Sweet Elevation Bakery - Latham, New York

We ordered our wedding cake from Sweet Elevation and start to finish I highly recommend them! I placed the order online very easily, gave a few inspo pictures. Had plenty of time for the payment (which was so affordable!), set the delivery date and that was it! They were prompt and it looked incredible and tasted just as delicious! Will definitely be back for any other bakery needs.

I had no idea the cakes would be this big! Lol. Hubby and I were so excited to try these tastings that I forgot to take a picture of the cakes as a whole while still in the box. The cakes were so big, he took half to work! We ordered and paid for the cake a week prior. There was great communication via email, and they allowed me to make certain specificed choices. I never cared for red velvet cake, I've always had dry versions of it but this bakery completely changed my perspective of it! It was very soft and moist, same with the other batters! Our top 3 favorite cakes were the lemon cake: very soft, bright tasting with such a soft vanilla whipped icing, the raspberry almond swirl cake: hubby really enjoyed the raspberry jam. And our third favorite was the Carrot cake! That cream cheese buttercream was amazing, and the carrot cake was very soft!

I'm not sure what the cupcake was, but the Topping tasted like marshmallow, never had that before. Also It moreso felt like I was eating a muffin (unless it was a muffin) but either way it was tasty! The other cakes were also delicious, the chocolate is perfect for chocolate lovers. It was rich and the chocolate mousse was airy. The

My husband and I enjoyed every aspect of the cake and the service.

The artistry that went into our cake was museum worthy. They exceeded our expectations entirely. The details were extraordinary and very tasty.

The cake was flavored pumpkin with vanilla cream. BEST CAKE I have ever tasted. I’m thrilled we had slices left over so I can enjoy it the rest of the weekend.

Service was spectacular. Everyone was so nice and the workers were easy to communicate with.

Thank you for making our wedding day so special….and yummy!

A birthday cake for the books.

Placed an online order for my 35th birthday cake, the process is pretty simple and the turnaround time on my quote was very fast. Went with a 6 inch round, the almond/raspberry cake, cherry filling, and peanut butter frosting. My theme for the cake was fall/autumn trees, and the total came to $75. Quite the pricy cake, but this is a once a year thing so that was whatever.

While the site itself was not updating my order status at all, even now it still says "in progress", the cake was ready and waiting for me on my chosen pickup date. It looks great, the theme I picked was expertly done, and I even nabbed a few other goodies for dinner that night as the cake was for the next day.

When I did finally dig into the cake the next evening, I was amazed at how rich and sweet the peanut butter frosting was. They must have used a powered peanut butter for it, since it was a very pale color, but it still packed that same peanut punch. Reminded me of the filling they had in those Planters PB Crisps. The cake base itself was very dry however, and I know I went to a gluten free choice so my entire party could enjoy, but that was in serious need of hydration. And the cherry filling did little to assist in that endeavor, as it only took up the very core of the cake. I was rather let down by how little cherry filling there was, as the frosting also took up about 25% of the space for filling. Likely to plug the cherry inside the cake, but that really left so little room for the chunkier cherries. Not the best cake I've ever had for a birthday celebration, but that frosting held its own.

As for everything else, all the miscellaneous treats I picked up, they were all really good. My favorite was the shortbread funfetti cookie, a more subtle sweetness, but with that delicious buttery flavor. They could use some work on the lemon bar, as its crust was so thick it took over the texture, even though the lemon curd itself was super hefty.

Overall I was a bit let down on the cake's texture, being so dry, but the flavor was there and the design was perfect. The smaller treats were all really good, even the ones I took issue with, so I'd highly recommend anyone looking for a cookie or muffin for dessert stop in. They even offer day olds for free! Very nice.

Words cannot express the gratitude I have for Sweet Elevation!! I’m out of state and my daughter’s a student at RPI. On Monday, I ordered a cake for her 21st birthday and including an inspiration photo
They knocked it way out of the park and scored a grand slam in my book!!
They delivered it to her sorority house within my requested time frame AND texted me with a pic of the delivery.
The cake is simply gorgeous. Thank you for helping make my daughter’s day special

We had a Wonderful baby sprinkle for my daughter this weekend. Multiple guests were asking me the name of the bakery. The cupcakes, macaroons and cookies were delicious! The staff took my information of the theme and main colors for shower and created exactly what we wanted for the desserts. I highly recommend Sweet Elevation Bakery!
