Joan's Cake Chateau

Joan was great to work with. I went in person once and since I live out of town, my parents dropped off the cake design I had in mind and it came out exactly as I imagined it with the Irish knot. It was beautiful and tasted great too!

I used this bakery form my daughter's birthdays when she was small and knew that this would be the perfect bakery for my son-in-law's grooms cake. Joan did a wonderful job! Not only was the cake unique, but it tasted how I remembered it...moist, and yummy!

We provided Joan with a picture of the cake we wanted and she made it wonderfully! Unfortunately we didn't get any besides what ended up on our faces ;) but all of the guests said it was delicious. The cherry blossoms were handmade and there was a lot of detail in the cake.

I had never heard of Joan's before and was very nervous about the cake..... My mom had said they used her all the time at her job and she never ate anything bad from there.... The prices were fantastic and they dealt well with me two weeks out from the wedding when I decided to change my mind on the cake design. The cake was beautiful, yummy and is still, 3 weeks later, adding the lbs to my hips and butt!

I used Joan's Cake Chateau because she said that she could make the cake I wanted (from a Martha Stewart Weddings picture) and was about 1/2 the cost of all the other cake bakers I called. She does not have as many flavor combinations as other places, but I was serving other desserts at the wedding and was not too concerned about the flavors. The cake required using some "springerle" molds. I offered to purchase some, but she happened to collect them and actually had the same ones used in the magazine picture. The cake was beautiful! It looked just like the one in the magazine, and I was recently told that my cake will be featured in a local magazine. It tasted good, too. She covered the cake in buttercream prior too putting the fondant over it. I would use Joan again.
