Pure Baked Goods
Yes, everything is scratch-baked on-site. Scratch-baked means our cakes are made from flour, sugar, butter, oil, chocolate, or whatever basic ingredients they require - not from a package cake mix. It also means that we make all of our own doughs, like puff pastry, danish, strudel and pie doughs, rather than purchasing them ready-made.
Yes, complimentary Wi-Fi is available for Crixa customers Tuesday through Friday from 9 AM to 6:30 PM and Saturdays from 9 AM to 11 AM and 5 PM to 6:30 PM.
Yes, our elegant and tasty special occasion cakes are often used for weddings. Crixa cakes are scratch-baked using high-quality ingredients from around the world. Our Special Order large-size 12" round cakes will serve up to 40 people. Many customers choose a variety of our cakes and pies, along with an assortment of our pastries, for their wedding events.

Crixa's use of pure ingredients and slower hand-made processes isn't new or trendy - it's the way our better tasting baked goods have traditionally been produced. Crixa uses organic ingredients whenever they meet our quality standards and are not price-prohibitive.
