Bizcocho De Colores

I’ve been getting my cakes from De Colores for years and they always impress me with how amazing there work is as well as how delicious the cakes are. Every event I have I make sure to order my cake from this establishment because I know that I won’t be disappointed. I love the fact that they give me exactly what I vision. I also stop by from time to time to get their amazing juice with a pastelito, they have a variety of flavors to choose from. And last but not least I can never leave without their famous flan it is to die for sooo good.

I just love ordering from de colores. They do an amazing job!!!, not only on their cakes/​desserts but also with their customer service. I am an extremely picky person with a finicky taste, and all of the employees there do an amazing job at working with me and getting everything done just the way I ordered it. Since I discovered them (yes like columbus discovered america) in their smaller shop just up the block, I have been ordering my cakes from them. Not only are all of my family members and friends ordering from them, but now I have all of my coworkers hooked.
P. s. the details in Stacey’s cakes are amazing

This is review super overdue. This place is great I asked them to make cake pops for a bachelorette party (not your typical shape lol) in August and they nailed it! Exactly how I wanted them to look. Even better then what I expected. I ordered on a Friday and had cake pops and cupcakes done by Saturday. They were super efficient and very nice staff. Not to mention they were delicious! I had red velvet and they were amazing the entire night. Def will buy from here again.

Their crema de leche cake is to die for. However, my birthday cake was ordered from here and instead of writing «Happy Birthday» they wrote «Happy Babyshower». The fondant figure on the cake was also a bit exciting and nothing on how I wanted it. They also did put enough crema de leche filling on the cake which was unsatisfying.

I ordered my baby shower cake from here and I was very happy with the end results. The decoration was beautiful and the taste was great. All the guests loved the cake

I ordered a half a pound pineapple filled cake for my niece’s birthday. They charged 30 dollars (I found to be over priced but overlooked it because a friend highly suggested them). The cake was nothing but mediocre in taste. The most important characteristic of a Dominican cake is it’s moisture and this cake was very dry. The filling was not flavorful. I would have been better off picking up a cake from BJ’s. The customer service was good. I have no complaints in that department. Ordering was made easy and fast (same day). And the cake was presentable. But the cake was not good. I was left embarrassed.

I ordered an anniversary cake it came out beautiful and it tasted amazing!
The girl at the counter was able to help pick out a filling for the inside of the cake and help me decorate it (colors, flowers, etc.)
The staff was very helpful and professional. This is the place to go if you want a yummy and beautiful cake!

I went to get a quote on a cake for my daughters birthday party. It was a 3 tier cake I wasn’t looking for anything extravagant. The girl who I was speaking to told me they charge $ 185 for each pound of cake done in fondant. I found it to be a bit too pricey. I’ll just stick to ordering regular Dominican style cake.

There prices went up after the renovations they did on the store. I Bought ½ pound of cake and it was a simple thing nothing out of this world. The flavor of the cake was not even all that.

First off i placed my order 3 weeks in advance and they still managed not to have my cake ready on time when i arrived it was set up for 1:00 i even arrived a few minutes late and it wasn’t ready. They are very disorganized they need to keep up with commitments. What if i was on a time constraint? Never ordering cake for them again!

Dry cake, flavourless!

Traditional Dominican cake –very consistent taste. Love them! This place is a community staple. My family has been buying their cakes here generation after generation. I moved to the Bronx a couple of years ago and I occasionally still stop by here to buy a tres leches cake to a get a taste of home and share with my mom who still lives in the area — I think this is everyone’s favorite :). They made my wedding cake and I am sure I will be ordering my baby shower cake and first child’s birthday cake here as well.

I ordered a cake for my moms 65^th birthday (a milestone celebration) nothing too fancy, (1 level cake) fitting for an intimate setting with her children and grandkids. I live exactly 4.4 miles (lower Westchester) away from the bakery… a 15 minute drive tops!!! I picked up my order at 1pm and arrived at my home at 1:30pm (driving with precaution). I opened the box to customers worst nightmare!!! My moms cake completely shifted almost falling off! Party started at 3pm… so I had zero time for a replacement cake. I had to literally shift the entire cake back in it’s place trying to prevent any further damage. As I was trying to repair this MESS; I also noticed an EXTREMELY thin layer of guava (cake filling I choose) almost transparent where I could see right through the other cake layer below it!!! Long story short I was able to salvage as much of the cake as I possibly could. But My siblings and I were COMPLETELY disappointed. I can’t understand why were there no dowels or some sort of better supportive foundation placed within the cake to prevent the cake shifting to begin with?! I’m no baker, but I know that much! Aside from the visual disappointment of the cake; the lack of filling necessary for the cake was also disheartening. It was soooooo DRY!!! This establishment won’t be getting anymore of my business from any of my friends or family.

Ok the cakes are still good, but hey a business is made up of customers. .so if you don’t treat you’re customers good. I’m pretty sure there other bakeries who sell dominican cake as good and better… so guys you’re slacking. .good service is always first. .some people come back not because you have good cake but because they were served good and want to come back for the experience. …so dont expect people to come back when you give them bad service no matter how good you’re cakes are…

I couldn’t believe they messed up and lost my order. My mom called in front of me and placed the order in the morning 3 days before I needed the cake. Then I remembered I needed a cupcake. So thank God I called because they said the order was never placed. I was angry but had no choice to place another order. This time with the cupcake. They kept me on hold forever and different people kept picking up the phone. Finally order was placed and I was nervous it would even be there on the day of delivery.
They used to make amazing cakes. I lived around the corner when they first opened. The last one I ordered was for a 1 year olds birthday party and it was super dry and the flavor was off. But the one cupcake I ordered did taste good. This was in October.2014. Don’t see myself coming from the Bronx to this bakery again. I think it’s a hit or miss.

Had a horrible experience here. Customer Service is non-​existent!!! Called to place an order, was given a figure. Get there for the pick up and even though that same figure was on a tape on top of the cake they tell me that it’s another higher price and that a newbie had accidentally given me the wrong one. Since I had only taken out enough money for the cake I told them that all I had was the cash on hand. They told me to go home and get the rest of the money. I drove 20 mins to get there I wasn’t about to do that. They treated me as if I had made up my own price. I was given that price on the phone and the cake itself had note with the same price.
Horrible!!!

The cakes alone get five stars. They sell the best Dominican cakes in the city, hands down, no arguments there. However, due to their increasing popularity, the prices have gone up so much! Goodness, I’ve been coming here for all occasions (honestly, there doesn’t have to be an occasion for me to buy their cakes) for about six years now. Since I’ve been buying cakes from here, the price for just a one pound cake with crema de leche filling has maybe tripled (definitely doubled) Minus 2 stars.
Customer service: an area I don’t have a problem with. I’m not there to chit chat or make conversation about the weather. I pay, you give me my order and we keep it moving. Never had an issue so you’ll get one star back.
Now for my orders. I ordered two cakes within the same week for my son’s birthday last month. I asked for rectangular cakes both times with crema de leche filling. The filling was great however BOTH cakes were round. I didn’t bring this up or make a big deal about it because it wasn’t worth it. Cake is food and It’s all going down the same place, the cakes were still nicely decorated with the theme I asked for, and they were delicious. Minus one star for messing up the shapes twice (come on, really, twice?!)
So that makes my review three stars. Honestly, you can’t go wrong here in terms of flavor. Their cakes are amazing! If it weren’t for the prices and the miscommunication, I would have given it five stars.

Move along to another bakery — there are plenty. I went here cake shopping for my sons birthday. I tried a slice of their Dominican pineapple cake for $ 2 to taste and help with my decision to order there or not. Meh. The cake was ok. The inside left a dry flour after taste and it was dry. I know Dominican cake is hard to make and give kiddos to whomever can make one and with all the race reviews of this place you would think the cake would be jaw dropping fabulous. It’s not. I tried the cake AFTER I found out the cost for them to make a birthday cake so it’s not like I was going based on what I tasted. Again, I tired the cake after finding out the cost.
Well they sure made the decision for me not to get this cake here when I was told me $ 115 for 1 lb Dominican cake with fondant or $ 95 for a 1lb Dominican cake with sugar frosting. Hahahaha!
Really funny considering I’ve seen the «artistic» work they do on their cakes. Some of the cakes look like a party went there to die. Lopsided cakes and an exaggerated amount of decorations. For that I’ll go to a shop in lower Manhattan and get good tasting cake. Sorry Bizcocho de Clolores but I think you to hire tasters.

I have been coming here for over 10 years, driving over an hour to get their delicious cake. They use to be a very customer service oriented family establishment and always willing to accommodate your needs. That has definitely change!
I guess because they got so popular, their prices have gone up substantially. They are never on time with the cake delivery. I always end up waiting 30+ minutes for my cake to be ready. And there is no parking! So you have to double park outside and pray that you don’t get a ticket.
I went there 2 weeks ago and it was as if my business didn’t matter to them. There was only 1 person taking orders, so I waited online for about 40 minutes without any acknowledgement of my presence. After I finally got to speak with the order taker, I explained what kind of cake and size and she told me they could not make a ½ pound cake. Did I mention I’ve been coming here for over 10 years?! well, this was not the first time I had made this request, but it was the first time they denied it. I feel like they did not want to bother with the smaller cake since it was not a substantial sale.
They seem to have forgotten that we are in the USA and here customer service goes hand in hand with food quality. They have to understand that we are not in Dominican Republic anymore and you can’t treat your customers like crap. Here, customer service matters. and I don’t think I’m the only person that feels this way. Yes, the cake is very good, that is the only reason I am giving them 1 star. The staff gets an F only because I cannot grade them lower. Needless to say, I will no longer be going there.

Best place for Dominican cake in nyc the heights period. I have been going to de colores for about 4 years now and sometimes i dont even need and reason to go get me a ½ guava filling cake. Tumps up people. Keep doing great.
PS. I was reading some reviews about De Colores not been able to work with Fondant and thats bull shit. First to all, De Colores is for DOMINICAN cake meaning SUPIRO is whats up. That is what we put on our cakes. If you want the stift sugar mix that comes pre make from a factory and flavorless cakes go to a American bakery. Some times you cant get the best of both worlds.
I love that De Colores is fresh made cake (i know for a fact that some times u can even feel the warness of the cake through the box) the supiro as well is fresh (since u cant make supiro and just leave there for months)
