    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.

    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!

    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 wedding venue works closely with Bovella's so we used them for our cake. The tasting was fun and very laid back. The decorator was open to our design ideas and the finished product was beautiful and delicious! Definitely recommend them.

    When we found out Bovellas was included in our venue package, we couldn't believe it. We though we were going to be stuck with the dry, icky wedding cakes you usually get from places like Palermos, but instead we got our favorite bakery. Not only was the cake amazing, but we had people telling us left and right that it was the best wedding cake they had ever had. We almost ran out of cake because of so many people asking the waitstaff for seconds. If you want good cake, and you have a choice, you should use this bakery.

    I didn't work directly with Bovella's as my venue made those arrangements for me. However, I provided my venue with a picture of what I liked and the day of my wedding I was beyond ecstatic to see Bovella's version of it. It was amazingly beautiful and as whimsical as I had hoped for. My guests all loved it and said that the cake was delicious. We chose yellow cake with raspberry and fudge filling with a buttercream icing. Yum!

    We had a vision in mind for our wedding cake.....when meeting with Bobby he brought that vision to life. He made us feel at ease in our initial conversation and we didn't think twice about the cake being perfect! Bobby even called the night before saying he thought something would look even better, and we were on board about letting him tweak the cake. When we saw it the next day, it was gorgeous!!! Not only did it look gorgeous, but it tasted phenomenal! Also, it was my grams 100th birthday, and he provided us with a cake for her as well! We were able to sing Happy Birthday to her with a perfect cake! We cant thank Bovella's enough!!!!

    Bovella's Bakery went above and beyond to create the wedding cake of our dreams. They were recommended to us by our venue, and we are so happy that we used them. For our tasting, they presented a ton of different options, and were flexible in helping us choose and create a design that we loved. Our guests were blown away by the beauty of the cake design, and the flavor of the cake as well. We will be using them again for any upcoming events, and we would absolutely recommend, 5/5 stars!

    Our wedding cake was a dream come true!!! Bovellas Pastrie Shoppe honored all of our requests. We had a very particular cake in mind. A traditional wedding cake but we wanted and needed a cake that was traditional white but also chocolate,we brought our ideas to Bobby and he produced the best cake we have ever seen or eaten. 5 tier half traditional white half chocolate with chocolate covered strawberries on each tier. Our guests could not stop talking about and taking pictures of our wedding cake.
    Thank you for making our wedding day SO perfect!

    Without a doubt 5 stars! Bovella's was so flexible with our tasting and met all of our requests for both our wedding cake and our surprise groom's cake. We received SO many compliments on the taste of the cake as well as the appearance. Many of our guests told us it was the best wedding cake they have ever tasted....we agree!

    Our wedding cake was from Bovella's. We had a very short time for the wedding cake, but Bobby really made it happen. Cake was BEAUTIFUL and DELICIOUS beyond my expectations. If you are looking for GREAT experience and that too NOT overpriced, I would definitely recommend you talking to Bovella's !!

    My venue worked with Bovella's to provide my wedding cake for my wedding on 9/20/2015. At first, I was nervous because I was unsure if they would be able to make the cake how I want and I was a little underwhelmed by the cake tasting with not having many options to choose from. However, Bobby exceeded my expectations and did an amazing job. He was very nice, took off the extra fee for the filling we wanted, and best of all our cake came out beautiful! It looked like a cake I would see in magazines and it tasted even better. It is not often that you hear guest discussing how amazing the cake tasted. I was able to taste it the next day and it was just as amazing as my guest told me. I am so happy I did not choose another vendor to make my cake.

    Bovella’s did an amazing job with our wedding cake! We met with Bobby who is the pastry chef during our tasting. He was so helpful and recommended the best fillings. My guests are still raving about our wedding cake and how delicious it tasted. I would highly recommend Bovella’s to future brides and grooms. They will not disappoint you!

    Our wedding venue used Bovella's to make our wedding cake. It was beautiful and delicious. The staff was helpful and enthusiastic during our tasting. Our cake came out just as we imagined it and the feedback from our guests was overwhelming. We would recommend Bovella's and plan to sample their other pastries.

    Bovella's has made my cake for every event since my christening, so I knew they'd be making my wedding cake too. They never disappoint. It was an Italian rum cake with extra rum, decorated traditionally all in white as I wanted (they can do trendy too), with our own Royal Doulton figurine on top. We didn't save the top layer (who wants stale frozen cake?) - instead Bovella's promised us a free small cake on the house on our first anniversary! We also ordered trays of Italian cookies to put on every table, so that our guests would have something to nibble during the hours between entree and cake.
