The Spring Menu has arrived!!

Just like the crocuses and budding green leaves, Spring has brought something special to Dessert Works as well!  Our Spring Menu has arrived, and it's time to start thinking about something sweet for the season.  We are offering a wide variety of gluten-free treats just for Passover - how about a Chocolate Almond cake, or sweet, springy Lemon Almond Tart?  And for Easter we've brought back some favorites like our Raspberry Bunny cake, as well as some new faces like a Casata Rum torte.  Give us a call if you'd like to place an order, or come on by to try a free sample!

  1. Thank you so much for the wonderful job you did with my daughter's engagement cake. It by far exceeded my expectations. Everyone commented on the cake, from the way it was decorated to how wonderful it tasted. I wish there was a way I could post a photo of it to your website so that everyone could see what you did with my vision. We will be coming back for the shower cake and of course the wedding cake. Thanks again, Deb Broderick
