The Magpie in Pictures

Cake & Bakery Gallery

A curated set of cakes, pastries, cookies, savory bakes, and café drinks photographed at The Magpie Bakery.

Every image on this page comes from the bakery's approved album, photographed at the Bloomingdale storefront by Skyland Creative. The album deliberately covers the whole bakery, not just cakes: decorated celebration cakes and cupcakes, fruit tarts and iced pastries, sandwich cookies and sprinkle-dipped biscotti, savory bakes, layered café drinks, and the bakery case itself. It's the most honest picture of what actually comes out of the Magpie kitchen — real bakes, photographed as they were sold.

One thing these photos are not: a live menu. They show past bakery work, and the Magpie case rotates, so a pictured item or design is not guaranteed to be available today. For what's actually in the case right now, use the live menus linked from the ordering guide; for made-to-order designs, the inquiry process below is the path.

How to use the gallery before an inquiry

The most useful thing this album does is give you a shared vocabulary with the bakery. Before you send a custom-cake inquiry, filter the grid to the category you care about, save the photos that feel right, and note what's actually drawing you in — a color palette, a piping style, fresh fruit instead of heavy decoration, a shape, a level of formality. Attaching two or three of those photos to an inquiry, with a line about what you like in each, tells the bakery far more than a long written description. Photos are direction, not a contract: Magpie translates the idea into its own style and confirms what's feasible for your date.

The filters mirror how the bakery thinks about its own work. Cakes collects the decorated celebration pieces, from heart-shaped and wreath-trimmed cakes to berry-topped squares and frosted cupcakes. Pastries holds the tarts, muffins, and crumbles; Cookies the sandwich cookies and dipped biscotti; Savory the filled-bake side of the counter; Drinks the café's layered and iced pours; and Bakery case the wider shots of how it all sits behind the glass. Planning a dessert table rather than a single centerpiece? Browse Cakes and Pastries together — that mix is what most tables end up being.

From the album to your table

If a cake here started an idea, the custom cakes page explains exactly what to send with an inquiry — date, occasion, servings, and the design direction you just gathered. Birthdays, showers, graduations, tiered centerpieces, and decorated cupcakes all move through the same conversation, and the bakery confirms feasibility for your date.

Planning something bigger than one cake? Wedding Desserts covers cakes and full dessert tables for North Jersey couples, and Catering & Corporate Gifts handles the trays, platters, and gift boxes that feed offices and parties. And if the photo that stopped you was a tart, a cookie, or an iced coffee rather than a cake, the everyday version of that craving is a shorter trip — the ordering guide points you to today's live menu.
