Carlo's Bakery

some ideas we liked and asked him if they could incorporate certain elements of each one into our cake design. We wanted a tree design to match the Pacific Northwest meets NYC vibe we were going for with our wedding decor, and they absolutely nailed it. So many guests commented on how it looked like a real tree! Better yet, it tasted amazing! We opted for vanilla and chocolate cake with Oreo French Cream, and it was absolutely delicious! If you're looking for a phenomenal baker, Carlo's Bakery is it! Thank you to James and all of the staff at Carlo's for bringing our cake vision to life and making it even better than we could have imagined!

tasting fillings and then having to pick one was the hardest part. The staff at Carlo's was very friendly and great to work with. The sample wedding cakes on display were all beautiful and very detailed. The same detail and quality went into our wedding cake and looks great in our photos. (And tasted great too!!) The desserts at our wedding were also supplied by Carlo's bakery and were also great tasting just like the wedding cake. Thank you Carlo's for a beautiful great tasting wedding cake which added to an amazing unforgettable day.

sary! Thanks to Carlo's Bakery we had the perfect cake for us.

no one fixed it. We were disappointed because we spent a lot of money on the cake and the presentation was subpar when it should/could have been amazing.

ever had.

delivered on time and was honestly the best wedding cake I have ever had! Would definitely recommend.

& absolutely delicious. We chose to have one of the hall cakes that was included in the package and it was so beautiful, they allowed us to alter it a little bit too. We even alternated the flavors of the cake on each layer. it was outstanding and so yummy! can't wait to eat it again on our one year anniversary!

urs! We had a three tier cake, so we ended up getting a different flavour for every tier. Every other wedding cake I've had was dry and flavourless, but our cake from Carlo's was AMAZING! It was moist and delicious, and it looked excellent!

mbre but what I got was mixed purple hues with a band of blue at the top. Also, I had asked for sugar flowers cascading down the cake and only barely got them thanks to the follow-up phone call before the wedding. Apparently this detail wasn't written down despite being discussed during the consultation. Overall, the cake tasted alright and it at least looked presentable. Just not what I would have paid for.

s are still talking about it. Thanks so much!

ce and they gave me exactly what I wanted.

filling because it was delicious!! Our guests loved the cake! At the consultation the staff was so nice, and we would highly recommend them to any bride, or anyone needing a cake for an occasion!

e had discussed. On the wedding night, the cake was very pretty but missing the topper of flowers we had ordered and there was a bump on the top of the fondant. The filling was also different than what we had tasted and wound up with much more icing than cake...not really my favorite. The guests liked it though. I guess they didn't know what it was supposed to be in the first place, so without a reference it was fine!

the complete opposite was true. Our cake was outstanding and all the guests raved about it. The staff was very patient, helpful, and organized and all the details of our cake came out exactly as planned! Very impressed and would definitely use them again!

er on a football field. People couldn't believe that it's edible. We picked different flavors for different layers, when we tasted the cake on the wedding day it was actually delicious.

We asked them to match the color of the flowers to the bridesmaid dresses and it perfect, despite the difficulty. Extremely impressed!

Recommend the chocolate with raspberry :D

ake, this is the bakery to choose. We've used them again for a friend's baby shower and got the cutest expecting mother cake. It was great too!

e way to Hoboken. I've not found any that can even resemble it. Since I'd failed to find anything even remotely resembling the red velvet I craved, I went to Hoboken the morning before my wedding to pick up a Red Velvet cake from the case. We didn't open the box until about 9pm the following day and the cake was absolutely amazing! So fresh, moist and delicious - just what I had wanted... I was nervous how it would hold up after a day and a half since it usually doesn't last me more than 5 hours when I get one - but it was just as good as fresh. We ate a slice every morning before we left for the day and every night when we returned for the next 4 or 5 days - still totally delicious. I don't have any experience with custom orders or official 'wedding cake' orders... but if you'd be happy with standard cakes from the display case to serve at your wedding - I think it's the way to go! I got a few other things while I was there, so not 100% sure on the price, but it was around $25 or less and easily served 12 really good sized pieces.

dy and the Mauro. The latter is, in person, like what you see on TV. Buddy is much more professional/friendly and less loud in person. He's a really nice guy, and this place is a great option for a delicious wedding cake.

Mauro gave us some good advice on the flavors and we were very happy about our decisions. A few weeks after our initial consultation, I decided that I wanted a surprise groom's cake for my husband (a terrible towel - he is a huge Steelers fan!). Everything was handled quickly and professionally by Angelo. Although, I had some difficulty paying for the cake (they were in the middle of moving locations), everything worked out. On the day of the wedding, my husband was so surprised by the cake and it looked AMAZING! It looked just like a terrible towel! All of the Pittsburgh fans there were so excited and everyone took a million pictures of the cake. Not only were our cakes beautiful but they were delicious. Not too sweet or heavy (we had the vanilla and chocolate with chocolate mousse and the chocolate cake with chocolate mousse). I was weary about using Carlo's originally knowing all of the publicity they have gotten recently but I suppose there is a reason that they are famous. The cakes were great!

ust like on thier tv show.

ke anything special. Scheduling our tasting was a pain and it was even more difficult pushing through the massive crowds to get to our appointment. But I have to say, the cake was probably the best I'd ever tasted. Fresh, moist and delicious. Even the fondant was tasty. I'm drooling thinking about it now and I can't believe I have to wait a whole year to eat the left overs!

wedding.

uro six months prior to make our selection and what a treat that was! The cupcakes were beautiful and very delicious. We highly recommend them.

oboken and often was popular among the locals before the show made them popular with the nation. We called 3 months in advanced for our cake tasting, I suggest calling more like 5 months before for this baker as they become book quickly. There was a line of which there was a 45 minute wait, which since we had an appointment we did not have to wait on. We were escorted into the bakery, quite the thing for someone who watches the show, and taken to meet with Mauro, on of the head bakers. They were very professional and very nice. We were offered coffee during our tasting and we were able to even bring my mother. We tasted 7 different kinds. It was amazing. And after we chose our design, they had a selection of about 10 and you can make edits to your cake for additional charges, they brought us downstairs and asked us if we would like anything from the bakery. We took this opportunity and everything we brought home was amazing. On the wedding day our cake looked perfect and it tasted just like it did the day we had it at the tasting. It was moist and delicious. The hard part is keeping the cake top that way for a year.
