Tracy is amazing!! Our wedding cake was truly spectacular- from the 4 tier design with blue hydrangeas, to the taste- vanilla cake with raspberry jam and raspberry ganache filling and vanilla buttercream exterior- it was melt in your mouth good! Our wedding was in Sept 2022 and over a year later our guests and family members are STILL talking about the cake! Tracy was so helpful with her cake recommendations for the taste and the style. She took the vision out of my head and made it more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! If you are in CT you NEED to have Tracy make your wedding cake!
Tracy is truly an amazing pastry chef! Highly recommend her - the most artistic and delicious cake and pastries made for my surprise 60th birthday today!
If I could give more stars, I would! Tracy is amazing! I showed Tracy a cake design for inspiration, and she created something so beautiful and perfect that it surpassed our expectations (and looked so much better than the inspiration cake!). The taste of the cake was just as amazing as how the cake looked! Honestly, this might have been the best cake we ever had! Her passion and creativity are endless. I am still in awe of what she created. Thank you so much Tracy!!
We did not live in Conn and booked with no taste testing!
I am so glad we did after discussing our ideas with Tracy. We had mini cakes done and each one was different. The details on them were too beautiful to eat, but they were delicious.
HIGHLY recommend!
If you’re reading this, hire Tracy!! She recently made our wedding cake and it was absolutely delicious. Every flavor was top-quality, the attention to detail was fantastic, and Tracy is very kind and communicative. I can’t say enough good things about Tracy and her creations. We will definitely be ordering from her again for future events!
Do you want a cake that is beautiful and delicious?? Then don't waste your time with any other baker. Every single flavor of Tracy's cakes that we tasted was better than anything we had on any other tasting. All our guests raved about the lemon wedding cake Tracy at Madame Gateaux made for us and Tracy decorated it beautifully in exactly the style I asked for. I'm literally struggling to save the top tier for our first anniversary because the cake is so delicious I want to eat it now. Save yourself the hassle of tasting inferior cakes and just contact Tracy.
I ordered custom cookies from Chef Tracy for my daughters baby shower. The exceeded expetations! All the guest complimented me on the presentation, artistry & taste! Would definitely use her in the future for all my party favors/desserts!!!
(would love to post photos, but don't see an option for that here)
Tracy made us the most beautiful and delicious wedding cake! Perfect in every way and beyond our expectations!
Do you yourself a favor and reach out to Tracy for your wedding desserts! Tracy was able to work with us on a tight timeline, organize a wonderful take home tasting, and made a delicious cake and cupcakes for our reception. I am beyond happy that she was able to help us achieve our vision and so we’re our guests. We didn’t stop hearing about how great the desserts were all night! We would highly recommend going with Madame Gateaux Custom Cakes!!
We ordered my daughter’s wedding cake and cupcakes from Madame Gateaux after doing a tasting. Tracy was wonderful to work with; very flexible, helpful and communicative. The cake and cupcakes tasted great and were beautifully decorated. Tracy delivered and set up the cake and cupcakes on a tiered stand herself. We loved working with her. Such a kind and wonderful person. I highly recommend her.
Tracy is a truly amazing pastry chef. The wedding cake she made for our wedding last August was stunning and exactly what we wanted. It was absolutely delicious too! I have also used Tracy's services for baby showers and other events, and she is always able to create exactly what I imagine - cakes, cookies, cupcakes - even better than I had pictured. I would highly recommend Madame Gateaux for your wedding needs.
Just starting to come down from the high of our wedding and couldn't wait to review Tracys services. She was easy to work with and made sure she had all the details right to make our cake and cupcakes exactly what we were looking for. The flavors were AMAZING and our guests raved. Our cutting cake was adorable and the little details for our cupcakes were perfect. Thanks so much Tracy!
First off, Tracy is amazing!! She is so great to work with and perfectly created our wedding dessert table with such detail as well as our small wedding cake. Her desserts are so so so delicious and we are already trying to figure out when we can reach out to her again. All of our guests were raving about how much they enjoyed the mini cannolis and cupcakes. Tracy has a great selection of flavors of cakes and frosting, as well as types of pastries and other desserts to choose from. Even when we didn’t see something we were looking for, when we asked, she was flexible and willing to make to it for us. Her sugar art is also amazing and intricate. She made us little blue hydrangea flowers to go on some of our cupcakes. They were so beautiful. We highly recommend using her for any of your wedding event desserts or favors!
Working with Tracy from Madame Gateaux Cakes was absolutely wonderful! She is talented, flexible, kind and her work is as stunning as it is delicious. She was flexible during this pandemic crazy time and just worked with my daughter and myself until the vision of the cake my daughter wanted was brought to reality. We even ordered from her other pastries and cupcakes for family gatherings before and after the wedding. They were all just delicious! The quality of my daughter's wedding cake was second to none--her baking and design work is high end quality. I will definitely use her again in the future to order cakes and pastries. So glad we found Tracy! I highly recommend Tracy Celentano for making your wedding cake! You will be so happy you found her, just like me!
We couldn’t have been happier with our decision to get our wedding cake from Tracy! From the first time we spoke, we knew she was going to be amazing to work with! Due to Covid restrictions we couldn’t have a traditional tasting, so Tracy made us a box of the most amazing cakes to sample- so so delicious!! We ordered cupcakes for a few occasions before our wedding because we just couldn’t wait to have her cakes again, and each time they came out absolutely gorgeous and beyond our expectations in every way! Our wedding cake turned out better than we could have imagined and we added on last minute dessert assortment plates for each table at our wedding which were also absolutely delicious! We got so many compliments on how amazing everything came out! We will certainly continue ordering from Tracy for all our baked needs!! (And wants!) We loves working with Tracy so much! She was beyond kind, accommodating, honest, and her talent is unmatched. Thank you Tracy!!! We will be recommending you to anyone and everyone who needs baked goods for any occasion!!
Tracy is the most professional sugar artist I have ever worked with. She created the most beautiful cake and cookies for our special occasion. Given the circumstances with COVID, we had to postpone our initial date. Not only was Tracy very responsive and flexible, she exceeded our expectations. The cake and cookies were delicious and every guest left our event raving about the desserts. I will definitely be going to Tracy for future parties and recommending her to all of my friends.
WOW. Tracy’s cakes and desserts are AMAZING!! The cake was not only beautiful, but I can honestly say that her cake is the first wedding cake I have actually ENJOYED. We went with a fall theme and she made the apple spice cake for us. It was incredible and the guests were raving!
Beautiful and delicious cake!!! Was wonderful to work with and gave us exactly what we had imagined! Check out her instagram- she makes beautiful and creative cakes! Book her now!!! Thank you so much!!!
If you are looking for delicious and beautifully made desserts for your event - do yourself a favor and hire Tracy!! My family hired Tracy for my Tea-Party themed Bridal Shower and she created the most beautful and decadant tarts and scones. It made the day feel so special! In addition, Tracy baked nearly 20 pies for my Wedding (in lieu of cake) and they were probably the most delicious pies I've ever tasted. My guests could not stop raving about the desserts that night!! Tracy also happens to be one of the warmest, most sincere, and loving people that I know. You can sense that she puts the utmost love and care into every single one of her desserts - her attention to detail, and presentation go above and beyond. I am so grateful that I chose to work with her!
Tracy was absolutely fantastic. She is an amazing artist, and she truly takes pride in her work. She made our wedding favors - custom cookies of our dog - and guests raved about the design and taste for weeks. We were so pleased with her work and service that we also worked with her in designing a cake for my sister's baby shower. Her bear-themed cake was adorable and delicious. We will continue to connect with Tracy for future events!
You need look no further for the gateaux of your dreams! Tracy's confections are a delight for the senses and she is an absolute delight to work with. Tracy takes the time to get to know you, understand your vision, and walk you through her planning and execution process. My partner and I can attest to the quality of her bakes- we celebrated our 1st anniversary earlier this month by cutting into the top tier of our cake and it was truly as fresh and flavorful as it was on our wedding day. Its so clear in her work that she is a seasoned professional who is passionate about her craft. Thank you Tracy <3
Madame Gateaux created four cakes for special events I have hosted in the last two years. Each cake was creative, classic, and classy. One was a multi-layered beauty that featured a different theme on each level that traced the events in a year of special trips featuring logos, signatures, and sculpted pieces related to writing. A unique scroll listed the names of the 17 people being honored on this occasion. It was a huge hit.
Another cake featured all of the elements from the novel To Kill a Mockingbird: the porch; the tree; marbles; pocket watch; coins; pocketknife. It was spectacular; it told a story almost better than the novel itself!
The "science" cake celebrated the many paths where astrophysics met biology. The sculpted Earth sat atop stacks of books and stars and satellites amidst the human anatomy. Simply awesome.
The cake dedicated to art and artists was, itself, a work of art. It featured replicas of famous masterpieces, art materials, and street signs leading to The Met and the Guggenheim. It was topped with an easel holding a self-portrait of one of our guests.
Tracy Celantano's sculpting skills are unlimited. Every detail I imagined was delicately and flawlessly executed in these very challenging cakes. By the way, the actual cakes were delicious. They were made of every possible combination of flavors and every one was a delight. Madame Gateaux takes "custom" cakes to infinity and beyond. Creative, classic, and classy.
The wedding cake Tracy made for me was both delicious and a masterpiece. She was able to artistically create a complicated design that I fell in love with. Her truffles that she made for wedding favors were decadent. I got so many compliments!! She was professional and had great ideas to make my day special and unique. Thank you Tracy!!
She did an excellent job on my parent’s two tiered, 40th Anniversary cake and worked with my outlandish Customized Design requests to meet my visual needs. It tasted amazing and looked great. Thank you Madame! I receiv d many compliments.
Our cake that Tracy made is still being talked about. It was perfect! We were blending a family and very much wanted our kids to be a part of the big day. Tracy hand made sugar figurines of all our kids and my husband and I (uncanny resemblance) on top of the cake with the kids on different tiers. It literally brought tears to peoples eyes. She is professional, detail oriented and a perfectionist. Her cake made our special day that much more incredible. Not to mention delicious! People still call me for pictures and her name. ❤️
I thank my lucky stars for bringing me to Tracy from Madame Gâteaux! She was so kind and easy to work with. I showed her a picture and she made our cake even BETTER than the magazine photo. It was a fondant, four-tier cake with sugar flowers that wrapped the entire cake. The attention to detail was just unreal. Our guests were talking about the cake all night. They said...not only did it LOOK beautiful, but it TASTED just as fab!!
Book Madame Gateaux for your cake now!!! You will absolutely not regret it!! Tracy created the wedding cake of our dreams!! We had a rustic natural feeling wedding and Tracy went over some ideas with us and the day-of delivered the most AMAZING three tier birch tree wedding cake ever! It was something out of a fairy woodland fantasy! We got compliments on everything from the different flavors of the cake, the gorgeous wood look and all the tiny amazing details like flowers, toadstool mushrooms and moss. Her attention to detail and creativity is second to none and she also happens to be one of the nicest, sweetest people I know! To this day I still get compliments on my wedding cake!!
Tracy made us the perfect wedding cake for our wedding in October of 2017! We asked her for something smaller because our venue was providing a Venetian table for guests. We wanted something big enough for our bridal party and ourselves to enjoy. Not only were in awe at how beautiful our cake was, but it tasted amazing too! We will always think of Tracy’s cake when we look back at our wedding. ♥️
I could not be happier with our wedding cake from Madame Gateaux! We trusted Tracy completely with all the details and could not be happier with how it turned out! We gave her our vision and she brought it to life! We had a rustic fall themed wedding and she was able to make our cake look like real birch wood with realistic leaves and mushrooms. It is our favorite detail about the wedding! Not only was the outside exquisite! But the flavors were amazingly delicious as well on the inside! We had four tiers and Tracy was able to make each one a different flavor. The guests could not stop talking about our cake. Tracy has been and will continue to be our go to cake person! You can not go wrong with a personalized Tracy cake!
Chef Tracy was an absolute dream to work with! She has such a great attitude and her skills are unmatched. She hand painted our very detailed design right on the fondant covered cake. It looked and tasted amazing! The guests are still talking about it! The venue was also impressed with how prompt and helpful she was setting up the cake table. I highly recommend Madame Gateaux for all your cake and pastry needs!
Tracy made us the most perfect and delicious cake! We only wanted a smaller 2 layer cake since we had a dessert table and it was difficult to find anyone who would make a smaller wedding cake until we found Madame Gateaux. Tracy listened to all of my ideas and collaborated with me to create a very personalized cake of my dreams. Her sugar flowers looked so realistic and it was so tasty!
My husband and I saved the top of the cake to eat on our first anniversary and with Tracy's instructions on how to save it, 1 year later it was just as delicious and moist (unlike what I've heard from friends that saved their cake!) I highly recommend Madame Gateaux Custom Cakes. You will be happy you chose Madame Gateaux.
Madame Gateaux Custom Cake and Pastry Studio exceeded our expectations! Tracy was a pleasure to work with. She was dedicated to ensuring our vision became a reality. Not only was the design of the cake stunning, it was delicious! If you are looking for a professional, courteous cake vendor who is fun to work with, we highly recommend Tracy.
Tracy at Madame Gâteaux made the cake for our wedding and it was even better than we imagined! Ours was a three tiered coconut cake with passion fruit filling and Swiss buttercream frosting. Not only was it beautifully decorated but it tasted amazing! Our wedding guests could not stop telling us how lip-smackingly scrumptious it was. Too often we're so focused on how pretty the cake is, we forget to consider what it will taste like. I can assure you that with a cake from Madame Gâteaux you will be overjoyed with both its beauty and flavor!
