Tastiest Cake (and the Groom Doesn't Even Like Cake)

Our venue had partnered with Palermo’s Bakery and we received a giant tasting box with all of their flavors to take home. The toughest part was narrowing down to two amongst so many great options! After that, we met virtually with Michelle to discuss our vision and everything else was handled by Palermo’s.

Bradford Estate 4 tier 2 flavors Wedding Cake

We had the absolute best experience with Palermo Bakery for our wedding cake! From the very beginning, their team was so easy to work with—responsive, detail-oriented, and genuinely excited to bring our vision to life.
We chose a four-tier cake with two flavors—mango mousse and cookies & cream—and it was a huge hit. Not only was the cake beautifully designed and exactly what we envisioned, but it also tasted incredible. It’s rare to find a bakery that nails both presentation and flavor so perfectly, and Palermo truly delivered on both.
Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious it was (we even had people going back for seconds!). Everything was executed flawlessly, and it was one of the standout elements of our wedding.
Highly recommend Palermo Bakery to any couple looking for a stunning and delicious wedding cake!

Beautiful & Delicious

If you have a sweet tooth, I highly recommend Palermo’s for your wedding cake! We received a cake tasting box from Palermo’s during our venue’s food tasting and absolutely loved the variety of flavors. Working our way through the box was our favorite part of wedding planning! For our wedding cake, we chose a dark chocolate cake with chocolate pudding and a vanilla cake with cannoli cream. Our cake was beautiful, fresh, and delicious! So many of our guests are still raving about it!

Beautiful Cake

My husband and I had our wedding last week and Palermos made our cake! We worked with leighann, and she was so kind and helpful, she even got our pearls on the cake! It was so elegant and beautiful the way I had envisioned it, and it tasted even better! We had a whole cake tasting which was so much fun and all the flavors were very good! I highly recommend getting your wedding cake from them, its delicious and the staff is very nice! They did great!

Beautiful cake!

Palermo made our wedding cake and it was PERFECT!!! From the 16 flavors to choose from to seeing our cake rolled out on our wedding day fully decorated, the experience was everything we wanted and more! We had the chocolate pudding flavor and added the candy pearls. HIGHLY RECOMMEND BOTH!!! Also - ask for Leighann by name, she was a pleasure to work with!
