The cake I received

Paid over $150 for a cake that literally looked nothing like the reference photos I sent them. I asked for pastel and was given a neon-looking cake. It looked like they worked on the cake last minute and put very little effort into it. Also within the instructions for the cake, I added the writing that I wanted inside parentheses in order to emphasize the specific phrase and they added the parentheses into the cake....

If it was possible to give a less than one star review for this business I would. As silly as it sounds we wanted to celebrate the day we got our maltese with our closest friends. I saw the cakes on NYC Birthday Cakes website and ordered a cake with a custom maltese topper for our event. If you look at the attached photo On the left is the example of the cake topper we wanted. On the right is the cake we received. This is what we received for a near $400 cake. Outrageous. If I knew they were not capable of doing the job I would not have hired them to do so. Hopefully we can hire a real custom cake maker next time.

Ordered a cake for my partners surprise 30th Game of Thrones themed birthday party. The end result was better than I could have imagined. The ordering process was simple and the communication was spot on. The cake was absolutely delicious- white cake with raspberry filling! Thank you so much to the Cake Designer Joseph.

Cool cake tasted just as good as it looked.

Well this was a very aesthetically appealing and delicious cake for me to give up 5 stars. I had a custom cake made for my daughters 15th B DAY she loves make up so hint hint. I ordered a standing makeup bottle cake from them with a tasty caramel mousse filling to go with the vanilla cake. I really like how the details were put in exactly how i asked their manager Mike pays a lot of attention to details and it reflects in the product. Mike was professional enough to go over the cake with me before it was started, he gave me a call once he received a picture of what I needed.Overall this was great from start to finish on everything and even if you order for a certain number of people on the cake i noticed mine had 5 extra slices available. I recommend this service for special cakes considered the quality and attention I received.

This review is for a two tier cake order I placed in July. I placed the order about 2.5 weeks prior to my event. It started out well. Had a couple of conversations w/ the cake maker to explain what I wanted (it was simple--I wanted an all black fondant cake w/ nothing else on it.) I was told I could pick it up the day of the event. On the day of the event I went to pick up the cake and it was damaged--the box the cake was in had created a dent on the top of the cake. I panicked when I saw it at the store. They then had me wait until they called the maker and wait for him to drive there and fix the cake. This took about 40 mins (not too bad I guess), however I was then running late and had to deal with traffic on my way to the event --I was in a panic. I understand that these things happen but what I am pissed about is how the cake looked after all of this. It was poorly made--I could lit see streaks on the fondant (see the photos) and debris on the top of the cake. I wanted to cry. The fondant was wet. Like shiny and just wet looking. Now that only means that the cake maker does not know how to make or work w fondant bc that is a tell tale sign--wet, shiny fondant--even after refrigerating (please see photos). It did not look like fondant. Now the other thing is that there was cardboard debris on top of the cake where they had to fix from the box denting. Once again, please see photos. The cake was supposed to be the center piece of my party and it was just a disaster. I was so embarrassed that I spent so much money on my party and the cake to have it look so amateur. THE WORST PART was the customer service. OMG the cake maker/owner was BEYONDDDD nasty when I told him that there is debris embedded on the fondant and the fact that the fondant is wet andddd the fact that they let a box cave in on the cake and I had to wait of him to do a bang up job of fixing it. He got on bad with me and lit yelled "leave me alone" like a 2 year child. He took no responsibility. This was the scary part that someone can ruin a cake that is impt to your party and just not give a damn and tell you to leave and hang up the phone on you. I was bewildered that I had to deal with this level of nastiness in customer service! I would urge anyone who wants a professional looking cake and who wants to deal with reputable, professionals to AVOID this place.

A 60th Birthday day celebration...photo of when she was 20 years old...horrible horrible tasting cake!!

I ordered my mom's 60th Birthday cake from here because their pictures from the website was Amazing and they got good reviews...Well I gave 2 stars because the only thing good about the cake I ordered was the picture the decor around the cake was Horrible....they put the happy birthday lettering in pink as if it was a baby shower...I asked for chocolate decor..the taste of the cake was Horrendous!!! I paid $225 for the most disgusting tasting cake EVER!!! What a waste of money!!! Don't buy a cake from here...save your money and order a BJ's cake instead!!

Cowboy cake (left was my inspiration, right is NYC Birthday Cake's execution). I think NYC Birthday Cakes is much better.

LOVED the cake NYC Birthday Cakes did for my son's party, I got nothing but compliments from our guests. It was much more $ than I anticipated but I really wanted a 2 tier cake and all the fondant bakeries I checked with we're in line with each other. I ordered the cake 1.5 weeks prior to my son's birthday, Joseph was very helpful in thinking through the details. Our bottom layer was red velvet with cream cheese while our top was vanilla with fudge. Both very moist. I recommend the red velvet and cream cheese over vanilla, way more tasty (in all fairness I was recommended the vanilla for the kids). See inspo and actual cake below!

A HUGE thank you to this amazing bakery for a quick 24 hour turnaround time.. On a wedding cake!! They were SO flexible and basically agreed to make the cake look like any picture I sent them. It tasted amazing, and the guests couldn't stop commenting on how beautiful it was. Such nice people to work with!

Stopped by to grab a couple cakes for a party. Got parking easily a couple blocks away on one of…read morethe residential streets. We came by the day before Mother's Day, so they had pre decorated Mother's Day cakes. You can also place an order. Service is quick and friendly. We initially planned on getting a Strawberry Shortcake, as that seemed to be the cake to get. However, we opted for the Cheesecake, because we were able to add fresh strawberries (and whipped cream) on top! I'm not a fan of whipped cream, so I avoided that, but everyone seemed to enjoy. It had a good creamy texture and was not too sweet. The strawberries were indeed fresh. The pound cake was soft and airy. The vanilla flavor comes through. I will have to try the Marbled version next time! Note: Cash Only! A regular customer ordered the tiramisu cake; said it was the best cake ever, so will have to try that next time!

A friend told me about Du Bois' black forest cake many years ago and it was good. I got reminded…read moreabout this bakery recently so dropped by one day, got a pecan pastry and inquired about cakes. They have no website/price list but the gentleman there gave me his card and said he can give info upon inquiry (though seeing a list of cake flavors, fillings, prices would be easier for me when ordering). He did say 7" cakes are $21. By the following week, I needed a cake and ordered by phone a Strawberry shortcake - 8" $38, good for up to 14 people...great price. The next size at 10" is $70+. The icing was not too sweet, and the cake/decor reminded me of 90s cakes, which we didn't mind. We liked that the cake was soaked in the strawberry flavor plus the fresh strawberries in the filling (we compared to a couple of other bakery's SS cake - where the strawberry can be tasted in the filling but not really in the cake by itself. The other cakes were more fine in texture though).

Communication was excellent and Karen was also very accommodating in last minute changes. The Earl grey and lemon combo was delicious and both cakes were almost too pretty to cut up!

I placed an order through her site and I got an email back the next day and we took it from there. Karen is so sweet and very professional, she contacted me confirming details of delivery the day before and she delivered the cake HERSELF the day of my birthday and gave me instructions on storage until the time of my event. Such amazing service! When I opened the cake I was blown away, it was absolutely perfect. Karen was so attentive to the details I wanted, I have this teddy bear I run an instagram for and she made him as a topper, it was SOOOO CUTE!!! On top of that, the dreamy design on the front of the cake was really beautiful. I ordered the earl grey flavor cake 6" petite, I highly recommend this flavor it was so delicious. Not too sweet and very flavorful, the buttercream was nice and light, slightly aromatic with the scent of tea. I'm SO happy I ordered my birthday cake from Karen, she's made the perfect cake in so many ways and I've fallen in love with her work. Definitely recommend!

Even my Korean mom loved it I'd highly recommend the blueberry earl grey cake. Ive never seen it before, and I believe that it's one of the cakes that are unique to this bakery. The bergamot is not overpowering, and you can actually taste the "tea" that was infused with the cream. The dried cornflowers sprinkled on top of the cake were a nice touch.

I'm officially a new big fan of Taste Creme! I hosted a potluck night with my friends and was…read morelooking for a cute dessert to share. I got the cube cakes here, and despite being very distinct flavor profiles, they were all delicious. My friends and I's favorites were earl grey with yuzu glaze and the lemon olive oil with strawberry glaze. They also had vegan options which tasted just as good (and as moist) as the non-vegan. Like I wouldn't have been able to tell by tasting it. I also have had cakes from here (various friends' parties), which is how I first heard about it. My favorite cake is the Blueberry Earl Grey cake. The earl grey flavored pastries here are amazing. Such a great distinct flavor that is not too heavy and pairs well with the fruitiness of the blueberry. I also tried their strawberry shortcake matcha latte. Very very sweet, but a great pick-me-up (which is actually unlike their pastries which I'd consider to be "not too sweet" = perfect sweetness level for the Asian palate). The staff was very pleasant, and they put my pastries in different bags to note which ones to refrigerate and which are okay at room temperature.
