    Guests were having second slices of cake! That's how good it was. Moist and rich yet still fluffy. Best part was that the cake appeared smooth and sleek on the outside without fondant! It held up near a sunny window on a summer day too. It was so sweet that the cake designers humored me with the exact car from fast and furious when I told them the theme was the movies themselves.

    Perfection!!

    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!

So get anything fresh, like made to order cakes or things you see come out right when you're there. Otherwise you run the risk of getting old stuff, which sucks that they don't manage that at all. On a Sunday afternoon lines moved quickly and we were able to find seats. This is a cute cafe that offers plenty of savory items and lunches, plus drinks like matcha, cakes, pastries and cookies. There is also a bathroom! The women behind the counter were all nice and patient with my questions, they also kept the line moving and were quick. I had high hopes for the Alfajores as this is an Argentinian bakery but unfortunately the ones given to me were stale. The cookie was very hard. Also the Dulce de leche was too sweet and burnt tasting to me. I also got a chocolate covered one and the cookie in that was also hard and dry. The strawberry croissant was amazing. Never had anything like that before. Not too sweet and very flaky. It has a ribbon of red on the outside which gives it a unique look. I would love to come back and try savory items. I'll continue to stick with the cakes and croissants for desert and make sure it's fresh!

I was initially lured in by the good Yelp reviews. I liked that I could do everything online, I had a particular vision for what I wanted my birthday cake to look like and they communicated with me via email that could make my vision come true. I had a birthday celebration at a restaurant, which I asked The Evercake to have delivered directly to the restaurant. The delivery was smooth and the restaurant had the cake before I even got there. The cake was very cute and did look like what I had pictured. But...what I majorly disliked was the actual taste of the cake and being misled about what the contents of the cake would be. I selected the strawberry shortcake option for my cake and what I got was not what I thought it would be. I think it's quite normal for a strawberry shortcake to have like...real strawberries in between the layers. My cake didn't really have that, and if it did it was hidden in all the strawberry jam that there instead. I was not a fan of the cake texture too and the cream outside of the cake. Overall I felt so sad that I was feeding this to my friends and I told them that they didn't have to finish it because I wasn't going to either. So embarrassing :( Would you believe that this flop of a cake was nearly $200? And that's after the 10% coupon. I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1 because it wasn't completely bad, but the cake not tasting good was the biggest thing for me. I would have preferred it the other way around at least, like if the service was so bad but the cake tasted amazing, but unfortunately that was not the case for me. After digging through the reviews some more, I found that this happened to another customer as well. I wish I had seen their review before ordering a "strawberry" shortcake from here lol dang

Decent flavor, but I think I like the full size cupcakes as a better texture and frosting ratio in my opinion. Service was great through Ubereats even if it took awhile for my order to be prepared, then picked up. Nothing like cupcakes in your hotel room for the perfect ambiance. I'd definitely return and recommend, though not the mini assorted as I feel the full size is better in terms of texture and flavor.
