Buttercream Wedding Cakes & Desserts

My interaction with Buttercream was short and sweet. I needed a cake for a birthday and my usual bakery was booked. I placed the order, and picked up my cake a few days later! They did not offer much for customization options when it came to the cake, but it was fine given that they had about 4 days notice. I would order from them again if I need something in a pinch!

We were contracted with a venue that mandates we work with Buttercream but my experience with the owner literally put me in a panic attack. We arrived for our appointment and David was the only person in the shop. We sat down to do our trial and a customer duo came in. One who we assume knows David personally who was bringing her "out of town friend" (we later found out her friend is from Golden valley) to try out the cupcakes. David left us at the table and never came back for questions. We kept trying to signal him to come back as we had questions on if we could put certain fillings with certain cakes. My anxiety started to climb as he continued to ignore us for these two ladies purchasing 2 cupcakes. This was my first time ever being a bride and I am a baker since my grandmother taught me to bake when I was little. To say I was looking forward to picking out my wedding cake more than my wedding dress was accurate and yet here we were being completely ignored by David. After they had a long conversation about this and that David finally came back to us and asked what we wanted to do. My fiance stepped up and said we had a few questions. I then began to ask if we could pair the caramel with the white cake and Davids response was as if I was the dumbest person on the earth for not knowing you can not put it on white cake since it cant support it. We asked if the cookies and cream filling could be put on white cake and he just kept giving us answers as if we were wasting his time. Not treating us like we were going to purchase large cake for a wedding. I started to shut down since I started fearing asking any questions. He then started asking us if we wanted tiered or cupcakes and obviously I had questions about if pricing would look different and all that so my husband had to ask the questions. I ended up in tears unable to make a decision and hating my interaction with David and his lack of customer service. We walked out of there with myself in tears unsure what to do because David was absolutely the worst. We reached out to our venue/catering manager about the experience and she told us that should not have been what happened and told us we should try the st paul location and that she would ensure we have someone who is actually friendly to work with us. If we were not required to use this bakery after this experience, we would have not.

I ordered a Bailey's chocolate cake and a tray or two of cupcakes for my boyfriend's birthday. The order was last minute, but David at the store assured me they could have a cake with no writing + the cupcakes ready for pickup. I brought the cake to Al & Alma's at noon for a dinner cruise later that day. The cake was delicious, as were the cupcakes. They were pricey, but the quality matched the price. However, in the bustle of things - neither David nor myself checked the cake to make sure it was the correct order. When the cake was served in the evening, the wrong name is on the birthday cake.We obviously received the wrong cake order. This is a very easy mistake - however, I called/emailed/messaged Buttercream with no response to discuss the cake error. Many guests commended on the incorrect name, and I was mortified. I'm deducting three stars for lack of reply from the bakery despite reaching out. This shows lack of customer service and response. Where's the accountability for error? For the brides: please please make sure you check your cake orders and ensure you are picking up the right cake. Apparently, this is a thing that happens at Buttercream Bakery - bc it happened to me. Yummy cake, but sad response to a customer who tried to communicate prior to posting a review.

I really enjoyed working with Buttercream Cakes and Desserts. The desserts and the cake were a hit at my wedding! We ordered a three-tier naked cake with Neapolitan flavor. The cake was the lightest and tastiest cake I have had, and my guests were raving about how good it was! We also had brownie cubes and shooters at the wedding as well on our dessert table, and they were a hit. I would highly recommend using them if you want a professional, affordable wedding bakery!

David will never disappoint you he will answer all your question and help you with your decisions.Amaretto and the fresh strawberry & cream is my go too

Under promise and under delivered. The sample tray (which was suppose to be cupcakes), was thin slices of cake. Over priced and was just ok in flavor.

Buttercream Cakes and Desserts makes some delicious treats. Everything we have ever ordered from them has been very tasty and well done.To start we had Buttercream do me and my wife's wedding cake. We first went to them for a tasting to see if we would want them to do the cake and they were very professional. The owner had samples for us to try and gave us enough time to enjoy them by ourselves. He explained what each one was and was happy throughout the experience. After that he went through the different styles of cakes and designs that they can have. We picked what we wanted and went on our way. Fast forward 10 months to our wedding and our cake was more beautiful than we could've wanted. They did exactly what we wanted and worked very professionally with our venue.For taste this is one of the best cakes we have had. The magic is in the buttercream frosting and we couldn't get enough. Our cake was strawberry shortcake in two of the tiers and a chocolate moose in one of them. The strawberry one was light and fluffy with a very creamy center. The chocolate was rich and delectable with a great fudge moose layer in the middle. Us and our guests all enjoyed the cake and everyone thought it was great. It was a big hit at our wedding!Overall we had a great experience with Buttercream. They are helpful, professional, and deliver some great cakes. They are there to give you the best cake they can and help make your wedding day as amazing as it can be. I would have given 5 stars but I did 4 because we ordered a birthday cake from them once and it had the paper lining still in the cake which we had to pick out. Other than that I would highly suggest this place for cakes and desserts for your next party or for your wedding.

Tried this place because of a Groupon I bought. Always a bit skeptical about reviews claimimg the "best frosting ever" as I have been looking for that in the Cities but have yet to find. Well, I can say they absolutely DO HAVE THE BEST FROSTING ever!!! Light and fluffy, not overly sweet. Almost more like a french cream-type frosting. I ordered some asst brownies and got a few flavored cupcakes as well. This is defintely my go-to spot for all cupcakes,cakes & desserts in the future!

Gorgeous cakes. Tons of inspiration and decor. Lots of really cool flavors. Total troopers open on a Saturday when a nasty snow storm is about to hit.

Cake itself is a 5!!!! We have ordered cupcakes, birthday cakes, and we also had them cater our wedding cake for 200 people. *If you order a wedding cake, you also get a two person anniversary cake in your wedding flavor as well!!* Buttercream makes cakes and cupcakes, their focal peking being that they don't use fondant but instead use buttercream frosting on the cake and to make designs. They offer cake tasting so you know what each flavor tastes like and we felt they were willing to work with us on design, flavor combination and price!We were recommended to check our buttercream for our wedding from a family friend. Neither of us had ever heard of them, so we looked them up and found great reviews! We promptly set up a tasting and were so excited to try the cake. I'm not sure if it was the shop owner or manager working, but we felt the guy was friendly and informational about design and flavors. I will be honest here, we loved every flavor, and he even gave us extra to take home for later!! We ended up doing a three tier cake with ruffled frosting on the top and bottom layer and rosettes on the middle. We opted for chocolate cake with two frostings (double fudge and the baileys cream) as well as the strawberry shortcake for our wedding. He was very upfront about the price as well as his recommendation for ho many servings to have as not everyone would eat cake, especially as we were also doing s'mores. We also got cupcakes in those flavors so our family could try the ones we picked and they also loved them! So people at our wedding were able to choose from a chocolate cake with two frostings (three layer cake) or a strawberry shortcake with two layers of vanilla strawberry buttercream. We got so many compliments on our cake and people asking who made it! Not only that, but some of our families brought some home, and we did too and found it saved well for a little bit!! One of the best parts in our opinion is that they give you a complimentary two person cake on your 1 year wedding anniversary to help you celebrate! We decided on the strawberry, and we absolutely loved having it on our anniversary!!So, most of my review is 5 stars easily, but we did have one experience with a birthday cake that makes me have to drop a point. I ordered an 8 inch strawberry shortcake for my husbands biethday, and when I picked it up it looked great and was right on time. Though it was a great surprise, we started eating it only to realize a layer of paper was still IN the cake!!! I immediately contacted the store and left a voicemail as no one answered. We did eat around the paper as it was on the bottom layer and beside that it tasted fine, but it was a disappointment to find that in a cake day of. We were reimbursed 50% of what I paid and we got to keep the cake, but I'm glad that happened after our wedding as it would've made me very nervous something would've gone wrong..Overall, 4 stars since all but one experience has been exceptional. But I can't pretend we didn't get a birthday cake with a layer of paper in it, so there you have it! I would absolutely reccomend Buttercream for a wedding, as so much attention and detail was put into our cake, and the flavor was amazing!! Plus the one year anniversary cake complimentary is such a great touch.
