“ Look no further for the best bakery We needed a perfect cake for my sons celebration of life and we were so pleased with the masterpiece that was created. It was movie star quality and the design work was top notch. My son loved sunflowers and succulents and Pam created the most perfect design. My daughter sat down with her and explained detail by detail. You could see all the love in her design. And the taste of this carrot cake was the best I have ever had and I have had a lot. Thank you Pam Gayle for the best cake for my son Michaels celebration of life ”
“ Im grateful for this little bakery near my house. As a former baker, I typically prefer to make my own desserts. Im notoriously picky as I have sensitive taste buds. But I also have a disability and sometimes I dont have the energy to bake myself and this bakery is my go to! I have full confidence that whatever I order from them Ill be exceptionally pleased with. I just had a tiramisu cake for my birthday and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all. My dad was exceptionally impressed with Vegan cupcakes. He is not vegan but a dinner guest had an allergy. I have also bought gluten free items for another event where a guest had an allergy and again, excellent. No need to buy two different desserts if you have some guests with food restrictions and some without....but you may want to because its all so good. ”
“ PennDels has provided birthday treats for my family for the last two years and they are amazing! My daughter was especially excited about her very pink cupcakes and I love their snickerdoodles. Looking forward to enjoying more goodies from PennDels in the future! ”
