Carousel Cakes

I sent my dad a coconut custard pie for Father’s day — it was something his mom used to make. My parents told me it was probably the BEST pie they’d EVER had, hands down. Lots and lots of coconut, the custard was perfectly creamy, and the crust was amazing. I would not hesitate to buy again. When you order from the Internet, you never know, but this was outstanding. Thanks so much!

Love love love the cakes here, especially the red velvet cake. Cupcakes are not as good, though…

I cannot believe there aren’t more reviews about this place. I have the pleasure of indulging in their cakes once a year. My co-​worker brings their Blue Velvet to work every year on her birthday. The past 2 years I’ve been purchasing from them as well. I can guarantee you’ve never tasted anything better than their Blue Velvet. It tastes like heaven. One bite brings me to my «happy» place. Soft. Sweet. Literally melts in your mouth. I keep it in the refrigerator to preserve it as long as possible. Eaten cold or room temperature… doesn’t matter. You will enjoy it at any temperature. Add a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and you’ll never want the moment to end. Have I convinced you yet?
This year I decided to try something new (in addition to the Blue Velvet) I got the Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cake. OMG!!! If you don’t like Chocolate stop reading now. This is every chocolate lovers dream!!! You know what, let my pictures do the talking.

I ordered My grandson’s christening cake from Carousel Cakes and was so pleased. The cake was amazing !

Don’t know why this place gets hype for its red velvet cake… it tastes like butter and the frosting is too sweet. I’ve had better.

Best. Cheesecake. EVER! Light, fluuffy, airy and out of this world delicious! Put me in a bathtub & cover me in this cheesecake.

Awesome cakes. I favorites are tiramisu, Black Forest and carrot.
The cakes are always fresh and delicious and kosher :-)
Oh yeah, they’re also sold at my favorite deli. Moe’s 1 gourmet @ 2738 Frederick Douglass Blvd Ny Ny 10 039

Carousel cakes is the place to go for the best pies/​cakes in rockland! They have a great selection to choose from, it’s hard to choose one! My personal faves are the Black Forest, tiramisu, and red velvet (it’s also Oprah’s fave!). You can choose from a 7″ or 10″ cake. Their staff is sooooo friendly! They close at 5 pm and I was a few minutes past 5 on thanksgiving eve and they still let me choose my cakes! They didn’t even rush me and were very friendly. They tried to accommodate my order even though it was closed. (I tried to get a pineapple cheesecake but the fruit toppings weren’t available because they were closing). Most places slam the door in your face but the family who owns Carousel cakes welcomed me in and joked around! They’re so friendly they even gave me cupcakes! I love cupcakes and am very picky and these were amazing! Carousel Cakes puts Lauduree and Georgetown Cupcakes to shame! They should open up tons more locations! This is a def must try!

Ordered a custom cake for a military send off party, cake was good, but the decorations weren’t what we had ordered, the «ribbon» we asked for around the cake was just a line, but the cake was great! They have a large variety of dairy free options which was great for our needs

I had a event for my business August 17^th, 2015. I went online to order Carousel famous Red & Blue velvet cupcakes. I paid the additional fee to have them delivered in two days. The cupcakes arrived but were all damage. I had to have a friend go to their location and purchased 12 more cupcakes. Long story short. I sent an email to the company and explained the issue. The response time was very quick. They were very apologetic and offered to refund me my money or give me more cupcakes. Needless to say the cupcakes were great my guest loved them! Next time I will not order online for delivery.
Customer service by Brittany was awesome!

They have a great selection of cakes and I called ahead to make sure they would have the one that I wanted in stock. The woman on the phone was pretty short with me, but I still figured I would give this place a go since they had the exact cake I wanted for my boyfriend’s birthday. Prices are totally reasonable, too.
I bought the Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake and we loved it! I was super pleased with my purchase. The only thing is, they freeze everything, so if you are picking up a cake the day of, make sure you have at least 3 hours to thaw it.

Best cupcakes ever. Well some of the best I have ever had. For me, these cupcakes beat Magnolia, Baked by Melissa, Crumbs cupcakes. There’s a reason why an item from their bakery made Oprah’s top list for the holidays one year. Favorite cupcakes are, but not limited to Oreo, M&M, brownie, Reeces, Coconut, plain… You have to let the cupcake thaw outside for an hour or two (since they are frozen-​dont be alarmed!) or let them be in the fridge… once the frosting thaws it does not do anything to the taste or consistency of the frosting or cake for that matter, it is light, creamy, airy, sweet but not too sweet, the cake part is soft and not dry, it is a perfect balance and quite possibly a perfect cupcake. They have multiple stores in NYC where their cupcakes are sold but I prefer to get them from their wholesale location in Nanuet, NY (its tucked away in a corner can be difficult to spot), over here you are gaurenteed an entire option off their menu. Their chocolate mousse cake, white/​black mousse cake are delcious, some of the best mousse cakes I have ever had in NYC as well. Their pies are scrumptios, pecan, pumpkin (fav) and their nestle tollhouse pie are deliciouss with or without a scoop of icecream/​whip cream on the side. This is a repeat spot over and over again!

Best Red Velvet Cake EVER! And I hate red velvet… but here its mmm so good. I also don’t really care for sweets so you know its good. Great service! Pricey but for quality I am willing to pay extra and literally drive the extra 5 miles.

Recently had a specialty cake made there and turned out great — really enhanced the event and the cake was delicious!

Love this place! Have never been disappointed with a cake I have purchased. I haven’t ordered a custom cake yet but everything I have ordered off the menu has been amazing! I would even say better than Rockland Bakery cakes. The black and white mousse supreme cake is delicious. I am looking forward to trying the red velvet soon.

We bought our cake and pie through a fund raiser. I was happy to know that they offered fund raisers for the community and therefor was quick to sample their products. I’m a lemon meringue girl myself but they have nothing similar on the menu so we settled with a pecan pie and the chocolate mousse cake for the man.
The orders were delivered correctly and presentation get’s 5 stars. The next day we ate the pecan and it was alright. Nothing to mail home to mom, but good for a $ 15 pie. The chocolate mousse cake I didn’t get to sample at first because the MAN decided to hide it in the freezer in the box under a bunch of things and pretend like he wasn’t digging into it for weeks… What. A. Butt. Oh sure, it was for him, well so, what if I just wanted a piece!?! Anyway I took a piece eventually and it was yummy but not my thing. So more for him =P
So far I’m not really impressed. I would get the chocolate mousse again for the man but then I’d have nothing for myself, and we can’t have that. So for now I’ll have to try somewhere else.
Their cakes and pies are pretty «classic.»

I’ve known of this place since my mom used to get the Carrot Cakes here in the 80s. If you’re not a local, it’s not easy finding this place or even knowing about it. With Rockland Bakery about a mile away, it’s interesting this place is around. Definitely could have more action if the storefront was more inviting instead of a brown brick warehouse exterior with a cumbersome parking lot entrance.
The sales girl/​cashier/​everything else could have been more enthusiastic. And there’s a charge for writing? Shouldn’t that be free like other bakeries?
I had many options to choose from but not wanting to pack on too many pounds, I got the tried and true Carrot Cake. I haven’t had this since the 80s. Not what I remember and it is filled with raisins and shredded carrot. Could be better in terms of not being so hearty, but great nonetheless.
Did I forget the prices are amazingly reasonable? Must go if you need cake!

I recently ordered a custom cake for a large party. It tasted average but came out looking super tacky.
While trying to order the cake over the phone the young woman on the other end continuously interrupted me and changed every idea that I had said I wanted for the decoration of the cake.
When they say they’re decorating with silver leaves they’re not talking about creating the leaves out of frosting and putting edible metallic powder on them. Expect dollar store quality paper leaves.

I’ve their cakes numerous times, and find their cakes to be hit or miss. With a saturation of bakeries in the area — I quite frankly find that there are simply better options around. The tiramisu is good, and most recently — I had a strawberry short cake that was seriously lacking in strawberry (sad). I’m not saying don’t go here — but I’m not saying definitely do either.

The cakes are okay — nothing special. Customer service was horrible.
I was ordering cakes one day and I was told that it is ridiculous to write «Happy Birthday» on every cake I ordered and the woman laughed at me the whole time I was on the phone with her. She then proceeded to tell me its not worth it to deliver my «tiny» order of three cakes.
Save your money and go to a place with better quality cakes and courteous sales people.
