“I knew very early in my wedding planning process that we did not want a traditional wedding cake and wanted to have a dessert bar instead. I am so grateful to Melissa at Bear Brook Bakery for giving us that option - once I saw photos of her work and menu on her website, I wanted no one else and I'm ecstatic she was available and worked with us. Melissa's desserts were honestly one of my favorite parts of the day. Like...second to actually getting to marry my husband. I was getting ready as she dropped things off and set up so I didn't get to see them until I walked into the reception and I was absolutely blown away. The cookies, cake shooters, mini pies, etc. that we ordered looked absolutely tantalizing. Everything was delicious but my personal favorite of the treats that night were the vanilla bean tarts topped with fresh fruit. They were perfection. I loved, too, that multiple guests came up to me at the reception to rave about the dessert bar and how delicious everything was. My dad, who had initially been a little put off that I wasn't doing a traditional cake, came up to me after a few minutes at the dessert bar to tell me that the mini blueberry pies were amazing and he wouldn't doubt me again (haha). For me, wedding cakes have never been memorable. Having been to a dozen weddings in my life, I just don't remember any individual cakes tasting great or looking so beautiful that they stuck in my mind. Melissa's dessert bar though? I don't see myself or my guests forgetting that anytime soon. Melissa, you're amazing and if I were planning this wedding again, I wouldn't work with anyone else for desserts.”

“Martha was amazing!!!! We were blown away with Martha's capability in design, flavor and originality. She was very exciting and collaborative in developing the flavors we envisioned for our wedding day. As an Asian American, there is a void in Asian flavors in cakes/designs in the area of Maine/New Hampshire that we are in. She not only is excited about Asian flavor profiles but has training and experiences with this. She not only created a custom cake flavor (Honey Ginger Cake) but custom dessert bar as well (Adzuki hamentaschen, Matcha cupcake with strawberry compote and adzuki vegan buttercream, and Black Sesame-Dark Chocolate Mochi). The desserts and cake were absolutely delicious and everyone raved about the variety and expertise of the desserts. We definitely heard people say that our cake was the best cake they have ever had at a wedding. Not only did she make original recipes for our wedding, but also complied with the number of dietary restrictions that were needed for our wedding day (dairy free). Her cake design and attention to detail was amazing. She made a ton of little easter eggs of our favorite characters and symbols that were important to us. We have been so pleased and would use her again for any specialty desserts we may need for an event or just for ourselves. We cannot wait for our anniversary cake. She is so worth it. There were times she was busy that she warned us about that would make it hard to communicate with her. We understood and trusted her plan and process and couldn't have been happier with everything. Martha brings a ton of great energy to the process of wedding dessert planning. We strongly recommend her and for any Asians looking for an Asian styled/flavored cake, I would recommend Hanami Cake and as the greatest compliment from an Asian her desserts were 'Not Too Sweet." Absolutely Amazing!”

At Least, There Will Be Cake

5.0

Starts at $800
Serves Portland, ME

Hi! I'm Molly, owner of At Least, There Will Be Cake. With a background in pastry and a love of cake from my grandmother I opened my in-home bakery in 2017. My passion is to create delicious cakes with unique designs to enhance your special day of celebration.

“Molly was incredible as a person, a vendor, and a baker. We found Molly's business online and saw the wonderful reviews. We had an initial meeting to talk about price, process, and flavors. We really wanted to bring out the best in the fresh fruits that were to be included with the cakes. After talking with Molly we set up a tasting with a slate of combinations of cakes, frostings, and fruited layers that would help us decide. We drove to pick them up and for a low price, we were given 5 mini-cakes, decorated and ready for us to try at home. This was perfect for us as it allowed us to get our family to join us in the tasting. Once we tasted everything and decided on flavors, it was a breeze to schedule the delivery. We sent Molly our florists info and copies of some of our paper materials to get inspiration for the design. Molly is definitely a pro and on the day of the wedding, got everything set up. The cake looked incredible and tasted even better. She added some flowers from our florist to accent the cake and match our existing floral arrangements. All of our guests loved both layers of the cake: the rich, colorful blueberry cake with a sharp lemony frosting and delicious lemon curd, plus a Yellow Cake with the Raspberry Compote and Vanilla Buttercream. The pricing was very reasonable, considering that it included delivery, and the cake. 100% would recommend Molly to anyone in New England who wants a delicious and beautiful wedding cake.”

“Drew was fantastic to work with. She was quick to respond, set up a zoom meeting, and provided me with all her info so fast. It was an obvious choice to get our cake from her. She even gave me questions to ask my florist for the flowers on the cake. The cake itself was so beautiful and tasted amazing. I am very thankful to find such a good vegan cake! When I told people it was vegan, they were shocked because of how good it was.”

Chic Party Carts

Serves Portland, ME

CHIC is a culmination of my retail, styling, and design background. Truthfully, the idea of this little biz was created while on lockdown during the pandemic, a little unorthodox I know, but I was determined. I identified this gap in the market the summer prior... after struggling to find a pretty dessert cart for an event at my client's new business launch. Viola! CHIC cotton candy was born, serving the cosmopolitan Boston market; giving a traditional childhood treat-- a chic upgrade. Wherever the party is, we want to be there for you! xo
