Thanks, Layers, for a scrum-diddly-umptious wedding cake! I wish I hadn't let my hubby-to-be talk me out of getting 4 layers instead of only 3. The guests wanted to try both flavors, then went back for even more! So even though we only had about 65 people there, I was left with only about 5 or 6 servings. Guess some of them were gluttons-in-hiding, like me. I don't think the top layer will last a year chilling in the freezer. I'll blame a power outage causing the cake to go bad if/when my hubby discovers the box missing. I'd blame the dog, but we don't have a dog. And thanks for the sample cakes and the surprise apple pie waiting for us when we got back to our suite after the reception! Suh-weeet beginning to a wonderful marriage!

Dear Tony, I just wanted to take time to say, THANK YOU! The wedding cake you prepared for my daughter's wedding was delicious, as well as beautiful & elegant. It was just what Diandra had envisioned. You even fulfilled our special request for a layer of funfetti flavor with french buttercream filling. Thank you for the part you played in making this a special day to remember! Sincerely,Sharon Walls

My cake was a work of art! And so tasty! I had no idea what could be done with wedding cakes, and was so pleased with everything.

Layers is GREAT!! We weren't interested in a traditional wedding cake, because we aren't cake fans. Instead, we got 14 raspberry cheesecakes!! Layers has the BEST cheesecake ever, and they transported really well (from Monterey down to Morro Bay, CA). The staff was SO helpful, and the cakes just made our event awesome! Thank you!

I was pretty busy at my wedding and so I don't really recall how the cake tasted, however, I remember from my tastings that the cake here is just devine. Plus all my guests later told me that they rushed back and ate as many cupcakes as they could get their hands on. It was a big hit! I just ordered a small 2tier cake in sea green, they put some really pretty seashell decor on them, then I had a cupcake tower those were also decorated with shells.my only recomendation is to go for the 3 teir cake, i didn't realize until i saw it how small 2 tiers look next to a huge cupcake tower :) great service, Tony was awesome to work with.

Layers did both the groom's cake (carrot cake shaped like a Super Mario mushroom), and our wedding cake (3 tier death by chocolate with marzipan). Both were so delicious, and both didn't have that stale wedding cake taste. They were moist and fresh tasting. All our guests loved the cake, we can't wait for our 1 year anniversary to eat it again!

Layers is my favorite bakery in Monterey, so of course I wanted them for my wedding cake. They did not disappoint! They sat down with me and let me taste the various cakes and icings. The red velvet was my favorite because it seemed to have a little bit of a chocolate taste which made it that much better. They even left room for my florist to add her own personal touches (per my request). Thanks again Layers, you're the best!

Layers did an AMAZING job on our cake! I literally gasped when I saw it. I sent one tiny picture I had found online of the dream cake. Our cake looked EXACTLY like it. It was absolutely perfect, and tasted great! I overheard my brother-in-law saying, 'Now this is what cake should taste like!' Their services were arranged through the Highlands Inn in Carmel, so I can't speak directly to the quality of the service. What I do know is that it was there on time and exactly what we wanted. I'd highly recommend them. If you'd like to see pictures of our beautiful cake, check out our wedding website under the 'Wedding Photos' tab.

Tony was always available to answer questions and make suggestions. My family has ordered cakes from Layers for years and they did an amazing job on my sister's wedding cake -- so I knew they were a bakery that I could trust.

I was extremely happy with Layers cake. I had envisioned a cake and had shown them about 3 different photos to get what I wanted. They did exactly that. I was a little nervous about putting together, teal, orange and green, but they did it perfect. I wish I could attach a photo. The cake was the talk of the lunch and everyone who saw a photo thought it was the coolest cake ever.

The only thing that can be said for this amazing business is that the very day we had our cake tasting with them, we signed a contract, paid them in full up front and cancelled our appointments with other bakeries. Not only are their cakes absolutely beautiful, but they taste indescribable. Seriously, they have cakes with names like “Death by Chocolate,” “Princess Cake” and “Italian Rum” with fillings like Hazelnut Cream and Lemon Curd that can be smothered in things like Poured White Chocolate or Marzipan!!!!! Honestly, we can’t drive anywhere in or near Monterey since that fateful cake tasting appointment, without stopping for a bite. And yes, they sell it by the slice and the variety available by slice changes daily.

Our wedding cake was beautiful AND delicious! I found a picture of a cake that I loved and Layers was able to recreate (and make a few modifications that I requested) and their prices were really reasonable!

Everything about this place was great. They gave us three different flavors of cake with the design I wanted. They delivered on time. We had no problems with them.

We have to say that we were very pleased with how the cake was displayed, the design and taste were extraordinarly fabulous. Everyone at the reception kept going on about how beautiful the cake was and that it was really yummy. We tried out several other bakeries in the area, but by far Layers is the best!

I picked Layers because not only did they offer more cake options compared to others I went to in Monterey, but they were priced on the low side for the quality and taste I wanted. The cake tasted great, although I only got that "one" bite. However, the cake was not designed the way I informed them. They missed one piece of information that changed the whole look of the cake, but it was still beautiful. Other than recommending you go for this place, and at least a month in advance or they could be booked, definitely make sure they've got all the right information in mind the week of the wedding to ensure they do it your way.
