Milk Bar 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Manhattan, NY

Milk Bar is a sweet (and occasionally savory) shop that’s been turning familiar treats upside down and on their heads, shaking up the dessert scene since 2008. Bon Appetit magazine called us “one of the most exciting bakeries in the country. We’re not big on feeding the hype beast. But we’re super into feeding our flavorful treats to those who crave the unexpected.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I have always loved Milk Bar cakes and they have made appearances throughout our relationship- at birthdays, our engagement, and just for fun. So it was a no-brainer that we wanted to have it as our wedding cake. We got married in Greenville, SC in October 2022 and it was so easy to arrange for them to be shipped down and arrive 2 days before the wedding. They arrived at our home and we dropped them off with our caters who placed the 6" cake on top of a 10" cake for the wedding day! It looked beautiful and our guests raved about how great it tasted. Months later, we still have guests asking where it was from! We also provided plastic to-go boxes for guests to take home the extras at the end of the night. We had 80 guests and purchased four 10" cakes and one 6" cake. Thank you Milk Bar for the easy and delicious process!

Empire Cake was a delicious addition to our wedding day! We went with Raspberry Lemon- it was so yummy, and we kept the design beautifully simplistic so it would be the perfect backdrop to add fresh flowers from our florist. The Empire team so helpful and communicative throughout the planning process. Shout out to Bonnie, who was our main point of contact. Highly recommend Empire for any of your cake needs!

Thank you for considering us for this very special celebration.

We are science people so precision and details are a huge part of our lives. This vintage buttercream cake was exactly what we envisioned and asked for. The flavor mimicked strawberry dipped chocolate and the fresh strawberries were cut exactly as we asked. Perfect. Did you know that Aromas makes gifts! We added a few of those and our guest are still talking about the infused lollipops. A gem of an experience.

Paanmasti LLC 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Manhattan, NY

Niki Vaswani created Paanmasti from a heartfelt wish to bring a beautiful piece of her heritage into life’s most meaningful celebrations. Growing up, paan was more than a treat, it was a moment of joy shared at weddings, family gatherings, and milestones. When Niki moved to New York, she dreamed of reimagining that tradition with elegance and modern flair. Paanmasti was born to offer FDA Approved, tobacco-free, handcrafted, upscale paan that feels special—something memorable for brides, grooms, and guests. For Niki, every paan is crafted with love, nostalgia, and the hope of adding a sweet, unique touch to your wedding day.

Paanmasti LLC made our dessert situation so easy from start to finish. Their team was professional and quick to respond to all our questions, which gave us peace of mind leading up to the big day. We ordered their chocolate paan as part of our dessert spread, and it arrived right on schedule—our caterer simply placed it on the table with everything else, no extra setup needed. The quality was truly outstanding and our guests loved having something unique to try. The upscale presentation and impressive flavors made it feel like we'd brought in a specialty dessert course without any of the hassle. We'd definitely work with them again for our next celebration.

The Evercake 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Starts at $9
  • Serves Manhattan, NY

The Evercake concept started as I was ordering flowers online while skimming Pinterest for my toddler's birthday cake. I wanted a beautiful cake that I could add to a cart and have delivered. Why didn't this exist? A few months later, The Evercake was born. We are different in that we are strictly buttercream based (no overworked fondant here). Our recipes are tried and true, slightly less sweet, and with designs aimed to be worthy of your celebrations. We don't have a traditional storefront with overhead to worry about it, which means we don't have to mark up our cakes to account for this.

We were thrilled with the wedding cake and desserts from The Evercake. From the very beginning, they were quick to reply to our messages and easy to communicate with, which made the process of selecting and customizing our cake a breeze. On the day of the wedding, the cake was absolutely beautiful and looked perfect in our photos. But most importantly, it tasted amazing! Our guests raved about how delicious the cake and desserts were. The Evercake team truly helped make our special day even more perfect.

Daniel Colonel LLC 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Manhattan, NY

Daniel Colonel loves telling stories through dessert. As a child, he was fascinated with food and always interested how it was made. He took his love for food, and sweet tooth to the Culinary Institute of America where he graduated in Baking and Pastry Management. Daniel's favorite part of the process is connecting with the couple and getting to know their love story. Wedding cakes with sugar flowers are his specialty but during the pandemic, he has began other sweet ventures including mini premium desserts that are served in cones and cookie boxes.

I've hired Daniel with Bocconi Foods for multiple clients and each one has been over the moon happy! The quality is fantastic.

Working with Abigail at Rosebloom Cakes for our September 2025 wedding was nothing short of a wonderful experience! Very easy to communicate with, Abigail took time to understand our vision—and made great suggestions when we were unsure—and created a beautiful cake for us. She did a tasting with us at our home, which was, of course, super convenient, where we discussed flavors, aesthetics, and more. Our wedding cake turned out absolutely beautiful (photo attached), and it tasted great! 100% recommend working with Abigail for your next event.

Hi, I'm Lilli, a British/Danish baker based in NY. I left a career in design consulting because I was bursting with ideas for truly unique cakes that tell personal stories. I journeyed around the world to train in my favourite restaurants and bakeries, like Rochelle Canteen in London, and Blue Hill at Stone Barns in New York. There I learned discipline and craft, but what I really discovered was the joy of creating really meaningful, personal moments. And Lilli Maren Bakes was born!

Lilli Maren Bakes made my Bridal shower cake and it was absolutely gorgeous. I wanted a passion fruit flavor with a pretty design - she executed perfectly with passion fruit jelly hearts and a beautiful design. I also used Lilli for our wedding favors (little cookies with my husbands and my initials) and everyone absolutely LOVED them. She can really do anything, classic or more modern. Tell her your vision, and it’ll definitely come to life!
