About and visit notes

For residents of Monmouth County and the entire Jersey Shore region, a special occasion is incomplete without a centerpiece cake that is as memorable as the event itself. Cameo Cakes Gourmet Bakery Llc in Brielle, NJ, has spent years establishing itself as the premier local authority on custom confectionery, moving well beyond the simple definition of a 'bakery' to become an institution for celebratory desserts.

This is not a mass-production shop; it is a gourmet bakery where craft and flavor are paramount. While they offer a wide variety of daily baked treats—from their highly-praised, buttery cookies and famous crumb cake to an assortment of pastries—their reputation is built on their custom-designed cakes. Whether you are planning a grand coastal wedding or a unique birthday party requiring a very specific, ambitious design, Cameo Cakes and its owner, often referred to as 'Joyce,' are known for taking on intricate requests with creativity and professionalism, ensuring every custom order meets a high standard of quality.

The sentiment from long-time customers speaks volumes. One patron, comparing their experience to one of the most famous bakeries in New Jersey, stated that the quality of cakes and pastries at Cameo Cakes runs a "very close second" to the renowned Carlo’s Bakery in Hoboken. This high praise underscores the commitment to excellence in both taste and freshness, with signature items like their carrot cake being noted as a consistent family favorite. Cameo Cakes is a truly local gem, a cornerstone of sweet indulgence for the Brielle community and surrounding areas.

    Joyce is a local gem. I couldn’t find anyone in the Jersey Shore area to make a custom Spice Girls cake for my birthday. And then we found Cameo Cakes. Joyce consulted with us and took all of my reference pictures into consideration. It was last minute and I knew I was going to have to add my own embellishments because it was a tall ask, but Joyce created an amazing foundation for me to have fun with and the flavor and price point were unbeatable. All my guests asked who made the delicious cake!! 🩷

    This place is the Best! The owners are the sweetest and always very accommodating with helping us plan for our special events. I grew up from childhood until my early adulthood frequently visiting & ordering cakes and pastries from Carlo’s Bakery in Hoboken. They don’t call Buddy Valastro The Cake Boss for nothing. His cakes were always amazing. Cameo Bakery runs a very close second. Always super fresh and absolutely delicious. I’ve been ordering from them for about 13 years. They never disappoint. One of our family favorites is the carrot cake. Truly all of the cakes & pastries are just yummy!

    Thank you so much! I went in 5 days before our graduation party. She understood my dilemma and provided me with the best looking/tasting cookies with Penn State logo I could have asked for! Appreciate your help in making our sons party a success!
