Zosaro’s Bakery

I got a cinnamon roll here the other day and let me tell you… it was perfect. Not too sweet, not too sticky. The cinnamon roll is huge, definitely enough for at least two people. I can’t wait to try more items from Zosaro’s!
I don’t think many people know about Zosaro’s yet because it is a bit tucked away and they did a quick open (probably in hopes of cashing in on business) during the UCI world championships. It seems to be a great addition to the Lakeside area!

Zosaro’s Bakery just recently opened near Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens on Lakeside Avenue. They offer a variety of bakery items including turnovers, cookies, cupcakes, slices of cake and other confections; they also create cakes for special occasions (birthdays, weddings etc.). I went with a co-​worker as they are only a short walk from our facility. I ordered a piece of their Australian Mudcake; one word: DIVINE! The frosting was like silk, creamy but not overly rich. The cake was a perfect consistency, spongy and moist but not thick or heavy. There was also a hint of coffee flavor that only came out after I was done with each bite, it was the perfect afterthought. Within 2 bites I knew that this cake needed to be eaten slowly and savored. With each bite, I closed my eyes and just reveled in the sheer delight of the desert. I highly recommend trying any of their items — if the cake was that savory, I feel that all of their other items must be just as good.
