I was blown away with the birthday cake we recently ordered for my MIL’s 94th. It was absolutely perfect! Everyone said it was the best carrot cake they’ve ever had! The decoration was beyond what I had imagined! The cake made her day extra special and I would highly recommend this place for any special occasion.

About 13 or 14 years ago I purchased my sister's wedding cake for her. It was a duplicate of what her Wedding Gown looked like. It was Absolutely Gorgeous. They had a Lil shop in lancaster. So Nice to see how far they've come. Thier amazing One Day Hopefully soon when me and my Fiance can get the funds together for our Dream Wedding Best Believe I'll be ordering My Dream Wedding Cake from these Amazing Artist.

If I could give House of Clarendon 10 stars I would. Everyone who works there is incredibly kind. And the cakes AMAZING! They made my birthday cake and it was incredible, everyone loved it. The cake was exactly what I wanted in design and taste. House of Clarendon is a 10/10 place!

My wedding cake was amazing! I’ve been to several weddings throughout my life and a lot of the cakes were beautiful but the taste wasn’t anything to write home about. This was not my case. My cake was beautiful and delicious. Endless compliments from my guests. So good there wasn’t any left over to bring home! I was lucky enough to be able to make some changes/upgrade my order in relatively short notice and the staff was extremely accommodating. I am more than satisfied with the service and the product. House of Claredon will be my go to for cakes for any event from now on. Recommend 10/10.

When we met with Martine and shared the theme of our wedding (love letters and books), he immediately got inspired. Not only did he sketch an amazing concept for our cake on the spot, he also thought of a really cool idea for the cake stand and gave us some advice on how to execute it. When he arrived on the day with our cake, he fixed some issues the venue made with our display, which I was not there to catch because I was busy getting married! I am so thankful he was there to make it right because we all worked so hard to make the dream a reality. The best part: this cake not only looked incredible, but was one of the best-tasting desserts I have ever had. All of the Claredon cakes are delicious (we have indulged in several cupcakes as well) but I highly recommend the champagne cake, which is what we had on our wedding. Thanks again to Martine and his team, I knew we could trust you, but it is a unique attribute in a vendor to put a bride and groom at ease. You exceeded our expectations!

This bakery deserves 10 stars!!! What a dream experience. A large group of friends were celebrating a retirement at the Eden Resort. None of us were familiar with bakeries in the area. I chose House of Clarendon for its positive reviews. I was in for the most pleasant of surprises.Our overnight stay ended up being during a snow and ice storm. Martine was a gem. This is the best customer service I have received in years!Most importantly, the cupcakes were THE BEST. Extremely moist and FLAVORFUL. I noticed the negative reviews complain that they have no flavor. Is that because they aren't SUPER sweet? We ALL loved them because they weren't too sweet. We had Vanilla Rum Chata, Pink Champagne, Almond Raspberry, Chocolate Baileys Mousse, and Orange Dream. Each even smelled like its ingredients. And those with alcohol were not overpowering.Martine, I cannot thank you enough for making this happen. I am sitting here now craving more. I'll be back soon and you'll be seeing a number of my local Lancaster friends sooner.

Martine from House of Clarendon was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. From our first meeting to discuss our wedding vision, we knew we were in good hands. We discussed changes in the coming months and Martine handled everything so kindly, he was a breath of fresh air during a stressful time! He delivered our beautiful cake himself and made sure everything was perfect. Literally our best wedding vendor. Don't miss out on Martine - he not only bakes delicious cakes, but he's really just so nice (and funny). No regrets here. Thanks, Martine!! :)

The cake was beautiful and exactly what I asked for, but the real heart of this review was the kindness and flexibility of the staff! Clear communication on style, flavor, and pricing and they were quick to reply to emails. Willing to adjust pickup without hesitation and showed great understanding and empathy for our situation. Bonus points for the shop itself being clean cut and elegant! They’ve got a return customer in us!

This time last year we ordered a cake with Martine ( who was nothing short of awesome!) and it was absolutely amazing! It was delicious and looked great! We are now heading back for another cake! Can't wait!
Martine was phenomenal! The cake he made was absolutely beautiful and it was delicious! Highly recommend, as he provided 5 start service.

To celebrate my father’s 70th birthday, I worked with Martine at House of Clarendon to design a custom decorated carrot cake. The cake was beautiful and tasted amazing. Their carrot cake is the real deal- chunks of carrot, dried fruit, and nuts. Everyone enjoyed it, and it was a beautiful cake to commemorate the occasion. Thank you Martine and House of Clarendon!

I do not know if there has been a change of management or something else but I cannot recommend this place anymore. I have gone to this shop at least twice for birthday cakes for myself and my friend. She was impressed by the designs and after having my recommendation, wanted to give House of Clarendon a chance.However during consultation, the employee was quite condescending. They were not interested in her idea and unwilling to work with her to find the blend of imagery and elements to make it (such as piping vs fondant). It also was such a pain to ask about price break down and somehow it is appropriate to suggest a bare bones cake that she can 'buy a little cake topper' instead of actually help designing a cake within their abilities.She ended up going with a different bakery and I will not be returning.

I ordered a birthday cake from House of Clarendon for my 17th birthday. OMG!! It was beautiful and so detailed. Not only was Martine so helpful, he also went above and beyond when it came time to order cupcakes. The cake was delicious and so were the cupcakes. I will definitely be coming back!

We had our wedding cake made from then in 2017 and it was absolutely amazing! My husband got me a birthday cake this year and it was exceptional as always. Definitely the best place to get cakes!
