Our story · Since 1989
Crafted for celebrations,
since 1989.
Muscoreil’s Fine Desserts is an upscale, family-owned bakery that has served Buffalo and Western New York since 1989 — known for custom wedding cakes, fine European cookies, and dessert tables made for the moments worth remembering.
How it began
Founded in 1989, on cakes worth remembering.
David Muscoreil and Ernie Ramstetter opened Muscoreil’s in 1989, and it quickly became known across Western New York for its wedding cakes, elaborate dessert tables, and fine European-style cookies.
That reputation grew into more than twenty thousand wedding cakes, a kitchen of some forty-five culinary artists, and an expanded home — with a gourmet bistro — on Niagara Falls Boulevard in North Tonawanda.
Today the bakery is owned by Philip Sydoriak and his partner Stephen Duck, who carry that same standard forward: everything made fresh, designed by hand, and built around your celebration.

How we bake
Four things that haven’t changed since 1989.
From scratch, always
No mixes, no shortcuts, no freezer trucks. We weigh the flour and brown the butter ourselves, every morning.
Finished by hand
Every cake is decorated by a real person at a real bench — not a machine and not a stencil.
