Cake Sweet Cake in Katy

A private business on Mason Road where chef-owner Ruthy (of which the bakery could be named for: "Ruthy Sweet Ruthy" because one look at her cake artistry makes the term a given in the "what she is ALL ABOUT"... CAKE!) has become a frequent stop for me in satisfying my sweet tooth.

First a word about her cake artistry... seriously unbelievably talented (okay three words)... you simply must visit her Facebook page for an incredible display of custom cakes she's designed (make a search for Cake Sweet Cake). Let your fingers do the dialing when considering a cake for any occasion.

Now a multitude of words about her CUPCAKES: In a remarkable contrast to her amazing illustrative cakes are unadorned handfuls of YUMMILICIOUSNESS in her cupcakes. They have a homemade appeal with images of Grandma flinging batter in the back as each cupcake rises to it's own unique shape and then is lathered with lusciousness. Simple by design (with cupcakes centered on vanilla, chocolate, carrot or a strawberry batter and frosted with flavor inspiration ). Here - SIMPLE WORKS.

Most notable for me:

• the super-moist Carrot Cupcake with a savory-tangy sweet Cream Cheese Frosting
• the Chocolate Cake Balls which are fudgy, truffle-like, cookie-doughish balls-o-goodness that are so wonderfully chocolaty that they can fill your sweet tooth as you nibble away through the day
• AND.... (drum roll please) the Tres Leches Cupcake (pictured below)

This Tres Leches Cupcake puts the TGIF in my week (as these are only available on Fridays)! Spend your $$, your calories and your fat grams on this particularly well worth it YUMMILICIOUS cupcake.

The sweet purity of the vanilla cake is moist and dense with a spongy texture (think Pound Cake meets Angel Food Cake) and has a wonderfully sweetened, milky, soft-soaked center. It is frosted with a creamy, fluffy, light vanilla Meringue Frosting with a bit of crunch added to the texture circle with the adornment of sugar crystals.

I AM A FAN!
