Boston Cream Cake
...moist white cake filled with Bavarian crème, iced in whipped cream and covered with ganache. Bostons are also available in the Chocolate Lover's variety featuring chocolate cake, chocolate Bavarian crème, chocolate whipped cream frosting and of course, the rich ganache chocolate as well. Yep, you guessed it. Both varieties of Bostons are over the top.
Burnt Almond Cake
...our moist white cake is brushed with amaretto syrup, and then filled with sweet-toasted almonds and Bavarian crème. This luscious cake is then covered in a non-dairy whipped topping and enrobbed with more sweet-toasted almonds.
Champagne Cake
...our white cake recipe made with real champagne with just a blush of pink is filled twice with our smooth light custard filling and iced in light whipped topping. The alcohol bakes off in the oven, but the champagne flavour stays behind to give this cake a celebratory bubbly tang.
German Chocolate Cake
...our rich devil's food cake is split, filled, and topped with traditional german chocolate, and iced beautifully with our chocolate buttercream.
Red Velvet Cake
...kissed with chocolate cake, this torted cake is given a smooth velvety texture and unique flavour from the addition of buttermilk. Filled and covered with a light cream cheese icing, this cake tastes fabulous and really is red in color.
Spider Cake
...spooky sweetness... rich devil's food cake baked upside down on caramelized pecan halves and covered in rich Belgian ganache. Decoration with a subtle web pattern gives this striking and delicious cake its name. The little spider is optional.
Tiramisu Cake
...our rendition of the classic Tiramisu is a torted white cake soaked in kahlua and espresso, sprinkled with chocolate, and then filled with a smooth mixture of whipped cream, marscapone cheese and Bavarian crème. This is iced with sweet whipped cream, encircled with lady fingers and garnished with shaved chocolate and chocolate-covered espresso beans.
Cheesecakes
Now if that wasn't already enough choice in cake, we have a cheese cake line that will delight your taste buds beyond your wildest culinary dreams. Cheese cake lovers beware, these babies can be addictive!
Our cheese cake is simple delcious all on its own, but we can refine it with a variety of toppings or baked-in options. For example:
- raspberry swirl
- apricot swirl
- cappuccino swirl
- pumpkin and pumpkin swirl
- Mini cheese cakes are also available
