The Bakery House

When we discovered that this unassuming storefront bakeshop in Bryn Mawr made the to-die-for chocolate cake served at a tony Main Line 40th birthday party, we rushed to place our own orders. The cakes are dense yet airy, with chocolate buttercream icing that's just the right balance of sweet and creamy. The bakery may be staffed by college kids, but these cakes are pure grown-up fare.
