Palermo Bakery

d wanted and made things much more stress-free for myself. Leighann was such a huge help to me! And come wedding day – the cake was so gorgeous! We went with the cannoli and cookies & cream flavors and our guests absolutely loved it! We had a few slices leftover after the wedding and it was still so good! My husband and I are looking forward to enjoying the rest of our cake at our 1 year anniversary next year :)

the cake itself was a little stale. However, we were pleased with how the cake looked on our wedding day and many guests said that the cake tasted great!

e and we had the best night at home making a date night out of cake testing! All of our communication with them was via e-mail and they were incredibly responsive and EASY to work with. We chose a cake that was in the included package, a design we had seen on their website, and it was probably the easiest part of our wedding planning process. The cake day of was DELICIOUS and absolutely perfect. Our florist added fresh flowers to it and really pulled the whole look together. I can't recommend Palermo Bakery enough for so many reasons- easy to work with, professional, responsive, and a delicious and gorgeous cake.

went with French Raspberry and Chocolate Pudding. My florist (Gray’s Florist) decorated with fresh flowers - I thought it was so beautiful!

reat. We are still enjoying our leftovers.

he cake and the flavors were incredible! THANK YOU SO MUCH PALERMO'S!!

s from our guests about how good the cake was! We had such a great experience working with them. We did not have to stress about our cake one bit!

r had an issue. Our cake was absolutely gorgeous and delicious, and exactly what we requested 3 years prior. I would definitely recommend Palermo's.

our way. Palermo’s is by far the largest bakery in NJ so they’re very organized, but responses took a while (hence the score). The cake itself was great! We got to choose 2 flavors and added to our layers for a very minimal cost. It was beautiful and delicious.

st naked tiers and smooth/textured iced tiers since the pop pieces for our cake were the flowers our florist added day of. The only request we had was several white chocolate drips on the cake which when we received it, the drip was mistakenly in regular brown chocolate. Also, the cake was almost delivered to the wrong wedding venue. Luckily the bakery called to confirm a week before and I was able to correct the error. All in all, the cake was beautiful and we enjoyed eating it.

could create something similar which they assured us they could. What we got was nothing like we had initially shown and I was disappointed as it cost us a couple hundred extra dollars. Also, because of COVID we had to communicate via e-mail and at times the ball was dropped in our conversation and we had the same conversation multiple times often going weeks without a response. If you choose to use this bakery, be sure to keep your cake design on the simpler side.

hs before the wedding date. They confirmed receipt, but then no one contacted me to talk design of the cake. I reached out to them 3-4 weeks before my wedding and was able to pick me designs, but I wish the communication from them would have been a little better. The cake turned out beautiful and tasted great, so in the end, no complaints!

all absolutely seamless!

during the process!

s for this adjustment!

ere so great. When it came to the day of the wedding and seeing our cake it made everyone cheer. It looked and tasted so good. I surprised by husband with a Grooms Cake and damn it was impressive, the design was so vibrant and the Fondant dog they made on top( designed after our own dog) was spot on.

rs and what the cake would look like (shape and decor). The cake arrive exactly as we had expected, looking beautiful consisting of no fake cake as other bakers like to do. In addition, the cake itself was so moist! The frosting was incredible! It was fun to include 2 flavors for our guests to choose from.

ke was beautifully designed and I received so many compliments from my guests about how delicious the cake was. There was still cake left over when my husband and I returned from the honeymoon a week later, and the cake was still so moist! We ate leftover cake for days after our honeymoon.

the wedding cake because it was THAT good!

ecisions. We chose to go for an enhanced cake from the selections our venue provided and they surpassed our hopes! Our guests were delighted by both the gorgeous look of the cake AND the delicious taste of the cake. Thank you!!

able to taste all the cake flavor options and decide which to chose from. Cake was delicious and we have no complaints!

ven better than what I had remembered! They even have a beautiful bakery with so many other delicious treats. Definitely plan on having them replicate our top tier for our first anniversary!

were easy to communicate with when we had to reschedule our original reception. They helped us to order a small version of our cake for our Minimony, which was fantastically yummy. I'm rating them 4 out of 5 stars due to a mistake on our wedding cake. We had discussed about changing the top of our cake (removing the flowers) to accommodate our cake topper for our new reception date, but when we saw our cake at our reception the top of the cake was covered in flowers so it could not accommodate our cake topper, which was left at the base of the cake. While that was disappointing since we were so excited about our cake topper the cake was still amazing and delicious. It is a shame the venue throws out the rest of the cake (instead of offering leftovers to us or guests) except saving us our top layer, which was messed up and destroyed.

rainer for us PLUS they were very professional, organized, and communicated with us through the whole process. Go with Palermo's!! So delicious!

"no we won't like that one," but it was unbelievable! Tasted like FALL IN A CAKE and had no carrot chunks which is usually what I don't like about this flavor. And our wedding was in November so it was appropriate for the season! Our tasting was a great experience. Ariel spent so much time with us going through flavors and designs. My husband and I can't agree on anything so we appreciated her patience while watching us disagree. Don't overlook this place, it was a great choice!

of her way to make us feel like kings. The tasting was so fun and exciting and everything tasted great. It made our decision quite difficult! They were in contact with our venue directly so after we made our selections for the cake they confirmed all delivery and details with the venue. It took out a major stressor for us and the cake arrived BEAUTIFULLY. It was truly gorgeous and delicious. The guests were raving. We chose a naked style with Chocolate Mousse and Chocolate Fudge with a Buttercream Frosting. You should do the same. We can't wait to eat the top tier on our anniversary and come back to Palermo's for more cake and coffee and goodies!

eded our expectations! On our wedding day, we had a "first look" of the reception hall before our guests entered. Aside from my homemade centerpieces, the first thing I noticed was our beautiful wedding cake. It looked exactly as my husband and I pictured. From the white frosted roses to the intricate detail of the icing and the four perfect tiers, the only thing left was to taste it! We hoped it would be as good as when we originally tasted samples. The entire day flew by, and it was time to cut the cake. I must say, it was the most perfect bite of cake and not just because it was our wedding day. In the weeks after the wedding, our guests raved about the cake as well. We couldn't have asked for a better one.

and it turned out beautiful!

was hard to choose. They had a great selection of styles that we were able to stay within the wedding cake budget our venue gave us. The women who did the consultation was pleasant, efficient and really helped us decide on the wedding cake color and style. On the day of our wedding both my husband and I were so happy with how the cake came out and it was delicious! Many thanks :)

-free cakes that were DELICIOUS for me to try and day of I upgraded to have a small dairy free cake from them. I also ordered a groom’s cake that they delivered to the rehearsal dinner restaurant which was perfect and delicious. The reason I’m removing 2 stars is because it was difficult to get them to give me a final price for the groomsmen cake and it felt like they only gave me the price I wanted when I said I found another bakery to do it for less. Worst of all my dairy free cake day of tasted nothing like what I had at the tasting. Our regular cake was apparently good but mine tasted stale and dense when it was very fresh and airy at the tasting. I reached out to them post wedding to give them this feedback but never heard back. Oh well! Delicious otherwise :)

ong... it was nothing like we envision. Completely disappointed.

my emails. The cake was beautiful and delicious. Would definitely recommend them!

cious!

because it’s dry or boring- this was neither! We even had some a couple days later and it was still delicious. The cake was also gorgeous and the taste-testing and ordering process was fun and easy. Thank you for our amazing cake!

azing!

exactly as we discussed and tasted amazing. I'm actually excited to eat some again in 1 year! Highly recommend!

my brother and sister-in-law), which made for a special and memorable event. We selected a vanilla wedding cake with french cream & raspberry marmalade filling & a buttercream frosting. The cake came exactly as promised, looked great & tasted delicious. Since we got married on my birthday, my husband & mother-in-law surprised me at the end of our rehearsal dinner with a birthday cake from Palermo Bakery as well -- a decadent carrot cake with cream cheese frosting! I honestly don't think you could go wrong with these guys.

s (there were many!). The day of the wedding my cake arrives and looks even more beautiful in person, and the taste was amazing. The size of the cake was very generous for only 24 guests. I highly recommend this bakery.

s and tasted delicious! We got so many compliments :) Thank you!

layer on each tier! When we saw the cake, we were in absolute awe! It was absolutely perfect. Our guests actually thought it was fake! And it tasted absolutely amazing!

cent as its appearance. The compliments we received on it were endless. Thank you all for EVERYTHING. ♥️

hey did a great job matching our vision. All of our guests raved about how great the cake tasted!

he flavors would taste like, we thought the cake was amazing! It was exactly like the picture we picked out; simple and beautiful! I would definitely recommend this bakery if you are getting married in the Northern NJ area.

planning. The staff at Palermo's is clearly very busy, but they were able to meet all of our needs.

ut they offer by selective times, most during the work day. I was not taking off work to go cake tasting so I called them, at first the girl told me they had nothing available during the evenings or weekends before my wedding. I told her that was unacceptable as I was paying for them through my venue. She later transferred me to someone else who was able to "squeeze" us in. The day of the tasting I was so excited, I love to bake and love desserts. The girl we sat with nice. She offered us several upcharges that were not included in the venue package price. I was personally not impressed by any of the cakes that were presented to us but we made a decision none the less. When it came to the outside design, I already knew exactly what I wanted. She told me that to include a rhinestone ribbon along the bottom of each layer of the cake would be $150 upcharge. I thought to myself really?! for some ribbon?! I asked about, what if I provide my own? She informed me that I could do that but there was still a $75 "sanitation fee". I thought this was still a lot but since I had my heart set on it, forked over the $75 (I purchased the ribbon at Michaels for $3) Before purchasing the ribbon and dropping it off, I called to confirm the length needed for a 4 tier cake. The girl who I spoke to this time had no idea, she put me on hold while she tried to find out. Several minutes later she transferred me to someone else who also had no idea and "guessed about 12 yards". 12 yards?! NO WAY. I later confirmed with Jay, the girl we sat with at the tasting, 3 yards would be enough and I dropped off the ribbon. The day of the wedding, I see the cake and the ribbon that I took to them was CUT in HALF to have a tiny rhinestone border! Needless to say I was beyond annoyed. If I would not have purchased the ribbon myself, it would be one thing, but I know what I bought! Did they use the rest of my ribbon on someone else's cake and charge them the absurd $150 upcharge?

y. However, at the wedding she was completely floored by the taste as was my husband, who typically hates cake. Guests came up to us to share how much they loved it and many even look pieces home!

venue price at Casa Bianca and it tasted amazing. Would recommend for any special occasion!

, decide what we wanted and work with our florist to decorate our cake display. Delicious cake and great service!

st delicious cake I’ve ever had in my life. Need I say more? Five stars!!!

nnot hAve asked for better!

ptions as well. We decided on a dulce de leche and vanilla cake, as well as, a double chocolate cake for our main wedding cake and I ordered a GF vanilla and raspberry filling cake which was out of this world delicious! We received many compliments on how delicious the cake was and the design was also very beautiful! Thank you!

sal and Wedding and they were beautiful. Palermo carved a "mountain" out of cake for our Grooms Cake and did an excellent job depicting a ski slope close to our hearts, and our wedding cake was beautiful and elegant. The guests all remarked on the quality of the cake and were surprised to learn that they were dining on gluten free cake that evening. While there weren't many options for us in terms of flavor, we know the quality made up for it.

They were very flexible with our suggestions and worked around what we asked. We are very happy with having Palermo make our wedding cake!
