Reviews Summary
Iversens Bakery is a long-standing favorite, celebrated for its exceptionally delicious and beautifully designed custom cakes and cupcakes. Many customers highlight the unique strawberry torte and the quality of the frosting. While most reviews are glowing, a recent review noted a perceived decline in quality and value for a specific cake compared to previous years.
"Iverson's cake and cherry cheesecake were phenomenal! The staff was the best. Friendly, well-spoken, caring, helpful. Very clean inside.
The cherry cheesecake was not too thick. I am happy about that. If cheesecake is too tall, it can be rich and overwhelming. Not too rich or nor a failure on taste. Cherries were delicious. Soft texture, light buttercream piped around the ages.
The cake was delicious and the cupcakes too. The cake was fresh tasting that I purchased in the showcase. I love the white chocolate drizzle over the top of the cake. The fruit center was also airy, fluffy texture, and not too sweet. The frosting on the cupcakes was divine. Each different flavor was well worth the trip. Cakes were all soft and fresh. I really do like the frosting. It is light buttercream. Not too sweet. I had a cannoli, and even that was fresh and delicious. I can not wait to get more stuff from here in the upcoming months.
Parking in the front can be a little squirrelly due to parking next to curb on Outer Drive. There may be parking in the back, but I can not say for sure. In the front, when you try to park, be patient. They try to get their customers in and out so it isn't too hard to find parking but some days it is full and some days it is empty.
Do not second guess your trip to come. Just go. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Iverson's!"

"We ordered a custom cake for my son's 3rd birthday and it was so beautiful and unique! I had some many guests come up to me and comment on how good it was or ask where I got it. Would highly recommend this bakery - their cakes impress!"

"Rhonda was AMAZING to work with at Iversens Bakery! She helped create our perfect wedding cake that was absolutely delicious, our wedding was over a month ago and we are still getting compliments about the cake. While planning our wedding, my husband and I met with several bakeries in the area which were all good but Iversens was the clear choice and we are so happy with our decision. Not only did it taste great but the design was better than what I could have imagined. I emailed a couple design examples but explained I didn't love any of them so Rhonda took parts of each one and designed our perfect cake. Thank you for being part of making our day so unforgettable!"
