Dessert might just be the most important meal of the day, and to satisfy that sweet necessity, look no further than Cake Works.

This full-service bakery specializes in everything from uniquely designed cakes and pastries to cup-cakes and macarons decorated like your favorite cartoon characters. (Pokemon macarons have been flying off the shelves lately!)
