We couldn’t be happier with our wedding cake! Casa Gioia made our wedding cake and after changing the design last minute and trying to find the best solution to our design I can say with confidence that our cake was not only the most beautiful cake but had the best flavor. Our guests raved about it, and there wasn’t a single slice left by the end of the night.

We had the pleasure of attending a cake tasting that far exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, everything was beautifully arranged and welcoming. The variety of cake toppers offered a truly personalized experience; all flavors delicious! The attention to detail was remarkable!
The champagne was a wonderful touch, elevating the entire tasting and making it feel like a mini celebration. It was the perfect palate cleanser between bites and added an extra layer of sophistication to the event.
The team was knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about their craft. They offered helpful suggestions while allowing us to explore our own preferences.

Casa Gioia truly brought my vision to life with the most stunning Dominican cake I’ve ever had.
From the moment I saw it, I was in awe — the intricate shell details, the soft elegant color, and the dreamy base were everything I hoped for and more. Every bite took me back to sweet childhood memories. The flavor, texture, and presentation were beyond perfect.
Mari was incredibly sweet throughout the entire process. She kept me updated every step of the way and made the whole experience such a pleasure. Thank you for your talent, care, and kindness — you’ve made a forever customer out of me!
With gratitude,

✨ The BEST wedding cake & pastry experience ever! ✨
Mari from Casa Gioia is truly a gem! From the moment we reached out, she was the sweetest and most attentive. As a bride, it means the world to feel supported and understood—and that’s exactly how Mari made us feel every step of the way.
Our cake tasting at her studio was honestly one of our favorite memories from the wedding planning process. Beautifully set up, delicious flavors, and Mari’s warmth made it all so special. And let me tell you… her cakes are absolutely to die for. Every single dessert we had was pure perfection.
Mari went above and beyond to bring our vision to life. She personally went out shopping for trays and displays to match our aesthetic, and kept in constant communication to make sure every detail was just right. That level of dedication and care is so rare—and we appreciated it more than words can say.
As a native Dominican, I can confidently say this is the BEST Dominican pastry spot in Miami. We Dominicans are very picky with our cakes—and Mari’s are everything they should be: moist, flavorful, and absolutely authentic. If you haven’t tried a Dominican cake before, I highly encourage you to visit Casa Gioia—you will not be disappointed!
Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the dessert table, and we were so proud to have chosen her. Once you try Casa Gioia, there’s no going back!
Mari—thank you for making our wedding day even sweeter. We adore you and are forever grateful! 💕🍰
Love always,
Geo and Chris

This baker never disappoints! The quality is always consistent and the artistry continues to impress. We were so pleased with our beautiful 1st birthday cake for my grand niece! Mari asked for inspirational photos and then we let her creativity take over. The cake was just precious and delicious as always. You will never go wrong with Casa Gioia. Thank you Mari for your delicious baking and exceptional attention to detail.

I recently tried Casa Gioia and everything was incredible! The alfajores, Baci de Gioia, and polvorones are out of this world. You can really feel the love Mari puts into each product — so delicious and beautifully made. Can’t wait to order some for my next event!

The best Dominican cake in Miami. I have over 20 years in Miami and Mari’s cakes are the best! I have been following her for a while and I decided to order a Dulce de Leche cake for my Father’s 81st birthday and we all loved it! I have already recommended her to my friends and family. Thank you Mari for keeping the Dominican traditions alive!

Casa Gioia did an absolutely wonderful job with my wedding cake and desserts—just look at those pictures! Mari is truly an artist. Her enthusiasm and dedication were evident in every detail, as she went above and beyond to coordinate with my wedding planner and create the most stunning dessert display. The attention she put into every bite was incredible—I almost felt guilty eating it (almost!). She took my photo inspiration for the cake and transformed it into actual art. Thank you again for your truly exceptional work!

Working with Mari is always a pleasure! She did our wedding cake and now our baby shower cake. Her attention to detail, execution and taste is top notch. When every guest wants more cake, you know it’s good! I’ll keep using Casa Gioia anytime I need a cake or desserts.

Casa Goia’s desserts were absolutely amazing! For our intimate wedding of 85 guests, we wanted a variety of desserts instead of a traditional wedding cake—but we still wanted those classic cake-cutting photos. Casa Goia created a stunningly realistic dummy cake, and not a single guest noticed it wasn’t real! We had a perfectly portioned real cake for the cutting moment, and it was just as delicious as it was beautiful. Every dessert was a masterpiece—both in presentation and taste. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about them, with many going back for seconds (and thirds!). On top of the incredible desserts, the owner was an absolute joy to work with—so kind, talented, and passionate about her craft. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!
I cannot recommend Casa Gioia enough! Every time I’ve ordered a cake from them, the experience has been absolutely flawless. The customer service is outstanding; Mari goes above and beyond to ensure every detail is perfect. The cakes themselves are incredible; the flavors are rich, cake is moist, decor/creativity execution is superb and cakes are absolutely delicious. What truly sets Mari apart is the artistry. The decoration execution is consistently amazing, capturing my vision perfectly every single time. Her work is a true testament to Dominican pride 😊. If you’re looking for a baker who delivers on taste, presentation, and service, this is the one! Also, shoutout to her mom who ensures every customer experience is a special one.

The best cakes in all of Miami. Their lemon pistachio cake is the most delicious cake ever. I don’t have pictures because everyone devours it every time before I can take a photo. I also love their Ferrero Rocher desserts, cookies, all of them!

Best Dominican cake( and from anywhere for that matter…) And the pies are excellent, delicately made. I always know that anything I order will be delicious. I am crazy about the Guava Polvorones… I order them when I have to give hostess gift and they are always a hit!
