Made from scratch, served by the cup.
Desserts are the part of this kitchen that guests remember by name. Banana pudding cups, cherry cheesecake cups, brownies, lemon bars, cheesecakes and mini pies, made from scratch and served as a styled dessert table or packed by the tray for pickup. The overhead photo on this page is a real table from a real Akron event.
A dessert table closes a wedding, a shower or a company dinner. Dessert cups alone cover an office birthday or a family gathering. Brownies, bars and mini pies go out by the tray for anyone who needs a dozen sweet things on short notice.
Everything here starts at $6 per person. Pick the format that fits the room, then tell us the date and the headcount.
Three ways to order dessert.
A styled table, individual cups, or a tray of brownies, bars and pies.

Dessert cups travel better than a sliced cake, which is why they show up at graduation open houses in Ellet and the Falls, at backyard parties on the Portage Lakes and at the break rooms along East Market and South Main. Styled dessert tables belong to wedding receptions, corporate dinners and the showers that fill West Akron and Fairlawn Heights living rooms in spring.
Everything is made at 647 E Market Street and finished the day it is served. Pickup orders are ready at the kitchen; delivered tables are built on site with the risers and signage, anywhere from Copley to Hudson and on a scheduled run to Kent, Canton, Medina and Cleveland.
Cakes have their own section, from a birthday drip cake to a wedding tier.

The rest of the kitchen.
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.
Can I order desserts without catering?
Yes. Cups, brownies, bars and mini pies go out by the tray for pickup from the kitchen on East Market Street or delivery. A styled dessert table can also be booked on its own.
What desserts do you make?
Banana pudding cups, cherry cheesecake cups, cheesecakes, brownies, lemon bars, mini pies and custom cakes are the regulars, all made from scratch. Tell us the occasion and we suggest the mix.
How far ahead should desserts be ordered?
A few days for a tray, two weeks for a styled dessert table or a cake. Graduation weekends and December fill early.
Is a tray of desserts priced the same as a styled table?
No. A tray is priced by the dozen and picked up or dropped off. A styled table is priced per person from $6, because it includes the setup, the risers and the mix of cups, bars and bites. Tell us which you want and the quote shows it plainly.
