Manhattan's Century Cafe and Bakery

Chocolate Strawberry Cake

Another work of art, this chocolate / vanilla / fruit cake is topped with strawberries and kiwi. Shaved chocolate arches and cherries finish the look. Click this picture 2 more times to make it HUGE. I'll bet when you look at those strawberries and chocolate at a size as big as your screen, you'll definitely feel like eating a piece of this cake !!! Cheers -

I recommend it when you are in the mood to try something new. Cheers -

Super Yum. This creation is almost too good looking to eat. Cakes like this are available every day from the cake window or they can be made in advance to your specifications. We prefer 24 hour advance calls for custom cakes. Of course large cakes may take a couple days prep.

Chocolate Sponge Cake Roll

This is done to perfection as Asian Bakeries are very competitive with their sponge cakes. There are 5 variations of the basic sponge cake roll available at the Century Cafe and Bakery in Manhattan but this is a favorite. Usually served with coffee. In fact, this would go great with a Bubble Coffee like our last post. There is a cream filling which is light and balanced to give the right amount of moisture without over powering the delicate flavors that come out from the sponge cake. This roll is sometimes called a Sponge Log and it's sold in a ...

Chocolate Chip Fruit Topped Cake

Chocolate Chip Fruit Topped Cake. The kiwi and strawberries on top of this cake really combine with the chocolate chips to make a luxurious flavor combination that can't be beat. Try this out at your next family birthday party for a real treat.

Dessert Tray 1

Take a look and try to resist. I have a physical reaction in my mouth when I see something that looks this good to eat. Get there and munch some of these down. Click the image below to enlarge it and click it twice to blow it up on the screen to "in your face size". Wow those cakes look so good.
