    Beautiful custom wedding cake!

    I would highly recommend The Icing on the Cake to anyone looking for a wedding cake in the Boston area! First of all, cake tasting at the bakery in Newton with Paula was definitely one of the most fun moments of wedding planning. We felt like we were in good hands with Paula and she helped us come up with a design that was perfect for us (even included an outline of the Boston skyline on the top tier!) and matched the icing flowers on the cake to the colors of our florals. The cake was absolutely delicious and one of my favorite memories from the wedding reception. We found the bakery through our hotel and I'm so glad we did! I'd definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a gorgeous cake that also tastes amazing!

    Outstanding

    We had tried one other bakery, and had a much more impersonal experience, which led us to choosing the Icing on the Cake -- we are so happy with this decision! Paula was so sweet and easy to work with from start to finish! We sat down with her for an hour long complimentary tasting, and she was so helpful with her recommendations regarding flavor, decor, and budget. We had a vague idea of the design we wanted and with just a few questions, she understood right away what we were going for. For our budget, Paula recommended a two tier cake and a separate round cake for cutting, which was very affordable. Delivery was very easy and a nominal fee. The cakes themselves itself were delicious, fresh, and light. The have a great promotion and will provide you a free anniversary cake if you give them a printed, professional photo of the cake at your wedding. We are overall so happy we worked with them for our wedding, and so grateful for how easy Paula made this part of wedding planning!

    Best Wedding Cake!

    Icing on the Cake is the best! We worked with Paula from start to finish and she created the perfect cake for our wedding day! Paula helped bring our vision to life during our tasting and we couldn’t have been more happy with how it turned out and tasted! We can’t wait to use Icing on the Cake again in the future!

    Beautiful Wedding Cake!

    We worked with Paula to design our wedding cake. Not only was the cake delicious, she was able to recreate our inspiration image to a “T”! We had our florist add real flowers. So happy with how it turned out- everyone raved about how delicious that cake was. Couldn’t have asked for more!

    The best combination: Beautiful AND delicious!

    Our stylish and delicious cake was a big hit, even for people who don’t usually eat wedding cake! Our experience at Icing on the Cake was extremely simple. Paula has been in the industry for decades and her experience was made clear by the clarity she provided in the course of our decision process. At our tasting, we sampled a wide variety of flavors and reviewed hundreds of photos of past cakes seeking inspiration. We elected for a three-tier cake with a different flavor for each tier, complete with a fondant outline of the Boston skyline. Very happy with the results, and walked away with beautiful photos!

    Delicious!

    We tried several cake vendors before coming to TIOTC, and once we tried the cake, we were hooked! The cake was delicious and Paula was so easy to work with. The cake was exactly as we wanted it. Highly recommend!

    Thank you for a wonderful cake and experience!

    Our wedding cake was gorgeous and delicious! Paula at The Icing on the Cake was very accommodating of our requests and kindly explained the different designs, flavors, etc. She did a great job checking in with us closer to the wedding to ensure that we got exactly what we wanted. The guests loved the cake as well! We can't wait to have our anniversary top layer! Thank you for a wonderful cake and experience!

    Presentation was on point!

    The icing on the Cake staff were so easy to work with and are true professionals! They know exactly what they are doing, from the cake tasting to the day of delivery we had zero issues! The cake was delicious and they will give you a free one-year anniversary cake if you send them a professional photo of your cake!

    The Icing on the Cake's reply:

    Thank you Patricia! - we thank you for letting us be a special part of your wedding day! Congratulations and Happy New Year!

    As beautiful as it was delicious

    Getting our wedding cake from The Icing on the Cake was a no-brainer. The only thing we had trouble with was picking which flavors we wanted - they were all amazing! Working with Paula at our cake tasting and leading up to the wedding was a pleasure and the cake they delivered was more than we had even dreamed of.

    Simply Wonderful

    I got married this past Sunday & my wedding cake was made by The Icing on the cake and to say it was delicious and a hit is an understatement. The issue I have with many bakeries are that their cakes are too sweet, especially the frosting. The sugar overpower the flavors and you can’t even eat a whole slice or the cake is dry. That is NOT an issue with this bakery. It was moist and even the guests with the most sensitivity to sugar had 2 slices. The flavors were also AMAZING. Especially strawberry, orange, and raspberry. (Each tier had a different flavor filling which was the best advice from Paula and decision).
    In my culture the wedding cake is central to the reception, even more so than the food. The Icing on the Cake did not disappoint me or my guests. The quality of their cakes are so good, I took the wedding topper home and shared with co-workers, it is now 3 days after my wedding and the cake is still as good as it was on my wedding day. Still soft & moist even after being refrigerated. I will definitely be ordering from them for future occasions, & I strongly suggest you do too.

    Fantastic!

    We had the best time during our tasting, Paula was so friendly and helpful! They were very prepared with COVID protocols in place (hopefully those won't matter much longer) and gave us plenty to taste (the hardest part was choosing the flavors - they were all good!). I was hoping for mint chocolate which was not available during our tasting so Paula had some made up for me to pick up and try the following week. The cake was delicious, beautiful and Paula made everything work out seamlessly. Highly recommend!

    The BEST ! Look no further

    Icing on the cake was the BEST cake I’ve ever tasted! Paula was so responsive during the planing process. The cake tasting was great and she gave great suggestions. The cake was out of this world! They are so talented.

    Thank you to Icing on the Cake !

    Amazing Cakes

    I used this bakery for three cakes during my wedding season. The first, for the JOP wedding I had as we canceled our orginal wedding because of the pandemic. When our city allowed weddings to be held we used Icing for the grooms cake as well as the actual wedding cake. I got great reviews on how fresh and moist the cakes were and the flavor combinations were superior. i would go to this bakery in a heartbeat.

    Icing on the Cake does a phenomenal job. Their cakes are stunning and they are absolutely delicious. We chose a different flavor for each tier, and the owner helped us design the cake of our dreams. I highly recommend them!

    Best Wedding Cake!

    We ordered our wedding cake from Icing on the Cake. The cake was so good. Guests were telling us how much they loved the cake. Icing on the Cake was able to make cupcakes that were nut free and egg free to accommodate some of our guests.

    Perfect Wedding Cake

    Best cake I've ever tasted! I honestly couldn't say nicer things about Paula and her team. From our first conversation, Paula was so informative and easy to talk to. She showed me a book of cake ideas and worked with my ideas to get the perfect wedding cake. My fiancé was always traveling and she was so accommodating to send me with samples in order for him to taste the cake too! We ended up with the amarerreto and we are still getting comments about how amazing it was! No doubt, you need this cake in your life!

    The Icing on the Cake's reply:

    Congratulations and thank you!! We were so happy to be a special part of your day! Looking forward to a life-time of cake work:)
    -Paula

    Beautiful & Delicious

    Our cake was beautiful and so delicious! (I can hardly wait until our first anniversary so we can eat our top layer...) TIOC made the planning process and breeze and were very accommodating of my food allergies.

    Best. Cake. Ever!

    I would not be lying to say that the cake was by far the easiest part of our wedding. From the second I talked to Paula on the phone to set up a time to come in and discuss the details she could not have been more accommodating! We had to reschedule a few times due to the Bruins playoffs (Paula’s a fan too so it worked out), but when we met with Paula in person everything just fell into place. She asked all the right questions, and advised us on things we didn’t have answers for (what size cake do you need for 200 guests?), showed us some examples of cakes she has done in the past and asked the big question, “what did you always dream your wedding cake would look like?”. It’s like she could read my mind because the cake could not have been more perfect! The colors matched our decor, the rope and grommets matched our nautical Cape Cod theme, and the cake itself was delicious! The best part of meeting with Paula was of course getting to taste the different flavors of cakes they make – this was the real hard part – deciding which ones to choose, they were all amazing! After that meeting we knew we could check one big item off our to-do list and never look back. Now we just need to come up with reasons we need cake to work with Paula again :)

    Perfect wedding cake in ten days

    About ten days before the wedding for 50 guests, we realized we ought to have a cake. Duh! Three popular Boston bakeries either don't do wedding cakes or prefer sheet cakes or charge outrageous amounts. Our wonderful caterer (Baker's Best) recommended The Icing on the Cake. What a gift they are to ANYONE seeking a special cake for any celebration. First of all, the women in charge got a huge laugh out of us "forgetting" a cake until ten days before event. They cleared their schedules, gave us two hours of tastings and advice, patiently sat with our hesitation over icing patterns (such decisions!). The cake was delicious -- real buttercream frosting, delicious cake, superb filling -- and it "showed" beautifully.
    And what a treat! IF you bring them a photo of the cake, they prepare an eight-slice duplicate FOR FREE on your first anniversary. We just celebrated it! They are friendly, flexible, and their prices compare very well with other, less accommodating places. Go to Icing on the Cake!

    Delicious Variety from the Icing on the Cake!

    We wanted a local cake baker to make our wedding cake and were thrilled with the Icing on the Cake in Newton. Paula sat down with my mom and I to discuss (and try!) their cake options. By the end of the consultation, she had drawn by hand what our cake and icing design might look like, and we were hooked by how delicious every flavor combo was. There were so many scrumptious varieties to choose from.

    In the end, we ordered a tiered cake with several flavors. Some of our guests tried all of them, and days later more raved about how tasty the cake had been. All around, it was an easy experience with excellent outcomes.

    We had a great experience with Icing on the Cake. The consultation was easy, the cakes were delicious, and everything was very affordable. We opted to do a smaller two tier cake for cutting with a larger sheet cake in the back. The cake cutting cake was adorable and exactly how we envisioned it and the sheet cake was equally delicious! We highly recommend Icing on the Cake!

    Icing on the Cake was one of 3 bakeries that our reception venue works with. After visiting each location and tasting at each, choosing Icing on the Cake was an easy decision. We found that not only did their cake taste the best (probably the #1 decision factor), but they gave us a much more personalized cake (as opposed to some other bakeries that are more like factories with no personal touch) that really met our vision. We found Paula extremely easy to work with - she made our entire experience delightful. Would highly recommend Icing on the Cake!
