Mad Cakes in Central Austin

I ran into Mad Cakes of Central Austin yesterday and got the surprise of the week. I am sure this is a local secret but it's time to let the cake out of the bag! I stood in line and watch people pickup orders, place orders and take away various cookies, cookie bars and cakes.

Check out the photos I took yesterday to see some of their latest designs. Of course they are not limited to these designs. Speaking to Anne Marie, one of the co-owner along with Rebecca who was working in the bakery room, Anne Marie told me they have been in business about 4 and a half years and currently also have a mobile truck for catering events and corporate functions around town.

Now let me tell you about those award winning Lemon Bars, just the right tartness, perfect weight of crust, not too thin and not overthick. This was undoubtably the best Lemon Bar I have ever tasted. The sizes were generous, I took some back to the office and we cut them into 4 parts. That was more than enough if you wanted to try another flavor too. We also sampled the Bourbon Pecan, it was absolutely awesome, just a hint of a great agood southeern Bourbon in a pecan pie with the thickness of a cookie bar, it was so scrumptious those of us at the office will definitely order more of these. And the double chocolate bars... let's not even try to describe that piece of heavenly delight. All I know is when you have your next chocolate craving day you must run not walk to the Mad Cakes store and get one or two of these delights. You will not be disappointed.

The Lemon Bars are an old family recipe of Anne Marie and Rebecca's mothers. The new LONGHORN ORANGE is a local recipe and sure to be a real favorite with the football and fall season starting up.
