Lil' Bites


Whether you dunk, munch, or nibble daintily, we understand that these sweet little bites are too tempting to pass up. So if you find you've sampled more than your fair share at your next event we promise we won't tell a soul.










BITE INTO IT

Oatmeal Cranberry Currant a comforting classic perked up w/ tart dried cranberries & currants

Chocolate Chunk everything a chocolate chip cookie should be, slightly crisp, chewy, and full of smooth bittersweet chocolate chunks

Lemon Dream Creams not your typical sugar cookies, these are topped w/ fresh lemon curd & our signature buttercream

Ultimate Gingersnaps soft, sugared ginger cookies w/ spicy bits of candied ginger in every bite

White Chocolate Peanut Crumbles peanut butter cookies studded w/ white chocolate chunks, rolled in sweet & salty peanuts crumbs

Rugelach cinnamon-sugared cream cheese pastry rolled around seasonal fillings: tart cherry, raspberry, & chocolate

Lemon Sables buttery & crisp w/ a subtle citrus aroma

Sweet Tarts

There's just something refined about dessert tarts. They're special. They inspire your inner child to host a tea party, and they are a perfect choice for any event from an intimate lunch with friends to celebrating that long-awaited wedding day.

We've all tasted a few of the basics, but since we like to push the envelope a little around here, get ready for some exciting new flavor combinations, and the joy that comes with a little thing we like to call,

'Taste bud Euphoria'.






THE MUST-TASTE TART LIST

Blackberry Caramel sweet buttery tart crust filled w/ caramel mousse hiding a center of creamy caramel sauce & topped with fresh, plump blackberries

Chocolate Basil sweet hazelnut tart crust holding a rich filling of basil-infused bittersweet chocolate ganache

Swiss Chocolate Orange creamy filling, flecked w/ bittersweet chocolate bits & candied orange peel in a sweet buttery tart crust

Coconut Almond Fudge
creamy coconut filling studded in a toasted almond crust & topped ganache glaze


Caramelized Lemon tangy lemon curd in a buttery sweet crust w/ a crisp caramelized sugar topping

Orange-Almond Toffee sweet buttery crust filled w/ creamy citrus & almond filling

Pomegranate & Ginger

There's someone you should meet . . .



Our signature tart is a unique combination of spicy and sweet.

Surprisingly addictive,
and cute as a button.

Pomegranate & Ginger ginger-almond frangipane in a buttery, crumbly crust, topped w/ signature pomegranate sauce & sweetened whipped cream

There's always room for pudding


This isn't your typical pudding- it's basically THE tastiest, most decadent, spoil-yourself-silly pudding you've ever eaten.
Mmm. Bread Pudding.

Better than anything boasting 'just add milk', our bread pudding is a delightful array of sweet flavors and pleasing texture. Rumor is, ours wins over enemies and magically makes you the prettiest princess at the ball just for serving it.

You think we're joking. It's true.

Wedding Bells


I have enjoyed baking and designing Wedding Cakes for over ten years, and, after creating heaven knows how many white cakes with raspberry filling, my passion for tailoring flavor to couple has positively skyrocketed.

No two brides, or grooms for that matter (we can't forget you, fellas!), are the same, so why the cardboard cutout wedding cake? Why bland? Why boring same-old, same-old? Break the bands of mediocrity and do something that will keep your guests talking for years to come- the good kind of talk, the kind that makes a mouth water instead of grimace in the remembering!

Besides, having a piece smashed into your face is infinitely more pleasant when it makes your taste buds dance!

Let them eat cake



In the 'dessert closet' of our lives, I like to think of cake as the little black number that can dress up or down and still knock your socks off.

It's a personality thing, you have your favorite and so does he. It's individual, and it should be. Here, we like to think outside the box and take your comfort food to a higher level- sometimes it's new, sometimes a little crazy, but always absolutely delicious!
