Yes, but not for a while. It was very good though. I did have some kind of mocha concoction!
Yes, then I know where it is
S&S has often been a last minute pit stop on holidays or for last minute invites when everything else is closed. The little deli/bodega next door always has them on hand in their fridge!

I haven’t had it in years, but La Renaissance in Scarsdale makes a signature cake " La Renaissance" that is wonderful, have you ever tried it.
Is Carrot Top’s icing cream cheese , is it overly sweet?
Sorry - did I miss something? I thought we were talking generally about what kinds of cakes we like, not just ones from a particular geographic area. If I misunderstood - apologies!
Ooops! Now I see that it was about cake in Westchester CT and LI. Oh well - at least I got to mention my grandmother’s dobos torte on HO. Sorry all!
It was changed after the fact … I’m trying to start a general "what’s your favorite cake " thread, but don’t know where to do it. Thank you for posting here … I had a Hungarian grandmother too, amongst other things she made a poppy seed cake, that was crazy good.
Great thread! More love for Lloyd’s. I used to work down the street from them (and near the old Stella D’Oro factory too - may it rest in peace!) - those two years surely tested my restraint! 
Lloyd’s carrot cake is very memorable. Their red velvet is good too, but carrot is what makes them famous.
Flour & Sun in Pleasantville makes a yummy strawberry cake - butter cake with fresh strawberries mixed in and a strawberry buttercream frosting. It’s so good, I’ve tried to recreate it at home. In the summer, they offer it as a cupcake, but you can special order the cake or cupcakes any time of the year.

Try putting it under general.

There are pie people and there are cake people. I’m a pie person, so I don’t have a favorite cake. Except maybe an apple cake with plenty of apple chunks 'cause it’s almost like a pie. For example:

Speaking of cakes. I had Tarte tropezienne in Provence this past winter for the first time and loved it. Has anyone seen this in Westchester?

Definitely have not seen anything like it,and my waist is thankful. I would guess either La Tulipe or jean jacques might be willing to make it or some place in nyc.

Good call on La Tulipe. I haven’t seen it at Jean Jacques. I’m a little embarrassed to admit how many I ate in my short time there. Dorie Greenspan has a recipe for it but I haven’t attempted it yet!
There is also L’Anjou in Mt kisco - behind Boston Market. That looks wonderful and one I have not heard of - what is it?

It’s basically a brioche filled with pastry cream topped with coarse sugar. I guess it straddles the line between pastry and cake but I think of it as a mini cake-- although it also comes in a large 8-9" round size too.
I’ve never been to L’Anjou! Will definitely have to check out!
Sounds great
The stuff is very good at L’Anjou - La Tulipe may be a bit prettier, but L’Anjou is very tasty.

It looks like a vanilla whoopie pie with sprinkles of some kind - say that could be the next big trend L

I totally missed this! You can still get a fantastic ice cream sandwich cake from Sherry B’s in Chappaqua. Unfortunately, they closed their cafe in favor of opening a bigger operation in Manhattan, but they still have limited hours (12-3 on most days) and they have smaller ice cream sandwiches ready for purchase). Just call them for a larger order like a sandwich cake. I got to have a piece at my son’s friend’s party and it was absolutely scrumptious!
