Peter made us the most impressive wedding cake. It was moist, delicious and absolutely beautiful.
Lucibello’s was recommended to me by my sister, who had gotten her wedding cake there. My now-husband and I had a great time going into the shop to try different cakes, and Peter w...
orked with us to figure out exactly the flavors that we wanted. I provided a picture that I came across on Pinterest, and Lucibello’s recreated it. The cake was more beautiful and delicious than I could have imagined! I couldn't recommend Lucibello’s more for wedding cakes and desserts!
Lucibellos did a wonderful job with our wedding cake. I am gluten free so he was able to make one layer gluten free cake and the rest regular cake. The gluten free cake was amazing...
. They were very easy to work with and I will definitely be going back to them for any cakes I may need in the future.
Our wedding was so amazing and beautiful. If I could've drawn up exactly what we wanted this would've been it. Friends and family are still talking about how delicious the cake was...
, I am finding myself stopping my hubby from taking out our top tier from the freezer and eating it! But truly our wedding cake was truly delicious. Working with Peter was so easy, and his customer service is out of this world. With everything going on when planning a wedding, it's not to not worry about the cake when the Bakery is awesome itself. Thank you again for helping make our day wonderful!

in-person cake tasting really helped up solidify our decision to go with Lucibello's. Peter worked with us to create a small cake topper and also have two different kinds of cupcakes for guests to enjoy. The cake topper was for our cake cutting and to save for our 1-year anniversary. I am so happy we went with this option! The cake and cupcakes were drool worthy. We went with the marble and red velvet for the two cupcake flavors. They were a HIT with our guests too! Thank you Peter, for making our wedding day delicious!
My favorite pastry place. We ordered a cake and an assortment of small pastries for our wedding and it was all delicious and no-fuss.
Amazing! Not only are their pastries amazing, but they are all so kind. From our cake testing, which they thoughtfully made very COVID safe, to our two wedding days, Lucibello's wa...

Lucibello’s made my dream wedding cake! I went for a tasting with my mom and sister at multiple cake shops, but as soon as we went into this shop, I had a good feeling. While tasti...
ng, we all immediately fell in love with the raspberry filling and homemade buttercream frosting. I had about 40 photos of cake designs, but Peter (the owner) helped me discover exactly what I wanted and was extremely flexible, yet realistic, with cake size and decorations. Peter was an absolute pleasure to work with, he listened to me and really cared about my input. The cake ended up looking exactly as planned and tasted even better than I remembered! Guests loved it, too!!
Peter and his team were fantastic to work with! The cake was fabulous and our guests raved about it for days (Italian rum with bananas and strawberries). The design was exactly wha...

tation but the moist cake with the best possible icing!! Additionally, they provided a wonderfully selection of their Italian cookies for later in the evening. Sadly, they all disappeared!! A real baker with great panache!
Peter, the owner of Lucibello's, took the time to give my now-husband & I the full explanation & all pertinent information on how the cake tasting & ordering process goes. He also...
provided us with adequate time to make our selections, and from start to finish, from inquiry to cake tasting session to final delivered cake, there was nothing but excellent quality & service from Peter and all of his wonderful staff.
Our cake was customized just as we wanted it, and for a 3 tiered octagonal cake of 2 different varieties (the center tier was their marble cake, while the top & base tiers were their traditional Italian cream cake with both chocolate & vanilla custard, strawberry & pineapple fruit filling and rum flavoring), we paid a total of $250 ($10 extra for the rhinestone ribbon my groom selected to adorn the cake). We didn't even have to pay extra for the local delivery to our in-town reception destination (not necessarily so with all bakeries, from what I'd found out in my wedding cake research). There was a wonderful assortment of shapes of cake to select from (round, square, and octagonal), in addition to varied decor options. To go with our wedding colors, we selected a pale ivory buttercream frosting, with cherry red scrollwork decor and the red rhinestone ribbon. They did have an excellent selection of gum paste floral cake decorations, and some cake toppers available for purchase, but we opted to decline these available features (which were never pushed on us) and simply bring our own cake topper to the bakery.
Their hours are great, they accept (as of summer of 2014, at least, when we made our purchase) both cash & credit cards, and allowed us to either leave a deposit or pay in full at the time of the cake order (we opted to pay in full to make everything even smoother come our wedding day). If you select this bakery for your wedding cake, you will be pleased as punch with both the quality product results and the honest, caring customer service you receive from the folks at Lucibello's. I only wish I could post a photo from our wedding to show you all the gorgeous final result of our cake!
My now-spouse and I were unhappy to learn that most wedding cakes (at least those we could find locally) are "frosted" with fondant or "European" buttercream frosting. The latter i...
s fairly tasteless, and has a bland, uniform texture. We were delighted to find, however, that Lucibello's offers excellent frosting, reminiscent of the birthday cakes of our childhood (minus the preservatives and eerily saturated colors). Our cake was decorated with adorable sugar flowers, garlands, and piped borders. The cake itself was delicious - we chose a marble cake, but there are several other options available. The staff was friendly and attentive to our requests.
I had wanted a beachy type cake. He said we could do whatever we want. We gave him a picture, and he made it perfect! Wish I could include a picture! The only thing that was a bit ...
of a pain in the butt was that we had to get any 'accessories', like we had a beachy type fence and chocolate shells.It's okay though, it worked out quite well.

rent flavor then what we tasted. i wanted a very, very simple, plain design and they did a completely different design.
Peter at Lucibello's was great. We couldn't decide on banana nut or strawberry. My husband loves strawberry cake but we didn't think all the guests would love it. Peter made our...
wedding cake banana nut and made individual cakes for me and my husband that were strawberry. It was a nice surprise the day of our wedding.
