Joe Gambino's Bakery is incredible! We had a wonderful experience with them, from our initial tasting all the way through our ceremony. We ordered both a bride's cake and a groom's cake, and both came out perfect!
Designing our cake with Gambino's staff was so fun, and their attention to detail was perfect. Our bride's cake had four tiers, all of which were different flavors, plus we included cake pulls for our bridesmaids. Our groom's cake was a marbled chess piece on top of a realistic chess board. Both looked incredible, perfectly matching our expectations, and they were delicious too! And the cake pull charms were so cute! Also, the pricing was better than many other bakeries we got quotes from!
There's a reason Joe Gambino's has been one of the most famous bakeries in the city for over 70 years! We cannot recommend them enough!

You all are so sweet! Thank you for taking time to write us such a wonderful review and to share your photos. It is always so kind when our clients send us feedback.
We will share this with our entire team.
Congratulations again!!
Gambino's made both our wedding cake and groom cake! They both looked amazing and tasted even better. The whole process was very easy from the cake tasting to ordering the cakes! Would highly recommend.
The staff at Gambino’s did an amazing job ensuring I got exactly what I wanted for my wedding cake. I was late in ordering my cake but they still made it happen and they customized it just for me. I was thoroughly happy with the finished product and of course it tasted amazing!!
Any questions?
The entire team at Gambino's Bakery went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding cake was as delish and as decorated as we wanted it to be! We were welcomed like family when we first met at our cake tasting, and from there it was truly a seamless experience working with Gambino's. The owners and their team were incredibly kind, helpful, and patient when my fiancé and I made our decisions on the cake. I can't forget to mention how truly perfect our cake looked, and it tasted DELISH! There's a reason why Gambino's is so well-known in the Greater New Orleans Area and why they're namesakes in this industry! The wedding cake with raspberry filling is truly divine, and the chocolate groom's cake was perfectly decadent. You truly can't go wrong with Gambino's - I'm so grateful for their kindness and hospitality, and I strongly recommend them!
We got so many compliments on our cake. Not only was it absolutely beautiful and exactly what we wanted in terms of decor, but it also tasted amazing. Gambino's did a fantastic job, and we're so happy we went with them.

Hello Morgan,
Thank you!! We were honored to be a part of your wedding day. We truly appreciate you taking time to write us a wonderful review. Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. :))
Don't think twice, get your cake from Gambino's! The cake itself was absolutely delicious, all of my guests complimented it through out the night and after the event. They also did an incredible job of making my dreams a reality by incorporating my two dogs into the cake, they were so adorable and realistic. In addition to the cake, I also requested wedding themed chocolate covered strawberries and they were delicious! They are easy to work with and make the whole experience a breeze which was really important to me since I was planning a wedding from afar.

e us a lovely review.
A huge Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs.:)))
I worked with Jackie-Sue to create the wedding cake that was perfect for us. We choose a simple three tiered cake but almond cream and when it showed up I was so impressed. The cake was massive in a good way. It took up the cake table and was gorgeous. None of these small cakes with no flair, this cake was a gorgeous simple yet statement piece that shines in all of our photos.

Wedding was 9/23/23 and they were so intentional about when the cake was delivered so that it wouldn’t melt since they knew it would be outside all night. It was delicious and beautiful!

Congratulations again!!
Grateful for Gambino’s and would highly recommend
Gambino’s staff was communicative, friendly, and celebratory of our union - and our vanilla butter cake with vanilla icing was absolutely delicious. They were able to do our icing in our wedding colors and it turned out beautiful. We felt the pricing was very reasonable and the cake was delivered on time/early. We were pleasantly surprised that as a suburban located business they treated us as a same sex couple with respect and without distinction from any other couple getting married. We were also impressed with the relative diversity of their staff which is important to us. My only critique is that they should have the willingness and ability to make vegan wedding cakes and other vegan baked goods to be inclusive of those of us who prefer not to support using animal products for animal rights, environmental, health and/or spiritual reasons. Thank you Lety, Jackie-Sue and the whole team !

Love the photos too:)))
Congratulations again and we can't thank you enough for trusting us to be a part of your wedding day. It was truly an honor.
I was very bad at responding to Joe Gambino's. Trying to plan a wedding and being a teacher at the end of the year, I definitely waited too long to order my cake. Joe Gambino's staff took care of me anyway. They got the order to me and I was able to get it booked. We ordered a Vanilla wedding cake with chocolate buttercream. This was delicious and sad that it was all eaten before we could grab more!

Thank you so much Katrina! We really appreciate hearing feedback on how our team performs:) We are so happy that everything went well for your wedding .

Thank you so very much!! We certainly appreciate your kind review.
So happy everything went well:)
They did a 5 tiered king cake for our wedding. It was magnificent! It tasted amazing, the best king cake I’ve ever eaten. I was blown away and people thought it was so creative!
Response from the Vendor on 04/12/2023
Thank you so very much Katie! We love to hear back from our brides:)
So happy that you and your guests enjoyed it. We appreciate you writing us a review.
Gambino’s did an impeccable job on our wedding cake. I fell in love with a cake from their sample book that was buttercream with lace piping. They explained that they couldn’t make that exact cake because it was custom made to match that bride’s wedding dress, so I brought them a piece of my wedding dress lace, and they piped the cake to match my dress! It was absolutely beautiful and, of course, delicious too! We had wedding cake pulls as well. Jackie-Sue had us drop them off a couple of weeks before the wedding, and they were perfectly placed and ready for us at the reception. Gambino’s is dependable and delicious--everything you need from your wedding cake baker.

Thank you!
We can not say enough good things about Gambino's. Our wedding cake was not only delicious but it was beautiful and a great price! Letty was our cake lady and she was so sweet, funny, and knew everything there was to know about cakes. The icing was fresh and the cake was so moist. We also got our groom's cake and it was a huge hit! It was a four tier cookie cake and it too was amazing. Gambino's is now our tradition for all of our cakes. Our wedding was in December and we still have guests telling us how mazing our cake was.

Honestly the best cake I had ever tasted. As a couple, we are both not the biggest fan of cake but figured we might as well get one for our wedding. It was amazing! Both of us couldn’t stop eating it. It was also really beautiful and exactly what we were wanting. I can’t recommend Gambino’s Bakery enough.
Response from the Vendor on 04/12/2023
You are so sweet! Thank you so very much for leaving us a review. It is important to our team:)
Congratulations again.
Gambino's was our choice for our NOLA destination December wedding. Lety was great at helping my Mom pick out flavors and design when they met in person. We went with almond flavoring with raspberry filling. Guests are still raving about it ! They have a great system that kept up with us and made sure our details were set even though we ordered the cake months in advance. They delivered it and the guests raved the entire reception about how good it was. I highly recommend Gambino's!
Response from the Vendor on 04/12/2023

Kept Gambino's as a wedding tradition for our cake and groom's cake, and we were not disappointed! Both cakes were moist and tasted just like how we had during our tastings months before.
Response from the Vendor on 01/11/2023
We love the fact that we are a family tradition. Thank you for writing us such a nice review.
Congratulations again on your wedding!
Cake was beautiful, tasty and perfect. The whole process was easy and our guests loved it.
Response from the Vendor on 01/11/2023
Thank you so very much! We love to hear back from our couples:)
Let me first say, Gambino's is Gambino's. You're going to get an incredible cake no matter what. We came to them unsure of flavors, decor, anything aside from wanting something delicious. Blair led us through the process and we ended up with a cake that we are still hearing about today! Getting to mix and match flavors with fillings was so helpful and our icing colors perfectly matched everything else. Our entire wedding wanted multiple slices to try everything! Everyone was easy to contact, easy to make changes, and to walk through new design ideas. I can't thank the team enough!

Highly recommend Gambino's Bakery for your wedding cakes in Nola! We had a 3-tiered wedding cake + stacked king cakes for the groom's cake, and our guests are still talking weeks later about how delicious they were!
The cakes turned out exactly how we had imagined them. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

The wedding and grooms cake for my daughter's wedding was absolutely delicious! The wedding cake was beautiful and we had a LSU tiger head for the grooms cake and it came out perfect. The entire process was so easy from the taste test, ordering, dropping off cake pulls to coordinating with florist. Lety was incredibly amazing to work with.

The whole process was simple and easy. We had a tasting about 6 months before the wedding where we told them what we wanted, and about a month before the wedding we confirmed everything. It turned out absolutely perfectly and was delicious!

Thank you Sydney for writing us such a lovely review! We appreciate you selecting our bakery to be a part of your wedding day. We wish you both health and happiness for your future.
I am not a cake person, so a wedding cake wasn't at the top of my list. However, my husband LOVES King Cake since he is originally from New Orleans, so we decided to have that instead at our wedding. Gambino's King Cake was the perfect choice, they were so accommodating and the cake is delicious too.
Response from the Vendor on 06/04/2022
Thank you Indira!! We love that your guests enjoyed the "King of King cakes".
It is always so fun to share our NOLA customs with everyone. We appreciate you taking time to write us a review, too. Health and happiness to you both.
I have nothing but amazing things to say about Gambinos! We hired them to do our wedding cake and grooms cake. And they both came out absolutely beautiful and delicious!! I still have people reaching out after the wedding asking who did our cakes because they were so amazing! I highly recommend them for ANY event!
Response from the Vendor on 06/04/2022

Words from one of my photographers “I have shot many weddings, this was the best cake I have ever had” being a destination wedding, I can’t thank you enough for bringing my vision to life and creating such beautiful and fun masterpieces. Thank you, from the bottom of my wifey heart!

Mrs Jackie-Sue and the design team was so easy to work with! The wedding cake was gorgeous, exactly what I wanted, and absolutely delicious. My husband was very impressed with the grooms cake. He was reluctant to ask for a fighter jet but Gambinos came through with a beautiful and delicious F-22!

Gambino's made us the most incredible wedding cake! We are so happy we got to try some and it was PHENOMENAL! We loved it and all of our guests commented on how amazing it was too. Even my niece can't get over it, she asked my sister for the same cake for her birthday!
Response from the Vendor on 06/04/2022
Yeah!!! Thank you for such an enthusiastic review. We love sharing feedback like this to our entire team. Your kindness is so appreciated. Health and happiness for you both:)
This vendor made it seamless and easy! We wanted a King's Cake for the Groom's Cake at our wedding, as we are from out of town and wanted to give our guests something fun and local- some Mardis Gras Flair. Designing the cake just took 1 quick phone call and electronic payment. The cake was delivered on time at the venue, no problem at all. It was fun to look at and delicious! Highly recommend Gambino's.

My wife and I got married last weekend at The Chicory in New Orleans, and Gambino's more than delivered on our wedding cake! Many of our family and friends were coming in from out of town, so we wanted to do a tiered king cake as our wedding cake! Gambino's provided us a beautiful 5 tier king cake that was as delicious as it was pleasing to the eyes! All of our guests were raving about the look and the taste! It was a truly memorable experience for so many of our guests that have never been to New Orleans, nor seen/ eaten a king cake!
Response from the Vendor on 06/04/2022
Yes!!! We love sharing our NOLA traditions with out of towners but nothing makes us happier then showing off our King cakes. We are so happy that everything went well.

Thank you Gambino's Bakery for making the wedding cake experience for my son's wedding both easy and exciting. Both the bride's cake and Groom's cake were delicious and beautiful. And also thanks for making it so easy to reschedule the wedding due to hurricane Ida to a different city. Can't give you enough thumbs up!!

Thank you Rachel,
We are so happy that everything went well for your son's wedding. It is so kind of you to take time to write us a lovely review.
Where to begin?! Gambinos was absolutely amazing to work with for ALL of my wedding events! From our proposal celebration, engagement party, couples shower, bridal shower, rehearsal dinner and wedding cake they kept wowing us and our guests with not only their stunning designs and delicious cakes but with their amazing customer service. I wanted our wedding cake to replicate parts of my beaded wedding dress but also be classic while making a statement at our reception, and Gambinos delivered that and MORE! During our design meeting we shared our ideas for our cakes and they sketched it in front of us! We had little details that could have been easily overlooked for our groom’s cake but every detail was captured. We can’t thank Gambinos enough for making our wedding cake dreams a reality.
Response from the Vendor on 01/14/2022
Thank you so much Ashleigh for such a lovely review! Nothing makes us happier then to hear our team performed to their best. We appreciate you trusting us with your entire slate of wedding events.

The wedding cake was gorgeous and delicious. My husband is a Browns fan, so I asked them to make a Browns-themed groom’s cake and it came out so well, he LOVED it!
Response from the Vendor on 01/14/2022
Yeah! So happy that you were both pleased with the cakes.
Thank you for taking time to write a review too:)
Congratulations again!
You absolutely cannot go wrong with a Gambino's cake. We originally booked with Gambino's for our "big wedding" which we had to push back a year due to COVID. Well we decided we wanted a small cake this year when we got married in our small ceremony with immediate family - just a smaller version of what we originally planned for next year. They said that was no problem, it was terribly inexpensive for wedding cake, and it was absolutely delicious. I literally want to take the part we saved out of the freezer right now, and it's only been a week! Highly recommend Gambino's for every cake need. They are wonderful!
Response from the Vendor on 01/14/2022
Congratulations again! We can't thank you enough for giving our team feedback on how we performed. We appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to write us a review.
Beautiful, towering, delicious, moist, magnificent! Our daughter's wedding cake was perfect, and we received so many compliments on it from the guests. Gambino's did an awesome job on the groom's cake as well. They were able to merge the groom's love for crawfish boils, his favorite beer, and his passion for his country into a cool and creative cake. It was so cool that it looked more like a work of art than a cake. Most importantly, the folks at Gambino's provided outstanding service throughout the process. From the tasting to the design to the delivery, it was stress free and fun. We give Gambino's and all of the people there, especially the Scelfo family, the highest recommendation!
Response from the Vendor on 01/14/2022
Thank you so very much for such a lovely review. We truly appreciate you allowing us to be a part of your daughter's special day. It makes us all happy when we hear back from our customers. Thank you so kindly!
I was so thrilled with the whole experience with Gambino's. The cake was hands down the best cake through several other tastings. As soon as we tasted the cake, we knew the choice was obvious. I chose a buttercream design that they completed perfectly. The cake was a huge hit and I couldn't have been happier.

Hello Sydney,
Congratulations again on your wedding! We appreciate yo taking time to write us a review. Thank you for your kind words.

Our cake was perfect. After we ate our left overs from the wedding here we are 5 days later and we are wanting of taking out our frozen top tier out of the freezer to get another taste of our delicious cake. Lol . We will definitely be taking a ride from Bellechasse to Metairie to purchase a cake. Not only was it the most delicious and fresh cake it was oh so beautiful. The cake was beyond our expectations if you are looking for a wedding cake you have found the place. Prices were good and the staff was great! They put our cake pulls inside the cake and our topper on top as well as delivered it to the venue. It was so easy!

Gambino’s in Denham Springs was amazing. As a COVID wedding caused changes on a monthly basis, they did an amazing job of keeping up with the changes, and in the end, we had a gorgeous cake that was moist and delicious!!! Thank you, Gambino’s!!!

Gambino’s was amazing! Super responsive, flexible, and affordable!

Extremely happy with the our wedding cake & groomscake that we ordered from Gambino's! We received so many compliments on the look and the taste of both cakes! I showed Jackie a picture of how we wanted our cakes to look, and they nailed it! The staff was very professional from the cake tasting to the wedding day. Definitely recommend this bakery 😊

Thanks for the kind words and taking the time to write this review!
Our wedding cake was not only beautiful, but it was delicious as well! And apparently our Groom's cake was just as great because there was NONE LEFT! :) Wish we could have tasted it, but so glad that our guests enjoyed it! Gambino's staff was so pleasant to work with, as well. They listened so closely to our wishes and delivered the most perfect result. Thanks Gambino's!

Thanks for the great review! We appreciate it so much!
We absolutely LOVED our Italian Cream wedding cake this weekend! We ordered it without being able to taste test it, but we know Gambino's puts out a great product. Our guests absolutely LOVED the flavor of the cake as well!
Our family has been using Gambino's for as long as I can remember, so for our wedding day there was never a question as to who would make our cake. It was beautiful and exactly what we asked for. Thank you!

Thank you so much for writing us such a wonderful review! We are so happy you loved your cake!!
Gambino's did a three tier naked cake for us, plus a confetti and red velvet cake for each side to add some other options. All of the cakes were delicious! And working with the team there was very easy, including delivery on the day of and scheduling a tasting in the middle of a pandemic. Thanks for making the wedding cake process so easy!

Congratulations again Nicole!!
Thank you so kindly for taking time to write us a lovely review. We were honored to be selected to be a part of your wedding day. It was our pleasure!
Thank you again:))
Our Gambino’s wedding and groom’s cake were exactly what we wanted and delicious! Adrienne worked with us to design both, and ensured they were made to reflect our vision. Our wedding cake was fresh and beautifully done, but the favorite of the night was the chocolate peanut butter groom’s cake!
Highly recommend Gambino’s as a wedding vendor.

Lindsey, thank you so much for taking time to write us a lovely review, We are so happy that you enjoyed everything:)
Congratulations again!
Gambinos is a combination of the best tasting and most affordable option out there. After we changed our wedding date and reduced our party size from 100 to 10 their staff helped us ensure our new petite cake was still beautiful and tasty! They were able to make our small cake still look like my beautiful wedding cake I dreamed off!

Thanks for the great review!
Gambino’s is amazing and so easy to work with! My husband had a very specific idea in mind for his groom cake and they executed it perfectly! Our wedding cake was beautiful and exactly what I wanted - and both were DELICIOUS! Jackie Sue was so sweet and helpful throughout the entire process - especially when we had to postpone our wedding due to Covid. Gambino’s is the best around and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone!!!

Thank YOU so much for writing us such a sweet review. We were honored to be a guest at your wedding:)
Congratulations again!!
Most people are familiar with Gambinos for their famous King Cakes but they also do wedding cakes. Gambinos did a great job with our almond and buttercream two tier wedding cake. They provided tasting samples which helped us to pick flavors and recommended sizes based on our guest count. The cake turned out beautifully and many guests remarked that it was the best tasting wedding cake they ever had. We highly recommend Gambino's for any of your bakery needs.

Eboni, thank you so much for taking time to write us a review. We really appreciate it!
So happy you enjoyed everything.
thank you again!!
We had a wedding cake tasting and it was my husband’s top choice. The cake tasted good and the service was nice. I like their online proposal system. The problem I had, and it was a huge disappointment, was that they didn’t put my wedding cake topper on the cake. My wedding started at 6pm (I’m not sure what time the cake was delivered) and the cake topper was no where to be found. Around 8:30 pm someone from the bakery dropped off the cake topper, still in the bag I watched the worker put it in the day before when I dropped it off. I’ve heard so many good things about the bakery and I really couldn’t believed they apparently misplaced my topper and didn’t realize it until they were closing. I also noticed that some of the cupcakes were smushed a little. I found the cake to be dryer than the tasting. There was also no apology or acknowledgement of the cake topper mistake. If ordering I would ensure they have their ducks in a row. I wouldn’t want anyone to see their wedding cake without their topper they envisioned. And I had a personalized topper so it was really important for us to have it.

Breiah, we are so so sorry about this error. We sent you a few emails via Honeybook but didn't get a response from our last email. In fact , our last email to try and see what we could do to remedy the error was on July 23rd. As we discussed...
, we typically ask for the cake topper to be dropped off at the bakery to us two weeks before the wedding. The reason we have this policy is to properly tag and record the items . Unfortunately, the cake topper was brought in the night before the wedding when the wedding consultants had left for the day. Our sales staff that received the cake topper failed to properly record that it was brought in and failed to put it in the "current week's bin . That staff member failed to follow the proper protocol for cake toppers. This is where we dropped the ball. When the cakes had been delivered, we realized we had one topper left over that was not recorded on our list for that weekend. Once we realized that it went to your cake, we immediately sent a staff member to go deliver the beautiful cake topper.
Our sincere apologies, we certainly know this was a human error that certainly wasn't intentional. We would like to still try and do something for you because we still feel so bad about this situation, Please respond to our emails so we can try and make this right,
Gambino's did our wedding cake and groom's cake in November and we couldn't have been happier with how both cakes turned out. The staff over there is very friendly and helpful, and the cakes were extremely fresh and looked exactly how I had pictured them. Thank you so much!!

Thank you Katherine!! It's almost your 1st anniversary:))))
Happy anniversary!!
They were very easy to communicate with. Delicious desserts, even when we ate the leftovers a few days later! They answered all our questions and the delivery to our venue went smoothly. We also felt the pricing was very fair for the quality and quantity of desserts we ordered.

Thank you so much for taking the to write us this great review! We loved being a part of your big day!
WOW! What can I say?! everything was perfect, from the super quick communication regarding design and quotes all the way to on time delivery. As a destination bride, I couldn't do a tasting, so I basically relied on the Gambino's reputation as one of the best bakeries in Louisiana. We were not disappointed!! our guests could not stop raving about how amazing our cake was; we didn't have a single piece left over (we heard one of our guests are 4 pieces :)). You also can't beat the price. We had a three tier cake for 60 and it was just perfect. It was gorgeous!! Thank you!!
Response from the Vendor on 05/26/2020
THANK YOU! We love hearing stories like this!
Thanks again!
As a New Orleans Native, I had big expectations for my wedding cake! I met with the Gambinos team and they provided LOTS of choices. They even let me take the remainder of my tasting cakes home so the rest of my family could try it! I provided them with color swatches of my bridesmaids dresses to ensure the color for the roses in my cake was spot on. Gambinos exceeded my expectations!! Their customer service was outstanding and all of my guests raved about the delicious cake. I would recommend them to all brides!!

Thank you so much Anna! We loved getting to be a part of your special day!
Gambino's Bakery did both our Groom's cake and dessert table for our wedding. Our wedding was a destination wedding, so I communicated with Gambino's only through phone and email. They were super quick to respond and always very informative.
I surprised my husband with a Groom's cake... and let's just say that the cake that Gambino's Bakery designed stole the show. Several months before the wedding, I asked if they could make my husband a Taco Bell cake (that's his favorite place to eat) and sent them several inspiration pictures. It was a huge hit. All of the vendors were crazy about it...even Taco Bell commented about the cake. We can't thank you enough! We highly recommend.

Thank you Katie! We loved working with you a creating such a fun groom's cake! We appreciate you taking the time to write such a great review!
I have always loved Gambino's so it was a no-brainer when it came time for our wedding cake! We were impressed with how easy the ordering process was. We ordered a 4-tier wedding cake and a 5-tier grooms king cake and both were extraordinary! Everyone loved both!! Can't recommend Gambino's enough!
Response from the Vendor on 10/31/2020
Thank you Meagan! We appreciate being a part of your special day:)
I am so happy that we chose Gambino's for our very unique wedding cake! I'm sure they thought we were crazy asking for a 5-tier king cake as our wedding cake but they were excited to do it and pulled it off beautifully! Not to mention the cake was absolutely delicious! I only wish there was more leftovers for me to munch on! Haha.
We also did a few trays of assorted desserts, which the guests absolutely loved. Thank you again, Gambino's team!!

We loved making this fun cake!
We were very impressed with our cake from Gambino's! The staff were friendly and everything from tasting to design and getting the cake to the venue was a smooth process! People have commented on how great the cake tasted, and how beautiful it looked! The price was beyond reasonable compared to other vendors we looked in to, and we loved the final product!

Thank you Jessica!!
Gambino's prepared our wedding cake and the cake for the grandchildren's cake pull. Both were absolutely wonderful. Jackie and her staff are great.
Delish!! Growing up I have always loved Gambino's. It was no question I wanted my cake from there. Tasting went great and booked right them and there. Everyone enjoyed it on the wedding night!

Thank YOU so much for the kind review. It means a lot to us,
We are so happy you were pleased with everything. Congratulations again!
Our cake was beautiful and delicious! I had several guests demand to know where it was from. All of my birthday cakes came from this Metairie location when I was a little girl and it felt like such a full-circle moment to have them do my wedding cake. Thank you to everyone who helped make such a gorgeous cake!

I want to thank Gambinos for making the BEST grooms cake for my daughters wedding.. they went above and beyond to help this mother of the bride who was totally clueless and made this experience easy and fun for the bride and groom.. I cant thank them enough and would definitely recommend them to all my friends.
