Reviews of Midnight Sun Cakery (Bakery)

Anthony Elwell

I got a last minute chocolate cake for my wife's birthday! The price was great, the cake looked amazing, and it tasted better then it looked. Anita is super friendly and awesome to talk to. We will definitely be repeat customers.

Anita is AMAZING. Not only did she do a personalized tasting, complete with a pricing guide, but she sat down with my husband and I and sketched out our own design for the cake. Communication with her was efficient and every part of the process was well organized. The cake was absolutely delicious and everyone who had a piece was amazed. It was flavorful, moist, and beautiful. Worth every penny and then some. We will be going to her for all of our cake needs from now on. She is with out a doubt the best in town!

This bakery created the MOST AMAZING wedding cake I’ve ever seen! It tasted so good and the detail she put into it was just unbelievable. My family from out of town keeps asking when she’s going to move to the east coast so they can eat more of her pastries. Small local bakery that has so many yummy flavors to choose from, I didn’t even know where to start! The staff was very knowledgeable on helping me narrow down my choices till we found the one. I can’t wait for the next special occasion to order another cake!

Exceptional design and flavor.

We got a dessert bar for our wedding which included enough desserts for 150 people (I believe that’s what was advertised, I can’t remember the exact number but I know it was more than our expected guest count of about 110). I love cakes so I was excited for the leftovers, but the desserts were so good that there was not a bite left and the end. Luckily my mom saved the top layer for our anniversary, and I’m so glad she did! It has now been one year since our wedding and we took out the year old cake and I can’t believe how amazing it still is! Ive had cakes from this bakery a few times aside from my wedding, and they are always incredible. A wedding cake was always what I looked forward to most at my wedding, and I was not disappointed! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I ordered a personal sized cake for my birthday. For the last two years I haven't had cake at all because I developed Celiac Disease, the one where you can't eat gluten, so I just decided it wasn't worth the trauma of getting sick. Yes, there are gluten free box mixes, but they're all terrible. I was so happy to have Midnight Sun Cakery make my birthday cake this year. It was a gluten free lemon cake with raspberry filling and a chocolate ganache for the frosting. Every bite was a bit of heaven, and the best part was, i didn't get sick afterwards. If you're looking for a delicious gluten free cake, this is place to go.

I ordered a last minute chocolate cake for my husbands birthday. It was scrumptious! Hands down the best chocolate cake I've ever had. The owner was courteous, professional and had the cake ready at my requested day and time. I couldn't ask for more. Thank you for such a delicious treat. I'll make sure to recommend you to my friends and family. I know for sure I will be back for more!

Anita is the greatest baker on earth. She did both my rehearsal dinner and wedding cake - both were stunningly beautiful and delicious!! I cannot rave about her service and baking enough, I will most definitely be using her for every event (big or small) in the future. I look for reasons to order to cake! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Katharine DeBano

Best cakes in Alaska, seriously! I use them for every occasion and will continue to recommend them to anyone and everyone!

Isabelle Urbina-Curtis

Called everyday for a week. At different times. Never got to talk to someone. No one bothered to pick up the phone. Disappointed.

They had made a cake for my father's retirement, i had no idea how structurally amazing a cake formed into a cargo plane would be. The color was spot on and the cake was audibly spoken about at the party. We had a great variety of people there and not a bad word to be said. Years later Anita, the owner, even recalled my family and recalled their patronage. Small outfit, but big effort into each cake. It's expensive because she hand makes it all and honestly will work through the night to make it happen.

They lost or just didn't look at the form I sent. After sending them a photo of the cake I liked; they quoted me $100. The cake I got was a cheap version, and not very artful at all - Costco could have done as well. I take part of the blame - I should have realized they weren't organized; there were clues. I also didn't insist exactly on what the picture showed. They did offer a reduced price. But I gave them the $100 anyway - they are gong to need it.

Worked to get me what I wanted in one afternoon. Great service!

Krista Scott

The first time I had Anita’s cake was for a friends wedding. I literally dreamed about it a few days after and have ordered it for every occasion since. I just got my husband’s birthday cake and some Valentine’s cupcakes. Amazing as always! Half a cake gone on in two days... and we haven’t shared...Yikes... :D

I was told they could not accomplish a last minute cake (as advertised) ordered two days in advance which shows this is more a hobby for these people instead of an actual business, I was better off going to a professional establishment that was more accurate in their advertisement and less expense. Beware of overpriced hobbyist playing with moms’ pots and pans…

I don't really like cupcakes. However, I've tried the ones from here and they are fantastic. Makes me almost want like cupcakes now.

Laura Warner

I went to see Anita with a very vague idea of what I wanted for a cake and she gave amazing suggestions and really understood what I was going for. The cake tasted absolutely incredible and we had 4 different kinds of cupcakes that were equally as great. She did an amazing job setting the cake/cupcakes up for us and made the process quick and easy. She was also very willing to help us accommodate a dairy allergy so everyone could enjoy the cake! It was an amazing experience working with Anita and I would definitely do it again.

Tosha Stewart

She quickly had my order ready in 5 mins, and they were fantastic!!

Gabriel Holland

My wife and I had a complicated order of three very different small cakes for our wedding. I must say, they were AMAZING! The taste alone is better than anything you could ever buy from Costco or even get at a fancy restaurant. They were made better than what we had asked for with cute top and side decorations. They gave us a free tasting, had all the details in order, and went over the top to make our cake pretty unforgettable. Not to mention, everyone loved it. I can't wait until we have an excuse to get another one of her cakes!

Shelly Morgan

After trying every carrot cake in town, we decided Midnight Sun had by far the Best carrot cake in Southcentral AK! Her fillings during our tasting were amazing, the carrot cake was incredible and our wedding cake was gorgeous! She drove it out to our wedding site and decorated it with flowers exactly as requested! Only place to go for custom cakes!!!

About 6 months prior to our June 2016 wedding, my mom and I met with Anita at Midnight Sun Cakery for a cake tasting consultation. Not only was our meeting with Anita very professional and a lot of fun but we also both left the meeting talking about how it was the BEST cake we had ever had! The consistency was perfection. We got a 4 tier cake (each tier a different flavor) and an extra sheet cake to ensure we had more pieces of cake than guests and there was not a single piece of cake left over! All our guests raved about how delicious it was. Aside from the cake tasting phenomenal, it was also impressive in its presentation - very pretty! I definitely recommend Midnight Sun Cakery to anyone looking for a tasty and beautiful cake for any type of event. I know my wedding will not be the last time I indulge in that goodness! Big thanks to the team at Midnight Sun Cakery!

Anita baked the amazingly delicious and beautiful cakes we had at our wedding (photo with the sign that says almond euphoria). Everything about working with Anita from the initial contact to tasting to ordering to nearly last minute changes we requested was handled smoothly. The final product was absolutely outstanding; we had a relatively small wedding cake and 4 beautiful side cakes in order to provide 3 different flavors to our guests. The cakes were promptly delivered to our wedding location an hour from Anchorage and perfectly displayed on stands that Anita can provide. Our guests raved about all of the cakes, but especially about the almond joy, which we took the liberty of renaming Almond Euphoria to properly do it justice. Anita does beautiful work that tastes wonderful and goes far beyond the usual boring wedding cake flavor combinations. This is who you want creating and baking for your Anchorage-area wedding. The shop also does cakes for all occasions and they also do certain flavors in a less complicated (but still pretty if less personalized) design on very short notice.

They are the best !! We always order our cake through them and they're so thoughtful and giving, they are one of our biggest donors and sponsors. We appreciate all their hard work :) The designs are on point, but the flavors of each cake makes your mouth drool, it's mind-blowing and phenomenal.

Our cake for our wedding was amazing both in decoration and taste. It’s been a month since the wedding and we still have people raving about the cake. Anita was great to work and put together a cake just as we envisioned. I would highly recommend Midnight Sun Cakery to anyone looking for a special cake.

Melanie Desmond

Worth every penny! We couldn't be happier with the way our wedding cake turned out. It was both beautiful and yummy, what a find! Thank you Anita!

It was the most awesome Star Wars cake ever. Anita, the Baker is very nice and creative.

Whitney Velez

Anita's cakes are so to die for! They literally make tears come out of my eyes as I eat them because they are so delicious! The first time I tried one of her cake's at a friend's wedding, I knew Midnight Sun Cakery was my wedding cake choice. She did end up making my wedding cake, and everyone still talks about how amazing it looked and tasted. I always look forward to eating cakes made by Anita. I recommend her to everyone that is looking for a wedding cake, birthday cake, or a cake for any occasion! She'll always leave your taste buds happy.
