I emailed them a picture of a cake. Through email, I ordered the cake. I received a contract regarding payment and pick up. Today, I picked the cake up. It is almond cake, raspberry filling, and butter cream icing. The sheets of music are Happy Birthday. The birthday girl plays a flute in an adult band. She loved the cake. Everyone at the restaurant was craning their necks to get a look at the cake (and hoped for an offer of a slice). The cake was moist, generous raspberry filling, and not overly sweet icing. Yum!

Us and all our guest only had great things to say about how delicious everything was! The taste testing was fun and you get to sample plenty of cake, filling, and icing to find the perfect combo you want. We went with a 2 tier cake plus sheet cakes to serve our guests. The cake details were BEAUTIFUL and they worked with my florist to add fresh flowers to the cake as well! My sister plans to use them for her wedding cake, and I plan to order some desserts and cupcakes for her shower as well after the great experience we had! We couldn't recommend Tasty Bakery enough!

BeBe Kakes is a bakery that was founded in 2013. Its employees make and sell cookies (e.g.,…read moresnickerdoodles, s'mores, and thumbprints), donuts, pies, cupcakes, cakes (including custom), and other treats (e.g., brownies, candied walnuts, and dog treats). I shopped in this bakery one time. The employees very kindly greeted me, promptly boxed my baked goods, accurately rang up my purchase, and repeatedly thanked me. The total price for one lady lock, one cinnamon roll, one apple fritter, one large apple-caramel cookie, and one piece of apple-caramel crumb cake was $19 *plus* tax and tip. My husband and I ate these several baked goods at home. We thought that they were very fresh and tasted good. Mars is a small town, and I think that BeBe Kakes is one of its best businesses. If you happen to be in the area, be sure to check out this bakery.

The carrot cake may be the best I've ever had with amazing maple cream cheese frosting. I also had the lemon and was skeptical about it being vegan but I truly couldn't tell the difference and really enjoyed the powdered sugar based frosting. We also had the white chocolate raspberry and the butter rum. Both were good but the frosting in the raspberry was very stiff so that one was my least favorite, still yummy with light angel food like cake. Friendly staff and good vibes!

First of all, Cathy is the nicest lady you'll ever meet in your life. She's an expert baker who creates pastries so beautiful you'd think it couldn't be as tasty as it is beautiful. Surely the creations cannot be as delicious as they are beautiful. Wrong. I am obsessed with Cathy's creations, from Wedding and grooms cakes to cupcakes to edible wedding favors/Party favors like customized chocolate covered Oreos and popcorn (which comes in several varieties catered to food sensitivities--a MUST in 2018!) If you aren't considering Frosted Envy for your pastries or Popped Envy (sister company) for your popcorn needs you're doing yourself such a disservice.

This is an odd sort of review, because the only chocolates I've eaten from here were the ones she tutored us to create. And...well...they were magnificent. So rewinding a bit... I was looking for gift idea for SB. A friend at work pointed me to a link to a listicle or PG article about a chocolate making class. I'd never heard of it before. Completely in the weeds. When I went to A519's webpage, it was not intuitively obvious to me where I could go to sign up. BUT...it's listed under "products"...https://shop.a519chocolate.com/products/private-truffle-making-class There...I made a link for you.

It's a working kitchen, but doesn't take up a ton of space, so a six person class can be a bit cramped, but not uncomfortably so. There was plenty of space for each couple to follow instructions and hands-on. We first decorated molds using cocoa butter sprinkles (a la Jackson Pollock), then painted with an air brush, then made ganache and tempered chocolate and poured and scraped, cooled and broke molds, each couple taking home 24 BEAUTIFUL truffles. SB likes 'experience gifts', and this one was a great experience for us both. And the truffles WE made were amazing, so I can't imagine how good the ones Amanda (owner/chef) produces would be. Strongly encourage (think: valentine's day gift).

They recently opened a pop up shop in central Lawrenceville which will be open through Feb 2018. When I arrived I met Amanda Wright's husband who is in charge of the shop. Chocolate truffles come in different size boxes and are very expensive. You can still order from Amanda either on-line or call her shop where she produces them if you are unable to come out. Boxes range anywhere from two to a box for $4.00 to about fifteen in a box for $30.00. Although they are grouped by category such as caramels, you are permitted to mix and match to your liking. I decided to opt for a champagne filled truffle and a dark chocolate one. They were box very nicely and I ate them when I got home. Believe me as always they are to die for! These chocolates are to be savored. Wine pairing also helps you enjoy the flavors better. I don't mind have to shelve out a little extra cash when I know something is extra special and believe me I have never been disappointed in any or their high end chocolates. If you are able to get to central Lawrenceville during the holiday season this place is a must if you want to get some of the best candy in the city. Amanda can also custom design a box using sports teams or beautiful art. This makes a great gift for someone who is indeed a chocolate lover.
