We got the Banana Hazelnut Crunch for our 2 year old’s birthday party and it was amazing! Everyone loved it! They were also very helpful when I wanted to make sure I would have space for my topper and when I asked for chocolate drizzle.I will definitely be ordering from here again ❤️

We ordered two cakes (one was a smash cake) and sandwich cookies for my daughter's first birthday. We were absolutely delighted with how they turned out. The cakes were beautifully decorated and everything was delicious. Everyone at the party was asking where they came from. We will definitely be ordering from here for events in the future. Thank you so much for helping to make the day so special!

We ordered a 3 tier cake for our wedding and it turned out amazing! The owner worked with us on the design and it came out even better than we imagined. We received numerous compliments from our guests on both the look and how great it tasted.

We ordered our wedding cake and rehearsal dinner desserts (macaroons) through from The Baked Lab and had the best experience! From the tasting, to ordering, to design, to delivery, Shawn's passion for baking and desire to deliver a beautiful memorable experience for every cake really comes through! Our guests are still raving about how amazing everything dessert we had from them was and how beautiful our cake was. We can't recommend Shawn and his team enough and our whole family is already looking for other celebrations to order cake from them for!

Shawn and his team did amazing on our wedding cupcake bar! Not only was it beautiful, but all night people were asking where these cupcakes were from because they’re so tasty! The flavor profiles had a great variety and Shawn is so talented in his designs too. Shawn was wonderful to communicate and work with too throughout the planning process. He was clear and collaborative about what our vision/expectations were and he by far exceeded them. Would highly recommend Shawn and The Baked Lab for any occasion you want yummy treats at!

Is there anything they CANT do at The Baked Lab? Cookies, cakes, macarons, birthday tarts, the list goes on! Loved our most recent experience learning how to make macarons. Besides the good vibes, you’ll get a little education in the science behind it all. 10/10 recommend!

Im not sure if we just got a bad batch based off all of the 5 star reviews everyone else had but my fiancée had bought an Oreo cake they offer for my 24th birthday as a surprise and it was quite disappointing. He had picked it up the night before and gave it to me early in the morning the next day and the cake was extremely dry, dense, and crumbly. It looked very nice and pretty there’s no doubt about that, but as far as the taste the Oreo tasted stale, frosting was really thick, kind of like clay, and the actual cake was dense and dry. It looks good in pictures but doesn’t taste like you hope it would. Honestly would rather have a cake from a grocery store bakery that’s light and fluffy compared to this one. Like I said, not sure if it was just one bad batch but this was my experience.

The Baked Lab was such a pleasure to work with! We decided to do a small cutting cake and it was beautifully decorated as well as so so delicious. We also did an assortment of macarons, shooters, and shortbread cookies and I cannot say enough about how good everything was! We got so many compliments from our guests about the desserts and how good they were. Highly highly recommend The Baked Lab for any event!

Do not even bother trying any of the other cake shops in Madison. The baked lab is by far the best place to make your wedding dreams come true. Shawn and his team are amazing and truly made the wedding dessert table of our dreams. Everyone at our wedding couldn't stop raving about how good the desserts were thanks to the Baked Lab Team!

We had a great experience working with Shawn on our wedding cake. From the moment we met him at our tasting we knew he was the right baker for us!Everything he let us sample was very delicious. We ended up going with a three tier cake with the Salty Chocoholic, Lemon Pie w/ Salty Cookie, and Tuxedo flavors. All three were a hit with our guestsThe aesthetics of the cake were also very important to us, and he listened to everything we said while adding his own style and flair. It was also seamlessly delivered and set up at the venue. 10/10 would recommend.
Booked Shawn for our wedding and had a wonderful experience! Everything looked and tasted amazing and he was very flexible with our off-menu dirt cups request. We got a ton of compliments on both the cake flavors we went with (Banana Hazelnut and Cookies and Cream). Highly recommend!!

From the tasting to the final cake delivery, The Baked Lab was incredible. Shawn really listened to us and was helpful even when we had a hard time explaining what exactly we wanted, and when we needed changes or advice, Shawn made sure everything was right. We sampled a few cakes and The Baked Lab had the best experience and the best tasting cake, hands down. We ended up with a champagne cake with raspberry but there wasn't a single flavor that wasn't incredible. Our cake came out beautifully and the guests gushed about how delicious it was. The delivery was smooth and very well thought out.

Shawn made a tiered cake for our wedding and we loved it! The Baked Lab has the best tasting frosting we tried from Madison area bakeries. I don't like a lot of American buttercreams because I find them too sweet but his frosting is perfect. The modern cake designs are also unique for the Madison area and was exactly what we wanted for our wedding.

When we got engaged, one of the first things we decided on in our planning efforts was that in addition to a traditional cake, we would serve whoopie pies at the reception. However, finding a baker to deliver on this vision proved harder than we anticipated, until we found fellow New England-raised Shawn and the Baked Lab! Shawn was easy to work with, flexible with our travel schedules and changing flavor profiles, and provided a beautiful, delicious cake and whoopie pies that could have come straight from the East Coast! Thank you so much, Shawn!
