G.B. Mann told us “Randy and his wife were so wonderful to me. We went all over the country. And they never ate me and let me be a part of their family and enjoy the sites with them. Loved all the neat restaurants and as Randy said to me ‘ lucky you aren’t on the menu this time!’ Thanks for a great trip!” Checkout more great photos on our […]
This post is the first of five and is to give you some information about wedding cakes.

Preparing for the Wedding Cake Consultation 1. It is absolutely not required, but in today’s world most brides have millions of cakes at their fingertips. If you have time take 10 minutes and look at some cakes on the internet (our photo gallery is at https://3brothersbakery.com/gallery-wedding-cakes.html).

What to expect during your wedding cake consultation: Cake and filling for you taste! What’s the fun of the appointment if you can’t have a nosh (taste).

So you have been on all your appointments, tasted cake and reviewed your options. You found a baker you like and feel confident about – what happens next? 1. Some bakers have a detailed contract which you will need to sign. 2. You will need to provide a deposit – usually about 50% and it is usually non-refundable. This deposit holds the date for your wedding cake to be made […]

Our well-loved Gingerbread Man, who has worked tirelessly to promote the bakery since the three brothers, Sigmund, Sol and Max Jucker, opened the doors to the original Houston location on Holman Street on May 8, 1949, is finally taking a break from the 24/7 business of measuring, mixing, baking and delivering.

When you are in our line of business, there are few things that say “YOU DID IT!” such as waking up in the morning and knowing that your bakery will have some very important visitors that day… …that is, if those visitors are from Food Network itself! Three Brothers Bakery was honored and excited to play host to Tom Pizzica of the hit television show Outrageous Food and his amazing […]
I have been in charge of seders for my entire family for the past five years or so, and the guest list has ranged from a 20-person head count to a 50-person head count. I know some of you feel my pain! For those of you who have never had the privilege (ahem) of preparing a 50-person seder, here is a sneak peek at a typical shopping list: 27 pounds […]
