My fiance and I went to Barbs after being significantly underwhelmed by other bakeries in the valley. I had been familiar with Barbs from cakes that had been ordered for birthdays at a previous company, and from the Petit Fours I'd pick up on days when I needed an extra special treat. \n\nOur venue had originally sent us to Honeymoon Sweets in Tempe, which we had a terrible experience at. Our ideas were shut down at every turn as \"out of our budget\" or \"not possible\" and we left Honeymoon Sweets feeling deflated and like we'd have to compromise on our cake. Not happy with the experience, we reached out to our venue to ask about other options. We were asked what bakery we would like to use, and Barbs Bakery immediately came to mind.\n\nWe scheduled a tasting with Barbs and from the moment we were welcomed into the little shop, what a difference! We had a great experience! They prepared four different flavor combinations for us which we had requested, and sat down with a partnership mentality to work with us to design a cake that came within our budget, incorporated our ideas, and made us feel like we would get the cake of our dreams. Instead of hearing \"no\" or \"that won't work\" from the owner David, we heard, \"that's a great idea! Here's how we can make that work . . .\"\n\nWe absolutely LOVED the cake that was delivered to our venue, and we received rave reviews from guests. If you are considering a cake from Barb's, do it!!\n\n~ The Bride
