Hello Colleen,
Thank you so kindly for your lovely review. I will share your review with our entire team. We love to hear back from our newlyweds. Thank you for including Gambino's in your wedding day!
We wish you a life of happiness and hea...

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 weddi...
ng 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 !

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 ab...

Gambino’s did a beautiful job for my daughter’s wedding. The bride and groom cake were exactly as we ordered.
Response from the Vendor on 04/29/2023
Thank you so very much!! We certainly appreciate your kind review.

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!

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 brid...
e’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.

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.

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
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!
Response from the Vendor on 01/11/2023
Thank you so kindly for your sweet comments.
We will definitely share the review with our entire team.

The cakes turned out exactly...

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.

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 wit...
h 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.

Thank you for taking time to write a review too:)

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 cer...

They said that was no problem, it was terribly inexpensive for wedding cake, and it was absolutely delicious.

om'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!

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.
Response from the Vendor on 11/01/2020
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 pic...

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 an...

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.
Response from the Vendor on 05/15/2020
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! E...
veryone 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 ...

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 very much Monique! We appreciate your kind words. Congratulations again !
As a destination bride, I thought choosing desserts would be stressful as I wouldn't have the opportunity to taste anything during the planning process. Not an issue with Gambino's! They shipped a tasting box to our home in Michigan with a huge...
assortment of desserts for us to try. Everything was delicious which made narrowing it down the hard part! The day of our wedding, they not only delivered our desserts but did a great job setting up the dessert table (we opted for no traditional cake). It almost looked too good to eat! Our guests loved the desserts (as did we). I would absolutely hire Gambino's again and will definitely stop in for a sweet treat on our next trip to New Orleans!

Andrea, It was such a pleasure working with you. Thank you so much for the wonderful review!
Congratulations on your marriage!

Gambino's were perfect for our wedding! We've come to Gambino's before for doberge cakes and other desserts and they were always top notch quality. We knew that we wanted to have a doberge cake in addition to our wedding cake so we had Gambin...
o's do both of them and they were both beautiful and delicious. The bride's cake was 3 tiers and a mixture of wedding cake as well as yellow cake, some tiers with filling and some without.
The cake tasting process was also really fun because they gave us three samples for the cake flavors as well as a the filling flavors while we looked through their portfolio of cakes that they've decorated. We decided to go with a semi naked scraped cake and were able to come to the bakery a few weeks before the wedding to drop off the decorations we wanted and the overall result was more than what we were hoping for for our wedding cakes!

Theresa you are so sweet! Congratulations again on your marriage.
We appreciate your kindness.
My biggest gripe with my wedding day is that I we did not get enough of our cake to take home! It was delicious, moist, and beautiful. (As was the pecan pie that I took home after our tasting!)
Response from the Vendor on 05/13/2019
Thank you so much Cortney for your sweet comments! We really appreciate feedback from our brides. So happy you enjoyed everything.

Our wedding cake from Gambino's was amazing! Rebecca made our cake to our exact specifications, even applying the decorative flowers on the day of the wedding so they would look beautiful for pictures. Gambino's offers a (free) cake tasting so ...
that you can decide on what flavors you want for the cake, filling, and icing. We wanted something unique, so they added rainbow sprinkles to the batter, which created a great Funfetti effect. But 10x better than the boxed mix, of course. My husband also ordered a bunch of mini pies in place of a groom's cake. The few we were able to snatch from our guests were fantastic. Jackie Sue was the person who helped us place our order and everything, and she was lovely. This was a flawless experience. I can't recommend them enough.

Thank you Gambinos staff for making the most beautiful wedding cake for our wedding. Guests were raving at how delicious and how beautiful our cake was. Gambinos was a fair price for a 3 tier cake with flower decor that I had provided. There is...

Gambino’s did a wonderful job on our wedding cake! It was beautiful and also delicious! My biggest issue with wedding cakes are when they are dry, but ours was perfect! Working with Mrs. Jackie Sue was very easy as well. My husband’s groom cake...

Happy First Anniversary soon!
Cake tasting - great. We paid for our cake over the phone in October for our January wedding and thought everything was taken care of. I had my fiancé stop in to check if the flowers were ok for the cake and we were told they had no record of o...
ur cake, we were not scheduled on our wedding day. We freaked out and then they said the would call us the following day. The next day it was almost 3pm before I decided to give them a call myself, after giving the payment date they found a record of our cake. They did not act sorry for the mix up. I had asked for one simple change of the design to be an outline of a flour de lis from the picture that was in their bakery. On my wedding day I found out this detail had been left out. Completely careless after spending over $900 on a cake. Won’t be recommending them based on the amount of stress they caused.
Response from the Vendor on 01/07/2019
I am so sorry that your are so upset. We always had your order, Sarah. Unfortunately, neither of the wedding consultants ( Adrienne, Terez or Jackie-Sue) were in the store when your fiance came in to our location on Veterans. We did apolog...
ize for the inconvenience but absolutely assured you everything was good to go. In fact Terez called you first thing the next morning and we sent you a revised contract with the addition of the silk flowers at 12:58 pm. Your cake was absolutely beautiful! We love that you replicated the wedding cake that is hanging in a picture frame at our storefront. Our decorator, Alyssa went to Southern Oaks to assemble all the flowers to make sure everything was just right. The fleur di lis were on your 2nd tier from the top .
I am really sorry that you were disappointed. If you get a chance, maybe you can call or email us so we can discuss any issues with you. We certainly want you 100% happy! In fact we were hoping to find out your photographer so we could get professional pictures of the cake. The silk flowers were beautiful!! We loved the cake topper too:)) Congratulations on your wedding! Wishing you a life of health, happiness and love.

My husband and I had a great experience when we went to do our taste test. I had a great experience when I went in to pay my deposit and order his grooms cake. It seemed that everything was in order. They knew what we wanted and said that every...
thing would be done with the budget I had given. A week or so before my wedding I was told to submit photos of my cake and grooms cake ASAP. This caught by surprise because in any of the meetings was it mentioned that I needed to send them the photos. No big deal but I didn't like the ASAP part when I didn't know in the first place that it was needed. Anywho. My wedding cake was beautiful; it was what we talked about in our meetings. The grooms cake however *insert hand over face emoji* It was nothing like the picture I showed or that the lady showed me. I was very disappointed. In the email she sent about a picture she said she had it in their book (which is where I saw the cake) so I didn't feel the need to send the picture. OMG! I was so upset when I saw the cake at our wedding. Luckily my hubby still liked it but it was nothing like we talked about. Update: Gambinos called me to apologize after reading my original review. For that I give them 5 stars instead of 3. An apology means a lot to me. They recognize where things went wrong and apologized for it.
Response from the Vendor on 11/19/2019
We really appreciate your kindness. We thank you too for your honesty and working with us to resolve the issue. Happy first Anniversary in a couple weeks:)))
The cake was delicious and beautiful. They made sure we were completely satisfied at the cake tasting and answered any questions we had. I would definitely recommend them!

Lauren! Thank you so much for the kind words! We are so happy that you enjoyed the cake!
Congrats once again on your marriage.

Gambino's made this process so stress free and lovely. The cakes were PERFECT. I gave them a picture of what I wanted for the wedding cake, and their team absolutely nailed it. I gave them a general idea for the groom's cake, and we were blown ...
away by the final look. They definitely took my idea and made it a reality. They were almost too pretty to eat, but I'm glad I ate it because it was delicious! Get your cakes from Gambino's; you will not regret it!
Response from the Vendor on 11/23/2018
Your wedding cake was one of my favorites! I loved the design you chose! Thanks for taking the time write this about us!
Instead of one big cake, we chose four Gambino’s doberge cakes in different flavors for our wedding, and the guests were obsessed! One guest loved them so much he had 8 pieces.
Response from the Vendor on 11/23/2018
Thanks for writing this great review for us! We love doing nontraditional wedding cakes! So glad your guest enjoyed!
