Im sure I'm one of iOC's best customers. If i don't stop in once or twice a week, my husband is kind enough to go for me. They have the best items around and i have searched. ICING on the CAKE has two pastries that I can't live without. I've eaten the same at other bakeries, but they're not even close to textures, techniques, and above all, taste. ICING ON THE CAKE's. I've never met the baker but i'll say hello on my next trip. Which wont be long as I'm out of town and failed to bring enough. Flakey, crispy & sweet i'll see you soon. Yum! Warning: they can be addictive! I know this. Which two? You're kidding. read more

Kettle donuts are the best.All the cakes we get for the Birthdays always come from here. Also asked for orange cranberry muffins and made special for a daughter's request. We will always consider them before elsewhere. read more

I have been buying cakes and cupcakes from this bakery for years!! They are so delicious!! My favorite is marble cake with vanilla pudding, fresh strawberries and blueberries with whipped cream frosting! read more

The best in Stratford the nicest people, the best baker. Never a problem with ordering or picking up

We ordered a sheet cake and small round cake that was delivered to my pre birthday celebration. I forget the exact ingredients but the cakes were delicious and enjoyed by all 90+ people. Service was very good cakes arrived on time! read more

Today I had the best cheddar jalapeno bagel I have ever had!!! I asked for it toasted with butter, and it was spicy and perfect!!!

Variety is poor-----------If you want a certain item you have to call up and order it he will not fill his showcase with it before hand. Wrapped cookie arrangements are at times stale. I wish he would bake more and then I'd come in. read more

I stumbled on this little bakery when running errands and so glad I stopped in. Super welcoming and friendly, polite service. Fresh breads, rolls, pastries, danish, cookies and cakes all beautifully displayed. While I enjoyed all of the items I purchased (yummy fudgy iced brownies, Linzer tarts, and pumpernickel bread) the hard rolls were absolutely fantastic! Fantastic! While this place is not on the route of my normal travels, I will be making my way here again soon for more of those hard rolls and will definitely try some more bakery items. read more

Great strawberries and whipped cream cake. Just what I was hoping for. Counter staff always helpful.

We are visiting from out of state, and luckily we stumbled upon this bakery. Bought a birthday cake, and had to go back the next day for more sweets!! The cream puffs and mini eclairs were very good. Lots of cookies to choose from. read more

I walked in for a birthday cake. They had a few in the refrigerated case to choose from. I selected a white cake with strawberry filling and whipped cream frosting. The cake was beautifully decorated already and I asked they add a birthday greeting which they did in beautiful script. The cake was moist and the strawberry filling was delicious! It was a big hit with adults and children! read more

The pastries, bread & services are great. The bread is always fresh. And the service is very well pleasant and courteous.

I ordered a large cake for my daughter's first birthday party, and we were all so impressed. They did a great job, better than I even imagined! Very reasonably priced. Highly recommend! read more

I must say I was very impressed by not only the presentation of the cake that I purchased but the way in which I was handled as a customer. I must say I was very impressed. I mean I was very indecisive when I ordered my cake and the person who took my order was very patient and pleasant and I mean I changed what I wanted the cake to say like 5 times. She didn't care she just waited patiently and I even hung up and called her back and she was still patient. Fast forward to the day of I ended up adding stuff smh lol. Normally I get my cakes from Julia's for all my baking needs but with them closing that leaves me to find a forever bakery for me and my bakery and I think I have found it! I loved everything about my cake and so did my mom she really enjoyed it. I can't thank you enough read more

After searching for years, I found freshly made Italian Easter bread, with hard boiled eggs here. EXCELLENT as good as my Mom's

#1, ignore any naysayer reviews. Where else can one find honest to goodness homemade baked goods. For that fact alone, they get 5 stars. #2, amidst this world of chaos and fake contrived news and events, places to get down home authenticity are few and far between and have need to be applauded. #3, where else can a food snob such as myself start gnawing on a cream filled danish pie right then and there. The checkout girl, who had to find me a knife, loved me for doing so and my mom offered a slice to the old lady with a walker who was beyond delighted. We walked out with said cream decadence, a loaf of banana bread and a poppyseed roll. I wanted to buy more but Mom vetoed as she knows I'd take a bite and leave the rest with her. All items were excellent and I can't urge enough to please support your local bakeries. Please. The place was packed late Saturday afternoon with other customers picking up custom orders. Such a delight to find this place as we were on dessert hunt from New Haven to Stratford while continuing our talk on how mind controlled mass shooters forget what they've done, the (hopefully) imminent defeat of the Cabal, and how Anthony Weiner's laptop may implicate many many others. read more

the best!!! there's not much else to say. great pastries, best doughnuts I've ever had and great costumer service. if you don't go, that's a you problem. read more

Not a great cannoli cake. The coffee cake was delicious. I'm sure it's a great bakery over all- but don't get a cannoli cake here

The best bakery in Stratford! Always fresh and delicious. I live in Florida, but stop here every time I come home.

The cookies are great The cakes are fresh and delicious the prices are fair . Oh the pies are wonderful!

YAY!!! BEST BAKERY EVER!!! I would leave a MILLION stars if I could!!! Finally! After years of searching for an old-school, traditional bakery that serves delicious treats and breads, we found Icing On The Cake! We live in Milford and for years suffered dry cake and flavorless cookies at the overpriced Julia's Bakery in Orange until my sister recommended Icing On The Cake near her home. First, let me say the bakery is small, tucked into the corner of a small group of stores but this place is BIG on customer service and taste! We ordered a chocolate mousse birthday cake for my husband. Our family doesn't like cake, but they RAVED over this one! The cake and mousse were light and fluffy, not at all heavy and best of all it wasn't a sugar bomb... you actually taste the chocolate! That's a sign of an experienced baker using top shelf ingredients. We also ordered the following: CANNOLI. It was amazing! The shell was light & crispy and the filling tasted dreamy. It wasn't a sugar bomb, this cannoli left you desperate for more! ZEPPOLI. Three different fillings... chocolate, custard and a special cannoli filling zeppoli... all absolutely to-die-for! HONEY BUN. MONKEY BREAD. Both were the best we had ever tried. There was just one woman behind the counter and between the phone and us customers she was very busy, but when it was my turn she took the time to answer all my questions (this was my first visit), told me what all the fillings were in the cakes and helped me choose and even asked my name. Very friendly and engaging... I love that! The bakery was spotlessly clean! Yes, the floors and some fixtures were a little old, but I learned from another customer that between this baker and his father, they have been in business for about 92 years. So what if he's not into decorating the bakery with fancy new trim! It's obvious this baker puts his heart and soul into his FOOD, which is the only thing that matters. I could not believe the selection! I was so happy NOT to be in a "trendy bakery" filled with fondant and cupcakes! This bakery had pies, cakes, filled breads, pastries, donuts, baklava and other "dessert bars", cookies and... oh the list was endless. It's a parade of handmade LOVE all yours for the asking! The prices are great too! I was happily surprised to have bought all this for $35. Birthday cake 3 Zeppolis Honey Bun Cannoli Monkey Bread Every bite was scrumptious and we will definitely be back! At long last we have found a FANTASTIC BAKERY and will frequent it for all our birthday cakes, Irish soda bread and holiday cookies. I knew it had to be a popular bakery when I arrived in the middle of the afternoon, three people ahead of me and within 5 minutes there were four more in line behind me! WOW! *One detraction is the parking lot (NOT the bakery's responsibility). It is way too small and the spaces painted in odd directions. I have a brand new car and truly hated the fool who designed this awful parking lot! read more

Ordered a custom job and it came out great. Great birthday cake decoration and taste for my dad's 93rd.

My Best friend got me a Banana Creme Pie from here for my birthday,,it was the Best I ever ate ! Will be getting all my bakery goods from here from now on ! read more

Icing on the Cake - Birthday cake - Bakeries Near Me - Stratford, Connecticut

My family enjoys celebrating Birthdays with the canoli cake from this bakery & although I arrived a few minutes prior to closing, you can imagine the embarassment that I felt to see "Happy Birlhday Mon!" all funky & clearly rushed ‍. Luckily my family has a sense of humor & it wasn't an in-law cake otherwise I'd surely be the red-headed daughter-OUT-law. read more

Icing on the Cake - "Happy Birlhday Mon!" Lesson of the day: Always double check your change & clearly the words on your cake. - Bakeries Near Me - Stratford, Connecticut

OMG this place makes greatly great cakes. Same day, I was able to order and pick up a customize cake. yummy peanut butter cake. The cookies were just ok.... But amazing cake. read more

Absolutely the best Cannoli cake! Irish soda bread, nut & poppy seed rolls are just like homemade The only down side.......terrible for my diet read more

The bakery may have some other nice items, the miniature cherry pies are great for parties, but I spent big money to have two custom cakes made, and paid extra to have buttercream frosting. When everyone at my party complained about the taste, I had to call "Icing" to let them know how disappointed I was that I got such bad reviews. The owner, at that time, actually informed me that they never use butter in their buttercream frosting. Faux BUTTERcream frosting? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!!!! read more

Planning a party take a lot time to do...but doing it from another state puts a layer of complexity to the process. I was planning my daughter and future son in laws engagement party...they live in Watertown and I live in New York...I don't know the neighborhood or any of the businesses around so I did some research - and I found Icing on the Cake - and I looked at their reviews and took a chance on them and I have to tell you - Im glad I did...I spoke with Paula who helped me through the ordering process - I showed her a cake design along with the cupcake designs and I put all my faith into an unknown factor...But I have to say "Icing on the Cake" was the most amazing find! The final outcome was just breathtaking and everyone LOVED the cake and cupcakes! Thank you so much for helping me make the engagement party a success....we will definitely be using them again! read more

I feel that Icing needs to go back to basics with its customer service. I've found them to be rude, impatient, and irritable of late. No doubt their items taste great, but I'm not sure it's worth tolerating poor customer service. Great quality + poor customer service does not equal a great business. read more

I always love this bakery but they did such an amazing job for my son's baptism I had to review! I got sugar cookies to hand out as favors and a cake with cannoli filling. Both were delicious and so beautiful. They were the centerpiece of his party! read more

We have had two cakes custom made by this bakery. They have a lovely staff and excellent turn around time. They are able to accommodate any order (ours were pretty simple- but they do have some photos and real cakes on display that are pretty impressive). The yellow cake is delicious and moist. We had a chocolate cake with no plate icing made for my husbands retirement, and I felt as though the cake could have been a bit richer and thicker. The chocolate was sweet and sugary, and the cake was very spongy and light. I like a little weight in my chocolate cake! Next time we order a chocolate cake I will mention this to them, perhaps they will be able to make a better cake for us. We will continue using this bakery for our confectionary needs. Very pleased so far. read more

Great cake and customer service: Needed a GOOD bakery for my twins' first birthday party. I love to bake but wasn't able to take on the challenge this time so I did some research and found Icing on the Cake. I wanted an 'old school' place that worked mostly with buttercream, not fondant. I ordered the large sheet cake number one cutout to feed 60-70. Vanilla cake with lemon filling and buttercream frosting. I should back up and explain that before placing my order I called ahead explaining what I was looking for. They immediately offered to have the baker make some samples for me. All they needed was a day or two notice. I tried a few varieties and they were all honestly good. Fresh, moist cake with a tender crumb; good selection of filings to compliment any cake; and delicious buttercream that decorated well and didn't taste too sweet. The day of the party the cake was delivered to my house and setup on the dessert table. The cake looked exactly as I had hoped and tasted delicious. We barely had any leftovers but what we did was frozen. I've hoarded the slices for myself because it was that good. This from someone who has baked and eaten a lot of cake in her life. I would highly recommend this bakery to anyone looking for a cake for any occasion. Their staff is extremely friendly and patient. And their pricing is very reasonable which speaks to the fact that they're an old school place with lots of tradition who love doing what they do. Looking forward to using them year after year! read more

Icing on the Cake - Number one cut out (full sheet - feeds 60 to 70)...vanilla cake with lemon filling and buttercream. - Bakeries Near Me - Stratford, Connecticut

This is a fantastic bakery with staff that are always attentive and extremely helpful. I have order many thing from here including cakes, cookies, donuts and breads. If you are looking for a great cannoli cake this is the place to get it from. It is always my birthday cake request each and every year because it is downright delicious! They have done amazing jobs on decorated cakes as well. I had a frozen party for my daughter and they make the cake exactly as I had requested. I've also had baby shower and christening cakes done here with the same great attention to detail and taste. read more

This is a good bakery. There are of course some things I don't love, but mostly it is a great place. We've ordered all my son's birthday cakes here and they've always done a great job. This isn't where you want to come if you're looking for super fancy decorations but they do a nice job and the cake is delicious. The rolls and bread are wonderful and the doughnuts are the best around. Be sure to get a kettle donut if they aren't sold out by the time you get there. The jelly doughnuts are packed with jelly and they are made fresh daily. Well worth a stop in or an order for cakes etc. YUM! read more

Ordered a cake for my husband's birthday. It was absolutely delicious! I would highly recommend.

Icing on the cake did a fantastic job. I emailed them a picture of a cake that I had in mind for my grandson's baptism and they were able to perfectly duplicate it. Not only was the design perfect, but the cake itself was delicious. The owner and the staff were friendly and professional. I highly recommend and this will now be my go to bakery! read more
