I never pictured such thing as a hip bakery, but this is it.
The store is tucked in on lower Murray Ave., but it's awning is a vibrant as the food! Cake creations only found it San Fransisco, New York and the like. Push up cakes? Really? Sounds weird, but works on so many levels. Cake shots? Sounds weird...but works on so many levels! There is nothing like this in the city.
Recently got half a dozen cupcakes and several cake push-ups for my father-in-laws birthday. Ordered the cupcakes a day before (though for a larger order it may be longer) and picked them up early. Staff was nice, place is spotless and very trendy without trendy prices or presumptuous attitude from staff or owner who is a pastry connoisseur. The cupcakes were festive and cupcake-like and the cake push-ups were too cool to pass up (I bought 3 different ones). When we pulled out the cupcakes at my in-laws, they gasped at the coolness and uniqueness of the push-ups. My 2 year old niece ate one without mess right away. No body gasped about the cupcakes though...they're just cupcakes right?...Wrong!!!! The family had probably eaten a million cupcakes between us and have never tasted such a smooth, moist and tasty treat. Personally, I have always seen at least on or two cupcakes left in the pack to rot and turn stale, but these were too good to pass up; frosting on everybody's mouths. My wife is considering using this place to cater her baby shower...yeah, it's that good.
Forget the grocery store or the horrific gluten-free places. This place isn't there just to pick up some pastries on your way to a get together; it's to impress the get together once you get there.
A must!!!!
