Wedding cake

Gambinos made the cake of my dreams. I planned my wedding from out of town and honestly have them little guidance. The three tiered cake was beyond stunning. The size of the cake honestly blew me away in a good way. The cake took up the whole table and was so tall. It made all the photos pop and tasted amazing. Good price point and elegant design. Very tasty. Recommend this New Orleans staple highly.

Gambino's Bakeries is wonderful! We have one in Lafayette, LA which provides not only wedding cakes, but custom creative cakes as well. Looking for a Groom's cake, try their Doberge cake with hand dipped strawberries - it's oh so good!
