Has anyone used La Bonne Boulangerie in Port Jefferson (or their sister bakery Dortoni Bakery) for their cake? Or tasted one from there??
Thanks in advance!

Thanks! We are thinking of getting our cake from here- but they don't do tastings (kind of strange). But i've had their cookies- and they have the BEST rainbow cookies i've ever tasted
So before we spend the I wanted to get some opinions

My wedding cake was from Dortoni's, and it was DISGUSTING. Everyone constantly raves about how Dortoni's is one of the best bakeries on L.I. - well imho if that's the case, then yuck!!! We had a yellow cake with cannoli cream filling, and it was awful. The frosting was absolutely grotesque - it tasted like toothpaste!

If you want a real bakery, try Veniero's...Click

Or Two Little Red Hens
Click

Or Crumbs
Click

They're all in Manhattan tho...

My husband is a LI boy, and he suggests Cafe Napoli in Valley Stream.

Nope! It wasn't a fondant cake - they wanted a lot more $$ for that option. That's why I was surprised - I didn't think a bakery could mess up such a basic cake!

My RH provides a cake from either La Bonne Boulangerie or Rolling Pin...but like you said, La Bonne Boulangerie doesn't give tastings...so we bought a little cupcake to sample. It was a bit dry, but it's hard to tell if that's what the cake would be like. Rolling Pin did give tastings...so we went with them.
