Having Your Cake & Eating It Too

I got a chance to check out the creations of local bakery masters at Palermo's Bakery in Ridgefield Park. You don't need your own TV show to be able to create works of art, as the cakes on this page by Palermo's attest.

From the outside,  Palermo's looks like every other neighborhood bakeshop, and it is. It's been in business for over 20 years. But it's also the home to a level of artistry that rivals any TV celebrity baker.


These are the creations of the master bakers working behind the scenes in the kitchens. They just participated in the Martha Stewart Weddings and the Wedding Library's Wedding Party Bridal show at the New York Palace Hotel this past Saturday, and previously were able to present David Tutera of TV's My Fair Wedding with a special cake celebrating his many literary successes. Their cakes have also been featured on Platinum Weddings on WE.

If you want to check out some of their awesome cakes on your own, you're going to need an appointment. While some of their creations can be seen in the bake shop, the real show stoppers are located in the display room located just next door. And just like at a fine jeweler, you need to be buzzed in to gain entrance.

I recommend taking some time to stop in and see what these cake masters can do. And while you're there, try a cannoli. I did. Yum!
