Words can't even begin to describe the excitement I feel when I hear someone say, "Let's go to Cake…read moren Bake!" I get this crazy, emotional, cosmic energy that makes me want to jump up and down, cry tears of joy, and yell, "¡Vamos a Cake n Bake!"...and I don't even speak Spanish! I honestly feel like I ate Cake n Bake in a former life and somehow found it again. I could literally eat their cakes every single day.
My boyfriend and I discovered Cake n Bake one afternoon after lunch when we were craving dessert. It was easy to find, and street parking wasn't difficult either. (Just be careful crossing the street--the drivers can be a little crazy!)
As soon as we walked in, we were greeted warmly and helped right away. They have a beautiful display of cakes baked fresh daily, with both individual slices and whole cakes, along with cheesecakes.
On our first visit, we ordered the Tres Leches cake, Vanilla Berry cake, Carrot cake, Chocolate Cherry cake, and two servings of banana pudding. I couldn't even wait until I got home--I opened the container and started eating in the car.
One bite of the Chocolate Cherry cake and I was instantly hooked. The cake was incredibly moist, the tart cherries were plump and juicy, and the whipped frosting was light, perfectly balanced, and not overly sweet. I honestly can't wait for my birthday because I fully intend to order an entire Chocolate Cherry cake just for myself.
The banana pudding tasted just like my Yia Yia's (grandma's) homemade banana pudding, which says a lot. The carrot cake quickly became another favorite of mine. Since that first visit, we've already gone back three more times! We've also tried the pear cake, and the spinach cake and honey cake are next on our list.
I almost forgot--they also serve coffee and refreshers. I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but I absolutely love their refreshers. They're made with fresh fruit purée and sparkling water, served in a really nice cup that I honestly wanted to keep.
The customer service is just as amazing as the desserts. We stopped by on Father's Day later in the afternoon and were so happy they were still open. I was disappointed because they had sold out of the Chocolate Cherry cake, but the gentleman helping us actually went into the kitchen and made me one. That level of customer service is hard to find these days.
I really need to remember to take pictures the next time we go because I want everyone to see what I consider dessert perfection. If you're anywhere near Cake n Bake, do yourself a favor and stop in. Just be warned...you'll probably be back again and again!
They have a nice seating area in a cover patio in front and to be honest I can't remember if they have tables inside because I'm always focused on the cakes in the display.
