    1914 is the best bakery! They made us the most perfect wedding cake. From the first inquiry to our tasting appointment, everything was perfect. Their cakes & desserts are some of the best I've ever had. Michael and the whole family are so sweet and helpful! Thank you again 1914 for making our beautiful wedding cake!

    Strawberries, cannolis and cream puffs!

    1914 Bakery goes above and beyond from the staff to the amazing cakes and desserts we were blown away. The bakery was part of our son's wedding venue and from the first meeting the staff took their time to introduce all their flavors and answer any questions and requests. We added some last minute dessert trays and the staff was so accommodating and helpful. My only regret is I didn't order more! Our guests couldn't stop talking about the taste of the cake and desserts. I highly recommend this bakery for your next event.

    Quick communication and they tasted AMAZING! A little on the pricey side, but again, they are so good. We had so many guests tell us how much they loved them.

    We couldn't have picked a better bakery for our wedding!!!! We had a Covid wedding that was pushed a year so we had a lot of time to sort through bakeries trying pasteries, cake, etc. and came across this gem looking for Italian desserts. We got both our cake and dessert table from 1914 bakery and they did not disappoint. The table included chocolate strawberries, various cheesecake, cake pops, tarts, etc --The cannolis are FANTASTIC!! My husband doesn't like lemon and loved every lemon pastry we tried. My biggest Issue with most bakeries is they are too sweet, but 1914 hit every flavor perfectly. We were also able to rent stands from them which really helped with the display set up. They were the most straightforward and easy to deal with vendor of any for our wedding and set everything up smoothly. We got so many compliments on both the set up of the tables and the quality of desserts. We've also started getting birthday cakes from them too, the cannoli cake is top notch!! Also got a chocolate cake since we didn't get to have some at our wedding and that was also excellent. Consistently going above and beyond expectation; I will certainly continue to recommend!!!

    Loved our cake! Absolutely beautiful and delicious. Cannot recommend them enough! We worked with Laura, she was absolutely amazing!!!! I changed my design a couple of times and she was so patient and kind. You guys are wonderful !

    All our desserts were amazing. From the day we had our tastings until our wedding day the team at Gruttadauria's were fabulous to work with. Our cake was delicious and they completely worked with us on design as we had specific ideas on our layout. Everything was delicious and completely gone by the end of our wedding night.

    Cannoli was fabulous.

    HOLY CANNOLI (Tried Them for Easter) Holy Cannoli happens when you've perfected your Sicilian secret recipe for over 100 years. Gruttadauria's 1914 Bakery (1914bakery.com) is located below Temecula, California's sun-drenched foothills. The photo features three delectable, bite-sized treats (the other 17 included eclairs): · Pastry: Golden, flaky, crisp pastry that easily crunches while blending well with the filling. · Filling: Fresh, cold, sweetened, light ricotta cheese bursting with subtle hints of spice that's very nice. I also tried their Cannoli with ends dipped in dark chocolate (also epic!) The chocolate was smooth and blended effortlessly with the pastry and filling. WHERE TO FIND THEM You won't find Gruttadauria on Temecula's main street or tucked into the endless wine country surrounding Temecula. Nope. This little bakery is hidden from view. Here's the catch: They don't ship orders or allow storefront visits (they meet you at the car if you are picking up your order). HOW TO GET THEM The next time you are in Temecula, give Gruttadauria a call. Gruttadauria is strictly a phone order, pick up, or cake consult appointment. Phone a day or two earlier if you want something, then pick it up. I called one Saturday morning at the opening, and 1000 pastries were on they're way out the door. ON THE CANNOLI SCALE... For me, Gruttadauria's Cannoli is a perfect ten. When you think about a Cannoli, Gruttadauria sets the bar high.

    We used them for our wedding cake and dessert bar and cannot thank them enough for how great everything was. The cake was perfect and exactly how we imagined and the desserts were all delicious. Customer service was awesome too! Linda was great to work with and helped with any and all questions. Thank you again for the wonderful, and delicious sweets!

    1914 catered dessert for our wedding in Temecula, July 2023. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! From the beginning, Linda and team were responsive and super helpful. Linda walked us through all of their amazing options during our tasting appointment, and guided us in choosing our pastries. I called/emailed them multiple times before the wedding to ask questions and make adjustments... each time, the team at 1914 was professional and gave us what we needed. Day-of delivery was seamless; the desserts were on the tables and in our guests' mouths before we knew it! In addition, when there was a miscommunication and we weren't able to freeze our wedding cake, 1914 worked with our venue to get us a replacement cake within hours. Overall, 10/10 recommend.

    We tried 9 different popular cake combos suggested, every single one was light and delicious. It was so hard to choose!!
    Amanda Z.

    Had our wedding cake tasting appointment this morning and Linda was so helpful and lovely. We had a lot of cakes to taste and gelato and sorbet and pastries! Everything we tried was fantastic, it was so hard to choose just 3 cake flavors!! Truly appreciated all of Linda's help, experience and knowledge of the wedding industry. She made our hour long appointment so easy and fun and packaged all of our treats that we couldn't finish so that we could bring home with us. Really looking forward to our wedding so we can eat the delicious treats and can see their cute wooden pastry displays that we are renting for our event in action!! Thanks so much to y'all over there working hard to get us great desserts!!

    I cannot recommend 1914 bakery enough! We used them for my daughter's wedding in October and were beyond satisfied. Linda was extremely helpful during the cake tasting appointment. She helped us figure out how many additional pastries to order without being pushy or trying to sell us more than we needed. Do yourself a favor and add the gelato cart! It was a big hit with our guests. Not only were the cake, pastries and gelato delicious but 1914 went extra mile to ensure a smooth delivery after the wedding venue was changed at the last minute. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

    We came here for a tasting to select a bakery for our wedding. Gruttadaurias exchanged one email with us before failing to confirm the tasting. We finally called to confirm. Based on the positive reviews we had decided to move forward with the tasting even though it was the only one we had to pay for. $5 a slice. We picked 2. Come time to pickup, we waited a while. When the cake came out, it was two of the smallest slivers of cake ever. We opened it up hopeful that it would be great. 2 of the driest slices of cake EVER! The chocolate slice was dry and chalky and tasted like a box of cocoa powder with some crumbles. The Italian cream was just as dry. But by far the worst part was the frosting. It was exactly like eating from a tub of Crisco. It was very greasy and has a slick fat like texture. Yuck! Worst cake ever.

    This place used to be called Jodee's Bakery but they changed their name a while ago. It's really tiny inside, just 2 or 3 tables for cake tastings. Ordered our vow renewal cake from them in 2017 and it was divine! I also ordered a strawberry groom's cake to be extra, lol. I'm not a fan of strawberries but the mister is. The cake was moist and the flavor combo was delish! I can't remember exactly what I ordered, but it was chocolate cake with the best ganache filling between the layers. I normally don't like buttercream on cakes, either, but theirs is perfectly done. Not too sweet and very light and fluffy. I didn't feel as guilty eating it as I would have with a regular buttercream frosting. When I went for the cake appt, the owner was really nice. She sat me down and had a few different combos for me to try. There was a little hair in one of them, which was off putting. However, the cakes were all moist and tasty. I don't like dry crumbly cakes---who does?! Last time I went in was about 3 weeks ago. I ordered the same thing for my aunt's birthday. They keep your order on file and you can re-order it every year to get a fresh one on your anniversary. I like that they do that because most bakeries make you a cake to freeze for a year. Ummmm... no thanks! Service was a bit slow because the owner was with a couple doing their cake tasting. Her son was assisting another customer in front of me. I wasn't greeted when I walked in and stood there for about 10 min before her son could help me. Overall, I would return because they make other yummy things like cannolis which I have yet to try! Parking is plentiful in this industrial area.

    I would like a Tres leches cake for about 30 people. How much would that cost?

    Do you have ready made birthday cakes?

    Currently you need to order in advance. Sometimes we can do same day though depending on size, decoration, availability and flavor

    Hi there. Do you make princess cake? (The Swedish one with marzipan, etc) thanks, Melissa?

    We do many styles of custom cakes, but do not currently make the princess marzipan cake. Looks delicious though!

    I cannot say enough amazing things about Batter Up Bakery…read more I'm a wedding planner with over a decade of experience, and I have truly seen it all... but this was a first. Due to a major mistake on the venue's end, our couple's wedding cake was served to a different event the day before the wedding. Yes... the entire cake was gone. We were left without a cake for the bride and groom to cut on their wedding day, and with very little time to fix it. Enter Batter Up Bakery... and they absolutely saved the day. From the very first interaction, Samantha at the front counter was incredibly kind, responsive, and helpful. Selena, the decorator, did an unbelievable job recreating the cake exactly as originally designed. And Jim, the owner who handled delivery, was professional, communicative, and ensured everything arrived perfectly. They stepped in quickly and created a replacement cake that looked identical to what the couple originally ordered. Not only was it visually perfect, but it was also delicious. The entire process was seamless and handled with such care. The most incredible part? The bride had no idea anything had gone wrong until after the wedding. Everything felt flawless, and that is exactly what you hope for as a planner. In all my years in the industry, I have never experienced customer service like this. Batter Up turned what could have been a disaster into a perfect moment. I will be recommending them to every single one of my future couples. Truly phenomenal service, talent, and professionalism.

She was always very accommodating to my fiancé and I since we didn't live in California at the time that we were planning our wedding. We would be in California for only a few dates and could only make it out to Temecula at certain times and Debbie was still able to help us plan it all and provide a cake tasting for us. That tasting was phenomenal and sold us right away! Paying for the creation of cakes was pretty easy! They don't send out reminders if you split out the payments (I did it in two payments) so make sure to pay attention to the dates. The only downside in all of this was trying to reach out to Debbie right before our wedding (to ensure the second payment went through to her and to ensure our cake would be ready and arriving at our venue). When I did get ahold of her, she did not remember me or my order, but assured me it was in her calendar. Luckily, my wedding day of organizer was able to coordinate with her ahead of time and I did not know of this until my rehearsal day. So all in all it worked out and everything was assured! Our cake turned out perfect! Exactly what Debbie and I had spoken about almost a year before. We couldn't have been happier with the moist cake and yummy soft filling and frosting. It was SO good! Can't go wrong with these beautiful and delicious cakes!

    First off, THANK YOU so much, Shannon !…read more @sliceoflifebakery951 I can not rave enough about how fantastic her cakes are! They're fun, creative, vibrant, unique, and so delicious!!!

From initial sketches to her creative cake suggestions, her cakes exceed my expectations, every single time. By far, our most favorite and most delicious cakes we've ever had for our special occasions. We've had the chance to showcase her cakes, cake pops, and cupcakes for several of our son's birthdays, baby showers and even my dad's surprise 70th. Last year, sadly, I didn't book my son's cake early enough, and we (especially our son) missed her cake immensely! He was so disappointed and we did our best to make do. This year, I contacted her months in advance via Facebook. She responds promptly and professionally. I am so grateful to have worked with her because she shows so much care in her work and having her cakes make each of our events, milestones, and celebrations that much more memorable. We look forward to working with her at every occasion we possibly can. Thank you again so much, Shannon!!!! You truly made our son's birthday this year.
