I drive by Irene's to get to work and I couldn't help but notice the sign advertising their Zeppole! I have not had many of these fried doughnuts before except for at scaddabush but they were more in a TimBit shape with chocolate sauce. I was pleasantly surprised with the way these were prepared, not what I was expecting them to taste like but they were nice and fluffy, not too sweet with the amount of powdered sugar sprinkled over them and the contrast of flavour with the custard and the cherries was very good! The only reason I'm giving it 4/5 is because for such a small spaced bakery there were WAY too many people inside, you could hardly move and instead of creating a line inside the store I would have expected them to keep it outside like many other bakeries are doing right now. The staff was very nice but I would have liked to been able to walk around the bakery more instead of just wanting to place my order and scram due to how uncomfortable I felt. read more

Irene's Celebrity Cakes - FRESH Zeppole with custard - Bakeries Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

The espressos are sooo good. The sandwiches look great too. Free parking and lots of good food.

We tried 2 different things from this bakery today and both were pretty average. We got a zepole which was pretty big in size. The pasty had an old oil smell and was soggy. There were also some berries on it which were not fresh. We also got a sponge cake that had cream in it and White Chocolate on top. The cake was pricey and not worth it. The sponge was super dry, less in quantity and was over compensated with cream on top. The white chocolate on the other hand was yummy. Maybe other items taste better on the menu but I will not be returning to try those! read more

I probably have something from here every couple months. And this has probably been the case for the past few years. Yet somehow, every time I think of remembering to write a review, I can never dig up pictures from the past. So unfortunately, no pictures for this review, but I don't want to procrastinate on writing it anymore. The place is nice, with a couple tables if you want to sit and eat while at the cafe. They are usually super busy, so you will have to have some patience if you are going in to order or even just pick up. But the quality of the stuff is really good. Prices are a little high, but nothing insane. I've tried their cookies, cakes, a bunch of stuff. Everything is pretty good. Their cakes stay fresh even after days and sometimes weeks. They've got quite a large variety to choose from, and I think at this point I may have tried all of them and still don't have a complaint. Definitely a great spot if you need to pick up a nicer cake for someone, or indulge in some other baked goods. read more

Amazing spot. Perfect location for a delicious cannoli anytime anyday. Multiple flavors. read more

Irene's Celebrity Cakes - Vanilla Cannoli - Bakeries Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

Relatively close to the airport, this local bakery has a good assortment on Italian desserts (mainly pastries) taste-wise it was good but not amazing compared to other Italian bakeries I've been to. However, the designs are definitely gorgeous. If you are looking for a beautiful cake for a special occasion then this is definitely a good find! Irene, the owner, custom decorated all of them herself and they are quite beautiful! If I lived much closer I would definitely order a custom cake from her. read more

I'm giving this place a 2 star because the pastries were below my expectations for flavor. Other than that everything was fresh, presentation is exceptional and the service was good. I ate a Bacio slice and it was tasteless. One reviewer claimed that the Italian Rum cake is good. I may try a slice of that. However, I'm very skeptical of ordering a cake. read more

Amazing cannoli and everything else. It's a great little hidden gem in Mississauga. They also now have gluten free or egg free cakes also. read more

Irene's Celebrity Cakes - Italian Rum cake - Bakeries Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

I have gotten my daughter's custom birthday cake here, 3 years in a row. Very pleased with the customer service and of course the taste! Each time I have gone in, I was never rushed. They sit down with you and take the time to go over everything with you. I will definitely be back. Next will be for a baptism cake! TIP: The parking lot around side of building is uneven and bumpy....sooo after you put the cake in the car, drive extremely slow after you turn to leave the place lol read more

We are so happy that we got our lavish over-the-top wedding cake and a croquembouche for our ceremony from Irene - they were both exceptional! Simply the best! Each of the pate-a-choux were filled with the most delicious cream and decorated so beautifully in white chocolate and assorted sizes of handmade flowers and gold dust - stunning! Every guest got a generous portion - we couldn't be more happy! Irene herself took the time to make the most beautiful & glamorous 6-layer tiered wedding cake with hand-piping and draping with hand-made flowers in champagne and blush. Flavors we chose: Bacci with chocolate sponge; Strawberry cream with vanilla sponge; Pina colada (coconut and pineapple) with vanilla sponge. They delivered the croquembouche and the cake on time and ensured every detail was perfect. We ordered our cake and the croquembouche about 4 months ahead of our August wedding and our guests and family couldn't have been more delighted. Flavour and Taste: 5/5 Variety of Flavours: 5/5 Adornment: 5/5 Design: 5/5 Overall Value: PRICELESS! read more

Our little girl's cake was flavourful and the decoration was phenomenal! I had sent them a photo of what I would like on the cake. They transformed the cake into a magical, beautiful and sparkling cake. It was too pretty to cut up. My little girl loved it and our guested complimented on the taste of freshness and appearance. They even asked where I bought it. Price was reasonable and they listen to the customers needs and make it outstanding to please their clients. Highly recommended for future orders! read more

Irene's Celebrity Cakes - Bakeries Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

Perfect location if you want a cake that is totally NOT what you ordered. Staff doesn't listen to what you want at all. I ordered a blue and green cake with a hint of orange and with a clear, legible writing. Instead I got orange and green cake with hint of blue and brown and illegible italic writing. Not only it isn't what I ordered but it's also one of the ugliest cakes I've ever seen. Cake might be good in taste but this is not the o l'y resin people order a cake. Won't be going there ever again. read more

Irene's Celebrity Cakes - Ordered green and blue cake with a hint of orange and clear legible writing. Got this sh*** instead.. - Bakeries Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

Amazing Cakes!!! Amazing Pastries!!! Great customer service!! Have been going here for years. Always buy my cakes for special occasions at Irene's and they never disappoint. Also, Zeppole's are the most delicious I could find in the GTA. Keep up the good work Irene and Staff! read more

It was a hot and humid day in Mississauga... We were taking a walk in Centennial Park. A group of east Indians were playing crickets... an ice cream truck did stop near us. We did take a look and... nope, if we are going to have ice cream, we can do better than cheap ice cream! So we looked at Yelp and found this place near by. It was not that clear that the place had gelato but they had Cannoli for sure, so we decided to try it. Upon walking in we saw the gelato counter right away so I decided to have gelato and ALSO a cannolo! There was vanilla and chocolate filled cannoli in the counter but i was informed by the friendly staff that they were filling the cannoli in the back if I wanted one with ricotta, which was my choice... obviously! It was excellent, so was the cappuccino I ordered to complete the snack! Oh, and we tool some Brutti ma buoni cookies for the road! read more

FRESH... is one of the best things I can say about Irene's! The cakes, cannoli's, pizza, veal sandwiches....they are all so amazing. Everything is made so fresh! The staff are all very friendly and hard working. They go out of their way to make all customers feel special. Stop in for a cappuccino and a pastry! Or take home some delicious, mouth watering desserts! read more

We ordered french macaroons (for my shower) and cake (for our wedding) from Irene's and both were absolutely delicious!!! The wedding cake left overs didn't last long as our family all requested to have some the next day because it was so yummy :) We had 3 flavors - hazelnut/vanilla, lemon/raspberry, and lastly red velvet/cream cheese. All of them were equally tasty, but the hazelnut was the most popular of the night. We were hesitant about not having a fondant wedding cake, mainly about how it will look since there are more design options with fondant, but we trusted Irene as we heard great reviews from family and friends who have ordered cakes from here as well. We showed her a picture of an ombre blush pink ruffled cake and she created it perfectly, better than what we had shown her. We brought in our own roses the day before for her to add as well. It looked and tasted amazing. We loved it! Overall, Irene was super friendly (as was the staff!) and always offered us coffee or tea while we were there. The tasting appointment we had was amazing we could tell immediately that all of the ingredients were fresh. We would highly recommend going here. We plan on returning for sure. read more

Irene's Celebrity Cakes - Best (non-fondant) Wedding Cake Ever! - Bakeries Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

Irene's Celebrity Bakery is phenomenal! I have been going there for 8 years and have never been disappointed. They use fresh quality ingredients including real cream and recently have expanded on the gluten free menu. I highly recommend Irene's Celebrity Cakes.

You will not be disappointed try it I'm a hundred percent sure you'll like it! read more

Irene's Celebrity Cakes - Bakeries Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

I've bought cakes from several local and national chains before. In Toronto, I'd say Dufflet does an excellent job, but in Mississauga, this Italian bakery, Irene's Celebrity Cakes, is the *best* place to get fresh, delicious, beautiful cakes made on site. I've been going to them for years, and the service is always prompt. I don't think I've ever walked in here when it wasn't busy. It's truly a hidden gem that the locals know about. I just wish more people would know about it! read more

It was a total disappointment. we usually buy caked from Lasem thought Irene will give us same or better quality than Lasem. Sadly Irene celebrity cakes were dry & stale missing freshness. They just dump their unsold stuff to the customers they can't matchup the Lasem 's standards. Don't buy from them. people just stick to Lasem for you Cakes. read more

The cakes at this place are exceptionally good. Even your basic sponge cake is much better than your average bakery with the buttercream not too sweet and the custard incredibly delicious! All the cakes I have had here are always super fresh. The customer service is not 100% but I think it's because of how busy they are. It depends on the day you go there. For me personally it's not that big of a deal especially if the products are as delicious as they are. read more

Amazing cakes, pastries for any occasion! Irene always goes above and beyond to make sure my cakes are of the highest standard! I don't usually have a sweet tooth but every time I have a slice of their cakes it just melts in my mouth! The ferrero rocher is a must try for any cake lover! read more

I didn't come here for the cakes but to sample the other goods offered such as amaretto cookies, pizza, focaccia and gelato. The prices are high but the quality is there. They also serve coffee of course read more

Came back after a long time to Irene's. Had a nice cappucino with a croissant. Great way to start the day. This place is known for the cannoli's which are made daily and fresh. Usually they don't disappointment. read more

Irene's never disappoints. Have been ordering cakes and pastries here for years. They recently made my son's baptism cake (strawberry shortcake with chantilly cream)and it was perfect. All my guests couldn't believe how fresh the cream and strawberries were. The pastries were amazing as well- so fresh. I highly recommend Irene's to anyone craving authentic fresh Italian desserts. read more

I ordered a Black Forest cake for my son's 7th bday. The cake was the best I have ever had. So moist and well decorated and not too sweet just perfect. I will be buying all my cakes for special events from here I highly recommend their cakes. read more

Irene is the real deal! She made us an amazing wedding cake 7 years ago. Her cakes are awesome and her pastries are to die for. I highly recommend the sholia cake.... all are amazing but I like the hazelnut chocolate cream! Her canoli are top notch and you are in for a treat. read more

Got a b day cake there great service and the quality was excellent. Will be back for the next time I need anything baked.

I've purchased their hazelnut delight cake 3 times prior to placing another order on Wednesday. I ordered the cake for pickup on Friday at 5pm. When I arrived at 5 pm I had to wait 10 minutes for them to finish my cake. With anticipation our family each had a piece on Friday evening after dinner. To our surprise the cake was not moist as usual. It tasted like a stale cake not the usual moist Italian cake we've had in the past. On Sunday morning I cut a piece of the cake and brought it in to the bakery and spoke to Irene. Irene took the cake to the back tried it and returned to speak to me. She said the cake is usally made the night before but this cake was baked in the mornimg and put in the fridge to cool. She said the bottom piece of the cake was moist and the top was dry (it was really dry). She said sometimes people complain about the cake being too moist. This time they did not wet it enough because the cake was made in the morning and they were afraid of making it too wet. She said the cake is still eatible because the bottom of the cake is moist. She did not offer me anything at all, no replacement, no discount on the next cake, no apology. She said that next time I order I need to tell them I complained the cake was too dry last time. They obviously have a quality control issue. This quality control issue should not be the customers problem. I should have brought the whole cake back to her and dropped it on the counter so her customers know what a lousy cake experience they may get as well. I will never be going back to Irene's bakery again. My Italian friends tell me there is another bakery in the area which is much better than Irene's. read more

I have been ordering from Irene's for many years. I previously ordered from La Sem but when Irene left there, I followed. She is amazing, will make any type of cake, just give her a photo of what you want done and she will do it. The cakes are always fresh, delicious and leaves us all wanting more. She will also make sure it does not come into contact with nuts which is very important to me as we have a child with nut allergies. read more

Our 3rd cake in 4 weeks was a Tule Log. All cakes were moist and beautifully finished. I highly recommend Irene's!

Wanted to order a cake from here. Brought in some pictures of cakes I liked. Got to talk to "the celebrity" herself. It was a disaster. For some reason, none of my ideas were "possible" even though my event was over a month away. Had to settle for one of her designs which was "possible". So I just booked it. I had never bought a wedding cake before and I didn't shop around. I should have. Her prices were like double or triple of everyone else. Her designs were old fashioned. Once I found all this out it was too late and wasn't allowed a refund (even though it was like 2 weeks before the event, so there's no way they could have started the cake, or maybe they did?). Anyway, we got the cake. It looked like the design I picked. I mean I have to admit it. Unfortunately I was forced into a design I didn't like. The cake itself was gross. It was really dry and tasteless. Yuck! No no, I will not be coming back. Overpriced and kinda gross. read more
