Review of Haydel's Bakery

Haydel s was a dream to work with for our wedding....

Haydel s was a dream to work with for our wedding. I am allergic to all nuts and got worried because, in New Orleans, it s common to use almond paste for the cake, but Haydel s immediately understood and said they could make the cake out of pound cake, which was delicious! In our first visit, Cindy brought out slices of the cake with different fillings to try for both of us and our moms and Cindy sat with us, explaining all of the different styles of cake. Cindy was so patient and charming and it was a pleasure to work with her. At the wedding, the cake looked beautiful and our guests enjoyed it. As a Brooklyn, New York-based LGBT couple planning a wedding in New Orleans, we needed vendors who were organized and responsive and also accepting and Haydel's delivered. We would highly recommend Haydel s as they made the cake process easy and enjoyable. (Definitely get the pineapple filling it was our favorite!)
