Edit: To answer the owner's comments, we gave some the cake away to a relative, hoping they would enjoy it more than we did. They ended up not enjoying it, so that's why there's some missing and none of us wanted to eat it anymore! Spoke to Suzi when picking up the cake and explained to her that the cake would not be eaten on the day of, but instead two days later. The cake was for September 1st and that happened to be Labor Day so I had to pick it up earlier! She said, "That's fine," and it can be stored in the fridge for up to a week and in the freezer for up to three months. So, not sure why there's a sense of judgement, cakes should be able to be stored for longer periods of time! And we wanted to order from a bakery specifically, since it was a special occasion. Not sure what your reference to a "squished" cake has to do with it food will accumulate residue in containers overtime! 9/12/25 From seeing professional pictures online of the beautiful cakes on Google Reviews of Suzi Cakes and good reviews on Yelp, I genuinely thought that the red velvet cake I ordered over the phone with Suzi would be amazing. Boy, was I wrong. I had to throw out the cake after 6 days because no one wanted to eat it anymore. We gave some part of the cake away to a relative, so we didn't consume much...not sure if they enjoyed it either. There were 'red' flags that I noticed when placing an order with Suzi. I chose to ignore them because I needed a nicely catered cake for my sister's birthday. Suzi sounded very direct over the phone and sometimes dismissive, so I felt that I needed to truly know and prepare for how I wanted my cake each time I called. I could not go in person to explain or show pictures due to the distance from her business in East Hanover. Suzi gave me the listed price of $90, and I personally thought it was overpriced for a 7-inch, single-tiered cake. I originally did not want to place with Suzi, but I could not find a place around me that would do a red velvet cake legitimately, besides Coco Luxe Cakes in Peapack and Gladstone. Coco Luxe discontinued their red velvet cakes, unfortunately, which is the cake I truly needed, hence why I ordered here. Next, trying to find the suite number and building for this place was a nightmare, another red flag. It's very tight behind some train tracks and very easy to miss. Thank goodness for advanced technology and Google Maps/Street View for helping me navigate. I called Suzi on the phone so she could service me at the front desk to get the cake. I picked up the cake and truly believed that I would make my sister's birthday special, and I planned everything perfectly. I stored the cake in the fridge for 2 days before eating and followed all of Suzi's storage directions. We tried the cake and it was awful. It had a fermented-like taste, and we could not eat it. I saw a similar review on Yelp of someone having Suzi make their cake for their wedding, and their wedding guests could not eat it; it was that bad. I was hoping that would not happen to me, but it did, surely. The icing was hard, dry, and chunky; the cake itself lacked flavor. I got a red velvet cake from ShopRite in July for $16.99, and it tasted way better; just the cake was a little dry. I called Suzi to give her some feedback so she knows. She informed me to come back so she could examine the taste, but at that point, we threw the cake out. $90 truly wasted. Can't really ask for a refund, I guess, because I never came back to her about it, because her location is almost an hour from my house...not sustainable for me. Despite the good reviews, I will never go to Suzi Cakes again. I will stick with another recommendation I got from a relative for Coco Luxe in Peapack if I want a professionally made cake from a bakery. My sister's birthday was ruined, and no one in my family liked the cake. The price for the cake was outrageous, and compared to other local bakeries in the area, the price does not justify the taste. The presentation of the cake is good, but the taste is abysmal. Save yourself, your palate, and your wallet by looking elsewhere! read more

I stumbled onto Suzi Cakes after having to pivot unexpectedly from a bad experience trying to order from a local (new) bakery. Suzi Cakes could not have been nicer or more accommodating with just 2 weeks notice. The communication was so simple, professional, and pleasant. They delivered the cake exactly when they said (in the pouring rain) and even placed the topper and flowers on it before leaving! And then the cake itself...oh my yum! We did Vanilla with Oreo Mousse filling and it was DELICIOUS. The cake was so soft, fluffy, and flavorful. And the filling was awesome! I know I've found my new bakery for future events!!! Thank you Suzi Cakes! read more

Suzi made the most amazing cake for our wedding. It was so beautiful, I honestly do not want to cut it a part! It was very soft, moist, and darn-right delicious. I got the raspberry french custard with fresh raspberries and vanilla cake, and chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream for the top layer. Truly the hit of the event, everyone raved it! We still have the second layer left, which my husband and I thought about freezing for our first anniversary but since the temptation is crave, I think we'll just have Suzi re-make the cake when the time comes lol Also, Suzi was very accommodating to work with, would highly recommend. Thank you again Suzi! read more

These cakes are amazing! They are not only beautiful but they are delicious too! The cake was light and had a great texture and the buttercream icing under the fondant was also delicious. Do not be afraid to go for the smooth fondant it was not overly sweet (as with others I have tasted). Working with Suzi went smoothly she is friendly and professional and she created a cake that perfectly executed my vision! The cake pops were just as good and were fairly priced as they were intricately created to match the cake theme. I won't call anyone else to make our event cakes! Give Suzi Cakes a try! read more

Suzi made the most delicious gender reveal cake for us. She was so nice to work with, got the cake back to me as soon as she could, decorated it beautifully, and kept the gender a secret with a nice thick icing so we couldn't tell what the gender was whatsoever. Thank you Suzi!!! read more

The cakes and cupcakes are tasty, which is why I'm giving Suzi Cakes three stars. My problem is that when I communicated with Suzi via email to bake me a very basic naked cake, I had to ask twice for a price (there are absolutely no prices listed on her website). Seems like she was intentionally not trying to give me a price for whatever reason. Then, when I went to pick up the cake, she tried charging me an extra $10 from what she had quoted earlier. I pulled up my email to confirm that I didn't make a mistake and didn't have the price wrong. This left such a bad taste in my mouth (pun intended). Business owners should be very clear on pricing. I can see this possibly being tricky with making a complicated cake with lots of crazy decoration, but not with a standard naked cake. read more

We needed to bring something to my sister who has just had her first baby. My husband and I were visiting from Detroit, so we trusted yelp and went to Suzi cakes. They had a large selection of cupcakes. I asked what the speciality was, and Suzi said it was her cheesecake flavor. I ordered one key lime cheesecake and one dulce de leche cheesecake cupcake. In addition, we ordered 4 other cupcakes. I am not a cake fan but both of the cheesecake cupcakes were insanely good. We brought them for my sister but ended up eating those two. I would definitely come back here next time when I'm in New Jersey! read more

Suzi Cakes - Let me start off by saying how beautiful my cake was! It tasted amazing! Can't believe how gorgeous! Happy customer! - Bakeries Near Me - East Hanover, New Jersey

I have never been so impressed with a small mom and pop cupcake shop before. Let me just start off with how once you walk into Suzi Cakes, IMMEDIATELY your greeted by obviously a very happy couple with two welcoming smile's. Then you are overwhelmed with the smells of chocolate and fresh cakes and cookies! The place is very clean and cute-pink everything basically, with small tints of light green(very cute)! In the front they have a larger book with all of Suzi's creations of custom cakes. Now when you say talent, this chicks got it. These cakes were BEYOND beautiful and crafted so amazing. I could not believe the kind of skill she has. I was pretty full from the dinner but something told me to stop and poke my head in and WHAM! WHO HAS LITTLE TINY CHEESECAKE CUPCAKES???? SUZI CAKES DOES! BEST SWEET I HAVE EVER HAD. It had a GRHAMCRACKER CRUST, I got the cheesecake cupcake "CARMEL SWIRL". It was 3.75 and worth every penny. I ate it at home and I hated myself for not buying more at the time! (gives me and excuse to go back hehe) I LOVE LOVED talking to the owners. Steve and Suzi talked to me for a while and seemed generally interested in what I had to say- and I must admit I felt somewhat bad once I left because they both looked very busy BUT STILL TALKED TO ME. Now that's some good customer service. I love everything about this place, I hope it thrives and those nice people get everything they deserve. THANK YOU SUZI CAKES! You made my day. read more

Suzi Cakes made my wedding shower cake which was, in a word, AMAZING! Some places you have one or the other, look or taste but Suzi Cakes Cake looked and tasted fantastic. I am getting married on the beach and they made me a 2-tier shower cake. Top layer was the "beach" filled with strawberry shortcake and the bottom layer was the "water" filled with a 3 layerchocolate cake and cream (like a hostess cupcake). Surrounding the cake was the most delicious mini cupcakes. My favorite part was the top of the cake which had a palm tree made of chocolate and our names and wedding date carved in the sand. It was delivered on time and delivered RAVE reviews from my guests. (I posted picture) read more

A cute little bakery that is easy to miss if you haven't heard of it. I stopped in based on a recommendation from a friend, and discovered that Suzi Cakes provides a limited variety of cupcakes, cheesecakes, and cookies. I had the Cannoli Cupcake, which was OK but not great. It might have been the result of the cold refrigeration, but the cupcake didn't seem super fresh. Still, the flavors were OK and it was a nice little treat that you can't find elsewhere in the area. I also saw a great decorated cake and was told that they can do customized cakes that are pre-ordered. Prices were decent with each cupcake ringing in at about $2.75... about a dollar less than a Crumbs Cupcake. I hope that business picks up so Suzi Cakes will start to provide a bigger variety of sugary goodness. read more

After months of only passing this place when it was closed, I've now been by twice in a week while it's open! Oh fair Providence! (Suggestion #1: stay open later. Evening has to be better than morning for cupcake sales. Disclaimer: I am not a cupcake salesman.) This is not all about cupcakes though. Suzi makes Cakes. Okay, it's mostly about cupcakes. There are more varieties of cupcakes than you can shake a partially filled icing bag at. Examples: Gingerbread, chocolate peppermint, cannoli, pumpkin. There are also cupcake-shaped cheesecakes that are every bit as good as a cupcake but replace dough with cheese for extra decadence. (You will hate yourself afterwards, but love yourself for making the decision that results in hating yourself. Conflict feels like a very full stomach.) Not into cupcakes? Suzi's got you covered with other desserts. I had a... well it was coconut and chocolate chips and other goodness mashed together in square form. It's good. You should get it. You have to figure out what it is though. So four stars, not five? Besides the hours, the only gripe I have is the price. Of course you get what you pay for here, and Suzi herself is baking everything from scratch (I'm just making a gross assumption here). I'm sure the prices are reasonable for what she has to do, and the empty shelves by 3 PM (4 PM close on Sunday. No one likes weekend cupcakes apparently) indicate that she's found a good price point. Certainly she is always friendly, and the place is clean albeit quite small in front. Short of half-price cupcakes within an hour of closing, the only suggestion I think could really gain traction for 5 stars is to refine those closing hours. Oh, and chocolate. Lots of chocolate. Quadruple chocolate with melty chocolate center and five types of chocolate bars melted in. Flour optional. If you take me up on this, please let me know. read more

Great experience with Suzi Cakes! The baby shower cake that Suzi created for us was absolutely wonderful and got tons of compliments at the party. It was the centerpiece of the dessert table and showed very well for photos. Everyone was very happy with it. The cupcakes and cakepops were also excellent and beautifully designed.

This is the first review I have ever written but I had to rave about Suzi Cakes. I was ordering a cake for delivery as a gift for a business associate. I spoke with her personally on the phone and she offered creative suggestions to match the recipients taste preferences and custom made the cake as promised. The cake needed to be delivered at a very specific time and she delivered promptly and on time. She also went out of her way to pick up an added item to bring with the delivery to make it that much more special and surprising. I would HIGHLY recommend her and plan to work with her again in the future. read more

(Now called creations by Sabrina) I literally cannot say enough about the amazing job that they did on the cake for my best friend's bridal shower. I simply called and spoke to Suzi directly and was able to email a picture that way I did not have to go in. Everything was done over the phone and email. I ordered it on Tuesday (I believe) and it was perfectly ready for pick up Saturday night. Sabrina (the new owner) was so sweet and ensured the cake was secure for the car ride home. The cake was gorgeous and exactly what I asked for and tasted AMAZING. In my experience speciality cake are dry or too sweet or tasteless, but no this one. I will definitely be going back for my own shower, wedding, birthdays, etc. thank you!! read more

I decided to surprise hubs with some sweets to congratulate him on his new job and Suzicakes was close by. I had purchased cupcakes from here once before and was ehh about them but decided to try again. A guy walked in ahead of me and was very chatty cathy with the staff, the woman behind the counter was super friendly, perhaps she was Suzi. Anyway I browsed all the delightful cupcakes available--see my photos. They had a pretty good selection for a hole in the wall bakery. I opted for the cookie dough, a vanilla cupcake stuffed with cookie dough, topped with buttercream (i think), covered in ganache and topped with a cookie dough ball , and a canolli filled, vanilla cake, buttercream, stuffed with canolli cream. Husband was really excited, and then must have forgotten that I got him these treats because now, almost 7 days later I finally said I'm having some of your dang cupcake. I'm happy to say despite a lot of refrigerator funk from a weekend bbq the cupcakes didn't pick up any weird flavors. I only tried the cookiedough but omg so good. The cupcake was moist and tender, the cookie dough was obviously delicious. I only ate half and that was plenty, it was pretty heavy but not in a gross diabeetus kind of way. He caught on and ate the rest of that cupcake plus the cannoli filled, he seemed quite happy. SOOO I will def be back to Suzi Cakes. I'm happy to be able to give my money to a local bakery and support Main Street being awesome. The two cupcakes I got were $5 and change, not bad imo for 2 decent sized cupcakes. Go check out Suzi Cakes! read more

This is a fantastic bakery with the cutest family! I've gone here so times since I've grown up in this area and tried many of their amazing cupcakes (red velvet, Oreo, vanilla, carrot cake, etc), mini cheesecakes, and tons of their cookies. The cupcakes are large, dense, moist, perfectly sweetened, and have a nice layer of icing on top (my favorite is the cream cheese icing on the red velvet cupcake)! My family orders a huge box of their assorted cookies for parties or as gifts all the time. These cookies are not like the assorted cookies from the grocery store...these are on a whole other level! This bakery also makes beautiful wedding cakes. Very classy. Suzi Cake's is well known around town so you should definitely drop by and try at least one or two cupcakes and a few cookies! If you like red velvet cupcakes, they make the best in the area in my opinion! read more

So as i closed door after having just finished my second helping of Suzi Cakes' lemon cake ( i don't know the exact complete technical name! :p) it dawns on me that i have never left a review of Suzi Cakes. I don't even like any lemon anything pastries, but she makes this lemon cake thing that is my exception to the rule!! Lemon desserts usually tend to have a abrasive lemon flavor, but this dessert completely dispels the lemon pastry myth. The mini cheesecakes here are delicious too. I'm easily a good 30 minutes from Suzi's (in light traffic) and the drive is well worth it you want to satisfy your sweet tooth!!! ENJOY!!! read more
