ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!!! A review will never do the finished product justice, it was incredible! I received more compliments on the dessert table than the actual food! THANK you a million times over Alexis! I can’t wait to work with you on future parties!!!

Thank you for the beautiful cake. It was a big hit at my daughter’s baby shower. It looked (and tasted) great! Thanks again for your efforts!

If you are looking for a WOW cake for your loved one, one that everyone at the party will remember and talk about, give them a try. They are not the ordinary…but who wants an ordinary cake? They worked with our simple yet elegant design idea and my daughter was thrilled to have a beautiful cake. Delicious too! I was almost as excited about the cake as I was the gift .

We have been visiting since the shop in Dublin. The cupcakes/cakes are decadent and divine! We recently took a class in the new location and had an absolutely wonderful time. The store is gorgeous, wonderful music, and Alexis is a great teacher. She willing to share all the techniques and tips she has learned to build beautiful cakes. Highly recommended!

Stopped in here today to get some cupcakes to satisfy my sweet tooth and this shop knows how to please! The owner Alexis is so sweet and nice and helpful. I couldn’t believe the variety of cupcakes to choose from! I finally settled on chocolate, vanilla, peach and at her recommendation orange and they were all so so delicious! I had a little bite of each one when I got home and they were super delicious! Their new location is beautiful! So lovely with gorgeous decorations! If you’re having a craving for sweets this is the place to go!

The Novel Baker is the ONLY place we trust with all of our custom cake and cupcake needs! Simple and elegant, or fun and festive…there is no theme that this cake boutique can’t handle. Every creation is a showstopper and the taste is perfectly divine.

Alexis exceeded our expectations with our wedding cake in both taste and design. It was not only a visual masterpiece of timeless & simplicity that we wanted, but each layer was a delectable delight. The attention to our preferences was evident, making it a personalized and unforgettable centerpiece next to our sweetheart table. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how delicious and beautifully crafted it was. The coffee icing layers were a hit!!! Alexis hand delivered our cake on time & decorated it on the spot at the venue! Choosing the Novel Baker for our wedding cake was definitely a highlight of our celebration. We can’t wait to come back for our 1 year for a delicious memory of our wedding day.

We hired Alexis to make our dream wedding cake, and she did not disappoint!! From the beginning with our cake tasting, we were highly impressed by the beginning. The chocolate chip cake was INCREDIBLE and we were not left with any leftovers at our wedding! Best cakes hands down!
