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!

The cake was at the venue before I arrived, so I didn't have to worry about delivery, which was particularly helpful since the party was in Manhattan. The cake was a huge part of our 50th birthday celebration, and I'm so glad we used them. Not only was the cake flawless, but it also tasted good - it was red velvet with cream cheese frosting. I would definitely use this company again, you won't be disappointed.

Now I've known about them for a while but this was my first actually ordering from them. I called on a Saturday at about 3pm and Jermaine answered the call, both literally and figuratively. I nervously mentioned I needed a cake for the evening.. by 6pm, as I needed to be in Williamsburg by 7:15pm. He responded not to worry as they had a beautiful 10'' double chocolate, oreo cookie, multi-layered cake that would fit the occasion perfectly... my heroes! The gf and her friends absolutely loved the cake and were wow'd by how pretty, big and delicious it was. We had 7 people at the table and even after some folks took big pieces to go, we had nearly half the cake to take home!

I got a black and white cookie, and should have figured that a French bakery might not have known a good recipe, but I tried. It looked wonderful from the outside, but did not taste good at all. The "white" didn't have a passable flavor and might have been lemony (which is a no-no for B&Ws). The "black" didn't taste very good either and I wasn't a fan of the cookie-cake bottom. If Saint Honore tries to redo the recipe they should concentrate on the flavor as much as the looks. Positives: right size, right shape and frosted on the correct side.

This is what made me come back and order again this year. Unfortunately my expectations were not met this time around. The cake was nothing of what I expected when I went through the design when I first placed the order. The digital art that was placed on the cake and the fondant job were not neatly done. I'm afraid of what the cake would have looked like had I not supplied them with some decorations. Needless to say I was disappointed and will not be using them again for any custom cake jobs. I definitely did not get my money's worth.
