116th and St. Nicholas
Make My Cake, coming soon!
116th and Frederick Douglass
The flatiron building at 116th and St. Nicholas is being renovated. Slowly, ever so slowly, renovated. In the few years since people moved back into the building a beauty salon and a dollar store have opened. Yesterday, I noticed the "Make My Cake" sign. Just what I need on the way to work! They used to be at 110th and Lenox but closed a few months ago (that building looks like it is about to be torn down). I think there's another Make My Cake further uptown.
Also getting ready to be torn down is the Douglas Auto Diagnostics Center, Inc. a block further west at 116th and Frederick Douglass. I don't know if Douglas was supposed to be Douglass. The repair shop hasn't been open in a few weeks and I'm guessing isn't too much longer for this world. Maybe there will be another bakery!
Because I'd never heard of them, I went to the Make My Cake website - the other location is at 139th and Adam C. Powell Boulevard. And their logo is funny. Have you ever had a cake from MMC?

I had a cookie once when they were at 110th street. It wasn't memorable, but I've heard their cakes are good.

Yay! Make My Cake! They have the most delicious red velvet cupcakes. Thanks for the info, Joe. I had been missing the 116h and Lenox location.

And thank you for the red velvet cupcake tip! If they open early in the morning I'm in serious trouble.

There is a new cafe, Sugarhill Java and Tea on 145th Street, that sells the delicious desserts baked by Make My Cake. Good coffee and sweet treats finally together above 125th Street in Harlem.
