Northern Wings Cafe has been wonderful to work with! The owner may seem quiet, but she is genuinely kind and accommodating. She customized my first cake to meet allergy needs, which turned out absolutely delicious and stunning to look at. The second cake was made for me on very short notice—within just two days of ordering—and I can’t express how much I appreciated that. Both cakes, as well as a set of cupcakes, were not only beautiful but also incredibly tasty. I’m so grateful for her work and will continue to order from Northern Wings Cafe in the future!
I placed an order with Northern Wings bakery November 20th for a pick up for December 31st. I sent a specific design I wanted and baker agreed to be able to do it. Upon arrival to pick up my cake, I was told that the “picture” that was supposed to be edible was all just paper and that it must be removed since it’s not for consumption. There was no mention of the edible ink printer not working prior and I find that to be pretty unprofessional giving I spent $80 for a cake. With this being said, the picture vaguely matched what I requested and the word “ matrix “ was not on the cake. I will be attaching what I wanted vs what I got as well. When taking the cake paper off, all of the frosting even the green border came off. I specifically wanted black frosting and got green. There were no numbers at all. I specifically do not like fondant and there was a thick layer over the cake which unfortunately did not make it enjoyable. I requested a refund in which I received $20 but I fully think it should’ve been at least 1/2 of what I paid because I didn’t get what I paid for. On a positive note, I appreciate the atmosphere of the bakery and the kindness as well but do not appreciate not being notified of the malfunction of the printer and would have liked to have received more of the refund for the cake.
April is the real deal!! She’s sweet, understanding, professional, and creative! She crafted my birthday cake perfectly from the inspo pics I sent her and helped make this birthday the best one Ive had in awhile. She even gave me four cupcakes on top of my cake to make up for an invoice issue (I had already eaten 2 before the picture). For custom orders, come to Northern Wings Cafe! Cute place and stellar baker. Thanks April
I gave her two stars because the Barbie cake was cute, but the animal cupcakes were hideous. I ordered frosting animals with a bit of fondant on them for noses, etc. she made me cupcakes with edible paper cut outs on them absolutely hideous. They’re an embarrassment to even put on the table. if she couldn’t do them I would’ve preferred she just told me that and I would have got cupcakes elsewhere. I guess I’m looking for another bakery. I will never go back again.
Excellent bakery. I ordered a custom cake, white layer, chocolate layer, raspberry filling, with a thinner butter icing - perfection! The balance of cake to icing, with the raspberry filling provided enough sweetness to satisfy a sweet tooth, yet not so much that the butter cream overwhelmed the other flavors. Sugar cookies - just like homemade :) Also, friendly and helpful service.
