The Brooklyn Blackout cupcake was to die for!! It was soo rich, gooey, moist, chocolatey and fudgey. I was looking through the display and deciding what I wanted and another customer said "Their Brooklyn Blackout cupcake is literally the best" and boy was she right. Every bite felt like a heavenly delight! I saved some for the next day and it was still so moist. How do they get their desserts to be so moist?!

I heard that this store was closing in July due to increasing rent by the landlord.....BASTARDS.

8" cake for $56. Flavor was alright. Cake was dry though. As if it had been sitting in the fridge for too long. Disappointing.

Holy moly - needed an apple pie and couldn’t find one in other bakeries in the neighborhood. Was expecting an afterthought but wow was it good - thank you Ladybird - we will be back!

Ordered a 12 inch round cake ($103) for my sister's bridal shower and the cake was beautiful, delicious, and very affordable! It made for a beautiful table center piece and there was plenty of cake to go around for our 30 person event. Everyone especially loved the raspberry buttercream in between the layers! I was able to place a phone order a week before the event. Ladybird Bakery's site is clear and straightforward to follow regarding custom cake orders. Their staff was able to answer any additional questions I had, specifically regarding the flower placements on the cake - they directed me to send an email with a photo reference for the design and colors. The pickup process was seamless, as I just had to let them know my name and cake order. They had a breadth of other pastries as well that I'm looking forward to trying on my next visit! 10/10 would recommend!!

Shhh... Ladybird is basically Two Little Red Hens. Don't tell. (You can Google it to learn more.) My boyfriend and I stopped in and grabbed a Brooklyn blackout cupcake, 4-inch Brooklyn blackout cake, and lemon bar. Lemon bar and cake were both perfection. You can skip the cupcake. In my now-nonexistent review of 2LRH, I went on and on about how you can't emulate the layers of cake in a cupcake, and that holds true here. I am 99% sure that the cake recipe is the same here as at 2LRH, which is to say it is the absolute bar for all chocolate cake. (The bakery also has a similar layout, with jars of cookies with handwritten signs, etc.) Need more of that cake immediately!!

I have been buying birthday cakes for my family here for about 7 years now and the last cake that I ordered was suppose to have a chocolate mouse filling but instead it tasted like thick frosting and the yellow cake was not completely baked. It was a big disappointment that no one in my family enjoyed my mom's 65th birthday cake; not even the kids.

Best chocolate cake in Manhattan - because honestly, you need to go to Brooklyn if you want decent baked goods.The pecan tart was amazing too.
Excellent Park Slope neighborhood bakery with the usual muffins, coffee etc.that you would expect. However their cakes are really outstanding!! The Brooklyn Blackout Cake is a Much Better Version of a classic 1940's - 1970’s? Brooklyn cake from now long gone Ebingers Bakery. Their carrot cake is also one of the best I've ever had. The local Union Market chain n Park Slope carry their cakes in their fresh bakery sections because they know their products are consistently of excellent quality. If you are nearby, don't miss the chance to try them
Got a carrot cake for my partner here for her birthday and it was great. That's all.

Maybe I came on an off day but the 2 large fruit tarts I purchased were a white sugar lovers dream. Even the pie crust was super sweet. I won't bother bashing the filling but I suspect it is prepared restaurant supply grade similar to what you'd find at Jetro.

Terrible experience of rudeness with the counter staff. They’re in need of an attitude adjustment.
