About

This is a special place, the kind you remember, but can never find. By the Way is an old-fashioned bakery where everything is made by hand, from scratch, in small batches. Oh, by the way, all our baked goods are gluten and dairy free. They're also certified kosher pareve. But most important, our wedding cakes and other desserts are all beautiful and delicious.

Amazing customer service, vision, and of course, cake!

From start to finish, the owner, Helene, was directly involved in our wedding cake order and made sure it was perfect. I had ordered from the bakery for our engagement a few years back for some dietary needs of our guests, and I enjoyed the cake very much and returned for wedding cake. There were many things about our wedding that were "outside the box" (no swatches mailed with the dress color or florist, for example), and Helene was super understanding about the cultural differences of our south asian wedding and worked with us to get the cake just right to both her vision as a culinary artist, and our own vision! She was super kind and understanding of my lack of experience with wedding cake ordering and very flexible. She even went out of her way to call our venue when there was some confusion with the delivery time. Not only was our cake delicious, but it was also stunning. Our cake came with two pre-packaged delicious snacks that we enjoyed after our reception and that was nice surprise! Overall a great experience working with the bakery and especially Helene.

Delicious Gluten Free Cake!

If you're looking for a gluten-free (/diary-free/kosher) cake, By the Way Bakery is the best! I love cake, so needless to say I was excited for my wedding cake. What's more, my husband has Celiac disease, so it was important to me that we have a gluten-free cake. I also had big dreams of having a funfetti cake. By the Way knocked it out of the ball park. Owner Helene was so easy to communicate with and patient as we made up our mind on the frosting design. It came out beautifully and tasted delicious. Guests loved the cake and raved about it—without even knowing it was gf/df. One of the best and easiest decisions of our whole wedding planning process!

Super friendly and tasty kosher cake!

Let me start by saying I had a lot of trouble deciding what I wanted in terms of a wedding cake. My husband and I don’t keep kosher, but we needed a kosher bakery to make sure the meal would be OK for our kosher guests. Our caterer was already providing a variety of desserts, so we were thinking of a small sweetheart cake, but also needed something big enough to meet the delivery minimum. Helene is genuinely the sweetest lady and was so patient with me when I kept changing my mind! Eventually we decided on a 2-tier cake, with each tier a different flavor (though I do wish there were more flavors to choose from). She worked hard to make sure we got exactly the design and colors we wanted. The end result was a beautiful piece that guests kept coming up to get a look at. Plus it was so yummy – we’ve been working on the leftovers and our family agree that it tastes even better than a traditional cake! We’re so glad we picked By the Way Bakery, and definitely recommend them if you’re looking for wedding goodies to meet special dietary needs.
