Customer Testimonials

 

I just wanted to write to say thank you - your gluten free cakes have been
terrific and have made our recent birthdays truly memorable.  Parties were
always an issue when it boiled down to the cake and how to avoid complaints by
non-celiacs about the taste of the cake or to make the celiacs in my family feel
included when it comes to desert time.  With your cakes, these problems no
longer exist.  I cannot thank you enough.
Kindest regards,
Danielle

Just wanted you to know how much my husband loved the bread that we
bought in your bakery yesterday!  He was diagnosed with Celiac Disease just a
few months ago and hasn't had any bread since. He has not found any gluten-free
bread he really enjoyed eating until NOW! We will def. be back to buy more. He
also LOVED the chocolate chip cookie he bought!  Thank you so much for making
these products!! We plan to shop there more often now!

Thank you for making such beautiful and delicious cakes for our family's celebration last Saturday.  The white cake was delectable, and you did a wonderful job including both of our daughters' names on each side of the frosting cross for their Confirmation and First Communion.  Also, my mom's birthday cake was perfect!   We told everyone about you -- all 50 guests -- and my sister-in-law took down your address so she can become a regular customer, as she needs a gluten-free diet.   We will be back again soon!

I just want to thank you again for yet another shipment of absolutely delicious gluten and nut/peanut free cookies.  Even the mom's at the Mother's Day tea were asking where I bought the cookies.  No one could believe they were gluten and nut free and one woman even said they were the best cookies she had ever had (I agree).  Of course, the kids gobbled them down too.  Thank you so much for being so allergy aware and what a gift that I didn't have to make all the cookies.  All the best,  Danielle, Willa Bay and Addie Skye

Amy,

Just HAD to let you know, your biscottis were the hit at my friends Super bowl party. I ate more than I should have. They kept asking me where I got them, so I told them that one of my teachers is a chef and has her own bakery!!

AND…you were right…Those ricotta biscuits are MY FAVORITE. When I got home, there were only three left in the bag and my girlfriend grabbed them and ate them.

I’ll be back for more!!!! See you real soon!

Thanks, Russ

Hi,

Just wanted to let you know how pleased we were with the Little Einstein cake you designed for my daughter's 3rd birthday party. The image came out EXCELLENT!! Our guests loved the "taste" of both the 1/4 sheet and 1/2 sheet cakes you made for us. Thanks so much for your hard work! We appreciate such awesome cakes and most importantly, for being Nut Free! Keep up the great work! Kim and Chris Parker

I just received my box full of cookies — They were packaged so nicely and perfect for gift giving — but this batch is for me. I got two different Biscotti's — Orange Cranberry and White Chocolate Raspberry — they are both so good I cannot decide which I like better. I also ordered a cookie tray and it is full of many different cookies perfect for a family gathering or a Holiday party or then again you may have to get some to take to work. I cannot thank you enough for making my holiday's easier and will be sending in my Christmas order right away so that I do not miss out.

Thank you,
Debbie (Orlando, FL)


Dear A&J Bakery,
I would like to thank you for the delicious cookie tray you made for me and my family.  It was a big hit for Thanksgiving and a big relief for me not having to do all that baking... Will be placing another order for Christmas.  Also I think that the cookies will make great gifts for friends and relatives for any occasion!!!!!!!  Look forward to during more business with you.

Thank You,
Pam (Shortsville, NY)


 

Dear A&J Bakery 
I have bought both the biscotti and also the cookie tray for Thanksgiving. Also got many different kinds of biscotti for friends that asked for them. They are the best Biscotti I have ever had and I have been told by all who have had them there were also the best. I have many who want to order more for the holidays. The cookie tray was really good, with a good variety of cookies plus not the usual cookies you find in a tray.   Great as a gift or if you need to take something to a friend’s house for a visit. Or if you need to send someone a little something as a thank you. Once you try the cookies you can take it from me you will order more.

Thank you again for the beautiful and delicious first communiion cake. Everyone loved it. It made Sabrina's day even more special.

Thank You,

Dear A&J Bakery

The cake was wonderful.  The kids loved it and so did all the parents. I had forgotten that two of the guests also have a peanut and a tree nut allergy.  The parents of the other children with allergies were so glad that they could relax and  breathe a sigh of relief because they didn't have to worry about the kids eating the cake, having to bring something else or any type of meltdown because their child couldn't have the cake.

Thank you to A&J Bakery.

Dear A&J Bakery
 
Just wanted you to know that the cake you made for our son Vinny's birthday (had a lion on the front), was a huge hit with all our guests! And Vinny loved it - he is allergic to peanuts and usually can't have cake. This was such a treat for him! Also, the cookies we ordered are absolutely delicious...you have a wonderful business and we are so grateful to you for providing nut-free bakery items that are so terrific. We'll definitely be back for more!
 
Sincerely, Jane, John, and Vinny Centrella

Hi Joe!
Just wanted to say thank you for Liam's Tom & Jerry cake. He loved it. I passed out your cards to other parents including one of my neighbors. I'll be contacting you later to order some sort of candy for Christmas.
Thanks again!

Thank you so much for being a nut free bakery. My 3 year old son is allergic to peanuts and we always feel terrible about not being able to give him special bakery treats but now we can!! And what a great place to send my family to pick up goodies for parties - no more panic when he reaches for dessert.

HI,
I just wanted to thank you so much for offering the Gingerbread kits this holiday season.  We had a great time putting it together and decorating it.  Andrew really enjoyed the whole experience.  We always make a Gingerbread house every year, but this is the first year that we knew about Andrews nut allergies.  I was searching all over for a House that was nut free and couldn't find one.  I was so happy went I visited  the bakery and found out about your kits.  As a parent of a child with a food allergy, you are always doing everything  you can to not only keep your child safe and healthy, but to make their lives as normal as possible.  Your bakery helps us tremendously. Thank you for helping us be able to carry on a Christmas tradition!
I will be in for the cinnamon buns...they sound great!
Thanks, take care and see you soon,

A&J Bakery,
You can tell I am not too expert in using frosting/icing! We had a lot of fun making the gingerbread houses and deciding the "perfect" placement of the candies and decorations.
Thank you again!

Best,

I want to personally thank you guys so much for creating a bakery for
food allergic people.  My son has had severe mutiple food allergies his whole
life and has never had a birthday cake.  You have made his birthday the best and
I am so thankful.  We would have cakes for him in the past then let him blow out
the candles then take the cake away.  That was always the worst part for me. 
But you made it so I didnt have to take it away and he absolutely LOVED it. 
Thank you so much.  I first came across your booth at the FAAN walk last year
and I am one happy mom today.  Again thank you so much and will be ordering more
goodies from you all.  I would love to send a pitchure of him eating his cake if
wanted to post it on your site.  Again thank you for a very special day.
Thank You,   Ann-Marie

I wanted to tell you how much everyone loved the peanut, milk, and egg free
chocolate chunk cookies at the Whelan School Dance.  I am sure this will be my
job at all the functions to get these cookies.  My husband told me you now have
milk and egg free brownies as well.  I can't wait to try them!!

Thank you for making me able to have something my daughter could have and not
feel left out with the other kids.  You always want to see your kids happy and
when there isn't a dessert for them it really makes you feel bad.

Joe and Amy,

The beautiful golf cake you made for our son's 4th birthday was a HUGE hit!  It
was nut, dairy and egg-free and to the disbelief of most it was absolutely
delicious!  Each of the kids at the birthday table described what they liked
most about it...the frosting, the green part, the chocolate part, the golf ball
part, and on and on!  Even the adults enjoyed every bite.  Three kids and one
adult had food allergies and no adverse reactions!  You truly have a talent for
allergen-free baking.  Thanks for filling this need in our community!!

Hi - I just wanted to let you know that the dairy-free chocolate cake
with white icing was a huge hit at our family reunion in Maine this past
weekend. Everyone loved it because of its rich chocolate taste and wonderfully
moist texture plus it looked pretty the way you decorated
it in fall colors to celebrate the multiple anniversaries. So
thank you very much and we will surely be the designated
cake bearers when we visit these family members who reside in Rochester, NY. As
long as we can have some of this delicious cake, we will be happy to take it
along!

Hello and Happy Thanksgiving:

This was fun!! We used the second recipe with egg and added some teaspoons of water (instead of vinegar) because it was too hard. The first recipe was not successful (allergen free).

An hour and a half later we have this wonderful creation.  Our daughter enjoyed very much!!
Thank you for helping to keep Isabella safe!!
Cordially,

We made our house this weekend and it came out wonderfully.  My daughter was so happy and what a relief this year because she could actually touch all the items and eat the frosting and cookie portion without worry.  Thank you so much for making a great product and doing it "right".  Your sugar cookies, chocolate chip cookies and brownies were a hit also that I ordered.  Please keep making your goodies so we can keep ordering.  Have a wonderful Christmas season from our home to yours!!!!

I want to thank you for the wonderful, tasty cake that you had made for my 31st birthday. I have multiple food allergies, and me, my mom, and my family have been scrambling for years to find a bakery just for people like me.
Well, my mom came across your site, and ordered my birthday cake, and was very happy to have found you. When we ate the cake, it was delicious, even better than the regular cakes. I am very thankful for your business, and I hope you are
around for ever, and even become a huge chain someday. Thank you for everything you do for people like me, to be able to eat cake and goodies, just like everyone, else.
Sincerely,
Maya
