Jonathan and I couldn’t resist featuring the fabulous bakery that will create an extraordinarily delicious wedding cake for our guests!

We wanted to find a cake with an unforgettably delightful flavor and a gracious appearance. While we had fun sampling cakes at several bakeries, the proverbial violins did not start playing until we set foot in Portsmouth’s Ceres Bakery. One bite of cake and we knew this was “The Bakery.” Let’s just say that it was one of the best pieces of cake Jonathan and I have ever had – anywhere in the world!

Ceres Bakery is a local treasure that’s slightly off the beaten path. It’s on a side street near Market Square and attracts an artistic crowd hailing from New Hampshire and Maine. The creative decor and laid-back counter service add to the bakery’s ambiance.
