    Most delicious cake I’ve ever had

    My husband does not like cake and he could not get enough of this cake. Price was fair and people were so kind. They will follow your vision to a tee so have all your ideas and decorations ready. We wanted simple and were worried more about flavor and boy did they deliver flavor!!

    Amazing cake!

    The cake tasting was such a fun experience here! The cake was delicious and all guests raved about it! The design came out amazing and just as I imagined. The bakery was included with my venue and I'm so glad it was!!! Yummy!

    Most delicious cake!

    I had an idea in mind of what I wanted, which changed when I found out they don't do fondant cakes. But they were still able to do the colors I wanted, the ombre design, and the most delicious cake! We had one layer of chocolate cake and one layer of confetti cake (which is my absolute favorite). It was so personalized and no fondant meant everyone got to enjoy every last bit of cake on their plate! This bakery is part of wedding traditions in my family and they were so flexible, affordable, and easy to work with.

    Excellent service and great taste!

    Petonito's was FANTASTIC!! We booked Petonito's as part of a package with our venue and it was so nice having a vendor that was so familiar with our venue. Our cake was made exactly how we had envisioned and the staff was so kind (they gave us complimentary cookies when we booked!). We had two different flavors in our cake and our guests really loved both! Additionally, we had bought two birthday cakes because we had a couple of birthdays at our wedding and those were also beautiful and special. The cakes were great and the service was attentive; I would highly recommend Petonito's!

    Delicious and beautiful

    Upon seeing our wedding cake for the first time, I was incredibly pleased to see how beautiful it looked. From the purple ribbon wrapped around the bottom layers to the white roses scattered throughout, it was stunning. Once we opened up the cake, the funfetti cake and strawberry filling took it over the top! Thank you for a delicious addition to our wedding day!

    We held our wedding at Amarante's Sea Cliff. The package there includes a wedding cake from Petonito's Pastry Shop. So we went to Petonito's Pastry Shop to pick a flavor. Mark was very nice and helpful. He let us try five different flavors which were actually all very impressive. After quite a discussion, we narrowed down to two flavors and Mark offered to make the two flavors separately into the three tiers of the cake. This was very helpful because our guests could choose the one that they prefer. Our guests enjoyed the cake very much! The design of the cake was also wonderful! It looks very elegant in our photos.

    Our cake was beautiful - the "vision" we had for our wedding cake was interpreted perfectly. We barely ate any because we were so busy dancing, but our guests raved about how delicious it was! We will, for sure, be ordering cakes for our "life events" in the future. Thanks for making our dream cake!

    From the minute we met Mark we knew Petonito's was our decision. We loved how traditional he was & how it is a family owned business. It truly felt like he cared about every person that came in his pastry shop. He let us taste several cakes and fillings. Let me tell you, it was hard to choose! Mark and Adrianna made the process so easy & ensured us everything would look beautiful. LET ME TELL YOU, they were right! Not only was the cake gorgeous, we got endless compliments on how delicious our cake was (White cake with strawberry mouse filling for those wondering). We were able to rent out their cake stand, and it was definitely one of our best decisions. The cake was prettier than I could have ever dreamed. One of my best vendor choices! Thank you Petonito's for your beautiful and delicious work. I would highly recommend.

    We had the pleasure of working with Mark, and the whole experience was absolutely perfect! He was open to customizing our cake, even though it was included with our reception venue. It was absolutely stunning, and tasted even more delicious!

    Cake was beautiful and tasted delicious! I had real flowers added to the cake, cascading down and it was just as I imagined it. The only thing I wanted to change was to only have dots for design ( no swirls). I called 3 days before my wedding to change it but it turned out my cake had already been made and decorated. So just know exactly what you want or call at least a week in advance to make any changes.

    Petonito's made mine and my husband's wedding cake. It looked gorgeous and tasted amazing! Before going for our initial tasting, we went to a different cake company and had a very poor experience with them. After leaving this company, we decided to take a chance and show up at Petonito's unannounced expecting to be told we would need to make an appointment. To our surprise, they sat down with us right away and gave us a cake tasting! Everything was delicious and we booked with them right away. The entire staff was so friendly and the cake came out perfect!

    Petonito's was absolutely fabulous! Mark was so nice and welcoming when we went to meet him for the first time. I gave them a picture of my cake and they replicated it perfectly. I was so pleased and excited with the final product when I saw it on my wedding day. Not only was the cake beautiful, but it tasted amazing as well! Everyone was raving about how good the cake was. Thank you Petonito's for the fabulous job!!

    Petonito's made our wedding cake and I cannot tell you how beautiful and delicious it was! We met with Mark the owner on two occasions and he was so friendly and easy to work with! We sampled many cake flavors and fillings, they were all delicious! I also fell in love with a five tier wedding cake that I saw in a bridal magazine I brought a picture of it to Mark and he replicated it beautifully ! My cake looked like it was literally out of a bridal magazine, just perfect! When I walked into my reception and saw it I got emotional I was not expecting such an amazing cake but Mark pulled it off beautifully! I would highly recommend Petonito's!!

    Can't say enough about owner Mark. He was very accommodating since we were planning our wedding from out of state, allowing us to do a tasting late on Thursday for a Sunday wedding. When we called weeks later to confirm the tasting appointment, he remembered exactly who we were. He even ran out to our car when we forgot our receipt after the tasting. My wife and I both have different ideas of what an ideal cake should taste like, so I was pleasantly surprised that we both loved the same cake. Guests loved it too! The cake was beautifully decorated, moist, and delicious. Thanks Petonito's!! P.S.- we are both wishing there was some cake left right now because this review is making us hungry :)

    So for my wedding I didn't want a typical wedding cake, because come on, who has cakes anymore. So I went to Petonito's for a cannoli cake, and no, not a cake that tasted like cannoli, but an actually 2 food by 1 foot cannoli, that was filled with mini cannolis. The presentation was so beautiful and very unique. The cake was only something like $70 and i had lots of other small cookie and desserts as well. It was a very affordable and delicious way to have a fun wedding cake.

    The cake was awesome. JUST what we asked for. We wanted ALL white, which is not a normal request but it looked perfect with our cake topper & exactly what we asked for! I want to sincerely thank Petinitos from the bottom of my heart for fulfilling our request as asked, for being so sweet & helpful. The owner is amazing & very organized. I was extremely happy to find them. The cake tasted amazing as well!
