After a little bit of begging and lots of finger crossing the owner of the
soon to open Cocoa Bakery & Bistro agreed to make the birthday cake
for a 40th birthday party held this evening.
We wanted something a little different, modern, feminine and elegant.
She created a structure of three tiers, the bottom two tiers held 50
cupcakes and the top tier was a mini cake. The cupcakes matched the
top tier cake and both were covered with fondant and mini sugar
flowers. Each individual flower was hand painted....it was truly
spectacular. The presentation alone was so beautiful and when we
finally tasted the cakes...AWESOME! The fondant and sugar flowers
melted in your mouth and the cake was delicious.
I'm thrilled that Jessica Isaacs is opening her bakery here in Jersey
City and wish her great success.

My kids (and my husband
and I - we had to sample)
LOVE the cookies.
Delicious! The mini Oreo
type were a huge hit with
my daughter!

Thank you, (the cake) turned out
awesome. A few said it was the best
cake they ever had…Thanks, you did
a great job.

I contacted Cocoa about making a
dessert for a small Christmas dinner we
had; my only requests were “not too
sweet” and “sort of Northern Italian”.
The dessert ended up being a dark
chocolate-hazelnut torte (70%
chocolate – I think she said she used
Valrhona) that was a definite “WOW”!
I do hope that they’ll be able to open in
2009. It will be well worth the wait!

I recently ordered a cake from Cocoa for a
special occasion and without question it was
amongst the best I have had. This place is going
to be a huge asset to Jersey City as the quality
is best in class. In ordering my specific needs
and details I dealt with the owners and they
were extremely engaged to make sure client
satisfaction. This place is great.

Hi Jessie-
I wrote you months ago to say
how psyched I am about your
bakery.
After reading my friend Jen's
review on Yelp, I asked my
husband to order a cake for
my birthday this past
weekend. I have to say yours
was one of the best chocolate
cakes I've ever had. And I've
eaten a lot of cakes.
