I recently had a cake and dessert tasting with Linda and Leian for my upcoming vow renewal and it was fantastic! They were super communicative before my tasting and were knowledgeable and helpful during it. We took our 2 year old toddler with us, and they were so gracious and helpful with her and made it special for her too. I am admittedly not the biggest cake lover, but their cake flavors were delicious! We decided to go with a smaller cake and add in desserts, so we got to taste those as well and we were not disappointed. We loved it so much, we signed a contract for their services on the spot! We can't wait for our guests to enjoy the cake and desserts at our vow renewal! read more

We had such a wonderful experience with Linda while preparing for our wedding! We can't wait to see our vision come to life.

We used Gruttadauria's 1914 Bakery for our wedding cake in August 2025, and we were absolutely delighted with the results. The cake was both beautiful and delicious - moist, pillowy, and perfectly balanced. The frosting complimented the cake instead of overpowering it, and our guests loved it so much that there was hardly any left by the end of the night. If we hadn't requested to save the top, we wouldn't have had any to bring home. The extra desserts were just as incredible. The chocolate-covered strawberries were a huge hit for both their flavor and adorable design, and the cheesecake bites disappeared almost instantly. Everything was presented beautifully and it all went fast, which is always a good sign. The tasting process was also a highlight. They were kind and welcoming, and since we went in with a good idea of what we wanted (after reading their info ahead of time), it made the experience easy and enjoyable instead of overwhelming. One tip: book your tasting appointment as early as possible, because those slots fill up quickly. A couple of helpful notes for future couples: a cake stand isn't included, so be sure to add that to your list. And if you're working with them through an all-inclusive venue, you'll need to pay a little extra for the premium flavors - but trust us, they're worth every penny. We couldn't recommend Gruttadauria's more. Their cakes and desserts were an unforgettable part of our wedding, and our guests are still talking about them. read more

1914 Bakery goes above and beyond from the staff to the amazing cakes and desserts we were blown away. The bakery was part of our son's wedding venue and from the first meeting the staff took their time to introduce all their flavors and answer any questions and requests. We added some last minute dessert trays and the staff was so accommodating and helpful. My only regret is I didn't order more! Our guests couldn't stop talking about the taste of the cake and desserts. I highly recommend this bakery for your next event. read more

We couldn't have picked a better bakery for our wedding!!!! We had a Covid wedding that was pushed a year so we had a lot of time to sort through bakeries trying pasteries, cake, etc. and came across this gem looking for Italian desserts. We got both our cake and dessert table from 1914 bakery and they did not disappoint. The table included chocolate strawberries, various cheesecake, cake pops, tarts, etc --The cannolis are FANTASTIC!! My husband doesn't like lemon and loved every lemon pastry we tried. My biggest Issue with most bakeries is they are too sweet, but 1914 hit every flavor perfectly. We were also able to rent stands from them which really helped with the display set up. They were the most straightforward and easy to deal with vendor of any for our wedding and set everything up smoothly. We got so many compliments on both the set up of the tables and the quality of desserts. We've also started getting birthday cakes from them too, the cannoli cake is top notch!! Also got a chocolate cake since we didn't get to have some at our wedding and that was also excellent. Consistently going above and beyond expectation; I will certainly continue to recommend!!! read more

All our desserts were amazing. From the day we had our tastings until our wedding day the team at Gruttadauria's were fabulous to work with.

HOLY CANNOLI (Tried Them for Easter) Holy Cannoli happens when you've perfected your Sicilian secret recipe for over 100 years. Gruttadauria's 1914 Bakery (1914bakery.com) is located below Temecula, California's sun-drenched foothills. The photo features three delectable, bite-sized treats (the other 17 included eclairs): · Pastry: Golden, flaky, crisp pastry that easily crunches while blending well with the filling. · Filling: Fresh, cold, sweetened, light ricotta cheese bursting with subtle hints of spice that's very nice. I also tried their Cannoli with ends dipped in dark chocolate (also epic!) The chocolate was smooth and blended effortlessly with the pastry and filling. WHERE TO FIND THEM You won't find Gruttadauria on Temecula's main street or tucked into the endless wine country surrounding Temecula. Nope. This little bakery is hidden from view. Here's the catch: They don't ship orders or allow storefront visits (they meet you at the car if you are picking up your order). HOW TO GET THEM The next time you are in Temecula, give Gruttadauria a call. Gruttadauria is strictly a phone order, pick up, or cake consult appointment. Phone a day or two earlier if you want something, then pick it up. I called one Saturday morning at the opening, and 1000 pastries were on they're way out the door. ON THE CANNOLI SCALE... For me, Gruttadauria's Cannoli is a perfect ten. When you think about a Cannoli, Gruttadauria sets the bar high. read more

1914 catered dessert for our wedding in Temecula, July 2023. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! From the beginning, Linda and team were responsive and super helpful. Linda walked us through all of their amazing options during our tasting appointment, and guided us in choosing our pastries. I called/emailed them multiple times before the wedding to ask questions and make adjustments... each time, the team at 1914 was professional and gave us what we needed. Day-of delivery was seamless; the desserts were on the tables and in our guests' mouths before we knew it! In addition, when there was a miscommunication and we weren't able to freeze our wedding cake, 1914 worked with our venue to get us a replacement cake within hours. Overall, 10/10 recommend. read more

Had our wedding cake tasting appointment this morning and Linda was so helpful and lovely. We had a lot of cakes to taste and gelato and sorbet and pastries! Everything we tried was fantastic, it was so hard to choose just 3 cake flavors!! Truly appreciated all of Linda's help, experience and knowledge of the wedding industry. She made our hour long appointment so easy and fun and packaged all of our treats that we couldn't finish so that we could bring home with us. Really looking forward to our wedding so we can eat the delicious treats and can see their cute wooden pastry displays that we are renting for our event in action!! Thanks so much to y'all over there working hard to get us great desserts!! read more

I cannot recommend 1914 bakery enough! We used them for my daughter's wedding in October and were beyond satisfied. Linda was extremely helpful during the cake tasting appointment. She helped us figure out how many additional pastries to order without being pushy or trying to sell us more than we needed. Do yourself a favor and add the gelato cart! It was a big hit with our guests. Not only were the cake, pastries and gelato delicious but 1914 went extra mile to ensure a smooth delivery after the wedding venue was changed at the last minute. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! read more

We came here for a tasting to select a bakery for our wedding. Gruttadaurias exchanged one email with us before failing to confirm the tasting. We finally called to confirm. Based on the positive reviews we had decided to move forward with the tasting even though it was the only one we had to pay for. $5 a slice. We picked 2. Come time to pickup, we waited a while. When the cake came out, it was two of the smallest slivers of cake ever. We opened it up hopeful that it would be great. 2 of the driest slices of cake EVER! The chocolate slice was dry and chalky and tasted like a box of cocoa powder with some crumbles. The Italian cream was just as dry. But by far the worst part was the frosting. It was exactly like eating from a tub of Crisco. It was very greasy and has a slick fat like texture. Yuck! Worst cake ever. read more

This place used to be called Jodee's Bakery but they changed their name a while ago. It's really tiny inside, just 2 or 3 tables for cake tastings. Ordered our vow renewal cake from them in 2017 and it was divine! I also ordered a strawberry groom's cake to be extra, lol. I'm not a fan of strawberries but the mister is. The cake was moist and the flavor combo was delish! I can't remember exactly what I ordered, but it was chocolate cake with the best ganache filling between the layers. I normally don't like buttercream on cakes, either, but theirs is perfectly done. Not too sweet and very light and fluffy. I didn't feel as guilty eating it as I would have with a regular buttercream frosting. When I went for the cake appt, the owner was really nice. She sat me down and had a few different combos for me to try. There was a little hair in one of them, which was off putting. However, the cakes were all moist and tasty. I don't like dry crumbly cakes---who does?! Last time I went in was about 3 weeks ago. I ordered the same thing for my aunt's birthday. They keep your order on file and you can re-order it every year to get a fresh one on your anniversary. I like that they do that because most bakeries make you a cake to freeze for a year. Ummmm... no thanks! Service was a bit slow because the owner was with a couple doing their cake tasting. Her son was assisting another customer in front of me. I wasn't greeted when I walked in and stood there for about 10 min before her son could help me. Overall, I would return because they make other yummy things like cannolis which I have yet to try! Parking is plentiful in this industrial area. read more

Absolutely AMAZING experience with this place! My wife, then fiancé, came in and were greeted sooo wonderfully. There was a very easy environment, no pressure, choose what you want, they know the deal. You are on a budget, you want the best, but also can't break the bank. We tried so many wonderful places, but this spot really had the best service, best communication, and BEST selection/taste. Def put 1914 on your list if you are looking for an amazing wedding cake!!! read more

I was in charge of dessert for a big family party and decided to give this place a shot. Although they do not have a store front you are still able to taste just about anything prior to ordering. I did just that and worked solely with Linda in doing so. Linda was very communicative, professional and kind making me at ease about the dessert portion of my party planning. I ended up going with the apple tartlets and they were such a hit! I was a bit worried when choosing this bakery though, as my party was quite far away, however Linda packed everything so nicely they made it all in one piece to my final destination. I will say this is not going to be the place for you if you're on a budget, however you get what you pay for and here it is definitely worth it. I look forward to ordering from them again in the future as I definitely want to try out some of the delicious looking cakes they have to offer. read more

I really had such high hopes for this bakery. the bakery is Italian so this is what made me have high hopes for them for our Niece's wedding. When we tried the cakes at the tasting appointment the cake was fresh fantastic and flavorful. Growing up with old school Italian bakery's it reminded me when I was a kid. Well the cake arrived for the wedding and was pretty plainly decorated which was ok. The person who delivered did not read the instructions well and did not decorate it correctly with the flowers as our Niece wanted. The real disappointment was the cake itself. It was apparent the cake was not fresh and was previously frozen or made many many days in advance. the cake turned out dry and crumbly not moist and soft when a cake is really fresh. My wife and I were really disappointed from the tasting to the final was a world of difference. For those that use them please make sure to tell them you want your cake fresh. read more

This bakery is truly a gem! Their products are awesome, and taste amazing. Due to COVID-19, they're only doing curbside pickup, which I didn't mind. The menu is also limited because of the pandemic, but I was still quite happy with the selection of pastries and cookies that were available. At the time of this review, they are only doing preorders, so do keep this in mind. We got the assorted cookies box and assorted pastries box. There were a good variety of desserts in each, and everything was yummy. The pastry box included things like lemon tarts and cannolis (both very good) and mini cheesecakes (which were decent). The cookies box had everything ranging from chocolate cookies to "cinnamon roll" cookies, and I enjoyed all the ones I had. This bakery also sells many cakes, and I can't wait to try them in the future. I highly recommend visiting this place if you're looking for some tasty sweets. read more

If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would. I am planning a wedding in Temecula and had a disappointing experience at another area bakery, so when I found 1914 online, Linda immediately squeezed my fiance and I in for an appointment since we had a tight timeline. She was very responsive leading up to the appointment. When we got there, she was kind, friendly, and welcoming, and she had a beautiful presentation that included photos, binders of options, and easy to read sheets/pictures of all the pastries. Save your appetite if you schedule a tasting! All of the desserts were delicious and Linda really works with you to understand what you want and give it to you within your budget. We ended up getting a small 2-tier cake and a dessert bar. I can't say enough good things about our experience. It's a family-owned bakery and they really delivered a personalized experience. Highly recommend them for your next special event! read more

Enjoyed having gelato truck at a friend's wedding last night. You guys were incredible. The gelato was some of the best I have ever had (I am an expert) and the service was excellent. Only potential issue / room for improvement (1) not having enough servers/scoopers when rush of people happened, though that was only an issue for like 5-10 minutes and (2) not having a tip jar for the excellent server. Great selection, great flavor, great service. read more

If I can give this place more than 5 stars I would! Linda was so sweet and super helpful in booking her for our last minute micro wedding on 8/28/21. Most places were booked and I came across this place on Yelp and just had to try it. First off, our food tasting went so amazing it was hard not to book every piece of dessert she had to offer in her menu! We had a dessert bar and a three tier cake- the cannolis were a hit and were a nice blend to our Italian dinner! I wish I could have taken some home but Linda was so nice and offered a complimentary cake for our one year anniversary and now I can't wait to try her cake again- SO GOOD! Thank you Linda and your family for helping us make our dream wedding happen! Will definitely come back! read more

We are so happy that we came across this bakery for our wedding! Linda was such a pleasure to work with and gave great suggestions for the wedding cake and dessert bar.

We had chocolate covered strawberries, cheesecake (lemon/blueberry), cannolis (chocolate chip and pistachio), banana cream tart. Get the cannolis!! Trust me, the cannolis are AMAZING!!!

We are a Italian family from San Pedro, CA. My son was getting married at Callaway Winery inTemecula. My son and daughter in law really wanted Italian pastries at there wedding and not knowing the area we had no clue for bakeries that made Italian pastries. I did some research and discovered Gruttadauria's-1914 bakery. After reviewing reviews and photos I was amazed with there pastry displays. I will say that photos do not show justice on how amazing they taste. The cannoli's are so good it reminded me when I was in Palermo Italy. Not to mention all the other pastries were amazing as well. Mark and Linda were amazing to work with, since living out of the area they made it very easy to coordinate our event. I would give them 10 stars if I could. Thank you Mark and Linda for the beautiful pastry bar that gave us so many compliments from our guests. read more

I would not recommend this bakery. We contracted 1914 for a dessert table (success), and for a wedding cake (major failure) for our wedding. We paid for a lemon cake with blueberry filling and their signature frosting and received a white cake with signature frosting. It was extremely embarrassing exchanging cake with my wife in-front our our wedding guests on the happiest day of our lives with the wrong cake! She was very disappointed and it stained that moment in our lives. Great for a dessert table, but don't trust with a wedding cake. read more
