Community Each Sunday afternoon, before we settle in for a quiet Monday off, we have one last visitor who always comes to see us at La Renaissance. For just over a year now, a representative from Spread the Dough drops by our bakery every Sunday to pick up whatever fresh items we did not sell that day. The baked goods are taken to a local shelter, senior facility or food pantry and used to help feed those in need of a meal.
Spread the Dough relies on volunteers and residents to pick up unused goods from local bakeries and cafés and deliver them to those in need. They currently have chapters in several states on the east coast, including New York, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont and Virginia, and are working towards becoming a nationally recognized non-profit. La Renaissance is proud to be a part of their effort!

Today through June 14, you can get a special deal on our Fresh Fruit Tart. Simply mention that you read about it here, and we’ll give you 20% off a 9″ Fresh Fruit Tart (regularly $30 – serves 8-10), or buy four mini Fresh Fruit Tarts and get one free.

There’s nothing we like to do more than help you create a unique and delicious cake for your special occasion.
This month, we’d like to share with you two cakes that we created this month–one for a First Communion, and one for a baby shower.
The Communion cake shown above is actually an oversize sheet version of a Napoleon, with flaky layers of puff pastry layered with vanilla cream and covered with chocolate and vanilla icing. The baby shower cake below–a Strawberry Shortcake with custom decoration–was a special commission for a party held at Mulino’s Italian Restaurant in White Plains, NY.
Have an idea for a cake you’d like to have created for a special occasion? Whether it’s a first communion, a baby shower, a bridal shower, a retirement party or any other occasion, the experts at La Renaissance are ready to assist you in creating just the right cake, with any filling, shape or size you desire. Visit the custom cake image gallery on our web site to see more of our work…
