"Someone gave me petits fours with my initials, from Duane Park Patisserie. It was like receiving four tiny, darling birthday cakes."

– Kathryn Stockett, author of The Help (O, The Oprah Magazine, September 2011)

“The cake was a big WOW! Yes it tasted great, but was purely a piece of edible art….bravo!  It is amazing how you took a 10 minutes conversation and perfectly captured EXACTLY what we were hoping for.  Thank you for making this day even more special for my family.”

– Ed Brown, Celebrity Chef, 2011

“[At] Duane Park Patisserie in TriBeCa, where the art of the petit four is flourishing….Ms. Lanciani's petit fours are exquisite, jewel-like....Eating one at a time required extraordinary self-discipline and left my taste buds begging for more.”

– Ralph Gardner.  "Tiny Reasons for Hope." The Wall Street Journal, 2011

“The cake itself was a hazelnut torte with raspberry preserves and ganache filling, wrapped and decorated with marzipan – and it was divine ... I’ve had at least three of Madeline Lanciani’s cakes, and all have been winners.”

– Ruth J. Katz. “Let Us Eat Cake.” New York Magazine, 1993

“Tribeca’s Duane Park Patisserie can take virtually any design and put it on a cake.”
