Don't even think about going anywhere else for your wedding cake! I found Purple Elephant by searching on Yelp. I knew I wanted a rustic style cake for my Autumn themed wedding this past November. Jin was the first baker my husband and I met with for our cake tastings. The tasting was free and she gave us each a plate with generous slices of various flavors to try such as green tea, almond, vanilla, chocolate, etc. Each slice incorporated various buttercream flavors in them. I would describe her cake to be a consistency of Asian cakes (moist, fluffy, and not too sweet). Jin was also very honest in her opinion and suggested that we did not need one serving of cake for every guest. She said that a 3-tiered cake would be plenty for a 200 guest wedding. This made our cake cheaper than what was expected and I really appreciated her advice.
After the tasting, my overall feeling was that I was going to go with her. However, just to be sure I went to two other cake tastings with other bakers. Those other cakes did not compare and their prices were competitive or even more expensive. Booking her was one of the best decisions ever. She made my dream cake come to life. We had a different flavor for each tier. My favorite combination was the almond cake with cookies and cream buttercream. The cake also came with a rental cake stand and Jin was nice enough to drive all the way back to the venue to pick up the stand the same night as the wedding! Thank you Purple Elephant Cake!
