Cupcakes by Fantasy Cake Company – Our Go to for Birthdays

Posted on May 7, 2026May 1, 2026 by Jupiter

Now, I must say that when our children were younger, I use to always make their birthday cakes!

It is one of the last great traditional Central European coffee houses, ran by the family that founded it 80 years ago. Over the years, a large number of famous writers and artists have frequented this cafe, so it’s got tons of history in it too.
