( 4.7) Gambino's Bakery King Cakes REVIEWS
It was a birthday cake for a friend. She was originally from New Orleans and frequented Gambino's bakery. Her first move was to open the box and smell. She said it smelled just like Gambino's bakery the way she remembered from her childhood. So glad that they are shipping their cakes!

We ordered the Unicorn cake to celebrate our grandmother’s 103rd birthday. Much like the unicorn, “Gigi” is a mythical creature & the cake was a perfect reminder of that!!

It was fresh and very tasty. I ordered it for a Three Kings celebration at our church and everyone enjoyed it. I plan to order one again next year. I have been doing this for several years and this was by far the best cake I have had!

pretty smooth process and everything arrived when expected. i've never ordered frozen cakes online and wasn't entirely sure how they would taste, but can i just say Rave Reviews! the Doberge cake in particular was exceptionally good. i had planned to order direct from the bakery till their website froze while i was trying to choose shipping options, so i was glad to see their products on your website. also appreciated the 2-for-1 flash sale on an item i'd already planned to buy; i gave the 2nd king cake to my neighbors, knowing their young daughter would have a blast decorating it herself

Great look, just like the online photo, except that some of the swirl icing on top was smudged and stuck on the tin cover. Very good almond extract flavor. Not overly sweet. Great cake texture. Love tall cakes with impressive slices. Well-packed for shipment.
