At Carousel Cakes, the family tradition of baking goes back generations. Raised in a foster home, Martin Lefkowitz's sweet tooth led him to his ultimate destiny - founding the bakery to the stars. Carousel Cakes' recipe for success may be straightforward, but it’s also nearly impossible to duplicate: First-class ingredients, five decades of expert baking skills, and the extra effort of mixing everything by hand and with love go into every cake and cupcake. From their red and blue velvet cakes to their decadent chocolate cakes and cupcakes, every dessert coming out of Carousel’s kitchen is a tasty example of why they’re Oprah's favorite.
