Custom Cakes in Pittsburgh, PA

“My partner and I got dinner down the street and just happend to stop when we saw signs for rolled ice cream. Imagine my surprise when I saw so much more than that! Plenty of baked deserts, fresh breads, and authentic Asian foods. And BUBBLE TEA. I would share a picture of what I got but it was DELICIOUS and I drank it pretty fast. I can't wait to go back. The staff was very kind and pleasant and the whole shop has a cozy vibe and is immaculately cleaned. 1 million stars if I could.“

“Scoops is a Pittsburgh ice cream, micro chain. There is a store on Liberty Avenue in Bloomfield.

Very fast customer service despite a busy day due to the hottest day in Pittsburgh in 2025.

So many flavors to choose from. 40 Total, including Ince Creams, Sherbert, Dairy Free, Yogurts, and Limited Time Items. They have cones and cups and all types of toppings.
You can also get pints, quarts and gallons of any flavor to take home. Very well run business.

I tried the Peanut Butter Twist Yogurt. It was delicious!“

“Best biscotti I’ve ever had, so packed with flavor and reminded me of an amaretti cookie but had a delightful chewy texture. The service was also excellent, the woman at the counter was so lovely and kind, she went the extra mile and even brought us out a free coffee to have with our biscotti. Great experience I’ll definitely be back and recommend to friends.“

“I ordered a Cinco de Mayo themed cake for a birthday and Cinco de Mayo party. The taco cake was a hit and very easy to slice. Thank you, The Cakery“

“We absolutely loved our vegan wedding cake from The Butterwood Bake Consortium for our Summer 2023 wedding. The team at Butterwood Bake Consortium was kind and communicative. Our two-tiered orange olive oil cake with vanilla semi-naked buttercream was so delicious and the florals were the perfect touch for our wedding theme! I highly recommend for all your wedding cake needs!!! Photography: @nicoleviews photography“

“Always great ice cream and the girl serving was very kind and hard-working!“

“Prantls has historically been my FAVORITE bakery in all of Pittsburgh. But prices have really gone up in recent years (almost doubling for my favorite items), and quality standards have gone down. The last 2 times I visited the North Side location, I received a stale cookie. A stale Prantls cookie is still pretty great, but I used to pay about $2 for a fresh iced cookie, and now it’s at least $4 and stale… 2 visits in a row! I visited on July 8th and saw old Fourth of July cookies with red frosting that had faded into the white frosting. I also ordered an Almond Torte bar (a take down of their famous cake, and something I’ve ordered many times). I mentioned that I get it every year on my anniversary because it’s what we had at our wedding. Today I received a chocolate version of the almond torte. It was quite a surprise when we unboxed it at home! Not what I asked for. I’m still giving them 4 stars because I know inflation sucks, the pandemic was hard on small businesses, and even stale or incorrectly ordered Prantls is still pretty tasty. But if you visit, maybe try out the Shadyside location?“

“We had a great time at my nephews graduation party. The high light was your ice cream stand!! We all loved it.“

“If I need a cake I always order it from this location even though it's quite far out of my way simply because the Squirrel Hill location is terrible. Staff at this one are always friemily the store is clean and the cakes always turn out perfect“

“I love this location. They have a super friendly staff, and a small crew which provides the opportunity to get to know their customers. Awesome location right by a ton of stores for a good day out. The staff go above and beyond to find something for everyone, and very clearly care about their work and the company.“

“FANTASTIC FULL SHEET CAKE! I ordered a really large full sheet cake for a retirement party at an office building downtown. They put a custom design on the cake and added beautiful decorative flowers it was just perfect! They delivered the cake early enough in the day and everyone in our office building said it tasted GREAT! I have recommended Prantl's to our office staff for future cake orders and the service I received was warm and friendly. Thank you Prantl's for helping to make our party a huge success!“

“First time having it at an event today in Homewood. Some of the best ice cream I have ever had. The water ice is to die for. This place is truly a must try“

“If I talk about something tasty or peaceful for myself, it means Cold Stone. Their ice cream is so good and so fresh! I’ve been a regular customer for 8 years now, and this is my favorite place. Yes, their prices are a bit higher compared to other stores, but the quality is also top-notch. I really like the ice cream from this store. Even all the employees are very nice.“

“The almond torte from Prantl’s was the only cake we considered for our wedding, and it was absolutely beautiful and delicious! The booking, scheduling, and delivery all went smoothly. We look forward to ordering an almond torte each year to celebrate our anniversary!
