But when I saw the cake in person, I was sooo happy! It looked very well put together. And I kept on telling everyone how excited I was about the cake! We ended up taking some of the cake home and though was in the fridge for a couple of days it was still moist and still tastes great. She doesn't charge a fortune either, I would definitely order from her again for my next party.

I've ordered several cakes from Sweet Chaos and I've had nothing but great reviews. One of my…read morefavorite fillings that they've managed to perfect is the Red Velvet filling with vanilla cream cheese layers (I am salivating as I write this by the way). Her pricing is absolutely under par.. I've purchased a designed cake from a bakery in Verona and paid three times what Sweet Chaos charged me for a custom made cake. I really recommend asking for some ideas on designing the cake or cupcakes - the vision that Amy has is beyond a few tiers of cake with different colored fondant.. it's a masterpiece the describes the event or the person. I have to emphasize how talented and professional Amy is and her ability to tailor a pastry to my liking.

When I needed to plan for my daughter's birthday, it was a no-brainer. Kaylyn was super communicative and helpful; I sent photos of my daughter's party invitation and she did the rest in terms of design. It was simply spectacular! Gorgeous beyond what I could even imagine. She was also helpful in discussing amounts (size of cake, amount of cupcakes, servings and leftovers) to make sure we had plenty without overdoing it. She never tried to get me to order more or spend more, which I respected. The morning of pickup, Kaylyn sent me abundant photos and videos of the cake and cupcakes and I was blown away! She was flexible with pickup at her house, provided cake cutting instructions and storage tips, and made the whole process easy. We received a ton of compliments at the party on how gorgeous the cake and cupcakes were, and the flavors were a hit! As delicious to the tummy as they are to the eye! I will definitely be using Sweetcheeks for our family parties going forward!

Frosting was fresh, fluffy and not too sweet. Cake had good flavor. It was light and fluffy so didnt feel like traditional Dominican cakes which are rich and denser. The filling was dulce de leche mixed with pineapple- a first for me as places usually have either dulce de leche alone and pineapple alone. It was a bit sweet as I usually do pineapple since I find dulce de leche in Dominican cake too sweet of a combination. -As of 03/2022, prices are: $4 for a slice $35 for 1/2 lb cake $60 for 1lb cake Overall good general cake (okay for a Dominican cake) at a decent price.

We have picked up multiple cakes for birthday and anniversary events from this bakery. The smell of bread and sugar can be smelled walking towards the store. There is always a line of people here waiting to get their goodies. My chocoholic little one who loves to try out chocolate lava cake from different restaurants and bakeries, thinks that this place has the best one! Very moist and indulgent! I have not seen very many bakeries that make the "Brown Derby" cake. It is chocolatey, yet light and refreshing with the fruit. They have a deli counter, but we have yet to try any of the items there, as we always walk out of there with many cookies and other treats. But, we will one day.

With all the old guard now in the history books I began searching for a new reliable bakery. Very first visit here and... I was on the fence. Second visit... okay, I'm a fan. Subsequent visits... actually I'm a big fan. From red velvet cookies to Sfogliatella to carrot cake - they have more than enough treats to quell your sweet tooth. The breads (the reason I find myself here most times) - incredible. Rolls (of varying sizes) as well as a damn perfect bastone (crunchy and flaky, ready to be piled high for a sandwich) not to mention... the almighty Pizza Bread?! Oh, yeah. A bit more rare to find but the only proper 'pane' if/when you're going to make an Italian hot dog. They also have a side/section with a full deli if savory is more your speed. Cool staff. Good pricing. Metered street parking but be warned... this one specific street feels more like a strip mall - with probably a dozen businesses (liquor stores to salons to fitness centers to a few restaurants to...) - all vying for those spots. (And if you ever need an icebreaker at a social gathering... tell 'em "da Vinci" wasn't actually Leonardo's last name. You're sure to be a hit at the party!)

Edit: I want to note that the comment below says pricing is reflected online. I just wanted to…read moreinclude some screenshots of the website to show that nowhere does it say writing a "happy birthday" on the cake and adding basic piping to the edges is going to cost $45. I still believe that should have been disclosed upon ordering. I want to start by saying that the staff was very kind, and both the ordering and pickup experiences were pleasant. Everyone I interacted with was nice, and I do want to give them credit for that. That said, the cake itself just was not very good, which was the biggest disappointment. We ordered a vanilla cake with Oreo filling for my son's birthday, and unfortunately it was dense, overly sweet, and overwhelming. I didn't see a single person finish their slice, and those who did take a bite to see if they wanted their own decided against it. We ended up cutting only about 10 slices, and more than half the cake was never even cut (and thrown away). For a cake that ended up costing $220 for 15-20 people, I expected something much better. I also did not realize until I saw my credit card statement the day of the party that the total was that high, and I was not told that the basic decoration/name would add another $45. I understand they are covering themselves by saying "may include fees" but for the basic cake If the cake had been expensive but delicious, I would have felt differently. But given the taste, the amount that went uneaten, and the lack of clarity around the final price, I would not order this cake again.
