I woke up so early and rushed out to see if I could get a glimpse of a sunrise on the last day of the year. Too cloudy; oh well.
I decided then that a visit to the downtown Rehoboth Beach bakeries would be the thing to do. Come New Year’s Day full of 2012 resolutions that will go out the window the moment you see what the bakeries will have; sticky buns, danish, muffins, cupcakes, donuts, breads….wash it down with a cup of coffee; I like it bold, not regular.
The Bake Shoppe is located at 222 Rehoboth Avenue. Tel. 302-226-0176. It will open at 6:30 a.m. This bakery has been in Rehoboth Beach for so many years. They are known for their traditional Polish Babkas. The pictures do not lie; check them out and start drooling.
 Babkas 
 
 
The next bakery I visited was Pasqualini’s Bakery located at 375 Atlantic Ave. Tels. 302-227-2111, 302-227-1086. Website? www.pasqualinis.com.
They will be opening on New Year’s Day from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. Please note that all baked goods will be 1/2 off. They will be closing until March.
   
Cake Break is one of the much loved bakeries in Downtown Rehoboth Beach. It is located at 7 South First St. Tel. 302-260-9264. Website? www.cakebreakrehoboth.com. You can find Cake Break on Facebook and Twitter. They will be opening New Year’s Day at 8 a.m.

Thanks for the coffee Debbie!!
My last stop was The Point. This is a Coffee House and Bake Shoppe, located at “the point” where route 1 meets 1 A. It is 722 Rehoboth Ave. Extended. Tel. 302-260-9734. The Point will be opening on New Year’s Day at 7 a.m. until 3 p.m.
Coming in my eyes took off to the case with all the baked goods…..The Point bakes everything in-house and most of the coffees are also roasted in-house. Plenty of seating to relax.
They offer all the sweet stuff like sticky buns, cinnamon buns, made to order waffles, biscotti, croissants, artisan breads and birthday and holiday cakes, as well.
  
Espresso, capuccino, frappes, smoothies and more. Local King’s Ice Cream. Free-Wi-Fi and parking. Order to go or stay awhile.
My latte was delicious and thanks Tom for a very nice treat; a biscotti.
Just enjoying my latte when a gorgeous quiche came out of the kitchen. For lunch they offer salads, sandwiches and soup, as well.
To the gentleman from New Jersey that I talked his ear off….it was nice meeting you.
And to all of you?….Happy New Year….Much health and prosperity and time to enjoy it all!!!

It is dangerous out there, when you are out and about in Rehoboth Beach. Plenty of temptations is what I meant to say. Too many places to eat or just to grab something. The Downtown Rehoboth eateries are so accessible that if you don’t exercise self control you might find yourself in trouble.
But, if that happened to be the case, then, walk the Boardwalk. I believe that it is a mile each way. There you have it, a perfect solution.
Stopped at Cake Break on Thursday, right after the GreenMan’s breakfast, with my friend Jody. Some cupcakes needed to be ordered. Cake Break is located at 7 South First St. Tel. 302-260-9264. Website? www.cakebreak.com. On Facebook, as well.
Just in time to see some beautiful baked goods coming out of their kitchen.
The sticky buns looked delicious. Out of the oven they were warm, I am sure. Thank God I was perfectly satified, having just had my tofu and the shot of wheat grass.
Then, the cinnamon buns appeared out of nowhere. Nice and round with that cinnamon aroma that is so distinguishable.
I noticed the table on the side. A little girl was with her mother. She was so busy decorating her cupcake she hardly noticed me. She had a heavy hand with the decoration. She was so happy with her creation. Off she went having started her day in the most satisfying way.
Cake Break has been open 7 days a week year round. Debbie, her husband and staff are always hard at work. Call them up and you can pick up your selections at curbside.
It is the only bakery in Downtown Rehoboth Beach that is a nut free facility. Cake Break offers vegan cupcakes, gluten free cupcakes and vegan and gluten free icing, as well.
P.S. Cake Break makes one good cup of coffee.
Have a great day!!…Talk to you later…

What a million dollar day!! If you are here, at the Delaware Beaches, you know what I mean. Just like everybody else, I am trying to spruce up my house for that time of the season when we enjoy that laissez fare type of living. I could not believe that the guy that came here yesterday spent all day cleaning the gutters, power washing everything in sight. My house could be a commercial for Bleach.
Today, I went to one of the favorite bakeries in Rehoboth Beach. Cake Break is located at 7 South First Street. The Tel. is 302-260-9264. Check the website www.facebook.com/cakebreakrehoboth. Cake Break is a gourmet cupcake company but that is not the only thing they bake. They also have special orders, cakes, breads, and buns. Coffee and light breakfast is available, as well.
I had ordered yesterday a special order bread for my husband who has to eat gluten free. It is a vegan gluten free bread and it is sitting on my counter waiting for him.
I noticed that Cake Break had a few new beer cupcakes. I took a few pictures of them so you could see them.
The Black-N-Tan Guinness Beer Cake with Baileys Irish Cream Icing and a Chocolate Rock on Top.
Then, there was the Car Bomb which was a Guinness Cake with Baileys Irish Cream Icing and Jameson Chocolate Ganache filling. They also have a Dogfish cupcake.
They always have the cinnamon buns.
One of the newest additions that attracted my attention were the Cake Pops. They are made out of vanilla, chocolate or red velvet. Diane made me eat one; the vanilla. It was delicious. These Cape Pops were taken to the Rehoboth Beach Chocolate Festival and they sold hundreds of them. They are easy to eat because one will satisfy that sweet craving without feeling like you ate the whole cake; perfect for a party or hostess gift.
Open every day, Cake Break is a must stop bake shop in Rehoboth Beach. Please remember that this bake shop is a nut free facility, as well.
Talk to you later……

Some of the side streets in Rehoboth Beach might look a little quiet now, but let’s not forget the businesses that are there day in and day out. Cake Break is one of them. Open year round, at 7:30 a.m. for breakfast, serving bagel sandwiches, breakfast pastries, organic coffee and espresso.

Their rum raisin bread pudding cupcake/muffin is so delicious with a light icing.
Fresh bread is baked daily: challa, old fashioned loaf, white, and baguettes.
Plus 20 flavors of gourmet cupcakes.
Cake Break is a nut free facility; gluten free, vegan, vegan icing, for those of you with food allergies.
I wanted to pass this info. to you just in case you are walking around Rehoboth and need a sweet fix. But that’s not all because Cake Break is taking special orders for holiday cupcakes and cakes. All you need to do is given them a call.
Have a great Holiday Season….talk to you later….

Yes, all those grilled vegetables, sausages, and pineapple, that’s what I had for dinner. In my own home.
After all that eating yesterday, I needed to stay put. Remember? I had a donut (big one!), and then I went for a full dinner at Eden on Baltimore Ave. in Rehoboth Beach. I will be writing a post on Eden soon.
There is something about outdoor cooking. Not just cooking but grilling. I think it is the ritual. My preference? Coals on a Weber Grill. The thrill of working over a live fire. I enjoy it. I watch the coals get that nice gray color and love to hear the sizzle upon placing the food on the hot grill. Definitely with charcoal the food cooks hotter.
I marinated the vegetables for some time in Gazebo Room, Lite Greek Salad Dressing & Marinade. I got it at my local Giant Supermarket. This dressing and marinade is delicious, and of course, the longer you marinade, the better it will taste.
I had 2 types of sausages; a fresh Spanish Chorizo (not gluten free) and a Weisswurst, German veal white sausage, which was gluten free. I basted them with Organic Ville Tangy BBQ Sauce, made with Agave and gluten free.
First on the grill were all the vegetables. I chose different peppers, zucchini, and yellow squash.
Then the sausages went on and the fire was pretty hot so they were not going to take long. I like them well done. Both, the vegetables and the sausages were basted often during the grilling period.
It was the pineapple’s turn to go on the grill. I basted it with the Gazebo Dressing and I decided that it got sweeter after grilling. Delicious.
No, I did not have dessert but gluten free chocolate cup cakes were available from Cake Break located at 7 South First St. in Rehoboth Beach.
The evening was balmy and I want that endless summer of ocean breezes and salty air to just stay put for awhile.
See you…talk to you later…kick back and relax….it’s September; best time at the Delaware and Maryland Beaches!!!

Hey, how are you? This is the third time I am going to be talking about cupcakes.
Is there a battle between Cupcakes and Muffins; Really? A Faceoff, no less.
What are the differences between one another and, which ones do we ultimately like best?
Ask anyone and they will tell you that the differences are that the cupcakes have that wonderful frosting which evoke childhood memories; the muffin, well it’s just a muffin.
But, no way, the difference is really about sweetness. The cupcake is a “small cake” and one individual portion; whereas, the muffin, while also an individual portion is often sweetened, but not necessarily.
Muffins tend to be more like breads. They are more dense and therefore, more flour is used. There is a marked difference in texture. The cupcake is much lighter and, of course, there is that icing.
I had mentioned to a couple of people that I was going to be visiting Cake Break located at 7 South First St., Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. Tel. 302-260-9264. Website www.cakebreakrehoboth.com. They are on Facebook and Twitter. E-mail is cakebreakrehoboth@gmail.com. They are open from 7:30 a.m. until 10:00 p.m.
Rachel Rockstarr contacted me through this blog and told me that I needed to try them. Some of the people I talked to had different opinions; I needed to check them out myself.
At Cake Break I met Eleanor, Samjeeb, Andriy and Jackie. All work in different capacities and all very eager to show me the shop.
It is not only cupcakes that are baked and sold here but they also have Surf Bagels, coffee, newspapers, cinnamon rolls, smoothies and breakfast cupcakes. The menu changes daily. You may choose to sit on one of their stools or outside on the bench.
Cake Break can customize any cupcake. They also bake special order cakes. Just give them a little bit of time and they will have them ready for you. You can also call Cake Break ahead of time and pick up your order at curbside.
Customers with food allergies should breathe a sight of relief. They offer Vegan, Nut Free and Gluten Free cupcakes. The Gluten Free and the Nut Free can easily be iced, but they are still in the developing stages of a Vegan free icing. Remember that vegans do not consume any animal products.
The chocolate gluten free cupcake got the best reviews in my household. We have tried many of them and by far this one was the best.
The Red Velvet with red cocoa, and cream cheese icing was delicious but I have to tell you that my personal favorite was the Rum Raisin Bread Pudding cupcake/muffin. It had cinnamon, raisins and a rum icing.
Eleanor loves to make coffee and I had an iced coffee latte and off I went to explore what else Rehoboth had to offer on a summer day.
The question by Cake Break to you is, “Is it time for you to take a cake break.?”
And, my question to you is, Will Cake Break make it into the Cup Cake Wars on t.v.? Stay tuned.
Note: If you would like to check my other 2 posts on cupcakes, then go to the left hand side of this blog and under Archives click on January and scroll down to the 5th. That was Sweet Sin in Baltimore, Maryland. You can check the other post by clicking on the month of June and scroll down to the 14th and that company, Cupcake Couture is in Delray Beach, Florida.
Have a great week-end!!
