Julie was a delight to work with and the cake turned out absolutely amazing. She was so helpful in offering so many different options to make a cake that would fit our budget. Very easy going and friendly which is extremely important when dealing with the stress of planning a wedding. My advice, DO NOT put up with bakers who do not show you that your business is a priority to them. Julie demonstrated to me right away that she wanted our business but was not pushy. Highly recommend her and can't wait to have more of her edible delights!

We truly had the most beautiful and amazingly delicious wedding cake! Julie has such a gift and we are so thankful for her. We met her at the wedding show at the Greensboro Coliseum and fell in love with her and her cakes! We did do tastings at several bakeries in the area but hands down, Simply Scrumptious is the best!! We loved that she uses organic butter and real ingredients. Once you taste a cake made like this, you will never go back! If all vendors were like Julie, wedding planning would be a breeze:) We are looking forward to ordering a little carrot cake and chocolate truffles for Valentine's Day from her! Thanks again Julie...you are the best:)

Julie was fantastic! We ordered one of her carrot cakes for our wedding, but with a few alterations (though with all her incredible choices, it was a little tempting to deviate from the plan), and every single request was received with a friendly "no problem!" I had a simple, but pretty specific idea of how I wanted the cake to look, and she totally nailed it. Her communication was great, she was always prompt about getting in touch, and she worked very closely with us to create exactly what we wanted. A few days before the wedding I asked if she could make a separate miniature egg-free cake to accommodate one guest's allergies, and it was at the reception waiting for us (I'm told it was wonderful). We're still receiving compliments on our wedding cake; I've heard more than once, "that was the best carrot cake I've ever had," and even "the best wedding cake I've ever had" (You don't typically expect carrot cake to be such a hit). A number of our guests have asked us for her info; one called me because she had an occasion coming up and was so impressed with our cake that she wanted to get the exact same one.
She also did two groom's cakes (coconut and chocolate butter cream) for our rehearsal dinner, and those were phenomenal as well. My husband is a guitarist, so both cakes had fondant guitars with sheet music. I literally gave her song ideas the day of the dinner, and that night the cakes were ready for us at the restaurant (and the sheet music wasn't just some notes randomly drawn on some horizontal lines; she actually looked up the songs and had the correct musical notation!)
I tried to go local as much as possible when putting this wedding together, so that was another big point in Julie's favor, but honestly, even without the local ingredient aspect, she'd still have 5 out of 5 stars! I really can't recommend Simply Scrumptious enough, thank you so much Julie!

Julie was so accomodating during our wedding planning. We were from out of town and would call her with just a few days notice and she was always willing to meet us. She gave us generous samples of all the flavors and was willing to give her opinion on which flavors complemented each other, which would be best with buttercream or fondant, etc. I found her to be very honest about her capabilities with what I was asking for. Additionally, she found us a cake plate to match a special handmade caketopper and bring everything together. Julie really went above and beyond and I can not recommend her enough. The cake got lots of compliments at the wedding, for its beauty and taste. After being frozen for 2 weeks in just a cardboard box while we were on our honeymoon it still tasted great! If you have the opportunity also get a dozen of her truffles. They are to die for!

This is a wonderful vendor to use for your wedding cakes! Her cupcakes and cakes are beautiful and taste as good as they look! She responded to my emails and phone calls quickly (especially after my first wedding cake vendor left me hanging out to dry). She is very helpful in finding what you like and meeting your requests! She is also very friendly and actually cares about your wedding. I really felt like my husband and I were the only wedding she was baking a cake for! I would recommend her to anyone!!!!

Julie at Simply Scrumptious is amazing! Her cakes are delicious and her flavors go beyond the typical vanilla or chocolate. I cannot count the number of compliments I received at and after my wedding from guests on the unique, delicious flavors and the beautiful display. Julie is quick to respond to emails and calls and is willing to help in whatever way she can to make your cake perfect. She keeps in touch throughout the planning process to talk and confirm details with the cake. I highly recommend her, as her cakes are phenomenal and her customer service is exceptional! I look forward to using Julie for many other events that I need cake or cupcakes for!

My wedding cake plans fell through 1 and 1/2 months prior to the wedding. I then recalled the most delicious cake me and my wife-to-be had ever eaten. It was a chocolate cake with a delicious caramel buttercream with toffee bit and caramel drizzle that me and my fiance (now wife!) ate at Beyu Caffe in downtown Durham about a year and half before our wedding. We were told by the owner that it was made from all local and organic ingredients by an amazing baker in Greensboro, so needless to say, I always assumed this caliber of cake would be out of our price range.
Back to my wedding cake plans falling through....I did research online after we reminisced about this chocolate caramel cake and became determined to have it at our wedding. After about 3 hours of random googling of "Greensboro bake", "local ingredients", and "chocolate caramel" I finally found Julie Watson's website. It was 10pm, but I didn't hesitate to call her right then. She answered and was much obliged to do a cake tasting. After 2 delicious cake tasting (we decided we wanted 2 cakes instead of just one) and a convenient meeting in Durham, we decided on a vanilla cake with fresh local strawberries and the best vanilla buttercream I've ever tasted and, of course, the chocolate caramel cake. The two cakes were a hit. They looked beautiful and tasted even better. All the way leading up to our wedding Julie texted with me and took my calls to finalize pick up and all other details. I can't get over how helpful and hospitable she is, on top of being an excellent cake baker and pastry chef. I am the toughest of critics, but I was 100% happy and pleased with my experience with Julie Watson at Simply Scrumptious. I would recommend anyone within 100 miles of Greensboro (or more! I was 65 miles away) to use her services. She is worth it as her cakes are far superior to the competition and your guests will actually love you wedding cake.

As an older Bride, I have tasted a lot of wedding cakes. The cake we chose at Simply Scrumptious was the most beautiful and delicious cake I have ever seen or tasted at a wedding. My friends from all over are still talking about it!!! It was scrumptiously decadent. The cakes beauty and taste was only exceeded by the owner's professionalism. She over delivered and held to your every promise. She made a potentially stressful situation, relaxed and calm. I would unequivocally recommend Julie Watson and Simply Scrumptious to anyone!!!!

Simply Scrumptious not only made the wedding cake for our oldest daughter's wedding, she made the cake and the truffles (favors for guests) for our youngest daughter's wedding! Obviously we LOVE Simply Scrumptious! Julie Watson's cakes are "to die for" and are absolutely beautiful. Both daughters found pictures of cakes they liked and then tweaked them a bit to fit their styles...Julie made them perfectly! Julie is both professional and personable when dealing with clients. Trust me, you can not go wrong with Simply Scrumptious. Since we don't have the need for more wedding cakes, we will be calling on Julie for birthday cakes, anniversary cakes, baby shower cakes, "just because" cakes...

I have known Julie for a while now, all the way back to her pastry school days, and when I became engaged I knew who I wanted to make our cakes! We are in Charleston, SC and despite the distance we were able to meet up for a tasting mid-way between here & Greensboro. We communicated via e-mail/phone and she is very flexible. She also makes GREAT toffee cookies! Wish she wasn't so far away from us!

Julie was great to work with and her cakes are AMAZING! I especially love the coconut and the vanilla with raspberry! She offered a tasting of several little cakes- the presentation was impressive and it was difficult to chose which flavors because they were all so good! My husband and I would recommend her services to anyone looking for the PERFECT wedding cake at a great price.

If you're interested in a wedding cake that actually tastes good, you HAVE to contact Simply Scrumptious! They have so many great flavors and fillings to choose from; this is BY FAR the most delicious cake I've ever had.

Simply Scrumptious provided an excellent quality cake that was absolutely beautiful. She woked amazing with our schedules and was prompt on every phone call. The price was very much in range and affordable for the high standard of the cake. We loved our experience and would reccomend her to anyone. Several people actually asked for her number after trying the cake. I t was overall a great experience.
