Dream about wowing your bestie with cakes from the bakery they grew up enjoying? How about a recreation of JFK’s wedding cake for the history buff? There’s a Goldbelly cake that elevates any occasion—you just have to do a little digging for the perfect fit. Our trusted team of editors and foodies scoured the site and tested several options to find the best Goldbelly cakes for every wedding, birthday and anniversary.
For the over-the-top Goldelly cakes fan, you can’t do much better than a PieCaken. It features pecan pie on the bottom, pumpkin pie in the middle and spice cake on top. It’s layered together with cinnamon buttercream and topped with apple pie filling.
“My two favorite layers were the pumpkin pie and cinnamon buttercream, so eating them together was a true treat,” says Senior Editor Caitlyn Fitzpatrick, who wrote our review of the cake. “The PieCaken allowed me to make my own special bites of different desserts I wouldn’t have normally put together on the same utensil.” There’s also a Christmas version!
JFK’s wedding cake is a showstopping gift for bakers and history buffs alike. Boasting ample layers of white cake, raspberry preserves, raspberry frosting and vanilla buttercream, this luxury dessert is sure to leave an impression (and never an empty stomach).
“The texture of the cake was light and fluffy. It wasn’t overly moist, which worked well with the fillings,” says reviewer Molly Allen. “It was beautifully balanced between the white cake, filling and frosting.”
I brought Pearson Farm’s Georgia peach pound cake to a family barbecue, and it was absolutely the star of the show. Chef Virginia Willis took inspiration from her Georgia roots to develop this special seasonal favorite. Moist, delicious and light, it makes the ideal summertime barbecue finisher. Just don’t expect to bring home any leftovers!
The cake bites from Caroline’s Cakes are just as delightful as their larger, multilayered cousins. Senior Shopping Editor Katie Bandurski tried their small-yet-mighty lemon cake bites and loved the zippy, bright flavors of the lemon curd and buttercream. But if you’re not into lemon, don’t worry—there are dozens of different flavors to choose from!
“People think Maryland is just about crabs and seafood (OK, it is phenomenal there), but Angelina’s of Maryland is iconic,” says Content Director Nicole Doster. The Smith Island cake originates from Maryland’s only inhabited island in the Chesapeake Bay. It features nine (!!!) layers of ultra-thin yellow cake separated by cooked chocolate icing—a total crowd-pleaser.Â
Brooklyn’s bustling streets house quite a few bakeries, but Brooklyn Blackout Company is one of the most famous. Originally sold by the now-defunct Ebinger’s storefront, their chocolatey buttercream Blackout cake is a recreation of the original 1970s lost recipe. Try a taste of historical Brooklyn without ever leaving the comfort of home with this storied favorite.
While I haven’t tried their customer-favorite cake, I did receive a dozen of their Blackout cookies from Goldbelly’s cookie of the month club. Spoiler: I totally understand why customers sing this bakery’s praises!
Craving something creamy, gooey and oh-so-decadent? Martha’s salted caramel chocolate cake is just the thing. Boasting six layers of rich chocolate cake sandwiched between layers of salted caramel and flaked sea salt on top, this indulgent dessert is anything but ordinary. As a bonus, ordering one of these Goldbelly cakes won’t cost you a penny for shipping.
Ina Garten’s coconut cake might be one of the most popular Goldbelly cakes there is—and for a good reason. Developed by the Barefoot Contessa herself, each snow-white cake holds layers of fluffy white cake, coconut flakes and tangy cream cheese icing. Choose from either a six-inch cake that feeds up to eight or a bigger eight-inch cake for up to 12 guests. It also makes a great gift for families!
Duff Goldman and his legendary cakes earned quite a reputation thanks to the baker’s fun-loving nature. Try one of Duff’s famous recipes, like the popular vintage lemon blueberry cake, on his Goldbelly cakes shop. Bursting with flavor thanks to four layers of lemon cake studded with whole blueberries, this bright and cheery cake makes an excellent birthday cake delivery for friends and family.
Carlo’s Bakery was founded by Carlo Guastaffero in Hoboken, New Jersey, in 1910. Since then, it has skyrocketed to fame with the help of the TLC show “Cake Boss.” This rainbow cake is one of their most popular offerings, due in large part to the mesmerizing and colorful layers containing a signature sweet vanilla icing. Enjoy this six layered behemoth in as soon as two days when you order it on Goldbelly—no cake decorating supplies required!
Goldbelly is the go-to place for foodies who can’t stop thinking about the pizza they devoured in Detroit or the bagels they bought back in New York. Goldbelly food gifts are some of the most nostalgic and creative culinary creations available online. Their listings cover everything from tropical pineapples fresh from Maui to one-of-a-kind hand-dipped chocolates, all from customer-hyped restaurants and bakeries spanning across America.
Over the years, I’ve tried dozens of their delectable sweet and savory offerings through their all-encompassing food subscription, all of which I can sum up in one word: YUM. No other service covers such extensive ground in the realm of food gifts. But most impressive is their selection of cakes from world-famous bakeries.
