"My name is Patrick Purcell. Last month I order a chocolate ganache cake.  The cake was amazing . Everyone enjoyed it. The filling was perfect and the cake was moist.  The cake was for my wife's birthday and she had a wonderful time.

Thanks again for making such a delicious cake."

"Tricia, the manager, was a joy to work with. My husband and I had a blast at the cake tasting, and she was a wealth of ideas and suggestions to make our cake unique and satisfying for our guests. We decided on a 4 tier cake with 3 flavors: red velvet cake/cream cheese filling, chocolate cake/hazelnut filling, and rum cake/raspberry jam & vanilla mousse filling. We had a vanilla whip icing that was textured for a more vintage style. All of it was fabulous. The chocolate/hazelnut was a real crowd pleaser!

 

The Groom's Cake was perhaps even more noteworthy. Rather than having two cakes at our wedding, we chose to serve the groom's cake at our rehearsal dinner, which was held at The Brown Derby (same ownership as Villa Italia). Bobby Malozzi, head pastry chef, is an incredibly busy man but was fortunately able to fit in a meeting with me to go over a design that would blow my film director husband's mind (I am also camerawoman). The results were spectacular. I think our guests took more photos of the cake than anything else at our rehearsal dinner! You can find photos of our cake on the Villa Italia website. It was truly amazing to see my ideas become a reality, in a cake so beautiful you almost didn't want to cut in to it... but who can resist Villa Italia cake?! It was chocolate cake with peanut butter filling, and vanilla buttercream frosting with fondant to finish. A work of art indeed.

 

Lastly, in addition to our groom's cake we served Villa Italia's pastries and petit fours at the rehearsal dinner. It was an over the top treat that delighted our guests! You just can't go wrong with this bakery. They are unequivocally the best."

"I wanted to thank you for the beautiful cake for my daughter in law's baby shower. I ordered a 12 inch round marble cake with vanilla custard filling. I left the invitation with a girl at the counter and we talked the next day by phone. I wanted to incorporate some orange color in the cake but was stumped by the design and you suggested an orange cake with white polka dots and lovely phrase "wishing you bundles of joy with your new baby boy". The cake was just perfect; color, decorations, writing. It was a huge hit and the centerpiece of the table.
 
Thank you so much for your suggestions and the attention to detail. The guests just raved about how beautiful AND delicious the cake was."

"I was married over Columbus Day weekend at the Mabee Farm just outside of Schenectady and you provided our wedding cakes (all 7)!  I wanted to share a few pictures and to say thank you for your amazing work."

Best,
