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.

When we started planning our wedding, wanting a milk bar cake was one of the first things we decided on :) The team was so easy to work with and shipped us multiple cakes on time to our wedding location, and all arrived in perfect shape. The cakes were such a hit, our guests were so surprised to see milk bar all the way in upstate new york!

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!

  • Serves Manhattan, NY

Additional dessert options include dessert tapas, dessert buffets and or a gift to sweetly end your celebration. Our specialty: beautiful and delicious. We offer traditional cakes as well as keto, vegan, sugar free and gluten free options.

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.

With Big Day, Small Budget Cakes every couple can have a cake that brings cheer and warmth to their big day without sacrificing beauty, flavor, or your entire savings. You’ll be working directly with me, Allie, on creating the best cake for your budget. Whether it’s a simple cake for 25 guests or a large four-tier cake with embellishments, I have affordable options for you. You’re in good hands! I’ve baked and decorated cakes for over 10 years, and I’m still hooked! I began my journey training at ICE in New York City and worked at celebrated bakeries, including The Chocolate Room, Balthazar, and Billy’s Bakery.

Awarded Best of Zola
I found Allie on here, looking for a baker to create a cake for our engagement party and test as a dry-run for our wedding next year. Allie was so quick to respond, easy to work with, and friendly to chat with about what we were looking for. The sample flavors were all delicious, and we ultimately ordered a chocolate cake with raspberry jam and biscoff buttercream inside, and vanilla buttercream outside to show off a colorful, abstract design (which looked perfect). Everyone at the party loved it, and multiple people told me that whoever made this cake should also do our wedding cake, which was the plan all along! I even requested a mini-cake in a different flavor because I had a guest with a soy allergy and Allie was more than happy to accommodate for this. My fiancé even said we need to order another cake just for us "just because" because he doesn't want to wait until next year to have more cake from her. I highly recommend Allie!

Awarded Best of Zola
Carol brought my cake dreams to life! She was super communicative throughout the entire process and truly cared about my vision. The cake tasting process was seamless and all of the cake flavors I tasted were extraordinary. My husband who doesn’t even like cake was obsessed with how light and airy the cake was and flavorful the frosting and fillings were. We had a stunning 2-tier mini tall cake and 48 cupcakes and all were executed with such care. The cupcakes were so moist and flavorful and the same with the cake. I’ve never seen the cake at a wedding disappear so fast, my guests loved it all. The design was better than I even imagined and I’m so grateful for Carol and all the care she put into giving me the most special cake and cupcakes. She is a true artist, in flavor and design! And I work in the culinary industry, my standards are super super high. You won’t regret working with Carol for your wedding.

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 was a pleasure to work with for our wedding. Her communication style was thoughtful, responsive, and imaginative from start to finish. The quality was exceptional from the tasting sampler to the final product - the cake was delicious, the design was beautiful, and she thoughtfully incorporated a mix of our favorite flavors like strawberry banana shortcake and red velvet. She took inspiration from special spots for us in Central Park to create a stunning, personalized cake that was a huge hit with all our guests. Lilli Maren Bakes truly helped make our special day even more memorable.
