    a pastry in a box
    Tracy K.

    Another Italian bakery gone American. Found a few cannolis but knew to try just one. Total sugary American style no Italian flavors. Chocolate chips and super sugary filling. Technicolor low end color cakes. Just a changing landscape for so many Italian eateries. Clean baker. Fresh. People super nice.

    One of the best bakeries. I've had many cakes made by them and every one tastes delish! I had specialty cakes made for my son's birthday and they have blown Me away. They do amazing work!!!

    Rainbow cookie cheesecake

    I've been ordering here for two years for birthdays and desserts for regular occasions and they always get it right! Cake was so delicious, tasty and it was SOO cute!

    I'm tearing this cake up as we speak!

    I came here this past Sunday to get a couple of treats for Father's Day. Now that we are in post Covid there was a line but it moved quickly. I ended up purchasing a couple of tarts, eclairs, and a cannoli cake and it was the bomb dot com. This bakery is definitely my go to for any type of celebration and advise guys and gyals to try it out!

    An order was placed with the hopes of having the ionic Sponge Bob meme on a birthday cake that was suppose to cover the cake in its entirety. Instead we were given an index card size of the image on the cake. At the time of pick up we tired to get some clarification as to why we were receiving something that was far from the description that was given when the order was placed. Instead of being acknowledged we were disregarded by the employee. I contacted management he apologized and the cake was brought back with the hopes of this issue being rectified. Instead we receive the same cake with a larger image just plastered over the original. My concern is the fact that this was done and still given to a paying consumer with the satisfaction that this was a better option. If this cake is a representation of the work that is carried out at the bakery, I am highly disappointed. This is poor workmanship as well as lack of creativity.

    They saved my tail.I was able to order 36 cupcakes for a birthday party by telephone with less than 24 hour notice. They were a hit at the party.

    I ordered a delicious Oreo filled birthday cake last minute for my kids birthday party. I needed the Incredible theme on the cake so emailed the pic I liked and .... Voila ! I had my cake . Thank you ...... not a drop was left

    The mini pastries are the best, and pretty cheap I might add.

    For those who are not aware: Layers is a Pakistani bakeshop chain that is absolutely delicious!…read more The Elmont location is quite small, and more of a grab and go situation, but the variety of flavors is truly unique. Choose items like Cadbury chocolate brownies, Biscoff or Raffelo cupcakes, or even sundae cups! Seeing as though there were only 2 left, I ordered a Belgian Chocolate Malt cupcake for about tree fiddy (no joke) and was on my way. The cupcake was superb. The base is a nice, moist chocolate cake. But the frosting is where it truly shines. It was so rich and malty, it was like eating a soft Malteser. What's even better is that the size is not obscene, so you're felt feeling satisfied but not overwhelmed. Service was polite. And if you're not in the Elmont area, no worries as there are now a few locations on the island. Would gladly recommend them for your bakeshop needs!

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.
