Paddy Cake Bakery

Omg where do i begin??? I purchased a cake a week ago. it was for my sons communion. I paid $125 for this garbage cake. The icing wasnt what i wanted. The decorations on the cake were completely HIDEOUS!!!!! It looked as if a 2 year old child was given the icing to drawn on it. It was suppose to serve 50 people it was smaller than a quarter sheet cake. I paid an EXTRA $24.00 to have a rosery drawn on the cake along with a host and chalice, U couldnt tell what either one of those items were. The rosery looked like she was falling asleep and was dripping icing all over the cake. The host and chalice were one big sloppy blob of icing. I told the lady that was taking my order i DID NOT want roses on this cake at all and it has 13 blue and white globs of icing they call roses, the rose pedals are WHITE, on top of a white cake icing. U cant tell where the cake begins and the roses end. The icing they put around the cake to decorate the bottom is falling off and missing. the streamer around the top part of the cake is missing and the lettering....Im sorry but it looked like someone that was hung over with the shakes wrote on this cake. There are gouge marks in the cake where she dug too deep in the icing with the tip of the icing thing. The lettering could of been done better by my 8 YEAR OLD!!!!!!! Was totally disappointing. When the lady helping me took the lid off the box she looked in total disbelief, she was EMBARRASSED for me. She apoligized and gave me the number for the manager whom I will be contacting Tuesday. I could go on for days and days about this ABOMINATION!!!! Totally not what i was willing to pay for. The only reason there is 1 star is because they wont let u mark zero! I will also be posting on facebook twitter and myspace as to how AWFUL this place is!!!! Thank god it wasnt my wedding cake! more

This bakery has always been a very good bakery. Cannot pin point on what has happened. Order a full sheet cake and when I got there to pick it up I was told that is would be about 20 minutes to 1/2 hour longer because they messed up something on the cake and had to redo. They were to put volleyball on the cake and when I took the cake to the party a four year old look at the cake and said that's a soccer ball on the cake. Mother said SHH. There was a comment made to me that the bakery has been struggling lately. I called the bakery a day after to put a complaint in and manager told me she would get back to me. 5 days later I had to call back. She told me that the owner would credit me 24 dollars back. SERIOUSLY where am I ahead? The bakery still is getting there 65 dollars. Thank you so much Mr. Conley. and also the manager of the store. more

Before we even showed up for our disappointing cake tasting, it was nearly impossible to get an appointment. Three times I got put on hold over the phone, then forgotten about. They're not open on Sundays or evenings, making it impossible for a working couple to make an appointment, plus their ""wedding coordinator"" isn't available every day. When we arrived, we had 2 little pieces of white cake given to us: one plain white, one white with a raspberry filling. That's it. That was our cake tasting. $235 for a 3-tier white wedding cake? Paddy Cake can't even do any type of decorations that aren't frosting-based ? no sugared or gelled flowers (they'd have to order those), no edible golds or glitters, nothing. They won't even put fresh flowers on it themselves ? they ""let the florist do that."" I was amazed that the ""wedding coordinator"" was completely unprepared. We asked her, what if we wanted a spice cake instead? Or a carrot cake? Or a chocolate cake? Could we taste any samples of those? No, because she hadn't made any of those for us to try. The coordinator was disinterested in helping us think outside of the box. She seemed frazzled and ""bothered"" that we were even there. When I suggested we might like a pumpkin pie in addition to our cake, she looked at me like I'd grown a third eye. The kicker was, I had a gift certificate for a free 2-tier cake. The ""wedding coordinator"" actually said at some point in the conversation that my fiancee and I were ""obviously going to go with Paddy Cake Bakery since we had a gift certificate,"" but to come back in August so she could make a spice cake for us to try. What?! If you want a plain white wedding cake that tastes no better or no worse than any other white cake, why waste $235 ? $350 here? You're better off going to Market District. This place is a joke. more

It may taste good, but is it what you ordered? more

The donuts are out of this world. Fresh, filling and oh sooo good with a great selection.. They also have great canoli!! more

The best chocolate chip cookies...period! Pros: Chocolate chip cookies and everything else. Cons: Can't get them anywhere else. more

I came in today and bought seven brownies. They was so **** good til I ate three and got sick. I haven't tasted brownies this excellent in a longtime. I will be back for more and believe me, I will eat them all. Pros: BEST BROWNIES IN THE COUNTRY Cons: THEY ARE SO GOOD, I EAT TO MANY AND GET SICK more

Love this bakery....have order cakes for many parties from them and they have always been great! Pros: Too good!! Cons: calories more

We have ordered all of our party treats from Paddy Cake for many years now and love it. The cakes are out of this world great and the petit fours are absolutely to die for. My daughter adores the white petit fours and could not have a party without them. Thank you for being so awesome! Pros: Cakes cannot be beat Cons: Parking more

As someone born within a mile of this bakery, I regret having to write this review. For years since the other classic Bloomfield bakeries gradually disappeared, it was heartrning to continue to see Paddy Cake on Liberty Avenue. We began going there for holiday needs, as well as all birthdays and other family events. more

old dry cake Cons: old cake more

Growing up in Bloomfield, Paddy Cake Bakery was always one of my favorite places to stop. Even after moving to the North Hills, I still continued to venture to Paddy Cake for their wide selection of delectable desserts. Everything in the store is always FRESH and their customer service is outstanding!! When it finally came time to order my wedding cake, it was the only bakery I would consider. They promptly set up an appointment with me where I sampled all kinds of yummy fillings. The manger was was such a pleasure to work with; she took time to go through all of the details and helped to incorporate my own ideas. When the cake arrived on my wedding day it was even more beautiful than I had imagined. All of my guests raved about how moist and tasty the cake was!!! Pros: Great prices and always fresh! more

I always make it a point to stop here whenever I have a sweet tooth. I can't get enough of the cupcakes!!! Pros: It is great for orders at the last minute as long as you give them about a two day notice. Cons: The parking is not that great. more

My wedding cake was absolutely delicious, just what I ordered on the INSIDE (choclate with rasberry creme filling, butter creme icing). They even delivered on their day off (but had to pay extra - it was a sunday afternoon wedding). Only one small glitch, - when reviewing our wedding pictures during our 10 year wedding anniversary, I noticed that the cake design I ordered was NOT what I received. Didn't notice on wedding day because the caterers cut it quickly after delivery as it was to be served up as dessert (we took our cake cutting pictures quickly!). So be sure to double check the design! Pros: delicious baked goods, cakes, icings, breads etc Cons: need to be very alert with wedding order details to get what you order more

Ordered our wedding cake from them and soon came to regret it. You have to wait forever (10-20 minutes!) on hold every time you phone in and then when someone does get on the line to take your call they are rude. The cake itself was sickly sweet--yuck. After having paid my non-refundable deposit, I asked them if they could use less sugar in the icing and was told ""no"" (absolutely no attempt to make me what I wanted). more

Paddy Cake is like the bakery's of yesteryear. Fresh, tasty donuts, cakes, cookies, brownies, etc. Pros: deliscious baked goods!! Cons: cant think of any more

be careful with these people, my wedding cake for 120 didn't feed 90. they put a support on TOP of each tier (under the icing) instead of under. THerefore, you can't cut through and when the cake is cut to be served the icing is all pulled off of the top and my cake fell apart. The bakery refused to give any sort of refund. I should have had 30 pieces left over instead, I didn't even get a piece. And, they didn't leave a box for the top layer. more
