Hi girls, Can anyone recommend some vendors to check out for cakes? I tried Cakes by Jay - and his cakes were delicious - but he just wasn't getting back to me at all. So I need to look for someone else. The cake is so important to me and I heard the cakes at my hall aren't that great. I'd love any suggestions!

Re: cakes
I am using Leonetti in Greenvale. They do beautiful work designwise and the cakes are delicious. They also gave us a good price on a very high end cake. Here is a pic of the cake we're going with. It's fondant with hand made sugar flowers
We also had a second cake--my husband's birthday was a few days after. For that one, I used Sugar-Couture (www.sugar-couture.com). Penny and I never met though. All of our discussions were via e-mail. I told her what the project was and the cake flavor. Everyone who had a slice said it was great.

Re: cakes
My girls ended up going with Carlos Bakery in Hoboken because they couldn't get in touch with Cakes By Jay. They are pretty good. They did my shower cake. It was so moist and delicious.
ETA: a woman I used to work with was friends with ehr and said he stuff tastes amazing. I got prices from her and they were very reasonable and she was very sweet. I just was looking for someone more local because it made it easier for us to meet with the. Only reason we didn't use her.

Re: cakes
For my wedding at the Swan Club on August 30, 2008 I used Leonetti Bakery for my wedding cake upon the Swan's Club recommendation and I must say that I was extremely disappointed in the service and product they provided. I was charge $630 dollars for a decorated floral cake (which the design was picked out from their booklet) , with red velvet as the base of the cake with a fondant layer and cream cheese filling. When I saw the cake at my wedding I was shocked and appalled at the appearance of the cake since it looked nothing like the picture from THEIR booklet and above all the cake was yellow and it was suppose to be white and the decoration of the cake looked extremely amateur. When me and my husband cut into the cake the bakery had given us a chocolate base cake with a marshmallow filling, which tasted horrible. When I called the wedding baker the next day to find out what happened he explained to me that he has other people make the cake and they couldn't make the red velvet for me so they decided to give me chocolate instead and that I should get over it. This bakery was extremely unprofessional and unapologetic for their error. They never once called me to tell me that they couldn't make the cake and made their own decision to give me whatever cake they wanted. After showing up to the bakery I was able to get half of my money back. This bakery felt like they could give us something completly different from what we ordered, never called us to tell us they cant make red velvet which didnt give us the chance to decide if we wanted to go ahead with the order and they showed us a booklet of other wedding cakes they claimed they had did in the past and when I picked one of their designs the final result was completly different and amateur from what they said they would do.
