Have you ever tasted heaven? I am sure you probably have. It comes in all forms, all shapes and sizes, all flavors and consistencies, all temperatures and textures. But if you have a wicked sweet tooth, then heaven is waiting just inside the doors of the historic Paddock Arcade in downtown Watertown, New York. A very short walk down the old hallway once you enter the double glass doors in front. Right there on the left hand side…Monica is weaving her magic behind the windows of Europe Cakes. Renowned for her cake decorating expertise (she was taught by the best), Monica creates beautiful pastries and baked goodies for any occasion…
