About a month before my son's board-game-themed wedding rehearsal dinner, I realized that we needed a cake that would tie it all together. I emailed Madison Ave cakes to see if they could make a cake based on my kid's favorite obscure game (Isle of Cats) that he had taught to everyone in the wedding party. Well, Nancy came through in the most amazing way. The cake was absolutely perfect! When I saw it that morning, I knew it was going to be a good day. She took the very basic vision I gave her and executed it in exactly the way I was hoping. And the whole wedding party loved the details and humor that it added to the day. (Not to mention that not only did it look good, it also tasted fantastic!) Hoping I'll have a reason to work with Madison Ave Cakes again in the future!

First time customer here. Ordered a custom cake for my sons 8 th birthday online. The cake looked PERFECT! The customer service was stellar. The cake itself was fresh, moist, the icing was light , fluffy and not over sugary like other bakeries or grocery store chains. I will definitely be a returning loyal customer, over and over. THANKS for making my sons birthday a little bit sweeter!! Jenn

Woman owned amazing bakery - exceptional designs, taste, service, and quality. Nancy is a true artist. Her cakes have been the highlight of my parties for 5 years!

Custom cake with real fresh flowers. Exactly what I wanted!

Stunning, elegant & just what I wanted for my babies baptism! One stop shop and they took care of everything, even had it delivered. Love this place!

At the consultation, Nancy asked for my Dad's interests and likes and created a cake that embodied those things.

La Gourmandine is always a solid choice, and our Thanksgiving order proved it again. We picked up a…read morepumpkin tarte and an apple tarte--each meant to serve about six--and both were delicious. The flavors were balanced, the pastry was buttery and delicate, and they looked as good as they tasted. The total came to $50.65, which feels pretty standard for a French bakery once you understand the baseline is a bit higher than your typical American dessert spot. For the quality, it's well worth it. Consistently great, reliably tasty, and perfect for special occasions or whenever you want to treat yourself. The staff is friendly. It's usually busy here and not conducive to eating inside.

I heard this was one of the famous bakeries I must check out in Pittsburgh. I got their pistachio…read moreeclair, ham and cheese croissant, and almond croissant -- all tasted wonderful and light. The croissants were great when you lightly air fry/toast them if you don't eat them right away. In Lawrenceville, it's a small location with a couple of outdoor seating but none inside. However, it is a chain so you might have one in your little area. My only thing is that the pistachio eclair is very sweet (so if you don't have a sweet tooth, maybe I'd go for another subtler dessert). I saw they have a deal where you can get a baguette, sandwich, and drink for $7. Good deal imo considering the quality of their bread, and it's a good excuse to buy a sweet treat with it!

10 stars if I could! As a New Yorker living in Pittsburgh, I take my cheesecake seriously!!!…read moreKyle's Cakes N'at absolutely delivered. I got to try the plain cheesecake, buckeye, lavender, double chocolate, biscoff, and key lime pie, and honestly every single one was delicious! His cakes are made with alot of labor & love! What made this experience even more amazing, was getting to go behind the scenes and actually help make a ton of different cheesecakes. Such a fun, hands on experience getting to see Kyle in action and the amount of hard work that goes into every order. I loved hearing his stories about his childhood and his family influences. Kyle is only 31 and has owned his business for over 7 years! That's impressive. You can really see the passion behind his baking. He works incredibly hard and even sacrifices a lot of his social life to keep growing his business, perfecting his craft, and supporting his community. Small business, big story! definitely a spot worth supporting in Pittsburgh!!!!! Thank you Kyle & Lisa

Kyle's Cakes N'at knows how to do cheesecake!…read more We came across their booth at the Greensburg Night Market and besides the four mini cheesecakes staring you down from the booth display... Kyle's nails marketing with a very recognizable and obvious logo! We immediately wanted to get a slice of the key lime cheesecake... and luckily snagged the last one. Prices seem high until you see the size and taste these cakes!! Quick and easy service, since it's all just slice and serving! Great vendor to find at any market!

Came here on a cold Saturday morning because several have recommended this bakery on Walnut Street…read more Since it's just a small walk-in, we purchased a few goodies and took them to a cafe to enjoy them with some coffee. They have two cases of their delicious looking pastries, one table of discounted items, and a case serving hot items. Open that case and serve yourself the hot mini quiches and empanadas. Started with a mini quiche and a beef empanada. Hubby liked his quiche. I'm not a fan of olives and they were all over my beef empanada. Will not be getting that one again. The kind young lady behind the case helped us order our very first Burnt Almond Torte. It comes in different sizes and we chose the bar as it easily serves two. She even gave us sporks to eat it with. We really loved the Burnt Almond Torte. The inside has a soft, moist vanilla cake layered with a thin layer of icing and enrobed with more icing and topped with the buttery, crunchy almonds. We will be back for more.

We, recently, moved to the area and decided to try Prantl's today. We ended up with the Burnt…read moreAlmond Torte Bar, a quiche, and an Empanada. I started with the quiche and enjoyed it; the crust was just average but the egg filing was very good. My wife was not a fan of the empanada so we will not get that again. It was around 10 hours before we tried our Burnt Almond Torte...wow! That dessert is something that I will eat again, and again. The toasted almonds were soooo good! They were crunchy, crispy, and perfect. The Bar Cake had a white cake inside and icing on the outside; it was heavily coated in those almonds. The person who assisted was knowledgeable about the items to a point; she did not eat anything in the bakery so it was by observation. Don't care, that Burnt Almond Torte is the real deal!
