Tell us about the cakes available in the bakery. Do you have any special flavors available for the holidays? Are any flavors especially popular? We have a variety of cakes in our showcases. Some of our offerings are our world famous Doberge cake, which we have all chocolate or half chocolate, half lemon. We also have specialty cakes including red velvet, strawberry, German chocolate, and coconut. Some of our best sellers include our white almond cake.
How does the Gambino’s staff prepare for the holiday season? Our staff begins to prepare in the early fall for the holidays, from making sure we have enough ingredients to making sure we have enough employees at all times.
Do you have any general tips for people hosting holiday parties about how to make things run smoothly, especially when it comes to food? We try to keep a variety of items in our showcases at all times, but it is best to order ahead to guarantee availability. For holidays, the sooner, the better to place your order. I would allow about 36 hours in advance to place an order but cannot be guaranteed.
When hosting, let Gambino's take care of all your sweet needs. We have such a variety of items that we can help make any occasion perfect.
