“ Recent visit: 12/06. It may be easy to find heavy, creamy and sweet desserts in many places, but it takes divine encounter to come across a healthy choice. When I cannot get enough kick from asian pastry, I go to the Cakery. There seems not excessive fat to clog my arteries, nor too much sugar to induce type 2 diabetes. All the marzipan cakes taste genuinely good. Use of mild sugar allows the almond to come through. The fruit tarts have fresh ripen fruits (yep, the strawberries are not sour) and crispy shell. The dark chocolate cake has rich chocolate taste and medium texture, yet not dense nor intense like the devilish one in Max's. We like to grab a sidewalk table, and cross the street to get cappuccino from Peet's (apology to Cakery's own brew). On a sunny afternoon, this is the place to be, watching the Burlingame Ave shopping crowd go by. May be we are biased already, we still have to explore Copenhagen Bakery next door. ”
