Ciao Bella Cakes

hard time deciding on a flavor because everything was so good! We ended up doing chocolate cake and salted caramel filling and vanilla with raspberry, and it was the best cake I've ever had. She executed our vision perfectly, and so many guests asked us who made the cake because they needed to use her for their own events. I will never use another bakery. Ciao Bella helped make our day so sweet!!

so good and we got many compliments from our guests. Each tier was a different flavor that we got to customize at a fun cake tasting with Jennifer. Thank you so much Jennifer for being a reliable and excellent vendor to trust on our wedding day!

he get-go with the tasting. She worked with us and produced the absolute perfect cake (vanilla with chai!) for our wedding. It was gorgeous!

iends and family that it was the BEST cake they had ever had at a wedding! In addition, Jennifer executed my dream cake design perfectly! We had an amazing experience working with Jennifer and look forward to working with her again (for whatever occasion we can use as an excuse to be enjoying one of her cakes)!

th salted caramel frosting. Not only did it turn out beautiful & exactly as we had hoped, it was also delicious! It's not often that guests of a wedding rave about a cake but ours absolutely were!! All around fantastic experience working with Jennifer throughout the tasting & delivery process. Thanks Jennifer!

went with two tiers of lemon cake with vanilla icing and two tiers of chocolate cannoli cake -- I can't recommend the chocolate cannoli enough! Jennifer was also wonderful to work with, very sweet (we had a lot of fun at our tasting!) and flexible when our wedding was postponed due to covid. Please do yourself a favor and book Ciao Bella for your wedding cake!

GOOD! My wife and I already can't wait for our 1 year anniversary so we can eat the top tier! Highly recommend Ciao Bella Cakes!

was! It was so good, that we decided we didn't want to waste the top 'anniversary' layer by freezing it...we opened it and said happy 1 day anniversary to us and ate it with our kids the next day! The flavors offered were hard to choose but we had a layer in raspberry/lemon and others in tiramisu. Compliments to the chef, you won't be disappointed!

wedding package and from the first bite during our tasting, we knew Ciao Bella was the perfect option. Everything we tried was incredibly delicious, super moist and flavorful, not to mention their designs are beautiful. We had a specific design in mind and they were very professional and accommodating – putting together a stunning, delicious cake everyone loved! My husband and I are definitely looking forward to eating our top layer on our anniversary  We’d recommend Ciao Bella Cakes to everyone!

expensive). Jennifer was really accommodating to my husband and I as we live in the UK and were only in town for one week a few months before the wedding. We had a tasting and my sister and dad tagged along. We also decided to add other desserts a few weeks prior to the wedding and it was no problem. We loved our cake - it was beautiful and delicious!

choose from a variety of flavors, which was really fun! We chose to have layers of vanilla cake with strawberry mousse and chocolate cake with salted caramel mousse and it was delicious! Ciao Bella Cakes decorated our cake exactly as we asked and it looked beautiful. We recommend working with Ciao Bella Cakes!

r amazing but the cakes and the fillings were so light ..... nothing like what'd you expect from a catered cake. We went with two flavors vanilla cake with Tahitian cream and chocolate cake with salted caramel mousse. Every guest raved about the cake and many thought it was so good, they had to try both flavors! Jennifer even worked with our florist because the florist did the final decorations on the cake. She was absolutely a pleasure to deal with.

ed like bark and leaves from a tree (our wedding was in the Fall! ) and we had two types of cake: vanilla cake with chocolate buttercream frosting and chocolate cake with caramel sea salt frosting! So delicious! I typically don't like chocolate frosting -- but they changed my mind!! Totally recommend!

flavor (1/2 of each). We did a cake tasting and all of the cakes were great! They weren't dried out and they didn't have weird icing like a lot of wedding cakes do. We liked it so much that we dug into our frozen "anniversary cake" when we got back from our honeymoon!

d no trouble getting up a sugar free cake so that all our guests could enjoy! And the total cost came in under budget which was obviously a bonus.

our initials carved into the “bark” made of icing. All of our guests were taking pictures! We sprung for spice cake with cream cheese frosting and it was the best decision.

ut!

illa/vanilla. The design was perfect, the taste was really good.

l. We were given five options to taste, but they had many more we could choose from. We had a vanilla cake with vanilla filling alternating with vanilla cake and chocolate filling and buttercream frosting. Normally, wedding cake is not that good. That is not the case at all with Ciao Bella. The cake was light and airy. We received tons of compliments on the taste from our guests. Jennifer said that she could create the cake to look like whatever we wanted. I emailed Jennifer and Denise photos of other wedding cakes I liked the look of, and the cake they delivered was spot on. Thank you, Ciao Bella, for adding to our special day!

cake. Aside from looking like a junior high home economics project gone wrong the cake didn't even taste that good. The design was not what I asked for and when my cake got to the venue, some of the flowers were even broken. They over charged me and under delivered. To put things in perspective for you readers, I went with a very simple and elegant design something that any professional cake maker should be able to do. To say that I would not recommend this vendor is an understatement. For something so special please do not trust your special day to them. They are hard to deal with and what you get looks just terrible.

ults. So we hear! We were too busy dancing and mingling. It looked beautiful. Exctly like the picture we sent her.

job! We can’t wait to eat our topper on our 1 year!

was hard to choose the flavors! I couldn't wait for our wedding to eat the cake so I ordered a cake for my (now) husband's birthday. It made us even more excited for our wedding cake :-) We finally decided on flavors for the wedding and were unsure of how we wanted the cake decorated. Stefanie sent us different ideas and then I found a totally different idea for a cake. I sent her a picture and our wedding cake looked exactly like the picture. It was beautiful and we received a ton of compliments on the way the cake looked but more importantly- on how delicious the cake tasted! There weren't any extra cake slices left over at the end of the wedding! We did save our top tier and promptly ate it within a week of the wedding. Our plan is to order a cake for our first anniversary. And we'll probably be ordering something else before then!

vision to the flawless execution of her whimsical but elegant design we knew we had chosen wisely. A testament to Stephanie’s abilities came in the days after the wedding when we received calls from relatives inviting themselves over for coffee because they “knew we had some of that fabulous cake left over”. Stephanie is a delight to work with and her cakes will exceed the expectations of even the most discriminating.

and the owner seemed excited to create something she never did before. Would absolutely recommend them!

probably ask her to make us a first anniversary cake. Stefanie is kind, creative and best of all, she makes delicious cakes. Definitely use Ciao Bella.

er! We got so many compliments about the cake, it was perfect!!

ited the other bakery, which I won't name here, first. Essentially, they ignored us, the cake was dry and when I asked for a specific detail on the cake, they were rude and quick to tell me it couldn't be done. Then, we visited Stefanie at Ciao Bella. She was the complete opposite in every way. First, she was extremely accommodating. We were very late for our appointment, as it was the weekend after Hurricane Sandy and we had travel issues. Stefanie saw us at the very end of her day, never rushed us and went through all of our options in great detail and with patience, upfront about any extras that we would need to pay for that went beyond our package. She truly cares about her customers, and her work. Most importantly, the cake samples were delicious. Also, when I asked Stefanie about the same detail I had asked the other baker about (I had wanted to incorporate the same flowers that appeared on the sleeves of my dress onto the cake), she immediately came up with suggestions for how it could be done. After our first meeting, she sent sketches of three different cakes. All were beautiful. On the day of our wedding, when I saw the cake we had selected, it was perfect. The detail on the cake matched my dress perfectly. And, again, it tasted great! In summary, I believe that even if I could have chosen from all of the bakers in the Philadelphia area, Stefanie would still have been my first choice. Highly recommend!

avor and filling combinations. The cake looked gorgeous and just as expected and tasted even better than the samples! We would definitely recommend Ciao Bella for your cake needs.

and many options for our cake. I provided her with a picture and my cake turned out just like it! She also hand made the edible flowers. We got so many compliments on our cake the entire night. I would recommend her to anyone in the PA and NJ areas.

mmunicate with. I could email her with a question and no matter what the time was I would have an answer quickly! I will definitely be getting more cakes from here whenever I need one!

tyle that I didn't even had in mind, and was very creative in incorporating the wedding and pulling it together to show in the wedding cake. And by the way, the fondant she used on our cake was delicious! It didn't taste like rubber that other had described fondants to be. I guess having a really good baker makes a complete difference. I would definitely use her again on any other special occasion that me and my family or friends may have!

two tiers of chocolate cake and two tiers of vanilla! Not only was our cake absolutely beautiful, but it tasted amazing! All of our guests commented upon how yummy our wedding cake was, and how modern it looked. All of our tiers were square with orange sugar dahlias. It was quite striking! We will continue to use Ciao Bella for all of our specialty cakes (including a birthday we have coming up!)

with multiple options for how the cake could look at different price points so that we could pick the look we wanted and consider our budget at the same time. It turned out fantastic and not only did we love it but our guests did as well. My husband was thrilled with how it looked (as was I) but I was more happy with how it tasted. Ciao Bella had great options for the cake flavors as well as the fillings/icing. Ciao Bella was a pleasure to work with for our wedding cake. They were professional, patient, and kind. I would definitely recommend Ciao Bella to anyone needing a wonderful tasting and wonderful looking cake for their wedding or other special event.
