DISAPPOINTED!!!!! I planned my wedding from Texas, getting married at Bear Mountain, New York. The venue suggested Homestyle Bakery for my cake and I called about 3 months in advance to allow enough time to get everything together. I picked a simple cake out of their photographs on their website, and sent the ribbon they needed about 2 months in advance. I was in New York about a month before the wedding and stopped by to try to sample the cake. After standing in the shop for about 15 minutes without being helped by the 5+ workers that walked back and forth, my sister and I decided to just leave. We went to another bakery to sample the same flavor of cake. The week before my wedding, the bakery called to ask me details about the three tier cake I had picked off of their website. There was nothing to be added or changed, I asked for the one they had taken a picture of themselves. The day before the wedding, the bakery called me and put me on hold to ask about the ribbon (that I had sent two months prior). I explained this to them and they stated they got it, three tier round cake with ribbon....easy enough, right? The morning of the wedding the bakery called me again (as if I didnt have enough going on) and asked me what the cake was to look like. A three tier, round cake, just like the picture"...Now I sound redundant. Guess what showed up at the wedding a few hours later? A one tier flat square sheet cake!!! They did bring my cake three hours later, but it was frozen, inedible and my husband and I couldnt even cut into it! DEF WOULD NOT RECOMMMEND.

The cake was delicious BUT when I got to walk over to see my wedding cake at the reception, it had arrived damaged and they didnt bother even trying to fix it. ALSO the fondant design we decided on, that they charged us an extra hundred dollars for was just a piece of printed fondant that we specifically told them not to do. our cake looked HORRIBLE. It was the ugliest wedding cake I have ever seen! I started to cry when I saw it. Now I just received my wedding pictures back and cried all over again because the only picture I have of my cake is absolutely horrible. You see all the damage and the horrible print out as it was right in the front. I would NEVER recommend them to ANYONE as they cant decorate at all. It may taste good but the look is not appealing. Thank you Homestyle for ruining my wedding cake. I should have demanded they gave me my money back.

We originally used Homestyle Desserts Bakery because they offered a package deal with our reception venue, Chalet on the Hudson. But, I am so glad we took a chance with this lovely family owned bakery. Our wedding cake was AMAZING. We came in requesting a Vincent Van Gogh starry night/Doctor Who combo. I was welcomed by a baker who knew exactly what I was looking for, and she executed our cake perfectly. The hand painted details were exquisite and you could tell she was someone that was proud of her work. Beyond the beautiful design were 3 delicious flavors (red velvet, carrot, white with strawberries). Everyone thought the cake was delicious. Thank you so much for this amazing experience. We would recommend Homestyle Deserts to anyone.

We had our wedding cake and our wedding favors made at Homestyle. Honestly, they could not have been any better. We chose a carrot cake, with cream cheese filling, and buttercream icing and OH MY GOD was it delicious! Even people who dont normally like carrot cake were so impressed. Equally as impressive were their apple cider donuts. We ordered them as favors and were a bit concerned with how they would hold up if people ate them the day after. Often cider donuts tend to get stale within 24 hours. Not these! We were eating them a full week later, and they were just as moist and delicious as the day we got them. We couldnt be more pleased- thank you Julie and team!

I must start this review by saying that I do not like wedding cake. I almost never eat it when Im at a wedding because its never good. The same can not be said about the wedding cake we got from Homestyle Desserts. The cake was INSANE! We got vanilla and chocolate cake with a layer of their famous canoli cream and chocolate pudding. People were eating the cake of the person sitting next to them and everyone was raving about how good it was. My only negative is that we had to freeze the top tier for our first anniversary - ha ha. It tempts me everytime I open our freezer :) BEST CAKE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My youngest son will celebrate his birthday later this month (March) in his 4th and final year as a Cadet at West Point, and for the 4th consecutive year, Im incredibly lucky to have a fellow Cadet parent pick up one of THE most delicious German Chocolate Cakes my son says he has ever sunk he teeth into. And to be clear, the few times Ive been able to visit my son (live in Oregon), Ive stopped in twice to the Bakery. Its very fortunate I dont live close by as no doubt Id have to take out a second mortgage to pay for all the baked goods Id be buying from Homestyle! :) GREAT bakery run by FANTASTIC people!

I dont understand other peoples experience. I have always been treated nicely in this bakery. It is always packed and if you come at a time its packed expect to be rushed because they are running a business. Duh! Everything I have tried from them is delicious from the birthday cakes to the rainbow cookie cupcakes to the ruggalah. The only thing I would have to say is hit or miss is the maple donuts. They are always delicious but sometimes a bit greasy. Other than that it is better than nyc and I am glad I have a decent bakery in the neighborhood since moving from nyc!!!

This place has a very local feel to it. They have a great arrangement of pastries. Ive tried the cannoli, cookies, and donuts. Overall, everything rates as OK. I dont find anything there to get excited about and I think they are a bit pricey considering the location. They seems to be doing well, though, so thats good. They are definitely better than grocery store bakeries, which are about the only other large-scale option in the area.

I have used Homestyle for my engagement party & wedding cakes, cakes for work and birthday occasions, as well as other desserts for various parties. The cake is absolutely delicious--and I have tried multiple flavors. Their cannoli chips and dip are to die for, definitely a crowd pleaser. I have always experienced reliable service from this bakery and those who work there. Highly recommend!

DELICIOUS, BEAUTIFUL WEDDING CAKE!! We were so thrilled with the end result. My family has been using Homestyle for as long as I remember and I was so happy when I heard they were contracted with our wedding venue (Doubletree Tarrytown). We were soooo happy with how beautifully it came out - using fresh flowers from our florist and matching our colors perfectly.

Homestyle is incredible. The cannoli cake. The chocolate-dipped strawberries. The cookies. My family has ordered many custom cakes from Homestyle, and has consistently been impressed. Everything is so fresh and tastes exactly as it should - except better. Friendly service too. Peekskill is lucky to have this gem.
