There are so many decisions to be made for your wedding day and so many vendors to work with that sometimes it can be difficult to decide which vendor is the right one to use.  At Great Cakes! of the Outer Banks, we know that this is a special time in your life and working with your vendors should be fun and as easy as possible.  We strive to provide excellent customer service to our brides so that ordering their cake is simple and exciting even from a far away distance.

Recently, one of our brides sent us an e-mail letting us know why they thought Great Cakes! was the baker they felt confident using for their big day.  Her e-mail to us is below:

“I must say – I chose Great Cakes over Just Desserts  for some many reasons:

1. Your cakes taste great

2.  Your website is beautiful and you showcase your designs in a easy to view way

3. Your designs are creative, impressive and beautiful

4.  Your customer service is top notch. We have not spoken on the phone, and I feel completely comfortable with the service you have provided over email. Your payment process is a “piece of cake,” and you provide more then enough information.

5.  Your attitude was simply delightful as well

Thank you for a great experience so far. It is nice to know my cake is in good hands!  I received quite the opposite service from the other vendor.”

At Great Cakes! we believe the entire process of designing your cake should be an experience as wonderful as your wedding day.  Contact us to let us take care of you and your cake!

- Love is sweet

Take twelve whole months.

Clean them throughly,

of all bitterness, hate

and jealousy.  Make them

just as fresh and clean as

possible.  Now, cut each month

into twenty-eight, thirty, or thirty-one

parts, but don’t make the whole

batch at once.  Prepare it one day at

a time out of these ingredients.

Mix well.  Add to each day one part

of hope, faithfullness, generosity,

meditation, and one good deed.

Season the whole batch with a dash

of good spirits, a sprinkle of fun, a

pinch of play, and cupful of good

humor.  Pour all of this into a vessel

of love.  Cook throughly over

radiant joy, garnish with a smile.

and serve with quietness,

unselfishness, and cheerfulness.

You’re bound to have a happy year!
