Greg Rales gleans inspiration from the baked goods of his childhood, reimagining them with unique and unexpected ingredients. Our pastries, which range from cookies to loaves to celebration cakes, are crafted with premium ingredients and ably walk the line between familiar and sophisticated. Red Gate’s signature creations include Salted Caramel Brownies (chocolate brownies with a thick ribbon of caramel), Brown Butter Blondies (extra buttery, toasted pecan-riddled blondies), Cannibal Cookies (caramelized sugar cookies packed with house-made oreos) White Chocolate Grapefruit Cookies (studded with zesty grapefruit and white chocolate chunks), and Midnight Banana Bread (black cocoa and bittersweet chocolate in warm banana bread), among others. For custom confectionary delight, Red Gate Bakery also offers a line of Celebration Cakes in four flavors: Yellow Birthday Cake with Chocolate Sour Cream Frosting (the perfect combination of sweet and tangy), Vanilla Bean Strawberry Dream (fluffy vanilla sponge complemented with tart pink frosting), Caramelized White Chocolate Stout (nutty caramelized white chocolate with a kick from dark, earthy stout) and the indulgent Toasted Coconut Banana Bacon (bacon fat-infused banana sponge topped with cream cheese frosting and adorned with bacon bits and coconut shavings).
The Betty Bakery is a joint venture by wedding cake experts Cheryl Kleinman and Ellen Baumwoll. The bakery is a homage to the teacher, Betty Von Nostrand, who familiarized the experts to the craft. Apart from that the name gave a homely feel to the place. Cupcakes, fruit pastries, Cinnamon Challah Twists, to name a few, are favorites and Valrhona Chocolate Cakes, rustic plum pie are to die for. Of course, the signature wedding cakes will still be baked, but you can also look out for rich, creamy, chocolaty puddings, and tapioca. You can also place orders for cakes and pastries to take along on a holiday.
