Empire Cake was a delicious addition to our wedding day! We went with Raspberry Lemon- it was so yummy, and we kept the design beautifully simplistic so it would be the perfect bac...
kdrop to add fresh flowers from our florist. The Empire team so helpful and communicative throughout the planning process. Shout out to Bonnie, who was our main point of contact. Highly recommend Empire for any of your cake needs!
We sampled one other bakery but after tasting Empire Cake’s samples the decision was easy. We went with the Brooklyn Blackout, Very Vanilla & Strawberry Fields for our layers. Ever...
yone’s favorite was the Brooklyn Blackout … the most moist, yummy cakes. We were glad we ordered more than enough for our guests to take cake boxes with them for the next day. THANK YOU!
Everything from start to finish was seamless! I had a very specific clean, modern design in mind for my wedding cake and Drew made it identical to what I asked for. My wedding cake...
was a masterpiece and so beautifully made, plus it was delicious! We did a fondant exterior and ended up choosing German chocolate cake for the flavor. It was very easy to work with them and they were very responsive throughout the whole process. Your wedding cake is in good hands with Empire Cake!
When we were deciding on a wedding cake vendor for our 200-person wedding, we chose Empire Cakes given their many years of experience…and we’re so happy we did! The cake they deliv...
ered was not only more beautiful as expected, but even more delicious than what we tasted during the cake tasting! Empire is definitely the way to go if you’re having a large wedding and want to make sure the big cake lives up to the hype.
Empire Cake saved my wedding. I gave them the wrong wedding date and we didn't catch the mistake until the night before the wedding. Despite this, they were able to accommodate our...
wedding and deliver the cake on the right date. The cake was beautiful and it was delicious! We got the Dulce de Leche cake and everyone loved it! It was also very affordable compared to other vendors in NYC.
We got a raspberry lemon cake for our wedding and it was absolutely delicious and beautiful despite its simplicity!! Drew was super easy to work with and helped us work with their ...
delivery crew to figure out a time that worked for our vendor to receive the cake for our night-time wedding. He also reached out to me before putting our topper on the cake to let us decide how we wanted the topper to get affixed to the cake in the event that we wanted to keep it after the wedding. We sampled a few cake options and they were all so yummy, so I don't think you can go wrong with anything you select from Empire. I look forward to ordering from them again in the future.
We got a mix of black forest and mott street canoli cake, it was so delicious. Our guests loved the cake. Empire cake was so responsive and will work with you so efficiently to des...

They send us a box of our choices for tasting at our home. I loved working with them.
Absolutely loved Empire Cakes Black & White cookies. We ordered the large for guest favors for our daughters wedding reception. They were such a hit. Beautiful and delicious. We go...
t so many compliments from our guests how good they were.
Customer service was also great. Definitely will

We absolutely fell in love with our cake! It looked exactly how we wanted it to and literally took my breath away when I saw it at our venue. We ended up choosing two flavors—red ...
velvet and carrot cake—because we couldn’t choose and were so happy we were able to do both. Empire Cake was incredibly easy to work with. Because of Covid, we had to do an at home tasting, but the portions were fantastic (so we re-tried them a few hours later) and they had tons of options. We also felt the value of our cake was incredible. We tasted a few more expensive options and still thought Empires Cake’s were the best tasting. So happy we went with them!
Isa and the team at Empire were great! They walked us through how to set-up the cake tasting box (all of the flavors were so delicious it was hard to narrow down to just the two w...
e needed). They were also very helpful in working with us to fit within our budget and our design ideas. Lastly they provided an ingenious solution for a way to affix our own cake topper. Delivery was easy to arrange and arrived on schedule. We can’t wait to use them for future occasions!
Empire was great to work with from the tasting through to the wedding. Got a smallish two tiered cake to cut and two sheet cakes to serve, to ensure we got a variety of flavors an...
d they were super helpful in determining the right sizes, etc. Also if you end up ordering a cake, they deduct the tasting fee from your final order, which was nice. I wish they'd offered a little more guidance on decoration options - I guess I should have prepared a little more. Also I sent a photo of a grey marbled fondant cake with a gold stripe, which they mostly got right, however the final cake was a reddish pink marble which didn't go with our colors. It was hard to tell in the lighting in the reception so it's fine but I was a little disappointed. All in all it was delicious and I would go back - just be SUPER clear with your decoration instructions.
I spent many months looking for the right cake. Once I had the design I wanted in mind it took me about 2 months to find a bakery that would help bring it to life. Not only the d...
esign is important but the taste is as well. I reached out to many bakeries and in the end I decided to give Empire Cake a try. Jim responded all my questions in a timely matter. I sent him a picture of the cake design I wanted and he emailed me a proposal. What I liked about Empire Cake is that they did not charge me an expensive delivery rate which is what I found many bakeries in NYC do once they know the cake is for a wedding. My cake was a reasonable price and the taste was amazing. We received many compliments on our raspberry lemon filled cake. The cake was beautiful and neat. I highly recommend them!
We had the most perfect cake from Empire Cake for our wedding. From the original tasting to cupcakes for our rehearsal, Mel and everyone at Empire Cake did a wonderful job!
Two words: GORGEOUS AND YUMMMMMM! We worked with Jessica who was amazing! Brought our cake ideas to life. Super easy to work with and truly delivered the cake we dreamt of.
Jessica and the team at Empire Cake are outstanding. The cake was one area where I had no frame of reference, but Jessica helped guide us through the whole process with a sure, fr...
iendly hand. She worked hard to provide us with a stunning and unique cake while staying within our budget AND without making us feel bad for having a budget. Instead, I really got the feeling that Jessica put a lot of thought and talent into our little two-tier cake--the frosting version of some pretty elaborate Art Deco gates at our venue was off the hook! And as far as taste? Well, with flavors like Raspberry Lemon, it's hard to go wrong!
We had a great experience with Empire Cake. They were really easy to work with, given that I was planning my New York wedding from Texas. Jessica was transparent with our pricing o...
ptions and did her best to accommodate our budget. She was extremely responsive to my emails and if she wasn't around, someone was always informing me of when I was going to get a response. I was so happy with my wedding cake. We also had Empire do our favors (black and white cookies) and everyone loved them! We are so happy we got to work with Jessica and the Empire team!
We chose Empire Cake to do our wedding cake because it is one of our favorite bakeries in the city. We also had them create our favors, which were assorted muffins each in their ow...

We worked with Jessica who was friendly, helpful, and extremely patient. She worked with me for quite a while through various sketches in order to get exactly what we wanted.
Empire Cake did a great job and we will continue to use them for all our post-wedding bakery needs.
Empire cakes was hands down the best cake I have ever tried! We were so happy to have them create the wedding cake of our dreams! The team was a true joy to work with and the flavo...
