Sweet Water Bakehouse

Becca provided us with the best groom's cake I have ever seen. My husband loves his dog, almost more than me, and we wanted to surprise him with a cake that was an exact replica. She did amazing with the cake and it was identical to our dog Sugar. If I could post pictures here I would! The cake was also delicous and Becca was very easy to work with. Thanks again for an amazing groom's cake!! Joy & Brian

Becca at Sweetwater Bakehouse did exactly what I was looking for in my wedding cake. Which was not an easy task since I had been to SEVERAL other bakers. Not only did she have the best tasting cake for the best price, she let me create a design that was unique to me. She was easy to work with and flexible with meeting times. Many of the guests commented on how great the cake tasted; saying it was the best tasting wedding cake they had ever eaten. Becca listened to what I wanted and then recreated my vision perfectly. The cake added to the decor of the room and having three flavors gave everyone something they liked. Her price was the best for the flavor and style. The wedding cake is an important piece to the event and Becca made a cake that was perfect.

I hate to have to write bad things about Sweet Water, but I have to, because unfortunately Becca managed to mess up not one, but two cakes for my wedding weekend. I was so excited when we tasted her cake and visited her in her cake shop on Benson. I loved the cake, icing and fillings,and clearly, from her design book she is immensely talented, so I'm not sure what happened during our wedding weekend. The first problem occurred when my mom and I went in to design the wedding cake. I brought in my invitation and save the date and told Becca about my wedding theme and what I wanted in a cake, but she was unable to come up with a design, so I ended up choosing one out of her book. Which was fine, but disappointing as I really wanted a custom,individual cake. The second problem occurred with the grooms cake. I had ordered a surprise cake in the shape of Ohio with various fondant cut-outs of places and things in Ohio that are special to my husband. Unfortunately, when we arrived at the rehearsal dinner (where the surprise cake was waiting for my groom and I) it looked ridiculous. There were four, very poorly,cut out fondant placards, and that was it. It was a joke. The third problem occurred on my wedding day. My cake was supposed to have sugar icicles on top of the cake and coming down the cake as decoration. I actually saw Becca bringing the cake in and setting it up before I headed out with my bridal party for pictures. Unfortuantley she failed to mention to me, my bridal party, my day-of coordinator, my mom, or the site coordinator that she had broken the icicles at her bakery and didn't have time to remake them. So when I came back from pictures the cake was set-up sans icicles and Becca was gone. It was unbelievably unprofessional,and extremely disappointing. The cake looked pretty, however, it wasn't what we had paid for - the icicles were the most prominent part of the design. I will say that the cake was delicious and her pricing is reasonable. However, I can not recommend Sweet Water Bakehouse based on my wedding weekend experience with her. I even emailed her about these issues after I returned from my honeymoon and her response was a short two sentences that said she cares about customer service and would be happy to make us a free cake. Sadly, I wanted my cakes for our wedding weekend, and a cake now does me no good.

Becca was amazing! She was able to work with us in every way possible! The cake got rave reviews and I even sent a few of my friends her way for their cakes!!!! Thanks for everything!!!!!!!!!!!

Becca and her cakes are amazing!! She was very professional and her cakes were very fresh and moist. She was able to help us design a cake that was perfect for our wedding. Our guests loved the cake. I have already recommended Sweet Water Bakehouse to several brides I know.

We highly recommend Becca at Sweetwater Bakehouse. She was a pleasure to work with and very responsive to any questions we had. We supplied her with a few pictures of cakes and she more than hit the mark...great job Becca! The cake was so delicious and moist...the only downside is the cake was so good there was not a single piece left over....but we are so looking forward to our anniversary topper. There are a few bakers in Reading, Ohio but don't waste time....go directly to Sweetwater Bakehouse and see Becca...I promise you will not be disappointed. Thanks again Becca. Dave and Tina

Becca did a wonderful job on the cake for our wedding! We really loved how she was able to provide us with vegan cupcakes for our vegan/vegetarian guests in addition to using local products for our wedding cake! Both cupcakes and wedding cake were very tasty and beautiful!!!

Becca was nothing less than FANTASTIC when it came to our wedding cakes! I gave her pictures with ideas of what we wanted, and she recreated them perfectly! Not only did they look beautiful, but they tasted great! The cookies and cream were our favorite! Our guests have commented about the cakes, saying they were possibly the best wedding cakes they had ever had! Becca was always quick to respond to any questions that I had throughout the process. I can't wait for our anniversary so that we can get another cake!

The cake was delicious and lovely. We went for a rather simple design - so I can't speak to how they'd do with a more intricate cake - but we were very, very happy. As were our guests. And I love that they offer a cake tier for your 1-year anniversary!

I cannot begin to describe how amazing our cake was. I am not someone who loves sugary icing for the butter cream icing is delicious! Her variety of flavors are endless when you think of the combinations of cake flavors and fillings and it became very hard to pick. I am actually very disappointed I didn't get a chance to taste two of the flavors at our wedding because I remember how good they were at the tasting. Her cake is always so moist and freshly baked and you can tell. I highly recommend trying the cookies and cream and the red velvet! YUM!

The two most important features to us for our cake were a simple design and an option of flavors. Becca delivered both to us. The cookies and cream cake and filling is a must. Numerous guests told us that it was the best wedding cake they have ever had, and we agree.

We had such a great experience with Becca. My fiancé, now husband, and I saw a picture of a cake we liked in a magazine. Becca was able to take the picture and our vision to create the perfect cake! It was beautiful, exactly what we wanted, not to mention...delicious!!

This place was fantastic for our wedding cake. We stopped by the store to take a look, and it's so super cute. Purple walls, cute decor, it was like a little shop you'd see featured on food network. :) Becca was totally welcoming and open to our suggestions and recommended flavors for us. We had lots of compliments on the cake for our special day. I highly recommend!

Becca is very responsive and flexible! Recommend to everybody!

Becca is a very nice person and does get back to people whether it is through e-mail or telephone as soon as she possibly can. The cake was delicious and tasted the same on my wedding day as it did the day I went cake tasting. I would recommend Sweet Water Bakehouse to anyone who loves cake! I can't wait to eat my anniversary tier!

Becca was a pleasure to work with. I wanted something simple and elegant and she delivered just that. She is enthusiastic and easy to get a hold of. Excellent range of flavors. No complaints!

Thank you Becca so much for the beautiful cake. Not only was it beautiful but it was delicious:) My husband and I will and have refereed everyone we know to you. God Bless you and thanks again.Matt and Jeana Dotson

Our wedding cake was amazing- it looked just like the picture I brought in and it tasted even better. The cake was fresh and the buttercream icing was wonderful- and she didn't drown it in icing either! Thanks so much Becca :)

The cake was incredible!! Becca had several photos of her cakes and there was a black and white one with swirls that was exactly what I wanted. Everyone commented on how amazing the cake and buttercream icing was. And I love that she bakes a top layer for your one-year anniversary for free so that it's fresh and you don't have to buy extra cake to make up for it. :)

We found Becca through the Knot.com and went for a tasting about 16 months before our wedding. Since we were from out of town and had to do everything in about a four days, we were on a time schedule. As soon as we met her, we knew. She is very pleasant and polite and her shop is really cute. Her and her husband do all the baking and deliveries which adds that special touch. We never contacted her until about two weeks before the wedding to finalize everything. We gave her some ideas and she ran with it. People at the reception: best cake ever, tastiest frosting, not too sweet, moist. Everyone had nothing but praise for the cake. The offset design was awesome and we deleted a tier towards the end, which she had no problems accomodating for. We can't tell you how much we appreciated the cake and Becca. It was absolutely amazing! Her bakery and personality fit to what we wanted. Her heart and sould is in the cake for sure. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone for any type of cake. Thank you so much.......
