    My friend ordered a cake for delivery from here TWICE cause it was so good. We tried the Ferrero Rocher cake and it was delicious. If you're a chocolate lover or a chocolate-hazelnut lover, this cake is perfect for you. It's rich in chocolate flavor but the cake itself isn't dense at all. It was soft and fluffy, a bit more crumbly than I'd like, and the frosting is delicious. It has grounded up hazelnuts in the chocolate frosting so the flavor really stands out. It doesn't feel heavy either since it's not a super decadent chocolate cake. I'd love to try their other cakes too!

    This is definitely not a place to sit and eat but rather take to go. They have a good selection of cupcakes and limited cake selection but the pricing is fair for the cupcakes which are $3.25 each. If you pay by cash then you get 4% of your entire purchase. The guy who helped me was nice and friendly the service was good overall. Picked up 6 cupcakes for my friend's birthday which was about $22 with tax (credit) I didn't have cash to get the 4% off lol. Parking is abundant and it's free as they got their own parking a lot which is shared with other stores as well. I'm not fond of cupcakes at all but my best friend is and according to her " The Ferrero Rocher just kill me now because that was sooo freakin' good I practically swallowed it whole despite wanting to savor it slowly. I've never loved red velvet flavor I just like it fine but wow this red velvet was the best I've EVER HAD". Well I'm glad my best-friend is very happy and in love with these cupcakes!!

    Can you see how dry and stale this mini cake is? So disappointing!

    I'm super disappointed in Layers Bakeshop. I ordered a piece of Blondie cake as well as a carrot cupcake, and unfortunately, neither was fresh. They both tasted super stale! I'm wondering if they thought they could get away with selling stale pastries to people who order online?

    Awesome goodies

    Layers Bakeshop is a fantastic bakery tucked away in Elmont (much smaller location) and a Westbury location as well (much more spacious with seats). I got the lotus biscoff cake for my Mom's birthday and it was affordable and absolutely delicious. I loved the cheesecake/cake/lotus biscoff cookie proportions if that makes any sense haha. The employee working there was also super helpful and patient. I'll 110% be back for more special events that call for cakes and just in general (heard their sundaes are awesome)!

    Double chocolate chip cookie recipe is a 9/10
    Mr V.

    Cookies taste homemade nicely bake Ice cream is good quality and taste good Wish they had more flavors Cake texture is 8/10 and the frosting on the cake is 8/10 I need to try all cake flavors then I'll update my review on the cake recipe but for Now 8/10 is what I'll give this bakeshop. Nice customer service All residents in Elmont and queens should go support this bakeshop Layers bakeshop is actually authentic and gives that homemade delicious taste Would recommend to anyone

    I had a sweet tooth and "Layers Bakeshop" was on my radar. I've noticed the place before, however, today was the day I was trying it! Parking lot isn't big, but for a small bakery, it was okay. The outside, didn't scream bakery to me. The dark colors almost made it invisible. If it wasn't for the sign, I don't think I would have noticed it driving by. Inside was much of the same. No energy, it didn't feel like a bakery. At the counter I was helped by a great guy. I asked what brownie he recommended and I went with his choice. He asked if I wanted a spoon because this thing was more like a cake. Again, I took him up on his offer and left with a spoon. Now let me say, if he baked these brownies out of a truck, I would buy it! It was fluffy and delicious. He definitely nailed the cake texture. I really enjoyed it. Next time however, I have to try to get this brownie home. Imagine heating it up and putting ice cream on top? As a matter of fact, I need to wrap this up.....I have a date with fudge and vanilla.

    There's not a lot of cupcake places that have frosting that blow me away. I usually find cupcakes with frosting that's too hard with heavy buttercream, which is there more for the decoration or visual appeal OR frosting that is too sweet where you taste and feel the actual sugar components crunching between your teeth. When I do find cupcake frosting that is decent...the cake itself is usually dry or bland. Layers cupcakes have BOTH! Their cake texture is moist and possesses the flavor of its cupcake name and their frosting is light, airy and delicious!!! I love their cupcakes in its entirety! The employees there are always really nice as well which is a huge plus and very accommodating. I would definitely recommend and have already been back a few times.

    Absolutely wonderful!! Light, airy & delicious. Very small location but the service was very nice. Everything looked so good ( reason I brought 4 different items for myself ) I wish my sister was closer for this sweet treat. I will definitely be back for more cupcakes & brownies.

    Rafaello Cake

    Ordered through doordash and it was a delightful Rafaello cake! I love the variety of flavors and the taste was amazing - very decadent and lush and the cake lasted, and loveeeed the cream cheese frosting. I had a slice of hummingbird cake from Magnolias recently and it paled in comparison.

    100% would recommend this place. I buy it for every single dinner i go to when its at a friends or familys house. My go to cake is hands down the malteasers chocolate cake. Their Biscoff cupcakes are also absolutely delightful. I called on NYE to get the cake and the owner was sweet enough to go pick it up on very short notice from their other location as it was not available at the Elmont location. Their customer service is truly outstanding. I would recommend this place to anyone.

    I was craving something sweet checked out a few reviews and decided to give this place a try. I'm not impressed it was mehhh, very clean location and cute interior decor. The cashier was calm just doing his job so no complaints about service. My family enjoyed their cupcakes maybe I should have gotten that instead of the layer cups. Not sure if there will be a next time unless it's to try a cupcake.

    I attended a friends party on Saturday & called Bill on Friday to get a cake for the venue after the original order fell through. Bill was accommodating, motivated & had the cake I ordered delivered to the venue for a nominal fee. Everyone loved the red velvet cake & the design & that is why I'm updating my review to 5 stars. The Layers Bakeshop staff was helpful, the cake was great & they went above & beyond to assist me the customer! Many continued blessings & well wishes to this bake shop

    This is the 2nd location that recently opened up. It's not as busy as the Westbury location. The space is also smaller and I feel like the side refrigerators are out of place. The KitKat bars on the KitKat cake also looked old and broken where you can see the wafers through the chocolate. The staff was really nice. First time we tried the Kashmiri Chai which came from a machine behind the counter. I don't recommend it but would try some other option one more time. I thought they would make it fresh or something from the back. We enjoyed the Lotus Tres Leches. The Lotus Biscoff and Ferrero Cupcakes were on point and had the same consistency as the Westbury location.

    I've been stopping in during the holidays for several years. This past Easter I was scolded for not…read moreordering in advance with such a large order. My order was $180 and only two people waiting after my order was already underway. It was the owner too which is disappointing. You'd think they appreciate business and check the attitude. Oh well. Lost a customer.

    I used to visit Amato years ago and got custom cakes from them...and they were well made and tasted…read moregood. However, I stopped going because I ordered cakes and they were just done very sloppily and weren't worth the money I was being charged. Last week, I decided I'd give them another chance because I want to support local businesses and it was the biggest mistake of my life. I don't ever want to review a business to harm them but I really think they need to take some feedback and implement that into their business. I ordered a gender reveal cake, something small and simple and specifically told them to make sure the writing on the cake was done neatly as I remember one of the previous cakes I had gotten the writing was not neat. The person taking my order asked me if I'd like whip outside or buttercream and I asked what they recommended because I'd only done buttercream before and they said if you're doing whip inside then it's fine to do whip outside. I said ok. Placed my order and went in to pick it up. As soon as I saw the cake I was horrified. The writing was so sloppy and so was the cake. It was as if I made the cake myself. I asked them to fix the writing on top at least. They said ok the baker will fix it. She brings it outside and said it's whip so I can't do much but buttercream would be better (it was worse than when she had taken it inside) I said ok you can do it in buttercream no problem. Brings it back outside and it's still sloppier than ever. I said this is not neat at all, and she said well it's what I can do it looks just like the picture. I said no it does not ( I will attach the picture for reference) and the baker goes "well what can I do this is how I write?" In that moment I just knew they were not willing to help at all. I had already paid in full for the cake so I took it and left. Come home to see that this is supposed to be a gender reveal cake and you can LITERALLY see the icing inside the cake from outside. It doesn't matter if you pay $40 for a cake or $100+ you should be getting what you requested. This was a simple cake that they completely ruined. When I texted her the picture I emphasized that I'd like the writing to be as neat as possible, and I was reassured it would be. Also, if you as the professional know whip won't work as well, why not call the customer and discuss with them prior to ruining the product you are providing. The excuses did not make sense. I will not be returning. And I hope they can take this feedback and improve their cake decorating process. The cake went to waste and we had to improvise last minute.
