This
bakery specializes in sugar free, gluten free, wheat free and vegan
goods. Most goods are sweetened with agave nectar (often a safe
alternative for diabetics). Delivery to NYC. Great things from
cupcakes, to cookie sandwiches, to, of course! birthday cakes. You can
get a shipping quote from them too.

My
recommendation, if you get a cake from there, is to ask them to be sure
to make it the day of, and DO NOT refrigerate it in advance of serving
it.  It was pretty dense and dry after we refrigerated the one we got for my diabetic dad’s birthday last year. Their frosting is pretty darn good, though — rich and creamy without being cloyingly sweet. New York Mag named their cupcakes the best in the city last year. Anyway, enjoy!

Believe it or not, the Costco
cakes are really delicious! (and inexpensive). An entire sheet cake for
40 people was $22.00. Everyone remarked on how great the cake was for
Papa Tree’s 40th Birthday.  We got a carrot cake (no nuts)- and I have
to say, it was pretty darn good. Only 4 slices were left after the
party and Grandma Tree ate all 4 of them the next day (can say she
loved it!).  You have to go to the store at least 24 hours in advance
and put in your order in person. This is a drag, but, hey, you can also
pick up paper plates and cutlery too.  The decorations are really
limited- balloons, rainbows, graduation gowns, footballs, etc.

Villabate Pasticceria and Bakery, a Brooklyn based pastry shop using authentic old world Sicilian family recipes and techniques for cakes …

I was skeptical when my husband told me that he ordered a birthday cake for our two-year-old’s party from Villabate, a bustling and beautiful patisserie in Brooklyn. I thought the pastry would be too rich and sophisticated for kids. I was inclined to order from familiar bakeries in Red Hook or Cobble Hill. But, I have to say …my husband scored big time! The cake was a hit with the adults and the kids. It was angel food with chocolate icing topped with strawberries and blueberries. It was an incredible deal at $40. That included the decorating with writing and little balloons on top. The two other bakeries that I called quoted me prices ranging from $80 to $150 for a comparable cake.  Villabate’s cake was moist, authentic and really pretty. So if you want to travel outside your comfort zone, have a cultural experience and get a great cake at a great deal – go to Villabate in Bensonhurst. Ciao!
