Cake was absolutley delicious and beautiful!
Robyn was wonderful to work with!! The wedding cake she made for us was beautiful and delicious. She was so easy to work with and very responsive.
Robyn crafted the absolute cake of our dreams for our wedding last month, all the way from the expert design to the delectable flavors. I don’t joke when I say her cake is one of the best tasting we’ve ever had and completely transcends the stereotype that wedding cake doesn’t taste good. We sampled multiple flavors with our families before narrowing in, but even selecting 2 flavors was a challenge as there were so many unique options. Come wedding day, the execution of our design + floral placement were perfect.
Apart from the actual cake, Robyn is a joy to work with and is extremely organized. We never once worried that the cake wouldn’t get to our venue on time, and Robyn was so efficient in working with our coordinator, caterer, and florist to get things set up.
Overall, the cake was one of the best we’ve ever had, the presentation was flawless, and we can’t wait to enjoy an anniversary cake next year!
Our cake was three layers with incredible Victorian sweeping garlands of frosting on lavendar and almond layers. Every bite was scrumptious, and the frosting had the home-made flavor you can't mistake. Best ever wedding cake!!!
Robyn was amazing to work with. Very kind and helpful during the planning process. She took our cake design and did a great job with it. The cake was absolutely delicious and everyone at the wedding commented on how good it was. Would 100% recommend Backyard Bakeries to any couple looking for tasty treats.
Robyn did an outstanding job for our wedding in September 2024! The cake, which was tiered and had 3 flavors, was a massive hit with everybody involved. I can't recommend her enough!
I would 1000% recommend Backyard Bakeries to anyone! Robyn makes the most delicious cakes! So many of my guests have reached out since the wedding to say how amazing the cake tasted and ask who made it! Robyn was so easy to talk to and work with. I wanted fresh florals on my cake, and she was able to work with my florist to make sure she had what she needed to make it happen. Our cake was beautiful and delicious!!
Our wedding cake from Backyard Bakeries was absolutely beautiful and delicious. Our two tier cake had lemon lavender and blueberry with Swiss meringue buttercream frosting. Robyn was very accommodating in our requests, we asked for a figurine of our dog to be put on the cake and she made it happen. Our cake arrived in time for the wedding, looked pretty, and our guests absolutely loved it. We highly recommend her!
Robyn with Backyard Bakeries created the perfect sweetheart cake for us to cut at our wedding reception! She was responsive and easy to work with, keeping our wedding planning stress to a minimum. She delivered the cake to our venue and set it up in a timely manner. While the cake was just for us to cut and not serve to guests, it was absolutely delicious and we are excited to eat the rest of it on our one year anniversary!
Our wedding cake was incredible.!Our guests smashed it, there were only about 4 pieces left at the end of the night. It looked just like the vision we had in mind and the taste was incredible. We had a hard time picking which flavor because they were all so incredibly good. Robyn, the proprietor and baker, was a dream to work with, so incredibly sweet. Can’t recommend this place enough.
Robyn is incredible! If ten stars were an option, I’d give her eleven. She was a perfect combination of both professional & personal and after only one meeting, was able to bring our dream wedding cake to life. And it was not an easy task, the main layer was made with thousands of wafer paper circles that she folded into half circles – it was literally a masterpiece and complete labor of love. Not to mention, delicious! We included cupcakes and chocolate covered strawberries that were to die for; so much in fact we went back after the wedding and ordered more! I couldn’t have asked for a better friend turned friend, she’s creative and fun-loving with products to match. Highly recommend for any occasion, I’ve since ordered twice from her and continue to be more impressed with every purchase!
PS. This site wont allow for me to post any pictures (WHACK) no matter the size or type, please check out her IG account at "backyardbakeries" and scroll to dates April 5, February 6, January 29 & 31, 2024 for a peek at her work of art!
Robyn did a wonderful job with my wedding cake. It was absolutely beautiful and tasted fantastic! She was able to create exactly what we wanted based off our inspo photos! She responded in a timely manner, was very professional both through text and in person, and organized her own delivery of the cake to the venue which helped this stressed out bride not have to worry. Definitely recommend her cakes!
Our wedding cake was the thing I was most looking forward to for our wedding reception. It did not disappoint! Our cake was gorgeous AND delicious. Robyn was very communicative during the consultation/cake selection process, and we had so much fun at our cake tasting. On the day, the cake exceeded my expectations. Some of the best cake I have ever had. Cannot recommend her work enough!
Robyn was amazing. She was so nice to work with and did amazing work. The cake came out lovely and tasted absolutely amazing! The flavors were unique and perfect.
Our cake was exactly what we asked for and absolutely delicious!! We lived out of state and Robyn was super easy to communicate and coordinate with. Would absolutely recommend and hope we have a reason to order from her again!
The cake was gorgeous and delicious! Communication was great and timely.
Fantastic job on our July 2022 wedding. Everyone loved the cake and dessert bar. We definitely recommend going with Backyard Bakery.
Robyn and Backyard Bakeries far exceeded our expectations! The cake was gorgeous and the price was very reasonable. Robyn was responsive, listened to what I wanted, polite and professional throughout the process from planning to pickup. The entire experience was positive and our cake looked almost identical to our inspiration photos I sent her! I definitely recommend Backyard Bakeries!
Robyn is one amazing baker. She is located in Castle Rock which is a big reason we picked her, but her cakes, cupcakes, and GF chocolate chip cookies were AMAZING. We ordered a small two tier chocolate cake with white frosting, cupcakes with three different flavors, and GF cookies. The price was very reasonable and she delivered everything perfectly. She was so kind and easy to work with. Thank you Robyn!!!!
Oh my goodness! What and amazing little bakery! We hired Robyn for our wedding cake and I cannot even believe how beautiful it turned out! Beyond that, the flavors of the cake were out of this world! This is cake worth fighting over the last piece!
Robyn - thank you so much for making auch a beautiful and delicious cake for our wedding day!
We highly recommend Robyn for anything dessert related!
Thanks again Robyn and we need more of your cake in our lives!
We booked Robyn/Backyard Bakeries to create our wedding cake for our destination wedding in Estes Park. I could not be more pleased with the planning processing and creating the cake of my dreams. Robyn was absolutely amazing to work with. Our cake itself was delicious and I have never tasted anything so scrumptious. We had traditional white wedding and chocolate peanut butter and by the end of our reception, there was no cake remaining! Not due to the lack of cake, but because of how delicious the cake was. We even ended up ordering extra cupcakes before we left town. I would highly recommend Robyn/Backyard Bakeries to anyone in the Denver/front range area who is looking for a cake/dessert bar for their wedding or special event. You will not be disappointed!!
ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!!! The owner is very personable and great communications. She does everything she can to ensure everything is perfect. We hired Backyard Bakeries for the Bridal Shower and the Wedding. The custom cookies at the bridal shower were delicious. Our dessert table at the Wedding was exactly the way we wanted it to be and the Bride/Groom cake was something from a magazine. Our guests raved about everything, but especially the macaroons. The variety of cupcake flavors is amazing and the fillings and frosting rival what I have tasted in European bakeries! HIGHLY recommend Backyard Bakeries for your event.
Robyn really went above and beyond, traveling 2 hours to bring for my sons wedding! The cake was gorgeous. Very well made, filling and icing had incredible flavor. She also helped with making brownies and cookies for the reception, which both were out of this world! I would definitely recommend Backyard Bakeries for any of your hosting needs.
We chose Backyard Bakeries as our wedding dessert vendor and Robyn absolutely crushed it! We could not have asked for anyone better to make our cake & desserts. The cake was beautiful and then we had a couple of macaroon towers, cheesecake bites, cookies, & lemon bars. Our guests could not get enough of everything that Robyn and her team made. It was all delicious.
Definitely going to reach out to Backyard Bakeries for any future events we will have.
100% recommend!
Robyn at Backyard Bakeries is amazing! I found her on The Knot for my daughter’s destination wedding in Colorado. She is professional, personable and punctual! And her cakes are incredible! I would definitely and highly recommend Backyard Bakeries.
This review honestly won't do justice to how incredible Robyn was to work with and how truly DELICIOUS the cake and desserts were that she created for our wedding! My husband and I had a pretty high bar set for the dessert served at our wedding, Kyle is self-proclaimed pastry "connoisseur" and honestly Robyn blew his expectations out of the water. She and I communicated quite a bit about what I had envisioned well before we met, and she offered to do a private little menu tasting based on what I told her we had imagined! We wanted a sweets table in addition to the cake that incorporated not only Kyle and I's taste, but fun little things specific to our son's favorite desserts! What Robyn created for us was wayyyyy beyond what we imagined. She made us a 2 tier Butter Pecan and Carrot Cake with the most amazing vanilla buttercream! Crème Brulee Macarons ( which honestly might be one of the BEST desserts I've ever had), Lemon Cake Pops , mini -pies : Pecan Pie with a Vanilla Bourbon whipped cream and a vanilla custard filled fruit tart.
When I say that no amount of words can do these desserts justice, I truly mean it. Not a single dessert was left over and I still have people complimenting how delicious everything was. Robyn was so sweet, I felt like I was working with one of my close friends to bring anything I could've imagined to life.
Do yourself a favor and hire her immediately. You won't regret it!
Robyn at Backyard Bakeries is amazing! From the start she is a very real person that treated us like we were the only clients that mattered. She had me to send her colors/inspiration for our dessert and captured it perfectly for the wedding day. We talked multiple times to get a clear idea of what we wanted. She formally worked as a nurse and understood my concerns with Covid, so we went with cupcakes and macaroons for guests and a cutting cake for us as a couple to reduce the amount of people touching each dessert. There was a mix up of address the day of the event, but she had our desserts and cake up in plenty of time for the guests. She let us borrow some beautiful dessert stands and when I returned them, she had made us some extra macaroons to take on our honeymoon the next day. I would recommend her for your event or wedding!
Such an amazing experience working with Robyn. We ordered our wedding cake from her, requesting German chocolate cake, buttercream frosting and strawberry filling and she absolutely killed it! It was the best cake I’ve had in such a long time. She was very easy to communicate with and her response time was so quick with any questions or changes I had along the way! Absolutely recommend to anyone wanting a cake so good you’ll hide some for yourselves later to keep enjoying!!! ❤️❤️
The cake was so tasty! We received many compliments on the flavor, moistness, and appearance. I would highly recommend this bakery and the products! Robyn (the owner and baker) was so easy to work with and flexible! We also used her for the bridal shower. She made gorgeous and tasty cupcakes, and the best sugar cookies I have ever eaten. They were beautiful also!
Robyn was amazing from start to finish. I am a baker myself but didn’t want to stress about making my own cake and cupcakes. She is an artist that has mastered her skill! Great flavors, and she was willing to try new things for me as well. Will definitely be using in the future for any baking needs!!
Backyard Bakeries saved the day for my daughter’s wedding when a local baker backed out on us at the last minute. The cake was beautiful and tasty! Thank you so much for all of the intricate details to make this cake perfect for this special occasion!
Robyn is an amazing baker and a terrific colleague with whom to work! As a wedding planner, I have used Robyn's services twice now and will continue to refer her. Her cakes are as beautiful as they are delicious and her macrons--leave the French envious!
