Four Oaks Bakery

arge cake for 100+ people, and then Covid happened and we ended up postponing, and eventually downsizing and moving the date up again! Through all of the changes Emily was sympathetic, responsive, and very kind. She even made us a beautiful little cake on our original wedding date! By the time our downsized wedding happened, I was suffering from planning fatigue but knew the original design we came up with wasn’t going to work for our new situation. I literally sent Emily a picture of my now-husband’s tie and asked if she could make something to go with it. I was so happy I let her semi-surprise me with the design on the day because it gave me something fun and low-stress to look forward to, and I knew I could trust her taste completely! The cake was gorgeous and so unique and special. It matched the pattern on the tie, but also tied in our florals and cake topper in a beautiful way. I feel so happy when I look at the pictures of our cake! We chose the Lemon Berry flavor and everyone kept telling us how good it was and asking who made it. I would not hesitate to recommend Four Oaks to anyone looking for a delicious and beautiful cake for their wedding day!

was looking for (I am from Brazil and the wedding culture there is different from the US). When I saw Emily's work on Instagram pictures, I was impressed. She seemed creative, authentic, delicate and a perfectionist, all qualities I was looking for in a wedding cake artist. It was easy to get in contact with her and to schedule the tasting. My husband and I had a blast at our first meeting with Emily. She was interested in us, in our story, and she was very attentive to every word I was saying regarding my vision of the wedding. She is so easy to talk to, always smiley and kind. And oh my the cake was delicious! Seriously the best cake I had in Pittsburgh (I'm picky with cake because we make it differently in Brazil and usually I find the ones in the US too sweet). A couple days later, Emily sent me two sketches of the cake art. Now comes the hard part: how to choose between two beautiful cakes that were even better than I could have imagined? She nailed it twice! Finally, I chose one (hoping to order the other at some point in my life) and let Emily do her job. I think it's important to give freedom for artists to create the best version of their work, and at this point, I trusted her entirely. She could do anything she wanted and I knew I could relax and that I would have a great surprise on the wedding day. That's exactly what happened. I was so excited to see the cake table that I actually went to the cake room (in my wedding dress) for a sneak peak before walking to down the aisle. When I saw the cake and the cupcakes I was amazed. They were so perfect, so delicate. The colors, the look, the taste, everything was impeccable. As I already expected, the guests loved it and commented how great the cake/cupcakes were. I surely recommend Emily's work and I guarantee you will have a great experience with her as well.

was attentive and took every consideration into mind when designing my cake. I was blown away when I walked into my reception and saw the cake I had envisioned amplified by Emily's creativity. She is meticulous and ensures that every detail from your server to your topper is picture worthy. Not only are her cakes visually appealing, they taste amazing too! She has numerous flavor combinations from her cakes to her out of this world buttercream that will please any palate. I can't say enough good things about her and her bakery! Check out her Instagram and blog to see her beautiful work and get to know her better!

dest expectation. I am so glad we found her and had her as part of our special day! Paul and Natalie Chonko

took our wedding cake vision and went above and beyond our greatest expectations for it. Not only was it absolutely beautiful, it was absolutely delicious! From the get-go, Emily made the whole cake selection process easy, her prices were very reasonable, and her end product was to die for. Highly recommended!!

weddings I've been to, ours was the nicest I've ever seen. We received so many compliments! Not only are her cakes & baked goods gorgeous, they taste amazing as well! Emily is wonderful to work with & her prices are so reasonable. I recommend her to everyone!
