The cake is a 6 out of 5 stars. I ordered my wedding cake from cake man raven and if you know…read moreanything about cake man raven you can guess what took place when I arrived for my scheduled pickup. They had no record of my order. I walked out with somebody else's order of two sheet cakes. The chef at my wedding spot made a wedding cake on the spot out of the two sheet cakes. When I said "cake man raven" in response to the question of what happened, she just said "ahh.." and nodded, no other explanation necessary. She was a cake man raven vet apparently. The wedding guests devoured the cake. The entire wedding went silent with people heads down eating every crumb of that cake. So many people said it was some of the best cake they have had. Do I bring this high stakes wedding cake story up to cake man raven when I drive to Harem from Brooklyn after exchanging text messages for an order? No, I don't bring it up. I'm just happy the man eventually brings the cake. Enjoy the cake, don't expect change (or plan your wedding with this cake) and you will be ok. Play it cool and show up somewhere with a cake man raven cake where they don't know the deal, then watch them fall in love with the cake and attempt to reproduce your feat of procuring a cake man raven cake. Sit back and enjoy (play dumb) as they tell you their own rookie story of attempting to conduct a routine cake transaction with cake man raven.

This is a well known bakery right in the heart of the South Bronx! (BX Stand Up!) I've brought the…read moresame cake from this place years ago. The customer service, the cake, & the taste was all the same as what it was before. AMAZING! I got the fresh strawberry shortcake with crackers all around for a friend's birthday. I was able to get the bakery to write on the cake and buy candles for the cake as well. They boxed it up for me nicely and safely so the cake wouldn't mess up. When I brought the cake to the party it was the main attraction at the end of the night. The cake was sliced and served. Once the guest had that first bite they were taken aback at how BOMB the cake was! They said it was the perfect kind of sweet. Not overly sweet like other cakes and how it tasted so fresh and delicious. Awww man I need you to experience it for yourself! This cake in particular has me in a chokehold! Their other pastries also look equally amazing on display. COME TO ARTUSO!

As soon as you step inside, you're taken by how large and how clean Artuso is. It is very well lit, and all of these things make it very easy for you to focus on those glass cases full of sweets. Their selection is extremely large and contains all that you would expect (biscotti, rainbow cookies, b&w's, pignolis, etc) as well as Italian ice and various other treats. The line moved fast, and the workers were extremely helpful as we ordered our rainbow cookies and pignoli cookies with cannoli cream. The pignoli were great...they had that signature almond taste, just right. Very enjoyable. And the cannoli cream center was a nice touch, and very good as well. The rainbow cookies were ok. Admittedly, I have a very high bar for rainbows, so I hold them to a high standard...and they were good, just not as flavorful/almondy as I particularly prefer. In all, Artuso is a great stop. A perfect post lunch/dinner spot to grab a quick snack to cap off a meal. Definitely check it out.

I ordered their classic carrot cake with raisins. The cake was moist, warm, and not too sweet. My only pet peeve is I wish the cake was two layers so that the frosting was in the middle as well. I would have also appreciated a tangier cream cheese frosting. All that to say, it was not the best carrot cake I've ever had but it was pretty damn good and they're a Bronx institution.

I was finally in the area and stopped by for a sweet treat. This location isn't quite your typical bakery where they have cakes and desserts on display and seating. It's a no frills, grab-and-go type of place. As for the carrot cake, it's soft, tastes homemade, and if you don't have an allergy or preference, definitely get the one with walnuts & raisins. The carrot cake was soft and the crunchiness of the walnuts complimented the texture well. I wish the cake was a bit more moist or fresh but the flavors were definitely there and the cream cheese frosting was so balanced yet decadent. Good try!

For Thanksgiving , so fine there was only about three or four strawberries in this whole cake After calling the bakery, I was told to take a picture of the cake and email it. I told the gentleman Jerome that works there. No, I was not doing that because she should've told me from the door. She wasn't able to make the cake my suggestions don't waste your time going or ordering anything because she's gonna do what she wants to do and you know what as us trying to support our small businesses they have to support the community just as well When you pay for something you're supposed to get what you want. This will be my last time ordering at that location.. I will put zero stars

(mid ranged price ) Just to let you know: on my last visit, it looked like the UNITED NATIONS in there: All walks of life leaving with a smile! This is a down home, small intimate bakery with a huge kitchen in the back. No fancy ambiance, just lovely foods stacked up and a place to do custom ordering.... Just the way a community bakery should look like.
