    The Best Cake

    Barb did an amazing job with our wedding cake! It was delicious, unique and beautiful. She also took care of everything when our venue was a little chaotic on the day of the wedding. We were so happy with our cake, and we would recommend Barb to anyone who needs a cake in the Northwoods!

    The cake lady is amazing! Delicious product!

    The cake lady made 3 different types of cupcakes for our wedding and they were absolutely beautiful and delicious! Our guests loved them! She also brought them to the venue and arranged them in an elegant way that matched our decor on our dessert table. Excellent execution and attention to detail! We would recommend her and will likely use her again for other events in the future.

    Delicious cakes, great experience

    Working with Barb on our wedding desserts was an excellent experience. She was extremely accommodating and delivered a DELICIOUS wedding cake (strawberry with strawberry fruit filling and cream cheese frosting was my favorite), chocolate ganache cupcakes, pecan pie bars, and even took a special family cookie recipe of ours and replicated it for the wedding. If you are having a wedding in the northwoods, use the Cake Lady!

    My entire experience with The Cake Lady was amazing. She responded right away when I first inquired. She was quick to give me a pricing breakdown. She even emailed me quickly when I was at the store trying to decide what size cake stand I wanted, which was very appreciated. Meeting her was comfortable. She understood what cake design we wanted. And she did a beautiful job. The cake was perfect. And it tasted amazing! Everyone at our wedding raved about how it was the best wedding cake they have ever had. We had a layer of chocolate almond and another layer of almond poppy seed. The price was fair, too. I would have paid her double if I knew how amazing it was going to turn out. I high recommend her. She is extremely talented and a wonderful person.

    Barb is the best! We met with Barb at her house and she had some cupcakes prepared for us to taste. She was very warm and welcoming. She created a beautiful cake topper for on top of our cupcake tower. The cake with burlap at the bottom was absolutely beautiful and was so moist and delicious! We also had a couple very important guests who have a gluten allergy. Barb was so flexible she was able to make some gluten free cupcakes for them in order to allow all of our guests to feel included in our wedding celebrations. Thanks, Barb! I would definitely recommend you to friends and family in the market for wedding cakes in the Northwoods!

    Barb made our fall wedding cupcake dreams come true! She made red velvet, chocolate, marble and pumpkin for us and all from scratch! Pure deliciousness! The guests loved them and kept going back for more. The display was very pretty. She even made little fall colored maple and oak leaves to put on each cupcake. They were perfect! Thank you Barb!

    Barb the Cake Lady of Eagle River, WI was so responsive to my request. The Cake Lady was already very busy on our wedding weekend but we worked together and she was able to create the perfect cake for our daughter's wedding. She did a birch bark cake with a heart with the bride and grooms initials. It was perfect and beautiful. It was the perfect center piece for our dessert table. The cake also tasted fabulous it was moist and had a wonderful flavor. I recommend Barb the Cake Lady of Eagle River, WI very highly. Will use her again for the next Wedding. Thank you Barb!

    The Cake Lady's reply:

    Thank you so much Candy!!

    My husband and I LOVED our wedding cake! Not only was it exactly what we wanted and discussed with Barb, but it tasted fabolous. We had about 1/3 of a tier left after our reception and we ate it every day that week after our wedding. And since she's close we're even contemplating on asking if she'll do an anniversary cake for us :) I would definately recommend The Cake Lady.

    We had an idea for our wedding cake and presented it to Barb and she created a cake that exceeded our expectations. Not only was the cake beautiful, but it was delicious! She also created an awesome groom's cake. We sent her a picture of my husband's guitar to replicate in a cake and she did an awesome job - it was a fantastic surprise! Barb was there to answer any questions we had in a timely manner and even delivered samples! We can't wait for our 1st anniversary when we can enjoy some more cake!

    Barb Gould aka "the Cake Lady" will be providing me with my wedding cake for my September wedding in Downtown Milwaukee. I cannot wait for my guests to enjoy the greatness of her cakes. I have had the pleasure of consuming MANY MANY Cake Lady cakes and have NEVER been disappointed! So I can strongly recommend (even though the wedding isn't here yet), Barb for your cake needs. PLUS she is driving my cake to Milwaukee. So she is very willing to travel! More importantly she lets you decide how you want your cake to be. There are many bakers that have limitations, (flavors, fillings etc). Barb lets you make that decision, but can offer great ideas too! So yes...if you want a fantastic cake....CALL The CAKE LADY!

    The Cake Lady is very flexible in what she can create for your special day. You can bring in a ppicture of anything and she can make it look amazing. I have had The Cake Lady do my wedding cake and many other cakes for birthdays and showers and has always done a fantastic job.

    The Cake Lady is FANTASTIC to work with. I love that she took all the time I wanted to talk through options (even though I knew what I wanted). The value was amazing. We had multpile flavors of cakes (carrot, chocolate, and marble), multiple shapes (tiered for the wedding cake, sheet cakes, and a Maltese Cross for the Groom's cake), multiple designs and Barb executed everything flawlessly...AND al within my original budget. She also sent me pictures of the fall leaves she was making for our wedding cake to be sure the colors she envisioned were the same thing I wanted....they were!
    I have had Barb make our anniversary cakes, as well as cakes for banquets I have planned and she always excedes my expectations.
    She is a true professional but also so friendly and down to earth that she really gets to know her clients on a personal level. I will continue to hire Barb for every important event I have!
    Barb has my contact info if you would like to call me as a reference. As you can tell, I am more than happy to discuss everything that makes The Cake Lady the ONLY Lady for Cakes I will use.

    Barb's cakes are not only beautiful, but delicious. She created a masterpiece for our wedding, and has since created some really fun and imaginative cakes for our daughter's birthdays. You won't be disappointed!!!!

    Barb (The Cake Lady) was a pleasure to work with. She was very flexible with all of our ideas and our cake turned out exactly like the pictures we showed her. Everything was fantastic and we received so many complements on our wedding cake. Set up was also a breeze, Barb took care of everything and it turned out better than we expected. Thank you Barb for your services.
