Normandie Bakery

PLEASE TAKE 3 MINS TO READ THIS:
*Ralph, the OWNER, put me down in various ways 2 days before my Oct. wedding
*We had a miscommunication about having cupcakes as favors for my wedding
*The miscommunication was his fault: we told him we wanted these favors, and he never wrote the order down, however he said it would be fine and he never said to call to confirm anything! We left thinking everything was all set, especially b/c he was also doing our wedding cake
*I called 2 days before the wedding and he YELLED, CURSED AND HUNG UP ON ME b/c he said we never discussed anything (which when I told him specifics of what HE SAID about the favors, he was dumbfounded)
*Don??t forget ?? I was a bride (and customer) getting married in 2 days?
*He told me I wouldn??t find anyone else to do this, and I did. After he hung up on me, I called another bakery, and in about 30 secs, they said they??d be happy to do this for me.
*We had a different bakery complete everything for us because of him, ultimately.
*The stress and unprofessionalism of this man (infant) is unbelievable and disguisting.
*I strongly advise you to not go here.

Normandie has been around as long as I can remember. Few places in the central Jersey area can do pastries (particularly Italian pastries) like Normandie. Every Christmas Eve, their mini Italian pastry sampler tray is a must-have in my

Quite the contrary to the past reviews I thought this cake store was very clean, and the 2 girls working were very helpful. The cake was also very delicious, I had a hard time choosing from them all, they all looked so good! Great prices as well!

I traveled almost an hour to Normandie Bakery for my tasting and I was NOT disappointed!! Each cake was moist without being sticky and sturdy without being tough. I have never had better buttercream and I can't say enough about the fillings. We have some food allergies to work around and Ralph was very helpful in rechecking the ingredients for us. The cannoli filling is better than any I've ever had! Ralph was a pleasure to work with and I look forward to using them again in the future.

I had made an appointment to meet for my wedding cake with a recommendation from my wedding venue. Was I disappointed! The gentleman there was telling me how I wanted my cake to be. He would not let us speak or even give our ideas. Maybe he was trying to be helpful..but just came across as a know it all who knew nothing. The cake was not that good at the tasting as well.

for all theses people that say that normandie bakery is good. I got my sweet sixteen birthday cake here. I spent over three hours at the place with ralph. he made it out like the cake was going to come out amazing. We had ordered it three months ahead of time. Then when the time came to get the cake it was nothing that i thought it to be. i order the cake to look like a gift but it just looked like a regular cake that i made. it was nothing special that i thought it was going to be. it was such a disappointment to me on my big day for my party. i would not tell anyone to get there cake there for the birthday.

I just have to say that Normandie Bakery is truly one of a kind. We just had what turned out to be a "Super Sweet 16" for my daughter. My daughter and I walked in with not an idea of what we were looking for, only that we needed a special cake for my daughter's 16th birthday. Thankfully, we worked directly with Ralph the owner, who is the most accommodating person I have ever met. He spent two months going back and forth with us to design the perfect 4 tiered fondant cake. It was the rage of the party and looked as though it belonged in a magazine. The most shocking part is that the cake actually tasted better than it looked. Ralph you were incredible to work with! You now have customers for life!!

Oh my, I can not even begin to tell everyone how wonderful the cakes from Normandie are!! The first cake I ordered was an 8-0 for my moms 80th party at the Shore Casino. The 8 was chocolate and the 0 was canolli!! The cake was the hit of the party!! Just beautiful!! Tasted wonderful and not a piece was left!! It was so perfect, I actually cried when the lid was removed and I saw it!! The second was for my daughters birthday, a beach theme, again perfect!! Last week was my birthday cake, again perfect!! These were just special order cakes, however ALL my cakes I now and will forever get at Normandie!! I have become a regular there! Today I ordered a baby shower cake and I am sure it will be just as wonderful as the others!! I can't wait to see it Saturday! I can not wait for my daughter to get married so we can have another special cake!! I am now a regular customer at Normandie! This bakery CAN NOT be beat!! The most beautiful cakes that taste out of this world!!! I always ask for Tiffany, she does a wonderful job!!! Everyone at Normandie Bakery is very nice and they only need a few days notice, which is GREAT!!
Thank you Normandie for making our special occasions even so much more special with your wonderful "hit of the party" cakes!!!! All my cakes were the conversation piece of the party!!

My daughters bridal shower cake resembled "Tiffany" boxes on top one another. The outside was done in fondant with a beautiful fondant bow. The cake was moist, the cannoli and mousse filing was sinfully delicious. The flavors of cake and filling were the best I had ever eaten. The pastries were mouthwatering. Highly recommend this bakery.
