    The Best Cake

    One of the best cakes we have ever eaten. (Strawberry layers and vanilla almond layers) So moist and flavorful! Enjoyed our cake tasting day, but it was even better for the actual wedding! Everyone loved it!

    Amazing!

    Our wedding cakes were so BEAUTIFUL and tasted AMAZING! We had a three tier almond bread cake with two fillings, as well as a grooms layered cookie cake and we have had so many compliments on them! Not only were the cakes so delicious but the service was even better! Pennington’s cakes always took our calls and made the process so easy and fun! We are beyond thankful and so happy with how everything turned out! Thank you all so much!

    Pennington's Cakes's reply:

    Congrats, Erika! And thanks so much for your kind words. We were thrilled to be a part of your big day!

    Absolutely Amazing

    Pennington Cakes went above and beyond our expectations. They delivered a stunning cake that tasted absolutely amazing. The owner was extremely flexible and customized our cake exactly the way we wanted it. We also ordered sugar cookies from them that were a major hit with all of our guests. As an added bonus they are extremely affordable. Highly recommend for all your dessert needs. You won’t be disappointed!

    Pennington's Cakes's reply:

    Thanks, Courtney! And congratulations!! We are thrilled the cake and cookies were a hit! Wish you and husband many blessings and a long and happy life together!!

    Highly recommend Pennington's Cakes

    Pennington's Cakes baked two fabulous cakes for our daughter's wedding. Pennington's made the cakes perfectly to our specifications and both cakes were beautiful, moist, and delicious! The cakes were delivered and set up just like we wanted! We highly recommend using them for your wedding!

    Highly recommend!

    I had a great experience with Pennington! My guests raved about how tasty it was, and we overheard lots of Mmmms!

    We ordered chocolate with raspberry filling. Sometimes there’s not enough filling, but this was the Perfect filling to cake ratio! So moist - and the presentation was exactly what I’d asked for! So happy with it

    Thank you, Rachel and congrats again! We are thrilled to hear your cake was a hit! Many blessings to you!

    Best cake ever, exceeded my expectation!!

    My wedding cake was everything I could want and more! Not only was it beautiful and exactly how I imagine but it was the best cake I have ever tasted!!! My wedding was over three months ago and people still talk about how amazing the flavors of our cake were. Steve was a pleasure to work with and he always took time out of this day to answer any of my questions and concerns. I HIGHLY recommend Pennington’s to every bride and groom. The prices are unbeatable.

    Beautiful and Delicious Wedding Cake!

    Pennington’s Cakes was outstanding and profesional to work with in creating the exact Wedding Cake my daughter and son-in-law wanted for their Big Day in September of 2019.

I would Most definitely and highly recommend them to anyone considering a professional cake for a Wedding, Anniversary, Birthday, Retirement, Holiday, or event party.

    Delicious and Easy

    We used Pennington for our wedding cake and it was absolutely amazing! They were so easy to work with and we received so many compliments on the cake. We went in for 1 easy meeting with them where we described what we wanted for our cake, we tasted and picked our flavors and that was it! They coordinated the rest with our venue and we couldn't have been happier with how it turned out visually and the cake was DELICIOUS! Thank You so much Stephen, Sara, and Wendi!

    Pennington's Cakes's reply:

    Thanks Lyndsey! We loved making your cakes. Hope to see you again soon. Many blessings to you and Frank!

    Beautiful, Tasteful, and Reasonable

    Beautiful cakes for a reasonable price! Tasted amazing which is the important part. Our meeting was quick, but Stephen was willing to brainstorm for as long as needed. On the day, Pennington's came in and did their job. Didn't disrupt me; just took care of it all. Excellent price for a 4 tier and a grooms cake.

    Pennington's Cakes's reply:

    Thanks, Shelby! We strive to make the cake the least of a couple's worries on the big day! We are thrilled you were pleased. We wish you the very best, many blessings, and a long and happy life together!

    Best decision for cakes!!!!

    Pennington’s was a fantastic choice for my husband and I for our wedding! They were very friendly and responsive to all of our questions in person and through email making working with them a breeze. Pennington’s worked with my gluten allergy at a very affordable rate and incredibly tasty cakes (and cupcakes) with fresh berries!!!! We shopped around a lot for cakes through San Antonio, New Braunfels, and San Marcos area. They were the best by far in both price and quality!!!! Best choice to top off an absolutely perfect day!!

    Pennington's Cakes's reply:

    Thanks Laura! Congratulations to you and Adam! We are so pleased that you loved your cakes. Many blessings to you and a long and happy life together.

    Excellent cake vendor!

    We actually booked Pennington’s cakes for our October wedding this year without even trying it beforehand. We don’t live locally and got married in Lockhart so it was hard to find the time for us to both try it. Based on other reviews we booked it and were incredibly pleased. The cake tasted amazing and the people at the shop were so friendly and easy to deal with. Would definitely recommend them for cakes

    My cakes were beautiful!

    Pennington’s did two cakes for my wedding and they both turned out awesome. Anything you can imagine or honestly pull off Pinterest Stephen and his team can pull it off. We did a simple wedding and Star Wars groom’s cake. First off they looked amazing but then they tasted even better! I’m looking forward to eating the top tier of my wedding cake next year already. Great job Pennington’s!

    So yummy and gorgeous!

    I was so happy to book Pennington because they did my parents wedding cake 37 years ago! We did a deconstructed cake with copper drip and copper paint and it was absolutely gorgeous. I had several people say that it looked like something out of a magazine! We had half white cake with raspberry filling and the other half was white cake with pineapple filling and it was delicious. I definitely recommend Pennington's.

    Thanks, Christie! We are thrilled you loved your cake. Thanks for being a second generation Pennington's Bride!! Congratulations and many blessings we wish for you both!

    Wonderful Service! Amazing taste!

    Stephen was great from the beginning to end! Scheduling the tasting was simple and convenient and they even prepared a sampling for my children. Stephen was flexible with changes throughout the entire process and did everything with a smile. The day of delivery went smoothly and even though they forgot the stand (I didn’t even notice) everything was beautiful and perfect! And the taste? Oh wow!!!! We chose the pineapple and the chocolate ganache and both were to die for! So delicious and fresh! Thanks again Penington’s! I couldn’t have asked for anything better!

    Weddingcake

    We had a fabulous experience with Pennington’s! We ordered 6 cakes total and everyone LOVED them. In fact, we had none leftover! They captured just what we wanted as far as the design and overall look of the cakes. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for wedding cakes out there!

    Natalie and Ryan

    We wanted a carrot cake, needed it shortish notice. I was referred to them from a friend I trusted, and baked herself but only did cupcakes. They were flexible with testing and the returning of our stand! Had the perfect stand, was in the window and probably had not seen a wedding in awhile. Took it as a sign, since it was perfectly antiqued and went amazing with our wedding and venue. Kind people, and the cake was great( I think, did not get to eat that much the night of) (; I heard great things and it looked great! Delivery, communication and all else was amazing.

    Thanks, Natalie! We loved making your cake. Congratulations and many blessings to you both! We hope to see you again soon!

    BEST tasting cakes EVER & gorgeously designed!!

    I'm absolutely blown away by the taste and design of their cakes! They couldn't have been better to work with - Stephen and team are AMAZING! We told them exactly what we wanted for both cakes, and they blew us away! We found them, but our caterer confirmed we made the right choice (kept insisting she's tasted all & they're the best). Then, other vendors & ALL the guests were asking where we got our cakes! We are thrilled to this day to have used them - best wedding cakes ever! Thank you so much!
