Barb's was wonderful to work with. Angela was great! I knew exactly what I wanted and they were very accomadating. Loved the cake. Tasted exactly like we wanted. Moist, filled with fresh strawberries and cream and ohhh so yummy! Just like their petit fours! I also had them make individual wedding cake shaped cookies with our initials and they were a huge hit at the rehearsal dinner! ADORABLE and yummy too. I decided to wrap them myself and tied them with grosgrain ribbon and heart shaped tag with our names and wedding date engraved on it. Darling! I highly recommend Barb's Bakery for your wedding cake and cookies!

Barb's bakery was wonderful, The cake was so good our best man had 4 slices. They gave us a wonderful deal because my friend had booked with them also. The cake was delivered on time and was so beautiful I was so proud of it and didn't want to cut into it. The best part was that it tasted wonderful!! I can't wait for the 1 year anniversary cake that we get for free!

Barb's Bakery provided the vanilla petit fours and a 6" red velvet cake for our wedding reception and everything turned out amazing! The cake was so moist and delicious, and the presentation was beautiful. They did a great job incorporating our color into their design. Each petit four included a red icing rose on top that matched the ribbon on the stands that we created. We placed the 6" cake as our top tier, and then displayed the petit fours on the lower tiers. It was gorgeous and all our guests enjoyed having their very own mini wedding cake! Barb's Bakery is also extremely reasonable in their pricing and they are so friendly and easy to work with. Randy helped us design our perfect (and very unique) wedding cake, and even after our wedding, my husband and I are hooked on their bakery.....we stop by often to get some of their baked treats because everything they make is SO good!!!

The cake tasted fantastic, that's why we picked them! However, their customer service could use some work.

I loved my cake from Barb's Bakery. I had white frosting with rasberry filling. They even make each layer a different cake flavor, which I chose pink champagne and sunny yellow. The process was smooth and I had wedding cake every day after my honeymoon I loved it so much! They are flexible and can work with any budget. They have been in business for over 30 yrs. and will make you a fresh cake on your 1 year anniversary if you bring in a picture of your wedding cake after the wedding free. I loved that so I didn't have to save mine and eat stale cake. Their prices exceed the value of their delicious, beautiful cakes!!!

The cake was beautiful and tasted wonderful. We bought their signature carrot cake and loved every bite of it. The decorations were perfect. They were not overly helpful as they seemed busy all the time. The meetings always went really fast and I was never sure if they totally understood what I wanted but when it came to the day of the wedding, the cake was perfect. Their prices were very reasonable. I would recommend them because the cake tasted great and looked wonderful.

They were great up to a point! My planner and I had a hard time getting a "ribbon" down to them.. They were going to cancel our order if we didnt make it down to them by thursday so we "assumed" that the order was cancelled.. Saturday morning we were prepared to just go get a sheet cake from albertsons, when My planner recieved a call stating the cake was made and would be delivered around 9am. She had to make a mad dash over to our house, before my husband found out how much the cake was...(I didnt want him to know, I know start off bad right away). The cake was cute.. It was not the cake ordered.. and not the cake we ordered but for the time crunch I am not going to argue...THe cake was good..everyone liked it...So moral of this, the drama it turned out..

I have used Barb's Bakery for years, and it is by far one of the best bakeries in Phoenix, especially for specialty cakes. Barb's made the cakes for all three of my bridal showers, my wedding cake, my groom's cake, the cake for family brunch after the wedding, as well as recently a cake for an engagement party of one of my friends! Each cake was very different, and came out exactly how I wanted it. Just remember that if you have a very specific idea, explain exactly what you want, bring pictures, and be very clear if you have specific expectations. I have been delighted with the taste and appearance of each of my cakes. Our wedding was 300 people, and our cake served 200 and then we bought sheet cakes for the other 100 servings. The cake was HUGE and gorgeous. They even worked along with our florist who placed the flowers on the cake at the reception site. My husbands groom cake was the shape of a sphere, standing on its own on a platform without supports, which was amazing in itself, but then decorated in 4 quartered regions like a basketball, soccer ball, baseball, and football. It stood the whole wedding reception all night without falling, which was amazing! They also, with very short notice of just a few days, were able to make cookies frosted with our initials and the date or our wedding in our wedding colors, and bag them, and deliver them to the hotel that our guests were staying at as a welcome gift for our guests. The staff at Barb's is great, and I highly recommend them. I would venture to say that anyone who did not get a cake that tasted or looked the way that they wanted it to may not have been specific enough on their expectations.

I gave very detailed instructions about the decorations on my wedding cake. And it did not look at all like what I asked for. The only thing right about the cake was the sugar calla lillies (which is the reason I chose this bakery) and that's about it. I asked for lavendar filagri around each tier of the cake and they put only 4 little side ways s's on each tier. The cake tasted good but it was not close to my dream cake. For the amount of money that I spent I expected a much better cake than i got. By the time I saw the cake it was too late to fix. The guy that dropped off the cake said sorry and that he couldn't fix it. So I was stuck with a very blah cake that I spent a lot of money on. Good news is I was too excited to be getting married to dwell on it for too long. Thankfully.

They offered so many cakes I was overwhelmed at first, but after tasting enough cake to make me and my maid of honor sick I finally picked the flavors I wanted. Then we spent another 30 minutes going through book after book of cake designs. I was so impressed with their level of patients, either she truly had nothing better to do, or she really cared about me taking my time to make sure I picked exactly what I wanted. Either way it was great to never feel any sort of pressure. My only problem was when my cake was ready we had to pick it up because my wedding was on a Saturday and they didn't deliver on the weekends which was a little upsetting. What made it worse was that they did not have boxes big enough to transport the cake so I drove and each of my bridesmaids held a part of the cake in their laps.

The cake was exactly what we wanted. Tasted wonderful and they were willing to deliver it to our reception site that was a half hour away from their location.
