Simma’s did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding cake! Our cake was not only stunning and exactly what we envisioned, but it was also incredibly delicious. By the end of the ...
night, every last piece was eaten, and our guests are still raving about how good it was!
We also had an additional cake, and we really appreciated that Simma’s was able to provide options for our guests with gluten-free and nut allergy needs. It meant a lot to us to be able to include everyone.
The cake decorator and entire staff were fantastic to work with throughout the process. They were helpful, professional, and made everything so easy for us. We couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out and would highly recommend Simma’s for any wedding or special event!
We went for our cake tasting for our small wedding. We wanted some leftover, so we ordered a small, 2-tier cake in the same type of cake (Genoise-yellow) with 2 different fillings ...
(raspberry mousse for the larger one and lemon mousse with raspberry preserve filling for the top tier). We were SHOCKED when we cut into our cake for both tiers and discovered that both were COMPLETELY WRONG! Both had something with strawberry filling. We sampled the strawberry one, but it wasn’t one that we wanted at all! We paid for the frosting to be decorated and for the tiers to be stacked. We paid the delivery fee. We paid to rent the plate our cake sat on and there was an additional $5 for a plastic plate to be in between the 2 layers. Thankfully no one suffered an allergic reaction to the strawberries. I called the bakery Monday morning to explained what had happened and our huge disappointment with everything. The owner got back to me late morning on Tuesday. She said it was simply a human error and that when the person who did our order entered it, she made the mistake. What is really frustrating is that we took the time to go IN PERSON to finalize our order so that there would be no mistakes! When I spoke with the owner to schedule our cake tasting, I told her I’ve been coming to Simma’s for YEARS & YEARS. They made my daughter’s first birthday cake. My daughter had Simma’s do her wedding cake. She said all she could do is apologize and offer us a refund for the cake itself (not including frosting, decorating, stacking, etc.). She also asked when we would return the plate we rented to have the cake on. When she asked about us returning the $5 plastic plate, I said that with all of the commotion with the cake, we forgot it at our venue. We were told the check would take 7-10 business days for us to receive it. We were married on the 6th of June. We went to return the plate on Wednesday, June 10. Had she called us earlier in the day or even on the day that I called, June 8, we could have returned it a day sooner. We were very disappointed that she didn’t return our call on Monday. What was really embarrassing to us was when some of our guests referred to the cake as “strawberry shortcake”.
Obviously, Simma’s did not fulfill their contract. Their bakery was one we never expected this from. How could they mess up both of the cakes (6” and 8”) with 2 different fillings????
The owner did let us pick out several treats. We put down a deposit at our cake tasting on April 14 and paid in full at our finalization of our order on May 15.
Be careful!!!
Simma's was super easy to work with. I called in my wedding cheesecake order, and they made it exactly how we wanted. My dad was able to pick the cake up on the day of the wedding,...
with no issue. The cake was just for me and my husband, so it was reasonably priced.
We were so happy to choose Simma’s for our wedding. The cake was incredibly delicious, and our guests absolutely loved it. The entire process was a breeze, from the initial consult...
ation/tasting to the big day. We chose a marble cake with vanilla mousse and fresh strawberries between the layers and covered in buttercream frosting. During the tasting, there were several example textures on display, so it was easy to pick the look that we wanted. Overall, Peggy and the team were great to work with, and the cake was delivered and set up exactly the way we wanted without any supervision from us the day of. We highly recommend choosing Simma’s!
The cake speaks for itself! We had so many compliments on both the classic cheesecakes and the grooms cake (buttercream and Genoa). The only reason for the less than perfect rating...
, was the script of “just married” that we requested on our cutting cake. Unfortunately it was missed. Other than that, our experience working with Amy and the team to design and order was great! I will always recommend the cheesecakes at Simmas!
Delicious cake. From the initial consultation and tasting to pick up everything was great.
Simma’s is well known for a reason. From the initial meeting in-person to talk through our vision for a wedding cake, to the actual sampling and going over options, Peggy and the S...
imma’s team made us feel like we were in good hands. We decided to go with a two-tier cheesecake with a chocolate base, raspberry filling, and chocolate ganache for our wedding cake and it was probably the best cheesecake we have ever had. The cake was perfectly light and the right level of sweetness. The whole process of ordering the cake and standing to scheduling a pick-up/drop-off time and instructions for cutting was so simple, it allowed us to go into our day so confident that everything had been taken care of. Simma’s delicious cakes and quality service make this bakery essential for your next event or wedding.
Literally the best cake I've ever had. Peggy is awesome!
Simma’s made our wedding cake, and it was absolutely delicious! Every guest loved it, and we’ve been getting so many compliments about how amazing it was. We can’t wait to cut into...

Everyone who recommended Simma’s to us was 100% right, they are truly the best! We’re so happy we chose them for our special day.
Simma's makes our favorite cakes in Milwaukee! We did a cake tasting with them and were wowed by all the delicious options! We tried 4 cake flavors and we had plenty of samples lef...
tover that they boxed them up for us to take home. Our cake was beautiful and exactly what we hoped for. Each year we'll be going back to get a lemon mousse for our wedding anniversaries.
Simma's was really great about communicating. We were super impressed at our tasting and chose them right away for our cake! They helped talk us through our options and what would ...
work best for our cake type and guest count. Being able to finalize details just two-three weeks ahead of time also put my mind at ease as it gave me a little more time to organize my final numbers. My husband and I loved the cake and a number of our guests commented on it as well. Couldn't be happier with our choice in bakery!
Peggy also gave me some great advice regarding the cake topper and putting flowers on our cake!
Peggy was also able to refer us to another bakery that had gluten and dairy free options for our guests!
Simma's created our dream 5-tier wedding cake! We had a wonderful time doing the tasting with Peggy and picked the genoise cake with fresh strawberries and white chocolate ganache....
One of our guests who is with the Food Network commented specifically on how amazing our cake was. On top of the taste, it was BEAUTIFUL! We had alternating gold foil and white swiss dot tiers, and our florist was able to add fresh flowers to the top and bottom. We'll add a photo to this review when we have our professional photos back. The love that Peggy has for her cakes and her wedding couples is unmatched. Thank you Peggy and Simma's!
We were SO happy with our cake from Simma's for our wedding. We did lemon mouse and poppyseed as well as strawberry mouse cakes and all our guests raved about them both. Our weddi...

on to life. From the cake tasting (which was such a fun and delicious experience!) to the big day itself, everything was seamless. The cake looked beautiful and tasted even better. Our guests are still talking about how much they loved it — truly one of the highlights of the reception. We’re so grateful to Peggy and the entire Simma’s team for making such a special part of our day perfect. Highly, highly recommend!

rd cake. We went with a 3-tiered white traditional presentation cake along with two 1/2 sheet cakes. Simma's offers a lot of cake flavors, fillings and frostings, so they are great for customization. I'm rating them a 4/5 because we weren't able to represent our dog figurine in the cake the way that we wanted to - they would not place a dog figurine purchased off of Etsy in the cake, but would make one out of fondant themselves and place it, which was ultimately not the look we were going for. But overall, for the great taste and look of the cake, I would choose Simma's again!
Delicious, elegant, beautiful! We loved our cake and cupcakes and so did all of our guests!!
Simma’s did an outstanding job with our wedding cake!
We felt so lucky to be able to book Simma's bakery for our wedding cake. They put together a wonderful tasting experience that was one of the highlights of the wedding planning pro...
cess for me. Trinity took very detailed notes. We picked the marble cake with European vanilla buttercream frosting with raspberry and chocolate mousse. The cake itself looked beautiful and was delicious. So many guests commented on how great the cake was and hardly any was left by the end of the evening. Thank you again for helping make our day so sweet.

CUSTOM CAKE FOR MY DAUGHTERS 15TH BIRTHDAY IT WAS A SMASH! EVERYONE KEPT COMPLEMENTING IT AND ASKING WHERE WE GOT IT FROM I HIGHLY RECOMEND
We booked Simma's for our wedding cake and absolutely loved the decorations and flavors that we ended up choosing. Everyone raved about how good the cake was! Only thing is that co...
mmunication is lacking a bit. I had to email and call multiple times over the course of a few weeks until I finally got in contact with someone. I understand that they're incredibly busy, but I would have appreciated at least a simple response of "we got your message, we'll reach out as soon as we can" instead of getting 3 weeks of silence.
we went a little crazy and had different flavors and fillings for different layers of the cake, they did amazing decorative work and the cake was delicious!!
Simma’s Bakery does not disappoint! The cake, cheesecake, cupcakes, and cookies were delicious! We had more than enough desserts for the number of guests we had, yet the dessert ta...
ble was cleaned off quickly!
Simma’s bakery provided two delicious cakes for our wedding this past August. Their expertise showed when they had all the details ready for us at our tasting, and we fell in love ...
with their flavors as well. So many of our guests commented on how excited they were to have a chocolate espresso wedding cake. We asked for a simple frosted cake decorated with fresh flowers, and Simma’s was happy to coordinate with our florist on the decorations. Overall, our cakes were executed wonderfully, and we cannot wait to pull our final slices out for our anniversary next August. We would definitely recommend working with Simma’s for anyone’s upcoming weddings.
They were so nice and helpful until there was an issue with my cake Wedding was 09/03/2022 I contacted them on their next business day. I advised Meredith that the cake did NOT ta...
ste as it did at the tasting she said she would call me back..2 day went by without a call. I called them back, they wanted a sample of the cake I brought them 1 1/2 of the cake they said they would get with their team and call back, that didn't happen, 24 hours later I call them back and spoke with Peggy an was told they tasted a cake that was 6 days old and nothing was wrong with the cake and sometimes people try returning the cake after the couples do not eat it all at the wedding. For the record I love love love cakes cupcakes, little Debbie cakes you name it an would/could eat most of the cake alone l also have 7 year old twins that loves cake an they would probably eat the rest lol but they also didn't like it.. My twins came with me to return the cake and she screams out " that cake was nasty"
After speaking with Peggy, I felt like they didn't believe me an calling me a liar. I'm a christians women that believes in GOD and my spirit does not operate that way..They kept the cake and told me they could give me a 8"cake. NO! I will NEVER patronize your bakery again! Please be careful of the fake smiles and lovely attitudes! (I really thought they cared about making this cake an me having the best experience ever. Boy, was I wrong!
The dog ate the wedding cake!!!
This past weekend was my brother-in-law’s wedding. For some reason, we had the cake that my wife’s aunt made at our house the night before the wedd...
ing and were responsible for its care and transport to the reception venue (why…?). The night of the rehearsal, I had decided to bite the bullet and take my 1-year old daughter home so my wife could enjoy the rehearsal dinner without worrying about her. When I got home, I let the dog out of her cage and walked upstairs for bedtime stories. Finally getting my daughter to sleep, I went down to make dinner, watch some tv, etc… After about 30 minutes, I noticed my dog was acting a little guilty about something. I thought maybe she had an accident or something so I did a quick spin around and didn’t notice anything. Then I looked at the table… Where there was a ravaged wedding cake top and cake crumbles everywhere. I felt like the camera of life zoomed in on my realization of what happened… Terrified and furious, I put/threw my dog into her cage, and did what any 35 year-old American male would do, alone, in a cake related emergency… “Call Mom!”…
It took a few minutes to get my mother to stop laughing at my cliché wedding-movie problem… Wiping the tears from her eyes she told me she would call back in a few minutes. Within 15 minutes, I was texting the on-call Simmas bakery owner who was available using the “Wedding Cake Emergency Hotline” (yeah… I didn’t know that was a thing either). I gave him the specs of the cake-top using my tape measure and some pictures and he said they will get on it in the morning.
First thing the next day, the baker let me know the cake was ready. It was perfect. Texture, buttercream frosting, size, everything. As a note, Simmas did not make the original cake, their team is just extremely talented and worked ridiculously fast for some random guy whose 40-pound golden doodle got courageous. When I asked how much it was… The owner WAIVED THE FEE ENTIRELY!!! And said, just take a picture of the reaction (which I wasn’t present for sadly).
Just to clarify, my family has been going to Simmas for years because their cakes are amazing. The owner didn’t know who I was, but still saved a crucial part of a wedding. I always knew this bakery made amazing pastries and cakes, but now I know it’s run by a generous and wonderful team. I come from a very big family, and Simmas will be my, and more importantly my mom’s, grandma to 19 hungry children, go to bakery whenever the occasion calls. Thank you, Mark, Meredith, and the entire Simmas Family for saving the day!!!
PS: the dog is fine, and my wife’s aunt laughed about it (on the outside), so I think I’m in the clear… for now

Simma's is my favorite bakery in the Milwaukee area so it was an easy decision to use them for our wedding cake. The tasting was impressive, we got huge pieces of cake to try (and ...
take home). They have so many flavors/combinations. We ended up going with a marble cake with chocolate mousse filling and it was absolutely delicious. We had multiple people telling us it was the best wedding cake they've ever had. The design of the cake was spot on an gorgeous, I was obsessed with how it looked and tasted!
We got married at The Ivy House on April 16, 2022. We did popsicles as a dessert for our guests, but we still wanted a traditional cake for ourselves and our wedding party. Simma’s...
is our favorite bakery in the area, so this was a no-brainer when we decided on having a cake. We went in for a tasting which answered all of our questions and was extremely helpful to the process. It was pretty hard to narrow it down to one flavor, but we eventually agreed on a delicious combination!
We did a two-tier cake with fresh strawberries inside and blue painted decor to match our wedding colors. The cake arrived on time and in perfect condition. Everyone said it was delicious! We decided to save the top part and freeze it so we can enjoy it on our year anniversary. I can’t wait to eat more of it! Simma’s has a huge variety of flavors and options. You will not be disappointed in whatever you order from them! Best desserts around!
We got a small cutting cake from Simma's and were so impressed with the design! I shared 1 inspiration picture and they helped with suggestions based on what would work best while ...

Always delicious, amazing cheesecakes. We didn’t have any cake left over at the end of the night, and were told later that guests had gone up for seconds and thirds to try all the ...

My daughter lives in Chicago and was planning a wedding in Milwaukee. Needless to say, it's hard to choose a bakery when you know nothing about it. Simma's Bakery was so easy to ...
work with. They worked with the florist to produce a cake with some of the wedding flowers. The cake was simple, but elegant. I am not a fan of sweets, but that cake was the best I have ever tasted! It was moist with layers of amazing filling. I don't often find wedding cakes to be very tasty and often it is an afterthought. This cake was the main event!!! Thank you, Simma's, for helping make the wedding a huge success!
Everyone at our wedding loved our cake and couldn't stop asking me where we got it! Simma's is the best choice for any wedding cake needs you have!

have a traditional tiered wedding cake. It was the best wedding planning decision we made. Our cake from Simma's (chocolate with raspberry Chambord mousse and fresh raspberries, simple white buttercream frosting) was hands down the best wedding cake I've ever tasted. Unbelievably delicious. I don't know how I'm going to wait a whole year to have our anniversary cake! On top of that, everyone there was very friendly and helpful, including when we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID. I also found their prices to be very reasonable (though of course wedding cakes don't come cheap), particularly compared to other highly rated cake bakers in the area. 100% recommend.
