Custom Cakes near Howard Beach, NY

“After 3 years of not posting a comment, update, I went today and the truth was it was a disappointment, my banana caramel crunch ice cream did not have caramel 😖😖. :////://

Comment from 3 years ago…I love the ice cream at this place.“

“Such a wonderful bakery with unique flavors. We ordered a Victorian Sponge Cake with Raspberry filling and the whipped cream topping. The cake was gorgeous, tasted amazing and was incredibly light- not overly sweet or heavy. Clio was so helpful in answering any questions I had before ordering and the prices are on par with other local bakeries, if not a bit cheaper.

They also have a storefront that is great to stop by as well. Highly recommend!“

“Pedi un cake para 20 personas y en tamaño me ofrecen uno alto y el que me llegó fue“

I would recommend to everyone who wants to get the cute and sweet vibes . As the employees are really welcoming and nice all the time. Thank you for this!??“

“The most creative, beautiful and delicious cakes EVER! You will not be disappointed - I promise! Since discovering JM, I will drive 2 1/2 hours to get a cake for special occasions..I’ve been doing this for 4 years and never disappointed Gorgeous cake designs and exotic fillings - truly appreciated by everyone. Whenever I bring 1 or even 3 cakes (each with a different theme) - the crowd is in awe and the recipients never want to cut it because the cakes are honestly that beautiful and everyone is in awe. Crystal is an absolute gem and sooooo helpful with every order. I simply love her (happy birthday again Crystal) HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“A great ice cream shop open late to satisfy your munchies and late night sweet tooth cravings. I could not be happier with what i got, i think it was the strawberry cheesecake of some sort. It was really nice though, and they definitely do not skimp on the toppings!!“

“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.“

“Esteban is THE BEST. The arepas are great, sure. But come and sit down and chat with the owner who will take the best care of you, make you feel like family, and make you laugh a little too. Great little spot in the LES for a late night bite. Don’t sleep on this place!

Vegetarian options: Vegana, Gato, Quiches, Turnovers“

“This review is a long time coming. Bill, made one of the best cakes I've ever seen for the US Open. Such a pleasure to work with and his creation was amazing! Would definitely use his services again.“

“Ight real talk from a chef’s perspective, I gotta put y’all on to this underated hidden gem in Ozone Park Queens

It’s called Sweet Lil Sweets, a small, family-owned bakery and honestly? It blew me away.

I tried the banana pudding it is comparable to magnolia bakery but better !!
creamy, smooth, real bananas, balanced to perfection. As a chef, I appreciate when something simple is done right.

The tres leches cake? Moist, rich, but still light. That kind of texture doesn’t happen by accident it takes care.

I wasn’t even planning on ordering the white hot chocolate, my boo did but yo... one sip and I was hooked. Silky, not too sweet just comforting.

The iced coffee? Strong like Zeus fresh, no bitterness. Very solid it woke me up to reality

And they even let me sample their signature cheesecake cupcake bites it was banging Creamy little flavor bombs. You already know I wanted more. And that's coming from someone who doesn't really like cake like that

Listen, this spot has heart. You can taste it in every bite. As a chef, I know how much goes into this kind of quality and they’re doing it without the spotlight.

Don’t sleep. Go now while it’s still a secret. Sweet Lil Sweets Ozone Park. Trust me
Would I come back again ? absolutely! 5 out of 5 stars“

“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 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“OMG! I am not exaggerating when I say the cake I received was not short of amazing. Chocolate Devil's Food with Raspberry buttercream. Tangy Raspberry preserves made from scratch by Jaclyn as well between the layers. Everyone who ate a piece of my birthday cake could not be more satisfied with the level of artistry in the decoration as well as the execution of the taste of the cake itself. I don't think I can go back to buying store bought cakes. They would just fail in comparison!“

“Amazing customer service, amazing cakes..so happy that we found you.“

“Got the popular pistachio raspberry cake slice and the mango passion fruit mousse cake. They were both great. The cake slice looks slim but is quite filling. The mango passionfruit mousse had a coconut base which was a little too sweet but the tanginess from the mousse balanced it well. Overall, it’s a decent spot to go to for those sweet cravings.“

“What can I say? It’s the namesake. And it’s worthy of the name.

Café Saint-Michel serves some of the most interesting coffee drinks in the neighborhood—my favorite is the black sesame latte. Deep, mellow, a little mysterious. The pastries rotate seasonally, but the rhubarb custard danish with orange-laminated dough. No words. Buttery folds that melt into each other like silk in heat.

When I bite into the center, the true middle, it hits: thin flaky crust, thick custard, tart rhubarb exploding across tongue and cheek. It reminds me of the first month of falling for someone you’ll eventually love. That exact bite. Divine craving, new flavors, heady aromas. Intoxicating. Fleeting. There’s only ever one bite like that. The danish builds to it. My last relationship started there. One perfect mouthful, then it was all downhill, like heli-skiing a black diamond at Snowbird. Exhilarating. Dangerously consuming. Then gone in a rush of chilled air.

After the pastry, I usually sip my black sesame latte on the walk home. It’s mellow and wide. A gentle counterpoint to all that sweetness. It reminds me of what happens after love. When the sugar fades and you’re left with yourself again. Still standing. Still full, somehow. The calm expanse of a vista from solid ground.

Café Saint-Michel is like that. A place to touch base. A place to remember how to come back to yourself.“

“Great cake and the home of the Biggie Smalls Cookie!“

“We recently hosted our child’s birthday party at Chillato , and it was absolutely amazing from start to finish!

The staff went above and beyond to make the experience special. From customized decorations and dedicated party host, everything was so well-organized and kid-friendly. The highlight, of course, was decorating custom pops and fresh waffle cones with fun toppings.

The party space was clean, cheerful, and perfectly sized for our group. The kids had a blast, and the adults loved the relaxed, happy vibe (and let’s be real—the ice cream too!).

If you’re looking for a unique, low-stress birthday venue with sweet treats and sweet people, this is the place. Highly recommend!“

“Worth the mile and a half walk!!! I love supporting GF bakeries and this one didn’t disappoint!! I especially loved the berry pastry bar (I apologize for the vague description) and the lemon poppyseed mini Bundt. SO GOOD and the service was excellent.“

“Have been meaning to try this place out and it was great. Tried four different cupcakes, mini carrot loaf and two cookies. My family loved it all. So pretty too. Can’t wait to go back.“

“Love them cookies 🍪 the best“

“I ordered a small cake for my wedding. I wanted to make sure that EVERYBODY EATS - especially my guests that are celiac/allergic to nuts! I am SO grateful to have found this bakery. Everyone came up to me and told me the cake was wonderful, absolutely delicious. Thank you so much, Pedro! You are so talented!! It was beautiful and really good!!!“

“Had our wedding cake done by Cake Studio NYC and cannot overstate how great the entire experience was. Easy to work with, incredibly responsive, and was able to accommodate the order with just a few days turnaround. The cake was beautiful and absolutely delicious beyond our wildest dreams. So grateful to Duana for helping to make our wedding day so memorable!“

“My sister was having a beach chic baby shower because her and her husband do not want to know the gender. She wanted cupcakes that looked like succulents that also taste delicious. I immediately thought of Huascar and asked if he could do it. I traveled to Florida with them and they were a hit. I can’t describe how beautiful they look and I can tell you the taste of theses cupcakes were out of this world. Everyone was contacting my sister afterwards to see where she’d got them. 😋😋😋“

“The ice cream here is amazing!
I tried the vanilla and chocolate soft serve twist—so smooth, creamy, and perfectly sweet. You can keep eating it without feeling overwhelmed. The shop itself has a nostalgic, old-school vibe and is always busy with families and kids stopping by. If you’re in the neighborhood, this place is definitely worth a stop to cool down with a classic cone!“

“I have used Nerwan for a couple of specialty cakes. Very talented, very accommodating, very delicious, and spot on service. This young entrepreneur went from working from home to a beautiful little location. It is a pleasure to contribute to her rise in this field, so give her a shot for your baking needs or just stop by and try her products you certainly will be pleasantly surprised and pleasantly satisfied.“

“I stumbled across this bakery after having a birthday dinner at Mas Tortilla a few blocks away. It was a great find.

I ordered a cappuccino, 2 Grand Opening cupcakes, and a box of macarons for my bf and I to share and it was all sooo good.

The cupcakes had a passionfruit icing/paste that I could tell was made with real passionfruit on the inside and the cake was the perfect texture and moisture level. As good as the cupcakes were though, the real star of the show was the macarons. They were out of this world. We tried one of every flavor and I was not let down. My favorites were the fruity pebbles and the earl grey.

We will definitely be back the next time we're in the area!“

“Nikki's cakes, cookies, decor everything is all so amazing. We got our wedding cake from her in addition to various celebration cakes past couple of years and could not recommend her enough. Her flavors are so unique and tasty - everyone complimented us on our cake at the wedding!“

“todo muy rico. las pastas . Los helados .todo“

“Red Gate Bakery is an experience that brings me back to loving life when it gets me down, when a hangover breaks me and/or when i want to experience heaven on earth. These unique concoctions are a once in a lifetime experience, unless you visit them weekly, which is recommended. While other bakeries get a lot of fame, these desserts are perfectly balanced so that you can eat them without feeling over-sugared. Go here. Be happy. You're welcome.“

“Esta muy rico la comida quesadillas de birria 🙈🙈🙈delicioso“

“This place is amazing - their croissants are fluffy buttery bliss and their other pastries are heavenly. The almond financier and the apple crumb are our current favorites, but we’re going to keep coming back to try new things over and over until we try everything :)“

“This cake was fantastic!!! The pic isn’t as pretty because I accidentally knocked off some strawberries in transit (not their fault — it was perfect at first haha), but boy did it taste delicious. We got a tres leches cake with vanilla custard, walnuts, and strawberries. It was a hit.

Ordering & pickup was so easy. Great options to choose from. Will be back!!!“

“Studio Multisweet never disappoints! Their cakes are always fresh, elegant, and just the right sweetness. I tried the mango passionfruit slice and it was incredible—so rich yet delicate. Beautiful packaging and great service too. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing place, bread is awesome, cakes are great and the service is always top notch. Vinny is a true angel, he made an awesome cake for my son and they even helped me out to the car with it. I highly recommend this place.“

“This is an absolutely overdue review to say thank you so much for your flexibility and part in making our bachelorette weekend as memorable as it was. The cake was a highlight of the weekend and our bride loved everything about it. You have a customer in me moving forward and I’ve already spread the word for anyone else who needs a cake made by someone who cares and is as talented as you. Keep being great!“

“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.“

“Food, pastries, empanadas and desserts here are all made in-house and they’re all delicious. You can tell their staff is super talented and they put a lot of love into their products. Their iced coffees are always on point and they do a great job of keeping their (albeit small) space clean and hospitable. The girls who I’ve interfaced with here are also really sweet. I’ve been coming here now for about 2+ years and have no idea why I haven’t written a review until now. I’m a fan of this neighborhood gem.“

“I called them at 4pm on a Friday asked about a tiramisu cake for my son’s girlfriend. They did not have it available but promised they would have one fresh for me on Saturday morning and they did not disappoint! It was the most moist yet airy perfect texture perfect sweetness cake EVER! Delicious and beautiful. ❤️“

“Staff, food & price are all top notch. Even crazy customers demanding proper placement of face masks cannot ruin the wonderful experience 😁“

“My absolute favorite yellow cake 🎂 with chocolate 🍫 frosting taste homemade and made with love. Definitely, will be ordering from LaSweetsNY for my next celebration. Support small business and I enjoy buying Black. (A+). Met the owner yesterday. Though the store hours have changed to opening at 11am, she permitted to make my purchase. Ms. L, was welcoming, sincere and a precious soul. Thank you Ms. L. Verrie“

“Adult bakery. Snooty atmosphere. Staff nicer in recent years“

“I went there tonight and met a young man named Kevin. He was so professional, attentive to my needs! A star ⭐️ Thank you for making the experience there personal! The Pistaschio thick shake was on point! May you go far in life ⭐️???“

“I ordered my wedding cake from this lovely place. It was a delicious experience to say the least. The staff is friendly and the pastry wizard is just that. I gave her a picture that I wish I could up load and not only did she replicate the exact design but the cake itself literally melted on our mouths. It was so light and fluffy my "husband" couldn't wait a year to eat the top. If you live anywhere in Brooklyn and have need of a baker this place is worth the drive. Trust you won't be disappointed💃🏿“

“These desserts were scrumptious!“

“Sweet (no pun intended) little bakery in Kew Gardens. The shop is not big and the selection is not huge but what they have is very good. I took home two Guava Puffs which were very good. The Crust was sweet and grumbly and it was bursting with Guava. I also took home something I had never tried or seen elsewhere. It's called French Nut. This one was filled with Apricot. Mom and I split it and it was enough to fill us up due to its richness. It was ?. The prices are very reasonable. The lady working there was very helpful and pleasant.“

“This store is an absolute Bushwick gem! Any makes the most amazing creamy cakes. Her customer service is also top notch. She was able to pivot, went out of her way to take care of us and corrected an order due to a slight miscommunication.
Definitely recommend“

“OMG The cupcakes are to die for. The frosting is amazing as it is not too sweet. The cupcakes are a perfect size, moist and have the delicious fresh homemade taste. I had the vegan chocolate cupcake and it had a delicious chocolate taste and was not that sweet at all. My daughter said it was the best cupcake she had. It was worth every penny and I can not recommend BKLYN Cake Studio enough for its delicious cupcakes. I definitely want to try the chocolate chip cookies with sea salt next.“

“Have been meaning to try this place out and it was great. Tried four different cupcakes, mini carrot loaf and two cookies. My family loved it all. So pretty too. Can’t wait to go back.“
