The cookies were unbelievable,
the orange ones literally melted
on my tongue.

Cocoa made Ricardo orange cookies because he
asked for them. Does your bakery make exactly what
you ask for? Cocoa Bakery does.

If you are looking for a fantastic custom cake for a special occasion, look no further. The owner was the head
pastry chef at famed Nobu in Manhattan, and I'd heard through the grapevine how amazing her cakes are.
While Cocoa Bakery was still under construction I asked if she would be willing to make a cake for my son's
third birthday - in the shape of a large X, his initial. Since I figured that she knew cake design better than we do,
I asked her to surprise us with the design.

third birthday - in the shape of a large X, his initial. Since I figured that she knew cake design better than we do,
I asked her to surprise us with the design.
What arrived at our house was simply amazing. A large
3-dimensional X of decadent chocolate cake with rich white
cream cheese frosting, decorated with marvelous
multi-colored fondant polka dots. All presented on a
beautifully wrapped pastry board. It was whimsical, colorful,
and simplistically elegant. We loved it.
What was the best part, though, was when we finally tasted
Cocoa Bakery's creation. The party-goers (adults and kids)
could not stop commenting on how fantastic it tasted. I
honestly think this was the best cake we have ever eaten -
moist with a deep chocolate taste balanced perfectly by the
cream cheese frosting. Kids and adults loved the fondant
polka dots and the little ones were able to pick out their
favorite colors for their serving.
The cake was so good that when I threw a good friend a
baby shower for her soon-to-be-adopted son, I knew we
needed a Cocoa cake (and, well, guests who had been to my
son's birthday party sealed the deal when they started asking
if we'd be serving another cake from Cocoa Bakery!). Again, I
asked Jess at Cocoa to surprise us with the design.

This time the cake was equally amazing with chocolate cake, buttercream
filling, an amazing frosting, and beautiful edible sculptures on top
reminiscent of babyhood - a rattle, a little ducky, a receiving blanket... The
best part, which brought our guest-of-honor to tears, was the inscription on
top with her son's names - both the name she and her husband had given
him as well as the name from his birthmother written in the language of his
country of origin. Jess said an assistant pastry chef at her restaurant was
a native speaker and helped her write the characters perfectly. Service
above and beyond, creating memories that will last a lifetime, and worth
every penny.
I will most certainly be working with Cocoa Bakery & Bistro for future cakes
to mark milestones in my family's and friends' lives. Right now I consider
them a signature part of our celebrations. Thank you Jess and Cocoa
Bakery - you are the best!

Thank you so much for your amazing and beautiful cake. It
was stunning both inside and out. From the delicately
balanced chocolate shelf to the incredibly thin layering of
cake -- all looked as fantastic as it tasted. My sister doesn't
like hazelnuts, but even she couldn't stop eating it!
Words cannot express my gratitude, but Thank You! Looking
forward to the opening of you bakery
