Caroline's Cakes 7-Layer Caramel Cake
“Cutting into this 7-layer caramel cake was dreamy. The layers are really impressive,” says Mary. “The cake has very delicate sponge layers with generous layers of dense, sugary caramel.”
“The natural icing pattern had several family members asking if I made the cake myself,” Mary adds. “The cake received several compliments on its taste, and people wanted to know where I’d gotten it. It was a big hit with my family, who loved the caramel flavor.”
The cake bites from Caroline’s Cakes are just as delightful as their larger, multi-layered cousins. Deputy Shopping Editor Katie Bandurski tried their small-yet-mighty lemon cake bites and loved the zippy, bright flavors of the lemon curd and buttercream. But if you’re not into lemon, don’t worry—there are other flavors to choose from, like the brand’s famous caramel!
Junior's Original Cheesecake
There’s cheesecake, and then there’s Junior’s cheesecake. Anyone who’s had even a single bite of this decadent dessert from this iconic Brooklyn restaurant knows there’s just no comparison—unless you’re comparing one Junior’s cheesecake to another, that is! Taste of Home contributor and native New Yorker Barbara Bellesi Zito says, “A slice of cheesecake from Junior’s is always a good idea, but an entire cake is even better. Sure, Junior’s has a whole dessert case of options, but I’m always drawn to the deliciously creamy original cheesecake with a spongecake bottom. It’s heaven on a plate.”
The Original Boston Cream Pie
No offense to the Boston Kreme donut, but there’s nothing like digging into an actual Boston Cream Pie. And not one from just any bakery, but from the Omni Parker House Hotel in Boston, where the first slice was served back in 1856. This golden cake—yup, it’s not actually a pie—is filled with luscious pastry cream and topped with chocolate. It can serve 10 to 12 people, but we won’t blame you if you decide to cut larger slices instead.
Oprah's Favorite Red Velvet Layer Cake
Carousel Cakes is all about keeping it real—simple recipes, handmade with only the finest ingredients. After all, there’s a reason they landed on Oprah’s famous “O” List.
The red velvet cake, with its subtle hint of chocolate and its deep-red hue, is finished with a thick swirl of pure cream cheese frosting. One bite, and you’ll understand why everyone’s obsessed with this take on a Southern classic.
The Hummingbird Cake
You don’t need to be airborne to enjoy biting into the Hummingbird Cake from Savannah’s Candy Kitchen. This fruity cake comes jam-packed with bananas, pecans, and pineapple, finished off with smooth cream cheese frosting. This crowd-pleasing favorite is an excellent addition to both holiday celebrations and summertime get-togethers alike!
JFK's Wedding Cake
JFK’s wedding cake is a show-stopping gift for bakers and history buffs alike. Boasting ample layers of white cake, raspberry preserves, raspberry frosting and vanilla buttercream, this luxury dessert is sure to leave an impression (and never an empty stomach).
“The texture of the cake was light and fluffy. It wasn’t overly moist, which worked well with the fillings,” says reviewer Molly Allen. “It was beautifully balanced between the white cake, filling and frosting.”
Mortgage Apple Cakes
Model and actress Angela Logan originally sold her home-baked apple cake after being faced with foreclosure. Thus, Mortgage Apple Cakes was born! Moist, delicious and surrounded by a delightful cream cheese frosting, Mortgage Apple Cakes are a delightful treat during fall, winter or whenever. Just don’t expect it to last more than a few days—it’s hard to eat just one slice!
Cinnamon Walnut Coffee Cake
Known for their classic Slovenian povitica, Strawberry Hill Bakery has been tempting tastebuds since 1908. While they’re famous for their swirled pastries, their patrons can attest to the fantastic quality of the cinnamon walnut coffee cake. This classic cold-weather breakfast brings a touch of tangy sour cream along with a thick ribbon of cinnamon sugar in the center.
Angelina's of Maryland Smith Island Cake
“People think Maryland is just about crabs and seafood (OK, it is phenomenal here), but Angelina’s of Maryland is iconic,” says Content Director Nicole Doster. The Smith Island cake originates from Maryland’s only inhabited island in the Chesapeake Bay. It features nine (!!!) layers of ultra-thin yellow cake separated by cooked chocolate icing—a total crowd-pleaser.
Giant Sweet Potato Pound Cake
Sweet potato is the ultimate autumn ingredient, but why settle for a boring old pie? The Giant Sweet Potato Pound Cake from Southern Girl Desserts is warm, decadent and oh so memorable. Spices like cinnamon and nutmeg along with a drizzle of cream cheese icing give it a fall feel that’s perfect for cozy nights in.
Brooklyn Blackout Cake
Brooklyn’s bustling streets house quite a few bakeries, but Brooklyn Blackout Company is easily one of the most famous. Originally sold by the now-defunct Ebinger’s storefront, their chocolatey buttercream Blackout Cake is a recreation of the original 1970s lost recipe. Try a taste of historical Brooklyn without ever leaving the comfort of home with this storied favorite.
While I haven’t tried their customer-favorite cake, I did receive a dozen of their Blackout Cookies from Goldbelly’s cookie of the month club. Spoiler: I totally understand why customers sing this bakery’s praises!
Martha Stewart's Salted Caramel Chocolate Cake
Craving something creamy, gooey and oh-so-decadent? Martha’s salted caramel chocolate cake is just the thing. With six layers of rich chocolate cake sandwiched between layers of salted caramel and flaked sea salt on top, this indulgent dessert is anything but ordinary. As a bonus, ordering one of these Goldbelly cakes won’t cost you a penny for shipping.
Ina Garten's Coconut Cake
Ina Garten’s coconut cake might be one of the most popular Goldbelly desserts there is—for good reason. Developed by the Barefoot Contessa herself, each snow-white cake holds layers of fluffy white cake, coconut flakes and tangy cream cheese icing. Choose from either a 6-inch cake that feeds up to 8 guests or a bigger 8-inch cake for up to 12. It also makes a great gift for families!
Duff Goldman's Vintage Lemon Blueberry Cake
Love lemony desserts? Then you need to partake in a slice of Duff Goldman’s vintage lemon blueberry cake. Bursting with flavor thanks to four layers of lemon cake studded with whole blueberries, this bright and cheery cake makes an excellent birthday cake delivery for friends and family.
Carlo's Bakery Rainbow Cake
Carlo’s Bakery was founded by Carlo Guastaffero in Hoboken, New Jersey, in 1910. Since then, the family-owned bakery skyrocketed to fame with the help of the TLC show “Cake Boss,” starring Buddy Valastro. This rainbow cake is one of their most popular offerings, due in large part to the mesmerizing and colorful layers containing a signature sweet vanilla icing. Enjoy this six-layered behemoth in as few as two days when you order it on Goldbelly—no cake decorating supplies required!
