Mouth watering flavors. Can't wait to eat the double chocolate that we put on the top of our cake only. Everything we tasted was amazing. And the decorations on the cake were exquisite.

A cake from the Icing on the Cake was part of our venue's wedding package. Working with Paula and her team was an absolute pleasure! They accommodated all of our special requests, even "testing" a variety of edible rhinestones to make sure they would work on our cake. On the day of, the cake looked absolutely spectacular--better than I even imagined--and tasted delicious! The cake was moist and fluffy and the buttercream (no fondant here) was perfect!
All in all, a great...

Oh my gosh! what a surprise it was to walk into my reception on my new years eve wedding and see my wonderful cake. it was truly better than I imagined. It was just a three tier, but I added bling to the bottom and black scroll, per Paula's input, last minute and the black scroll made it!! Paula and her team sat down with us to design it and pick the cake flavor. She got back to emails as I was living out of state and did last minute additions before the wedding. The cake was the last thing I was thinking about as a concern the day of my wedding and it just showed up, perfect and delicious. Not to mention the cake came with my wedding package at the millennium hotel and they still went above and beyond!!

While the cupcakes we had at our wedding were delicious, I was fairly disappointed with how they looked. I had provided The Icing on the Cake with an image of what I was looking for, and they let me know that they could definitely match that photo. Both the swirl of the icing and the silver ball decorations were very different from the photo provided. That being said, they did taste great and I know our guests enjoyed them. In the end I wish we had picked a design from their catalog of work instead of providing them with something different. That way we would have known for sure they could accomplish our vision. I would not have gone with a different baker, because they definitely have the best tasting cakes around.

Our cake was beautiful and tasted even better. It was so good that a lot of our guests had seconds and there was none leftover. They are definite professionals in their industry. They took our design ideas and interpreted them onto the cake even better than we could have imagined.

Beautiful AND delicious! When we found out that our cake was included in our wedding package at the Lenox Hotel in downtown Boston we were so happy; every time someone asked who was doing our cake for the wedding, their response to TIOC was “I loooooove the Icing on the Cake!”, and rightfully so! It was an incredibly tough decision at the tasting, but we selected a tier of chocolate mousse cake and two tiers of carrot cake – a-mazing. It was a true pleasure to work with Paula and the gang, they were reassuring, happy to hear any ideas and to make suggestions and produced a beautiful work of art that tasted like heaven – our guests are still raving!

I went with Icing on The Cake (TIOTC).They are small and let you taste all kinds of flavors. Its really awesome. They helped us finish out the design. The pricing was excellent. The cake was right on time. It was really beautiful. I literally looked through tons of bakers. I went with TIOTC because two restaurants I worked with loved their cake. Icing on The Cake is located in Newton. Nothing like a little envy from other foodies. Yum
Good...

The Icing on the Cake did a great job on our cake. They were very responsive and friendly when we called for a price quote/appt (which is saying something because 3 places in the Boston area never returned my calls or followed up with my inquiries). Paula was very flexible, helping us pick out a cake with our budget in mind, and the cake tasted delicious.

We heard about The Icing on the Cake from our reception site and were not disappointed. We had a consultation/tasting with Paula a few months before the wedding and she designed a beautiful (and delicious) cake for us. We chose the golden amaretto cake and had comments from our guests all night about how good it was. We couldn't even wait to have more and ate our cake topper within a week. Luckily, they offer an anniversary cake if we send a professional photo of the cake so we'll get to have more next year!

The Icing on the Cake was amazing!! They worked with us to create a beautiful wedding cake that worked with the rest of the wedding, and all the cake flavors are to die for. Everyone at our wedding was raving about how delicious the cake was. We have purchased cakes from TIOTC for engagement parties and bridal showers as well. The cakes are always creative and perfect for the occasion. I would recommend TIOTC to anyone who loves cake!!

Our reception wedding package included a cake from The Icing on the Cake. We went to try the cake samples (all delicious!) and were able to sit to design our cake to what we wanted. It was such an easy process and entirely stress free. For a small fee, we were able to customize the cake to exactly what we wanted, which was well worth it. The cake at the wedding was perfect and delicious! I would highly recommend getting a wedding cake from them!

They seemed flexible enough, but didn't follow through on things they said they'd follow through on - like showing us the design of the cake before actually making the cake. They sold us on a design that would be elegant and beautiful and just ended up looking cheap. The cake also didn't taste nearly as good as the cake we tried.

Our cake was delicious and beautiful. Paul and team exceeded expectations. So glad we get the free anniversary cake. No way could I have saved the topper for a year.

The Icing on the Cake was the preferred bakery of our reception venue so we were really hoping to love them when we met Paula for a tasting and consultation. We were not disappointed! Paula was welcoming and kind when discussing our cake. She had great ideas and understood the vision for the wedding and how the cake should fit into it. She sketched out a cake that perfectly fit our decor. And the tasting! YUM. The flavors are creative and well executed. We actually had a hard time choosing. We ended up doing half red velvet and half golden amaretto. On the evening of the wedding, I got teary when I saw the cake--it was WAY better than I had even imagined. I could not get over how perfectly it matched the other decor. The cake tasted amazing also of course! The guests went crazy for it and we were thrilled. Can't wait to enjoy our complimentary anniversary cake next year!

The wedding cake not only was amazing in taste but was designed just as we discussed at our tasting. The design was taken from a few different images that we discussed and came it out perfect . It met all over our expectations. The (2) flavors we selected impressed our guests especial the red velvet tier. My grandmother has always made the best red velvet cake we have ever had and she had Icing on the Cake's at the wedding and was very impressed and even mentioned it may be better then hers which is a very high compliment. We certainly would recommend them for any event, they had so many great flavors to choose from that it was very difficult to narrow down. Thanks to Icing on the cake for the perfect wedding cake.

All I have to say is that some of my guests had two or three slices of my wedding cake because it was that good! TIOTC worked with me to have 3 different flavors to satisfy my husband and my tastes. They provided us with gluten free cupcakes for our guests and they were in constant contact to make sure they had the right design we wanted. It ended up looking as good as it tasted! The buttercream frosting as also to die for!
For the rehearsal dinner I ordered a groom's cake with a special 3-D design. It ended up looking so great and my husband was surprised and loved it! They were able to replicate our dog in the bed of my husband's truck and it just looked fabulous!
At the last minute TIOTC was also able to rent us a gorgeous silver cake stand since it was something I had overlooked. They made the tasting process fun and even gave me samples at another time so my husband (who was overseas the first time) could try the cakes! All that coupled with their great prices I would highly recommend The Icing on the Cake to anyone in the Boston area!

when my husband and i went to our cake tasting, we were blown away! everything was SO yummy!!! i can't exactly say the same for our wedding cake on the day of our wedding. we had requested a marble cake and it was dry and tasted like they mixed lemon cake and choclolate cake, instead of chocolate and vanilla. the presentation on the cake was perfect!!!! i had created a kind of complicated cake and they nailed it!!!! overall, i really liked the cake, just kind of disappointed with the taste.

We met 1 other bakery and were supposed to meet another one after our meeting with The Icing On The Cake. We ended up cancelling that other meeting immediately after our meeting with The Icing On The Cake. I don't know what to say other than the cake looked great, tasted even better, and was priced well within our budget for the size cake that we wanted. Our meeting with them to do tastings and get a quote was a breeze. We were given plenty of choices for designs and flavors, and the baker was very patient with us as we were having trouble choosing from all the beautiful designs. We also had a custom cake topper that we purchased from a third party, as well as flower petals that the florist would use to decorate the cake and table and it all turned out perfectly. I highly recommend The Icing On The Cake.
