| - We got our wedding cake from this bakery, and boy were we and our guests impressed with the finished product. Originally, we had planned to get the wedding cake from an old and well-established bakery in Little Italy. But as soon as I mentioned 'wedding' the prices seemed to sky-rocket! I had asked for the simplest possible three layer cake, with no sugar flowers or details of any kind and I was quoted $550 plus a hefty delivery charge. After expressing my frustration and disappointment with our Greek florist, she recommended Afroditi. My goodness, what a difference! The head baker, Christopher, is so professional and it was immediately obvious to me that he really cares about his customers. Before meeting with him in person, Christopher had recommended that I come in with photos so we could discuss what it was I wanted. However, as soon as I saw some of his creations, I threw away my photos and went with one of his original designs. He took a lot of time with me and in the end he created a confectionery wonder that dazzled. He is more than a baker, he is an artist! I also appreciated being able to pay with my credit card or interact card whereas the bakery in Little Italy was a cash only business, no checks either - who carries more than $600 with them? The biggest difference was undoubtedly the price. The three-layer cake, with all of its flourish and beautiful characteristics, was only $300! This included an almond paste fondant icing, Grand Marnier pastry creme, life-like sugar flowers, icing details and delivery! A similar cake at the aforementioned Little Italy bakery would have easily been 3x the price. A bride on a budget and who wants a beautiful wedding cake absolutely needs to come here!
