Looking for a specialty cake? Fragapane’s Italian Wedding Cake is legendary — filled with strawberries and iced with whipped cream. Also, the bakery’s seven-layered amaretto cake features a raspberry filling between each layer and is topped with chocolate fudge and colorful sprinkles.
Fragapane Bakery first opened its doors in 1971 and now has two locations. Business owners and brothers Nick and Mike Fragapane represent the family-owned business’ second generation. They have encouraged an even younger generation to take pride in the bakery’s 11 kinds of donuts, its wide variety of breads, eclairs, cannolis, snickers, pecan rolls, scones and more.
