True Confessions, World-Class Cakes

I have a habit. An excellent habit, frankly. Almost every Saturday morning, unless we’re breakfasting out, I indulge a a stuffed croissant—strawberry or blueberry cream cheese. My partner kids me about being set in my ways. I don’t care. Comfortably oblivious, I prepare a large cup of cappuccino or other liquid complement.

FYI, the purveyor of these weekend croissants is Black Forest Bakery & Café. They’re available here every day, as you might guess, along with a passel of other fresh-baked goods—traditional butter croissants, pastries, cookies, brownies, bagels and more. The aromas by themselves are worth a visit.

I just wanted to stop and send you a "thank you" and tell you how fabulous the baby shower cake was!! It was exactly what we wanted and so adorable. You got the colors spot on and the cake itself was delish!! I have never had fondant that was as moist - normally I eat only the inside and leave the fondant, but everyone raved about it. You and your crew are most talented!!
-Thanks again, Wendy


Thank you so much for not only being a part of our wedding, but providing, hands down, the most fantastic wedding cake EVER!! It was phenomenal!
-Thanks again, Vanessa and Ryan G

 

Thank you for making such a wonderful cake. Everyone raved that it was the best tasting wedding cake they ever had. Thanks again.

I wanted to personally thank you for the gorgeous cake you so kindly donated to St. John's School Gala. Your delectable donation alone raised $1500.00 towards the total $193,000 raised for Orange County children. I was proud to promote your fabulous bakery and sincerely thank you.

We want to thank you so much for creating such a beautiful wedding cake one week before our wedding. We were not too hopeful that any place could make such a cake on short notice and were very happy that your bakery was able to do so. The cake was beautiful, just as we wanted it, and we received many compliments on how beautiful and tasty it was! Again, thank you for a great job on such short notice and we look forward to using Black Forest Bakery again!
-Regards, Kathleen & Sean F.
