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……

I know you might not be able to think on New Year’s Day, so let me help you a bit. Dowtown Rehoboth Beach has 3 very good and very different bakeries; all with their own unique specialties. One thing in common is that they do offer coffee, and come New Year’s Day, well, that might be something very much needed.
Are you staying in a hotel in Rehoboth? Or, crashing at a friend’s house? All these bakeries are pretty much within walking distance if you are staying in town. Well, you might want to drive to Pasqualini’s. So, let’s get down to business.
Pasqualini’s Bakery is located at 375 Atlantic Avenue, Rehoboth Beach. Tel. is 302-227-2111, 302-227-1086. They are right behind the Crystal Restaurant. Their website is www.pasqualini.com.
I stopped and found out that they will be open for business all week-end. Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. On Sunday, they will be selling all their baked goods at 50%. Yes, they are taking off until March when they will open the week-end of the Chocolate Festival.
The bakery smelled delicious; they all do. Their coffee cakes are shipped all over the country.
Beautiful pies were displayed and I was drooling.
The fresh baked breads looked amazing.
The Bake Shoppe is located at 222 Rehoboth Ave., tel. 302-226-0176. They have been in this location for 12 years and continue to open year-round.
When I stopped for that brief visit, they were peeling apples, already plenty of baked goods were gone and they were getting ready for a busy week-end.
They are the home of the Split Cream Donut, which I had the pleasure of eating completely when I wrote a post on 9/6/10. If you want to see that post just click on the month of September, 2010 and scroll down to the date.
It is a full service bake shop.
Cake Break is located at 7 South First St., tel. is 302-260-9264. Website is www.cakebreakrehoboth.com. They are on Twitter and Facebook.
I have written about this bake shop several times but the first one was on 8/20/10. If you would like to see it just click on the month of August 2010 and scroll down to the date.
Cake Break was referred to me by Rachel Rockstarr, who had been reading my blog. Of the 3 bakeries, this one is the only one that can claim to be completely a nut free facility. This is important because anyone with a nut allergy can safely go into the bake shop.
They also open every day of the week. New chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin cookies were out.
The Christmas cookies were staring at my face. I resisted, though.
The cinnamon rolls and croissants were out too but I continued with my will power.
Known for their cupcakes, they are also happy to announce that they can offer a gluten free/vegan cupcake with icing. They are the only ones offering them at the Delaware Beaches.
If you happen to be in Rehoboth around the hour of 3 p.m., that’s when their breads come out of the oven. They call it Aroma Bread Therapy; you know that there is nothing better than the smell of freshly baked bread. Please stop by and enjoy.
Also they have lots of specials in the local papers. Check them out, as well.
I left with a good cup of coffee and 4 gluten free/vegan cupcakes with icing. We have enjoyed them and are pretty much gone.
The gentleman that I spoke to was buying a box full of cupcakes for his guests this week-end. They looked delicious and I hope he enjoyed them, as well.
If you are looking for a full breakfast experience then I know of a couple of places:
The Crystal Restaurant opens every day. They are located at 620 Rehoboth Ave. Tel. 302-227-1088. Plenty of parking and plenty of breakfast choices for the whole family.
I wrote a post on 8/13/09. I had just started my blog. No, I don’t have pictures of my breakfast. I guess I have to gather a few of those friends of mine and meet there soon. If you want to see that post just click on August 2009 and scroll down to the date.
Greenman Juice Bar & Bistro located at 12 Wilmington Ave. is also open this week-end. Tel. is 302-227-4901. They are also open for lunch. You can find them on Facebook.
I wrote a post on 12/17/10 and if you would like to see it, please click on the month of December and scroll down to the date.
One of these days I will have to break down and have that amazing French Toast they offer.
I hope those choices help. You won’t be dissappointed…..Again, a New Year….full of hope and possibilities….Have a good One!!!!

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!!
