We really do create delicious memories.

Dear Oakmont Bakery,
I have to admit that when my mom told me you guys never made a Penguins cake like the one you made for me, I was a little worried. But I must say I don’t know who could have done it better.
Not only did the cake look amazing, it tasted like heaven!
If someone I know ever needs a specialty cake, I will be sure to recommend your bakery.
You guys are absolutely amazing and I can never thank you enough!
Always know, “it’s the cake that makes the party!”

We ordered a custom designed cake from the Oakmont Bakery, which was delivered to my daughter's 1-year birthday luncheon at Fox Chapel Golf Club on April 10th.  We worked with Courtney Daniels, whom I believe is your custom cake specialist, in the design phase.  I do not know which of your bakers worked on the project, but I would certainly like to know, so that I can commend them by name, as well.

    To say the result was extraordinary, is an understatement.  I have contracted for services of all kinds in my personal and professional affairs, from neurosurgeons to painters to structural engineers.  I have never been so thoroughly pleased and impressed by the services provided.  The artistry and craftsmanship were just overwhelming.  Actually, the entire process from beginning to end was satisfying and impressive.  Courtney worked with my young daughter in the design aspect.  She took my daughter's ideas. which involved decorating the cake with replicas of her pets (a Yorkie, a white cat and a turtle) and melded them into a well balanced layout in an extremely artistic concept.  I must say that I am not only impressed with Courtney's capability, but also her deportment and the rapport that she established with my young daughter were exceptional.  A day before the cake was delivered, someone had the forethought and courtesy to email photographs of the components, with recommendations regarding assembly.  I found that to be highly professional and costumer-oriented.

The cake was delivered in a timely manner, and was appropriately set up and assembled in the designated room at the Golf Club.  Again, the results were nothing short of amazing.  As a crowning achievement -- the cake was delicious!

    My daughter got the idea for this extraordinary custom designed cake from a television program which I believe is called "Cake Boss".  She almost had me driving to Hoboken, New Jersey to pick up a custom cake from the shop there.  I am so pleased, and grateful that the Oakmont Bakery, which is located two miles from my home, was able to equal if not surpass the "Cake Boss".  You, too, should have a television series. 

    I want to thank everyone involved.  I look forward to doing business with the Oakmont Bakery in the future.

Once again you have amazed me! I picked up my son's 2nd birthday cake on Sunday and I was very pleased. One of your cake decorators drew a picture of a dump truck. Your cakes are worth every penny that they cost. My guests could not believe how beautiful his cake was. My comment over and over again was......"That is why I get all of my cakes from Oakmont Bakery"

Again, thank you!

Donna


Dear Courtney and the Team at Oakmont Bakery,

Thank you for creating a unique atmosphere for our guests and for arranging for such a beautiful work of art for our wedding.

All the best,

Ding & Gordon


To All at Oakmont Bakery,

We would like to send out our sincerest thanks to the Oakmont Bakery for the wonderful job you did on our wedding cake. It truly was a great looking cake and added to the elegant look we wanted not to mention how fabulous it tasted. We have tried many products from your bakery and are never disappointed in them, so I knew that you were the bakery we wanted to trust in handling one of the most important aspects of our wedding. Everyone always raves when we have something from Oakmont Bakery and the wedding was no different. Courtney, it was a pleasure working with you and you were always helpful with any and all questions we had. Keep up the great pride you take in your work.

Thanks again!

Linda and CK Lui


We wanted to thank you for making our perfect wedding cake! It was beautiful and tasted great. It was exactly what we had dreamed of! Thank you for the outstanding service as well.

Thanks!

Oakmont Bakery Staff,
 
I just wanted to email you and thank you for the wonderful job you did on my son's Bob the Builder cake yesterday. The cake was absolutely beautiful (not to mention it tasted delicious as well). The design on the cake looked perfectly flawless. As always, I know I can always count on your bakery for a wonderful cake.
 
Thank you for always doing an amazing job!

My daughter Tara just celebrated her 21st birthday, she wanted a cake made out of cupcakes which I knew I could not do.  I called the Oakmont bakery explained to them what I wanted and with a theme for a 21st birthday.  I would have never expected what I got.  It was a cake made out of cupcakes shaped like a margarita complete with edible glitter for the salt around the rim.  She could not believe her eyes, thanks to you her 21st was one to remember.

Oakmont Bakery is phenomenal!  Your “everything bread” and cookies are part of every family celebration at my house.

Recently, I purchased a variety of your cupcakes for several client meetings.  I learned a valuable lesson – nobody turns down a visit from me when I come bearing Oakmont Bakery cupcakes.  They have become a staple in my “sales kit”.  Thanks for making my job a little easier!

My co-worker M. D. ordered a yellow batter cake with chocolate butter cream and fudge.  It was absolutely delicious.  I would also like to compliment the decorator; it was almost too beautiful to cut.  The detail and color combination was gorgeous – this person went above and beyond the customary cake decorating.

Too often consumers are quick to complain, but not bestow compliments where deserved.  This cake made a special Birthday celebration – extra special.

Thank you!!
Best regards,
Renee


My uncle and cousin just brought me cookies and biscotti from your bakery- WOW!! I just wanted to let you know how amazing your products taste! I'm sure you hear it all the time, but, WOW! I live at the Jersey Shore- I've had good bakery items, but yours are superb! What a treat to try such delicious food! Thanks!

Lori Blomquist


I am from State College and was in Oakmont on Sunday. I purchased a dozen of your cupcakes as a gift for my sons girlfriend. "Spectacular!" was the word used to describe your cupcakes!

Thank you for the wonderful product!
Sharon Dougherty


Thank you so much for all your help and the lovely wedding cake for my daughter's wedding. It was not only beautiful but delicious as well. It was very elegant and fit the Grand Hall perfectly! It was great working with you.

Thanks again,
Kathy


I just wanted to let you knows that I bought 20 dozen cookies for my daughter's wedding in coastal Georgia and dragged them 700+ miles to the reception. I had to keep hiding them from my husband's brothers prior to the ceremony because they are totally addicted to just about anything you make and live in Charlotte and DC where they don't seem to have many bakeries. We had a brand x wedding cake (sorry I just don't have the chops to drag a wedding cake that far in the back of the station wagon and expect it to survive) and groom's cake (southern tradition) but the cookies were the hit and disappeared within hours. During my Saturday shopping trips, I am commanded to stop at Oakmont Bakery and get my husband his weekly supply. Thanks for the great product!

Heather Wallace


We just wanted to take a moment and thank you for your wonderful bakery. We found your place only a couple of months ago when you made photo cookies for my mother's 60th birthday. The cookies were so well done and very good. Since then we have returned to your location for the wonderful food. We can't decide on a favorite because everything is so delicious. In addition, your service has been excellent every time. Have a great holiday!

"The borough's culinary crown jewel, the legendary Oakmont Bakery, always has a staggering selection of mouth-watering cakes, cookies, cupcakes and other confections. And its candied apples this season are scrumptious".

I am so appreciative of the fact that such a spectacular bakery is within driving distance to my house (30 min). When my relatives from North Carolina visit they stay at my house and I MUST have your pecan coffee cake. They like it so much that when I fly down for a visit, I always buy two and pack them in my suitcase. This is such a pleasant surprise for them when I arrive. The batter just melts in your mouth... like nothing they have ever tasted before. I must also agree with your other customers that even though I am just at your bakery to pick up an order, I always leave with more than I intended to. I have yet to come across something I didn't like.

Keep up the terrific work and please, please don't ever leave the area!!

Becky


First off I just want to say I love your Bakery.

The Oakmonter is so good and we just love your butter cream icing.But the main reason I'm emailing you is to ask you, I've heard that you may be moving up to Giant Eagle in Oakmont is this true?

Thanks for creating such delicious memories!

Vincent

 

No, that's just a rumor that's been going around. We feel that our location is the perfect place for Oakmont Bakery.

 


The Oakmont Bakery Staff,

We wanted to thank you all for the beautiful job you did on our wedding cake! It was gorgeous and delicious! Everyone was raving about the cake and I was happy to pass on the word about my favorite bakery ever... Oakmont Bakery!!!!

Oakmont Bakery,

I wanted to send a thank you for the great service provided this past weekend in preparing a sheet cake for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. We had to arrange everything from out of town and I wanted to thank you for the personal attention we received. Your kind service, helpful suggestions, and classic/tasteful decorating skills helped to create the perfect centerpiece for our special celebration. Everyone wanted to know where we got the cake. Additionally, not to forget, the cake was delicious.

I will definitely be back to the bakery when I visit Pittsburgh again!

Rich and Pauline Olshefski


To the amazing staff at Oakmont Bakery,

Thank you so much for an amazing wedding cake for our April 19th, 2008 wedding! It was everything we ever dreamed of, and tasted amazing too! We'll be loyal customers for cakes and cupcakes for years to come.

Thanks again!

Dear Marc and Company,

Thanks so very much for making our Pittsburgh segment of PPG's 125th Anniversary so special! All of your extra efforts are certainly appreciated. I'll send you a copy of our just-printed publication with a photo of our CEO cutting one of your delicious cakes.

Sincerely,

I am writing to comment on a very positive experience that I had with your bakery this past weekend.  I came in on Friday, April 25 to order a cake to pick up on Sunday.  Michael took the order and was very careful to “get” what it was that I was looking for.  The cake was a congratulations cake for our Upper School musical – Once On This Island.  He was thoughtful enough to go over to the other building to check with the decorator about my request, etc. before we finished the order.  Having placed the order, I left feeling confident about it. 

I was more than pleased on Sunday when I picked up the cake.  It was absolutely beautiful.  The designer did an incredible job interpreting my idea for this cake and making it a reality.  The students loved the cake and commented that it was the perfect ending to the run of the show.  To Michael and to the decorator, thank you!

Dan


I just wanted to let you know I ordered a cake from you last week for my daughter's birthday.  We just moved here from New Hampshire and she was bummed that we wouldn't be able to order her cake from her favorite bakery we went to in the past.  We were told by family to try your bakery and you didn't disappoint.  My daughter loved her cake and so did everyone else in the family.  Your decorating was just beautiful.  Thanks so much!

Julie


I just wanted to pass along a little note to let you know my husband thinks your donuts are incredible.  I think they are the "tiger" donuts.  I am really not sure but we live in Avalon and my husband drives to Oakmont just to buy "goodies" at your bakery.  He came home the one day and explained to me he just spent $150 on donuts.  I asked him how in the world he could spend $150 on donuts.  Well he was on his way to work when he had a "craving" for one of your donuts.  He did not want to show up late for a meeting so he drove fast to get to your bakery and then to work on time--He got a speeding ticket.  I asked him if it was worth it and he said yes.  My husband is a VERY picky eater so if he likes going to Oakmont just to go to your bakery--you must be doing something right. I am not a "sugar" eater so I have yet to try one of your donuts.  I am not sure what else you may have as I have never been to your bakery and my husband only buys your donuts.  I just wanted to thank you--since my husband is very picky with what he eats, it is sometimes hard to make things for him.  If he wants to drive to Oakmont to buy donuts, I will not stop him.  I am happy he found something he likes.

To all at Oakmont Bakery,

My mother and I just hosted a baby shower for my sister this past Saturday.  We used Sassy Razzy and custom decorated Parrot Head cupcakes to create the most amazing cupcake tree center pieces and they were the hit of the shower.  Not only were they incredibly beautiful, but they were also uniquely delicious.  When our guests said “They’re too pretty to eat!” we replied “They’re too good not to!”.

I have attached a few pictures of the cupcake trees so you can enjoy seeing your hard work pay off.  Thank you for helping us create something so special for our special event.

You really do create delicious memories! 

Sincerely,
Caren


To Whom It May Concern,
I have to write to let you know we have been celebrating Mardi gras here at work for uncountable years. We have received King Cakes from New Orleans (shipped overnight to us). This is our first year getting our King Cakes from Oakmont Bakery and they received rave reviews. All agreed that is was much better than the ones we have received from New Orleans, where you would think they would have the best. I purchased the cinnamon and raspberry, my personal favorite was the cinnamon. YUMMY! As I was at the bakery I noticed the Paczki and I purchased the Pittsburgh Cream (My Favorite), Raspberry, Custard and Blueberry. There are not many bakeries that make Paczki in the Pittsburgh area and we were in awe over these!
I have had several of your products over the years; some of my favorites are the Oakmonter, Chocolate Mousse Cake, Peanut Butter Fudge Delight, Boston Cream Cake, Carrot Cake, Caramel Torte and many many more! I wish I could use your bakery more often as I work near the airport and it is a bit out of the way.
Anyhow, I have to thank you for making myself and coworkers happy every now and then!

Thanks so much
Vince


To Whom It May Concern
I am from Cincinnati, OH and I visited your bakery last year with a family who has lived in Oakmont for a very long time (80 years I think).  They insisted that I go to the bakery before I left town! Well let me just say that I wish that I had gone on the first day and not the last because I would have been there every day!

Amy


From the moment the first telephone call was made to the bakery,  to placing the order, we had received excellent customer service.  When the bride to be called to make an appointment to discuss and have a cake testing and explained she was from the other side of the state, the staff accommodated her need for a date and time to meet with her when she would be in town.  The competition suggested stopping by and picking up some cake slices and make an appointment for another time. The staff provided superior service and much time on a busy Saturday evening to answer questions.  As I watched the regular customers being greeted and assisted, it seems this is the norm at Oakmont Bakery.  Thank you Oakmont Bakery for a wonderful experience, and that was before we tasted the sample cakes!  You won our hearts at "hello".

Diane


Dear Oakmont Bakers,

It is a very good thing for me that I live over half an hour away...Last Friday I ventured in to pick up my gourmet cinnamon rolls order and bought some of your cheese bread pizza with artichokes and tomatoes...WOW!!  and I picked up some garlic bread sticks...another WOW!!  Not to mention a couple of chocolate cream filled donuts found their way into my order.  It is very difficult not to buy at least one of everything while shopping in your bakery.
Granted if your products were not good I would tell you that also...But I have to keep telling you when everything is just SO!! Good!!
Thank you,
Judy


Hi, This is Judy the Polish Italian woman from Polish Hill. I bought your silly rabbit carrot cup cakes  last week and I am totally addicted to another one of your delicious, sinful, and I already talk too much so I will leave it at that...Keep up the great baking!
As Always,
Judy
