    I have had 2 cakes made and designed by Josanna. A 60th Disney birthday cake and a Wildflower Baby Shower cake. Josanna did exactly what I asked for. Both were delicious and beautiful. I posted both to the Desserts By Design website. I highly recommend this bakery. I won't go anywhere else!

    Jo is amazing. She always cones through whether it's the amazing Chanukah sufganyot or a multilayer unbelievably rich chocolate layer cake or just cream puffs. She even made a mini croquembouche for our anniversary!

    It was an amazing cake, I was in need for one for work for my boss's birthday last minute. I always pass by and have met the kind, friendly owner before and thought hopefully she would have something ready and perfect for the occasion. It was ready in less than five minutes and I was prepared for the surprise celebration at work! Everyone couldn't stop talking about how delicious it was too! Thank you!!

    Our bridal shower cake was from here and it was a huge hit! They did such an amazing job! We then went ahead and ordered from here for my cousin's bridal shower as well and it was awesome! They really pay attention to detail and are such kind folks

    Desserts by Design did our wedding cake. They were the recommended vendor from our venue so we figured we'd try them. I am so incredibly happy with their work! Not only did they make the most delicious wedding cake ever (complete with two layers of cannoli cake and one layer of red velvet cake), but the cake was gorgeous! My favorite part of the cake, and the thing everyone commented on, was the two little paw prints that they added for our dogs. The cake was beautiful and tasted amazing. You also can't beat their price point. I would highly recommend!

    In connection with a social gathering at our home, we recently had a butter cookie taste test and Desserts by Design earned third place honors. The competition included butter cookies from Feasterville Family Bakery, Leonardo's, Rilling's, Swiss Haus Bakery. Chosen as for the test was the flower-shaped butter cookie with the chocolate center, which all of the bakeries offer. First place honors went to Rillings for its cookie's relatively soft crumb and clear butter flavor. Our quibble was that the center dollop of chocolate was a bit sweet and hard, but overall it was a good cookie. The other first place winner was Feasterville, whose cookie is very delicate and nearly disintegrates on the tongue (like any great shortbread). One has to carefully transport Feasterville's cookies because they easily crumble in transit. Again, the chocolate center was a bit sweet and hard. Both Rilling's and Feasterville could elevate these cookies to epic status by replacing the chocolate frosting with a bittersweet ganache. Second place went to Swiss Haus Bakery, whose butter cookies are a perennial household favorite. The Swiss Haus version is much firmer than either than Rilling's or Feasterville's and it is less sweet. To its credit, the Swiss Haus cookie's chocolate center is neither as sweet nor as hard as the first place bakeries' versions. Swiss Haus's cookies are sufficiently hearty to transport with little breakage. Desserts by Design had a credible entry, which earned them third place. The cookie had a delicate crumb but lacked any butter flavor. Where these cookies failed was an unattractive milk-chocolate-looking center that was not a consistent color throughout and was irregularly shaped. It also was far too sweet and hard. Much to our chagrin, Leonardo's version ended up in fourth place. While Leonardo's makes exquisite rustic breads and phenomenal cannoli, its butter cookies are just too hard and lack any butter flavor.

    My Husband and I were recommended to get our wedding cake here from our venue, Bensalem Township Country Club. I am so thrilled that we did! We contacted them to schedule a tasting which they were more than happy to schedule during a time that worked for me. They were super pleasant and had so much available for us to taste! We ended up going with the raspberry pound cake (OMG SO GOOD) and a chocolate layer as well since I'm a chocoholic. I had an idea of how I wanted the icing and they knew exactly what I was talking about. My cake looked like it could have been featured in a magazine!

    Thank you so much for our beautiful wedding cake on Saturday, October 1, 2016. It was absolutely delicious and you created our cake as asked with a flavor that had our guests wanting more! I would definitely recommend again!

Our original date had to be postponed due to inclement weather. The owner had no problem changing the order to a later date. I give the bakery two stars for its service. Unfortunately, we were not impressed with the cake itself. Yes, the cake was decorated as a great Buttercream Minion. My son was excited when he saw it for the first time. However, under the Buttercream, the top, outside layer of the cake was burned. The buttercream did a fine job of hiding that. My sons ate only the buttercream because they didn't like the burnt cake. Also, the cake board was not grease proof. It looked like an ordinary, rectangle cardboard. When it was time to sing "Happy Birthday," the so-called cake board was covered in grease. Very poor presentation of a cake.

My review is based on two issues, size recommended, and lack of cannoli flavor (with the exception of some cute mini cannoli decorations). The employee I spoke with on the phone was very nice. We discussed that I'd have a few other dessert offerings but that I wanted enough for everyone. They strongly recommended a half sheet cake , saying it feeds 35. The cake was gorgeous, but it was literally tremendous (very big and high) and twice the amount needed. It would have been enough for 45 people . I cut huge slabs of cake and still had half of it leftover. I froze some and gave a lot away , but for $210 , I could definitely have ordered a smaller cake and saved a lot of money. The second issue was the cake itself. It was very fresh, and tasted good (I admit , once I got over my disappointment). The cake was chocolate chip with a yummy buttercream chocolate frosting. However, I wouldn't have chosen to spend this much on a cake if it wasn't for the cannoli cream, my favorite. Besides the decorations , no one could tell it was a cannoli cream cake. Everyone said that it was beautiful, but we were all disappointed because we expected something different. When I emailed the owner regarding these two issues , his only response was to say that the cake was very fresh. He was otherwise defensive and didn't offer anything to compensate me. I'd recommend this bakery if you're looking for a fancy custom cake, (but not necessarily the cannoli cake) , but the Sam's Club chocolate mousse cake for $19 got higher reviews from my guests (it was truly exceptional). Addendum; since the cake was fresh and tasted nice I wouldn't not have written this review had the owner compensated me for my for selling a much larger cake than needed, and the lack of substantial cannoli flavor. He was just way to defensive .

I immediately noticed the cheesecakes in the case and I told her I saw them through friend's reposts. She was so kind and said the flavors get updated every so often. I got the banana pudding cheesecake and the Biscoff cheesecake. Of the two, I preferred the banana. It was moist and creamy with that pudding-like consistency. I don't want to downplay the Biscoff slice - it was great, but a little on the dry side. I enjoyed the cookie pieces, though and it wasn't overly sweet. Two very unique flavors that I had not tried anywhere else. Pricing was reasonable for the area. I would absolutely swing by again and try different items!

I will start of by saying that the staff here is great and the store is always easy to navigate. It is a bit older of a store so it's a little dark inside but it is also always busy which makes it feel much more lively. they have extensive produce, a large cheese section and prepared food section. Their bakery is nice as well. Actually their cookies are some of my favorite grocery store cookies. The prices can be a bit high but when they have sales they are usually fairly good. I feel like it's a slightly "fresher" and "healthier" store but I have had a hard time finding more unique healthy items.

I watched her interactions with the two guests ahead of me and was honestly surprised by how unhappy and disengaged she appeared. There were no smiles, no warmth, and her overall demeanor gave the impression that she disliked her job, disliked dealing with customers, and simply did not want to be there. As a business owner myself, I understand how important customer relationships are. The checkout counter is often the final impression a guest leaves with, and something as simple as a friendly smile or kind interaction goes a very long way when customers are spending their hard-earned money. I am from out of town and expected much more from what appears to be a boutique-style grocery store with a strong community feel. Stores like Trader Joe's are a great example of how positive, friendly interactions at checkout can completely elevate the customer experience. I even went so far as to ask Delaney if she was having a bad day, and the glaring stare I received in return ultimately prompted me to write this review. To be clear, I am not looking for anyone to lose their job. I simply believe some coaching in guest relations and customer interaction could make a tremendous difference. Delaney is very young, and I genuinely hope she either finds more joy in what she's doing or moves into something better suited for her personality and interests. Constructive feedback is meant to help businesses improve, and I hope this is received in that spirit.
