    Birthday cake
    Suz P.

    We have been using bakery nook for birthday cakes for the past 6-7 years and have been happy with the product every single time. I've given them creative freedom with some cakes and sent them photos to copy for other cakes, and all have been a hit in flavor and decoration. We also buy donuts when we go in to pick up our orders and they are also delicious.

    I would not recommend ordering from this bakery. I ordered 30 cupcakes that I wanted made into a cross for my daughters baptism. I originally contacted the bakery on Facebook messenger on June 25th and was told to call the bakery the next morning. The next morning I called the bakery and spoke to a lady. I told the lady exactly what I wanted and asked if it was possible to have done. She responded back and said yes and was provided a phone number and was told text the cake decorator my name, what I wanted done, when I would be picking it up and any pictures I had. I went ahead and sent the number provided all of my details and a picture of what I wanted. Shortly after sending the message I received a thumbs up reply from the cake decorator. Fast forward to July 13th. I arrived at the bakery. My husband went inside to pickup the cupcakes, shortly after he came back out and told me they didn't have our order. I was in my car tending to my baby so I called them on the phone and questioned what was going on. The lady who answered told me they don't see my order on the calendar and that they don't have it. I went inside and showed proof that I placed the order and the owners husband confirmed I messaged the correct number and he seen the number responded back to me. The owners husband called his wife and was on the phone with her for a few minutes explaining the situation to her. At this point I'm absolutely devastated!! My daughters baptism was in 5 hours and now I don't have anything to take to her reception to share with our guests. Once the owners husband was off the phone he offered me two small cakes that he had in the fridge. I appreciate the fact that he offered the two cakes however I explained to him that I ordered 30 cupcakes and that the small cakes would not be enough for all my guests. The owners husband than proceeded to tell me that each cake serves 8 and that it would be a total of 16 pieces with the two cakes. I then again explain to him that we have 25 guests coming and that it wouldn't be enough. He responded to tell me "we'll not everyone eats cake". (Actually every single guest that came ate a slice of cake). I do appreciate the fact that he gave us the two small cakes for free however it wasn't what I ordered, and wasn't enough for my guests. Anyway I left the bakery absolutely devastated. Since we had two small cakes that wouldn't be enough, I had to stop at giant to purchase another cake so I could serve all my guests. Would not recommend.

    Searched everywhere to try to find this very specific chocolate peanut butter cake that we used to have as kids, turns out this place was THE place!!! The cake was amazing as it always is and used to be! 10/10 recommend ordering anything from them!

    Sorry sampled it before I took the picture.  Apricot Danish. Yum.

    First time visit today. Service and people were so friendly. We talked like we knew them many years. The donuts are phenomenal-so Good. The icing is so good and not over powering sweet. Perfect. Will be back. The Apricot danish was also very very good. Can't wait to try their cakes.

    We were in the area camping and celebrating my Brother's birthday. I contacted their shop on…read moreFacebook messenger and was able to have his cake ordered for the following week. The cake was made the way I asked and was very fairly priced. Everyone was so helpful both online ordering and at the store when we picked it up. We ended up grabbing some freshly made kiffles while there too. Cute shop to look around or sit at.

    While driving through the back routes in PA, came across this very cute little bakery ad decided to…read moregive it a try as I needed some sugar for another four hours of driving. The place is in a small strip mall, next to a gas station and a pizza place and had a board outside advertising their lunch. Walking in I was drawn to the setting of the place as it is very welcoming, minimal display and a decent sitting area. The lady at the counter recommended everything on the menu, but when I told her I was looking for something very sweet, she guided me to "The Persian", which is a donut filled with creme and other goodies and to the "Salted Caramel Bar", which was the largest brownie I had seen. For extra measures I went ahead and bought a White Cupcake as well and started my adventure by finishing that one first. The White was very well made, light to the eating and wasn't too sweet either. The real treat however was the Salted Caramel Bar as just after one bite, I was a full convert to becoming their fan right there and then. Not only is it huge, but there is plenty of very sweet and amazing caramel inside which oozes out as you eat through it. After discovering my new love interest in the brownie, I stood up to go meet the owner of the bakery. She shared that she and her sister had started this place and it was still relatively new. I complimented them for their artistry and asked them to be on Yelp, as that is the only place I get my recommendations. I drove home after buying another bar and kept it in the trunk so I do not have easy access to it. This place is far from me, but I will find any excuse to drive to that area to pick some of those brownies and The Persian. Well done ladies, you have a fan in Connecticut!

    Edit: To answer the owner's comments, we gave some the cake away to a relative, hoping they would…read moreenjoy 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!

    I stumbled onto Suzi Cakes after having to pivot unexpectedly from a bad experience trying to order…read morefrom 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!
