You might think twice before taking the first bite of a Masse's confection -- these babies are works of art. How about a pirate-ship cake with wind-filled sails? Or perhaps you'd like to test drive the spun-sugar Corvettes atop your quintuple-layer? Whatever your dream, Paul and Marsha Masse will make it real, then dress it with a glaze, a mousse -- or a moose. That's what you get when an art history major with a florist's license and a pastry chef from the Culinary Institute of America really begin to cook. You won't believe what they do with the everyday cannelloni or fresh fruit tart, and their wedding cakes have been known to steal the spotlight from the bride. A special occasion is not needed to partake in the fantasy; just pop over at the bakery. The cases are always full of nearly anything you can imagine. But if you need something special, the Masse's will grant your request -- so long as it's not a two-layer job with canned butter cream and chocolate jimmies.

The quality at this pastry shop is the best in the bay area. I have been going to this shop for 7 years and have never had anything that was less than exceptionally delicious!

tastes awful. if you want a piece of art, buy it. otherwise, look for a place with real food.
