Homestyle Desserts

Rose made us an absolutely beautiful cake (designed based on a picture I brought in) but even more importantly, the cake was DELICIOUS. We got chocolate and vanilla cake with cannoli and chocolate mousse filling, with whipped cream icing. The cake was to die for. It looked beautiful and tasted amazing - so glad our venue recommended them b/c it's probably the best cake I've ever eaten.

First off: THE CAKE WAS DELICIOUS. It was actually moist, it was actually what we ordered, it was decorated exactly as I asked, and it was SO, SO, SO TASTY. (And, if you work with Patriot Hills Golf Club, the cake is included in the cost of the reception!) That being said ... going to the Bakery for the tasting is kind of scary. The bakery itself is a store, and quite busy -- the desserts there are to die for. BUT, the actual tasting and conversation with the back-room staff there was less than romantic. We were less than confident about the standard of hygiene at our tasting (i.e., cake samples just left out on a counter, with slices just being chopped off of them for us and another couple to nibble from), and the woman we talked with was total smokers'-voice / gruff / a little bit intimidating. She was perfectly kind; just ... a tad gruff. They will not have every cake-flavor available for you to sample. Your order will be scribbled on a piece of paper, and you will not feel confident that they will file it away in a safe place. You will call the Bakery about 2 weeks before your wedding to see if everything is going smoothly and if there's anything else you need to check in with them about, but you will not receive a phone-call back. You will wonder, the morning of your wedding, whether the cake will arrive on time, much less be the cake you actually ordered. But then, at your reception, you will see the cake, and you will see that it is EXACTLY what you asked for -- they did EXACTLY what you wanted from the photograph you gave them. Then, you will taste the cake, and it will be SO GOOD that you wish all your guests weren't there, and there was no special thing called "The Cake Cutting," and there was no photographer, so that you could just shove your face into the entire thing and chomp your way from top to bottom. And then, you will be sad that you were too busy greeting guests to actually EAT your slice of cake. And finally, you will be devastated that the top tier was given to your mom, who took it home that night and shared it with your entire gathered family, who gobbled it down at 3 in the morning. THAT is how good the cake tasted.

Homestyle Desserts created my dream wedding cake. It was totally gorgeous, and even more delicious. People gave us so many compliments. The owner was a sweetheart and a pleasure to work with.

A little rough around the edges as far as professionalism goes but the cake turned out amazing! And it was soooo delicious! We loved the taste so much we went back to get baked treats for Thanksgiving.

I have to say it was the best wedding cake I have ever had. Everyone at our wedding was asking for a second piece there was almost no left over cake. We had the canoli it was fabulous. I would highly recommend Homestyle Desserts.

Our cake was included in our venue package. I’m not from the area so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was worried at first when I saw the binder of example cakes that they had at The View but I felt a lot better once I saw the great reviews. We tasted a few cakes (not a ton) and all were very flavorful. The bakery is pretty lively on a weekend (when we went) but I loved the family business aspect of it. We did the double temptation, which was SO good. On our wedding night, everyone was blown away with how good the cake was. Don’t get worried by the old-school cakes they show on the website. I googled a few buttercream styles and asked for a lace-like design. The cake looked extremely elegant!

Everyone raved about how moist and delicious the cake was and how beautiful it was!

Our cake was fantastic - exactly as we pictured and tasted great. Our wedding was at the Thayer Hotel and the cake was part of the package, but I would have picked this cake even if I had to pay extra. It was one of the best cakes I have ever tasted, and looked beautiful. It was delivered right on time. We also did a groom's cake, and they were able to do just what we wanted. Highly recommend their cakes.

I got married at The View on the Hudson and part of the contract was to get my cake through this bakery. The cake was very pretty, we received several compliments at the wedding, but more importantly it tasted AMAZING. I have a big sweet tooth so the fact that the cake looked good AND tasted good was a big plus

Homestyle Desserts in Peekskill was the vendor affiliated with my catering hall for my recent wedding. We went for a tasting and chose vanilla cake with cannoli cream for our wedding cake. It arrived at our venue early, looked absolutely beautiful and was delicious! Highly recommended!!!

I received my cake for free through the package I booked at my venue. There was a very long wait for my cake tasting, but other than that, I have very few negatives. The cake was both delicious and beautiful. Considering that I allowed my husband to choose the filling (I didn't think I would like it!) and I wound up loving it, I have a lot of praise for their ability to provide delicious cakes! One of the sugar flowers did begin to "drip" pink down the cake, but that could have been from a temperature issue within the venue. Overall, it was a beautiful cake that I received many compliments on. Delivery was perfect and I had very little need for communication with Homestyle as they took care of everything. I did call once for a recomendation on what type of cake topper would look best, and their opinion that for my particular design a monogram topper would be best was right on. Anything else would have looked silly. Overall, a good experience!

Worked with my own ribbon I provided and made a beautiful, delicious cake!

I printed out a picture of the cake I wanted before meeting with Rose (the owner) She said she could re-create the cake no problem, and she absolutely did. I decided to let the florist add the flowers to the cake since we were having orchids, and I didn't know how they would hold up at the bakery for a few days. I would have probably liked the cake a little more if the florist would have added a few more flowers, since it looked kind of sparse.. (I started thinking that the bakery might have made it look exactly like the picture I provided) but it was still very beautiful and it tasted absolutely delicious! Everytime I open our freezer and see the top layer of that cake sitting in there, my mouth starts to water.. I seriously want another piece! lol.

Homestyle Bakery may not look like much from the outside but they are serious competition when it comes to dessert. They were so lovely when we went for the tasting and really helped us pick out something that we would love but that would also have a universal appeal with the guests. They could not have been more on the money. Everything was great that day but the cake truly was the best part. It not only looked beautiful but tasted amazing. We had a little bit of everything…vanilla, fudge, cheesecake, whipped cream, etc… sounds crazy but TASTES GREAT. We have the top tier frozen and saved but I want to order a mini cake to recreate the day! I wanted another piece that night but there was nothing left.

Absolutely beautiful and delicious!! I loved it and actually wanted another piece of cake the day of my wedding even though I was too busy and never got a chance. My cake was a cannoli cake and it melted in my mouth. Me and my Husband went to the bakery a two or three weeks before the wedding and the workers were really nice, and very busy. The woman helping us choose our cake let us try different types of cakes and was very nice. Guests will definitely be pleased. I'm definitely going back there to buy some more treats and birthday cakes in the future.

Our wedding cake from Homestyle was included with the cost of our venue and we were very happy with the cake. I described the cake that I wanted and they made it exactly as I asked. It was beautiful! I've received so many compliments on the cake. It was delicious too!

Let me first say that the cake was fantastic and the people at this bakery know a lot about wedding cakes and what can/cannot be done. They have a good idea of style as well, and they have a great reputation when it comes to their baking. The issue we had with them is that when we went for the tasting, we did not feel like valued customers. Our cake was included in our package with our vendor, so all we had to do was pick out the kind of cake we wanted. When we went for the tasting, we spoke with someone who helped us out for a little while, but everything felt rushed. Once another customer needed her assistance, we were ushered to another person and had to retell our design and whatnot. We only had a few kinds of cake and were told to choose. It just felt very rushed and unprofessional. We were unsure everything would work out. Now to be fair, the cake looked and tasted great. But we both thought there could have been problems, since it just wasn't as smooth as many of our other vendors.

I am obsessed with cupcakes - always have been! So when my now husband and I started talking about a wedding there was no doubt in anyone's mind we would be having cupcakes instead of a cake. We met with the women at Homestyle Desserts in Peekskill and they had all kinds of beautiful ideas for our fall wedding. The best part of that day, however, was the tasting...YUMMY!! They were so easy and fun to work with and told us that anything they did in a cake they could do in a cupcake! We decided upon the traditional chocolate and vanilla, and added my favorite RED VELVET!! And then they brought us something AMAZING...something we had never tasted before....a unique cupcake called "Almond Delight" with marscapone cheese filling and brown sugar on top. Unbelievably Yummy! We received a reassuring phone call the week before the wedding confirming our order and they were delivered plenty early the day of the wedding. Just one more thing that made our wedding day perfect and worry free!! BONUS: they are the bakery used at Bear Mountain and the cake is included in the price per person!!

Homestyle Desserts Bakery was the recommended vendor for our reception location...We made an appointment for a tasting during the week since we live out of town. They didn't act like it was a big deal, but when we showed up we were clearly "in the way." The flavors we tasted were disgusting and I was very disappointed. I asked about an almond cake, Julie brought out their almond crunch cake and it was delicious, thankfullly. I brought a photo in for the design and they assured me they could recreate it, which they sort of did, but the design quality was not as polished looking as I was expecting. I can get past that. What I will forever be annoyed and embarrassed that photography documented, is regarding the size of the base. They ASSURED ME SEVERAL times the base would be 14" in diameter according to the number of guests...I asked if I should get a 14" stand for it and they said yes. Well when we showed up to the reception, there was my beautiful cake stand with an 18" cake base perched on top of it. It looked absolutely ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, they should've just put my stand away and told someone about the mistake. It clearly looked pathetic. Oh well, the one flavor we tasted was great and the price is right here, but I will always be disappointed in this aspect of my wedding. :(

Homestyle's cakes are the best! Our wedding cake was included with the cost of the venue.. and luckily, it was from Homestyle. Right from the tasting, we were impressed with their cakes. And, the wedding cake totally lived up to our expectations - fresh, moist and so delicious! Plus, it was so beautiful! Having the cake included with the venue, we were worried that flavors or design would be limited, but it really wasn't! So many guests commented on our cake and asked where it was from- people are still talking about it. Also, if you need another fun dessert for your reception or rehearsal dinner, try their cannoli chips & dip!!
