…not new to Columbus, I’m sure – but definitely new to me. While hitting Tensuke Market in Kenny Centre over the weekend, my husband and I stopped into Crescent Cafe & Bakery just to see what they had. I so have a new favorite dessert – this strawberry shortcake (Japanese style) rocks my world, light and refreshing and perfect for the season. And a true bargain at less than $3 a slice.
In addition to the above, they have other confections like flourless chocolate cakes, their “rare” (different, not very sweet, but very fluffy) cheesecake, tiramisu, and other more strange things like red bean paste pastries and the like. It’s definitely worth a stop the next time you go to Tensuke or Penzey’s or Sher E Punjab or any of the other fine stores in the center.
If you’d like to go: Crescent Cafe & Bakery, 1168 Kenny Centre Mall, Columbus, 614.451.2073

That cake looks very similar to the cakes at Golden Delight on Bethel. GD cakes have strawberries and kiwis, and are very light with that cream/fruit in the middle.
Golden Delight cakes are delicious! We buy all our birthday/celebratory cakes from there.
Have you ever been to GD before?

Hi! this is my first time commenting, but I have been reading you blog for some time now. I live in Columbus, and I love seeing your reviews and the places your recommend. I agree with Kelly on the Golden Delight cake, it is delicious.
But I am really commenting because I have been curious how one gets involved with the Daring Bakers, its something I would love to be a part of.
Thanks for helping me get to better know my city!
