Encore Baking Company

Francie did an amazing job on our Wedding cake. We had a unique request. She listened to everything we wanted and it turned out better then we would have imagined. Many of my guest commented about how great it tasted too! We had our wedding at a winery and she trimmed it with grapes and edible vines that look authentically real which were hand crafted by Francie. If you want an ordinary cake like everyone else then get your cake elsewhere. If you want a cake that is spectacular get it from Encore! Thank You Francie and Staff!

Francie designed my daughter’s wedding cake and it was gorgeous! She understood completely that we were looking for something to fit with the Christmas season. The cake had a red buttercream frosting with delicate white pearl borders on each tier. The top of the cake was embellished with a beautiful poinsettia created by Francie as were the holly and berries that cascaded down the side. We chose to do a white/​almond flavored cake with apricot, raspberry and strawberry fillings.
Francie delivered the cake to our venue before our arrival and I must say that IT WAS GORGEOUS! The compliments on its unique beauty AND its flavor as well as its moistness are still talked about today (the wedding was in December of 2011). Francie was a dream to work with. So patient, kind and helpful. Completely professional. We had a friend that attended the tasting with us and used Encore for HER daughters wedding in September of 2012! She was just as pleased.
These cakes are worth every penny — and maybe more! Thanks, Francie!

Encore did my wedding cake and it was amazing! Not only did it look beautiful it was delicious! They listen to everything I wanted and took color swatches of items to make it a masterpiece.

Sure would be nice to be able to purchase a cake from Encore Baking! The location in Maplewood is lovely, as is the concept of supporting local businesses, but when I tried to order a specialty cake for a corporate event, I was QUICKLY put in my place when the person on the phone informed me that there is a six-​month wait to order from Encore!
Glad the bakery’s business is booming, but if they’re so popular that they’re turning customers away, why not expand? The sample cakes in the windows are beautiful, and with six months of pre-​orders, they must be delicious as well.
Maybe one day I’ll have enough advance notice of an event to be able to order from Encore, but in the meantime, Knodel’s only needs 5 days advance notice for a custom order, and they never disappoint!
