June 6 was my birthday, and after celebrating the night before at a lovely restaurant in the city,…read moreI found myself with no plans on my actual birthday. I decided I wanted to treat myself to a little cake. I usually visit a local bakery for cakes, mini desserts, and cannolis. It's generally pretty good, although it can be a bit hit or miss depending on what you order. While searching online for bakeries nearby, this place came up with stellar reviews. I was surprised to see it was only about an 11-minute drive from my house, so I decided to make the trip. The bakery was set up much like a classic neighborhood bakery, with beautiful cakes displayed along one side and cases filled with mini desserts, pastries, cookies, and cannolis. While chatting with the staff, I mentioned the bakery I usually go to. That's when they told me that bakery actually gets its cakes from Normandie. I found that fascinating because I had always assumed every bakery made its own cakes from scratch. Suddenly, a lot made sense. I had originally planned on buying a small birthday cake, but since it was only for two people, I decided to put together an assortment of mini desserts instead. I picked up tiramisu, carrot cake, lemon cake, and several other mini cakes. Every single one was outstanding. Not one dessert missed the mark. The carrot cake was moist, the tiramisu was perfectly balanced, and the lemon cake was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh, high-quality, and thoughtfully made. The minis were slightly smaller than the ones I'm used to buying elsewhere, but honestly, they were the perfect size. Now that I know where those cakes are actually coming from, I'll happily make the extra 11-minute drive and buy directly from the source. This will absolutely be my new go-to bakery for birthdays, special occasions, and hostess gifts. A wonderful birthday discovery that turned into finding my new favorite bakery.

I was in the store three weeks ago and asked about ordering it and was told it had to be done online. I called today after repeatedly not being able to order it online, and was first told that the registration had not opened up yet. When I pointed out that the pick up day is supposed to be in three days, I was told they were not doing it this time because of lack of orders. You would have had at least my order had the person at the counter known what they were talking about three weeks ago. Also if you say that something can be ordered until the ninth, you can't take that back. I'm extremely disappointed in the unprofessionalism. You have lost a good customer.

I asked if the food was still good cause it looked like their fridge had broke and they assured me everything was fine.

I refused to eat them, but my partner did and he got sick. Note: all previous experiences were good but I don't trust them anymore.

The cakes are always delicious and beautifully decorated. Everyone who eats them always asks where they came from! A lot of times, birthday cakes taste like... well, birthday cakes--you know, the standard yellow cake with overly sweet, artificial-tasting frosting. But not these. These cakes taste homemade, fresh, and made with real love. I also can't wait to try their cupcakes--they look just as amazing! If you're in the Red Bank area, this is the place to go for any celebration or just to enjoy a delicious treat!
