Got the rainbow cake for my friend’s birthday and it was fantastic, great flavors in the sponge, jelly, and frosting.
I called to get a customized cake, my son loves sushi so I wanted a cake that looked like a sushi roll. I was amazed at the sincerity and genuine care they put into my order. I let the cake decorator have creative freedom with the cake because she was very excited to do it! The results were outstanding! Not only is the cake beautiful and customized it was delicious! I am coming here forever to get on my cakes and cookies!
Wow! We picked up a custom cake for a special anniversary and it was the most beautiful cake, that was so thoughtfully designed. Not to mention how delicious it was!
Ordered a marble cake with custard filling and it was the best cake we had in a long time!!!! Also so beautiful!!
I just wanted to say, my wife bought me a cheese Danish and it was so good. you guys have the best Cheese Danish I ever had, it was so good I had to buy it again. I told the girls at the counter how good it was when I returned. Also the home made rye breads are so good. Highly recommend this place. 5 stars all around.
I visited this store for the first time and was warmly greeted by Emma, an outstanding associate who made my experience truly special. From the moment I walked in, she went above and beyond to help me select the perfect cake and even took the time to carefully write the name on top. Her professionalism and dedication to excellent service were remarkable. Beyond the exceptional service, the bakery itself offers a fantastic variety of cakes, cookies, and other treats. Whether you're looking for a custom-decorated cake, a ready-made option, or even smaller frozen cakes, they have something for every occasion. I ended up getting two of the frozen cakes, and they were absolutely delicious! The welcoming atmosphere and top-notch customer service have definitely won me over—I’ll be returning for my next birthday cake without a doubt!
Great Bakery ! Now I see why they have been in business so long . They did a beautiful short notice wedding cake for my daughter a few years ago , and now with 24 hours notice they made a custom cake for my daughter’s birthday ! Amazing job!!
I got my wedding cake through Benkerts bakery and it was absolutely perfect. I had a very specific cake request that required fresh flowers included on top and it looked amazing. The cake tasted so good!! We wanted fresh strawberry jam in our cake which many bakeries were unable to do, but Benkerts did it and knocked it out of the park. The jam had chunks of strawberries in it which is exactly what I wanted. They delivered our cake on time and in perfect condition. I would definitely recommend Benkerts to anyone looking for a perfect wedding cake. Best cake I’ve ever eaten in my life!
My husband and I got our Wedding Cake from Benkert's in October. The cake was perfect and exactly what we wanted. The bakery offered a take-home cake tasting kit, which was great for us to be able to sample and make decisions. We were able to do each tier in a different flavor, and the cake was absolutely delicious. We had many guests specifically compliment how good the cake was. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding cake.
I needed a '65' birthday cake with specific ingredients: custard, berries, and flaky pastry in the middle. Because it was for 80 people, it was two separate cakes. They knocked it out of the park! It was like two giant Napoleons. Ordered on Thursday and picked up on Saturday, and a much lower price than other quotes. The cakes were the highlight of the party. Friendly service also. The only hitch was they made '56' instead.
