I ordered a cake with the European Bakery months before my wedding. I went there to taste test, made my order, and confirmed the delivery. They called weeks later to discuss the exact time it would be delivered. When we asked if we needed to give a deposit, they told us "not to worry about it, we could pay later." Then, on the day of my wedding the cake NEVER SHOWED UP. The bakery stated we hadn't paid so they never made the cake. They took the time to call me to finalize drop-off details but failed to mention we still owed them money. The cake never showing up was the biggest disappointment of my wedding day and completely unprofessional for them to just not show up with the cake at all with no forewarning. I would order my wedding cake from anywhere else in the Portland area before ordering it from them.

We wanted the European Bakery to make our cake so much that my dad picked up my cake from Maine and drove it to New Hampshire -- they packed it securely for him and it was awesome!

European Bakery did a lovely job on our wedding cake ! They were responsive, helpful and reasonably priced ! Would recommend for events!

I was hesitant when I went to my tasting and saw that it was not a fancy bakery and no one was pouring champagne (I mean I kind of thought that is what a cake tasting was about, right?) but once I tasted the cakes and the magic that is honey buttercream (it's what dreams are made of!) I had a change of heart. No, the bakery isn't fancy, it's on some highway in the middle of nowhere and no, they don't roll out the red carpet for brides doing cake tastings. But what counts is they have endless options and will work with you to create your vision. Do not look at the book, as all of their cakes look like they are from 1987 - just send them photos of what you want the cake to look like and they will make it happen. Our cake was gorgeous and even more importantly, delicious! Also, pro tip - take the cake samples home with you! They do not bake the cakes the same day as your wedding in most cases - and we totally liked another cake the day of, but after trying all the cake samples the day aft... Read moreer (and again the day after that!) we found the European Bakery cakes were even more delicious and one of the other bakery's cakes had totally dried out. Our cake was perfect and I can't wait to have the topper on our one year!

European Bakery did a fantastic job on our wedding pies and cupcakes. We had apple and cherry pies and three kinds of cupcakes for 115 people. We wanted a Boston Cream cupcake, which was not on the menu, but the team created a delicious cupcake that fit the bill and everyone loved it. Great job team!

European Bakery did a wonderful job with my wedding cake! Even though they changed ownership in the period of me placing my order and them making my cake, they still did a wonderful job. The new owners sat down again with me to go over everything and make sure they had everything right. Cake testing was the best part! I had no need to worry when it came to be my wedding day. My cake was delivered and was beautifully what I dreamed of!

Cake tasting is the best part about wedding planning! European Bakery gave us so many options with cakes, frostings and fillings. We decided on three different flavors for each tier and our guests loved all the them! The cake was light and spongy, while the frosting was creamy and sweet. While planning our cake, I was worried the cake would look to short. The staff was helpful and suggested to add a extra layer to each tier. I am so happy they were there helping make the cake of my dreams. They delivered the cake to the reception and used the flowers the florist left for them. It looked stunning! We would definitely order from them again.

The cake and filling was delicious and the design was absolutely gorgeous!

My husband and I were lucky enough to have our cupcakes/cake for our wedding from the European Bakery! The cakes/cupcakes were not only DELICIOUS, but decorated to a perfect 10. Our guests could not stop talking about our desserts and thought the world of the bakery. 5 stars by far for this bakery! Cannot wait to book this bakery again for a future event!

So let me start by saying I am a cake person. I love cake. I look forward to holidays and events because of cake being served at some point. Helen and European Bakery were recommended to me by the venue I had my wedding at this previous weekend. Because I live in Ohio, my husband and I weren't able to do any cake taste testing, but trusted the recommendation. After having my wedding cake, I wish I did live closer so I could cake taste test at European Bakery as a past-time hobby. Our cake was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. And lucky for me (I mean us) -- there were leftovers aside from our 1 year anniversary slice. And I absolutely ate another piece the day after the wedding! Everyone complimented not only the incredible flavor, but the beautiful design. Helen, do you ship cakes? My birthday is in a month :) XO

We ordered quite a variety from Helen for our wedding: various fruit pies, two kinds of mini whoopie pies, wedding cake, and bread for blessing. Everything was delicious. We went for a tasting before we ordered and just couldn't stop eating everything. For our cake, we ordered a yellow cake with lemon buttercream and fresh blueberries. It was so light and delicious. Helen is very sweet and easy to work with.

The best creme ever. You guys are so talented. Thank you for our daughters wedding cake!

Beautiful and delicious cakes!

European Bakery is the best! Our wedding cake was so delicious and beautiful and the staff could not be friendlier. Such a wonderful bakery!
