Ladydee's Cakery 8.0
Morningside Heights
Ladydee's Cakery is a by-appointment custom cake studio tucked just off St. Nicholas Avenue, where elaborate themed cakes, cupcakes, and candy are made in small batches. It’s more production kitchen than walk-in bakery, used by locals who want hand-decorated cakes tailored to specific themes and colors.
Must-Try Dishes: Strawberry Cupcakes, Custom Character Cakes, Assorted Candy and Chocolate Treats
