    Football cake
    Nik R.

    Update: used Dulce again for hubby's bday and given the football craze it was only fitting to do a theme cake. The cake was def a big hit, attention to detail was there, we enjoyed the cake flavors (German Chocolate w cannoli filling). As you can see I'm a repeat offender/purchaser..lol.. This is officially my bake shop for cake orders. Didn't have to worry about delivery, because Markela (owner) took it to the restaurant before the event. No stress service.

    Where to begin about how great our experience was with Markela and Dulce Cakes. Planning a wedding during Covid provided enough curve balls and challenges to make anyone crazy, but Markela not only rose to each challenge, but surpassed our expectations. She delivered a product that looked amazing and tasted even better - our guests universally commented how the cake was the best tasting wedding cake they've ever eaten. As we were designing the cake, Markela suggested we include the same flowers used throughout the venue. She even offered to arrange to pick up the flowers herself the day before our wedding. We provided the contact for our florist and they communicated directly to make it a reality. On the curve balls front, we learned long after setting the date of our wedding that the NYC bike tour was going to be the same day, with street closures cutting our venue off from the rest of the city. Markela assured us this was no challenge and she'd just make sure the cake arrived prior to the roads being closed. She coordinated directly with our venue to ensure everything would be perfect without us having to lift a finger. Then the week prior to the wedding a tropical storm began forming, which turned into Hurricane Henri. The night before our wedding and wedding day were at the time the rainiest 24 hours in the history of NYC. Even this didn't phase Markela and the cake was perfect! Bottom line, if you're looking for someone to make the best tasting, best looking cake you've ever experienced, all while making it so you never have to lift a finger in the process (except to taste the samples, yum), look no further than Markela and Dulce Cakes!! We can't wait to plan our next event (hopefully, post-covid), so we can work with Markela again.

    Diaper cake made as a surprise by the owner.

    Wow. Dulce really delivered for our daughter's Toy Story-inspired baby shower. Everyone loved the cake, desserts and favors! The Dulce de Leche cake was next level goodness. And the owner even threw in a complimentary diaper cake as a gift that really stood out.

    I spent a couple weeks trying to get the details just right for our friend's retirement party. She was beyond patient -- so courteous and responsive. The end result couldn't have been more perfect.

    Pink crayon cake by Dulce Desserts and the Red Velvet cake by Veniero's Bakery!
    Min J.

    I'll start off by saying the owner is very enthusiastic and excited to help. My experience with her prior to receiving my daughters first birthday cake was amazing she was very hands on, helpful and always communicating with me to make sure we had the perfect cake. Now here was our understanding of the order for my daughters first birthday which was crayon theme. A crayon shaped cake with pink fondant. The cake was a confetti cake. ( which means sprinkles in the actual cake batter ) and dulce de leche filling. When the cake arrived: The fondant had a lot of bumps and crack in it. That were very visible because it was on the top portion of the cake. (However it did look like a crayon and it was cute if you looked past the imperfections) When we cut into the cake, it was just regular vanilla cake and there was sprinkles in the dulce de leche filling which isn't what I asked for. Nonetheless, despite those cons which were kind of a lot for a $300. Cake. The cake did taste good. The sprinkles in the filling bothered me looked stupid. And wasn't what I had agreed on. However everyone loved the cake because it looked like a crayon lol and the dulce de leche was tasty. Just wish the execution was a little better for the price. Moving forward I think I'm staying away from fondant for ever. It's hard, and not tasty at all. But besides that she was okay. She delivered a somewhat version of what I wanted. And at least the cake tasted good. Thank god I bought my daughter two cakes lol thanks to Veniero's bakery for the back up. Only thing is Veniero's doesn't do custom cakes but they are delicious like absolutely freaking delicious. (But that's a review for their page lol) Here's a picture of the infamous pink crayon cake.

    I had a 50th birthday party for my fiancé last night and worked with Markela to create the birthday cake. I spoke to her and told her a little about him and his sports obsession. She promptly sent me a picture of a football field cake she had done for a Super Bowl party and we customized it for his team and birthday wishes. She then sent me a mock up prior to the party to approve the design. She kept in touch via text and email and informed me when the cake was delivered. I got to view the cake prior to the party and it was perfect! The cake was a big hit with my fiancé and all of the guests. When we cut into the creation and tasted it, the cake was as delicious as it was beautiful. Markela even customized it to make half the cake chocolate and the other vanilla. If you are looking for a quality cake look no further than Dulce Cakes & Desserts! Thank you Markela!

    40th Birthday Cake
    Susan P.

    The absolute most beautiful and delicious cake I've ever custom ordered! I posted pictures on social media and was told by so many people they had to look twice to even realize it was a cake and not an actual shoe & box. The cannoli filling was smooth and the cake itself was just fresh and delish! Markela is beyond creative with her ideas and always the consummate professional. I will absolutely look no further the next time I'm looking to satisfy my sweet tooth!!

    Dulce Cakes is the perfect name for this company because they make your celebration SWEET! I contacted Markela, the owner, a few weeks ago to design a custom 3D sneaker cake for my husband's birthday and the whole experience from start to finish with her was simply amazing. She responded to emails promptly, set up a phone consultation to talk through the design, and even sent me a computer generated graphic of how I should expect the cake to look! Best of all, her price was very reasonable and she even personally delivered the cake right to the venue to ensure it would arrive without any damage! The morning of the party, Markela sent me over photographs of the cake via text (which I thought was so considerate of her to send in advance) and I was BLOWN AWAY!!!! The detailing on the Jordan 11 was so nuanced and accurate that I literally thought it looked like a real sneaker! When the cake was presented to my husband, his mouth dropped open in shock and we had to spend 15 minutes convincing him to cut the cake because he didn't want to ruin the beautiful work. When he finally did, I was also impressed by how delicious the cake tasted showing that Markela is the perfect combination of artist and master baker! I cannot thank Markela enough for making this a true highlight for my husband and for helping me make him smile on his special day. I will absolutely order all my cakes from Dulce Cakes moving forward!

    My daughter's 18th birthday cake made by Markela!! Tasted just as good as it looked!!
    Butterfly S.

    Markela lovingly out did herself with my daughter's 18th birthday cake! The chocolate cake tasted heavenly and the design, ombre Roses, simply gorgeous!! My whole family loved it, especially my daughter. Thank you Markela for making my daughter's 18th birthday stand out!

    Amazing birthday cake for my husband's surprise 30th!
    Amanda B.

    I found Dulce Cakes and Desserts online while I was in a time and money crunch planning my husband's surprise 30th birthday party. Once I found Dulce Cakes and Desserts I knew I could stop looking. Markela was excellent to work with as she really worked with me to make the perfect birthday cake. She was very creative and had ideas that surpassed my imagination for the cake. As I was not able to get to a consultation in person we did everything over the phone and I did not see the cake until the day of the party - which could be nerve racking but she made it very easy to trust her and not worry about a thing. The cake turned out better then I could have imagined. Not only was it beautiful and exactly what I wanted but it tasted marvelous too! Looking for a specialty cake in NYC? Look no further - just call Markela and start your order.

    This was our cake !
    Kiara C.

My family and I were in awe of her creation ! I will be in contact with her for the baby shower cake ! Absolutely stunning. Give her a call and trust your gut!

    One Piece Straw Hat Cake!!
    Pamela T.

    Markela is literally a God sent cake making angel. She made a custom cake for my boyfriends 26th birthday based on an anime and we all loved it. It was exactly as I wanted and described to her and my boyfriend loved it too. Plus it was tasty! The most impressive thing about Markela is her service. She truly wants to make her customers happy and goes above and beyond. She makes herself available via email and text, making the entire process effortless and professional. So accommodating and helpful--even if you aren't the most organized customer (which I'm not) Markela will help you get your life together and make your celebration perfect! Markela- when you read this- know that I've appreciated everything you've done! You're a wonderful cake artist and I will always come back to you for my custom cakes!!

    Top was vanilla with cookies and cream filling. Bottom, red velvet with vanilla buttercream. Amazing!!!!!
    NA5404 C.

    Markela is good at what she does. I stumbled upon her on Yelp while looking for someone to bake my sons Power Ranger Cake. Skeptical at first because I never tried her cake nor did I know who she was. I went with my gut feeling and messaged her she was always so prompt at replying back and always answering my questions. I told her I was nervous, she then even offered to help me find another bakery because she wants me to feel comfortable (who does that?!) I insisted that I'll be ok and i wanted to proceed with her making the cake. The day of delivery she came at the exact time she said she would. The cake was super cool and most importantly my son loved it!! Now on to the taste....AMAZINGGGGG It was moist and very flavorful. I had a 2 tier (top was vanilla with cookies and cream filling, bottoms was red velvet with vanilla buttercream). This was the first red velvet cake I ever had that actually tastes like chocolate!!! The cake was hit with everyone! Her pricing is very affordable and reasonable. Markela was amazing and I will forever be a customer!

    Wow, this little shop is unassuming, it definitely catches the eye, especially for someone like me…read morewho loves Asian pastries. I've never tried a Japanese cheesecake before and was extremely excited to be able to pick up some treats for my coworkers as well as my partner's birthday cake from Keki. Ordering is fairly straightforward and done with a simple machine outfront. Once your order is ready one of the staff members hands it to you through a window; there is no inside area accessible to customers but our food came quickly and we took it back to the office. The cheesecake was fantastic. I read a bit about the background of the shop online and how the owner really cares about using high-quality ingredients, specifically dairy. It was justas described, light and bouncy. I enjoyed how it was not overly sweet and found that it was all too easy to devour the entire cake over the course of two days. Despite it not having much weight to it, it traveled surprisingly well as I took it home on my three train commute! Similar to what others have said, the real highlight of the shop, in my opinion, are their cream puffs. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the outer layer was thin yet had a nice little crunch to it. We tried the classic milk, cookies & cream pistachio and ube flavors. Our favorite was the pistachio by far, which had such a unique yet decadent flavor and our second favorite was the milk cream puff. There's not much else I can say other than you really have to go here and try the desserts yourself. If you're a fan of Japanese desserts that are rich yet not too sweet, you'll be a fan of Keki.

I…read moreliked these ok because it was creamy and light, not too sweet either, but it may be the crust part that I wasn't as much of a fan of. There are lots of other tart places that do something sinilar and didn't really think these were that memorable. But read this keeping in mind I didn't try to cake items so that product may be better if all you're looking for is a light fluffy dessert that's not too sweet. Try something else here! Just did take out option here so not much to ambiance or service from my experience to speak on.

And I commonly see the upstairs for private events like baby showers, bridal showers, or birthday parties on social media. After dinner with my friends, I was looking for dessert and I was glad to see this location closes relatively late on a weekday night at 11 pm. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waiter who led us to one of the purple velvet chair booths that was perfect for two people and another waiter brought us a pitcher of water almost immediately. The menu is on a QR code already on the table and we were given ample of time to decide. My friend and I both already knew what we wanted to order. I got the purple Yam Souffle which takes 25 minutes to make and my friend got the fried squid tails. We also got a signature Rose Green Milk Tea to share. The waitress who took our order has great memory and recalled all of our items without writing it down. She also reminded me that I could adjust the ice and sugar levels of my drink which I had completely forgotten and would have got annoyed if my drink came out 100% sweetness. Another thing is that my drink order frequently comes out wrong at other locations so I was glad she got it right! Green tea instead of black tea and with milk instead of without milk. The purple Yam Souffle is just like the other locations. Hot, soft cakey texture balanced with an ice cold red bean Ice-Cream. So delicious! The squid tails on the other hand was not what we expected. It came out burnt and hard. The outer batter was not crispy either. We informed one of the waiters and he brought it back to inform the kitchen staff. We received a new batch that was not as burnt and had more flavoring this time around. However, the squid was still hard and not like the ones we get from other locations with smaller crispier pieces. Overall, it was still a good experience and I love the decorations at this location! This might be my second favorite location after the Flushing one. Would love to come back for brunch or hi-tea. Or regular food options when I have not already eaten dinner. My usual go-tos are the twister fries, Santa Fe chicken rolls, fried salted crispy chicken, and the trio dessert combo. However, this location has a lot more variety! FYI - there are two unisex restrooms in the rear for customers to use with really cute wallpapers too.
