The entire process of designing/picking a wedding cake was very smooth with Linda. She had plenty of samples to taste and lots of pictures. The cake itself was moist and delicious. The final product was excellent and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking in the Hershey area.

We had an amazing time working with Linda for our wedding and grooms cakes. She did everything that we asked of her and went above and beyond to make our crazy ideas work. We've gotten nothing but compliments about the look and taste of our cakes. They were fantastic! And she even drove through a snow storm to make sure they got to us!

We contacted Linda's Cakery to see if she could make a gluten free cake for us because the bride has a gluten allergy (a long with a few other guests attending our wedding celebration.)
Linda was so responsive and reassuring that she had made numerous allergy free wedding cakes and was perfect for the job. She put us at ease with her professionalism and assurance that there would not be any cross contamination in the Cakery.
She made a DELICIOUS gluten free carrot cake for our wedding - we wanted a simple two tier cake with casual icing. It was a true refelection of us as a couple. The cake was amazing and so many of our guests said they couldn't get over the quality of it!
We are so grateful to Linda and loved the cake. The value, professionalism, and quality was a 5 out of 5. We would HIGHLY recommend Linda's Cakery!

Linda worked with us on a dessert table for our wedding. We did not want a traditional wedding cake and instead had a variety of pies, cupcakes, fruit tarts, cakes and cookies. She had a nice variety of flavors to choose from and all our guests said everything was very good.
We left some decorations and flowers on the table and the day of the wedding Linda dropped off all the desserts and arranged everything herself using our decorations. The table was very beautiful and helped contribute to the overall look and feel of our wedding day.

Linda made cheesecake cupcakes for our wedding that tasted like heaven! While other bakeries declined to even try making cheesecake cupcakes, Linda didn't even bat an eye. She had samples ready for us to try at our first meeting and was very accommodating in making what we wanted through the whole process. We even met with her a few days before the wedding to see what the final product would look like. She delivered the cupcakes and the taste, presentation, and overall satisfaction of her services was sky high. Thank you Linda!

Linda made a beautiful wedding cake for my daughter and son-in-law. Hershey kisses have special meaning to them, and Linda incorporated kisses into the cake in a unique way. We received many compliments on the details and the beautiful calla lilly flowers she made to compliment the bouquets. Most of all, the cake was delicious! We had three different flavors, and many of the guests said they had to have a piece of each, and could not decide which was their favorite! We highly recommend Linda to anyone who needs a cake for any occasion, but particularly for the most important day of their lives. Thank you Linda!

Linda was great to work with! I asked for a tree stump as my wedding cake and she did a wonderful job. All of my guests were raving how unique my wedding cake was. Though it was more money than I wanted to spend it was worth every penny. I went to Linda's cakery first for my tastings and everywhere else I tasted just couldn't compete with her cake! She makes it all from scratch. Her fondant creations are beautiful! I will be getting my anniversary cake from her next October!

Linda made a gorgeous cake for our wedding! Not only did she do exactly what we wanted; it tasted fantastic! She was so very easy to work with especially since we were about an hour away from her! She made the process seem so easy! Believe me you can find any style,colors, or flavors you want and she will make it happen! She even went out of her way to contact our florist to get real flowers to put on our cake! i will defiantly use her in the future and recommend her to anyone I can!

Linda was absolutely fabulous throughout the entire process. Although I spent more on our wedding cake than I wanted to, it was worth every penny!!! Not only are her cakes delicious, but she does everything by hand. My cake was decorated with over 60 hand made (and completely edible,) flowers. She is beyond talented in every aspect of her job! I would reccomend Linda's Cakery to anyone who is looking for a delicious and beautiful cake!!!

We have always gotten our cakes from Linda, so I knew right away that I wanted her to make my wedding cake. Needless to say, Linda did not disappoint. From beginning to end, everything was a hassle free experience. We initially had a guest list of 220 people for our wedding, and this is what our initial quote was for. ~3 weeks before the wedding, we received our final count for our guest, which was down to 175. Knowing how much wedding cake is always left over at weddings; I called Linda and asked her if we could readjust our numbers. Without hesitation, she gave me a new quote within the day and had no problem redesigning our cake (she had to actually remove an entire tier due to the drop in people.) I recommend Linda to everyone, whether you are looking for a cake for your wedding, birthday, or any other occasion.

Linda was the first place I went to sample cake flavors for mine and my husbands 25th wedding anniversary and I never went any place else because her cake sample were so delicious I decided right then and there that Linda was the one to make the cake for this very special occasion! We had a three tier white cake with strawberry filling and she made all the beautiful decorations on the cake and it was absolutely beautiful! All of our guests made comments on how delicious the cake was and where did it come from! The next time I need a cake, no matter what the occasion I will be calling Linda!

Linda was an absolute pleasure to work with and design our wedding cake. She listened carefully to our thoughts and ideas, then incorporated her own design skill to create a perfect cake! She also worked well with our flortist on the decor. such an artist! Everyone was remarking how beautiful it was and also -most importantly- how delicious. I had several guests comment that it was so much better than the standard wedding cake. We had the red velvet with chocolate ganache and the spice carrot cake with pumpkin mousse filling YUM!! Perfect for our fall wedding. Plus the icing was not sickening sweet like so many other bakers. Not to mention it was priced right. Overall, it was truly a pleasure to work with Linda and we will keep Linda's Cakery top of mind for recommendations and our future events.

The Cakery was the first place we went to for a tasting for our wedding cake. I had researched the area on prices and it seemed that I would get the most bang for my buck with Linda. As it turned out, we didn't go anywhere else. Her tasting was that amazing! The different flavors and very moist cake just hooked us. Then we saw her pictures of other cakes and some that were there. Our wedding cake turned out beautiful! Simple with some pumpkins and leaves that our guests didn't know were edible and didn't believe when we said they were. We had the marble with chocolate ganache in the middle for our 3 tier cake and a sheet cake of french vanilla with strawberry filling in the middle. Both were the buttercream icing which was very light and fluffy!
A week before the wedding we found out we didn't need a full sheet cake due to less guests. I emailed Linda and she said that was no problem and cut it down to a half a sheet cake.
We received comments from our guests that it was the best cake they ever had! We believe it and think it was very beautiful!
Thank you so much Linda for helping us with our perfect day!

Linda is delightful and makes picking out your wedding cake fun and stressless. She was responsive to my needs and desires - she worked with us to find just the right combination of flavors in the right type of icing to create the look we wanted. We chose the Italian Wedding Cake with cream cheese filling and white chocolate frosting - delicious. Many at the wedding said it was the best cake they'd ever had. There was none left!

My husband is currently serving in Iraq. He came home for 2 weeks in August '09 when we got married. With Mark (my husband) only being home for 2 weeks, and being pressed for time, it was nice that I didn't have worries about the cake! Linda did a wonderful job with the military cake theme! She added the new digital army camo (like the army uniforms) and helped me to find the perfect cake topper!

I absolutely LOVED my wedding cake that Linda made! It was delicious and so beautiful. It turned out to be exactly what my vision was. (It is featured on her home page if you would like to take a look!) She helped me from the beginning and welcomed any pictures or other design ideas I had. Her consultation and tasting is free and she gives a good sized portion. You get more than just a little bite of cake, you get enough so you actually know what you are tasting. I wanted fresh flowers on my cake and she allowed that, unlike other places I had looked. She worked closely with my florist to coordinate the cake and flower decoration. She also recommended that I do a practice cake because I wanted to tint the icing to be a pinkish color and also wasn't sure how the whipped icing would hold up. This was a great idea because I could see if it was exactly what I wanted before the big day. I got the french vanilla cake with strawberry whip filling and whipped icing, and also an extra sheet cake that was moist chocolate cake with chocolate fudge filling and buttercream icing. They were both delicious, and I typically don't like cake, so it is REALLY good stuff!! I would highly recommend Linda's Cakery for your wedding cake!

We had an absolutely beautiful & delicious wedding cake! Linda was super flexible, professional, & has great pricing on her cakes! When we first met with her in her shop, we thought that we just wanted to go with a plain design & put fresh flowers on the cake on the day of the wedding. However, we were having a Japanese - cherry blossom theme to our reception, and when we walked into her business, she had a display cake with an interesting Asian/blossom design. We told her that we were interested in something like that cake, but maybe a little more dainty looking, different coloring, etc. She allowed me to hop on her computer & we looked at some cake photos online together until we found one that we all loved. She said that she could do it, no problem.
It was very reasonably priced. We had originally thought about wanting a 'plain' looking cake to be dressed up with fresh flowers due to wanting to keep the cost of the cake down, but the design & addition of baker's flowers to the cake really did not substantially increase the cost of the cake. Our guests loved the beautiful design, so it was definitely worth change in cake plans. Our guests also loved the taste of the cakes (as did we!)...we had chocolate with raspberry cream and white cake with raspberry filling (more like a jam). They were both wonderful.
Our wedding was outside on a fairly hot evening. Linda decided to deliver the cake herself and to bring it as close to the start of our reception as possible so that it would not 'melt' in the heat. She was very professional & flexible in her service. Working with Linda was a great experience & I would highly suggest using her for your wedding cake needs!

OUR WEDDING WAS ON MAY 9TH '09. AND I HAVE TO SAY THE CAKE CAME OUT WONDERFUL. IT WAS THE 4 TIER WITH THE CHOCOLATE GANACHE COMING DOWN THE SIDES AND THE FLOWERS STARTED AT THE TOP DOWN TO THE TABLE. EVERYBODY WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT IT FOR WEEKS. LINDA WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND VERY PATIENT WITH US. SHE DID MY SISTER'S CAKE AND I DEFINITELY HAD TO GO WITH HER FOR MINE. RECOMMEND HER TO ANYONE FOR ANY OCCASION.
