018Ashley is incredible. We had a bad experience with a bakery before finding her, so we were really nervous to meet her. She arranged a beautiful tasting for us and helped us pick flavors and how much cake we needed. Day of, our cake was absolutely beautiful and exactly what we had discussed. Hands down, we got the most compliments on our cake. Pretty much EVERY person at our wedding told us how amazing the cake was. We provided to-go boxes and I was glad we had snagged some for ourselves because ALL of it was taken. All of this and we get an anniversary cake, which we have already talked about multiple times!! THANK YOU to Ashley for making our vision come true.

Kay Sent on 10/15/2018We have nothing but great things to say about Ashley and the amazing cake she provided for our wedding. We had a very specific vision in mind and had been discouraged or flat out told no by several other shops in town. Ashley never once said it was impossible, walked us through the steps she would need to take to provide us the cake and offered suggestions to help enhance what we envisioned . The whole process was amazing and we look forward to many more cakes from Ashly and Papa Haydn's for years to come.

Brooke Sent on 06/08/2018Nothing negative to say! Working with Ashley was a breeze, she was attentive to our vision and helped guide is the right direction for what would work for us and our budget. She was also incredibly helpful in figuring out what would work best for decor and styling with the cakes we had chosen. We both love Papa Haydn desserts so much that we special ordered several of their menu classics, along with an simple and elegant cutting cake for my husband and I. You can't go wrong with Papa Haydn!

Dani Sent on 10/09/2017I don't have a single negative thing to say about our wedding cake from Papa Haydn. Everything about it was absolutely perfect, from the appearance to the taste and texture. It looked gorgeous, exactly what I had wanted. Ashley was fantastic and very accommodating with our vision. We wanted 4 flavors, with enough of each flavor to not run out of any. We ended up with 230 servings of cake for 110 guests, and allowed guests to take pieces home and we still only had about 4 pieces left for us to take home ourselves. Everyone said how good it was, even those who usually aren't "cake people". The price was on par with every other bakery we looked at, even though the quality was far better. We can't wait for our anniversary cake in a year! I'll be recommending Papa Haydn to everyone. -
Diana Sent on 11/19/2017My (now) husband and I booked an appointment with Ashley at Papa Haydn East for a wedding cake tasting thinking there was no way we could afford one of their famously beautiful and delicious wedding cakes, but at least we’d get some free cake! The cake was of course to die for (banana cake with cinnamon cream cheese frosting is the flavor I never knew my life was missing), but what really blew us away was Ashley’s expertise. We came in thinking we’d ask for a quote on cupcakes and a small cutting cake to save money, but Ashley suggested making our dollars stretch further by having three separate “side cakes” instead, each in a different flavor, a different buttercream texture on the outside, and fresh flowers on top. She sketched out a mock-up of what it would look like, assuring us it would be unexpected and dramatic and IT WAS! We actually went under budget for our wedding cake, and it was everything we could have dreamed of and more. When the cakes were delivered the day of the wedding (the Sunday before Labor Day), we didn’t even see the wonderful person who set everything up and placed our cake topper just right. Our guests loved it, we even got to eat some at the wedding, and we kept on eating it for the next two days before leaving for the honeymoon! Now all that’s left is to decide what flavor to order for our complimentary first anniversary cake… that might be the toughest obstacle of our marriage so far.

Ryan Sent on 09/30/2017We loved working with Ashley at Papa Haydn. I can honestly say now that the planning is over our favorite part of the entire process, except the actual wedding day, was the cake tasting. She made us feel so comfortable and took her time asking us about our day and what we wanted in our cake. I cannot tell you how many compliments we got on the cake. So many people told us how delicious and my husband and I almost couldn't stop eating it at the wedding. We took home our cutting cake and ate it with friends and family the next day and it was so delicious. They were professional, on time, and efficient, and the pricing can't be beat in Portland. I would highly recommend and we will definitely be ordering cakes from Papa Haydn again soon. -

Breanna Sent on 10/21/2017I loved working with Ashley! She was always super responsive and helped me several times with the design since I wasn't sure what I wanted. I went with buttercream since I had heard that fondant didn't taste great and it cost more and it still looked (and tasted) amazing the day of! I highly recommend!
