We ordered a custom cake, cookies, and cupcakes for our twins first birthday and everything was amazing!
Yeaterday my hubby came home with my favorite cake from Zachary's Pastry Shoppe! If you know me you know how much I love the raspberry cake from there! Brandy or Cindy got me started on this. So the first year Ray bought it independently it was wrong. So last year Cindy/Brandy told him what to order, it was PERFECT! The kind lady at the store wrote it down and said this is what you say when you call next time. Fast forward to Monday he get’s his note out, calls and orders. So I’m so excited last night to dig in….. and……. it’s effing chocolate cake which I don’t like AT ALL! So today I call and the lady who gets on the phine said “I took the order and remember specifically asking him if it was our chocolate cake” Supposedly he said “I guess”. This is a $50 cake, not a 20 carvel cake! I said well did he read this slip to you and I read what the lady wrote. She said oh well I don’t remember. BUT you remeber asking if it was Chocolate cake!! Why would you asked that based off what he read/asked for?!?! She suggest in the future I call and place the order and speak to her directly. I asked if I should call and surprise myself for my birthday and Valentine’s Day?! Oh, and no offer to rectify their mistake just blame on the customer!!!
How to avoidid future problems?
NEVER SHOP AT ZACHARYS AGAIN!!!

Ordered a custom birthday cake which was very easy, just called and sent them a picture of what I was looking for. Cake was incredibly moist and delicious. Everyone at the party RAVED about it! Definitely recommend

Picked up some items today. Could not wait to get home to be disappointed in the $18 snowballs I got. They were definitely overcooked. Not moist and melt in your mouth that I am use to in other shops. For the price if I did not live 45 minutes away I would have taken them back.
If you’re looking for delicious pies for a special occasion (like Thanksgiving), don’t go to Zachary’s . The pumpkin and apple pies I ordered from them were awful. At $20 a piece I was so very disappointed.
We bought our wedding cake from Zackary's and our guests can not stop talking about how good it was! The staff was so nice in helping us choose a design and providing a take home tasting box to sample everything. Would easily come here again for any cakes I need for future celebrations!

Zachary’s made the most beautiful and delicious cake for our August 30th wedding! They perfectly captured our design vision and flavor preferences, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about it! The team was professional, easy to work with, and seamlessly delivered the cake to our venue without a hitch. We highly recommend Zachary’s for any special occasion!

Ordered a custom photo cake for our friends' birthdays. They did an AMAZING job, it was so delicious 😋 The frosting is super decadent and plentiful... can't wait to order from them again!

UNPROFESSIONAL!!! DO NOT CHOOSE FOR YOUR WEDDING!! I had my wedding June 14. Zachary’s bakery made my cake for me. I sent them many pictures of my cake topper and they told me it would absolutely fit on top of the cake and to leave it at my venue the night before. When I walked down the aisle I could immediately see they never put the cake topper on it. They placed it next to the cake. They did not even make the top tier big enough and had placed flowers on top of it. To say I am disappointed is an understatement. I tried to reach out the day after my wedding for an explanation and they have not answered me back.
Amazing business to work with! Our wedding cake showed up right on time and was exactly what we asked for- a birch wood looking cake. It was more than enough for 75 people and was the best tasting cake I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to pull out our top layer next year!!

Ordered our wedding cake for Memorial Day weekend and they did not disappoint! The cake came out exactly as we ordered, and we got rave compliments at the wedding about how good it was. Their frosting and filling are so delicious and not overly sweet. Also super affordable prices. Highly recommend!
