New Shop opens Wednesday Oct. 19

Thursday, October 13th, 2011

After about eight long and crazy weeks of being closed, while moving the bakery, we are finally set to reopen this coming Wednesday Oct. 19! We will resume our regular business hours of 10:00am - 6:00pm Wednesdays through Saturdays.

It has been so encouraging to have many unexpected visitors track us down in spite of our sudden move! We truly have been blown away by the tremendous community support and all of you who have continued to stay in touch. We are really looking forward to being back on track and baking up fresh delicious (and new!) desserts that will be a hit with your family and friends.

We are planning a fantastic Open House event which will last all day Saturday Nov. 12. Oh boy. It’s going to be great! You can go to our Facebook page for details, or check back here shortly.

UPDATE: New Location

Sunday, September 4th, 2011

We’ve got big things happening here at the Upper Crust Cakery! We received notice in mid-August that we had to vacate our Penfield Road location, by the end of the month. Although quite unexpected, we now have everything moved into a wonderful new space, less than a quarter-mile away! Our new shop is at 2094 Five Mile Line Road, in the same building as Ciccone Dentistry. It is about one block north of Rt. 441 (Penfield Road), on the right-hand (east) side. As well as having ample public parking, it will be much easier to see the Cakery from the road and navigate two-lane traffic as opposed to four-lane.

We realize many of you have stopped by the previous spot to find us closed or seemingly disappeared. We would have much preferred to give you advance notice and information, but unfortunately the circumstances were beyond our control. We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope you aren’t experiencing any severe cupcake-withdrawal symptoms. We’ll be baking again soon!

We are still unpacking and setting up at the new spot, so don’t swing by quite yet! As usual, we will continue to accommodate advance special-orders (such as birthdays, showers, weddings). Although somewhat delayed in our email/voicemail response time (due to the move), we should be able to accommodate orders for most upcoming weekends starting the weekend of Fri Sept 16. We’ll have a similar (and eventually larger!) retail display case with items available for on-the-spot purchase. We anticipate establishing an eat-in cafe area with hot drinks as well! Once settled in and reorganized, we’d like to host a smashing all-day Open House and you’ll all be invited! You can check our Facebook page for the most recent updates.

Our sincerest thanks to our loyal clients, friends, family, and the Penfield community, who have all been extremely supportive. (”Gary the mailman” was the first person to apprise us of the space we now occupy!) We have been truly astonished at the heartfelt enthusiasm for our business from all of you. We appreciate it so much, and thank you. We’re very much looking forward to having you visit our new spot soon.

Gratefully,

the Upper Crust team

P.S. One other exciting piece of cake news: just before learning we must vacate, we had a call from the Food Network’s “CUPCAKE WARS” casting department. They requested an audition film from us, which we quickly put together and sent in. We now wait for a call to see if the producers think us battle-worthy. You can view our audition here.

BIG NEWS

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011

We are currently CLOSED due to vacation, AND our unexpected-but-exciting location move to another spot in Penfield 4 Corners! (Just a few blocks away, but we’re still In process so exact address to be announced soon.)

Although closed, we are checking our emails and voicemail, and we will
respond as soon as possible. We anticipate reopening in time for next
weekend (Sat Sept 3). Thanks for your patience! We have been blown away by the tremendous community support from our friends and clients. Thank you so much.

Look for more updates soon!

BREADS

Long before the Upper Crust Cakery was officially established, we had the beginnings of the business involved in the local Fairport Farmer’s Market. For several summers, each Saturday we brought homemade yeast and quick breads to the community. It became evident there were a few favorites in particular, and we’re bringing them back for your enjoyment.

Pumpkin Spice, Large Loaf ($8.75/each)

Pumpkin Spice, Small Loaf ($4.00/each)

SPECIALTY COOKIES & BROWNIES

Although cake and cupcakes remain our primary focus at the Upper Crust Cakery, we are passionate about producing tasty cookie and brownie classics as well. Sometimes cookies are just the thing, eliminating the need to cut a cake or remember to bring forks. These are available individually, or we can put together a boxed assortment for you. Please note that we take special care to ensure our cookies are baked soft and chewy, to keep them moist and delicious for your enjoyment.
