Ciao Bella Cakes

We had several bad experiences with different cake vendors before finding Stefanie and Ciao Bella Cakes. Stefanie was instantly likable, and we enjoyed the cake tasting that she set up for us. We brought images of cakes we liked, and agreed upon a design - a four-tiered square cake with buttercream icing (no fondant) and orange sugar flowers. Two tiers were white cake with lemon buttercream filling and two tiers were chocolate cake with mocha buttercream filling. The cake looked amazing, and - even more importantly - tasted amazing! I will certainly return to Stefanie for any special occasion cakes I need!

Stefanie was extremely responsive from my very first email. She was fun to work with and produced a fantastic product. Our cake arrived hours before the wedding, and I didn't have to worry about a thing. The cake was delicious and beautiful. Everyone raved about it!

Our wedding cake was the most delicious cake I've ever eaten!!! And the design was exactly what I described to Stefanie at our tasting. She's an incredible baker.

INCREDIBLE!!

It took me so long to settle on my baker (literally, we booked Stefanie less than 2 months before our wedding!) but something kept bringing me back to Ciao Bella Cakes' website. I just thought every cake looked perfect. After we met with Stefanie, and tried a few of her delicious flavors, I knew I had made the right choice. She sent me a drawing of what she had come up with for our cake, and I loved it. The day of the wedding, we got to see the cake before the ceremony, and it was PERFECT! It was EXACTLY like the drawing she sent me! We had chosen red velvet cake with vanilla buttercream and raspberry preserves, and chocolate truffle with chocolate buttercream. I love red velvet, but I actually preferred the chocolate truffle on the day of the wedding (luckily I got a piece of both!!). It tasted like heaven!! I would truly recommend Ciao Bella Cakes to anyone!!

Stephanie was a joy to work with. When i seen my cake on my wedding day it was exactly what i invisioned!! The cake was soo delicious also my friends and family were raving about how great it tasted. Will definently use Ciao Bella agian for other occassions!!

Of all the wedding vendors, Ciao Bella was the only vendor who took the intiative to contact me before the wedding! They were wonderful:)

Our wedding cake was beautiful and delicious. Stefanie was more than willing to work our design ideas into the final product.

The cake was absolutely gorgeous. Everyone commented on how beautiful it looked and delicious it tasted. People were happy to take the extra cake box home to indulge again. The flavor was chocolate with chocolate raspberry truffle filling. Yes, this was an upgrade filling, but it was worth it. : )

Our cake, besides being exactly what I wanted it to look like, was also VERY delicious! Stefanie was amazing to work with, and made sure that my cake was exactly what I had wanted. She also gave me great tips about what would work with what pertaining to my cake. I was able to pick from different designs that she drew up just for me after meeting with me to figure out what I was thinking and for a taste testing. All I had to do was meet with her ONCE, and then she emailed me my personal cake designs. Not only did she email me, but she emailed me quickly making it so easy!

Many people at my reception were asking where the cake was from because it was so delicious! What more can you want in your wedding cake, but for it to be beautiful AND delicious! I highly recommend Ciao Bella Cakes. You won't regret it!

Great to work with. Stefanie is a very 'sweet' person (no pun intended). The wedding cake was so delicious that I'm finding it hard to keep my daughter from attacking the top of the cake frozen for their first anniversary.

Ciao Bella Cakes are the best tasting wedding cakes out there. I first tasted their cakes when my brother got married. My Mom got the grooms cake there, and I was sold. It was so tasty and delicious! Stefanie is really nice and great to work with. She sat with my Mom and me and designed the cake along with our input. The cake was at a very reasonable price considering the quality and work that went into it. My guests loved it! I made sure I got a big piece and had time to eat it at my wedding, I also munched on it the next day bc it was so yummy. I would definitely recommend this cake to any bride, or anyone in general looking for a special event cake.

DELICIOUS! I am so bummed I couldn't eat more of my cake! Stefanie was so easy to work with in choosing our cake choices. Not only was it delicious but I had a picture of what I wanted and she replicated it PERFECTLY!! I am so happy we went with her.

Stefanie did a fantastic job on our wedding cake! The cake topper fell off of our cake and fell down the side before the ceremony started but Stefanie came back and fixed everything! The cake was perfect, and we had an unusual cake. It tasted great as well! I would definitely recommend her to a friend!

Stefanie was very flexible with her availability to meet up to go over flavors, and the cake turned out exactly as we had hoped! All of our guests had great things to say about the appearance and taste of the cake. My wife and I definitely recommend her!

Ciao Bella did an excellent job with our wedding cake. The tasting was fun and delicious, and the designs are beautiful. Stephanie was proactive in letting us know if we owed her any information, so we hardly had to think about the cake. And when it showed up on the wedding day, it was perfect and delicious!

Our wedding cake was exactly the look I wanted. When we met with Stefanie we brought pictures of designs we liked and she helped me create a perfect cake within our budget. The cake was delicious and beautiful. Stefanie was professional and always responded promptly to any questions we had. I highly recommend Ciao Bella for your wedding cake!

Stefanie at Ciao Bella cakes was wonderful to work with! She provided much professionalism as well as a tasty and beautiful product! We liked Stefanie's cake so much that we came back to her on our year anniversary to have her redo our top layer! Her prices are reasonable and her flexibility appreciated! Thanks Stefanie for such as great product and for being such an integral part of our special day!

Stefanie at Ciao Bella makes beautiful cakes that taste amazing!! We kept it pretty simple and she did not pressure us into any upgrades , which was great! I couldn't be happier with the way our wedding cake turned out and Stefanie was so easy to stay in contact with and answered emails promptly, I really did not have to think twice about my cake.. she made the process easy and worry free!!

I’m generally not a cake fan, but this cake was fantastic. We were married in August at Montrose Mansion (Villanova) and five months later, our friends and family still comment about how good the cake was and they wished they had taken a few more pieces home with them.

Stefanie was a pleasure to work with and really incorporated our ideas into a beautifully designed cake. We chose chocolate with alternating layers of chocolate buttercream icing and chocolate raspberry truffle icing. Really can’t say enough good things about the cake itself and Stefanie.

Many thanks,

Stefanie was great! Her cakes are AMAZING! We loved all of the samples and our wedding cake turned out better than we expected. All of our guests said how great the cake tasted as well as looked. We would recommend Stefanie to anyone!

We came to Ciao Bella 7 days before our wedding, after our initial baker crapped out on us and decided that they couldn't make the cake we wanted (after having the design for 2 months). Ciao Bella fit us in, gave us a tasting (the cake was SO GOOD - moist and delicious, we had such a hard time choosing flavors!), and was able to make the cake for us. It was absolutely gorgeous - when I saw it the day of, it actually took my breath away. Ciao Bella has an AMAZING decorator and baker - so talented, and I couldn't have been happier with the way things turned out.

Stefanie was wonderful to work with. She came up with 2 terrific designs based on our wants. The cake was absolutely perfect-better than we anticipated. And not only was the design great, the cake and fillings were incredible!!

Stephanie's cakes are not only beautiful but are delicious as well.
She will exceed your expectations!

My event was actually a Confirmation party. We presented Stefanie with a few theme ideas and then let her surprise us! She created a Classic Bass Guitar! She also did a special-request filling flavor. Everyone thought it was awesome, in every way!

Stefanie came to my house with samples for the cake tasting. This was such a nice treat at such a busy time. I provided Stefanie with a picture of how I wanted my cake to look. She did a great job. The cake was beautiful; it looked just like the picture. It didn�t just look good it was delicious. I even had a few guest complement the design of the cake. It was a pleasure working with Ciao Bella Cakes.

It was so difficult choosing the wedding cake at our tasting. Stefanie created eight different cakes. Each was presented so beautifully and each tasted wonderful! The chocolate raspberry truffle cake that we chose was mouth watering. Our quests complimented how moist and flavorful the cake was, not to mention that it looked like a masterpiece on the table at the Four Seasons in Philadelphia. I would highly recommend Stefanie, not only is she a talented baker, but a professional in every aspect of the business.

Ciao Bella Cakes made my daughter's wedding cake in April. Stephanie was wonderful to deal with and I would highly recommend her service. The samples were well presented at our home and every one of the samples was delicious. She returned our phone calls promptly and always had the time for any questions. The wedding cake was beautiful and everyone loved the appearance and the taste, sooo good!! When planning a wedding you want to make sure you don't have to worry about the vendors your dealing with and with Ciao Bella you will be in good hands. They will take good care of you and keep in touch with you right up to your wedding day. We sample many vendors but Ciao Bella was without question the best and the nicest! Good Luck!

Stefanie was great to work with. We were married in November Montrose Mansion (Villanova)and she incorporated my fall wedding themed vision perfectly. I didn't want the traditional white wedding cake. I've always loved the "topsy turvy Alice in Wonderland" cake style. She made a 4 tier topsy turvy cake covered in chocolate fondant with cascading shimmering leaves. My husband and I are big coffee fans so we chose vanilla cake with mocha buttercream icing. DELICIOUS DELICIOUS DELICIOUS!!!! We took our top layer home to save for our anniversary, but my family loved it so much that they ate it before it was frozen while we were on our honeymoon. My mom is planning on buying us a small cake to match what we had because of it for our first anniversary. Our guests were in awe of how great it looked and tasted and wanted to know where it came from. They are still talking about it. Thanks so much Stefanie!!! I will recommend you to anyone looking for an AMAZING cake.

We used Stefanie at Ciao Bella Cakes because she was the cake vendor included in my reception package. I could not have been happier working with her. Stefanie came up with several designs after our initial meeting for review. We were able to come up with a design that looked great and matched the decor of the wedding. We were able to alternate the tiers with different flavors to satisfy both the bride and groom's tastes. On the day of the wedding, the cake looked great and tasted even better. Stefanie responded to our wishes and was a pleasure to work with.

Simply fantastic! I loved my beautiful cake and even got to eat it! The cake designer matched our invitation look perfectly and the cake was delicious and looked amazing. I am so happy I went with Ciao Bella. From the consultation to the cake cutting, everything was perfect!

Ciao Bella was an excellent pick for a Bridal Shower I was throwing. Any idea I had they were able to do and improve to make a perfect cake. They were also able to stick to my budget and were honest about what was worth the money and what was not. Even when I had a mixup with the restaurant the party was being throw at- Ciao Bella waited for over an hour for me to direct them to another delivery place and waited to make sure the cake made it to my hands. It was service I would never have expected from anyone. And of course, the cake was incredible. I've thrown a lot of parties and ordered a lot of cakes but this one was beyond my expectations. The cake was moist and delicious and very fresh. The cookie favors were clearly made with the best ingredients also. Ciao Bella also made sure the smallest details were coordinated down to the icing combination and ribbon colors. It was a big hit at the party!

Our wedding cake was DELICIOUS! Stefanie designed and redesigned the cake to be exactly what we wanted.

Our guests very much enjoyed the wedding cake!

Talk about wonderful Cakes! We have shot many weddings where Ciao Bella was the cake vendor- they are Always beautiful, professionally down, and taste great! Stephanie is very creative and the love and care she takes with each cake shines through!

Stephanie at Ciao Bella Cakes is FABULOUS!! Her creativity and style are just out of this world! She's dedicated and so very determined to make sure that your idea of a dream cake becomes a reality! I HIGHLY suggest working with Ciao Bella Cakes! Stephanie is amazing!

Not only gorgeous, but absolutely delicious! Stef and the Ciao Bella crew know how to make a cake. As one of our preferred vendors, I would recommend Ciao Bella for any occasion. She can create anything from a lavish wedding cake that feeds 300 to a Phillies Hat Cake you might try to wear.

We've worked with Ciao Bella many times and their cakes are simply stunning. I recommend Ciao Bella to my brides all the time since meeting the owner at a bridal function.

Lovely lady who makes delicious original cakes. I was very impressed.

I've had the pleasure of working with Ciao Bella Cakes for a vendor shoot, and this girl is an absolute sweetheart. Her cakes are amazing, and full of detail. If you want a cake like no other, I definitely recommend using her.

Stefanie is down to earth, friendly and absolutely creative! I particularly love her attention to detail in her design and of course, most importantly, her cake is YUMMY!
Highly recommended!...

Ciao Bella Cakes has been an absolute delight to work with. Stefanie is extremely talented and really knows how to make a couple feel special! Every time one of my clients meets with her, I hear nothing but rave reviews about her, and her delicious cakes!

These cakes are truly amazing! Keep up the good work and I hope to see a Ciao Bella Cake at an upcoming event!!
