Celebration Cakes, Custom Cakes, Theme Cakes
I grew up loving cake, that’s my family reputation, and now it’s my goal to provide the best looking and tasting cake around. Nothing says CELEBRATE like a gorgeous cake that captures the moment and tastes as good as it looks!
At BaklaJava, we stick to the basics in cake flavors: Butter Vanilla, Chocolate, Lemon Buttermilk, Carrot, Coconut. We also have Red Velvet to follow the current trend, and are perfecting a White almond flavor cake that I remember loving as wedding cake when I was growing up in Rochester, NY.
Our frostings are the real thing, buttercream, chocolate fudge, cream cheese, whipped cream and variations of those, all made from scratch, as are our cakes. We use the same varieties for fillings, plus lemon curd and cookie crunch. Bottom line, our cakes are SCRUMPTIOUS!! I promise, cakes that taste as GOOD as they LOOK!!
And as for how our cakes look, they look amazing! I can confidently and proudly say that our talented bakers, Janet and Elizabeth, can decorate a cake that will surprise and delight you according to any theme you come up with!
Check out our pictures to see some of our cakes. Just bring us your ideas, decorations, colors, or whatever represents the character and desired ambiance of your celebration and we will prepare a centerpiece cake to match it!

Breakfast
Everything we make at BaklaJava is prepared from scratch and baked fresh in our shop. Lemon blueberry and morning glory (carrot, apple, coconut, raisin and walnut) muffins are staples, and we also offer seasonal favorites like lemon poppy, pumpkin, or banana walnut muffins. Keeping healthy eating in mind, our lemon blueberry muffins are low-fat, our morning glories are low flour, and we offer bran muffins as well.
Cherry pecan and maple pecan are our most popular scones, and we also offer whole wheat, chocolate chip, blueberry and cranberry orange scones. If you have a craving for a certain muffin or scone, just call us and we will have your favorites ready for you.
We have convinced many people to give up the bagel habit in favor of our fluffy buttermilk biscuits: choose from plain, cheddar, sundried tomato/olive or onion/poppy, or whole wheat. Have a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on one and you’ll never go back to bagels!

Lunch
BaklaJava started with drinks and dessert, but our customers wanted lunch, too. We offer three sit-and-eat or grab-and-go salads: tarragon chicken with cranberries, walnuts, celery; tuna with carrots and celery, and egg without celery (as requested!).
We also make yummy grilled Panini sandwiches like turkey, cheddar, bacon; tuna melts; ham, mozzarella, bruschetta; and roast beef with muenster with Russian dressing. Or you can make up your own combination on either plain or Southwest spicy panini bread.
You’ll also find other special hot and cold lunches and seasonal soups, depending on our inspiration and the weather, so don’t worry about entertaining at home, meet your friends here for lunch. We guarantee you’ll love the atmosphere as well as the delicious food.

Dessert
Growing up in a Greek home, most any day could be a party. We had a big extended family, so it was always someone’s birthday or nameday, and most every Sunday we got together for a big meal. Dessert was always a big part of our meals, and on actual holidays, I don’t remember there being any less than nine desserts on the table.
My mom and I are recipe junkies, we love reading and collecting recipes. One of the best gifts Mom ever gave me was a recipe box filled with her recipes typed on a manual typewriter. She is often surprised to find items she made years ago in our display case. Mixed berry crumb cake was awesome when I was a kid and still is! I guess I had to open BaklaJava because I could never have otherwise been able to use all the recipes I’ve gathered up over the years!
My mom also made the desserts for our family’s restaurant. She is well known in my hometown for her Greek desserts, particularly her baklava, rice pudding and variety cheesecakes. Growing up I spent many hours standing by her side as she baked, and we made a hobby out of searching out our favorite bakeries around town.
I enjoy making the Greek desserts I grew up with, especially our namesake baklava, kourabiedes (Greek melt-in-your-mouth Wedding cookies), paximathia (Greek style biscotti) and koulourakia (Greek butter twist cookies). It’s so rewarding for me to hear young mothers say how much their toddlers love my koulourakia. They are perfect for teething, not too sweet and no preservatives. For the rest of us nothing is better dunked in coffee or milk than koulourakia and paximathia. Pure heaven!
My favorite part of the job is helping customers plan the desserts for that special party. We have so many luscious desserts to choose from and it’s fun to help my customers decide on a combination of goodies that will delight their guests and perfectly fit the occasion. Of course, being the Queen of cake lovers, I especially enjoy discussing the cake flavors and design that will reflect a celebration.
