Highly recommend!

Colozza’s Bakery was awesome to work with for our wedding! Joan is wonderful as she is knowledgeable, kind, and always greets us with a smile. The cake itself was beautifully decorated, tasted amazing, and exceeded our expectations! We ordered the Raspberry Truffle cake and received so many compliments from our guests. We also ordered pastry trays which were all delicious and a hit at the reception! Another plus was that we were able to rent a beautiful antique cake stand from the bakery as well! Highly recommend!

Beast of a Cake

Angelo was such a pleasure working with. Between having to modify our first wedding day due to covid and changing it last minute to just be a smaller cake, than have our bigger cake be with our reception a year later was amazing by him. We froze our initial cake and most people say it tastes bad. But when we had it was wonderful still and mad me want to eat more. the pricing compared to everywhere else is the best. I have been coming here since i can remember with my grandma. Hands down the best Bakery,

Delicious cake and desserts!

We used Colozza’s Bakery for our wedding on 10/10/2020 for our wedding cake and assorted pastry trays. Colozza’s made ordering our wedding cake and pastry trays an easy wedding task. The cake came out beautifully and, more importantly, was absolutely delicious, fresh and moist. Everyone who had cake raved about how good it tasted. The pastry trays provided a tasty delicious selection of desserts for our guests. We received many comments about how great the cake and desserts were. We highly recommend Colozza’s Bakery!

Excellent unique cake!

We absolutely loved working with Colozza's bakery on our wedding cake. We had initially narrowed our search utilizing positive online reviews. And after doing tastings at several places, we were hooked on their not-overly-sweet buttercream icing and were impressed by the selection of flavors that they could offer. The cake itself was very moist as well - surprisingly hard to find at a lot of places. A great perk was being able to design it ourselves with pictures and input at the meetings. They also allowed us to mix and match flavors from their menu. (Other cake vendors were much more restrictive on that front.) Their flavors even include the ability to soak the cake in different liqueurs. A must if you are in the need for a unique wedding cake. Joan and Angelo were amazing to work with from the very beginning. From emails to in-person interactions, they made the whole process easy for us. Their cake pricing is very fair considering the quality, the range of flavors, and ability to customize. Many of our wedding guests told us that ours was the best wedding cake they have had in a long time. Five stars for sure!

My husband and I were so pleased with Colozza’s Bakery. We met with the cake baker once to discuss our plans for our wedding and provided a sketch that illustrated the design we initially wanted for our cake. During our follow up, which was one month prior to the wedding, we decided to go with a different cake design and provided the baker with a photo. The baker absolutely exceeded our expectations. Not only did they implement the exact design, but they made one of the best tasting cakes we’d ever had. Our guests just raved about our wedding cake and still continue to say how tasty it was. We couldn’t have asked for a better cake for our wedding! The process was handled so efficiently and smooth, considering my husband and I were planning our wedding remotely. I would absolutely recommend this cake baker to others looking for a good and affordable wedding cake.

My husband and I are so happy we went with Colozza's for our wedding cake. We had a beautiful and delicious Cassata cake that our guest are still raving about. Angelo and his wife are a delight to work with. Great value, professional and amazing tasting cakes.

Colozza's made the cake for our wedding and even the DJ (who is at weddings all the time) took a picture of how beautiful it was! They have tons of demo cakes set up in the bakery instead of just pictures and you're able to pick and choose between bits of each to create your perfect custom cake. The staff are super easy to work with and will make you feel like a million bucks. In addition to all that IT WAS DELICIOUS.


NOTE: I ended up chipping a tooth on a non-edible rhinestone on the cake. However, this was not the fault of the bakery but the reception venue as Colozza's told them to remove the stones before serving which the venue did not.

Cake looked and tasted amazing. Angelo and his wife were always so pleasant and helpful with us while designing our wedding cake. It was a little harder for us and my husband and I didn't have the same taste in cakes. I wanted more modern where he wanted more old fashioned. His grandfather was a baker for Hough Bakeries and he wanted a cake that he remembers his grandfather baking. So with the help of Joan and multiple trips there, we were able to come up with a cake that was a little bit of both of us.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
