Delicious & beautifully designed! Corina the owner/baker is awesome to work with. She has great creativity, professionalism, and a wonderful sense of flavors that go together. Our wedding cake's favors (lemon cake with raspberry filling) was a perfect combination for our summer venue. I highly recommend Taste and give them 5-stars! Thank you! -Jennifer T (June, 2012)
We were very excited to use Taste. because we had heard such great things. Trust me, they did not disappoint. We first emailed Corina about 8 months in advance. We made an appointment, and I had to cancel at the last minute. Corina was so accommodating though, and she quickly rescheduled at a convenient time for us even though the bakery was closed! When we got there, we didn’t have anything in particular that we were looking for, and the basic flavor options she offered us were all delicious; we would have been happy with any of them. Through conversation though, it came out that we were both huge peanut butter and chocolate fans. Corina quickly ran to the back to bring out a peanut butter frosting. The minute it hit our lips, we were sold. Made from a cream cheese base, it was the most delicious peanut butter anything I had ever eaten. We soon decided to go with a chocolate cake with two layers of peanut butter frosting and one layer of cream cheese frosting with peanut butter cups in it. I could not believe that we were getting the cake of my confectionary dreams! As we discussed the décor, Corina suggested a simple design incorporating a hint of our bright green accent color and the black and white anemones from my bouquet.
When we arrived at our venue, we couldn’t wait to see the finished product. It was gorgeous. The sleek design captured the exact mood of the event. It was sophisticated yet fun, expertly-executed with a hint of pizazz. We just loved it. The flowers and green stripe perfectly matched my bouquet and were a perfect accompaniment to the décor. When the cake was finally served, it was DELICIOUS. Our guests raved about it all night, the next day, and still talk about it months later! We’re counting down the days till we can tear into our cake top, only 7 months to go!
Thank you so much!!

We had a great experience working with Corina at Taste! When we arrived for our first consultation, we were unsure of what type of cake we wanted for our New Years Eve wedding. Corina loved our wedding date and theme so she ran with it, creating an incredible 3-tier silver and gold accented black wedding cake. She was just as enthusiastic and excited as we were, which made the whole experience so much fun! Corina and the bakers at Taste! also created small passed desserts which our guests loved-- they were the perfect end to our meal. Aside from the clean, modern and whimsical design of her desserts, everything was delicious!

I have known Corina since she started in Syosett... She has made many special occasion cakes for me including 2 over the top bar/bat mitzvah cakes. Corina is beyond creative. I gave her my theme and she sketched an idea which was translated to a cake!!! Everything she makes tastes as good as it looks which is not always the case!

When we were interviewing bakers for our wedding cake we were looking for more than just delicious cake, we were looking for someone who would share our vision and be just as excited about our wedding as we were. We found that experience at Taste. Corina and the staff there were wonderful, energetic and welcoming.
We had some pretty outrageous ideas for a truly unique wedding cake, and not only did she listen to us but she saw our vision and was able to add her own touches to create a cake that was truly outstanding. Even the staff at the venue were remarking that they had never seen a cake like ours. The cake itself was delicious, and Corina even created a unique cake filling for us that all our guests enjoyed.
Even to today our relationship with Taste bakery and Corina continues. Anytime there is a family event or holiday, our first though when it comes to dessert is to stop by Taste and pick out something for the event. In fact, sometimes we stop by for no reason at all to pick up some delicious treats! The cookies, cake pops, cake tartuffo and other specialty items are all wonderful!

I went to Corina for my special cake knowing that she would come up with something wonderful. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine the amazing, creative, totally me cake that she and her staff at Taste. would create for my 50th birthday party. My guests were astounded that it was a cake. Some assumed it was a centerpiece. Her attention to detail is beyond anything I have ever experienced before. She collected items from me (the shoe boxes) to make sure her recreation was authentic. She noticed a shoe charm that I always wear on a chain around my neck and recreated it without me even knowing about it. She designed a personalized logo for the flip flop. Always knowing exactly what would make this cake pop. And this is just the outside. What was inside was pure heaven! I could choose any flavor cake, any flavor filling. Mine was chocolate cake with salted caramel filling. Beyond delicious! My big birthday was a very special day which was made all the more amazing by the wonderful creation of Corina and her staff. I would never consider going anywhere else for a special occasion cake.

Corina is my go-to cake artist! I first worked with her in 2012, when she made my son's 1st Birthday cake, and I wanted an exact replica of a meaningful ornament to serve as the cake topper. She delivered beautifully! Since then, she has done every birthday and major milestone in our growing family's life. Of note, she offers a gluten-free cake that is indistinguishable from non-gluten-free cakes. I can't say enough about her. Both a gifted artist and a true professional, Corina is the best! We love Taste. !

"Corina and her team are able to take any idea you may have and translate it into a cake that looks and tastes incredible! Her creations are a part of all of our family celebrations now."
- Cara and Jared Kaplan
Corina and team created a beautiful work of art for my son's 1st birthday. They made a life-size, three dimensional red wagon. Throughout the process Corina listened and understood my expectation. The finished product exceeded them all. The cake looked so real that many of our party guests thought it was a toy. The cake tasted delicious. In addition to the cake the team made wonderful sugar cookie party favors. The cookies were decorated with a red wagon and were absolutely amazing. We recommend Taste to all our family and friends and will definitely use them in the future. -Carissa Jordan 2015
Working with Taste has been an absolute pleasure and the “icing on the cake” for our family memories. Most recently, Corina over delivered on the special cake she prepared for my daughter’s First Communion. My request was for it to be simple, sweet and elegant! The only thing prettier that day was my precious daughter! I never thought a cake that beautiful could also taste so delicious. It was an absolute showstopper. I am planning a Surprise Party for my Mom’s birthday and can’t wait to see what Taste comes up with next! Thank you Taste and Corina! -J Brown 5/2015
