It's "Zeppole Time" - Pass by for some fresh zeppole at San Marco !!

Guilty! We haven't posted since January. We've been busy making cakes!!! Valentines Day came and went and now we are happily slaving our way into zeppole season. For those who don't know what zeppole are, well here is a brief lesson. Also known as Bignè di San Giuseppe , they are made from deep fried dough and filled with custard or ricotta. Zeppole are traditionally eaten during Saint Joseph's Day (Festa di San Giuseppe) on March 19 in Rome, Naples, Sicily and Sardegna where they are sold on many streets and mostly presented as gifts to family or friends! The custom was popularized in the early 19th century by a Neapolitan baker. Here are some of San Marco's delectable zeppole that we have been serving since late February. Yes, we started earlier because of the high demand we have every year!! Buon Appetito!!



If you need a dozen or more, it's better if you call us in advance. Just makes it easier for us!!!

Party Animal Cake - Montreal Pastry Shop - Birthday Cakes - Gateaux D'Anniversaire


Even our 2 year old customers get to enjoy our artistry and whimsical cakes. We had a "wild" time creating this animal farm - there's something about a cute pig lazily lying on a cake that puts a smile on our faces!

When the future bride approached us with this wedding cake idea, our design team was immediately inspired and took every step to execute this with precision and finesse. The outcome was uber-elegant! The brightness of the peacock, the refinement of the tail atop the pure white cakes further detailed in gold is a thing of beauty. This cake is fit enough for any Fashionista who dares! Life is short, Eat dessert...
