Party Cake Shop

We got authentic Cannoli which were 💯 better than the other "famous" bakery in the South Hills. They were at least double in size, totally filled and were . 25 less each. I sometimes overlook Party Cake Bakery because I shop a lot in the South Hills. From now on they are my bakery. Highly recommend! Their Almond Tort Cake is amazing as well.

No paczkis today. Sold out until Tuesday, today is Saturday. Picked up an assortment cream cheese danish, apple fritter, and some other donuts. Let's not forget the loaf of Italian bread, I like mine unsliced. Stood in line for about 50 minutes, but what do you expect at 8am on Saturday morning here. Donuts were solid, cream cheese danish very good. Looking forward to making a Dagwood with the Italian loaf.

Visiting the Party Cake Shop is like reading the sweetest romance, such as If The Shoe Fits by Julie Murphy. From the storefront to the interior with glistening display cases filled with sweets (and savory options), the focus is clearly on the deliciousness.

I walked in, searching for a half dozen of doughnuts to rival all doughnuts, and I walked out with that half dozen plus a pepperoni roll and an individual burnt almond torte.

For me, doughnut shops (and bakeries alike) are judged by their Boston Creme doughnut. I look for one-of-a-kind doughnuts (so they're not perfect) that are plump with custard with a great chocolate frosting. Party Cake Shop did not disappoint; in fact, I'd say that have reorganized my hierarchy of doughnut deliciousness, claiming the #2 spot! Pricing is reasonable and quite good for this level of drooling goodness.

My boyfriend prefers apple fritters, and he was impressed with the flavor and sweetness in ratio with size, saying usually it's one of the other — but Party Cake Shop managed both taste and size!

Just like any other doughnut consumer, I truly believe that I'm the connoisseur when it comes to Pittsburgh doughnuts so if you haven't stopped by the Party Cake Shop, you're truly missing out.

Pro Tip: create a list of doughnuts you want before you arrive at 6:20 am with groggy eyes (it's a lot to make 6 decisions that early)

P.S. The Burnt Almond Torte offered a frothy sweet confection with delectably crunchy almonds, and I didn't want to finish my half of the cake so I ate it as slow as possible. I'll be back for more.

Delicious almond biscotti. Perfect texture and flavor.

Beautiful cake and tastes amazing— and to the negative review below my own, the reason many local businesses fail is because of unrealistic expectations. People complain small businesses are disappearing but it’s honestly because of folks not giving businesses the time to refine themselves. If small businesses receive our support, they will grow and improve. But bashing them and throwing a temper tantrum on google reviews rather than getting in contact with the business is subversive.

The bakery is a Brookline staple. It won’t be the same as it was with the previous owners, but it’s the closest we are going to get. 🙃

We used Party Cake Shop for our wedding cake on 5/14/22.

I discussed design and details with their designer, Hayli. She really brought my vision to life so beautifully! The cake tasted great, too -- We got many compliments from our guests. We went with white cake, raspberry filling (yum!), and buttercream icing. Pricing was SO reasonable.

Communication with the bakery was a little tricky for me at first. It is tough to get ahold of them by phone. Once I realized email was the best method of communication, I had no complaints in this department.

One last thing for other brides just to be aware of --- they do NOT deliver. So, make sure to plan ahead!

I could go here every day. This place is easily my favorite local bakery, and I'm grateful to have them just a short walk up the street from me. Everything I've tried here over the past few years have been phenomenal. Their French crullers and pepperoni rolls are my absolute favorites there.

An essential Pittsburgh bakery, and an absolute must during paçzki season! They are THEE best!

The counter person promoted the almond torte. Which was very good indeed. But I was saddened and shocked to not be able to get one of thier famous cheese cakes. It's fluffy light...delicious. No other cheese cake compares. I hope when I return to Brookline they are still there...there weren't many baked goods available...but what was there was delicious...fresh...and so flavorful.

Great fresh breads, awesome donuts and yummy treats. Staff is nice and has a “family bakery” feel that’s disappearing around the city. Close Monday & Tuesdays as of late April 2023.

I stopped in for my friend’s birthday because we heard they were doing paczki for a limited time and thought they’d be a great way to celebrate and they were! I tried the apricot and raspberry which were delicious. I also got one of the doughnut pretzels and will 10/10 be coming back for those whenever I can! The service was also lovely and they were super kind to my friend for their birthday.

I read that Party Cake is THE place to get paczki, so I ordered some for work. Yes, they are absolutely amazing. I actually like the dough more than the filling, which never happens to me. But I want to talk about their apple fritters which are light and airy and simply the best! And their pepperoni rolls and sugar cookies! Everything is outrageously delicious. My new bakery!

I didn't catch the guys name but he's absolutely amazing and made my son's day. If he sees this, we were the ones in our robes lol. You never know how much you help someone by doing such a great deed. You never know when someone really needed that little help. keep being the person you are!! And thank you so much again!

So yummy! The selection and quality of baked goods are top of the line! Don't let the name fool you. They are SO much more than cakes. (Although the cakes are fabulous.) Try the maple iced cinnamon roll. It's a favorite!

We got a whole cake, that was delicious but a bit too sweet (4/5). The oatmeal and raisin cookies were amazing (6/5) . We also got a bread loaf, it was fresh. The staff was courteous. Highly recommend.

They have great baked goods of all kinds, but I love their pepperoni bread, donuts, and cookies! They have amazing cakes, the only place I like toasted almond torte from. Get there early on the weekends if you want a good selection of donuts because they go fast! Closed on Mondays.

Show up on a Wed. Morning with half of Brookline in the store. But there were 5 workers getting through the line with ease. Absolutely amazing donuts, cookies and cake. There were around 7 customers in front of us and it only took about 5 minutes from stepping into the store to walking out. Also with the other bakery not opening until 9am...you can't go wrong with Party Cake. Thanks for the great service and amazing donuts.

This place is super cute and the pastries are wonderful. I went in for a burnt almond torte. It's so good. Never disappoints.

One of the best bakeries in Pittsburgh! Their donuts really are incredible and each cake I've ordered from them has brought so many compliments along with it. Happy to have a community staple like Party Cake Shop.

The people are friendly and the pastries are delicious
