Cathy & her creative crew at Minnie's Bake Shop could not have been more wonderful, enthusiastic and accommodating! Minnie's baked the ultimate, scrumptious, strawberry lemonade, out-of-this-world cakeMoist, gorgeous, delicious! It was literally, "the icing on the cake" topping off a fantastic birthday party at Gramercy Ale House for our daughter's birthday party! And, to make it super convenient for us, Minnie's had it delivered - and with candles! Outstanding! Thank you, Minnie's Bake Shop - we'll be back! read more

Minnie's is The Best!! Absolutely beautiful and delicious with great delivery!! Cathy, who is warm & wonderful uses her great grandma's recipes which she also can make gluten free!! Love that especially as we chose a Gluten Free cake for my mom's 90th. I asked my mom, "Do you like your cake?" She said, "I don't like it, I love it!" My 16 year old nephew loved it too and couldn't believe it was gluten free!! Thanks Cathy and Minnie's for going above and beyond!! read more

We ordered with Cathy/Minnie's Bake Shop for a corporate birthday as we have many nut allergies in the office, and we were blown away with the quick service, taste of the cake, and how great it looked. They were able to deliver it to us when needed, and the fact that they guaranteed a nut-free cake was huge for us. We got the 8" Big Minnie cake and it was plenty for 15-20 people. We will definitely be ordering again. read more

The cookie cakes, mini sticks...all of the treats are so cute and delicious! I have never seen anything remotely like them.

What can I say about Minnie's Bake Shop? Cathy is amazing!!! I have ordered several birthday cakes from her over the years & every time they're a hit at all my gatherings. She works with you directly to create a cake you're happy to present to your guest of honor. The Minnie Cakes have a variety of flavors and sizes to choose from, so you're bound to find a crowd pleaser.

We had Minnie's cakes at our wedding, and couldn't have been more thrilled with our choice. We wanted to serve our guests - who were coming from the U.K., Egypt, Germany and the West Coast - something sweet and truly delicious, ideally local, and budget friendly. Having tried a host of traditional tiered wedding cakes, which we mostly found to be quite dry and often extraordinarily expensive, we opted for cakes from Minnie's, which we'd had at a friend's birthday and LOVED. (I also thought the square shape of the Big Minnie's was chic and fresh, and the fact that the cakes had 'naked' edges with no icing: they were light, flavourful and not remotely cloying.) We got our florist to provide some edible flowers for the top, and cut one carrot cake and one pistachio cake on the day, with little Minnie cakes in chocolate chip and gluten-free salted caramel. Every single bite of every single cake was delicious, and our guests - all of whom have been to fancier weddings than ours - raved about how good they tasted (a host of them left our wedding with cake to go). Throughout the entire process, Cathy - Minnie's inimitable owner - was a joy to work with. She was responsive to emails, deliveries of both our test cakes and the wedding cakes were exactly on time, she gave truly great advice on flavours, and really looked after us in a way that made our day extra special. We would recommend these cakes, and particularly Cathy, to absolutely anyone without a moment's reservation. It was one of the great choices we made on our wedding day. read more

Called from Denver to order a cake for my daughters birthday! I owned a bakery for years , I had a bit of a hard time finding someone to bake and deliver it was a week away. I happened on Minnie's and loved the simple elegant and unique style of her products!!! I heard the cake was great and honestly the shop was a delight to work with!!!! Thank you so much!!! We all need to enjoy the celebrations and the cake was a huge hit!!!!!!!! read more

Cathy was WONDERFUL - friendly, professional, helpful and overall a delight to work with. I'm in Nashville wanted to send my daughter (who works in Greenwich Village) a treat. Cathy was accommodating, followed up quickly and my daughter was absolutely delighted. I'd highly HIGHLY recommend Minnie's - great experience from start to finish! read more

I have never written a yelp review before but I felt compelled to write this because Cathy is the. best. The cakes from Minnie's are awesome and the customer service is even better. I cannot recommend Minnie's enough. read more

I cannot rave enough about Cathy! She helped me coordinate a surprise cake delivered to a restaurant from across the country - the process was seamless and efficient. The cake is wonderful and even though there was a miscommunication from the restaurant, everything worked out perfect and Cathy went above and beyond. Thank you Cathy! read more

I've ordered from this bake shop twice now, and will certainly be ordering again. Cathy is prompt, helpful, and the cakes are absolutely delicious. I've sent them as gifts, and everyone devours them so quickly that I've only ever been able to snag a bite of the cakes for myself (and what a delicious bite it was!) read more

There's literally no better cake in this city! Ever since I found Cathy's cakes, I've refused to buy any others. I've tried an assortment, including the Paris Tea Cake, the coconut, the carrot cake, the chocolate, the Meyer lemon, and the funfetti cakes. I've bought her full sized cakes, the Minnie's, and the cake cubes, so I've tried a good variety. Every single one hits the mark. By far, my favorite is the Paris tea cake. Cathy is also absolutely wonderful to work with when you're planning your cakes. She always goes above and beyond to make sure you get what you need. Love her! Further, her cakes are BEAUTIFUL! And they're huge! I've always gotten rave reviews and requests for repeats. Minnie's cakes will always be my go to for cakes read more

Minnie's Bake Shop produces insanely delicious, decadent, and fresh desserts! You can tell the owner Cathy puts a lot of passion and love into making every single item - just count all the dollops of icing for each of the cakes. Although I've tried all 3 items (classic cakes, whoopie pies, and the cookie sticks), my favorite by far is the classic cake. First let's talk about the icing - this isn't some light cheapo frosting. Maybe it's because I put it in the fridge for a while, but the frosting here is heavy and hearty yet incredibly fresh so you know it's made from premium ingredients. For the cake itself, I've had the strawberry and the banana ones, and both were super dense and moist. This isn't your typical cake from a random bakery or grocery store where it's spongy and light - this is some flavor packed and decadent cake, think the texture of a flourless chocolate torte. None of the treats are super sweet either. They're just the right level of sweetness balanced with the flavor intended. My favorite by far was the banana chip one. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a treat outside of the traditional cupcake or cookies. The owner Cathy is also super friendly and accommodating! read more

Cathy is the nicest person and her cakes are, far and away, the tastiest, moistest (sorry for the word, but really) most beautiful little cakes in the city. She is also extremely accommodating and creative. The first time I bought her cakes we were having a Game Of Thrones themed party and she went all out in getting in theme - she came up with flavours that come up on the show (like Sansa's lemon cakes) and made everything so yum and beautiful. You can't go wrong with Minnie's. read more

This is the second cake I've ordered from Minnie's Bake Shop and it was even better than the first! Cathy, the owner, is an absolute pleasure to work with. I knew I wanted to incorporate blue into my custom funfetti 6 inch square cake, and Cathy helped me decide on the perfect shades of blue to use and it turned out amazing!! The blue & silver chocolate candies on top and the all-over glitter gave it a fun and celebratory look. The cake was delivered on time and Most importantly, the cakes from Minnie's are always SO DELICIOUS! Perfectly fresh and moist, I can't say enough good things about this business. Highly recommend!! read more

Cathy just made this kid's birthday something that he will always remember. 19th birthday. First time away from family for birthday. Attending NYU. Not only did she make this extraordinary cake, but she was there to greet our boy at 2:30 yesterday afternoon on the doorstep, while he was instructed by his family to show up at her address...without knowing why. Total surprise for the kiddo. Totally coordinated with the amazing spirit behind the enterprise...Cathy....who we can't thank enough. And, kudos to Cathy from the birthday boy! Granny-O read more

Had a cake delivered to my daughter's work in NYC from the west coast for her birthday. Ordering via email was so easy.

Love the Harneys Paris tea cake !!! It's a different type of cake with the cake base being drier than most but with delicious flavor coming through and with two layers of creamy buttercream dollops and orange candied peel topping ! The butter cream is to die for can eat it at room temperature or tastes even amazing the next day from the fridge . Also their customer service is the BEST !!! Cathy is super super sweet and amazing can't wait to pick up our next order! read more

Working with Minnies was AWESOME! First and foremost, I have a severe allergy to all nuts and Cathy was absolutely AMAZING with this. She assured me the extensive precautions that they take to avoid cross contamination for nut-allergy clients. With a life-threatening allergy, I felt more than comfortable working with her. Aside from that, Cathy was extremely communicative and responsive. She helped me determine quantity and created a custom cake and cookies to my liking. Everyone LOVED her products and also said it was the most beautiful cake they had ever seen. I would 100% use them again!! read more

She's up there with the great bakeries of France, that's for sure! Her cakes are unbelievably amazing and downright beautiful. She also takes great pride in her work and customer service going the extra mile to package it appropriately for commuter travel and include candles. My mother in law loved her bday cake and our family and friends were greatly impressed and asked for her info. read more

I worked with Cathy to curate the perfect 30th bday cake. She was without a doubt one of the nicest and easiest people to work with. She took in what I wanted and then made great recommendations based on her expertise. We ended up going with a funfetti cake with vanilla and lavender buttercream with fresh raspberries on the side. When I received the cake I was floored, the cake was stunning (Cathy added gold dust which made the cake really pop). Not only did the cake look amazing it also tasted amazing, not too sweet but certainly decadent. I couldn't have been happier with my cake!! read more

Cathy was amazing. She promptly answered my emails and went beyond my expectations with organizing a variety of mini cakes and set up the delivery. The cakes were delicious, perfect size and thoroughly enjoyed. I highly recommend this bake shop. If I lived in NY, this bake shop would be my "go to" for my entertaining needs. read more

Minnie's Bake Shop fully deserves all five stars for their fantastic service and delicious cakes. I called in to place an order for a 6" layer cake and Cathy walked me through the different flavors that would fit the taste profile of the birthday girl. After settling on the Harney's Paris Tea Cake, the logistics for completing the order were straightforward and efficient: she emailed me an invoice to confirm the order and pickup date, then followed up shortly with a PayPal link for easy payment. There was light rain on the day of pickup and when Cathy brought down the cake, it was bubble wrapped for safe transport, then covered in plastic bags to keep dry. As she recommended during our call, the cake was frozen as we wouldn't be eating it until hours later. Presentation-wise, their cakes are truly a work of art. Despite having shuffled around Manhattan for a few hours, we opened the box to find a perfect layer cake without a buttercream drop out of place, topped generously with white chocolate curls and candies orange peels. As for taste: the cake itself was delicate, but moist; flavorful, but not too sweet. The light flavor of tea was complemented by the sharper taste of the candied orange peels, then balanced nicely together with the buttercream. Thanks Cathy for the wonderful birthday cake! Looking forward to trying many more from Minnie's Bake Shop. read more

These are by far the tastiest cookies and pastries I ever ate. I have had several different selections from Minnie's menu and all were superlative. Kudos to Cathy and company. read more

Oh my GOSH. Aside from Cathy being so accommodating, kind and fun to chat to (which is challenging to do over email), she was also incredibly willing to go above and beyond. I put in an order on Monday early afternoon for gluten free Minnies (the small cakes) with the hope of receiving them on Tuesday for my roommate's birthday. Not only did Cathy respond extremely quickly over email, she was willing to work within the short time frame and still produce some of the most delicious cakes I have EVER eaten - and that's saying something given that moist, delicious gluten free desserts are hard to do! She was one of the most pleasant people I have ever conducted any kind of business with, and made sure my delivery came on time on Tuesday. Cathy is one of a kind and not only will I be back for more cake for any event, I will happily recommend Minnie's to ANYONE. Do yourself a favor and order cakes from this place! read more

I'm gonna be reeeaaal honest. The service was AMAZING. Cathy will respond to you ASAP!!! But when it came to cake, everyone was slightly disappointed in the overall texture and taste. We ordered the banana with chocolate and peanut butter cream. The cake itself was pretty dry. You can tell that by ppl not finishing their piece of cake (we had about 35 ppl) The only thing we liked about this cake was the physical appearance. We didn't think the taste of the cake was appealing and the guests did not finish any of it. Honestly I really wanted to like this but... Everyone at the party didn't. I paid over 100$ for the cake(+delivery). But it was a very pretty cake!! Very instagrammable!! read more

Was looking for something a bit different to send to my girlfriend's office for her birthday. These cakes looked really interesting on the site so thought I'd give it a try. Minnie's did not disappoint! The cakes were awesome and Cathy was extremely accommodating. She made the whole experience very easy. I was a bit concerned about the delivery time as this was a surprise but everything turned out perfectly. I never post reviews but Cathy deserves it! Thanks, Cathy! read more

Triple Chocolate Cake... OMG it tasted as good as it looked! I don't know what's best, the fact that the cake was incredibly good, had the perfect texture and flavor and everyone enjoyed it, or the fact that the owner is so nice and accommodating and makes you feel like she's been your best friend for years. I believe she does understand that a cake means celebration, so it has to be done well! And her cake was just perfect. Don't doubt it, this is the right option to go for if you want a delicious cake and a very attentive service. read more

I had tasted a delicious little cake at a tea shop and inquired about the source. Looked at the website in hopes that something could be created for my partner's birthday. Reached out to Minnie's and immediately "met" Cathy over the phone. She was helpful and hilarious. Whereas I had originally thought a large red velvet Minnie would be perfect, Cathy suggested that I might get minnies of different flavors, especially since I didn't know of all the guests' tastes. Turns out, she was right, there were some guests who were not red velvet lovers (as is my partner) and they found the pistachio and key lime minnies out of this world. Can't recommend Cathy and her creations enough. read more

I ordered a 10 inch Minnie cake for my husband's birthday party the past weekend. Cathy was great to work with, very responsive and accommodating.

Thank you Cathy for making one of our best birthday memories! read more

Minnie's Bake Shop - 10 inch Harney Paris Tea Cake - Desserts Near Me

Wish I would have read my own review before I bought the cake. This is a lot of cake and it's delivered frozen. Instructions tell you that it should be left out for 4 to 5 hrs. before serving. I bought the 9", left it out for at least 5 hrs. and it wasn't enough. It was a little hard and not as moist as it should have been for an upscale cake. That being said, it's a beautiful cake, which with candles lite, has a WOW factor. Moving forward about 8 hrs. later, the cake was beautifully moist and delicious to the pallet. My recommendation....wait at least 7 hrs. before serving or get it unfrozen. Ooooo the seller couldn't be nicer! I'd buy again from her but would make sure that I got the cake the day before the party so that I have enough hrs. to leave it out. read more

I ordered a 10in chipped chocolate cake for my friend's 30th birthday after searching Yelp for a bakery in NYC. Cathy was quick to respond, easy to work with and accommodating to my requests.

I would recommend Minnie's for any event and look forward to trying other flavors! read more

I highly recommend Minnie's Bake Shop! I found the shop on Caviar & thought that the designs were so different from the treats that are out there. I ordered the cake cups for my office, and they were a hit! Cathy, who is the owner of the shop, came by and delivered everything herself. She was the sweetest person, told me a bit about Minnie's history. It was so refreshing to meet someone so passionate about what they do! I would order from here again, not only for the delicious treats, but also for her amazing customer service, which is so very rare these days. read more
