Chickadee Hill Cakes

Chickadee Hill Cakes is the place for you, no matter your style or budget! I am known as a picky person, I was impressed with Chickadee Hill from start to finish for our wedding cake for our wedding earlier this week. I can’t say enough good things about them. The cost was less than other places NH — and it is the best tasting cake/​frosting I have EVER had! Four days later and it still tastes amazing. They are our bakery for life now. I really can’t tell you how lucky we are to have found this place thanks to others who wrote reviews. Not only is Chickadee Hill priced well and tastes amazing– the customer service and beauty of their cakes will not disappoint. They are well-​organized and clear communicators.

I was very picky while hunting for a bakery to create cakes for our wedding in April of 2015. Since we decided to have several cakes (4, to be exact) and that they would be centerpieces, we really wanted them to be works of art. No offense to large bakeries, but they just pump out large volumes of baked goods and it shows in the craftsmanship. I found pictures of designs that we really liked on Pinterest, of course, and brought them to our tasting. They worked with us to make final decisions, provided suggestions, and even had us send them color swatches so that they could match the frosting exactly. The finished products were exactly what we’d asked for and they were just as delicious as they were beautiful. I would strongly encourage anyone who is planning a wedding or any other type of special occasion to hire Chickadee Hill Cakes to create you a masterpiece!

A friend recommended Chickadee Hill to me, as I was looking for something special for my niece’s 13^th birthday. She and her family came to visit from out of town, on short notice, so I didn’t know if I could get a cake in time that wasn’t from a grocery store, as they usually like about four weeks lead time for specialty cakes. I took a chance and asked anyway; a small 6″ with an equestrian theme. They said yes (yay!) and could fit it in between wedding cakes that weekend. We just went with a chocolate fudge cake (four layers of decadence!) with chocolate Italian buttercream icing between and vanilla outside. Left the decoration up to their artistic bent. Simple silhouette of a horsehead, with blue fondant polka dots all over and a lovely rope twist around the horsehead. It looked fabulous and tasted even better. I didn’t think $ 45 to be excessive at all for their skill, creativity and customer service. Actually a shame to cut into it, but you can only deny yourself the pleasure for so long. Made a new teenager very happy! :))

We recently hired Chickadee Hill Cakes for our October wedding and if there is a question about who you should go with — go with Chickadee Hill Cakes! No question! We live a distance from the store so we were unable to meet with the staff directly for a tasting and to come up with a design. The staff understood and had us pick out a few designs we liked. We forwarded our favorites, along with an image of our invitation and from there they whipped up an AMAZING design. We were able to have two kinds of cake with two kinds of frosting and we had literally the best wedding cake I have ever had!
As the bride I am a little biased but we had over half of our wedding guests on the ride from the reception to the hotel tell us that it was absolutely the best cake they had ever had. We had some boxed up for the «after-​party» but unfortunately it never made it since we descended on it during the bus ride back. The staff was also kind enough to accommodate a groom’s cake that was done as a surprise for my husband as a memorial for his father who passed away a few years ago. Chickadee Hill Cakes did such an amazing job — people are still talking about how well it represented his father. I wholeheartedly recommend Chickadee Hill Cakes. Professional, delicious, well-​priced, prompt in responding and did I mention, DELICIOUS!

Just an update from our wedding day on Oct. 6^th, we were absolutely elated (as expected) with the results. It was the cake we envisioned and our guests were delighted by the flavors. People are still raving a few weeks later.
My aunt thought it was the best Carrot Cake she’d ever had. Yeah, that’s because it was Pumpkin Cake =)

If I could give them a 0 I would. I called to book a tasting for my wedding in 2015 and she refused to schedule us until November. My venue doesn’t have any availability for 2014 which is why we need to wait until 2015. I am a SUPER planner and like to have everything planned in advance, however she laughed at me and said «well we have that date open for sure.» I told her that Jacques pastries had scheduled us a tasting for this weekend and that if she couldn’t book us earlier that e would just go with them and she said okay bye. Way to let future business go right out the window. Completely disappointing, because this vendor was recommended to us.
