This review should have been posted a few weeks ago but my schedule didn't allow me to actually sit…read morestill to do so ...I wanted to ensure I had the time to truly explain how amazing my experience has been with this Company. To start, I live in Philly & my daughter was Penn State Altoona at the time & on 4/26/26 she turned 20yrs old and this was the first time I wasn't going to celebrating with her and being hands on with all the plans. But with the secret help of her College Friends I was able to plan an amazing Birthday weekend in state college for all of them to enjoy but the most stressful thing was find her the perfect Cake!! Her friends wanted to go to pick one up from a Supermarket but because I wasn't going to be there I wanted to make everything about her Bday super special and a market cake wasn't going to work unfortunately in addition they were college kids with no vehicles I didn't want to put that taste on them and it may or many not get done. I was now less then 2wks from her Bday weekend and just now starting the search for the perfect "I'm sorry Mommy couldn't be there but hopefully this amazingly crafted artwork now called your Bday Cake makes up for it" type of Cake. So my 3-4hrs long search begun..I needed to find a Bakery that could make her a cake that not only looked good but tastes even better (I have been disappointed in the past so my research was on the First 48 level, ...a bad cake can ruin entire Bday in my opinion. In addition, I needed discreet delivery services. After hours of searching, reading reviews & scanning every social media accounts as well as any and all websites that mentioned their names to ensure all T's were crossed and the reviews were actually verified by real people before choosing Dolce Vita Desserts. Their designs were all so creative & beautifully done and after emailing a few times with Anthony he not only confirmed my specific request but he also ensure that they could/would customize to design I preferred..so I took two Of their designs (because I loved them both and couldn't decide one over the other) and made it one :) I also explained to Anthony my need desperately need for delivery ..( their site mentioned how delivery was limited) I was willing to send it as uber package delivery even I was praying I wouldn't have to do that. But, Anthony not only approved my delivery he also advised me to touch bases with the Hotel staff and provide them with the box dimensions to ensure their fridge would be able fit/store and also gave specifics on how to properly store ...information I didn't even think to consider. I whole heartily appreciate all that Anthony has done to help make my daughter's Birthday super special. Everything was executed seamlessly, even down to the delivery confirmation email I received from Both Dolce & the Hotel. My daughter not only loved her surprise bday weekend but she was in love with her cake!! I ordered the 6" inch round white cake with strawberry preserves. I thought that since only my daughter & 3 of her friends were celebrating with her that they would take the left over cake to share with others at their dorm but she told me the cake was so good they devoured it. Not one crumb was left. Which was done after making a photo shoot with the cake! She loved everything about that cake! My only regret...is the fact that I wasn't able to try it myself! I recommend Dolce Vita Desserts to every one! You won't be disappointed!!

We had Dlites make our wedding cake and it turned out great! We had went to the shop beforehand and…read moreordered 6 flavors we wanted to try. From those 6 we chose to do a lemon cupcake with blueberry preserves(my favorite), strawberry shortcake, a chocolate with white frosting, and a traditional white cake with white icing. Then we asked if the shop could do a small top tier cake for us to cut into and save for our anniversary. They had no issue with that at all. Dlites asked us the colors of the wedding so they could put special ribbon on the cupcake stand. Everyone loved the cupcakes! We had 85 people including ourselves, and we got 110 cupcakes. That was plenty and we had some to take home as well. A little pricey, but definitely worth it.

My most recent birthday my family decided to get me a cake from this place. I can't speak to what…read morethis place looks like on the inside, because I have never stepped foot inside, so I will focus on the cake. My favorite cake is marble. I like the majority of my cake to be vanilla and have some of that chocolate swirled in. It also is an inside joke in my family when it comes to marble cake. That is exactly what I got from here. A perfect portion of both vanilla and chocolate baked into a small sheet cake. The cake was decorated with more inside jokes from my family, but the main base of the design was a speed limit sign with my age as the mph. White and black icing that had the right amount of sweetness. I like a good cake, but if the icing is too sweet it kind of kills the treat. The cake itself was a bit dense, but had so much flavor. Of course the icing was a hit. There was more than enough left over after my gathering with family for my birthday. And of course I ate what was left.
