***The Day of Wedding Cake Tasted AMAZING and looked GREAT!!! And there were plenty of cake pieces for all of our guests (We had about 80 guests in total)***We booked through Walters and Jenny Layne Bakery was the provided cake vendor. The planning experience with the bakery is decent, as now the actual wedding planning rep/manager will be the person to discuss the cake design, clients will no longer work directly with the bakery.There were 4 choices for the wedding cake/desserts: 4 - Tiered Wedding Cake; Traditional Duo; Modern Trio; Petite Cake & Desserts. We went with the very classic and quintessential smooth 4-tier cake, and the two flavors we chose were "The Most Popular" and "Chocolate Espresso (I believe now they changed it to Classic Chocolate)".We had the opportunities to go to several tastings in 2023 and we tried almost all the flavors and the various desserts the bakery offers. We were having some concerns as the cake flavors, although were good, the texture was hit or miss. In addition, the other desserts we tried were all alright, nothing spectacular. Due to those reason we were concern how the wedding cake would turn out and rightfully so!Amazingly, the cake for our wedding not only tasted AMAZING, but also looked so classy and elegant. In addition, there were PLENTY of cake SLICES for our guests (Each guest could easily have both flavors and some more! I personally attended weddings before where the cake was not even a bite!)I would give the bakery a high rating and say they have done an amazing job for our wedding! I did not get to see the bakery staff assemble the cascade floral, but it turned out looking stunning! Huge props to both The Jenny Layne Bakery and The Design Haus for our wedding cake!

Our wedding venue booked Jenny Layne Bakery, for our bakery. She does not disappoint! Laeticia made the taste testing so easy, it is already boxed up for you to bring home and enjoy. All the flavors are delicious, it was a tough choice to make. The designs we asked for turned out, the cakes tasted great. She even gives you a box to bring the top tier home in.

Worst cookie cake I have ever had. My granddaughters husband wanted a cookie cake for the wedding. This cookie cake they made was not eatable. So sad that Walters Wedding Venue makes you use this bakery. It is so disappointing!

Recommend you do multiple taste tests (not just what they look like) before you sign a contract. We considered JLB for our wedding and good thing we got 3 separate tastings. All were terrible; dry, tasteless and cheap ingredients. We will NOT choose JLB, my 5 year kid bakes better

Terrified for my wedding. We tried ALL the cake and deserts over 3 times on separate occasions and each time it was all extremely dry and tasted like sawdust. It breaks my heart that this is even possible. I don’t think the owner is involved anymore since they have large contracts. I am praying that this changes before my wedding. We can’t have horrible cake! No one wants that!

Jenny Layne Bakery did a fantastic job with my wedding cakes. They were gorgeous and completely matched my vision. Not only were they beautiful, they tasted amazing! Cannot recommend them enough. I also must compliment them for their great communication pre-event!

Jenny Layne Bakery had the whole process on lock. For tastings, they have a dozen cupcakes of each flavor along with several sample desserts to take home, giving you plenty of time to taste and decide. The cake itself was beautiful and yummy, but we have to highlight the additional desserts they provide. Initially, we were thinking of just the traditional bride and groom cakes, but after tasting the cake pops, brownies, and cookies, we knew we had to also have a dessert table. Both the cake and the desserts were the talk of the wedding.-Jennifer and Jeremy

Beautiful puzzle piece bride's cake for us, and rad disc golf groom's cake for him. Well, I play too. Check it out.
This team did our wedding cake. I asked if they could do bluebonnets and I loved the result. We chose raspberry and strawberry flavors and it tasted fantastic! I highly recommend The Jenny Layne Bakery for your wedding.

Even before I was engaged I knew that if I ever got married I would want my cake to come from The Jenny Layne Bakery. The cakes here are delicious and are beautifully decorated. Everyone at our wedding loved the cake. Thank you Jenny! You and your team are amazing

Salty DisappointmentNormally wedding cakes are sweet, but my own experience with Jenny Layne Bakery (JLB) for my wedding cake was salty. It started out well enough; Jenny is kind and cares about her work (we met her at an open house event). I chose her because of her accolades, her beautiful cakes on Instagram, the fact that my MOH enjoyed working with her, and because she was my venue’s preferred baker. All good things, right? So I thought.My now-husband, parents, and I tasted boxed up cupcakes instead of an in person cake tasting post-Covid. I wasn’t impressed by most of the cupcake flavors, but it was too late since we’d already booked with JLB, and I thought, “At least the final cake will be beautiful.”After I researched wedding cakes, Jenny and I personally worked on the wedding cake design together. I was excited with what we came up with! A lovely white cake with royal blue ribbon, an edible “C” crest for my new last name, and some classy pearl necklaces wrapped around two tiers to match the one I’d wear that day.Come wedding day, I saw the wedding cake for the first time at the reception and was surprised to learn that there wasn’t one but two things wrong with the cake. First, the “C” crest was missing. Second, the pearl necklaces had slid off the rims of the tiers in several places, so they were more pearl “L” shaped (see pictures below).After my honeymoon, I reached out to JLB and nicely asked what happened, sending pictures of the cake design vs. the final reception result. Jenny herself let me know that it was “a sad cake” and asked how she could make it up to me as she understood she couldn’t redo my wedding cake. She also explained that the delivery person dropped the edible crest, which she forgot to tell me earlier, and it seemed the pearls had melted in the sun. Apparently 72 degrees is too hot for a professional four tier wedding cake, but not a one tier groom’s cake my mother’s friend made that had traveled over 250 miles in a car without an issue. Thus, I asked for a refund.A few days later, Jenny’s assistant let me know they could not give a refund because “Walters does not offer refunds and because we do not handle the financials as it pertains to the wedding packages.” Aka because I went with the Walters Weddings vendor package and preferred bakery, the bakery can’t do a refund directly, as we paid the Walters Wedding venue for the cake. Therefore, Walters would need to refund the bakery for the cake (or something like that). JLB could offer a new anniversary tier or $50 in store credit to be used by the end of the year.Mind you, JLB did not bother to reach out about the “C” crest being damaged even though they knew it was upon arrival. The venue placed the cake where they normally do as this bakery and venue have worked together countless times with Jenny Layne Bakery listed as its preferred vendor.I reached out to the venue’s GM and told her the story. Before I got to what Jenny Layne Bakery was offering, the general manager asked, “Did you get a refund?” I told her what JLB was offering (just $50 credit or a new tier) and the GM said she’d see what she could do.Nearly three weeks later, I followed up with the venue GM again. Then Jenny reached out and offered the same $50, but now as a refund, store credit, or an anniversary tier.We opted for the $50 refund, a salty disappointment to what I was expecting to be a sweet and beautiful wedding cake. If you’ve made it to the end of this review, please know Jenny Layne Bakery doesn’t come recommended from me because they made not one but two mistakes, and because of the lackluster consolidation offered. I chose this bakery primarily for the aesthetics - and that’s where they fell short *twice* with my wedding cake. So I’m coming home with $50 to make up for this “sad cake.”Brides to be, something will go wrong on your wedding day. But ensure your vendors care enough about you as a customer to try to right their wrongs, as I experienced with my hair stylist, but not with my bakery.

We used The Jenny Layne Bakery for our wedding cake and desserts!The team was so polite and well organized! We chose the Italian Cream Cake for our cake flavor and the amazing desert bar. The sugar cookies were perfect, the chocolate covered strawberries were divine. The pumpkin pie and banana pudding was delicious. The cake was just as I pictured it. Our family and friends also were a big fan of all the other desserts!Jenny and her team are amazing. I couldn’t recommend them enough!!
