Wedding Cake
The cake was delicious, but having a wedding cake is way more than that. The cake didn't look like anything we discussed with Jasper. I wanted silver snowflakes all over the cake and there was none to be found. It was very plain with no snowflakes. Also, the top of the cake was supposed to be raised and flowers in between. It was not raised and there were no flowers. I was very disappointed and I will never recommend this baker to anyone.

We had a very simple cake (white cake with white frosting), but don't let that fool you - the taste was out of this world. Gasper even added a small amount of "cafe" coloring so our icing wasn't stark white. The result was simple, elegant, and classy. We took some left over cake home with us and ate every last bit. Our guests have gone on and on about how good the cake was. Only drawback is they don't offer a complimentary anniversary cake one-year later.
Thanks for a great experience - my husband and I will be back!

They specialize in European Torte cakes. Not your typical bland wedding cake. Wonderful flavors, light and rich at the same time. We had them tint the base of the cake, and it turned out brown not campaign. Be careful of that.

Everyone loved the cake! We went with their pineapple mandarin orange torte and it was AMAZING! Well worth your time to go in and taste their products. We are already looking forward to our free one year anniversary cake. :)

Gasper made such a beautiful cake for me. Absolutely breath taking. Still getting comments on how beautiful the cake was. They are extremely friendly inside of the bakery and Gasper is so welcoming. He will do whatever you want. We chose to do the European Tort- raspberry. Unbelievable taste, so light and flavorfull. Could not have been more perfect! Go get a sample...you will know what I am talking about! A MUST HAVE!!!

When my husband and I went in to get an idea of what we wanted for our wedding cake, we hit a bit of a snag. We planned our wedding from out of state, so when we came in to town for our appointment with Gasper we were unaware that a tornado had come through the area the night before. Even though Militelo's didn't have any power in their shop, they didn't cancel our appointment. Gasper had to go to a friend's bakery to get some cakes underway for his other weekend weddings, and left us to browse catalogs while he ran to the other bakery to get things started over there. When we finally sat down, we were able to taste some samples and make a decision on what flavor and style cake we wanted. We were able to get just what we envisioned for a fraction of the cost of other bakeries.

Our wedding cake was from Militelos and it was delicious!! We really liked working with Gasper. You can tell he is passionate about cake!! He does try to push the European torte cake, which is delicious. However, we decided that our families would like a regular cake with buttercream frosting better and he had no problem making this for us. When we got to the hall, we were blown away with how beautiful the cake was displayed! I had provided some fabric, votives and fall leaves and Gasper made them look beautiful around the cake. We are very satisfied with the cake and the customer service we received from this bakery.

The main issue, which seems to be the main issue for most people, was that he wasn't really willing to do what I wanted to do. I gave him 2 or 3 ideas for what I wanted the cake to look like, all pretty simple (no crazy intricate details) and he came up with different reasons for why he couldn't do them. Then he called me a week before & tried to tell me that what I wanted him to do with the cake wasn't going to look good (even though it looked great in all the pictures i've seen of it done that way) I ended up with a very basic looking cake. It tasted excellent and looked nice, but it just wasn't what I wanted.

I enjoyed working with Gasper, and our cake looked fantastic. We tasted tons of cakes, and Militello's was the first that really tasted like dessert-- it is delicious. I think that they have their system down to a T, so they're pretty reliable.
I was discouraged from using more than 1 cake flavor and felt I had to push to get what I wanted. The employees in the bakery didn't seem to get along particularly well with the boss. The place looks a little dated, but ultimately the cakes they put out are excellent.

Militello's did a wonderful job with the wedding cake. They are a little inflexible but the cake was awesome! Very moist and not heavy!

There is no doubt our cake was delicious - we had a pineapple orange mandarin torte cake that was soooo delicious and moist! As soon as we tasted it we had to have it. It looked great, too. The great thing about this baker is that he uses whip cream for frosting, which he can make look like fondant, but it tastes much better than fondant.
I wasn't quite as thrilled about their customer service, though. They are very, very particular about a lot of things and a lot of things they require of you. I also heard some of my other vendors had a hard time dealing with him, and he also left business cards on the cake table. I think that's completely unprofessional and totally tacky, but my venue took them off before guests arrived. So, if you want a fantastic cake, this is a great place to get it from. My concerns were certainly not enough to ruin the experience, and I would still recommend them to others.

Cake was delicious and looked beautiful. Seemed there was only one cake style you could really do there, so if you wanted to have your own say in how it looked, that was not the place. Regardless, I was thrilled with how beautiful it turned out.

The quality was absolutely fabulous! The only thing was that my cake was not an outdoor summer time kind of cake... it sweltered, but the conditions were a bit abnormal. The level of service was topped by none, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Not to mention it was absolutely delicious!!!

We opted for the Mandarin Pineapple Orange torte type cake and it was phenomenal. The cake decorations (scrolling etc) were beautiful and Gasper is the nicest man to work with. We could not have dreamed of a more tasty and beautiful cake.

The cake was beautiful and tasted fabulous. I remember being pleasantly surprised how great it tasted when I had my first bite!
They spent quite a bit of time with me helping me decide what I wanted and did not get offended when I wanted something simple and not to fancy. They did take their work very seriously and wanted to make sure everything looked beautiful for me. (I thought they were a little overly concerned about the display when I was not.)
