Isn't this a great cake? This is the cake that Coffee Time Bake Shop provided for a reception Destination Salem held last week at the National Park Service Salem Regional Visitor Center. We were celebrating the launch of the 2008 Salem Visitor & Travel Guide, and we were celebrating the 70th birthday of the Salem Maritime National Historic Site.
Coffee Time heard there was a birthday party, and you can't have a birthday party without a cake, so here is the stunning cake - which was equally delicious, I must add. The Custom House is hand-"painted" in frosting, as is the lighthouse (Derby Light). The Friendship image is scanned onto the cake. Along the front it read, "America's First National Historic Site."
Thanks to Rob and his team at Coffee Time for this great cake. If you haven't been to Coffee Time, make it a stop as soon as you cane! The season for Paczkis (My favorite Coffee Time treat - a double rolled, stuffed "donut" that is made only during Lent!) is over for this year, but that doesn't mean the cases aren't filled with donuts, cakes, cookies, real cream bismarks, and other decadent treats. They whole wheat chocolate chip cookies are really good, too, and I consider them guilt-less because they are made with whole wheat flour. (Please don't ruin my delusion by telling me how much butter and sugar go into the cookies!) Come fall I won't be able to get enough of their glazed cider donuts.
Discover the magic of treats in Salem!
