I, along with a few others, organized an office celebration today. It would seem we are always finding reasons for cake in our office. My coworker went to Cuccio's this morning and bought two cakes for the office party. One chocolate frosting with yellow cake in the middle and the other cake is mocha frosting of the same version of the cake. People were interested in the Mocha cake so it was several pieces cut out of it before someone noticed something odd. It was green in the center of the cake….Is it food coloring? No! IT WAS MOLD. OMG. There was mold in the center of the Mocha cake! It was disgusting. If we put the cake back together the center of the cake which about the size of my fist is all green and moldy. That is a lot of mold! It takes some time to grow mold that big in the center of a cake! I would never get cake here again! Looks like the cake was contaminated with mold spores already when it was being assembled. There was nothing on the outside of the cake. I am just speculating but from the physical evidence, it looks as such. The chocolate version of the cake is not fresh either. The cake is dry and hard. The cake was not moist at all. Ugh. In the garbage it went.
My coworker and I called the bakery to let them know what happened. My coworker was so embarrassed by the whole situation since she is a bit more sensitive than me about these situations. My coworker felt like it was her fault…I had to remind her, she is not the one who made the cake! It was Cuccio's!! Both of us were on the phone speaking to the manager on the other side of the phone. We explained the whole situation about how we bought two cakes this morning and when we cut into the Mocha cake, there was mold in the center of the cake. The manager said, " I know, I know, I know." I was in shock and my jaw dropped. The manager said there has been a refrigeration problem and he knows already. SAY WHAT?! My coworker said to the manager, if you (manager) knew there is an issue with the refrigeration, why would you sell me the cake?! AMEN TO THAT, SISTER! Let's just say, we are not happy with Cuccio's. I hope she realizes not to trust Cuccio's anymore. If a bakery knows there is an issue with the refrigeration, they should not be selling their cakes. It can make someone sick! This is awful. My coworker is still so embarrassed for presenting Cuccio's cakes to the office. I would chalk it up as lesson learned, NO MORE Cuccio's especially if this is how they do business. Yuck.
Has become my all time favorite bakery!
About a month ago the baker had come through for me the day before my daughters bday in daycare. Personalized cupcakes for an extremely fair price!
As well as my new favorite donut comes from this place. It is a nutella filled donut that sells out by 8am and they charge only $1.25 for this donut which is well worth it. It is at least $2.50-3.00 piece.
If you are within 5 miles of this place it is worth the travel! message me a sweet thank you or ask me for my address to send me delicious stuff from here.
Open early. Fresh bakes and goodies coming out of the oven. Owner is a total charmer & great service!
Great prices and you can get yourself a quick pastry and coffee for less that $3. Its open around 6am for the early birds and I'm not sure what time they close but I enjoy coming here to fulfill my sweet tooth.
I enjoyed the croissant with chocolate inside since I'm a chocolate fanatic ! I also ordered a fruit cake from them and it was really good and fresh. The cannolis are suppose to be one of the best, haven't tried them out yet but they look really good from the window.
Good convenient fresh neighborhood bakery that's been around for decades!
They don't skimp on portion size here! Red velvet cupcakes were very moist and icing wasn't too dense. The fruit tarts were okay… the glaze that holds the fruit together could have been a little bit less watery.
I practically grew up on Cuccio's Bakery! Every and any event /family gathering there was always a Cuccio's box (or 2) on the Kitchen counter or
Table for us to enjoy. For the longest time I thought Cuccio's was the only bakery in Brooklyn. Haha!
The buns ( breakfast pastries) are the best around Brooklyn. Still made with an old fashioned flare. The dough , even though fried, light & delicious. All the buns available are amazing…one better than another!
The pastries? Delicious. Everything you can think of- they have. Both mini and full size. Cakes? They're great. All different cakes -flavors and sizes. And the bread….oh, the bread!! Brings a smile to my face just typing this- the bread is phenomenal. They even have an old bread slicing machine to slice a loaf for you. Though I rather take the loaf as is. Try the bread!
Though time has passed and things have changed , Cuccio's still provides an old skool vibe. Check out some of the old pix on the walls! Every time I'm in the area I like to stop by.
The only thing- BRING CASH!!!!
My grandma and Ma have been going here for centuries… Everything is always fresh and delicious. Rainbow cookies, cheesecakes, red velvet cake. And they have Italian ices in the summer! Love love love
Cuccio's serves up typical Italian and American pastries, cookies, and cakes that you find around Brooklyn. It's certainly on par with most of the bakeries in the south Brooklyn area in regards to quality and prices. I picked up platter of cookies and a cupcake. The cupcake had a balanced consistency between lightness and denseness; the icing was rich. My only critic is that the visibility of some of the goods was blocked by counter space.
Typically, I need to here a few times once I am home during break! Staff is always really friendly and everything I have ever gotten from here is delicious.
The main reason I frequent visit Cuccio's is mostly for their unique rainbow cakes! I like buying 2-3 pounds to take back to my campus! Their rainbow cake are not only three layers like other place. I believe Cuccio's has 6 or 7 layers (If I stop stuff my face with them, I might be able to count them). Also if you have the room I would also recommend the red velvet cupcake or the cannoli!
