Gerardo's Italian Bakery

Our wedding cake was so tasty. We were able to have 3 layers and we loved that we could pick all of ouyr favorite selections. The cake testing was so good and we loved that we were able to take some home. We also ordered Italian pastries and those were delicious...a great way to have a dessert bar at our wedding.

Gerardo was so friendly and easy to work with... and his cakes are delicious!! We got the traditional Italian wedding cake with the cannoli and strawberry filling and it was amazing. I moved to Maryland while planning my wedding so my mother met with him for the design appointment and he made it so easy. The cake was beautiful and Gerardo granted me my one special request... a hidden Mickey on my cake!!!

they make the most delicious wedding cakes - and you can not beat the price!!!! For your one year anniversary they will recreate the top layer of your wedding cake - so much better than eating your top layer thats been sitting in the freezer for a year!

Is there anywhere else to get a wedding cake?!

I've long been a fan of Gerardo's cakes and pastries, so I knew it was where I wanted to get our wedding cake from. We met with Gerardo himself, who is delightful, to plan our cake. We were offered a HUGE sample cake with about 8 different slices of cake varieties to help us decide on a flavor, filling and frosting. We chose 3 flavors of cupcakes and a small cake topper on a round display stand. The price was half of what any other vendor charges and the quality superior!

They don't freeze their cakes, all are made fresh the day before. We actually met again with Gerardo a few weeks before the wedding for final choices. It was delivered to our venue and the display was beautiful. Our guests loved the choices they had with the different flavors and that they could have more than one!

The only challenge I found was the times Gerardo is available to meet with couples as they didn't always fit with my work schedule and weekend appointments are limited as is my weekend availability. In the end, it worked out just fine.

If you want excellent cake with excellent service at an unbeatable price, Gerardo's is the place!

Gerardo was great to work with! We felt so comfortable with him and he made the whole process SUPER easy!! He's amazing and makes the most delicious Italian wedding cakes!! Huge hit at our wedding!!! And, to top it all off, he was the best price around!!!

Gerado's made me a delicious wedding cake!

They made the process very easy and actually fun! We got to taste every flavor they made, (we chose traditional Italian wedding) and let us pick the exact design we wanted. Cake was DELICIOUS and we got many compliments from our guests.

As a bonus, we did''t have to freeze the top layer of our cake for our anniversary because they provide a free mini cake to us on our one year!

They are friendly, low-priced, and make beautifully delicious cake!

Highly recommended!!!

Our wedding cake was made by Gerardo's and we were very happy with it. All of our guests commented on how beautiful and delicious it was. They offer a wide variety of tasty fillings including cannoli filling. The price was reasonable. We would definitely recommend them to anyone.

My cake was a complete surprise, I had no idea what it would look like until the day, since I had chosen a hawaiian theme. It turned out beautiful, and although as the bride, I was so busy that I was only able to have a tiny piece, I had nothing but, positive comments about my cake from all of my guests. Very happy, and I can't wait until my anniversary so I can enjoy my free cake to celebrate!!

BEAUTIFUL!!!! Gerardo made our cake looks so pretty! It was exactly what I had pictured in my head. The best part is that he makes you a fresh top cake for your year anniversary. No need to save your top layer and freeze it!!! =) We had fresh flowers on our cake from French's... between the beatiful flowers and Gerado's cake... it was beautiful.

You CANNOT beat the taste, value and design package for a wedding cake from Gerardo’s Bakery! We could not believe how reasonable Gerardo is with his wedding cakes- they are delicious, and you can pretty much choose any kind of cake, filling or style for a really low rate per slice (we locked into 2011 prices which I believe were $2.75 per slice, with approximately $0.40 extra for mousse/filling per slice…so about $3.15 total per slice!). The cake was fantastic, and I usually don’t eat cake- I ate a ton of the samples we got when we did our cake tasting and the cake at our event! We got the Strawberry Ricotta (the classic Italian wedding cake flavor) for the top and bottom tiers of our cake, with the Raspberry Chambord for the middle layer- delicious. Gerardo is easy to work with- you can go in for your tasting a few months before the wedding, and then do a “final” meeting a month or so before (Gerardo worked with us to combine the two meetings because we were out of state). You can look through a big book that he has of design options, or bring in your own ideas- we were extremely pleased with our cake- a three tiered, ivory frosting, with blue ribbon and gerbera daisies all over- beautiful. Terrific value, for a wonderful product and extremely efficient service!

Gerardo Sarli of Gerardo's Italian Bakery is top notch. He doesn't charge a lot because he knows how much new business he'll get from a taste of his wedding cake. We hardly had any left because people were going back for seconds and thirds. The cake was beautiful and I couldn't wait to taste it! Now I'm counting the days until our 1st anniversary when Gerardo will give us a free top tier ( he says he offers it to brides and grooms so they won't have to freeze it). YUM!

We have loved this bakery for years and loved our cake. A++++

We were very happy with Gerardo's Bakery. Our cake was delicious and beautiful. Gerardo was very pleasant to work with and was willing to work with any budget, which was important to us. Our experience with Gerardo was great, as he had many pictures of cakes to choose from and gave a free tasting of the cake flavors. We picked our design and it came out perfect. Also, I was surprised to see a cake stand at my wedding which Gerardo gave us free of charge to use. It made such a difference and I'm so thankful to him for doing us this favor. We would definitely recommend Gerardo to others and use him again in the future! Thank you!

This place is a hidden gem. My florist recommended it to me. The price is way cheaper then anywhere else and the cake was delicious. I had so many people compliment me on the taste and design. They give you a fresh anniversary cake instead of keeping the top layer. Highly recommend

Our wedding cake was beautiful and delicious. The flowers were not included and thought for the price of the cake it should have been. I provided the flowers and cake decorations, and they did a beautiful job decorating the cake!! All our guest enjoyed the different Italian layers!

My husband and I met with Gerardo and were given multiple cake flavors to choose from, and they were all delicious. The flavor we decided to go with was a traditional Italian wedding cake that tasted fabulous. The cake looked beautiful and we couldn't have been more happy with it. The only problem was that Gerardo could be somewhat difficult to get a hold of, but he was very nice when we did speak with him.

Gerardo's Italian Bakery was recommended to us by several friends and their recommendations were spot on! Gerardo was the best value and the best tasting cake we could find. All cakes made fresh right before the wedding and the designs are beautiful.

My cake came out exactly like the picture i gave to Gerardo. Tasted great too!! Beautiful

Our wedding cake was beautiful and delicious. We meet with Mr. Gerardo twice to do a tasting and then to make our final design selection. We ordered a three tier round, white cake w/fresh strawberry filling, chocolate cake with mascarpone filling, and carrot cake with cream cheese filling. Each layer was absolutely delicious, moist and flavorful. The photo we gave him was matched perfectly and we were so happy on our wedding day!

The cake that we sampled was delicious even though I didn't get to try it at our wedding. Because of this, I'm really looking forward to our first anniversary when we get a fresh cake for me to eat! We had a little bit of trouble with communication about our cake but it showed up on time, everything was right and you can't beat the price!

The cake was delicious. We ordered three different flavors and are excited about getting our anniversary cake. We were very disappointed that they forgot to put our custom cake topper on. We spent $200 on them. Gerardo did reimburse us for the topper, which was very generous, but we had to fight with him a bit to get the cash instead of a $200 gift certificate to his bakeries. Other than that, he was a nice man and great to work with, but still would not recommend him for your wedding.

Cake was a low priority for us and we didn't want to spend a fortune on it. Our planner sent us a few recommendations and we thought the prices were ridiculous. She then found Gerardo's and couldn't believe the prices herself. We loved the tasting (how can cake be bad?) and didn't hesitate to book with them. Gerardo is great to work with and is a pleasure at the meetings. We wanted a very plain, chocolate cake with not a lot of design and it worked out with the toppers we had. We got a ton of compliments on it. We only had a small bite when we fed it to each other, but we had heard from people that there were strawberries inside the cake and we had requested no fruit inside. It didn't matter much afterwards to us, but if you're very picky, double-check with them, I guess. We were satisfied with it and it was delicious. We can't wait to enjoy the top tier next year!

Cake was very tasty.

My family has been going to Gerardo's for a while now, and they just did my wedding cake. It came out beautiful, we had a problem with our flower delivery and the lady who delivered the cake stayed longer than she intended to find flowers to put on the cake. The cake was delicious, fabulous service. I would recommend Gerardo's to anyone for anything.

YUM YUM YUM!!!! Those are the only words needed! We cannot wait to eat our freshly made top tier that he re-makes for us on our one year anniversary! LOVE THEM!!

Gerardo's was the vendor that came with my package at the hotel we booked for the reception. They did not limit any of my choices just becuase it was part of a package deal..."every bride should get the cake they want" was what they told me. Taste was phenominal and presentation was exactly what I wanted. It made for a beautiful picture!!

Incredible cake and incredible service. Gerardo was not only friendly but a pleasure to work with. He works quickly and efficiently so you don't have to worry about spending hours there which is nice for a bride like me who's always on-the-go. I was referred to this bakery for our wedding cake and would do so in return. Huge plus was that on your 1 year anniversary, they remake the top of you wedding cake FOR FREE! Very classy touch. Gerardo says, "No one should have to eat 1 year old frozen cake".

The cake was beautiful and very tasty! Gerardo's has many flavors including italian ones, our cake was tiramisu flavored. The price was great too, the cheapest we found yet the best tasting!

The cake was exactly what I wanted and we received alot of compliments on the flavor and taste of the wedding cake. Great job!

You can't beat Gerardo's prices. He was difficult to get a hold but he will deliver what he promises - a beautiful, delicious cake! A free anniversary cake is even thrown in!

i thought Gerardo's was overall very pleasant to deal with. I loved my cake and you can't beat his prices!

There was an amazing flavor to our cake.We loved the perfect size,design,and decoration.Gerardo's not only makes wonderful cakes but makes them affordable.

Wonderful. Cannot say enough. He matched the picture we gave them perfectly and the cake is yummmy :)

Not only was my cake beautiful, but all my guests are still raving about how tasty it was. Very affordable for the quality of cake you get! I'll be back for birthday cakes!!

Gerardo's was great! They were flexible and the cake tasted GREAT!!!

The cake was delicious and beautiful, can't wait to get my FRESH one on our anniversary!

very nice cake.. awsome personality very easy to work with tasted great!!

The meeting was rushed but my cake turned out lovely.

we chose to have a cheesecake for a wedding cake, and it was the best i ever had. it was beautiful! he was very reasonable in the price--in my oppinion he undercharged, but im not complaining :)

Yum YUm, and we didn't have to freeze the top layer- he gives you one just like your cake for free on your one year anniversary. Fresh, pretty, delicious and inexpensive as far as wedding cakes go.

Great bakery! Cake was delicious.. I picked strawberry and ricotta filling. Also, I went in with a picture of the wedding cake I wanted, and he duplicated it no problem.

BEST CAKE EVER!

Also, they bake a new top layer for your 1st anniversary!

I had my wedding done by this bakery. what a disaster. every time i called to confirm my cake gerardo was unavailable, i left countless messages and they finally returned it the day before. My cake not only arrived late, but it was slightly frozen. I was so embaressed, come to find out this happens more than u would think. I found out from a friend the cakes are made way in advance, and not by the owner like he says. The reason why he gives you a free anniversary top is because most bakeries don't charge for the top tier, but gerardo counts it as servings for your guests, so if you wanted to save the top, there wouldn't be any left, it would have been served. The free anniversary cake is a 6" cake that looks nothing like your original cake, and your lucky if it is even the same flavor.

the best cake I have ever tasted...it was tiramisu...I didn't even need to worry about making a cake budget because his prices were so reasonable...Gerardo makes all of the wedding cakes himself and meets with all of the brides 2 times before the big day and he knows his cakes! I almost forgot...Gerardo doesn't believe in anyone eating a cake that is a year old especially not one of his cakes so on your one year wedding anniversary he sends you an exact replica of your cake topper as an anniversary gift from him....so cool!

Gerardo worked with me personally to create the perfect cake for our wedding. He was attentive, creative, and very reasonably priced.

I chose a three-tier cake of traditional Italian white cake with a light cream frosting. I couldn't decide which filling I wanted so Gerardo let me have a different filling in each tier! I chose a design for the decoration of the cake and had to make changes to it at the last minute - Gerardo was completely flexible about the changes, mainly because the bakery makes all their cakes the day of or the day before the event (not a few days to a week before like some bakeries).

Gerardo also says that he doesn't believe in freezing cake - he asks that each customer serve the top layer of their cake at their wedding. A little cliche since the tradition is to eat your top tier on your first anniversary...but Gerardo makes each of his clients a fresh replica of their top tier for their anniversary!

Amazing! tasted great and was beautiful.

Gerardo's Bakery is very affordable and they make the most delicious cakes. He was even able to create the cake that I wanted from a picture I saw in a magazine. They are very easy to work with and even though it I see it as a big part of the overall day it was nice to know it was something I didn't need to worry about. I will consider them when I need other bakery items.

I had such a great experience with Gerado's Italian Bakery! They have such a variety of cakes to choose from but are also more than willing to accommodate anything you might want. Gerado worked with my vision and make a beautiful 3 tier wedding cake with fondant butterflies. Everyone raved about the cake's beauty and taste. He worked within my budget while still giving me a beautiful cake. This vendor also gives you a FRESH top tier of your cake on your one year anniversary which eliminates having to save it for a year in the freezer at home. They were very accommodating and responsive when I'd call as well as friendly and professional.

Wonderful to work with, you know exactly what you are getting, and one base cost for all cakes!

amazing.

Awesome cake for an awesome price. Limited flavors but sufficient for our needs. We also got some pastry trays that were a big hit.

Fantastic bakery to work with....cake was not only declicious but gorgeous as well! They even made me a smaller version a year later for our anniversary...FOR FREE!

Delish and EXACTLY like the photo I supplied them with!

This cake was soooooo yummy! They would do whatever design I wanted and the price was excellent!

The cake tasting was fun, we had lots of leftovers to share! The cakes were all so delicious it was hard to choose. Ours came out beautiful and tasted wonderful. Gerardo doesn't believe in eating cake that has been frozen for a year, so they make you a small cake for free on your first anniversary... such a nice touch!!
