Choose items like Cadbury chocolate brownies, Biscoff or Raffelo cupcakes, or even sundae cups! Seeing as though there were only 2 left, I ordered a Belgian Chocolate Malt cupcake for about tree fiddy (no joke) and was on my way. The cupcake was superb. The base is a nice, moist chocolate cake. But the frosting is where it truly shines. It was so rich and malty, it was like eating a soft Malteser. What's even better is that the size is not obscene, so you're felt feeling satisfied but not overwhelmed. Service was polite. And if you're not in the Elmont area, no worries as there are now a few locations on the island. Would gladly recommend them for your bakeshop needs!

The cake was at the venue before I arrived, so I didn't have to worry about delivery, which was particularly helpful since the party was in Manhattan. The cake was a huge part of our 50th birthday celebration, and I'm so glad we used them. Not only was the cake flawless, but it also tasted good - it was red velvet with cream cheese frosting. I would definitely use this company again, you won't be disappointed.

Now I've known about them for a while but this was my first actually ordering from them. I called on a Saturday at about 3pm and Jermaine answered the call, both literally and figuratively. I nervously mentioned I needed a cake for the evening.. by 6pm, as I needed to be in Williamsburg by 7:15pm. He responded not to worry as they had a beautiful 10'' double chocolate, oreo cookie, multi-layered cake that would fit the occasion perfectly... my heroes! The gf and her friends absolutely loved the cake and were wow'd by how pretty, big and delicious it was. We had 7 people at the table and even after some folks took big pieces to go, we had nearly half the cake to take home!

So far, I enjoyed my visit here.

Recently I've gotten back into going here and I'm so glad I did. The staff is always very friendly. It's a small bakery but with a very good selection. I've gotten a few too good to go boxes from here within the last couple of months and they are extremely generous with the portions they give for those boxes. The first time they gave me a large box full of pastries, a box with four large cupcakes and two loaves of semolina. Went again last night and recieved a box with 8 large cannolis and a large apple crumb pie. The parking lot is very small and in front of the store, so if they're busy you may not be able to find a spot as there are definitely less than 10 parking spots.

I had intended to surprise my wife with a replica of our wedding cake, which your esteemed bakery crafted 20 years ago. For your reference, I provided two photographs of the original cake. Regrettably, the product I received deviates significantly from my request and is not what I had envisioned. I have attached the original request, the item received, and my order details as supporting documentation. For Buttercooky management, it was my fault. I wasn't asking for a refund, but acknowledgment there was a mistake. So please make sure if you order a cake, don't leave it to interpretation. Make 100% sure they are aware of what you want because if not, it's your fault. CUSTOMERS ARE NEVER RIGHT AT BUTTERCOOKY BAKERY AS PER MANAGEMENT.

So for other bakery needs go to the bakery down the block at Riesterer"s. I did. I can not say how good Sunflower bakery foods are.
