In the heart of Willoughby, OH a little taste of Italy has been delighting the community since 2018. Biscottini, a home-based bakery, has become a local treasure known for its authentic Italian pastries, biscotti, and custom desserts that bring people together in celebration.
The vision for Biscottini was simple but heartfelt: to create a bakery where every treat tells a story of family, tradition, and love. From the aroma of freshly baked biscotti to the delicate layers of handcrafted cakes, Biscottini reflects the dedication to quality and artistry rooted in Italian heritage.
That passion recently took center stage at Angelica and Sean’s wedding, where Biscottini created an unforgettable Millefoglie cake – a timeless Italian dessert that symbolizes elegance, joy, and community.
Working side-by-side with Bruno Frabotta, Pamela Furillo, owner and founder of Biscottini, brought the dessert to life in a way that delighted every guest. The Millefoglie was constructed on-site during the reception, transforming dessert into a performance of tradition and artistry. As Italian music played softly in the background, the newlyweds joined in the creation, carefully layering the crisp pastry and rich cream — a symbolic gesture of unity, love, and sweet beginnings.
“Every cake we make is personal,” says Pamela. “It’s about more than flavor — it’s about emotion, memories, and connection.”
The Millefoglie, which translates to “a thousand leaves,” dates back to 17th-century Europe and has deep roots in both French and Italian pastry traditions. In Italy, it’s often the centerpiece of wedding celebrations, admired not only for its delicate layers of puff pastry and pastry cream but also for its deeper meaning — representing patience, devotion, and the beauty of building something together. By crafting it live before the guests, Pamela and Bruno honored this beautiful heritage while giving it a modern, personal touch that reflected the couple’s own story.
Since opening in 2018, Biscottini has grown from a neighborhood bakery into a destination for those seeking authentic Italian confections and contemporary custom cakes. Biscottini continues to bring the warmth of Italian hospitality to Northeast Ohio — one sweet layer at a time.
