    A beautiful bakery with a cafe. Got to meet and chat with the owner. Trying to get her to Brooklyn.

    Out in Harlem on a lovely rainy day and stopped in to explore. So happy we did. My daughter got a slice of red and white which is a layer of red velvet and a layer of vanilla. It was delicious. The service was great and there is a cafe attached that has coffee beans you won't find everywhere else. When the weather permits, you can enjoy your goodies at the tables outside.

    They're an easy Four Stars once you eat their cookies! Make My Cake has the best selection of cakes that you can purchase by the slice. The price keeps going up but it's definitely worth it. I have to get mine too take home. My daughter gets hers to go too. It's a rare treat I'm sad to say. I love the cookies the best because I can eat the cookie on the way home. The bag was so cute I saved it!! We have a location closer to home. I definitely stop in for something special no matter which location I'm near. Customer Service is always tops!

    Cupcakes. I was very excited to get these cuk cakes. They looked delish. When I got home make some coffee and was ready to go. When I took a bit they were dense and dry. Not sure if I had a bad batch or they are just dense and dry. Totally disappointed . I also got a peach cobbler, it was more pie then cobbler. It was ok, nothing to brag about. It was missing something, like lemon zest. It wasn't balanced at all. Oh well. Red Velvet Cupcake Lemon Butter Cupcake Double Chocolate cupcake Chocolate Butter Cupcake

    If I take a trip down memory lane, Make My Cake's design really got a hold on me. My twin sister and I had just finished having tea at Serengeti after a long exercise session over on the East side. Backdrop is cute with Pinks and Browns. Shelves are stacked with old-fashioned knick-knacks. Glass shelves and pastry stands full of Sweets. Display looked decent and decided on keeping it simple with a cookie each. Taste was o...k- but really- nothing off the wall. It was a nice little trip. And Make My Cake has a cute style going on......but it's not as good as I thought it would be.

    I have gotten several items including the Red Velvet cake, cupcakes, and the key lime pie. This week we had the double chocolate cake and it was a huge hit. A guest even texted me about it afterwards. Highly recommend.

    So I went back today and got the half red velvet, half buttercream cake and it was PERFECT. It has buttercream and cream cheese frosting. I definitely rescind my comment about flavors not being unique, this was so simple yet so brilliant. Once again I had really excellent customer service and the people were extremely kind and helpful. I would love it if they had a cake rewards program

    I feel like I bought a truly ridiculous amount of petit gateaus here to try out and share with…read morefriends and we wound up enjoying most of them, some enough to buy twice. Went to the Flatiron store both times and didn't have to wait long to order. The staff were great and packed all of the little cakes nicely so that they survived the trek back to our condo. Mango--all around favorite, wound up buying like 4 of these cause half my friends preferred it and I liked it a surprising amount Blueberry--very mild, no tartness, not too sweet with good blueberry flavor Orange--fresh and orangey in the middle, loved this one Pear--reminds me of cinnamon apples (I guess this was cinnamon pears), which isn't my favorite flavor but others enjoyed Banana--made me sad cause I LOVE banana flavored stuff and this just... wasn't? It had old tasting banana paste in the middle assuming because it's real banana and not artificial, is tiny, and didn't taste good Yuzu--nice yuzu flavor and disappeared fast Cloud--forgot the actual name and apparently didn't take a picture, it had chocolate/hazelnut mousse with some sort of caramel and something crunchy, also delicious All of the petit gateaus were on the mild side which is a big plus for me. Appearance was top notch and the balance of cream to filling on point. I'd like to try some of the other pastries next time for sure.

    This is my third time going and I have to say I finally got the right desert the third time…read more Shared pics from all 3. Hands down the best thing to try is the mango (so flavorful and some parts feel cold like ice cream) and I also really liked the pistachio. Cloud is safe, Not too sweet and it's soft mousse. Yuzu (the flower dessert) had a hard rice cake under it which I was not a fan on. Everytime I have gone, the lien move pretty fast. Seating is whatever table you can find. So have one person place the order while the other scouts for a seat.

Something with eggs, and meat, and a hot beverage as winter is fast approaching. Anything else would do fine, but the first two were an absolute must. Daily Provisions fulfilled those obligations. Though pricey, and probably why I will not return, they make one tasty breakfast sandwich. It might even outdo Panera! If only I could see how it is made rather than just wrapped and packaged for me, with me assuming they just took a pre-packaged sandwich and heated it up. I really hope they do not do that. The taste of it tells me they do not, but I have to surmise. I also got a hot chocolate, which is super rich. It is not super hot, but if you are not careful you could have an accident on the sidewalk because of the milk they use. Drink it slow and steady. Or pace yourself between sips. Do not let the body recognize this is full of the things that make bowel movements happen. Thankfully, I held my ground. They also sell crullers. I love a good cruller. Choux pastry donuts full of rich flavor, without all the density of an actual donut. This one may be too rich. It is also quite expensive. Nearby Donut Pub does a better job with them. I had to be careful eating this. Being careful and knowing how much it cost to get a breakfast here are what keep it a three star review. However, their offerings will keep you out of the cold and give you strengths on days you need to be picked up.

I will say that I didn't think I would like this cookie at all since usually I like thinner crunchier cookies. But holy cow!! I was blown away by the crispy edges and the interior wasn't too soft gooey either. The chocolate and walnuts added to the cookie enhanced the flavor even more!

They are on the thicker side yet so incredibly soft on the inside and have a perfect crisp on the outer edges, top, and bottom!!

The Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookie was not too sweet as the walnuts were the perfect balance! I think this is for people who are not too big on chocolate chips in their cookie. The Coconut Caramel cookie reminded me of a Samoa! You can taste all the coconut in the cookie and it was delicious! The Sticky Bun was so soft as well! 10/10!
