Beautiful & tasty wedding cake!!!
Zachary’s made the most beautiful and delicious cake for our August 30th wedding! They perfectly captured our design vision and flavor preferences, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about it! The team was professional, easy to work with, and seamlessly delivered the cake to our venue without a hitch. We highly recommend Zachary’s for any special occasion!

Delicious Wedding Cake
Zachary’s provided us with an absolutely delicious 4-tier wedding cake that all of our guests loved. We spent A LOT of time tasting cakes trying to find the perfect funfetti cake with custard filling and vanilla buttercream frosting. Zachary's had the absolute best tasting cake! Our family from NYC said that it was the best funfetti cake they ever had and they have tried a lot of different places. And the best part is that we can order our favorite cake now for our birthdays, wedding anniversaries and other special occasions.
Tip: Our tasting kit was good... but the cake that they made for our wedding was sooooo much better. If you like a particular combination, just order a small cake of it to find out what it will really taste like. It isn't too expensive and it insures you get the exact cake you want. Plus, who doesn't love cake??? We did this for all of our top 3 bakeries. We learned from this process that a great tasting with various components doesn't necessary mean that the cake you order will be great because ratios to filling/frosting/cake are different in full sized cakes vs. the tasting.

Delicious!
Nancy and the team at Zachary's Pastry Shoppe couldn't have been sweeter or more accommodating. We worked with them for our wedding cake and are so glad we did. The tasting was charming and the options were well-presented - they brought out a variety of cupcakes, frostings and fillings for us to try. The cake design was gorgeous and exactly what we wanted (we shared photo ideas), the delivery was right on time and it was absolutely delicious - not too sweet, just perfect. We can't recommend Zachary's highly enough. -

We had our reception at the Century House in Latham and Zachary's is one of the bakeries that you can choose your cake from (the wedding cake was included in our Century House wedding package). My mother and I went in for a cake tasting (as my husband is allergic to eggs and could not eat the samples). They were very welcoming and had a lot of examples to show you. I had chosen an Irish theme for our wedding and they were able to replicate a beautiful white cake I had seen on pinterest with celtic knots on the different tiers. I was so impressed with their work and the cake was delicious! I also decided to have a groom's cake made because my husband could not eat the actual wedding cake - he didn't want to ruin it for everyone else by making it eggless. Zachary's was so accommodating and found a recipe for an eggless chocolate stout cake. The funny thing was I liked it even better than our wedding cake it was soooo delicious. They also put a picture of the Manchester United emblem on top (my husbands favorite soccer team). Overall, both cakes looked beautiful and tasted delicious! They also gave us a coupon for a one-year anniversary cake (so no having to freeze your top tier!). -

Zachary's was amazing with our cakes and pies. They were delicious and we received many compliments on them. They took our picture and replicated it exactly how we wanted the cake to look. -

While looking around for a cake vendor, I email Zachary's a photo of my inspiration as I did not want a large tiered cake. The response back to my email was very prompt and a tasting/design meeting was scheduled. Zachary's was very responsive to what we were looking for and we left with a contract in hand. A few months later, my mother stopped by the shop to add a groom's cake and a few pies to our order. They were once again very receptive to her ideas and created the perfect groom's cake. We had a total of 5 different cakes, all with different flavors, and they were all delicious. -

We ordered our cake through Zachary's as part of our package at the Century House in Latham, NY for our wedding. They were able to recreate an idea we had found on pinterest perfectly. The cake was absolutely delicious and beautiful! I am so happy with the results and their willingness to creatively create our dream cake. -

First of all Stephany and I loved our wedding cake. It was perfect beyond perfect. The cake tasted wonderful. We were able to pick out just what we wanted and it turned out amazing. We would recommend Zacharys to everyone. You should stop in and enjoy there store as well, that is the best way to get everything you want. -

Zachary's made us a beautiful and delicious cake for our wedding. We could not decide what flavor cake to go with, so Zachary's made us a layered cake with four different flavors. It was a huge hit with our guests. Thank you Zachary's! -

The wedding cake was absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared! There were so many choices! We had different flavors on the 4 layers. Everything was prepared the way that the bridal couple had requested. The price was in line with other bakeries that we contacted. I would highly recommend this vendor. -

Zachary's was great to work with in providing our wedding cake. They provided a very helpful and fun (not to mention delicioius!) tasting session that allowed us to try all sorts of different cakes/fillings/frostings in combination. They were very responsive to my ideas for the design of the cake and even drew a quick sketch of the cake right there to make sure that they understood what I was describing. The cake turned out absolutely gorgeous and of course delicious! -

Our wedding cake design was unique and delicious! The staff at Zachary's are wonderful and will assist you in any way that they can to make your experience enjoyable. People who were at our wedding raved about the cake. If I could give them a 10, i would, but ths scoring only goes to 5 as the highest. Go to Zachary's and you won't be disappointed. -

Zachary's Pastry shop did our Wedding cake and not only did it look amazing, but it tasted amazing! The down side is we didn't have time to even eat a full piece. We had our customary first bite (where you feed it to each other) and as the cake was being served we were pulled aside for something (videography? talking with guest? something?). When we came back to the table a while later, the cake plates had been cleared. We went on our honeymoon the first thing the next morning so we didn't even get a piece after the fact. Regardless, all of our friends made comments on how great the cake was. The bites we had were phenomenal. Thank you for our amazing cake! -

We used Zachary's for both the Grooms cake and the Wedding cake. They have an amazing Lemon with raspberry/custard filling and a strawberry/custard filling cake that are to die for. We ordered a basketweave cake with the strawberry/custard filling. There were no leftovers (even on the tables). The cake is always moist and the filling and frosting are "just right" sweet. We had so many guests comment on how yummy the cake was. There is a lot to be said for a family-owned business. Nancy was a pleasure to work with. They are absolute professionals and my cake turned out beautifully. We continue to order their cakes for birthdays and other special occasions. Michelle and Carl Snavely, Jr. -

Beckie at Zachary's was just a joy to work with. We had gone to at least 3 other bakeries before we decided to go with Zachary's. They never made us feel as if we were just another "client" or "customer". They made us feel as if our wedding cake was their own wedding cake they were making.
Beckie asked all the right questions when she was helping us design the cake. From asking what color down to the detail of would you rather have dots or designs in between the hearts on your cake, after everything was said and done she nailed it! Her rough draft sketch is exactly how the cake looked when we arrived at our reception location that day. We hadn't even seen the cake till then!
We are completely happy we went with Zachary's and would recommend them to any other bride out there. The pricing is pretty affordable for the tight budget brides. =)
The only CON about this place and the reason why they didn't get 5/5 is because of the response time it took between emails. When I (the bride) first contacted Zachary's I was exchanging emails with somebody completely different. After 2 emails the person never responded again. So I waited a month or so and re-contacted Zachary's and Beckie is the one who responded back. I know they have other brides and other obligations but it did upset me just a little bit when I would email Zachary's on a Mon and they wouldn't get back to me till Thurs afternoon. That happened a couple of times. Once it got close to our wedding date is when they would respond promptly. That is my only negative about this bakery. -

My daughter had her wedding reception at The Century House, in Latham, NY. They include a cake from Zachary's with their wedding packages, and, after one taste test, we were happy to close the deal with TCH.
Zachary's cake was just delicious! They chose yellow cake with a chocolate mousse filling and buttercream frosting. It was served with a raspberry drizzle on the plate. The custom decorating, including gum paste calla lilies, was lovely to look at as well. Everyone who I talked to raved about that cake! I've wrapped the top layer for the kids for their first anniversary....hope well enough that it's even half as delicious as it was at their wedding!
Great job!!! -
