Christine's Cakes and Pastries

                I know this isn’t a restaurant, but I had to talk about it. It has to do with food, so I think it still counts. Christine’s Cakes and Pastries is a bakery in Shelby Township, and they make the best cake I’ve ever had. Since I have a such a big sweet tooth, this place is right up my alley.    
                Anyways, Christine’s cakes are delicious. I’ve only had the chocolate cake, but I’m sure every other kind has to be just as good. But I want to talk about their chocolate cake with the butter cream frosting under the chocolate icing. These sometimes are referred to as “bumpy cakes”, if you’ve heard that phrase before. The bumpy cake is so rich, and the butter cream frosting is also rich and creamy. Christine’s sells whole bumpy cakes, bumpy cake slices, and bumpy cake cupcakes. (I recently gave a couple of the cupcakes to friend as a thank you gift. Needless to say, my friend loved them!) I have tried them all (of course!) and they are all so good.
                Just a few other “bites” of info: Besides cakes, Christine’s makes brownies, cookies, cream puffs, éclairs, tarts, and many other pastries. I have not tried these, unfortunately, but they look delicious and I definitely want to try them soon.
                Go to Christine’s. Ask for a slice of the bumpy cake, or a cupcake, or even a whole cake! Eat and enjoy it. Repeat.
