Beautiful!

Our cake was included in our venues wedding package and after trying out a few bakeries, we went with bovella’s. They had so many options to choose from and made our design idea come to life wonderfully.

Amazing Cake

Having Bovella's as my neighborhood bakery I knew they had to provide my wedding cake - specifically, their rainbow cookie cake. I cannot describe how seamless the process was and how perfect the cake ended up being!! It was a dream working with them. They also provided the challah which was a hit.

Funfetti Wedding Cake Dream

I grew up loving Bovella's cookies knowing that they HAD to do my wedding cake. We tried other bakeries Funfetti cake and fudge filling, but NOTHING compared to Bovella's. The cake decor is exactly what I dreamed of with fun confetti sprinkles. Look no further for a cake!

Beautiful and Delicious!

We used Bovella's for our wedding cake in June 2019. The cake was included as part of our package with Clarks Landing, but we could not have been happier with how the cake turned out! I've had a lot of mediocre wedding cake, but once we went to the tasting, I knew that that would not be the case for our cake. We chose a vanilla cake with layers of cream cheese and chocolate fudge filling and it was so incredible! This definitely did not taste like dry "wedding cake." We received many compliments on how good the cake tasted! I showed Bobby a picture of what I had in mind, and he fully captured my vision and the cake was beautiful.

The team ar Bovella's in Moutainside are great! This is the only bakery my venue The Channel Club in Monmouth Beach uses, and I understand why. Fred has been using the same bakery for over 35 years now, and they proved themselves again at my wedding on 9/23/18. The guests said my cake tastes amazing, I couldn't eat it bc it wasn't gluten free, but they made me my own small GF cake so my husband could feed me a bite at our wedding. It was delicious it even had the same filling as our big cake! And they made 2 so I could eat another one for breakfast the next morning before our honeymoon! My cake was beautiful and they executed it well! When they delivered they cake to my venue. Fred came to get my to show me how he would fix the flowers and decorate it as I wanted.

The team at Bovella's made the most amazing cake for our wedding. They listened to all of our requests and not only did it look fantastic, but it tasted fantastic as well! The cake looked stunning in photos and you could tell all the extra detail and effort they put into their work. Not to mention, after following their instructions for preserving and freezing the top tier, the cake actually tasted just as amazing on our first anniversary! Highly recommend - they are the best!

Our venue (Clark’s Landing) utilized Bovella’s for their wedding cakes. EVERYONE LOVE THE CAKE AND DESIGN!
We received so many compliments. So, I had to change the cake tasting a few times to accommodate my crazy schedule. They were so easy to work with. The cake tasting was fun, so many options. The cake was beautiful. The gentleman who was making our cake personally came out to discuss what we wanted. We were very simple in our needs. We looked through a few photo albums he had on hand of his work, and actually choose one he did. I think that was our best bet, because we knew he could do it, and we knew what it looked like. THANK YOU FOR A BEAUTIFUL CAKE!
