We get her cupcakes all the time, super good.
We had a cake made for a small wedding, and it was beautiful. Quickly made and really to be honest can't complain. I like it WAY better than wildewood.

We did a tasting for our wedding. We thought her cakes tasted good; some of them were absolutely beautiful but some of them didn't look so great. When we found out the price of her wedding cakes we decided that it wasn't worth that kind of money to take a chance at an ok looking cake that was just good but didn't stand out as amazing.

We ordered a cake from her back in 2008 when she's still on Chancellors Run road for my daughter's Debut. At that time, we paid I believed $400 for a three-tiered cake. It was beautiful and taste great.

I'm 2 old 2 die young!
I am buying my niece's wedding cake and I think the average price is around 3.00 per slice. Getting mine from a small company in Chas Co, but they are outstanding.
I think Wildewood cakes are pretty, but there is no substance to them, so to speak. I come away unsatisfied, and that is just not what I'm looking for in pastries. Additionally, I think the owner is terribly rude.
I think I might go to Anita's today for a cupcake, though, based on posts here...

If you do, please make sure to grab a peanut butter one, it will have chocolate chips and peanuts on the top. O M G amazing. Although honestly you can't go wrong with any of them.I think Wildewood cakes are pretty, but there is no substance to them, so to speak.

I like the vanilla with Raspberry. But basically every cupcake I have had from there is good (I can't speak to the Peanut Butter one as I don't eat Peanut Butter in baked goods).

We went by Wildewood twice in the past few weeks looking for someone to make a birthday cake for us, ( one of the young ladies working the counter acted like we were interrupting her and really didnt seem interested in helping us ) that should have been a clue ... the estimated cost was in the range of $50 - $100 but when they called us with the " real " quote it was going to be $ 185 !!!
Long story short ...we are still looking for a cake...

Anita's cakes are GREAT. The taste is way better than other cakes. I've been to weddings where every table was full of plates of leftover cake with only a few bites out of them. What a waste. A cake should not only look good, but taste good also!
In reference to the poster who said some of anita's cakes looked good and others didn't look as good- that is probably because of different price points/budget constraints. Anita will work within your budget- but understand you get what you pay for. If you want the fondant cake that looks like it came straight from the pages of a magazine, she can make it but it will cost a lot more $$. She also makes less impressive cakes for those of us with more modest budgets. The cheaper cakes might not look as fancy, but they still taste amazing.
Plus, Anita is an incredibly kind & generous person. And supporting her shop is supporting a small business in our local economy. Highly recommended!

Did you say peanut butter cupcakes?
Peanut butter cookies and icecream are my favorite. I might have to stop by and try one of these!!!
