A Cake Odyssey

tle nervous being out of town, but don’t be worried because they know what they’re doing. Very professional and delicious - thank you! Highly recommend.

taste! Do not hesitate in hiring this gem to create and deliver your vision!

design or taste of their cakes! They are the best in the business!

RFECT. We received so many compliments from all our guests as well.

ns. Jim was very easy to communicate with and plan with. One downfall is they close Sunday-Tuesday. But Jim returns calls quick if they are in the shop. We also used their cake stand that we rented from them and it looked absolutely beautiful. They delivered the cake to our venue and it was so easy to work with them. I didn’t have to worry about anything at all once everything was planned.

livered on our wedding day bore no resemblance to what we ordered, and what was delivered was visibly not well done. Our planner was so freaked out by it that she took off without a word to a florist to buy flowers to try and make it look presentable as a wedding cake-- we obviously had to roll with it at that point. I had been so jazzed about the cake I ordered and had been talking it up to my fiancé for weeks! So it was upsetting. I called the bakery and left a message, even questioning whether this was supposed to be our cake--that's how "off" it was. I requested a call back the next morning. None came. Our planner was able to reach Jim, who confirmed he received my message and would call me. He never did. A week later our planner called again, and again was told someone would call me. No call. I sent an email to Jim expressing frustration and disappointment and requesting a refund. No call, no reply email, no refund. Basically--they messed up our cake and simply didn't care. After I posted a comment about what happened online weeks and weeks later, Jim finally reached out to me but they didn't take responsibility for messing up our cake and wasn't empathetic at all--it was a half-hearted attempt at best. We're shocked by all of this but there it is. Maybe because it was a very small order (we eloped), we simply don't matter--that, I don't know. What I do know is that we can never get that moment back--ever. :(

and Karyn have been making cakes in Santa Fe for a very long time. They know all of the other vendors and venues so planning with them is super easy. Jim made the tasting a lot of fun and all of Karyn's cakes were moist and delicious. They delivered the cake to the venue and worked with my florist to add fresh flowers. The cake was absolutely stunning. When it comes to your wedding, you need a bakery you can trust to follow through with a great product and Cake Odyssey did this expertly. As a local in Santa Fe, they are now my "go to" local bakery spot.

eddings featuring wedding cakes I could have made from a box, I knew I really wanted a great cake for our wedding. We actually had our original baker cancel a month before our wedding day and we were in a last minute scramble. Cake Odyssey saved us. They were extremely helpful in helping us make our decision and we went with something really unique. We had tons of compliments from our guests. Sadly, the cake was maybe too good because, while saying good bye to my guests, I saw two and three pieces of cake go with them. We could not be happier with our cake and Cake Odyssey’s service. We highly recommend them.

hops which I then froze, flew across the country to my fiance, refroze them and then after thawing we tried each vender one by one. As a cake Odyssey cupcakes looked the messiest, from travel and plenty of icing, we had those last. I'll skip the suspense and say it was a no brainer, except for the flavor. Our tasting with Jim was fantastic and beautifully prepared. It was a time we truly felt special. We even snuck cake and cupcakes before our reception. I can't thank you two enough. We look forward to coming back every week for cupcakes. We now give them out in gifts and as favors to people. It's not much of a choice if you want better flavors and the wildflowers they put on the cupcakes looked so real. Thank you thank you thank you

requested! We had a very unique theme, and our cakes fit in perfectly! Highly recommended!!!

hey were amazing. On our wedding day, the cake was beautiful and tasted wonderfully. I would recommend to any bride!!

ere pushy and abrupt when trying to schedule tastings etc. We ended up going to a local baker for a beautiful, and delicious, wedding cake that ended up being a star at our reception. This is probably a good baker for you if you like fondant cakes and brand names, as they will tell you multiple times that they have been featured on TV.

commodating for us. We went to their place and had a wonderful cake tasting session, so professional and so delicious. We ended up with 3 cakes! A brides cake, grooms cake and a gluten free cake, which all were delicious! I took photos in for what I wanted the brides and grooms cake to look like and they came through. Super accommodating and nice people! I will go to them for any of my bakery needs from here on out!

e ordered a cake from this vendor and they never disappoint.

hmallow Fondant) and paid in full that day. Four days before the wedding, we get a call from the salesman advising he made a mistake and that we owe him an additional $200 as he charged us for butter cream and not rolled fondant despite being clearly marked on the original receipt. We gained agreement that we would not be paying the additional $200 and we would have rolled fondant on our wedding cake. When we arrived to our reception, the cake that was delivered was not what we ordered but a buttercream substitute. When this was called out to the owner, his response was "that we were being petty" and "the cake was beautiful". Well I agree the cake was beautiful and it was delicious, it was not what we paid for or ordered. It is a shame that their customer service is so poor and does not match the deliciousness of their product.

appointment with Cake Odyssey and were instantly in love. The cake samples were all moist and the flavors were SO good. As an out of town bride, that was the only time I was able to go in person to see the bakers and everything still went incredibly smoothly. I also ordered a groom's cake from them, and it was delicious, the detail was incredible, and it was a lot less than I was expecting to pay for such an awesome cake. Our guests couldn't stop raving about our cakes, we loved the flavor and all the cake was SO moist.

use the man who helps you isn't super personable...but if you can get past that, it'll be a delicious cake!

Exactly what we hoped for and at a good price, also.

utiful and delicious! We are sad that we will have to wait a year to eat the top tier!

nted to book them when I'd told them repeatedly I'd gone with another cake vendor.

hey treat you like kings and everything is brought out on beautiful serving trays. One small factor was that they do four layers of cake so its cake-filling-cake-filling-cake-filling-cake this was a big deal to me because most places only do cake-filling-cake which means you dont get the true flavor in every bite because you are over loaded with cake. I was also afraid that cake places served you the best slice on tasting day but then wedding day not so much this was NOT the case with Odyssey! My uncle and I used Odyssey for our weddings and the wedding day cake knocked both our shoes off!!! I would highly highly recomend them to friends

I had been to multiple weddings, and always found the cake to be dry and not all that interesting. Boy am I glad that my husband won that one! The deliciousness that Jim and his team from A Cake Odyssey served up at my wedding is enough to make anybody want to crash weddings, birthday parties, and other celebrations where their baked goods are featured! The cake was so moist, and the filling so creamy! Even the velvety frosting was smooth and melted in your mouth. The presentation was just as we had described to Jim during our tasting. My only complaint - however small - is that we felt more like a number than a customer whose business Jim cared about snagging. He was always professional, but we didn't get the sense that he was interested in spending much time with us to win our business. I suppose that with a product as good as his, there really isn't a need to woo their customers as we found other vendors did in this process. That being said, I would absolutely use this bakery's services again. I am already looking forward to eating that slice of cake that we froze for our 1st wedding anniversary!

the wedding perfectly and the cupcakes were amazing. Most importantly everything tasted great!

t take away all their stars because it was delicious and they refunded me some money but all things considered I won't be recommending them or going back.

their products delicious but they are also beautiful. From our tasting to deciding exactly what we wanted to delivery, the process was fun and easy and had excellent results.

nds. It was moist and flavorful. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

ork with and very reliable. Highly recommended!

a beautiful cake that not only looked good but that tasted delish and that was one of my main concerns.my event was Also 2 hours away from their shop but my cake was still fresh. My cake is and always will be something great to talk about.

use on the cake (coral, sage, ivory, brown) and requested that fondant be used because I like the look of it. I also ordered 60 cupcakes in 4 flavors each that would have one of each of the colors from the swatch to color the tops of the cupcakes. The day of my wedding, I saw the cake and cupcakes and could not believe how everything came out- the cake was black and it and the cupcakes did not have any of the colors from my swatch, not ONE! The black icing on the cake made everyone's teeth greenish-blue, including mine. I made the best of it at the time but I am still very disappointed that my order wasn't at all what I wanted or paid for, despite how descriptive I was in the ordering process.

ssey is fantastic. I was so pleased with how delicious our cake was. Everything was handmade, they designed the cake to the drawing I gave them, and delivered it on time. All my guests commented on how delicious it was. I wanted to have a great tasting cake if we were going to spend this much money and I'm glad I paid a little more to get great flavors. They rank about in the middle for wedding cake prices. You can visit their shop and buy cupcakes with the flavors they offer for the cakes, so I'm happy I can get more of their Italian Cream flavor anytime I want. Karen was fantastic. She did a great job! We knew from our cake tasting that this would be the company we would go with. This is by far the best cake company!

tion for him at the reception! the lemon cake at a cake odyssey is to die for!

rs however.

or the first time. It was PERFECT! I just gave them a picture and they knocked it out of the park! Not only was it gorgeous, it was delicious- some of the best cake I have ever had! Karyn and her staff are obviously very talented, but they truly impressed me!

It was still not correct. If you want a particular design, be sure to be specific and send LOTS of pictures.

oking cake that is full of flavor. We had people wanting 2 - 3 pieces of it.

ey was a pleasure. They were sensitive to our budget and gave us the most cake for what we paid for. Our only disappointment was a little smudging on the decoration when the cake was delivered to the venue, but Karen worked with me personally after the event to correct the problem.
