Starry Night Bakery

Shannon at Starry Night was extremely flexible in working with us, and Starry Night's cupcakes are delicious (I don't have much of a sweet tooth) and working with Shannon is extremely fun. We ordered 72 cupcakes, and a big cupcake for the bride and groom. My husband is a neuroscientist, so we asked for fondant brains on our cupcake - Shannon loves kooky and unusual, she'll make your idea happen! She advises you exactly how to store, when to display, and helped us on the display ideas. I'm thankful we have such a great baker in our hometown. I recommend Starry Night Bakery without reservation - if you are getting cupcakes or any cake anywhere in the Baltimore area, I'd go with them.

My husband and I were very pleased with the price of our wedding cake before we tasted it, and after we had some, we felt like we were getting away with something. We ended up with a pretty simple cake (a three-tier peanut butter cake with chocolate mousse filling for all of the tiers. American buttercream frosting with French buttercream embellishment) and it was the single most amazing cake I have ever eaten in my entire life. My guests still tell me (8 months later) how much they enjoyed my wedding cake. We chose our cake design based off of a photo from one of the albums that the bakery had on site and made a few color alterations to it (basing the buttercream color off of our sage green invitations which they matched very well). However, after looking through the books, looking at other treats in the bakery, and working with the staff, I'm convinced that there is no design that they can't handle (and would probably enjoy some quirky or non-conventional ideas very openly). Also, we didn't have to worry about freezing any cake for our anniversary because the bakery will give us an anniversary cake in our flavors a year later which I prefer very much to figuring out how to preserve a top tier. The only advice I would have pertains to the tasting: There are TONS of really unique and delicious flavors to choose from, but you only get to select 5 cake and 5 filling flavors for a tasting, so choose wisely! Don't waste your time with yellow cake or chocolate (unless your heart is set on it) so you can maximize your unique flavor choices. Also, when you arrive at the tasting, they'll have already matched fillings to cake flavors however they feel presents them best, so if you wanted to mix and match, you have to fish fillings off the tops of cake or scoop cake out from underneath, but you're eating cake the whole time, so it's not the end of...

The cake that Starry Night baked for us was so beautiful, we didn't want to have to cut into it. And it tasted soooooo good! I have had so many people tell me that they even went back for seconds because it tasted so good. As for responsiveness and professionalism, I scored them a little lower on these because when my sister or I attempted to get information about the vegan cupcakes they have, it was like pulling teeth. My niece has severe food allergies and we wanted to make sure the cupcakes would be safe for her. When we would ask specific questions it seemed like they were just brushed aside and we were told that "we do this all the time, it will be fine". In the end we were finally able to get answers, and everything was fine, but it would have been much simpler and a much better experience had we not had to fight to make sure my niece wouldn't have a severe allergic reaction at my wedding reception.

Shannon worked with us from beginning to end on this. We had a 3-tiered cake red velvet, and chocolate chip with raspberry all with American Butter Cream. The cake looked amazing and tasted the same. Starry Night was super helpful and communicated with us both on phone and via email, and took special care to allergen needs for us. Couldn't have asked for more.‎

Shannon was a pleasure to work with. She was able to take things that I like and things my fiance liked and come up with a concept for us quickly. She also made a specific type of cake that we requested without questioning us. No matter what I requested or changed, she rolled with it and never once made me feel that I was a nuisance.

I wanted 5 different round cakes instead of one big wedding cake, with a unique flavor for each cake. After tasting cakes a few places in Baltimore we made the trek out to Westminster on a friend's recommendation and were blown away by the cake flavors at Starry Night. We had such a hard time narrowing it down to 5 flavors! In the end we chose Dark Chocolate Strawberry, Cranberry Carrot, Key Lime Coconut Twist, Cannoli, and Caramel Pecan Butterscotch. MMMMMMMM, the chocolate was my favorite, everyone at the wedding was raving about the cake, and everyone had multiple pieces. The cakes looked great too, I just wanted simple designs, very natural looking. And NO fondant! They were perfect!

Michelle was so nice and very helpful! I had looked all over for not only a place that made beautiful cakes, but also a place that madeamazing tasting cakes! I chose the canoli cake, which is chocolate chip cake with canoli filling. It was AMAZING! My husband choose coconut cake with chocolate ganache filling. I was so happy with everything!!

The Cake was so good! I had lots of compliments from guests after wedding of how much they loved the cake. The best part was the varietly and unique flavors they offer that many bakeries dont. We had three layers of different cakes my favorite being the mango cake with a strawberry filling. It was to die for. And the decorations were beautiful. My flowers flowed down from the top of the cake to the bottom layer. Thank you so much!

We went low key for the cake and just got cheesecake and it was awesome. One of the best cheesecakes I have ever had!

Shannon did a fabulous job on both our wedding cake and our rehearsal dinner cake! She matched the beading on my dress for the cake decorations, and our rehearsal dinner cake was a 3D Christmas tree with real lights! Her price was more than reasonable, and the cake tasted fabulous!

This bakery was AWESOME! My cake looked and tasted incredible! I cannot say enough good things about this place. I had to book a bakery at the very last minute because my "plan A" backed out just 5 months before my wedding and I had a terrible time finding someone new. I wanted a "mad hatter" topsy turvy cake and every where I went wanted to charge me a fee that would make most people cry. Then somehow I stumbled upon Starry Night Bakery. They are a small bakery in Westminster MD, but they are capble of GREAT things. The owner/wedding coordinator meet with my husband and myself and helped us to desing the cake that we had been trying to put together (and just couldn't seem to make work) and gave a price that was within our budget (and what we thought this cake should run us). We booked and put a deposit at the end of the first meeting. We even we back for dessert platters for our reahersal dinner. This is one of the few things that once booked went without a single problem. They did charge a $75 delivery and setup fee but we didn't feel that was unresonable as our wedding was in Gettysburg PA. And the cake was a bit "crazy"

EXCEPTIONAL cake. Many choices of cake and icing. Timely delivery. Professional and Friendly. It was exactly what we wanted.

We received and absolutely delicious cake for hundreds less than other bakeries. The baker was extremely flexible with the look of the cake and delivered just what we asked for. Highly recommended.

Shannon is absolutely fantastic to work with; very flexible, patient, and professional. The cake not only LOOKED great, it tasted fantastic! It even tasted fantastic on our one year anniversary, after being frozen all that time. If you're looking for dependable service, a professional attitude, and a unique cake, Starry Night is your bakery!
