Simona's Bakery — Restaurant in Wall Township

WOW! I’m so impressed with Simona’s Bakery! They have the largest selection of cupcakes I’ve ever seen at any bakery ever! There must be like around 40 different kinds of cupcakes! They should put them in order chocolates together, pumpkins together, vanillas together, and so on. Another good idea is to have a menu of them to go available so when you go in you can request the ones you want instead of trying to read them all and wasting 40 minutes trying to figure out what ones you are going to buy. I’ve had the pumpkin cheesecake crumb cake from here, and it’s FANTASTIC! Unfortunately, it’s so good it sells out fast! I wanted to buy some more today, but they were already gone. You have buy yourself one, and thank me later! I’ve had the brownie cupcake, red velvet cupcake, pumpkin apple caramel cupcake, and the pumpkin cookie dough cupcake from here so far. All DELICIOUS! Simona makes the BEST pumpkin and red velvet cake I’ve had from a NJ bakery! I know pumpkin is seasonal, but it’s so exceptional here I’d buy it all year round! The chocolate cakes I’ve found to be ok/good. The red velvet cupcake was also a TOP cupcake! It was OUTSTANDING that I highly recommend purchasing the red velvet cake here. I know I’ll definitely be purchasing myself one. I also love how each cupcake is generously filled, and you can tell it’s all high quality ingredients. The apple filling to the pumpkin apple caramel cupcake was amazing! I also purchased a chocolate cake with peanut butter buttercream, and the peanut butter buttercream was delicious! At first I thought the cake wasn’t that moist, but it was only because I cut myself a slice just after it came out of a refrigerated case. Once it reached room temperature after two hours it was very moist. They also have lots of beautiful cakes here for sale too. Another item I tried was the peanut butter brownie. The peanut butter layer was nice and creamy, but the brownie itself I found to be just ok. I like mine more chewy and fudge like. I’ll give it another shot the next time I go. This bakery has a huge selection of desserts, and I’ve just only begun sampling everything. You can check Simona’s bakery on instagram for more pictures. It’s around a 40 min drive for me, but with the unique, DELICIOUS, and huge selection it’s worth the drive! I absolutely love Simona’s Bakery in Sea Girt, and I highly recommend...

I went to Simona in Sea Girt for a custom cake request for my sister’s engagement party. I pass by them a lot and had purchased a few smaller things from them in the past. Long story short they created an incredible and stunning custom cake for me and if you are interested I suggest you proceed with working with them. The cake was stunning, delicious and affordable.

Now for the detailed story - I reached out to them via email two weeks in advance letting them know what I was looking for in a custom cake. They were extremely prompt and emailed me back right away. They set up a time with me to come in and go over what I would like in person (I really appreciated this as it gave me more confidence in being able to talk through what I would like versus conducting it over email or phone). When I showed up at the shop the three women on site were incredibly sweet and informative. Two of them assisted me with my cake order. The third assisted me in picking out some sweets to bring home that day! They were extremely knowledgeable and gave great insight on what I may need. I showed them a few photos of cakes I liked and what I liked from each cake design. I asked if they could merge it into one cake. They had no problem with my detailed requests. I was kind of nervous as I am very particular in what I want, but the end results were amazing! I picked the cake up day of and the staff was great during pick up. My sister was so surprised and all of her guest’s couldn’t stop taking photos of it (some attached). They also wouldn't stop talking about how delicious it was (equally as important).

Extra notes, the cost was very affordable especially for the quality of work! I plan on using them for all of my future cake needs. I am honestly in shock over how incredible my experience was with Simona and I would suggest working with them for your...

I ordered a pistachio cake for a friend's birthday and was extremely disappointed with everything. I initially called and was told $47 for a 7 inch round cake pistachio butter cream inside and out with pistachio cake. When I confirmed I wanted the cake I asked about nuts on the outside of the cake. Ahe offered them sprinkled on top, around the base or up the sides. I asked for up the sides and imagined super fine chopped nuts up the sides. I was told my price was now $55. No problem. Nuts are expensive and this is going to take some time.

Well I go to pick up said cake and as you can see from the photo I did not get what I was expecting by any means and it was now $59. The girl who was helping me didn't really have any answers as to why they were whole nuts so a different girl interrupted kind of aggressively and said "the girl who took the order and the cake decorator obviously had some miscommunication because the cake decorator would never agree to do that because the nuts are too heavy to put up the sides"

I didn't question that bs response I simply just asked if there were atleast nuts inside the cake and she said no it's just a paste. I have never once had anything nut flavored with zero nuts inside. I feel as though I personally could have gone to shoprite and made a better cake myself for the same amount of money if not less.

I'm also just having a really hard time understanding how whole nuts weigh less than chopped nuts?

It looks like a toddler decorated the cake with the nuts.

I was very disappointed and it was obvious and they offered zero solution couldn't even take the $8 off that they charged me extra for $2 worth of nuts. When it very clearly was not what I asked for.

When it comes to the cake... the pistachio butter cream tasted like regular butter cream and the cake had a HINT of pistachio.

Extremely...
