Gallo's Bakery

tter than i could have ever imagined!

them again.

d especially on how good the chocolate with peanut butter filling layer was. I definitely recommend using Gallos!

t even count the number of compliments we got on our cake.

ey are well known in our area as having great cakes. Most importantly, their website listed pumpkin as a seasonal cake flavor! Unfortunately, we weren't able to try our cake before our actual wedding. I was adamant about not using real flowers, but looking back I wish I hadn't been. The sugar flowers lost their shape throughout the night.

a red and white checkerboard look to go along with our BBQ wedding theme - and this just brought it all together! It was great!

had 3 types of cupcakes and a beautiful small cake we can use for our 1st anniversary. They were also able to bake a cake for my maid of honor's birthday and decorate the carrot cake to match our theme. Truly special.

t the cake was DELICIOUS. The only complaints we heard were that people wished they'd known to try more flavors! We took a bunch of leftovers on our honeymoon, and ate a little all week. We can't wait for our first anniversary to see how the top layer did in the freezer!

and Gallo Bakery. My fiancé (now husband) wanted a custom design. First, we went to Diane, whose samples were okay, not the tastiest, but okay. She seemed friendly in a stuck-up sort of way. She was going to charge us an additional $125 for the custom design. Because of the price, we decided to try the next bakery. Country Sweets in Woodbury = Yuck. Oh, the designs on the cakes are fabulous – but at the expense of taste. The frosting is almost pure lard, and the pound cake was super DRY (he told us that’s the way pound cake is supposed to be). Whatever. He was going to charge $100. Since we saw on Gallo Bakery’s website that their cakes don’t look professional-professional, I emailed Diane and told her we’d go with her. She emailed back and told me she decided to charge an additional $100 after she had written down a quoted price of $125. Whatever. We then decided to try Gallo’s Bakery in Mt. Laurel. Wow! The pound cake tasted SO GOOD and moist! The frosting was made with mostly butter, too, so even the frosting tasted good. When we asked her how much more for the custom design, she said it was FREE. At the reception, we noticed that the design wasn’t the greatest… but, all the guests raved how GREAT and TASTY the cake was. There were NO pieces of cake left! I want to go back there for every one of our anniversaries and get a small pound cake with that frosting!

t! Every year on our anniversary I plan to have them make a small replica for us :)

. we ate it a week after the wedding

y helpful when I asked for suggestions on the décor of my cake. She actually seemed irritated that I was unsure of exactly what I wanted when I walked in. She also spoke about the problems their company was having with my venue which ended up stressing me out, and left my husband and I worried that something would go wrong. In the end the cake turned out beautifully and was delicious. Their customer service just needs a little work.

at she did not use the right sugar flowers on the cake that we paid for. We chose pink star gazer lilies to match the centerpieces and to bring in the pink from the wedding color. The rest of the cake was white. The cake was pretty but not what I wanted. The flowers were wrong. She used calla lilies but they were not pink. She called me on the Thursday before sounding confused and I reminded her we paid for the star gazer lilies and she went through her paperwork and found it. I do beleive she never ordered the correct flowers and instead of being upfront with me on that phone call she didn't say anything. And I was a little shocked when I saw the cake. The taste and all was good. I just wish she would have been up front with me about the incorrect flowers being on the cake.

d that we chose Gallo's! We had rave reviews about the cake although we didn't get to eat any LOL. The cake was moist and we chose a strawberry custard filling that was divine! We also had handmade sugar flowers added to the cake which made it look amazing! Overall, a job well done!
