| - Our neighborhood is constantly developing and when I saw the sign for "World of Cakes", I had to check it out.
A family-owned business that's only been open for about 8 weeks, World of Cakes holds a lot of promise. Walking in, you'll notice a small assortment of single serving cakes. We didn't know which cake to try, and the ever so personable and gracious owner and pastry chef, William Galdamez, brought out some samples for us!
We tried the Creme Brulee Cheesecake ($3.75) and the Apple Tart. The creme brulee had a delicious crust on the bottom, a layer of creme brulee, then cheesecake, and the top is nicely crisped as traditional creme brulee is. Yummy! The apple tart was a lovely surprise too! I'm not usually fond of the crust of tarts, but their version is unlike any other I had and was very enjoyable. We bought home their Kahlua Chocolate Mousse Cake ($3.75), a lovely dome of soft and delicious chocolate. Again, the crust was oh-so nice and was just a joy to eat. Other flavors available include Cheesecake and Lemon Mousse among others.
Homemade cookies are available by the pound, $4.50. They offer four varieties of cookies - Oatmeal, Chocolate Chip, Sugar, and Butter. Cookies are very enjoyable as well and can create a very bad habit if you find a pound in front of you.
World of Cakes does sell cupcakes, but this isn't their specialty. You'll find their version of cupcakes unlike any other place. Their visual appearance alone doesn't even resemble a cupcake. I have yet to try theirs.
They also sell artisan breads for about $4 a loaf that include olives or raisins. These crusty breads come from the owner's friend's bakery and is a nice treat from your boring regular bread from the supermarket.
Bigger cakes are also available made to order. Cake flavors include Lemon Chiffon, White Chiffon, Carrot Cake, Chocolate Chiffon, Tiramisu, and Marble. Cake fillings include Lemon Cream, Vanilla Bavarian, Chocolate Bavaria, Chocolate Mousse, White Chocolate Mousse, Cream Cheese, and Pineapple Cream. Moving onto Icings, you can choose Whipped Cream, Buttercream, Chocolate Ganache, and Rolled Fondant.
As of now, they are open daily from 10 am to 7 pm, and closed on Sundays. This may change once business picks up due to road construction right in front.
World of Cakes is definitely worth a visit!
