Cakes for New Years parties
If some of the cakes at Les Delices La Frenaie look suspiciously similar to those in Loblaw’s (and Boccacinos, Chenoys and your favorite espresso bar), you would be a good detective.
So come to the source for the 46 kinds of cake: chocolate praline explosion, apple caramel cheesecake (23 others), frutti di bosco, custard, limoncello, heavenly berry and Milky Way in 8″ or 10″ sizes. The best buy is the pound cakes ($9.50) which come in apple walnut, orange, lemon cranberry, banana chocolate, espresso almond and 13 more.
Some cakes can be ordered for more than 20 people if you call 36 hours in advance. Of course there’s birthday, wedding and character cakes. There’s usually tastings, don’t pass up the amaretti biscotti.
Trays of pizza (tomato, white, all dressed and vegetarian) can be ordered – and are perfect for New Year’s party nibbling.
