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!)
Since opening more than seven years ago, Cake Works has made a sweet splash in the community, reflecting chef and owner Abigail Langlas’ French culinary training and personal taste. She humbly credits her hardworking team for making it all possible — from preparing orders to decorating.
