The dessert that serves itself.
A dessert cup solves the problem every party has at the end: someone has to cut and plate the cake. Cups are portioned already, picked up with one hand, and eaten standing in a backyard, at a desk or in a reception line. Banana pudding and cherry cheesecake are the two our reviews name; red velvet, lemon and chocolate rotate behind them.
They go out by the tray for pickup or drop off, or they build the body of a styled dessert table beside a cake. A rack of cups travels well, which is why they show up at graduation open houses, office parties and the back of the church hall after a repast.
Dessert starts at $6 per person. Tell us the headcount, the flavors and the date.

Cups go where plates do not. Graduation open houses in Ellet and the Falls, where the dessert has to survive four hours of people coming and going. Office birthdays and appreciation days in the break rooms along East Market and South Main. Church repasts in Firestone Park and North Hill, where the sweet table sits at the back of the hall and clears itself. Summer parties on the Portage Lakes, where nobody wants to find a knife.
Every cup is made at 647 E Market Street and filled the day it goes out. Pickup is at the kitchen; delivery covers Akron and the normal ring, and trays ride along on any catering run to Kent, Canton, Medina and Cleveland.

This place offers ALL of your catering needs. I don't believe there is anything she can't provide for you. I have had SO many meals and attended SO many events. The Taste of the City (Akron) she provided so many great "samples". An outdoor hibachi grill party with all the trimmings, steak, shrimp, chicken, rice, fresh vegetables also one of my favorites. The taco bar and loaded potatoes are great for staff meetings. The seafood is always top quality, the largest shrimp! The desserts made from scratch are amazing. Cakes, cheesecakes, individual desserts, it doesn't end. Give them a try! Best prices around with professional service.

Before you book.
How many dessert cups do I need?
One per guest with a few extra for the people who come back is the usual plan. For a dessert table with a cake, fewer per person. Tell us the headcount and the format and we set the count.
What flavors of dessert cups do you make?
Banana pudding and cherry cheesecake are the regulars, with red velvet, lemon, chocolate and seasonal flavors behind them. Tell us the occasion and the colors and we suggest the mix.
How much notice do dessert cups need?
A few days for a tray. Graduation weekends, the week before Christmas and summer Saturdays need more. Cups for a styled dessert table are booked with the table, two weeks ahead.
Can I pick up a tray of cups from your kitchen?
Yes. Name a pickup time and the tray is filled that morning and waiting at the kitchen on East Market Street. Delivery across Akron and the surrounding towns is the other option.
Two ways to start.
