We went down to Bay Head for a tasting, tried different combinations and worked through the design with the team. I especially appreciated that they were willing to have an opinion. We came in with ideas, including a couple combinations we thought sounded great, and they were comfortable telling us where something might not work as well in practice as it did in our heads. The finished cake was gorgeous. Three tiers, this beautiful draped treatment on the outside, chocolate cake with cannoli filling and buttercream. It had plenty of visual drama without tasting overly sweet. People actually talked to us about the cake afterward. We ended up cutting it with Andúril from The Lord of the Rings.

Colonial Bakery is a must if in Lavallette, NJ. What a lot of patrons in line didn't know (maybe…read morethis is new) is that online ordering is available for next-day or future pickups. Seems like that is the way to go if you're a summer local or are looking to do something time sensitive. The requirements for this are detailed on the website. If you're coming for the summer and don't mind the whole experience of taking a number, waiting in line, talking to East Coast locals, and taking in the sweet smells of the bakery...then enjoy the wait! The "Crumb Bun" or crumb cake as we call it, is what we also come here for because it's the "it" thing us West Coasters don't get on our side. What I noticed is they do individual pieces, a whole cake that serves 6-8, platters, with Bavarian cream, filled with slices of cinnamon apples, and a bag of "just the crumbs". We went with a whole crumb cake to take back to feed the family/guests, and a few decorated Sesame Street cookies. They have everything here though - from donuts/pastries, bagels/rolls/bread, fun cookies, cupcakes...you name it. They also have coffee! All in all get there close to opening, pre-order if needed, or just enjoy the crumb cake ride.

It was so cute ~ the tray included a fresh donut..this one small gesture helped to create such an amazing morning for our family. There's a sign outside that mentions 'iced coffee' which is the real reason we pulled into the parking (adjacent to building), but once we stepped inside, we knew we would be grabbing a few other items. The bakery cases were lined with fresh bagels, rolls, donuts, the cutest Crab (and other fun design) cookies, and more. They offer fresh brekky sandwiches, so we couldn't pass up a pork roll moment (IYKYK). They sell merch, and we purchased a keepsake of a framed painting from a local artist that now has a spot in our kitchen. Love supporting local artists through small businesses! They have seating outside if you want to have those bagels/pork roll sammies/treats in-the-moment. Def recommend if staying down the shore!

I wasn't expecting it to be exact to the picture and told them to do their best. I mean it takes time. Their decorators were flawless. It was stunning. Huge props! Now onto taste. The yellow cake was moist and delicious. Their American Buttercream was light and sweet and held up in 90 degree heat for hours. Lastly, price. In my opinion, i was undercharged. The quality and craftsmanship (not to mention last minute with no late charge!) were well above what i paid for a 3 layer cake. My advice. You'd be a fool to go anywhere else.
