    Guests were having second slices of cake! That's how good it was. Moist and rich yet still fluffy. Best part was that the cake appeared smooth and sleek on the outside without fondant! It held up near a sunny window on a summer day too. It was so sweet that the cake designers humored me with the exact car from fast and furious when I told them the theme was the movies themselves.

    Perfection!!

    I wanted an old-school shower cake for my daughter's small intimate gathering at her apartment. I wanted a cake that would wow and impress the guests. It was a delight to communicate with Jennifer from start to finish. I wanted red velvet and chocolate cake with cream cheese filling. This cake blew EVERYONE away, as I knew it would! They raved about moistness and flavor of the cake. They marveled at the abundance of phenomenal flowers and the magical tiny details like the butterflies and the pearls. Pure artistry. Everything, including packaging and delivery, was PERFECTION. One of the few exceptional purchases in my lifetime. Jennifer and her team will execute a cake worthy of your spectacular event.

    Had a custom cake made for a baby shower and it was absolutely amazing. We sent them a photo of what we wanted and they nailed it, and it was so delicious!!

    We've been going to Hudson Cakery for custom cakes over the last 2 years and they are absolutely exceptional! The cakes have turned out exactly, if not better than the inspo pics and also, they are delicious!! On top of that, everyone is very responsive to all my requests and questions. They are the best!!

    We recently celebrated my father's 90th birthday. Because he has just written a book on the future of nuclear power, we asked The Hudson Cakery to make a cake in the shape of a nuclear power plant. They did an outstanding job. Not only did the cake look fantastic, but everyone said it was delicious as well. Practically the entire thing was edible, even the smoke plumes coming out the top. The entire process of working with them was straight forward with great communication. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in the region looking to have a custom cake made for a special occasion.

    Delicious cake and excellent service for my daughter's July 2025 wedding. She ordered the banana nut flavor which everyone enjoyed!!!

    Absolutely thrilled with how beautiful this cake turned out for my daughter's 3rd birthday!! My daughter and her friends loved the mermaid and unicorn, and all the parents couldn't stop talking about how delicious the cake was! I've worked with Jennifer for several years now, and she is always such a joy to work with. I can't recommend her enough and will continue to rely on her to make my daughter's cake dreams come true year after year!

    Hudson Cakery knocked it out of the park! Ordered a graduation cake using an online example image and they produced an even better design. Very professional, friendly and responsive. I could not be happier with the end result. The cake was delicious and exactly what we were going for. Highly recommend!!!

They're communication and timeliness was so appreciated, I'm looking forward to any excuse to order another cake can't recommend this bakery enough! Yes, the cake tastes as good as it looks!

    This is the third cake I have ordered from Hudson Cakery and not only are they all beautiful, they taste delicious. I looked through pictures on their website for this cake, and picked out various things I liked and they created the perfect cake. So many people commented at the party how beautiful and delicious the cake was. Highly recommend (but order in advance) and will be ordering from them again. Thank you Hudson Cakery!!

    The four hot cocoa bombs - two peppermint and two chocolate.

    The Hudson Cakery is a private cake shop in Weehawken. They do not accept walk-ins so all my interactions with them (two purchases) have been via email and everything has gone smoothly and wonderfully. I've purchased their summer cookie decorating kit and also their hot cocoa bombs. I have not purchased a custom cake (yet) but all the pictures of their cakes are stunning! I hope to buy one soon. The summer cookie decorating kit was a super fun activity to do with my kids when we were inside on a hot summer day. We actually took part in a Virtual Yelp event where, Jennifer, the owner walked us through decorating each cookie with icing and different kinds of sprinkles. We also learned a lot about The Hudson Cakery which was a lot of fun! After following them on Instagram, I saw a post announcing they were selling hot cocoa bomb boxes. The box included four hot cocoa bombs (two peppermint and two chocolate, but you can substitute the peppermint with more chocolate if that's not your thing). I immediately jumped on the chance to purchase a box of these since I've seen them in action and desperately wanted some of my own. After emailing the bakery, I heard back from Jennifer. I set up a pick up time, paid via my phone, and it was as easy as that! Pick up is really easy... you just park right by the shop, give them a call, and someone runs outside to drop off the box to you. So simple! The best! I even forgot to pick up my bombs on the scheduled date, so I emailed Jennifer the next day in a panic and she said I could pick them up on that day. So accommodating! Thank you Jennifer! The hot cocoa bombs were so delicious! The best hot chocolate I've had in quite some time. The chocolate was decadent! The kids had a blast pouring the hot milk over the bombs and watching the marshmallows explode from inside the bomb. I highly recommend The Hudson Cakery for all your speciality bakery and cake needs!

    My daughter ordered wedding cake and they matched pic exactly! Absolutely beautiful and tasted amazing! Easy to work, no problems At All. Definitely recommend.

    The utmost and all absolute props to The Hudson Cakery and their team, they deserve that at its highest esteem! I mean.. what a GORGEOUS and absolutely delicious cake.. the cupcakes were superb as well and the cookies super yummy! Honestly, the cupcakes were the best I've ever had, and I've had my share of cupcakes!! But the CAKE?! It broke not just mine but everyone's heart to cut into it!! I wanted to bring it home and place it on a stand! My guests were asking for the same! So thankful to Hudson House of Play for recommending them, it was a gift to us! The party would not have been what it was without what Jennifer and her team brought to the table (literally )! Who knew that something that looked this beautiful could also taste that good??! And it sure did!! I highly recommend Jennifer and her out of this world talent for any of your occasions! Whether it's a birthday party like mine or a wedding etc. The price is fair and perfect, honestly, for me, the job they did was priceless!! Pictures speak a thousand words, so just LOOK and it's clear!! Again, so deeply thankful!!

I was shocked that there's nearly 2000 reviews and I hadn't heard about it but definitely walked by several times. Upon entering, I immediately got school classroom vibes from the decor to the desks used as tables. We went with 3 cupcake options but they have more to choose from and even customizable ones. The Peach Cobbler Cupcake was the Winning Flavor on Food Network's Cupcake Wars! I can see why. The peach purée along with the brown sugar streusel was so good! The Blueberry Cheesecake Cupcake had a delicious cheesecake cream and the blueberries were tart and juicy. The Creme Brûlée Cupcake had a creamy custard and caramelized glaze on top which is exactly what you'd expect from creme brûlée. These cupcakes were some of the best I've ever had! All 3 were made with vanilla cake which I have to say was super moist, not too sweet, and tasted great. Next time, I would try their other cupcake bases or even do a TooGoodToGo order which would give you an even better deal on these!

Remember when this was one of Carrie's hangouts on "Sex & the City"? That exposure triggered nearly 70 locations worldwide. Jamie W and I were back in the neighborhood after a tipple at Julius'. I have to admit I never understood the appeal of the cupcakes. However, I had never tried their banana pudding before, and I liked how you can grab a readymade carton from the fridge and pay for it right away. Meanwhile, a lot of self-absorbed women were crowded around the cupcake display waiting for their little boxes. We took our stash across the street to the mostly deserted playground.. Ah, so the pudding was the draw all along. We grabbed two, the $6.25 Chocolate Peanut Butter (Photo 5) and the $5.75 Classic Banana (Photo 4). They both have lighter-than-expected whipped cream and sliced bananas. Of course the classic layers Nilla vanilla wafers, while the other applies Oreo cookie crumbles and chocolate chunks. No complaints about either, though the classic still wins. FOOD - 4 stars..indulgent treats, aren't they? AMBIANCE - 3 stars...still packed after all these years, purely takeout SERVICE - 4 stars...for the pudding yes but for cupcakes, it's a sea of estrogen TOTAL - 4 stars...forget the cupcakes!

I loved how it was creamy, light, and cohesive. It was a small shop for grab and go, and it was early in the day, so there was no wait. Staff were friendly.
