One of the greatest perks of being in sales is the ability to drive around the state and explore the wonderful mom and pop shops. Being Italian I am a sucker for authentic homemade Italian pastries. Lucky for me on my way back from a listing I took in Cromwell, I found Patty Cakes!
Patty Cakes is a truly authentic Italian pastry and deli shop. They are located on RT 3 (948 Cromwell Avenue, Rocky Hill, CT 06067). I was greeted by a friendly staff and was asked to sample their cannoli filling. O-M-G! Hands down the creamiest, smoothest, richest, and best filling I have ever experienced. Couple that with a fresh, crunchy cannoli shell.. you have a match made in heaven!
In addition to purchasing 3 cannolis I tried a ricotta square and pistachio cake. Both equally delectable in freshness and quality. The ricotta square was sweet, moist and had morsels of chocolate chips in every bite. The pistachio cake was unlike any cake I’ve ever had. I was pleasantly surprised to taste that yummy ricotta filling in the cannoli in the cake!
Although I couldn’t contain myself in sampling before I snapped a shot, here is what the pastries look like.
I HIGHLY recommend everyone tries Patty Cakes in Rocky Hill. I know I will be there for their zeppoles on St. Joseph’s Day. Happy eating!! :)
