“Of Peter’s cakes, Todd Kliman of Washingtonian says,
“If you want to test the boundaries of gastronomic excess,
you can’t do much better than the chocolate cake.”
— Washingtonian Magazine, September 2006
EVERY CAKE I MAKE IS HANDCRAFTED using only the finest French chocolate, pure unsalted butter, and the freshest nuts and seasonal fruits. My signature cakes combine complementary layers of taste and texture within each tier.
