Pasticceria La Torre

wow, I ordered my birthday cake yesterday and went to pick it up today. It was a yellow cake with two layers of cannoli cream in the middle wrapped in cannoli cream and fresh whipped cream all over it. I have to say it was absolutely delicious super fresh. It was amazing and everybody is raving about it. One of the best cakes I ever had yummy. I had to write this review before I even finished eating my piece.

I placed an order for a 9 inch red velvet cake with vanilla buttercream for my girlfriend’s birthday and this is what I received. The cake looked how I wanted it aside from the writing. It looks rushed and I asked for gold frosting on top not yellow. When it came to trying the cake, it was terrible. It tasted like plain yellow cake, and not even good yellow cake. It was very dry, and they put a mountain of frosting (which tasted like store bought vanilla icing) in between the layers. From what I thought, buttercream should be a little softer that this frosting that they put. I’m highly disappointed with this cake. $40 for frosting with a side of cake is ridiculous. Wouldn’t recommend.

A local bakery that I frequent for a lot of occasions. I love their assortment of mini cakes and pastries. The cakes are decent and decently priced. The best thing in my opinion is that they're open so early and stay open unusually late. I can stop in super early before work or after work when all the other bakeries are closed.

On our way home we stopped by this store to get some desserts & they didn't disappoint us! All of their items were very tasty and the staff was nice and professional. Give them a shot if you're around the area and want some snacks!

An old fashioned Italian bakery in the heart of Howard Beach. La Totre has it all. Family atmosphere and all the classics and then some. I've tried cakes, pastries cookies,and bread, all have been delicious. Very reasonable prices. Stop by, you'll be glad you did.
