Bavarian Cakery

Cake was amazing!! Customer service is great. The tasting was awesome because there were so many options to try.

If I could give Bavarian Cakery more stars I would! Our wedding cake was included in our package we purchased with our venue, and I'm so glad it was with this place! My husband and I met with Tara for our tasting in April. Not only did she have great suggestions for our cake, but she had other great suggestions for areas of our wedding we hadn't yet thought about. One of my favorite things she had mentioned was for me to let her know what color my dress was, this way she could make the cake in the same color. This allows for your cake not to stand out more than you! I hadn't even thought of that! After the tasting she reached out a few times through email to check in and keep up with head count or if we had changed our mind about anything. I received so many compliments on our wedding cake and I will definitely not only recommend Bavarian Cakery to everyone, but I will also be a returning customer for future events!

Honestly, I was debating between 4 or 5 stars because I was extremely happy with how this cake turned out. It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I worked with Tara and she was such a sweetheart through this process, on email and over the phone to make sure I solidify all the details with her. The only thing I was bummed out by was really the fact I couldn't come in to at least taste the cake without spending $25 dollars. I know I was asking for a speciality cake of snickerdoodle, but I was hoping it wouldnt be such a high price. I was hoping that it had a stronger taste of snickerdoodle but nonetheless I'm happy with how the cake turned out. Thank you!

From start to finish, Bavarian Cakery was one of our easiest vendors to work with. Their tasting process is very easy (and free), and they have so many flavors. They were also very flexible with allowing us to come back to re-taste flavors to make changes. The cake was beautiful - exactly as I pictured it, and everything ran smoothly with their delivery. The deciding factor for us was also that their prices were the most competitive for the high quality of sweets they produce! The attention to detail and cake stand rental were extremely valuable to us. We had a picture-perfect cake that was tasty, too!

We used Bavarian Cakery for our wedding on 3/19/22 and absolutely loved it (our guests did too) ! Our cake flavors were the Vanilla Bavarian Cheesecake for our base layer and the Amaretto with Pineapple and Cream Cheese on our top 2 tiers. We went for a cake tasting back in October 2021. Tara gave us a piece of paper that listed out the different cake flavors and options for filling. She gave us space to talk amongst ourselves and make decisions but was around if we had questions. She also inquired to see if we had our other vendors finalized and provided some pamphlets and business card recommendations (per our request).The reason we we went with them instead of others:1) The cake was moist!2) The cake wasn't too sweet3) The icing didn't have the granulated sugar texture4) The flavors were so tasty and worked well togetherTara was always very responsive to my emails inquiring about cake stand sizes, updates on headcount, ordering to-go containers for leftover cake, cake stand rentals and options. Throughout the process and time leading up to our wedding, we received our invoices via email, rental return reminders, and delivery time confirmations. I would definitely recommend stopping by for a tasting if you're in the market for a wedding or grooms cake. I've been eyeing my anniversary cake every time I open my freezer and my husband and I talk about ordering a cake from them for birthdays in the future too.

I had requested a sample box for tasting of the desserts I was interested in prior to booking this vendor. We ended up ordering churro cups, macarons, and mixed berry tarts. If you are wanting churro, I suggest going with a vendor that makes them fresh on the site, it'll taste way better than cold/stale churros. In the sample box we received mixed berry tarts we received with fresh fruits on top, which was the main reason why we selected it for our day. I'm not sure what happened but on our wedding day, tarts were delivered but they were not the ones we had sampled. The ones that were delivered had no fresh fruits on top and looked completely different than the one we sampled. I did not see the dessert table on my wedding day but recently received my wedding photos, which is why the error was discovered. I reached out to Tara vie email about this. She admitted that she did not note what items were placed in our sample box. She also expressed that because she did not receive a missing piece of the macaron tower display, that the $200 replacement fee was waived and this can an be an "even trade" for their mistake. Tara contacted my coordinator about this missing piece while I was out of the country for my honeymoon. She never contacted me directly regarding this missing piece until I emailed her regarding her baking error. I'm not saying she's lying but there's no proof that this piece was missing or if this narrative is used as a cover up. She mentioned in her email that she was surprise to learn of the mistake so late but like mentioned previously, I just got my wedding photos back. There is a lot of moving parts on a wedding day and unfortunately photos are all that one had to recall details. I do not recommend working with someone who forgets what they placed in your sample box, delivers the wrong baked goods for your wedding day, and when you bring it to their attention, they try to manipulate the issue with another issue. The tone of Tara email was passive aggressive. A person is aware when they do something wrong. For a vendor with years of experience to claim that they didn't pay attention is beyond disappointing. I felt blindsided and did not get what I hoped for. There was no resolution for this error. If I can go back, we would have booked a different vendor that's detailed oriented, delivered the right items for their clients on the most important day, and has a better plan in place for customer satisfaction. For a high price tag, you would expect better execution and service, but that isn't the case for Bavarian Cakery. 0/10 recommend. Attached are photos of sample box and what was delivered on wedding day.

Bavarian Cakery was wonderful to work with! Our wedding cake was absolutely beautiful- and DELICIOUS. Tara was extremely responsive and our tasting gave us all the information we needed. We tried a LOT of bakeries for our cake and Bavarian was the last because they made the decision just so easy for us!Try. Their. Bavarian. Cheesecake. It is life changing. I think about it every week.... YUM.

BEST decision we made and you can do it too! Their signature Bavarian Cheesecake was the most delicious cake ever and we're already looking for another reason to order more. Our wedding cake was truly the highlight of the night, from the beautiful design to the lingering delicious taste. Every guest in attendance is still raving about our cake and wanting to know more. Tara captured our design vision and we were hooked from the moment we had our tasting. Highest recommendations and gratitude go to Bavarian Cakery!

This place is amazing! We recently had our cake tasting where that had gluten free cake samples, icings, and fillings available for us to try! Every single one tasted so good (which is hard to do for gluten free)!! We ordered a 3-4 tier regular cake and they threw in a small gluten free cake for free which was so awesome! I am so excited for this cake to be at our wedding in June!! I will update with pictures after the wedding! Highly recommend, especially for gluten free people!

This place is extremely upsetting. Our wedding was set for August 1, 2020 and the cake was paid in full April 13, 2020. Originally it was May 23, but they let us reschedule it to August 1 because Covid was at it worst. However, we had to cancel our August wedding because most of our family would not be able to attend due to Covid so we had a small ceremony in June. We asked Tara Little to reschedule the cake (I asked in June if we could do this) for December because we planned on having a reception with the cake then. We were told "there is a rescheduling fee of $175" and "because the decision is based on comfort level". The cake had been paid for, it's not like the cake had been made already. And she said the date in December was available, but wanted $175. For what? Who knows. I told her there was no reception in August and that we did not have another $175. She would literally be making a cake for no event. Her response "if you change your mind, please let me know or if you want a 6" small cake for later, let me know. Those are only $45".So we had no choice but to make the sad trip from College Station to Houston to pick up a cake meant for 65-70 people just for it to go to waste. My husband went inside to pick it up and the customer service was terrible. In the cost of the cake was a $45 delivery and set up fee, and when we called today asking for that back, the assistant said Tara would call us to discuss it and we never received a call. As far as the cake, HEB could have done just as well, if not better. The purple is completely uneven, and it just looks sad. I am thankful we did not have a reception because I would have been so embarrassed to have this as my wedding cake. I don't know if they made it sad looking because they knew we weren't having an event for it, or what. But now there is a very sad bride who when I think of my wedding cake, this is what I have to think of. A waste of cake and time.
