We used chimirri’s for our wedding cake and it was AMAZING!!! It was a beautiful cake and it was so delicious. We were able to do a free home tasting of all the flavors which was so easy to set up and schedule. We chose the vanilla cake with the raspberry mousse filling. So many of our guests approached us during the wedding to tell us how delicious the cake was. Multiple people asked for second pieces!! I’m so happy we chose chimirris for our wedding day!
To say that Chimirri’s went above and beyond would be an understatement! My wife and I knew what we wanted for a cake, we tried several bakeries before coming to Chimirri’s and they just blew everyone else out of the water! From the design down to the flavor, the cake was absolutely stunning and we received so many lovely comments from our guests about how beautiful the cake was! I highly recommend Chimirri’s!
Chimirri's made the most beautiful wedding cake. My jaw dropped when I saw it at the ceremony. Not only was it beautiful, but it was also delicious. We got alternating layers of chocolate and white cake with raspberry mouse, it was perfect! The whole process was so easy and the cake tasting was delicious and thorough!
I have never heard guests at a wedding rave about a cake as much as they did at ours. People could not stop talking about how delicious our cannoli-flavored cake was. We wanted a tiered vintage-inspired cake and Lorena delivered the most beautiful and classic cake at a fair price. Chimirri's was easy to work with and communicative. The only downside is that they were unable to deliver our cake, but we hired a morning-of coordinator who was able to pick it up and bring it to our venue in New Haven so it worked out fine for us, but something to inquire about when you call. We would highly recommend getting your wedding cake from Chimirri's!
Our wedding cake was DELICIOUS and beautiful. Lorena is easy to work with and organized. We went with the marble bavarian cream filling cake, and oh my goodness sooo good!! I would recommend this place to anyone!
My wedding cake was not only beautiful, but it was so tasty! I am not someone who typically likes wedding cake, but as soon as I tried the cake samples I knew this bakery was different. I got a four tiered marble cake with vanilla buttercream frosting with layers of chocolate and vanilla mousse. It was moist, decadent, and a perfect frosting to cake ratio. All of my guests were raving about how delicious it was! I will definitely be visiting again!
We were able to get our Chimirri’s wedding cake through Saint Clements Castle and we are SO grateful that was the case. The ease of that partnership made our wedding day seamless. We worked with Lorena to set up a time to get our tasting box to take home and worked with her to achieve the cake of our dreams! We loved being able to take the tasting box home. There was no pressure and we were able to share it with our family. We went with the Chocolate Mousse and Cannoli cakes for different layers. Both were outstanding and everyone is still raving about our cake! Lorena was easy to communicate with and was responsive to emails. On the day of our wedding, our wedding cake was everything we dreamed of! Thank you for making our day a dream come true!
Lorena was so easy to work with! She was so prompt to answer any questions that we had. The sampler box she made for us when we were deciding flavors made it really hard to chose—her cakes are that delicious. The three tiered cake she made for our wedding day was stunning. She nailed the minimal design we wanted. Our guests also raved about the cake (we chose the vanilla with vanilla mousse). Highly recommend working with her.
Chimirri's did a wonderful job with our wedding cake! It was elegant and tasted great. The bakery was also very easy to communicate with and they gave us the time we needed to make decisions with flavors. Thank you!
We loved our cake! It was delicious and the design was exactly as we pictured it.
Our cake was stunning!! They allowed us to add personal touches to our cake and really went above and beyond to ensure our vision was brought to life and the cake tasted amazing everyone loved it and I ate 2 pieces myself! Highly recommend!
Absolutely delicious! Our wedding cake was beautiful :) We loved that we had an opportunity to go for a tasting at the shop and speak with the owner. We were very happy with our experience working with them for our wedding.
Amazing job! Tasted so yummy as well. Not one complaint. I highly recommend
BEST WEDDING CAKE EVER!!!
Not only was our cake absolutely breathtaking to look at, it tasted even better!! We went with the cannoli cake and we cannot tell you how many compliments we received on our cake. Very rarely to people leave the dance floor in the middle of the night but all of our guests did to eat their cake.
This is your wedding cake spot!!!!
We were so happy with our wedding cake from Chimirri's. It was beautiful and delicious. Everyone we spoke to at the bakery was so accommodating with our many plan changes, and guest count changes because of the virus. The delivery of the cake on our day was on time and carefully executed. They helped to make our day worry free and beautiful. I highly recommend doing the cake tasting where they allow you to try all of their delicious options, and let you view an extensive photo album of all the cake decoration and patterns they have done in the past. The design on our cake was so detailed and lovely. We couldn't be happier with how it turned out.
Best wedding cake ever. We chose the cannoli and the chocolate cream--can't decide which we liked more! Go in for the bridal tasting and you will be SOLD! They understood our vision and executed it beautifully. Everyone asked for a second piece!
Our cake was beautiful and delicious! It was great to have multiple flavors available!
We had our wedding at saint clement’s castle and chimirris cakes are included in the package. Our cake tasting was so easy. We chose a simple white cake with chocolate moose. The cake looked beautiful at our wedding and besides the cake tasting, we did not even have to think about the cake. Just one less thing to worry about in our wedding planning.
We had our wedding cake made here and it was soo good. Marble cake with chocolate mousse very classic but delicious..the decorations was beautiful. Perfect cake. Thank you Lorena..
People keep telling us that this was the best wedding cake they ever had. We got the cannoli cake and it looked beautiful and tasted amazing . I would definitely recommend using Chimirri’s and plan to use them again for other events.
Part of having our wedding at Aria included having cake from one of three bakeries in Connecticut. Once we tried Chimirri's Cannoli Cake, we knew that was the one! It was delicious!!! Best cannoli cake I've ever had! When we went to Chimirri's, we did a cake tasting (they were all so yummy) and we picked out the shape and design. Lorena was very pleasant and attentive. She called us a week before the wedding to check in with us about anything.
We brought our parents (with very different tastes) to the cake tasting at Chimirri’s and all 6 of us agreed on the marble cake with Bavarian cream filling. Once everyone agreed on this flavor we knew it was the one. Since we had a bigger wedding we were able to choose different flavors for each tier of our cake, but we ended up choosing marble cake with different fillings (Bavarian cream, chocolate pudding, chocolate mousse).
Not only did the cake look perfect on our wedding day, but all of our guests were raving about how great it tasted. The buttercream frosting was the perfect texture and sweetness, and the cake itself was exquisite! If we (well, maybe just me) could eat that wedding cake everyday for the rest of my life, I’d be the happiest person in the world. Thank you, Chimirri’s, for the amazing cake!
Amazing service!! Our cake was legit picture perfect! Guests could not stop raving about how delicious our cake was. We live local to the bakery and will be returning customers!
Our wedding cake was beautiful and SO GOOD. It was hard to even pick flavors at the testing because each one was so delicious. The samples didn't even fall off the fork they were so moist. Guests couldn't get enough and it looked exactly as I had requested and arrived on time and in beautiful shape. Thank you Chimirri's!
The cake was unbeatable. They provided us with a design that mirrored what we told them we liked. The cake was delicious and received huge reviews at the wedding. We had a bit extra and couldn't get enough once the reception was over. We can't wait to finish the topper in a year. The owner was easy to work with and very accommodating during our tasting. We had several others highly recommend this bakery as well and they didn't disappoint.
Lorena and her staff at Chimirri's did an amazing job on my wedding cake! From the start she was soo organized and kind and had everything ready for us when we showed up for our cake tasting. I showed her a picture of a cake for inspiration but changed the shape, color, decoration materials and one other request to change the design slightly...She executed it perfectly and was exactly how I pictured my cake!! It was beautiful, delivered on time and held up in the weather the entire night...not to mention delicious!! I received many compliments on how great and fresh it tasted. 5/5 stars for sure!
Thank you to Lorena and the staff of Chimirri's for our fabulous wedding cake!! It was stunning, and tasted absolutely delicious!! We set up an appointment to have a cake tasting, and Lorena met with us to discuss our vision for our dream wedding cake, and offered us a wide selection of cake samples to taste. There is also a photo album available to look through during the tasting, with pictures of many of the cakes that they have done, so that you can browse designs and see what they have to offer. Lorena's communication was great, and if I emailed her with questions or details, she always got back to me promptly. Thank you again, our cake was perfect!!

We got our wedding cake from Chimirri's 05/2018. When we went for the cake taste testing we were allotted one hour, which was more than enough time. It was easy, fun, and delicious! All of our guests loved the cake. Can't wait for our one year anniversary to finish it off!!
We chose Chimirri's out of the three bakeries included in our venue. We did a tasting at Chimirri's and didn't even bother with the rest! We did vanilla cake with lemon mousse over a thin layer of raspberry gel. The outside was "naked frosted" so it just had a thin layer of buttercream. The cake on our wedding day was not only delicious, but the design was even better than I had envisioned. I don't usually care too much for cake, but I actually took a break from dancing to eat a few bites! The cake got tons of compliments from our guests too. Looking forward to the top on our 1 year anniversary!
We chose chimirris for our wedding cake because our venue included it. However, we just went for a consultation and wasn’t sure if we would still choose them. If you’re having your wedding at Saint clements castle, I would highly recommend you choosing this bakery. Not only is it included in the price, but they’re amazing. The bakery is so cute and we actually went back a few times just to buy some treats, and it is Deff out of it way and not close to home but worth the drive! Lori is who we worked with and she was so easy to work with. I actually even emailed her a few months the later and changed everything we talked about and she was happy to do what I wanted now and nailed it perfectly! Now I find a lot at weddings that pretty cakes don’t always taste good,but not us! The cake was beautiful. It was even and perfecttttt!!!!! The decorations I dropped off were placed even more beautifully than I had planned and I’m a perfectionist! I was beyond pleased. But the taste ... oh my god!! SO GOOD!! I seriously don’t know if I can wait a year to eat the top of or cake haha! I want it now as I am typing this. I hope anyone who reads this does take a trip to the bakery, even if it’s not for your wedding, just go and take a ride and see what they have to offer. Thank you Lori, for creating a picture perfect cake that I had envisioned for my winter wedding, and for making it taste so amazing. I literally had a piece of every flavor we did!!

We chose Chimirri's for our wedding cake and could not have been happier! We worked with Lorena and she was absolutely wonderful! As a Sicilian, I figured that choosing a cake flavor would be easy. I expected to have a piece of cannoli cake and then beg my now wife for us to pick that one. Wow...Chimirri's made things difficult (in a great way)! Of all of the sample cakes that Chimirri's provided, every single one was out-of-this-world good. Their cakes are so good that we ended up choosing a flavor that we didn't anticipate: chocolate with raspberry filling. Aside from the phenomenal taste of the cake (a sentiment shared by over 250 people at our "Big Fat Greek-Italian Wedding"), the presentation of the cake was incredible. Chimirri's does a fantastic job. We had other bakery options that were a lot closer to us, but Chimirri's made it worth the hour-long drive. Five stars, two thumbs up, mille grazie per tutti!
We worked with Chimirri's for our wedding cake that was part of our package. It was one of the preferred vendors through our venue, Aria. We were so impressed! At our tasting, we were brought several different samples and they were all amazing. We had trouble choosing which ones we wanted! The cake was absolutely beautiful, and tasted even better! Highly recommend!
It was a no brainer to chose to work with Chimirri's for our wedding cake as a part of our package with Aria as we use them all the time for any bakery items for all occasions. This decision and their service did not disappoint! They were so wonderful from the very beginning with our tasting, through making our vision a reality when designing the look of the cake, up until the very end when our guests could not stop raving about how delicious our cake was. It's going to be very difficult not to take a bite out of our anniversary cake before we hit 1 year. Highly recommend, thank you Chimirri's!
We ordered our wedding cake from Chimirri’s as part of our package with Saint Clements Castle. The planning process was very smooth and straightforward. When we came in for our tasting, they had a table set up for us in the bakery with a book of designs for us to look through, and after our tasting (probably our favorite part of wedding planning!), Lorena worked with us to help us narrow down our thoughts and choose a design that would work well for the type of cake and frosting we wanted. On the wedding day, our cake looked absolutely beautiful. Our cake topper and the fresh flowers we had given them to use were arranged perfectly. Just as importantly, the cake itself was delicious! When we did our cake cutting, I think I ate the entire slice. Our guests were very happy as well.
So happy I chose to work with this vendor. The cake is preferred vendor for Aria Wedding and Banquets and rightfully so. Their cakes are gorgeous and test even better.
I went for a cake testing in July. Everything was so delicious and I had a hard time choosing between the cannoli filling and lemon filling.
Ilene (please forgive me if I got the name wrong), kindly accommodated making one layer cannoli cream and the other smaller layers lemon. IT WAS FABULOUS!!!
Everyone is still talking about how delicious the cake was and how beautiful it was.
Highly recommend.
Our cake was included from one of three bakeries in our wedding package at Aria, but we were so glad we chose Chimirri's! The tasting session was very basic, but we didn't want to add on anything to the price so went with the 3 tiered buttercream. They were easy to work with and we brought in our own ribbon and cake topper. Most importantly, at the wedding, the cake looked just how we wanted and tasted DELICIOUS! We got so many compliments! Many weddings we've been to have had cakes that are dry or bland...definitely not the case here!
This bakery has quite the assortment of flavors and styles to meet anyone's expectations! We had a lovely tasting of all of the flavors, and the staff made really great recommendations for our cake design to create the perfect masterpiece. The cake was perfectly decorated, delicious, and delivered timely. Their buttercream frosting is TO DIE FOR!! Highly recommend!!!!
They have really good variety of flavor which are are all delicious. We had them make our wedding cake (Vanilla w/ Bavarian Cream and Chocolate w/ Raspberry Mousse). They incorporated ribbon and other design elements we requested. It was a very beautifully cake!
My wedding cake was flawless. They created exactly what I wanted and all of the guests raved about the flavor. We chose the chocolate cake with raspberry mouse and it was delicious. I am currently eating a piece right now :).
Cake was delicious! And the design was absolutely beautiful! They took all my ideas and created a magnificent cake! The cake was included in our wedding package. So thankful it was from here..
Cannoli cake is awesome....the cake was decorated exactly how I wanted it was not only beautiful but the taste matched its beauty
Chimirris did a wonderful job with our wedding cake! We simply showed them a picture of what we wanted and to our surprise it was spot on! The cake was just as delicious as when we had our tasting, everyone loved it!
My cake was one of my favorite things at my wedding!! Lorna made it more beautiful than what I envisioned! It was gorgeous and delicious. All my guests commented how amazing it tasted.
Chimirri's made an absolutely beautiful and delicious cake for our wedding day! I couldn't be happier!
Chimirri's cakes are the most delicious wedding cakes around.
We ordered a yellow cake with chocolate/vanilla pudding filling, and a buttercream frosting. The cake was so fresh and delicious and we received so many compliments about the cake!
Chimirri's delivered the cake to our venue and there service was excellent...cake tasting was one of my favorite parts of preparing for the wedding!
I would highly recommend for any occasion.
We found a gem with Chimirri's for our wedding cake! We went in to do a tasting and fell in love with their cannoli cake and their orange grand marnier cake. We planned our wedding from out of state, so after returning home, we communicated with Lorena via phone and email photos to visualize what we wanted. The cake was beautiful and delicious! Our guests loved the cake too, no leftovers and many compliments on the unique flavors!
The cake turned out beautiful. We loved how it turned out - a little different with a mix of round and square layers, and a great variety of flavors to choose from. Our guests loved the cannoli cake, as do we, not a piece was left! Such an easy process.
I absolutely LOVE wedding cake, and Chimirri's cake is delicious. I really want to be able to write a great review, because honestly, the cake was so yummy and Lorena was so easy to work with. Unfortunately, the person who delivered our cake to the venue cracked the bottom layer and had to fix it the best he could with frosting and broke the cake topper and had to glue it back together.
With wedding cakes, it is all about the presentation of the cake and it is unfortunate that the cake cracked. Some of my guests didn't notice, but as the bride I will always know what happened when I see it in pictures.
Otherwise, the cake was delicious.
Delicious cake, easy process. Made us s 3 tier and extra sheet cake-it was ALL gone by the next morning-people loved it.
Chimirri's made an outstanding wedding cake for our wedding. Guests were raving about how good the cake was.
Cake was delicious! When we went for our tasting, we were provided with more than enough sample options, and they even packaged up the remaining samples to share with our family. Cake was delivered on time, and looked great.
For a delicious and beautiful wedding cake, this is your place! Raspberry with a cream cheese frosting middle, YUM!
Reasonably priced. Cake was so yummy! None of the other wedding cakes compared! Highly recommend!
I have nothing but great things to say about Chimirri's! We had a choice between them and Modern Pastry as part of our package with our venue and tried them both. There was no question that Chimirri's was the right choice! They gave us a fantastic tasting and Lorena was great at accommodating us when we needed to come on a day she wasn't working. All of the flavors were great, but we'd always dreamed of a carrot cake (our favorite). Theirs was easily one of the best we've had! The upgrade to carrot wasn't included, but it was a really small amount that we had to pay. The decoration was just as simple as we had requested and the FLAVOR! Oh my gosh. It was the most moist and flavorful wedding cake we've ever had. We'd definitely work with Chimirri's again and will be ordering a small carrot cake every year for our anniversary! Thanks Lorena and everyone at Chimirri's for a fantastic cake!
We picked our cake based on taste exclusively. That being said, trying to figure out a design was a little tough, and we had to do more hand holding than we would've liked with the other 300 things to get done. However, needless to say, the cake ended up looking beautiful and tasted even better! Had some guests tell us it was the best carrot cake they've ever tasted! Also pretty affordable too :)
Chimirri's did an excellent job on our cake. Our cake was the Orange Grand Marnier filled with a light Bavarian Cream and stawberries. It was light and very tasty. We had buttercream on the outside accented with ribbon, rhinestones, and fresh flowers. My only disappointment was I had purchased a very pretty cake stand for the cake to sit on. I checked with the bakery on the size to make sure I purchased the right one. The cake itself fit the base perfectly, but the cardboard the cake was sitting on was slightly larger and overlapped the base (which I think overshadowed and took away from the cake stand). Overall we were very happy with the cake.
Chimirri's made a 4 tier round cake for our wedding. Overall we were visually pleased with the cake. However what really won us over was the taste. It was absolutely delicious, very moist, flavorful, and we got many compliments. We had a marble cake with chocolate mousse and butter cream frosting. The price was a little more than we had intended to spend, but I would recommend Chimirri's.
We worked with Lorena and she was great! We wanted a less-conventional cake (chocolate chocolate CHOCOLATE) and she was willing to do different fillings in each tier. We went to a tasting that was completely free and we had a HUGE plate of different cakes with fillings and she even offered to box it up for us. We were worried because we heard from friends that going to a shop that does more than just wedding cakes might be a mistake but it totally was not! :) We have people still telling us how moist and delicious the cake was!
Our wedding cake was absolutely delicious. We splurged for a specialty flavor (canolli cake) and it was worth the extra money. Instead of freezing the top layer of our cake, we ate it all the day after the wedding. It was that good! THe decorations on the cake could have been better. We brought a picture with us and they followed what we wanted. It was just a little sloppy. All things considered, I would definitely use them again. I just would have simplified the decoration a little. We'll be going back to buy a canolli cake each year for our anniversary.
The best cake I have ever had. And I got a cheap one. What more can I say? Oh, that their pastries and cookies are the best, too. USE THIS VENDOR!!
Amazing and delicious!
Lorena is very accommodating!
Cake still moist 2 weeks after event!
We were able to go in and sample all the different cake and filling flavors they offered. We picked a 5 tier white cake with rasberry filling. It was excellent. The cake actually matched the design on the gown, it was gorgeous!
