Custom Cakes near Elmont, NY

“Layers Bakeshop is hands down my favorite bakery. The first time I ever had Layers was actually in Pakistan, so it already held a special place for me. Later on, a close friend introduced me to the U.S. locations and fun fact, she and her brother actually own the franchise. They’ve truly done an amazing job with every store so far.

I’ve been to about three Layers locations, and while the Elmont Layers Bakeshop location is the smallest one, it’s also the closest to me, which makes it my go-to. The quality, presentation, and consistency are always on point.

Honestly, I love almost everything from this bakery, but right now my absolute favorite is anything Lotus-flavored you really can’t go wrong with it. The desserts are rich, balanced, and never disappoint.

I also noticed they’ve started making candles, which is such a smart and creative addition to the brand. It just shows how much thought they put into expanding beyond desserts while keeping the same aesthetic and quality.

If you haven’t tried Layers yet, you’re seriously missing out. Highly recommend stopping by especially the Elmont location if you’re nearby.“

“First time at Leonetti. Loved the place, the layout and open space of the sitting area, the way they have their cakes placed inside the fridge, not overcrowded and are able to appreciate the beauty of the cakes. Everything looked amazing and very clean. I really recommend Leonetti to anyone in the area or just passing by!“

“Maria’s Sans Rival cake lives up to the meaning of its name, undoubtedly unrivaled. It was made of sheets of chewy meringue loaded with crunchy cashew nuts, alternating with thick layers of “melt-in-your mouth” buttercream. Glad it was not too sweet that I was able to enjoy large servings of this delightful dessert. Great with coffee or tea.“

“Everything I’ve tried here has been delicious. The ham and cheese croissant was amazing even cold. The chocolate chip cookie had the perfect salty-sweet balance. I don’t even like blueberries, but their blueberry bun with cream cheese frosting was so good I had to pause. The blondie was soft and rich and just right.

It’s really hard to find a bakery where everything hits. This place does. You can tell there’s real care in the food. This isn’t just baking to bake, there’s love in it.“

“I live out of state, but when I visit my friends, I always find a huge joy coming here. The coffee is great, and the suggestions given by the owner herself are divine. It's always a 10/10! I will always recommend coming here and supporting a small business, especially one that makes you feel at home!“

“We had the best experience ever with this bakery - the cake was included in our venue pricing through this bakery, and I can definitely see why! Working with Alison to schedule and have our tasting, which was just down right fun...(because of COVID we had to take our samples home... and she loaded us up with some extras to share with friends) to showing her our vision for the cake on the day of, and then actually SEEING and EATING it at our wedding was perfect all the way through. They really incorporated everything we asked for, and it was simply delicious!!! We even asked for an extra birthday cupcake for our nephew to have on the day of the wedding, and they made it sooo cute! (wish I could figure out how to add a picture here... It was SO pretty!!!)“

“My family has ordered 3 cakes from Nita's because her desserts are that good. Recently she made the cake for our babyshower and everyone loved it. She is extremely professional and follows the design you ask for while adding a personal touch. Highly recommend her!“

“Excellent baked goods. Delicious pastry and the CANOLI“

“They make an addictive challah, I nicknamed it the crack-cocaine challah. You need a twelve step program after having that or their incredible pastries once. Five stars is not enough for this bakery, at least 100 stars.“

“I ordered a specialty cake for my mother and it was FABULOUS! The cake was unique, 2 - tier choc and vanilla with a hazelnut cream filling. It was covered in a lovely lavender frosting with lace flowers and unique lettering. It was fresh and special!“

“I got custom guava cupcakes with blue frosting and they were INCREDIBLE! So much guava in the center and they weren’t too sweet. The frosting created the perfect balance💜 They also gave us these special containers to pack the cupcakes individually, we took them on a 2 hr hike, unpacked them at the top and they were INTACT. Such care and attention to detail. HIGHLY recommend“

“The best ubeflan cake we’ve tasted. Moist and the flan is so creamy. Will definitely order again. Good communication with Euneka. Highly recommended! 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Rainbow cookies Cannolis Napoleon Cheesecake A MUST !! The bread… best in the world“

“Absolutely beautiful cake! Lovely staff and easy communication. I only docked a point because for a strawberry shortcake I anticipated a fresh strawberry and this cake was artificially flavored with a strawberry syrup which made it a bit too sweet. But my daughter was happy so I was happy. I would definitely order again (though not this flavor)“

“Delicious ice cream!!🍦🍨🍧😊“

“Yes Yes Yes I will recommend it“

“It’s incredibly difficult to find a bakery that can make a delicious gluten-free free cake, but Sisters has not only nailed the recipe they have also set a very high standard! Those of us who have to be GF constantly lower our expectations. That’s just how it is! My birthday cake was the most delicious cake I’ve ever had and it was gorgeous! Thank you so much for the attention to detail and for being such amazing bakers! ???“

“Everything is delicious and fresh! Cookies, pies, cakes, pound cakes, cheesecakes, and the pastries. Holidays are extra special. I only go here whenever I bring something when visiting and everyone loves it. I buy extra for myself too cant resist. Hands down the best bakery I travel from a few towns away.“

“I have been looking for a Soft Serve Ice Cream spot near me for years, finally one has opened, Thank God! They were very nice and accomadating. They give huge portions which is awesome. The place was clean and organized. Everyone was polite and did not skimp on the brownies on my Sundae, again they have awesome portions. This will be my go to soft serve ice cream.“

“I got a custom cake and cupcakes made for my daughter’s birthday, and I couldn’t be happier! The cakes/cupcakes were delicious and looked absolutely beautiful- the design was better than we even asked for. Everyone that I interacted with during the process- ordering and picking up- was so kind and helpful- and compared to other custom cakes, the prices were pretty reasonable. Highly highly recommend!“

“We ordered a 3-tier cake for our wedding banquet. I showed them a photo of what I wanted and they created it exactly like the inspo. They were really nice when we came to ask about it and also offered us some samples. We got the black sesame with coconut jelly flavor. Everyone at our party loved the cake! We also order the lava cakes for birthdays a lot and they are always a hit! All my friends love the mango pomelo sago one.“

“Demi held it down at this Carvel location with superb service. She was the only staff there that day where there was 7+ customers and still went well and beyond for me when I was pre-ordering a birthday cake. The boss over the phone was also very kind with going through the ordering process and Demi made sure we get everything accurate and helped tailored what flavors, layers, size, designs, and so forth that was recommended. Demi made it super seamless and made sure I was satisfied with my order.
Medium square cake $32~ with edible image print out $4 with free writing and custom crunch toppings as well as border designs was such a great deal here.“

“This place is one of my favorite places to come to for breakfast. Its a korean cafe offering everything you would get at paris baguette and what you would order at a deli. All the counter folks speak both korean and english and theyre courteous. The older korean folks like to come here and gather here in the mornings while a mix of customers for the cakes, breakfast food and their coffees. My only negative is since th egg price hike, theyve doubled everything in price. The prices have gone down and yet, their prices stay the same. All in all, id come back here to treat myself and the family every now and then.“

“I come here at least once a week and everytime I try a new flavor from the assortment of flavors in their store. The workers there are very ecstatic and always ask about my day. Great ice cream with different toppings. Everyone who gave a bad review is mid and obviously wrote their bad review on the wrong store. Keep up the great work!“

“They have a Hong Kong style rice noodle or cheung fun (肠粉) that is not commonly found, I highly recommend the rice noodles with fish balls. It has a peanut sauce and sesame seeds as well as hoisin and soy sauce. It is absolutely delicious, reminds me of my childhood.“

“Ordered a pull apart cupcake cake for my daughter's 1st bday. All the guests enjoyed. Tasted fresh and delicious. Thank you !!!“

“The cake was exactly what we asked for... It was beautiful and delicious. We got a layer with Matcha and another with Taro, both of which were flavorful. She uses light fluffy cream instead of fondant (THANK GOODNESS)... Definitely recommend if you're looking for a display cake that's moist/delicious.“

“Free sundae on wednesdays with bae!I got the creamy orange creamsicle flavor and bae got pistachio. You get two free toppings on each and they both have to be the same size. I couldn’t finish mine it was so big! That’s what she said.Staff was super attentive and Friendly and they kept the customers flowing and going.Would definitely come back on a Wednesday for something sweet.“

“I used to live in Kew Gardens and would drive to Polito's just for their nut cake. I still remember how delicious everything tasted, and really miss going there. I wish they had mail order!“

“Fantastic afternoon making tempered ganache filled chocolate bonbons…Sarah is a great instructor and her handmade chocolates even better!“

“Uhhhh, it’s carvel, of course it’s amazing in every way!!! Love it there, yummy and the staff is great. The owner is such a nice person... we love him.“

“I love this bakery so much that I drive down from Albany, NY. I am so disappointed the cinnamon rolls are now cinnamon buns. I tried the cinnamon buns but they are extremely gooey and just do not taste cooked. Please bring back the old recipe and make cinnamon rolls again!“

“I come here some Wednesdays for the BOGO soft serve. The same two guys are always here and they are always very polite and helpful. Some days there are crowds of kids or families waiting to be served and they still provide good service. I love Carvel in general and this is a good location, very reliable. Parking can be iffy if there isn't anything open on the street but you may just need to find something residential or a block or so away and walk.“

“I'm a BIG coffee person. When I overheard another person talking about how the coffee is here, of course I had to try it. Another day I passed by got a BLT and they were brewing coffee. My senses were amazed by the smell. I tried it and was deeply in nostalgia. Soooo gooood.“

“I was walking down the street and my phone died, so I walked in here and asked to use a phone to call my mother, one of the servers let me use there phone and gave me a small cup of ice cream to cheer me up, I was having an awful day and this really helped :) thank you cold stone“

“I absolutely love this bakery! Every product is incredibly fresh and you can really taste the difference that comes from everything being handmade. It's like a little neighborhood gem, perfect for grabbing a quick bite before heading to work. The variety of pastries and breads is amazing, and I always leave feeling energized and ready to tackle the day. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re looking for quality and freshness!“

“It's so beneficial that this location is now always open until 1am. They are always kind to me when I visit this establishment. The vibes are always on point, just like the music;). The ice cream is always stacked high and even if the ice cream is low they will get it from the back with no issues. I highly recommend this ice cream spot to all looking for a late night snack, or just a snack whenever!“

“The only carvel in Queens that has a cookie monster option and it is the BEST. I am an ice cream feign. So i will drive for some ice cream and most definitely when my friends come into town I take them to this specific carvel (if they've never had carvel ice cream before) because I can ensure they will like it. The staff at this location is the best they are efficient, kind, and usually younger too which is so refreshing. Keep it up and please never get rid of the cookie monster !“

“Outstanding customer service!!!
The staff were super friendly, actually trying to make conversations while making my order.

Freshest ice cream hands down, and boy they do go all in with toppings, like literally covered my entire cup.

I am never visiting any other Carvel.“
