Nancy Best Cakes

Our wedding went prefect and all our guest’s loved the cake. It was so pretty but even more delicious! People wanted more and more! I wish I had some right now.

I have attended a wedding and a bridal shower with her cakes, and literally are still the best slices of cake I have ever had. The marble is my favorite. But each bite is so moist and the cake looks fabulous. I haven’t even met Nancy, but every person that needs a cake I tell them about her. Truly one of a kind and exceptional doesn’t even cover it!

this is a long overdue review, but here’s to my 300^th! i hope that speaks to how highly i think of this local business!
whenever any of my friends in colorado get engaged and start wedding planning, i immediately recommend nancy best cakes to them! wedding planning can be so stressful and just crazy but nancy goes out of her way to make life easier for you and to cater to your preferences, down to every last detail. her cakes are the ultimate winning combination of delicious, gorgeous, and very fairly priced. for $ 400 (through an all-​inclusive package at my wedding venue), i was able to customize my cake inside out. it was even featured on the front cover of my venue’s annual magazine pamphlet.
while every single wedding vendor i interacted with tried to nickel and dime me for everything, nancy did the complete opposite. she quickly found out that i was a dessert fanatic and that i was super excited about cake tasting. i couldn’t decide on just one or two flavors of cake to try so she gave me a sampler of at least 12 flavors and icing/​buttercreams (with variations in sugar content), along with 3 types of fondant. i was planning a wedding from out of town so the one day i was in colorado, i had to meet with all my vendors in back-​to-​back meetings. nancy was extremely understanding of my situation and had a brief but comprehensive meeting discussing my vision for the wedding and the cake. all the cake samples were beautifully packed up in a neat to-​go box that nancy had prepared, so that we could take our time and figure out our favorites at home. i did my initial tasting 7 – 8 months before my wedding because i was so excited about the cake and nancy didn’t pressure us at all into deciding anything at the time. she said we could even wait until a few weeks before the wedding to finalize the design and flavors. of course, when i got to be around that time, i had forgotten which flavors i really liked from the sampler. really, it was more like i couldn’t decide because they were all amazing. and i’m not just saying that — i have had plenty of wedding cake and they taste just like they sound… plain, boring, wedding cake. but nancy’s cakes are truly something else. anyway, nancy was glad to give me another giant cake sampler the next time i was in town for another full day of wedding vendor bootcamp. my meetings were so packed throughout the day and some were going over time and pushing into other meeting times. i was super stressed and worried that i might miss my flight back to texas since i still had to make a stop to pick up the cake sampler. as i was figuring out what to do, nancy completely read my mind, called me, and asked if she could deliver the sample box TO MY HOUSE. what kind of ridiculously amazing service is this?! i was so extremely grateful i was at a loss for words.
soo as far as wedding planning, i became a crazy person and pinned everything on pinterest. i literally had a board for wedding cakes with 75 pins and in the end, my cake was a combination of 4 cakes and a different flavor cake and icing in not only every tier, but each of the 3 layers in each tier! you do the math. i think any other cake artist would have fired me as a customer but nancy was glad to do it and so genuinely nice ALL THE TIME. and on top of our hands down gorgeous cake (for which she supplied the flowers bc our florist was too stingy to), she also made petit fours for our dessert table — FREE OF CHARGE. it was truly unbelievable and i can’t even describe how great everything tasted. just check out the pictures. :) i almost wish i could go through wedding planning all over again and have some sort of second wedding/​renewal ceremony just so i could get another cake from nancy! she easily beats out other cake companies that charge minimums of $ 1000 – 2000 and adds on fees for everything! nancy has been doing this for years and is such a pro. she delivered and set up the cake and desserts on the wedding day (with a gorgeous cake stand of my choosing that she included for free) and everything went perfectly. i truly could not have asked for more. as far as communication, ashley b’s review is spot on. nancy prefers phone calls but even if you email her essay-​length emails full of pictures and requests she will read every last word and make your cake exactly as you envisioned.
i LOVE nancy best cakes!!!
p. s. her photos on Unilocal,her website, and her photo book are really outdated (think 1990 camera quality) but i’ll be posting some of mine here so you can get a true glimpse as to how amazing her work is!

Nancy truly makes the BEST cakes!
Her gluten free carrot cake is Absolutely Phenomenal !!! I highly recommend giving Nancy a call for your next cake needs, she is amazingly kind and talented, and as her business name is as spot on as they come, she knows how to make the BEST cakes.
And Gluten-​free options… Seriously, best carrot cake I have ever had… Moist, delicious, perfectly balanced in every way.
Thank you Nancy!

Nancy is very enthusiastic (and super friendly!) about her cakes and she definitely goes above and beyond expectation! There are SO many delicious flavors to choose from. My husband didn’t used to like cake, until he tried Nancy’s and he absolutely loved them all! My favorite was the Kahlua cake with maple filling… so amazing! Her artwork with the cakes are absolutely wonderful as well! I originally was wanting more of a simple white cake, but after discussing with Nancy, we decided to base my cake around my cake topper (lovebirds in a nest) and my cake looked like a tree! Sounds a little different but, it was amazing! Most of our wedding guests thought it was a sculpture, it was that beautiful.

I work at a lot of venues in the Denver metro and therefore get to taste a lot of wedding cakes from a multitude of bakeries. Recently I worked at the Chateaux in Broomfield and the wedding cake was from Nancy Best Cakes. And it truly was the best cake ever! I would highly recommend Nancy for your wedding cake or any other cake. It was gorgeous and sooo delicious.

HI Nancy!
Me and Joe really thought you were an exceptionally nice person. For our first meeting we were drilling you about your services because we wanted to ensure we got the right person. You were so professional and kind. When we did the sampling I could not believe what you did for us! You provided 3 different types of fondant to try. 3 frosting flavors, and several different cakes to try. We were floored at how much cake you gave us. I appreciated that you actually made us a small cake of what our wedding cake would look like. That was super amazing! We had a hard time deciding on a flavor because they were all good. We wanted a cake that was affordable, yummy and very beautiful. Your carrot cake and lemon cake was super moist and very good. Thanks for doing all the different combinations for our wedding cake. Our guests stated, «wow, that cake was good.» I loved the look of our cake, and the quality. You truly are a remarkable person and I will miss talking with you. You have a heart for this business and I can see that you love what you do. Thanks again for providing us with a great cake. In the future, you will be hearing from me so you can make me another yummy cake!
I wished they had a way to upload pictures so people can see what you did for my wedding. it was such an elegant cake.
Love Monica & Joseph

Nancy is fantastic! I didn’t have a chance to eat a ton of cake at our wedding, but what I had was amazing, and the reviews from our guests were raving about the cake. The design was spot on to what we had described to her. Nancy met with us multiple times before the wedding to discuss cake designs and give us generous tastings of different flavors of cake, filling and frosting. In a last minute pinch, I had run out of ribbon we were using for many different elements in the wedding, including the cake. Nancy offered to go to the fabric store and came back to deliver the ribbon to my work! I would recommend her for weddings or any other occasion for which you need a cake!

When I first met Nancy, I couldn’t believe how nice she was. We were given a $ 400 credit to work with for cake at our venue, and she basically said «I’ll do whatever you’d like,» and gave us a truly giant set of samples to take home and enjoy on our own. There was no pressure, and looking back, that really made it even easier to go with Nancy for our cake.
The cake was the area where my husband and I decided to be really non-​traditional. We really wanted a Pac-​Man cake. And not just any Pac-​Man cake. We wanted one like we had never seen before; we wanted it to take the idea of Pac-​Man and transfer it to a traditional, 3-​tier cake. When I brought up this idea with Nancy, she told me she had never even played Pac-​Man (what???), but was very open to the idea. I showed her pictures of the important elements, like characters and dots and the dancing fruit. She really noticed all the little details, (the direction the ghosts’ eyes were going, the size of the small and big dots), and gave me samples of her fondant work to choose from.
We ended up choosing an orange grand-​marnier cake, (which she happily agreed to make alcohol-​free), with a raspberry filling. It was delicious and light, and well-​received by our guests. Nancy repeatedly told us that if our family wanted a more traditional cake, she would happily make one for us (it was implied for a very minimal cost). Although in pictures I can see some bunching in the fondant, our cake was an incredible hit. Nancy put all the finishing touches on it at our event center, and it really brought whimsy and a great touch to our wedding.
My only negative when dealing with Nancy was that communication was sometimes hard; I would call or email her and would rarely ever hear back. However, when I did get ahold of her, or got a call back, she would have read my emails or listened to my messages, and would have adjusted to my requests. She didn’t always return calls but she did definitely listen closely.
