Cocoa Locale

Home made desserts created from innovative recipes served in a quaint sweet-smelling shop insure the continued success of this popular bakery that specializes in cupcakes. Their traditional chocolate cupcake is made with less sugar than usual, thanks to the higher percentage of cocoa mass and include spices found in chai tea. The coconut cupcakes with lemon icing are a hot item too. Bundt cakes decorated with flower petals, along with brownies, pies, and cookies that often include unusual ingredients such as lavender, zucchini, fresh ginger, olive oil or cardamom keep regulars coming back. A take on the upside down cake features cake with candied pears in maple syrup.
