Simply delicious. The cake was beautiful and the price was great. I looked at several other bakers & everyone else was charging much more.
Faith
Wedding: 3/10/12
My name is Faith and I got married March 10th 2012. I have to say that I am not a avid reviewer, but in this case i felt it necessary as I can't show enough gratitude to "For Heavens Cake" especially the Owner Rick and his Wife. I am from Houston but Live in London with my English Husband. Living in England has left me stranded in the wedding Vendor Department. Booking a wedding is hard enough, but try doing it thousands of miles away! I never read any reviews from this Bakery beforehand, I just stumbled on it through theknot.com. I found their website was incredibly helpful and Ricks Response was almost instant. You would be surprised how many Cake Websites do not even list flavors on their websites. After weeks of blind searching online I booked a ticket to Houston to meet with 4 of the leading Cake Bakers in Houston. No where did I get the service that Rick gave me. He used to do Graphic Design so he was very helpful in my cake. I wanted a three tier cake that had the silhouette of the Houston Skyline, and London Skyline. When I showed him my sketches he noticed that the Houston one was outdated! ATTENTION TO DETAIL!!!!
Right then I knew he was the only man for the job. I put my complete trust in Rick and his wife. The Cake was delivered on time and the price was fair! They do everything by themselves so no worrying that a sub vendor might get lost or drop your cake! I absolutely cried when I saw my cake. He made what could have been easily been made to look like a children's Birthday cake into a Elegant piece of art art for my wedding!
I believe all these bad reviews are just written by Bridezillas! I asked Rick about them and he had no problem explaining each and every problem and how it was rectified.
The Taste! Oh My Goodness I'm not even a fan of cake and I could not stop eating it! We had Top Tier Amaretto with Amaretto Icing. 2nd Tier Butter Cake with Cheesecake Frosting, Bottom Tier. Bridal White with Cream Cheese Icing. The Amaretto did not stand a chance that was the first to go, along with the Cheesecake. We ordered way to much and I had the idea to put to go boxes on the cake stand. WHAT A GOOD IDEA! Every Guest took home 5-6 slices!! At the Morning after breakfast everyone skipped the bacon and eggs and went straight for the Cake!!! My Husband ate 5 Slices before 11am! Another Must know about this bakery is that the Fondant is made by Rick. and OH MY GOODNESS It's the first time I have liked Fondant! It taste like buttercream. No one peeled it off! He is also amazing at making buttercream look like Fondant! It was soooo smooth you could never tell it was buttercream!
Brides,
I'm leaving some not so good reviews for other vendors but I can not in good conscience say one bad thing about this bakery. The showroom is beautiful, the cakes are amazing, the price is fair and the Owners are kind. Rick will pull over in his truck to talk to you when you are having a Freak out!
5 Stars out of 5!

As with all of our vendors, we invested significant effort in selecting our wedding cake for our big day. We poured through reviews, narrowed the field down to 3 shops, and went on a mission to taste as much of their cakes as possible. Without hesitation, we hired For Heaven's Cake for their personal attention to our needs, their reasonably priced options, their creativity in customizing cakes to reflect our personality, and finally for the taste/freshness of their cake. As expected, Rick & Ana of For Heaven's Cake did not disappoint! The cake showed up at the venue right on time, looked spectacular and tasted even better! We wholeheartedly recommend them!

Amazing, amazing, amazing...and did I say amazing? Our cakes were beautiful, fresh, and done exactly to our specifications. Meeting with the vendor was super easy, and convenient since we live close by.
At our initial tasting, they had several samples available to try, and we were able to choose the one we liked the most. My husband was also able to select a groom's cake design that TOTALLY reflected his personality.
On the day of the wedding, when we had our first bite of cake, we both were so pleased at the quality of the cakes. They tasted even better than our initial tasting!
Kudos to both Rick and Ana, and we would not hesitate to use their services in the future!

We ordered 8 2-tiered cakes to be used as the centerpieces for each of our tables. We designed the cakes ourselves and they delivered the cakes and set them up to our specifications. Not only were they exactly what we envisioned but the taste was beyond delicious! It was a pleasure working with them and they were very accommodating!

For Heavens Cake did our grooms cake for our wedding in October and it came out GREAT! I wanted to surprise my husband with a TN Titans helmet cake and it seriously looked EXACTLY like the helmet. It was SO realistic and the cake... omg the cake was top notch. They were very polite, had no issues at all, very organized and very talented. Recommend to everyone! A+!!

For Heavens Cake was wonderful. THey called, set up a meeting, we met with them and picked out a cake and was DONE!! This was by far the easiest vendor we met with throughout the entire wedding process. I had so many compliments on how wonderful not only the way it looked but how good they were! I had many pictures taken of the grooms cake becuase it was a ice chest with a trout hanging out! Everyone got a kick out of that since my husband is a big fisher. I just want to thank For Heavens Cake for making my cake decisions so easy. They gave us exactly what we wanted and they were at the venue looking un-touched! Would def. recommend them to ANYONE!!! Thanks again!!

Rick Ballard was so easy to work with and was one of my favorite vendors for my daughter's wedding this past June. Rick traveled to a location in our area of town to discuss cake details. He brought samples for us to taste. He made notes of details that we requested on the cake. His prices are budget friendly. He would quickly respond to all of my emails and the cake arrived in time and looked beautiful and tasted wonderful. What more can you ask for!

Overall they did a good job for me. they gave me what i asked for using only my ideas and my requests and a pic of my wedding dress. they did the best they could with what i gave them. i should have been given some feedback on the final touches of my cake...But the Groom's cake was fabulous!! My husband wanted a 1965 mustang gt red with stripes. and that's what he got!!! Great job.

We won a two tiered cake at a bridal show. They were so friendly and attentive to our wants, even though we did not have to pay for the cake. To our pleasant surprise, the cake tasted delicious and showed creativity for the Alice and Wonderland feel we wanted. Thank you again!

For Heaven's cakes was amazing, My fiance and I canceled an order with our original baker because of unprofessionalism. I contacted Rick when I found him on the knot and and he gave me a quote through email on what I descrided to him I wanted. My Husband and I made an appointment to meet with Rick at his store front location and were amazed by the cake displays as soon as we walked in. Rick was amazing we got taste tests on flavors that we requested. I decided to switch the cake I wanted and brought him a picture of the groom cake and the Wedding cake. I chose a 3 tier wedding cake with the bottom tier being chocolate with FRESH strawberry filling and the top 2 teirs being white cake with a rasberry filling. the grooms cake had extreme detail and was a red velvet cake with cream cheese filling and chocolate icing.
When the cakes were delivered to the reception, my bridesmaids went and took a picture of them for me to see, they were perfect they matched the picture exactly to the tuxedo chocolate covered strawberries on the Groom's cake.
Everyone was dying to taste the cakes when they saw them. The flavors were amazing!!!! the chocolate with fresh strawberry filling was absolutely to die for!! Rick did an amazing job.
I was completely and totaly impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of For Heaven's Cakes. I recieved gourmet cakes for my wedding at reasonable prices. If you want good cake at a good price and the quality to go along with that then i suggest you use For Heaven's Cakes they were amazing!!
