    Perfection!!
    Julie B.

    I wanted an old-school shower cake for my daughter's small intimate gathering at her apartment. I wanted a cake that would wow and impress the guests. It was a delight to communicate with Jennifer from start to finish. I wanted red velvet and chocolate cake with cream cheese filling. This cake blew EVERYONE away, as I knew it would! They raved about moistness and flavor of the cake. They marveled at the abundance of phenomenal flowers and the magical tiny details like the butterflies and the pearls. Pure artistry. Everything, including packaging and delivery, was PERFECTION. One of the few exceptional purchases in my lifetime. Jennifer and her team will execute a cake worthy of your spectacular event.

    Had a custom cake made for a baby shower and it was absolutely amazing. We sent them a photo of what we wanted and they nailed it, and it was so delicious!!

    We've been going to Hudson Cakery for custom cakes over the last 2 years and they are absolutely exceptional! The cakes have turned out exactly, if not better than the inspo pics and also, they are delicious!! On top of that, everyone is very responsive to all my requests and questions. They are the best!!

    We recently celebrated my father's 90th birthday. Because he has just written a book on the future of nuclear power, we asked The Hudson Cakery to make a cake in the shape of a nuclear power plant. They did an outstanding job. Not only did the cake look fantastic, but everyone said it was delicious as well. Practically the entire thing was edible, even the smoke plumes coming out the top. The entire process of working with them was straight forward with great communication. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in the region looking to have a custom cake made for a special occasion.

    Delicious cake and excellent service for my daughter's July 2025 wedding. She ordered the banana nut flavor which everyone enjoyed!!!

    Absolutely thrilled with how beautiful this cake turned out for my daughter's 3rd birthday!! My daughter and her friends loved the mermaid and unicorn, and all the parents couldn't stop talking about how delicious the cake was! I've worked with Jennifer for several years now, and she is always such a joy to work with. I can't recommend her enough and will continue to rely on her to make my daughter's cake dreams come true year after year!

    Hudson Cakery knocked it out of the park! Ordered a graduation cake using an online example image and they produced an even better design. Very professional, friendly and responsive. I could not be happier with the end result. The cake was delicious and exactly what we were going for. Highly recommend!!!

    This is the third cake I have ordered from Hudson Cakery and not only are they all beautiful, they taste delicious. I looked through pictures on their website for this cake, and picked out various things I liked and they created the perfect cake. So many people commented at the party how beautiful and delicious the cake was. Highly recommend (but order in advance) and will be ordering from them again. Thank you Hudson Cakery!!

    My daughter ordered wedding cake and they matched pic exactly! Absolutely beautiful and tasted amazing! Easy to work, no problems At All. Definitely recommend.

    The four hot cocoa bombs - two peppermint and two chocolate.

    The Hudson Cakery is a private cake shop in Weehawken. They do not accept walk-ins so all my interactions with them (two purchases) have been via email and everything has gone smoothly and wonderfully. I've purchased their summer cookie decorating kit and also their hot cocoa bombs. I have not purchased a custom cake (yet) but all the pictures of their cakes are stunning! I hope to buy one soon. The summer cookie decorating kit was a super fun activity to do with my kids when we were inside on a hot summer day. We actually took part in a Virtual Yelp event where, Jennifer, the owner walked us through decorating each cookie with icing and different kinds of sprinkles. We also learned a lot about The Hudson Cakery which was a lot of fun! After following them on Instagram, I saw a post announcing they were selling hot cocoa bomb boxes. The box included four hot cocoa bombs (two peppermint and two chocolate, but you can substitute the peppermint with more chocolate if that's not your thing). I immediately jumped on the chance to purchase a box of these since I've seen them in action and desperately wanted some of my own. After emailing the bakery, I heard back from Jennifer. I set up a pick up time, paid via my phone, and it was as easy as that! Pick up is really easy... you just park right by the shop, give them a call, and someone runs outside to drop off the box to you. So simple! The best! I even forgot to pick up my bombs on the scheduled date, so I emailed Jennifer the next day in a panic and she said I could pick them up on that day. So accommodating! Thank you Jennifer! The hot cocoa bombs were so delicious! The best hot chocolate I've had in quite some time. The chocolate was decadent! The kids had a blast pouring the hot milk over the bombs and watching the marshmallows explode from inside the bomb. I highly recommend The Hudson Cakery for all your speciality bakery and cake needs!

    Beyond perfect!! My experience with Jennifer getting a quote and communicating what i wanted was great and super smooth. They were very easy to book with, super patient and communicative even though it was only ~1.5 or fewer weeks of notice. When the cake came i was stunned, they had recreated my reference with certain color changes PERFECTLY. Tasted even better than it looks, i WILL be ordering again!

    I ordered a cake for my daughter's first birthday. They could not have been easier to work with and made a cake even better than the inspiration photo I sent. It was the talk of the party!

There was a bit of a line, but it moved pretty quickly. I am boring, so I just ordered the plain vanilla cupcake, but it was just perfect. It was fresh and the cake itself was wonderful. We had a big party--everyone was happy, but particularly happy with the cookie dough and red velvet. Definitely worth a visit.

    So there is a lot to unpack from my visit to SoHo to pick up a cake from my sister. I woke up at…read more5pm and headed straight here from Queens and chose this place over 4 others close by in the area. I hadn't been here in years so when I pulled up I took a step back to take it all in, the cutesy interior which was clean and not too brightly lit. I checked out the cake prices and flavors and when I was sure of what I wanted I stepped up to the counter and began to take pictures bc there were like 4 attendants and I waited for one to engage with me. A young man did he said are you ready to order I said yes and told him I wanted a strawberry shortcake slice $10 and a Brooklyn black out slice (also $10 and the actual reason I came). When he was boxing I took pictures and thought oh maybe I should switch to the hostess slice (out loud). Another attendant said sure, but then the first one pulled up with the boxes and I was like ok I'll just get a cupcake separate. Why I walk back to the cupcakes to choose and the young man starts helping someone new and I look him in the eye he then rushes over but again starts taking another customer. They were 3 customers in the store in total including me so why he didn't want to provide me service I do not know. But it made me so upset I was like wow am I really gonna spend this much money and this guy is being rude. I had to now get in line behind the 2 other patrons that came in after me. The attendant who rung me up tried to empathize and offered me a free $1 candle- it came from a cup of candle in front of the register and when he placed it on top of the box it rolled onto the counter and I said how many ppl touched that?? It's going in a cake someone is going to eat. I declined the candle, paid and probably will never return. Strawberry shortcake slice was a 6/10 tasted old Hostess cupcake 10/10 I inhaled it no crumbs Brooklyn blackout cake 15/10 moist, thick chocolate perfect. Now I'll tell you right now the birthday cake I got my sister was worth the $25 and change I paid for it. She liked it, I liked it, it made her happy- but the service made me frown I really didn't like it. Total rating 3.5

While the presentation was 10/10 across the board, the flavors ranged from "nostalgic perfection" to "a bit of a letdown." ​ ​Devil Dog (The Winner): This was by far my favorite. It was a trip down memory lane, perfectly capturing that nostalgic Hostess chocolate cupcake flavor I loved as a kid. ​Lemon Raspberry Meringue: Coming in a close second, this cupcake was bright, fruity, and incredibly fresh. It felt light and offered a great balance to the richer flavors in the box. ​Ube: This cupcake was stunning to look at. However, the flavor didn't quite live up to the exotic profile of a purple yam; it tasted like a traditional vanilla cupcake that just happened to be purple. Great for the aesthetic, but standard in taste. ​Hummingbird: This was the only real disappointment. I was expecting the signature tropical punch of pineapple, but it lacked that acidity. Instead, it felt more like a simple banana nut muffin with icing on top. ​Final Verdict: Overall, the experience was positive. The shop clearly has a talent for decor and nostalgia. I'd definitely return for the Devil Dog and the Lemon Raspberry, but I might skip the Hummingbird next time. Last Note: The woman working in the bakery was a bit rude and had an attitude and that alone will make me not com back no matter how good the cupcakes are.

So I whipped my bike around, and headed inside. The exterior of the store is small and cute. I loved seeing everything in the window. Great advertising. The name itself also made us giggle. There were a few others walking by and they had a giggle too. Clever for sure. Really gets people looking. Once inside there were two men working. I think it was close to closing because they were wrapping things up. But, they were willing to help us place our order and get us situated. They were kind and helpful. I opted for a chocolate base cupcake, red velvet, and funfetti. Funfetti was my favorite! The cake was moist and the icing was nice and sugary. I prefer a sugary icing. The chocolate cupcake was rich in flavor. I absolutely loved the cupcakes. Simple with a little pizazz. The cost was about $4+ for each cupcake. I think that is on point and pretty reasonable. It is comparable to other bakeries in NY and other states. I'd definitely return to grab some more on my next trip.

This bakery came up just a block and a half away and I knew I was going to swing by. My oldest niece and I walked over and the scent of the place was amazing when we stepped in. It's a quirky little shop, leaning into meme culture with a bunch of signs with hilarious phrases on them, and of course the desserts looked irresistible. My sister and her family are vegan, so we did scope that out before going, and they have a vegan and gluten-free chocolate chip cookie. It's huge! The dairy options are much more diverse... I ended up deciding on a s'mores cookie and sticky toffee banana cookie. Let's break them down: S'mores - it literally had chocolate bits, melty marshmallow in the middle, and it was covered in Golden Grahams... I haven't had those since I was a teenager!!! What a treat. Sticky toffee 'nana - banoffee is what I hear some people call it these days, but that's the kind of cookie that it was, and it was amazing. Vegan GF chocolate chip - I was excited to have an option for my sister and niece's, but we all agreed that it was rather plain. I tasted it after having my other cookies and I was like "that's it?" All in all they have a bunch of amazing options and I would return for my cookies, but I unfortunately could not recommend it to vegans, unless they get some other options that may end up better than those chocolate chip cookies.
