We have been ordering our cakes here since we moved to Elizabeth! So far no disappointments, they always go above and beyond, cakes are always delicious

Jocelyn W.

Words cannot express how disappointed, embarrassed, and angry I was with this experience. To give you all some background: I went in with my expecting friend to taste test and quote a baby shower cake - an entire month in advance. The staff was very nice and professional in the beginning. We eventually settled on a two tiered, elephant, baby boy blue and gray design (and a friend added cake pops to the order). The total came out to $200 and some change and the date for pick up was set for Friday, July 29, 2016. In time for the shower scheduled for Saturday, July 30, 2016 at 12pm. Fast forward to the week of. Our order was knocked out of place. Meaning, another order took precedence over ours and the new pick up time was Saturday, July 30, 2016 at 11am. That's the day of the shower, an hour before the shower, and it takes an hour to get to the shower venue from the bakery. Do the math. The day of the shower arrived and in order to get the venue space ready - the expecting mother will now have to pick up the cake herself. What's even more inconvenient is that the cake was not ready at 11am as mentioned, it was ready by noon. Staff at the bakery text her asking that she contact them 45 minutes before she heads out to pick up the cake - they text her this a few minutes before 11am. The new time set was 11:30am. It still wasn't ready when she arrived by then. The mother, who the shower is for, is now late for her own baby shower by 1.5 to two hours. To my understanding, they claimed to have an issue with the oven. As unfortunate as that may be - that wasn't our fault. Here's the even more embarrassing part that also lessened my sympathy for this bakery. The cake and mother arrive to the shower around 1:30-2:00pm. We put the cake on display - it's lopsided at the base, the icing and fondant is sliding off. Everyone at the shower is taking pictures and questioning why the cake looks the way it does. We were forced to cut the cake way early and in the process - it all fell apart. All of it. The icing slid off, the tiers slid off. It was a disaster. The cake was not set at all. It's like it was literally baked (not well - I guess that's the issue with the over?), iced, put in a box and given to us. It was not refrigerated prior to at all. I'm very big on promoting small businesses and we wanted to give this place a chance. The reviews on Facebook were very good. But what I experienced here was atrocious. And for a half-assed cake, I need (at the very least), half our money back. I'm hoping the owner will reach out to resolve this. No one, no customer, should have to go through this on a special day. I will not promote this business or make recommendations until this has been made right. Update: The owner did contact me. He offered me half a refund and blamed everyone and every element, but for the fact their their bakery provided bad service and bad business. He also seemed more concerned that I posted negative reviews w/ proof on their Facebook and/or Yelp site - thus prompting a sudden surge of 5 star FB reviews after the fact. As we don't intend to use this vendor again - we'll let them have the $175 and will take our losses. Lesson learned.

I genuinely wish Yelp allowed me to give more than 5 stars, because this place deserves an 11/10…read morefor customer service alone. The first cake I ever ordered from Pinho's was a beautiful double-stacked birthday cake. The craftsmanship was incredible. It was artistic, aesthetically beautiful, extremely high quality, and tasted just as good as it looked. Unfortunately, after picking it up, we made a mistake transporting it in the car and the cake completely fell apart on the way home. This was entirely OUR fault, not the bakery's. We brought it back about an hour later hoping there was anything they could possibly do to save it. What happened next is the reason I'm writing this review. The owner went completely above and beyond for us. She stayed HOURS later than she needed to, personally working to rebuild and restore our cake. She somehow managed to bring it back to life and make it beautiful again. She didn't charge us anything for all that extra time and work, and then, incredibly, even gave us another cake on the side. That kind of kindness and dedication to a customer is something I won't forget. I'm back at Pinho's again now for another birthday because after that experience, choosing where to get the cake wasn't even a question. Their cakes are beautiful, creative, high quality, and absolutely delicious, but it's the people behind them that made me a returning customer. 5/5 for the cake. 11/10 for the service. Thank you again for what you did for us. You turned what could have been a birthday disaster into a memory we'll always have.

The people are so nice and friendly, and they're right next to Van Gogh's Ear so they have a great showcase for their baked treats! But that's not all - they are seriously amazing at customer service. We got a custom cake for my sister-in-law's bridal shower. On the way home, I braked a bit hard and the cake shifted. The fondant ribbon with the bride-and-groom-to-be's names on it broke right down the middle! I called in asking if it might be fixable, and they told me that the person who does the fondant and handwriting didn't work on weekends but they could try to fix it with gum paste. Since the shower was in 24 hours, we took what we could get and brought the cake back. When I arrived they said they were going to try to remake the fondant ribbon, and remake it they did - in hours, way faster than we could have asked or hoped for! Great people, seriously great people. I want to go there on the reg for any cakes or cookies from here on out.

The decoration was pristine, the ordering process was super easy online, and when I needed to reach out, communication by phone was seamless. The cake was ready right on time, beautifully designed, and you could tell it was made with so much love and care. Highly recommend Jammed Up Bakery -- they truly deliver both in taste and presentation!

I'm a sucker for miniature cupcakes from a cuteness perspective but do hold them to a high standard…read morefor taste -- they have to live up to the fantasy to get a 5-star like this. Because they usually disappoint in the flavor department, I try to manage expectations. A friend served these at dinner last night and I smiled politely before my first bite but man-oh-man do they live up to the tiny perfection of their appearance. Light, airy cake, both chocolate and vanilla-based -- already pretty unusual. But some with added surprise touches of chips or sprinkles in exactly right proportions. And the frosting, just...WOW. Holy Toledo. Fluffy clouds of delicate buttercream, not a hint of greasiness or grinding sugar!!! With actual flavor of fruit in the strawberry and lemon and vanilla in the white toppings. My dream frosting in precisely the right amount relative to itty-bitty cake size. Remarkably, as tiny ones tend to quickly stakes, they are tasting just as amazing the next day, as I type this. Plus, the ones I passed over last night, thinking "meh, blue frosting, that'll be unbearably sweet" or had other reservations about? Uniformly delicious!!! Do I sound ridiculously fulsome about mini cupcakes? Yes, yes I do. But only because these are probably the best I've had in a decade (of many, many cupcake trials), in ANY size. The fact that they are beautiful, minute replicas of gourmet grown-up cupcakes is like getting a winning scratch-off in your birthday card from grandma. Pure bliss.

Wish they had more GF options since the cupcakes I picked up were delicious. I got two vanilla…read morecupcakes with vanilla/sprinkles and chocolate frosting. The chocolate frosting was thicker than the vanilla and the vanilla was definitely fluffier and lighter. Both were good but different. Other options were mini cupcakes but some cookies and other things in GF would have been great.
