Bartleby's Homemade Ice Cream

“Some people first thought I was nuts when I said I wanted ice cream cake at my wedding. But man, am I glad I did and went with Bartleby's! Why go the traditional route when you can have ice cream instead? Rachel and team were so easy to work with. I went pretty crazy on the flavors because there were so many good options. The guests absolutely loved it and said the cake was genius! Rachel also gives great tips so we didn't have any problems with it melting before it was given to our guests, and there are plenty of options for guests with dietary restrictions. If I could do it all over, I would eat more of the ice cream cake - hah!”

“Having Milk Bar provide cakes and desserts for our Wedding was one of the best decisions we made in our planning. We've always been a huge fan of Milk Bar, some may even say obsessed, so it was only natural for us to include their treats on our special day. Juliet was our main point of contact for our order and was so easy and pleasant to work with. She provided such thorough and efficient information that helped us place our order with ease. She was in constant communication with us from order to delivery. We had the order delivered to our home prior to the event and everything was packaged so carefully and kept cool! We only had one issue with our order, we received a regular Birthday cake vs. a Gluten Free cake, but Juliet was quick to respond and help us resolve the issue! All the treats and cakes were a hit during the wedding and EVERY SINGLE piece was enjoyed by our guests!! No one could resist! I would absolutely recommend working with Juliet and Milk Bar for any orders big or small. Thank you for making our wedding day so special. :)”

I reached out to Delish Cakes to do my wedding cake and loved that we we were able to do a tasting (you take a container home to sample different a few flavored cakes, frostings & fillings), although it was not free. Communication usually was not an issue. We were very happy with how our wedding cake turned out & are excited to have more for our 1st anniversary.”

We heard so many compliments throughout the night—people loved the elegant, simple design, and the cake disappeared almost as soon as it was cut. The flavors were fantastic: the red velvet with chocolate mousse was a hit, and the lemon with strawberry was bright and fresh. She also made sure our guests with dietary restrictions had gluten‑free options, which we really appreciated. Working with Mariam was a joy. She took the time to understand our vision, offered thoughtful guidance, and delivered something even better than we imagined. We couldn’t have been happier and would recommend her wholeheartedly.”
