C. Marie's Sweets, Colleyville

When frosting her signature cakes, cookies, and sweets, C. Marie’s Sweets’ professional pastry chef Christine Shulman draws on her lifetime of baking scholarship and experience. The bakery fills with the aroma of cupcakes and cakes in uncommon flavors, such as black forest with red cherries and italian-buttercream frosting and yellow cake with sweet amaretto liquor and almond buttercream. A dozen signature sugar cookies can be custom decorated with snowflakes for Christmas or Grover Cleveland's face for Presidents’ Day, and peanut-butter cookies coddle Hershey kisses. Bakery specialties include an espresso-infused tiramisu and chocolate-ganache brownies with creamy, mustache-clinging frosting.
