Once in a Blue Moon Bakery

We loved working with Once in a Blue Moon Bakery. Mollie and the rest of the staff were very helpful and quick to reply to our questions. Our cake looked PERFECT and all the guests commented how great it tasted. We would recommend this bakery to anyone looking for great tasting wedding cake and a reliable, professional team to work with! More...

I've always wanted a special cake for my sons birthday and came across this bakery with excellent reviews-they are all true! 5 stars for the convenience, price and taste! I did everything over email. I emailed a pic of exactly what I wanted and they delivered. 50% deposit and paid the rest when it was ready for pick up. Since it was for a two year old party I ordered just a plain cake but it tasted very good. Highly recommend. More...

Amazing cakes. Allergy best practices I can trust. White cake is spectacular. The cakes are beautiful for adults, but they sure decorated a darling captain marvel cake for my little girl. I've taken the kids in for cupcakes for years because of the true bakery style atmosphere and friendly service. There are lots of styles of bakeries and I enjoy others as well, but you simply can't beat this place if you're looking for a traditional quality bakery. More...

This place did an EXCEPTIONAL job on a cake for my wife!! I was looking for something a little different this year, and in working with their staff, we decided on a Louis Vuitton Purse Cake Design! ! Unreal. Needless to say, all our guests were blown away by how real it looked, and my wife had even thought I got her one for her birthday! Oh, and it was Gluten Free / Dairy Free to accommodate her allergies; it was DELICIOUS!I can't say enough about their service, quality, and assistance! More...

I NEVER write reviews, but I feel like I need to for this bakery. I hosted a baby shower yesterday. I ordered a vanilla cake with strawberry mouse and buttercream icing. It was simply decorated, just like I wanted, but more importantly, IT WAS DELICIOUS! The strawberry mouse made the cake. You could tell it was freshly made with real strawberries. Everyone at the shower kept raving about how good it tasted and wanted to know where it came from. I will be getting all of my specialty cakes from here from now on. More...

My husband and I we’re married in January of this past year, and starting our wedding planning process I didn’t put much value in our cake. UNTIL I went to Once In a Blue Moon. Our experience with Blue Moon was a GAME CHANGER! For starters, the owner was the one who led our cake tasting and facilitated our entire experience. The whole process felt so personal. Sometimes when you work with a smaller mom/pop shop you’ll a lack of professionalism or timeliness but great service but NOT here. The professionalism was second to none from all our vendors and their responsiveness was impressive.

This is all without mentioning the cake! How good the cake was is STILL the most talked about thing among my family and it’s been 6 months.

We also has unique gluten allergy needs that Blue Moon accommodated. If you are looking for a gluten free cake of any kind, this is your place! When my husband and I went cake tasting here, neither of us could tell the difference between a gluten and gluten free cake.

Pricing wise I would say is more than fair. When we met to design our wedding cake my dream cake was outside the budget that we had set. I was really bummed because I had a vision for a wedding cake and didn’t see how that vision could come true. Between the design team and I we decided to come in again and figure something out. To my great surprise, the owner/designer help me narrow down the crucial pieces that made my dream cake perfect. As I described to her my vision she threw out a cake that was within our budget with the room to add some fun detailing. I decided to trust that team and leave it to the experts. On our WEDDING DAY, our photographer had snuck into our venue before hand and snapped a picture of our wedding cake. The results...unbelievable. The cake that was delivered and created for our wedding day blew every childhood dream OUT OF THE WATER. I could NOT begin to think up a more PERFECT cake!!

Once in a Blue Moon Bakery was the SIMPLEST and most stress-FREE part of our ENTIRE wedding process! Thank you guys so much for making my husband and I feel like the most important and special people.

Side note: We ordered a 3 tier vanilla cake with white butter cream frosting. Each tier has had 3 fillings, homemade chocolate ganache, homemade raspberry ganache (With real raspberry’s), and finally homemade chocolate and raspberry ganache combined. We provided a gluten free option with the same flavors but used sheet cake. Our cake fed 135 people with the perfect amount left over.

Blue Moon, we will be using you for decades of anniversaries, and all our special birthdays! Thank you! More...

We got our wedding cake through Once In A Blue Moon Bakery & Cafe, and we have nothing but praise!

First, the cake was absolutely amazing. We had a yellow cake with raspberry mousse and cream cheese frosting. This was a phenomenal cake! It was hard to stop eating!

Second, they were super easy to work with. I have a few unusual allergies, and they were able to easily work around them. They were able to get us in for a tasting in relatively short time. They delivered to our venue with absolutely no issue.

Third, they worked around our needs. We had an idea for what we wanted our wedding cake to look and taste like. We kept encountering bakeries that either had minimums above our actual needs or they had their own ideas for what a wedding cake should be. Once In A Blue Moon Bakery & Cafe made us feel important, heard, and appreciated!

Fourth, they have a service where we can get a small version of our cake made for our one-year anniversary so we don’t have to freeze a slice of our cake. Instead, we get a fresh cake that we already know is amazing!

Although we don’t have another wedding to order a cake, we will definitely be visiting the bakery and cafe in the near future. :) More...

I cannot say enough about this bakery. This graduation cake was pure heaven!!  It was carrot cake and honestly, I've never been a fan but my goodness, this carrot cake was to die for.

I was craving something sweet after a delicious meal at Kababish, so stopped in here 30 minutes before closing.

The tasting was perfect for me and my husband to try all the flavors- and it was free. We ended up ordering it that same day during our first cake tasting. The cake is so good and they have so many different fillings and icings. Once we ordered and paid for it, we didn't have to worry about anything else. They delivered it on the wedding day and I didn't hear anything else from them. Which seriously took a load off my plate! Very nice people, delicious cake, beautiful and we can't wait for our one year to get a free anniversary cake! More...

Ordered a vegan chocolate birthday cake w/ vanilla icing from Once in a Blue Moon and it was absolutely delicious. Very well baked, tasty, great texture, professional touches in the decoration -- my expectations were exceeded! I'm so glad that there is a local bakery that offers vegan options and makes them just as special as their regular options. Maybe they'll even offer more vegan flavors soon :). Also, it was easy placing my order and picking it up. Highly recommend Once in a Blue Moon! More...

WOW! I had them make a custom cake for an American Horror Story themed birthday party and it was absolutely perfect!The party was for the third season AHS:Coven and I wanted to have a cake to that looked like the black and White House shown throughout the season. I absolutely do not like fondant and in my own personal experience-it had been difficult to find a bakery that would make a non-fondant cake. Side story: I actually contacted another bakery months before who flat out refused to not put fondant on my cake and convinced me to come try the marshmallow fondant that I told them I specifically I did not like. So I set out on a new search and ended up finding once in a blue moon. I contacted them by email and they responded promptly and gave me a quote and size information right away which was very appreciative. After going over the details, I ended up changing the design to a smaller cake from their suggestion and it ended up being the perfect size and very affordable price than my original design. I was appreciative they worked within my budget and still created a very beautiful and impressive cake. On the pick up day-They completely exceeded my expectations! Customer service was excellent, the shop was cute and they had several cakes, cupcakes, and breads to choose from inside. My cake was ready immediately and they showed me how it looked right there to make sure it was everything I wanted. The cake tasted even better. It was not overly sweet  and the cake was moist (I choose amaretto cake with vanilla buttercream filling and icing)This will definitely be my go to cake place from now on. I added a few pictures I took from the party below so you can see just how nice the cake looked! More...

I can't even begin to say how ecstatic I am about the piece of art the women at Once In A Blue Moon created.  I called on a Monday to have the cake ready for Saturday and they delivered above and beyond! !  I discussed what flavor and style of cake and asked for a Stranger Things cake that focused on Eleven as my daughter is turning 11. The staff was really excited for this project as they are all fans of the series.  I sent a couple of ideas over and let them have fun with it.  When I came to pick it up and saw the masterpiece, I was completely floored.   If you need a theme cake, go here. You'll never go wrong.  Have a look at the photos.  AMAZING!!!!!  Thank you SOOOO much ladies!!  My daughter is going to be so happy. More...

My husband couldn't come with me to our cake tasting, so he tasted it for the first time when I shoved it into his face at the reception. His response: "That is some damn good cake!" I had half a dozen guests come up to me and say that they don't like cake, but our wedding cake was delicious. Our cake was a yellow cake with mandarin orange mousse and vanilla buttercream frosting. It tasted great and looked just perfect. Highly recommend!
