Dulce Cakes & Deserts catered my 2024 Halloween Party. The selection of treats was great. Everyone was enjoying including my daughter. We shared just some of the many sweet varieties of food. I'd definitely recommend Dulce if you're having a party during the holidays. The colors were perfect for the Fall and Halloween celebration. read more

THANK YOU SO MUCHHHH Dulce for making my birthday extra special!!!!!! They did an amazing job of customizing my order to exactly what I wanted. Everyone enjoyed the cupcakes the best. They were moist and airy. I did the dessert platter. The pricing of everything was around $200 for custom order of the dessert platter, cupcake stand, cake topper, and delivery. I paid .50 extra per rice krispy treat that had "26" on it. Because I was coming from out of town they ordered the cup cake stand for me from Amazon and the cake toppers. They deliver for $50. They take Zelle, Cash App, Venmo, all of the above! Highly recommend, they go above and beyond to accommodate their customers!! Thank you again *The only provide what you order the display and set was done by me* read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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!! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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 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! read more

As many people have said, Markela is an absolute GEM to work with. She's professional and so sweet. She kept in constant contact with me, and she made me feel at ease. The cake was for a joint Bridal/Baby shower for two coworkers of mine, and it was great that the cake was the one thing I didn't have worry about. So the cake was beautiful, Markela was amazing, but you know what really knocked all of our socks off? THE TASTE. I am not a vanilla cake fan. Give me chocolate any day. But oh my goodness gracious. This vanilla cake was THE MOST flavorful vanilla cake I have ever had, and it was fresh and fluffy and light. The buttercream was a traditional sweet buttercream, so exactly what you'd expect from a custom cake. The best part is that as I'm writing this review, a day later, I'm enjoying a leftover slice of cake that is still moist and fluffy and perfect. Thank you SO MUCH! read more

This cake baked by Markela ordered for the corporate event was out of this world. She is so easy to work with and my is she talented at creating whatever you want.

Designed a monkey birthday cake and it was fabulous. She goes into phenomenal detail on bringing your cake inspiration to life and even sent color swatch photos for the shades of green leaves I was thinking of and what the monkeys should look like. The cake was also delivered to our door which was icing on top ; ). The cake was obviously the centerpiece of the birthday festivities and I will certainly be recommending her for anyone needing a birthday cake. read more

Guys, I haven't written a review in a long time. BUT, this lady was an expensive mistake. Cake is my favorite thing, and I get to eat it one time a year (on. My. Birthday). My husband and I were in NYC for my birthday, so he ordered a cake from this place. She seemed disorganized but got good reviews, so we went with her. We ordered a buttercream icing cake....which is very clear on the invoice we got. The cake was delivered and was covered in fondant. I don't eat fondant, ew, not sure who really does. So I had my husband email her and she was defensive and said that's what the picture of the cake looked like it had. Sorry, but this picture looks exactly like our wedding cake and our wedding cake had buttercream frosting. The invoice said buttercream and nothing about fondant. Her emails just kept talking about the picture and she eventually just stopped responding and never tried to make it right. Oh, she did suggest just taking off the fondant and eat the inside of the cake, because yes, I did just pay $150 to pick apart something to find something that may or may not taste good. That sounds like some kind of diet cake, and I didn't order a diet cake. I'm sorry, but as a small business owner, you fix unhappy customers.... especially when you do special occasions. read more

Updated review - I just want to reiterate how amazing Markela is. Because of her excellent work last time, I decided to go back and order another cake for a friend's birthday. The cake turns out amazing - and not just that, Markela even delivered the cake to me in person in the snow storm!! She also kindly offered to reschedule last minute if I needed to because of the snow storm. Honestly she's the best. She makes beautiful cakes, and she cares about the needs of her customers. She would discuss the details of the cake and do her best to make the cake you desire. Highly recommended!!! And will keep coming back for sure. The cake is simply amazing! I ordered a birthday cake for my sister, and Markela has been so patient with answering my requests. Yes you can tell that she's very busy - but she always tries her best to make time for you. The price of the cake is also super reasonable, and I think the result she's able to pull off is definitely worth the price. I have talked to many birthday cake places in the past month and she's definitely one of the most friendly and approachable ones with affordable quotes. It's pouring all day today in nyc, and she still insists on delivering the cake to my door. Thank you so much Markela! Everyone loves the cake, especially my sister :) I highly recommend Dulce Cakery for birthday cakes read more

*CLARIFICATION* This is not a review, but a clarification that should be on this page: this is NOT a bakery, it is apparently some kind of custom cake catering. I work right down the block, so my co-worker and I tried to find Dulce to buy a cake for another co-worker's birthday. There is no actual physical location to visit - we went to 445 Park, looked all around, and finally asked the doorman. He had never heard of Dulce (other than some other confused people asking him where it was), and when he called the phone number on the website he said it was disconnected (866-962-5551). Luckily, there's is a Magnolia Bakery nearby inside Bloomingdale's, but this whole experience was very strange. read more

I lucked out on this custom bakery. I am from out of state, but recently threw my sister a baby shower in the city. Markela communicated with me every step of the process to make a few dozen custom cupcakes that were exactly what my sister and I wanted. While I was slightly nervous that I wouldn't be able to see them or even taste them before the shower, the cupcakes exceeded my expectations. Multiple people during the shower let me know that they were better than Magnolias. The design was adorable, the taste was wonderful, and the cost was very reasonable. Any time I plan another event in the city, I will be using her. read more
