One price of $7/slice which is the best price you will get in the city for a wedding cake with fondant! Their staff are very friendly and the owner Martin is also very nice. Tastings are free. Our wedding cake was the Love Story #1 with vanilla sponge, pears and caramel. It was delicious and so was the fondant to my surprise! We took the first tier home and ate the rest of the cake with our friends and family. I am going back to them for my graduation and baby shower cakes. See the photos for a picture of our wedding cake.

Definitely a diamond in the rough…read more You've probably passed by it several times and never knew it was there, but stop and take bite of their samples and you'll forget where you were going. Now i"m not complimenting them just because I got my wedding cake there, but in fact it was pretty damn good. The woman I had dealt with (forgive me for not remembering) helped us pick the right cake for us as well as theme, colors and answered any or all questions patiently. She was definitely very professional and never pushed or tried to up-sell her cakes on us. After trying several other companies, we found hers to be very good. After meeting my friends at the wedding, I had more people ask me about the delicious cake than how beautiful our wedding was...which was also very beautiful as well. Great place and I'd like to experience their cake again, but I'm expecting a long and healthy marriage with my wife. Prices are moderate to pricy, but it really depends on what you want and how large you want it. From what I heard you a 1.5" or 2" cake slice is $7 dollars...so multiply that by however many guests you have and thats how big your cake will be. Good luck

What can I say about this bakery? First of all Imaria is the most kind and patient and…read moreaccommodating woman I have met in my life. Second of all her baking is on point. It doesn't just look delicious it tastes delicious. Best of all it doesn't cost a pint of blood and a kidney to purchase her cakes. The first time I ordered from her it was a cake for my boyfriend. The hennessy blue cake. I gave her maybe 3 days notice and she came through with an even better cake that I imagined. It's worth mentioning she didn't make me feel horrible for bombarding her last minute. Today I called her in desperate need of three cupcakes. I needed them today-and gave her less than an hour notice. On top of that I had a sleeping baby in the car. She assured me they would be done in time and offered to walk them to my car so as to not inconvenience me w my sleepy baby. Her cupcakes AND cakes taste excellent. To top it off they are decorated gorgeous. Did I mention her customer service is better than any I've ever experienced? She goes out of her way to every level to make it easier for the customer. Did I mention her prices are fair as can be? I can't say enough about her because I've experienced some pretty rude bakers who produce less than mediocre service and products. Try her. You will love her. From the moment you walk in. I promise you won't be disappointed. Oh did I mention she's super sweet? Stop bye. She has fresh cookies and cakes and cupcakes. And now there's coffee?!? What?!? Even if you aren't looking for all that. Stop by for conversation. She's kind and down to earth and just the type of woman this world needs. I'm so lucky to have found her and her bakery.

BAIT AND SWITCH!!! DO NOT TRUST THIS BAKER (Imaria/Neron Cakes)!…read more I hired this baker (Imaria/Neron Cakes) after reading the positive reviews and seeing the beautiful pictures of cakes in their reviews. I gave them a picture of the cake I wanted them to create (see below) to celebrate my best friend's 50th birthday and they said they could do it, but recommend to use buttercream over the cake with fondant pieces on top that could be removed so cutting the cake could be easier, which I agreed to. What they delivered instead was a cake that used limited fondant (just the tiny screws!) and was just an edible PRINTED COPY of the image I sent them, like you could get at COSTCO!! And the printed copy wasn't even large enough to span the whole cake!!! They added glitter to the sides because it looked so ridiculous! Also, during the cake order I also asked if they could make one side of the cake vanilla/strawberry and the other side chocolate/cookies&cream and she said "yes, no problem". On the day of the celebration, the cake not only looked like a poorly constructed Costco cake, it also had vanilla stacked on top of the chocolate cake which was absolutely not what was ordered! I was shocked and mortified at how terrible the cake came out!!! Guests could not figure out what the cake was supposed to be and guessed it was a suitcase or game console. I called Imaria on Monday to let her know that I was so disappointed and embarrassed to give this cake to my best friend in front of a crowd of family and friends for such a special occasion!! The cake that was delivered was nothing like the cake she agreed to deliver. Her response was that she was busy with a wedding and did not see the cake that was delivered, and another baker and designer made the cake who she paid a commission to!! When asked in astonishment if she outsourced my cake (!!!) she denied it and got defensive! I asked her to refund half the cost of the cake to make amends - it was a ~$500 cake, so we're talking $200-250, just as a symbol of making things right. She adamantly stated no refunds is her policy and she would only give me store credit, which I did not need or want. Clearly she is happy to stand by her word that there are NO REFUNDS but will not stand by her word to create a cake she agreed to make. ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUSTWORTHY and puts profit over customers. She said she is starting a wedding planning business and was very busy -- if this was the case she should have been honest and not taken my money to make a cake she was unable to make in the first place!!! If you have a special event, I would not trust this company.

Came here in the evening after dinner to satisfy our sweet tooth craving. The display case was…read morenearly empty at the time so we had limited options. I got the Hazelnut Cream Puff. My favorite part about it was the crisp at the bottom that give it that ferrero rocher texture to it. The choux wasn't as fresh anymore; the cream had a good thickness to it. I personally LOVE hazelnut and would've loved it if it had more of that flavor. It is definitely more of a dessert bar than a cafe. Since it is inside the Essex market, it's transient with a lot of traffic. I wouldn't recommend this bar if you're looking for more of a cozy spot to lounge around and chit-chat. We ordered at the counter and the cashier put the pastries on a plate and tray. We sat ourselves at a table. For some reason, they gave me disposable utensils to use while my friend got silverware. The cashier was nice, but it was weird that it happened (I assume unintentionally).

Our experience with Manal started out a very positively. She came to our home for our cake tasting…read moreand brought us half a dozen beautiful, delicious sample cakes. She was very attentive and appeared to listen to my every word and acknowledge the photos of cakes I showed her. Unfortunately, everything went downhill from there. Over the course of several months, even after furnishing her with a deposit, I repeatedly asked her for a sketch of the cake I had described to her. She promised and promised, but I never received the sketch. And then our wedding day arrived. What a supreme disappointment! The order was for a small, burgundy, 3-tiered cake with a domed topper of gum-paste Black Magic roses and covered top to bottom with an off-white damask pattern, much like the one from her very own Facebook page. The cake we got had a very large, obvious BULGE protruding from the second tier. The decoration was--quite literally--a pale comparison to the cake which we had discussed in great detail. The fondant color was more like a brick red. It was much too light to have been considered burgundy. Instead of high-contrast, dramatic damask, there was delicate, almost imperceptible white piping - most of which had soaked into the marshmallow fondant before the cake even reached the dance floor. This part was especially disheartening, since I chose her as my cake decorator specifically for the damask pattern I saw in her Facebook portfolio. The top tier was stuck with maybe 10 or 12 small sugar roses, dipped in something dark, sweet, and sticky. They were certainly NOT the gum-paste, real-looking roses I had described to her, and did not form any kind of dome. The one saving grace was that it was delicious, just like at our tasting. Everyone enjoyed it once it was plated. After the wedding, explained all this to her and asked for a partial refund, which never came. I had to open a case with PayPal to get my money back. I'm still waiting for this to be resolved.

Had I known how great BK Bites would be I could have spared myself HOURS of fretting. Claudine really knows how to run an excellent business. She has a responsive and professional staff who showed up promptly with the array of beautifully prepared appetizers I had chosen. They were even ABOVE and beyond serving and setting up a raft of additional catering items my daughter had required. That was one aspect of the job I was quite concerned about, but I need not have worried. Claudine is very responsive to the client and took charge of our every need for this event. She even showed up personally with her crew to get everything in place before our party. The food was excellent too. I love the variety of appetizers we picked. (fruit skewers, beef satay, caprese skewers and cucumbers w hummus along with empanadas.) You don't need to worry about a thing when BK Bites is in the job! thank you, Claudine!

I'm so glad I found Bites BK and decided to work with Claudine. Everything was FANTASTIC and worked out perfectly! Communication was seamless, she was easy to work with, delivered the food exactly on time, and even made a couple dishes that she doesn't have on her menu. I hosted a party in our apartment for about 85 people and the amount of food I ordered (7 platters- beef sliders, fried chicken sliders, coconut curry chicken skewers, beef skewers, mango jerk chicken empanadas, spinach & cheese empanadas, veggie spring rolls) was more than enough. My guests all were coming up to me all night saying how great the food was! I also hired a waiter (Rustum) through Bites BK who was a lifesaver. He oversaw the setup with Claudine, passed apps around, tidied up throughout the night, and made sure my guests were well taken care of. I HIGHLY recommend working with her and look forward to doing so on our next party! You won't be disappointed!
