    This is the cake I received, air-bubbles, bleeding pearls and two white roses. The red roses I added last minute.

    Calculated Confections is ridiculously overpriced and not very talented and the quality such a disappointment. I had ordered a cake for 50th bday party. Picture 1 (Color White) - was the cake I ordered, asked multiple times can you do this exactly how it's shown in the picture * only different color change and both father and daughter "Yes, yes.!" Picture 2 (Color Pink) - was the result of their "Yes, yes". Had I known the quality would be so low I wouldn't have even gone there. I added red roses to make it look decent. The cake rotted in 1 day, how's that for quality? Disgusting! Absolutely disgusting! I've ordered cakes every year for past 20 year and never once that happen, absolutely disgusting. They price like it's a cake from LADY M CAKE BOUTIQUE - Upper East Side. ***** Pictures I've attached clearly points out the lack of talent, quality and professionalism. I only wish I had pictures of the rotten cake, I was so furious and didn't think to take any pictures. If I had the time I would've baked and decorate a cake myself! Save your money and do research before placing a order at this dump of a bakery. I was embarrassed to send home pieces with my guests.

    New local bakery alert! In town visiting the parents and they mention a craving for something sweet. I decided to do a quick search to see if options have improved since a lot of the shops around here are only open 3-4/week. Calculated Confections popped up as being recently opened. The interior is clean with a small seating area. The owner came out to greet me and shared that she was working in the finance industry for 20 years before deciding to branch out and start her own business, hence the name Calculated Confections. Every day she posts a math problem on the blackboard and awards a baked goodie to the first few customers who can solve the equation. She had a nice selection of brownies with or without nuts, g-free and egg free chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal cookies, scones, rolls, cupcakes, cheesecakes, cannolis, and cake slices. My parents split the chocolate cake while I had the red velvet cupcake and a chocolate chip cookie that I won from solving the math problem. They liked how the cake wasn't too sweet and was moist. The cookie was very good and the icing on the red velvet was good but the actual cupcake was missing something - it was still good, just lacking that classic red velvet flavor. I highly recommend this place. It's right on 52 and just a short walk to the rail trail entrance. I'll definitely be back to try the cafe menu.

    Highly recommend! Calculated Confections made a strawberry margarita cake for me on fairly short notice. The cake was absolutely stunning and beyond delicious- everything a cake should be, fluffy, moist, and creamy. They kept me up to date with when it would be ready and ordering online was so easy. I will most definitely be returning.

    I cannot say enough about this sweet baker and bakery. I knew that someone started a bakery but hadn't had a chance to stop in. I finally made a point to stop in last weekend and I could not be happier. We ordered a few cupcakes and she brought them out to the car due to the pandemic. They were delicious!!! They were much larger than a normal cupcake, moist, with light and airy frosting. Since we have two birthdays in the house this weekend we ordered a couple of cakes. They were amazing! Moist, with the perfect amount of icing, and beautifully decorated. Truly - THIS is the type of small business that we need to support so that they can thrive when the pandemic is over. Just delicious!!

    Confection Perfection!!! Should be the name of this bakery Whoa ... THIS bakery is fantastic. We had her homemade scones & cupcakes since she opened so my husband wanted to order a Tiramisu cake for his birthday. The owner said she never made one before but would give it a try. We were game. We LOVE "homemade" over store bought, especially for desserts. On pick-up it looked PERFECT. When I sliced into it, it was like slicing French butter with a warm bread knife. Taste?! Off the chart delicious. Unbelievable!!! Best Tiramasu we ever had. Over the top melt in your mouth savory, not too sweet, super creamy ... just the right amount of every ingredient. Not one overpowered the other. We've had Tiramasu at some of the finest Italian restaurants & patisseries in major U.S. cities & abroad, including Paris. This lady can bake. No kidding. Ten stars

    Thanks to a friend for the referral to La Deliziosa in the Little Italy section of Poughkeepsie…read more Back in the day, this area was busy and now it's not. We did sit outside after 5 and it got busy as folks drove in and walked up after work. So, for us..I told hubby he didn't need to buy anything because he already had sweets in the hotel room. However once he had a look at the cases, he just had to buy something! His favorite is the lobster tail and cannoli and I had to get the black and white cookie. We sat outside and since I had to be on a call, hubby went in for a strawberry ice. No chocolate until the weekend . A couple of bites of the black and white cookie for me right away. It's not overly make my teeth rattle sweet and the crumb is very much like a cake. I ate the rest after dinner and it quickly had hardened. Hubby LOVED the lobster tail. 5 out of 5. Hubby took a taste of the cannoli and gave it a thumbs up. He enjoyed the water ice more than Ralph's because it wasn't as icy. Local businesses are so important to the local community and it seems that La Deliziosa is holding its own. Regardless let's keep them going!

Everything was totally fine and normal until I asked for a receipt. Employee: Why, is someone buying your food? Me: Yes actually (my mother in law was paying for the food, she was sitting in the car) Employee: Oh, do they buy your clothes too? Me: No? Employee: Well you should work on that. Now I kinda laughed it off and left. I was working in my yard so my shirt had some dirt on it. The entire ride home I was trying to give her the benefit of the doubt that she didn't mean anything rude by it. I was talking to my family going over every possible interpretation of what she could have meant. But after reading several reviews about how rude she is, I have accepted that she was literally insulting my appearance and the way I looked. I honestly can't remember the last time someone was rude just to be rude. Also, please know that I will be contacting the BBB, making an entire post about it on the Wallkill/Walden Facebook groups and Neighborhoods. The fact that there are so many bad reviews about this one person and she is still there tells me that either management simply doesn't care or she is the owner. I will do my part in making sure everyone knows to never go to this place ever again.

Wright's Farm in Gardiner is exactly that kind of place. Established in 1904, this beautiful family farm offers an incredible selection of fresh produce, delicious baked goods, homemade jams, honey, pickles, breads, plants, and so much more. I was especially impressed by their greenhouse operation, which includes both hydroponic and aquaponic growing systems. They grow fresh lettuce, cucumbers, and strawberries right on the property using innovative growing methods. The farm itself is beautiful, with apple and peach orchards, fields of wildflowers, and plenty of seasonal produce. There's also a great selection of perennial plants for anyone looking to add something new to their garden. And there's even a brewery right on the property, making Wright's Farm more than just a place to pick up groceries. It's a destination to explore, shop, eat, drink, and enjoy the beauty of the Hudson Valley. From the incredible selection of locally produced foods to the beautiful landscape and innovative farming practices, Wright's Farm was definitely a highlight of our visit. Fresh food, local farms, beautiful scenery, and a true Hudson Valley experience. I'm looking forward to coming back.

Walking inside, it's a different experience at Wright's Farm. This visit, I want to buy a bottle of local wine and some local cheese then go back to the hotel. I see there is a very nice selection of Hudson Valley and regional wines. I also buy a nice local, spreadable cheese along with some crackers. I noticed towards the back, I see a wall of homemade jams. And they're all packaged in these cute mason jars! Strawberry Jelly is a must but then we went a little nutzo with a few more jam flavors as well as homemade apple sauces, fresh cheeses and pickles! Sunday, its check out time and we're heading back to Long Island after breakfast. My wife said we need to go shopping for dinner today. I said, Let's go back to Wright's Farm and pick up dinner? And this was the highlight of our trip. In the cold cases, I see homemade ravioli, one of the stuffings was corn? I had plans to stop in The Bronx and get a few boxes of Raviolis. I gambled and said lets try their corn ravioli. O.M.G. This ravioli was fantastic! My wife made it with fresh sage from our herb garden. It was a little pricey but it was better than anything I had this year. For the week, we bought a large ham steak and a ham hock for pea soup. I saw something interesting, a black futsu squash? I told my wife, lets buy one and take a chance. Amazing! My wife cooked this squash and it came out deelish. Dessert? My sons inhaled the apple cider doughnuts we bought home for them. Wright's Farm, it was a pleasant surprise to discover your local farmstand.
