great cake, great price

by teacher27 at Citysearch

I used tompkins bakery for my wedding after searching for a reasonably priced wedding cake that also tasted good and looked good. my cake was spectacular, tasted amazing, and was not over priced. The selection of flavors was impressive and their flowers looked so real people actually touched them, not believing they were sugar. My sister then used them for her wedding, and her cake was even more beautiful than mine. We also have ordered cupcakes from them on special occasions, and it's all delicious. plus, matthew is so nice and helpful.

Cakes, cookies, ice cream, pastries galore! I have a hard time choosing what to get everytime I step into this bakery. The selection is great and the prices are just right. The staff is very helpful and friendly. I'm always excited for an excuse to come here and always a little sad when I have to leave

• Pros: always fresh,staff

Worst Cake EVER!!!!!

by sweetbread35 at Citysearch

I came to this website to find a good bakery for a special birthday cake for a friend, my regular bakery -Amy's Bread did not make the type of cake I wanted. First the bakery itself is extremely unsanitary and there are people coming in and out going behind the counter, etc. I ordered a simple two layer cake ($60), when I picked it up it looked wonderful, however when the cake was cut later at my friend's birthday party it turned out to be overcooked and hard as a brick on the bottom of both layers, also the "buttercream" frosting tasted more like just butter with no sweetness whatsoever, the cake was inedible and the majority was thrown away. To put it mildly I was embarassed and it definitely ruined my friend's special day. Please do not patronize this place, I am not sure what these other posters here experienced, but my friends and I had one HORRIBLE experience.....never again!

• Pros: Nothing
• Cons: Storefront is dirty, baked goods are horrible
