Their philosophy centers on making the dessert not only look exquisite but taste phenomenal, prioritizing flavor and natural ingredients above all else.
The dedication to quality is evident in their strict ingredient standards: Buttercream uses **fresh butter**, fresh fruit instead of jams, and a signature, light frosting made with heavy cream and **white chocolate mousse**—a refreshing alternative to heavy, traditional buttercream or fondant.

Buttercream Wedding Cakes Reviews

★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1I truly can’t recommend Buttercream enough! I used them for my wedding, and I’m still thinking about how stunning and delicious everything was.As a lifelong cupcake lover, I tried at least 7-8 different bakeries around the cities before finding and picking Buttercream. Their cupcakes are incredibly moist, perfectly balanced in flavor (not too sweet!), and noticeably larger than your average cupcake.The staff were great-always helpful and responsive. The entire process was smooth and stress-free. The pricing was also more reasonable than I expected, which was a pleasant surprise. Highly recommend!
August 14 · Holly OsborneOrdered a naked, lemon sunshine cake. During the wedding, Lancer Catering from the Como Zoo informed us of the wrong flavors. After the wedding, we took the photos and asked for a refund. The disrespect and unprofessional responses from Buttercream's owner was hard to swallow. They might make high quality deserts, but when Buttercream messes up, they do not take criticism well. I know you might see this review only when you have a disappointing experience after a wedding or special event, but know you are not alone. Wedding companies will push this business and I hope they improve their professionalism. We paid $475 for the cake, $125 for the custom design, and $95 for their delivery. In the end, Lancer Catering refunded $320.96 and Buttercream refunded $89.95. I added a star for the refund, but it will take weeks to get responses. In the end, the owner still called me Michael and I walked away disappointed with this company as a whole.
July 25 · Mitchell KnegendorfOur wedding cake from Buttercream was perfect! I’m not a big fan of the typical heavy buttercream frosting, but despite their name, the frosting Buttercream Bakery uses is actually very light - almost like whipped cream! So many people at our wedding commented about how good the cake was. We had zero issues with delivery and everything went very smoothly.
June 28 · Jamie BoggsThey created our wedding cake just what I envisioned not to mention taste was amazing . Our guests raved on how yummy the cake was and the gold matched perfectly with my stand I had bought as well ! They do a great job !
May 23 · Paige BWe got our wedding cake and cupcakes from Buttercream, and the response from our guests could not be better. First, they were gorgeous to look at. Second, the flavor variety to choose from was incredible. Third, they really really were SO tasty. We found them a little late in the wedding planning game, and they were so accommodating to work with, especially on short notice. Nothing too overpriced, especially for how great they were! Loved this decision for our big day, and our guests loved them as well!
