Delish!

by amylmn

Our cake was great! It tasted spectacular - moist and flavorful! It looked exactly like I wanted it to. We also had flowers on our cake, but our florist added them after the cake had arrived. Buttercream and the florist spoke to ensure their timing was correct so that the flowers could be added. Also, I thought Buttercream was VERY reasonably priced.

• Pros: taste, decorating, execution
• Cons: location is a bit hard to find.

Delicious

by sharingexperiences

If the decoration of the cake would have been done well I would have given this place perfect 5 star. The taste is the best but the decoration fell short.

During my consultation I was told they have someone to deliver and finalize the placement of my flowers to look like the picture I gave them, full cascading flowers in a spiral. I was worried that they couldn't recreate the look. I had two consultation sessions and I was assured that they were professionals and have been doing this for years and the cake would be fabulous.

Imagine my dismay when I came out of my dressing room to see the Buttercream guy stick calla lillies into the cake like he was poking a balloon. It looked nothing like the picture. The flowers stood straight out awkwardly in a sinlge line down the cake. One of my friend had to fix the flowers so they weren't sticking straight out of the cake and she made the flow fuller.

The guy told me he was not an expert at decorating and mainly just delivers the cake. If I would have known that is their "professional" person, I would have hired a florist or gone somewhere else. I already provided my own expensive flowers. For almost $600 I expected more from Buttercream.

• Pros: Great Taste
• Cons: Bad Decoration, False Assurances

DELISH! Best Cake Around!

by oz9069

I ordered a cake last minute online for a friend of mine's birthday party. I received an email notification back immediately that my order was received and when the cake would be ready. They also called me to verify my order. The cake was a huge success and very delicious! They are a little pricey but for the taste and size I would order again! The customer service was great and the store was clean and the people were very nice. For that, the price is worth it!

• Pros: Delicious Cake-Great Customer Service
• Cons: Higher priced cake if you are looking for something cheaper

I still get weak in the knees 7 years later when I think of our fantastic wedding cake

by marmstrong1877

Our 7 year wedding anniversary is coming up next month and I still remember what our cake tastes like when I think back on that day. It was the most beautiful, luxurious, decadent cake I have ever tasted. It's expensive but it's SO worth it. You can't go wrong with these guys. I still to this day can't describe in mear words how much we loved our wedding cake.

Cheers!

• Pros: Everything!
• Cons: Nothing!

68 year old comments on the best cake ever tasted!

by numbcarnelian

My landlord and her mother work for a catering company for corporate events worldwide, and after tasting my husband and I's wedding cake at the reception they both commented on it being the best cake they've ever tasted! Buttercream does not charge more for 2 flavors in one cake; we managed to pick out two of our favorite flavors and have two tiers of one and one tier of the other. What a bonus.

• Pros: Free parking, friendly staff, wide catalogue of options, free samples of the most popular flavors, free sample of their truffles

Couldn't have done it better myself

by jolenne

I would like to think of myself as a cake coinsurer, I have been to about every bakery and sweet shop in the Twin Cities searching for the best cake. Although Buttercream Collection was not on my radar, until I attended a family friends wedding and there it was the BEST CAKE I have ever tasted. It was the Bailey?s chocolate a rich chocolate cake with a touch of Bailey?s Irish Cream, and the buzz this cake created was like no other. Shortly, after the wedding I had a small party at my house and ordered the Bailey?s for my quests. Although I first told them I made it myself the truth can out. The staff was helpful and friendly, the quality is always great. I have found my bakery!

• Pros: 30+ Flavors

Best service Best product, Just the best!!!!!

by meg2006

My wedding cake was one of the most important accepts of my wedding, so I had to go to the best. Buttercream?s staff is knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and not only delivered the most beautiful cake, the best tasting too.

P.S. I was looking for a different party favors so I ordered truffles in boxes from Buttercream and they were as big of a smash as the cake. (I just wished they would there was one left over for me)

• Pros: Flavor selection, staff, quality
• Cons: I'm only getting married once!

you should know...

by sunflower3284

If you are planning on buying your wedding cake here be prepared for some of the most delicious cake you've ever had. The pastor that married us said he had officiated 637 weddings and been to just as many receptions and ours was the most wonderful cake he had ever tasted. All my guests went on and on about it. We had the tiramisu with white cake. WOW. If they're delivering it to the reception site MAKE SURE you tell them you want cake boxes or they won't leave any.

My husband and I are ordering the same cake for our friends? birthday this weekend. 29.00 and feeds 12 but it's well worth it. good luck!!

• Pros: staff, flavor, price
• Cons: location
