Jam Cakery Events — Restaurant in Jersey City

We feel so lucky that we found Tere and Jam Cakery. It took us many tries to find a NY bakery that (1) could make a vegan wedding cake (2) wasn’t way too sickly sweet and (3) was within our budget. I’m an amateur vegan baker, so after 2 no-go cake tastings, I was prepared to give up and make our wedding cake myself – thankfully we found Jam Cakery shortly after and I’m so relieved we did.

Not only is Tere very kind and warm, but she makes really, really good cake. We loved meeting her for our cake tasting, she was so flexible working with us to get the flavors we wanted (we landed on lemon basil cake with fresh strawberries and cream cheese buttercream), and understood our desire to not have the cake be overly sweet. She didn’t balk when we asked for 4 tiers (some bakers we talked to said vegan cake wasn’t structurally sound for that), and she hand delivered our cake on the big day.

Our guests loved our cake, and many of them were shocked that it was vegan.

Unlike so many wedding vendors out there, Jam Cakery doesn’t upcharge for weddings. I look forward to getting future celebration cakes from Tere.

First, I will say that the deserts/ foods are amazing. My only "complaint" is that there have several times where my partner and I have reached out to inquire about an order and have received literally no response. As people who have given this establishment a good amount of business (even referrals), I would have appreciated a response over being completely ignored. I feel that the communication with the head chef is just a bit off. I've experienced this on several occasions. I have verified that my messages are always deliverable and do not go to spam or anything like that. But again, when they ARE responsive, Jam Cakery Events does indeed make great food. Just needs a bit better customer service/...

Jam Cakery is such a gem in the neighborhood!! They have provided the cake for the first birthday of both my children, and both times the cakes were delicious, nut free, and stunning!! We got so many compliments both on the flavors and the design. I don’t have a sweet tooth and yet I found myself eating leftovers.

The owner is also just a fantastic person. She volunteers her time running the local parent support group, and frequently hosts clothing swaps and donation drives, as well as a number of social events for the community. This a wonderful business to support and you will not be disappointed with...
