Flavia D. Sent on 09/24/2021Tiramisu Wedding Cake
JoAnn at Hallmark Cakes is amazing! She hand crafted a tiramisu cake for our wedding and I kept having guests come up to us complimenting on the flavor, moisture, and pillowy texture of the cake. She is prompt, professional, and knowledgeable! We wanted a minimalist cake design and she made it perfect and classic. I know that tradition is to typically save part of the cake to enjoy with your spouse on your one year anniversary, however her cake is so delicious that I don't think my husband and I can wait! It is that good!Hallmark Cakes's reply:
Thank you Flavia. . . I loved being a part of your beautiful day! I'm so glad you and Kyle and your guests enjoyed your cake. Be happy! -

Beautiful and Delicious!
JoAnn's cakes are incredible. It was beautiful and delicious! We went with a pumpkin spice flavor for our fall wedding and it was incredible. JoAnn was so easy to work with and has years of experience. It was a pleasure to work with her and her cake was amazing! -

Fantastic experience
I highly recommend working with Hallmark cakes. Jo Ann was very flexible, responsive and easy to work with. Her pricing was very reasonable and the cake turned out to be perfect and delicious! Wedding planning in COVID was very stressful, but I can honestly say the cake was the only thing I did not have to stress over. She handled everything! We needed one layer to be gluten free and she offered a variety of flavors and was very allergy friendly. Overall, we had the cake of our dreams and it was delicious!Hallmark Cakes's reply:
Thank you so much Christina!! It was my honor to be a part of your magical day. Have a wonderful Christmas!! -

Highly recommend Hallmark Cakes. Jo Ann was so flexible with us, as we had to change our cake size based on guest count changes with Covid. We gave her a picture of what we wanted, and the cake looked EXACTLY like the picture. And it was delicious! Definitely plan to work with her again! -

Wonderful, flexible baker!
Jo Ann was fantastic from start to finish. We had to make multiple adjustments to get married during the COVID pandemic, and Jo Ann was responsive, understanding and quickly adjusted things as our needs changed. Our cake was beautiful, exactly what we wanted!! And we received tons of compliments on taste (The lemon raspberry is to die for)! I highly recommend Jo Ann to anyone in the area.Hallmark Cakes's reply:
Thank you so much Julie. . . I loved working with you both! I'm so glad you and your guests enjoyed your cake. Congratulations to you and Jeremy!! -

The guests said best wedding cake ever!
I am the father of the bride. My wife, daughter (bride) and I inquired about who to make a wedding cake for our daughter’s wedding in November 2019 in Blowing Rock, NC, and we received a high recommendation for a wedding cake prepared by Jo Ann Hallmark (Hallmark Cakes). We studied her designs and reviews and were convinced she was the perfect designer/baker for our daughter’s wedding cake. We communicated immediately with Jo Ann and she was extremely responsive and answered all of our many questions in a friendly and thorough manner. We set up an appointment for the bride and groom to have a cake tasting…and WOW! First Jo Ann was very efficient and patient. We loved her philosophy and approach—she said think of your favorite dessert and flavors, in whatever form (not just a traditional cake) and I can make that into a wedding cake. She also said “pick what you like, not what you think your guests will like”. With that in mind, the bride and groom told her of their favorite desserts—key lime pie, tiramisu, and rich chocolate. She gave them a sampling of her cakes and man…it was delicious! The best cake they had tasted! They decided on a four-tier cake, with two layers of key lime, one layer of tiramisu, and one of chocolate fudge with rich chocolate ganache. The wedding ceremony was outside with the North Carolina mountains as a backdrop. The cake design was beautiful and received so many compliments. But what was inside was even better—the cake flavors were fantastic, and it is a good thing I ordered a cake for 180 people (when the attendance was 110) because THERE WAS NO CAKE LEFT!!! People went back for additional cake in different flavors. The cake was truly one of the highlights of the wedding! In addition to the wedding cake, Jo Ann did the groom’s cake that was presented at the rehearsal dinner. It was likewise delicious and very little was left. Jo Ann was easy to work with to create a cake that represented the groom’s interests. It was perfect!!!! Jo Ann is the one to go to for a wedding cake in the Blowing Rock/Boone/Banner Elk and surrounding North Carolina area. She limits the number of cakes that she makes (from scratch) per weekend and they are not mass produced, homemade, and made with love! Thanks Jo Ann.Hallmark Cakes's reply:
Wow Steven! Thanks so much for your kind review! It was my great pleasure to work with you on such a special occasion. Please give my best to Elizabeth and Carlos, and congratulations to you all!! -

Simona Sent on 11/27/2019Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice
On October 12th, we had our dream mountain wedding! After reviewing numerous vendors we knew we hit the jackpot when we contacted Jo-An Hallmark. My husband and I did a cake tasting with her and we had to book her right there and then. She is so knowledgable and easy to work with! Such a pleasure! We chose a pumpkin spice cake with a chai ginger frosting and yes ... it was absolutely delicious! Seriously, do not look further! Hallmark Cakes is the way to go! :) -

Mitch Sent on 12/05/2018Incredibly talented and easy to work with.
Very creative, honest, talented. She listened to us in detail and did an incredible job creating our dream wedding cake. There is no one else like her in the High Country of NC. -
Taylor Sent on 07/30/2018I am biased about Jo Ann because I have known her my whole life, but I cannot even say how blown away I was by the gorgeous four-tiered cake she made for my wedding. Each layer was a different, creative, delicious delight. I sent her a photograph of how I wanted the exterior to be decorated and she replicated it almost exactly, except BETTER! It was just amazing to walk into my reception and see the most beautiful cake ever. I am still receiving compliments on both the look of it and how incredibly delicious it was. Thank you so much, Jo Ann!!!!

15D834B328Bb637Eeef49B6624774Bded566B659 Sent on 11/05/2017Jo Ann Hallmark was fantastic to work with. She made our groom’s cake as well as our wedding cake. The cakes tasted amazing! We had a ton of different flavors and she worked with us on everything. We had red velvet cake with cream cheese icing for the groom’s cake and our wedding cake consisted of: vanilla cake with strawberry and cheesecake filling, chocolate torte with mocha filling, and vanilla tiramisu filling all with buttercream icing. We had so many compliments on all of the flavors. We left flowers for her to decorate the cake with and it was absolutely stunning. Highly recommended from me and the hubs!

Ariel Sent on 07/21/2017Our wedding cake was PERFECT! Jo Ann was such a delight to work with; I think the hardest part was picking the cake flavors because she can pretty much make any flavor you can imagine. My wedding was a destination wedding, so planning things can be hard, but Jo Ann was so responsive and attentive. We had a 3 tier cake and went with a Chai Spice Cake, a Regular Vanilla and a Creme Brulee which we had so many great compliments on! All in all, it looked and tasted absolutely amazing!

User1919951 Sent on 11/13/2014I contacted Jo Ann about 11 days before our wedding, when my friend/cake vendor unexpectedly backed out. Jo Ann emailed me back within an hour of my initial inquiry, and after asking a few questions, agreed to make my cake. With less than 2 weeks notice!! I think that speaks volumes as to the type of professional she is. She was pleasant and prompt with her correspondence, and the cake was delicious! I can't thank her enough for making sure that I didn't go without a wedding cake at my reception!
