“Ms. Lanciani prepares luscious brownies, cheesecakes and tarts … But it is her vividly decorated holiday cookies – designer cookies, you could say – that make people break out in a sugar sweat.” – “Cookie Monsters Are Rejoicing.” The New York Times. (December 16, 1995)

“Tribeca’s Duane Park Patisserie can take virtually any design and put it on a cake.” – Time Out New York Kids. (March-April 2005)

“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.” – Katz, Ruth J. “Let Us Eat Cake.” New York Magazine, Best of New York. (December 12, 1993)

“The desserts you prepared for our New York Oscar Night Party rivaled any other dessert I have seen and eaten in several years. Not only were they presented with the care of a museum installation, they were delicious!!!” – Patrick Harrison, New York Events Director, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. (March 1, 2005)

“What’s great about the flattish, chunky [chocolate chunk cookie] at Duane Park Patisserie … is the use of Cocoa Barry or Van Houten bittersweet chocolates, in handcut hunks rather than run-of-the-mill morsels, and the cookie’s properly chewy, just-past-raw consistency.” – New York Magazine, Best of New York.(April 15, 1996)

Madeline’s creations have also been enjoyed by Presidents, Kings and Queens, Heads of State, “Literary Lions,” Financial Wizards, Fashion Moguls, Opera Stars, Oscar Winners, Movie Stars, Tony Winners, Grammy Winners, Rock Stars and Models, as well as the K-I class at P.S. 234 in Manhattan.
