Make My Cake

For us, it's hard to walk into a bakery and not think of Wayne Thiebaud --- or how many slices we can eat before being called "piggish."


We restrained ourselves during a recent visit to Make My Cake in Harlem to just two: the famed red velvet and German chocolate.



The red velvet could have used a lot more buttercream frosting, but --- let's be honest --- we could have eaten another three slabs. At least. The four-dollar slice was worth every calorie. The German chocolate was deliciously dark, topped with two types of frosting: coconut caramel and chocolate. Next time we're going to try the coconut cake, carrot cake, and, if no one's looking, a couple of cupcakes too.
