    Let me start off by saying that people at our wedding said it was the best wedding cake they had ever tasted. The manager at the restaurant asked where we got the cake because customers were commenting on how beautiful it was, and the restaurant is one of the best in the city. Highly recommended! Chef Benny took the time to answer my many questions and was really helpful throughout. The cake was delicious. Heavenly White with Lemon Curd and Vanilla Buttercream...I still think of it more then I'd like to admit!

    Chef Benny and his team were absolutely fantastic. What initially drew us to City Cakes NY was the cake itself: it tasted incredible when we went for a consultation. We had a very specific request for our cake design and Benny did an amazing job of replicating a very specific Korean flower. When I arrived at our wedding venue, I couldn't believe how beautiful the cake was. The flowers were made of sugar but incredibly realistic. I was totally blown away. I highly recommend City Cakes NY and would definitely use them again for another event!

    There are no words to completely convey how happy and appreciative we are of the service we received from City Cakes. From start to finish Chef Benny and his team really went out of their way to make our night truly magical. The cake made for our wedding was truly amazing. It was not absolutely beautiful but better yet, it was delicious! Our guests were truly impressed and continue to rave about it's taste. We can not emphasize enough...if someone is looking for a bakery in the city, you will never find a more ideal organization to work with than City Cakes.

    Benny at City Cakes NY was wonderful and we were so happy with our wedding cake! First off, it was the best tasting experience we had among many to begin with. They weren't at all pushy but instead very friendly and helpful and super professional. I was confident from the day I showed him what I wanted to the day we signed the contract for our 150 person cake. When the day came it was flawless and the most delicious cake! I did not touch my food all night but I sure did eat my piece of cake. It was wonderful and so beautiful, I got many many compliments on it. I highly recommend City Cakes NY if you are looking for professional service, super friendly people and a stunning elegant and flawless wedding cake. I admit I was a picky bride and did a lot of research and read a lot of reviews before I hired anyone and I was not let down. Benny even accomodated some last minute changes I requested with no hesitation at all. The cake and my entire experience with City Cakes NY was perfect!

    Wow...Benny and crew did an amazing job on our wedding cake. They are perfectionists and it shows. The sugar leaves looked just like they were falling on it...and the flavor! The amaretto and buttercream are to die for. Cakes from City Cakes are not the typical plain wedding cake...they have real flavor! You will be going back for cupcakes in the days before and days after just to have more. They are so creative with their design too. When Benny sent a sketch of what he would do, it was perfect. Seeing it in person on the day of the wedding was so cool...the cake was breath-taking.

    My wife and I got married in July in Central Park. City Cake made our absolutely scrumptious red velvet cupcakes. I've never seen a dessert disappear quicker! The cupcakes were beautiful and absolutely delicious!

    On very short notice, City Cakes and Chef Benny and his team, made a beautiful and delicious cake for our celebration. Chef Benny took his time with us as we explored our options and was extremely helpful in getting us the cake we desired, a pumpkin spice cake with cream cheese filling, with beautifully decorated fondant icing. Perfect, and not a crumb left over.

    After an extensive web search for a cake bakery for our wedding, my husband and I came across the City Cakes website - and I am SO HAPPY we did!

    On our first visit to the bakery, we came in with a rough idea of what we were looking for, and Chef Benny and Chef Marc worked with us to fine-tune the idea, providing suggestions but also taking our ideas and thoughts into account to come up with a final concept. We were so impressed with their creativity and professionalism (as well as the delicious cake we tasted!) we asked them to create our wedding cake.

    When our guests entered the ballroom for our reception, there was a huge crowd (about sixty people) that all swarmed around the cake to take pictures of it like it was a celebrity. Guys - I can't even begin to tell you how awesome this cake was. And not only did the cake look incredible, but it was (and I'm not exaggerating) the most delicious cake I've ever tasted in my life, and our guests shared that sentiment with us (we had an Almond Wonder cake with Hazelnutella buttercream). The quality of what we received cannot be topped. On top of the amazing final product we received, through the entire planning process, City Cakes was responsive, friendly, organized and professional. Trust me, you're in good hands if you work with them.

    I seriously cannot wait for the next big event in our lives so I can call City Cakes again! I can't say enough about how incredibly talented, amazing, and mind-blowingly awesome City Cakes is. If you're looking for an incredible looking (and tasting!) wedding cake, and want your planning process to be pleasant (and fun!), your search should end here.

    Thank you so much for the beautiful wedding cake! And it was absolutely delicious. Our guests loved it - there was no cake left at the end of the reception! Good thing we saved the top tier for ourselves. It was a pleasure working with you to come up with an elegant design that fit our personalities and the wedding theme.

    Our cake just came out great!! With all the details in placed and great size, the cake was just too good to just eat away. Many pictures were taken before our memory of it went away after eating it. Delicious!!!

    Thank you for the beautiful wedding cake you created for us. All of our guests were very impressed with the beautiful design and also commented at how delicious the cake was. It was a pleasure to work with both of you. You were able to take our simple idea and turn it into stunning centerpiece that will last in our hearts forever.

    Diverse Desserts has become my biggest guilty pleasure since I had a slice at a sister's wedding; now I order for every occasion there is. The taste and design of their cakes are unbelievably creative you can't help but get a little excited whenever you place an order. My sister loved the cake so much that it took quite a while for her to cut it. Hands-down, it’s the best bakery. Mmmm... I wish I had one right now. Diverse Desserts is an excellent bakery and the workers are all incredibly well-mannered and clean-cut. A+

    Chef Benny was awesome! He was able to deliver an exceptional, delicious and beautifully crafted wedding cake. I was 2weeks away from my wedding when I contacted City Cakes. Chef Benny welcomed us in the bakery with sketches ready for review. He really made the experience unforgettable and sent us home with delicious cupcakes to taste and decide on for our wedding cake. Since that day, I Google him to find out that he has been featured on several programs for his great techniques! We were so happy we choose Chef Benny and City Cakes for our wedding! We will be back for more of City Cakes delicious creations!

    Thanks Chef Benny!

    City Cakes did our cake and our favors (we did their famous 1/2 cookies). Both were extremely delicious. My only complaint was that the color of our cake was not correct (though I suspect it was due to the way the spray color was absorbed into the fondant), it was supposed to be purple but looked green/blue. Despite the color, it was still beautiful and delicious, many people asked for a second slice.

    City Cakes – The Best of the Best!

    We got Married at the Mamaroneck Beach and Yacht Club September 9, 2023 and after an exhaustive (and delicious) search, we decided to have Chef Benny at City Cakes design and make our wedding cake. We were looking for something delicious, elegant, and unique. I could not be happier with the outcome. Chef Benny was incredibly easy to work with, was completely professional and responsive, and he created such a beautiful piece of artwork for our wedding cake. It was a 4-tiered masterpiece that tasted even better than it looked (if that’s even possible), and they even put a little replica of our puppy climbing up from the 3rd tier to the 2nd. Chef Benny made me feel heard, knew exactly what I was looking for, and made my vision a reality. I would recommend City Cakes with zero hesitation. I have already recommended them to friends, and I will work with Chef Benny for any events that I host in the future. Thank you!!!

    I would absolutely recommend City Cakes to any client/ friend of mine! My husband and I had found a picture of a Wedding Cake that we absolutely loved and when we presented that picture to City Cakes they honestly brought that exact cake to our Wedding! We were thrilled on our Wedding day! It was beautiful and our guests loved it. Now that I am a Wedding Planner I will definitely refer all of my clients to City Cakes!! You can see a picture of the amazing work they did on our Wedding Cake by visiting this link...

    I found this vendor via the Time Out New York "best of" issue. The folks at City Cakes did a great job leading up to our event. We were able to work with the Chef to design the cake we wanted and had a delicious tasting. They were responsive and they worked with our florist to add flowers to the top. The experience was perfect.

    The cake itself had no taste and could not have been more dry as evidenced by the fact that no one ate it. It was embarrassing. We didn't even save any for our first year anniversary. Price was $16 per person.
