Happy National Cake Day!

Find out about some of our favorite cakes in Middletown!

We hope everyone had wonderful Thanksgivings! Stay tuned (and send us your pictures) for a Thanksgiving post tomorrow. In the meantime, IT’S NATIONAL CAKE DAY! We love this time of year. The eating holidays are almost infinite.

In order to celebrate this amazing holiday, we decided to tell you about all our favorite cakes (and cake-like items) in Middletown. Here’s the rundown:

Vanilla cake with raspberry filling, carrot cake, and rainbow cookie cake from Fusion Bakery and Patisserie

Fusion makes a mean cake. These are only a few of our favorites. The vanilla cake with raspberry filling is exceptionally well-made, and the fresh frosting and raspberry filling add the perfect level of sweetness. The carrot cake, probably Fusion’s most famous item, has a mild spice. The moist, fluffy cake is perfectly complemented by the light cream cheese frosting, and the rainbow cookie cake? Don’t even get us started. This baby flaunts perfect proportions of raspberry jam, chocolate, and a delightful almond flavor.

Peanut butter and jelly cupcake from NoRA Cupcake Company

So maybe they’re not traditional cakes, or traditional anythings for that matter, but there’s no doubt that NoRA cupcakes are delicious. One of our favorites is the peanut butter and jelly. It starts out right — with a big, peanut butter filled pretzel sitting atop a glob of the delicious frosting. The cake itself is dense and flavorful, and the jelly filling is pretty fantastic.

Cinnamon raspberry chocolate chip pound cake from O’Rourke’s

So maybe it’s not really “cake”, but this is a Middletown must-have. The somewhat crisp exterior dissolves into a soft, melt in your mouth dough, with just enough cinnamon flavor. Read our full review on the pound cake here.

Grilled coffee cake muffin from Brew Bakers

Again, some people may not consider this a cake, but hey, it’s in the name! The grilling process enhances the already exquisite texture, so the top crunches into a melty, gooey interior. When warm, the cinnamon sugar swirls glisten, their taste seeming almost heightened by the heat. Read more about the grilled coffee cake muffin here.

Strawberry shortcake and cream puff cake at Sweet Harmony Cafe and Bakery

Don’t be decieved by the lack of posts on Sweet Harmony. Although we haven’t had the time to visit this little treasure of an eatery yet this year, it’s a wonderful place. During our visit, we got the strawberry shortcake and cream puff cake, both were induldgent, perfectly textured, and incredibly delicious.

Happy national cake day everybody! We hope you enjoyed it. Welcome back!
