[My Favorite Park Slope...] Business Name -- The Cake Ambience

What I LOVE about the Flatbush and Dean Street bakery, The Cake Ambiance, is the name. I’ve been told by several bed partners that I often giggle and smile in my sleep while repeating it over and over, those two surprisingly brought together words: cake and ambiance. 

I’m sure The Cake Ambiance’s confections are delectable. The bible psalm 90:12 cake looks delicious, as does the mint green and gold beaded matching pumps and purse cake. Also, I’m fan of an “A” sanitary inspection grade (Wahoo! give it up for Cake Ambiance’s “A”!). However, it’s the artistry of the name itself that makes me giggle like a cartoon kitty. The craft of taking two words that don’t go together and bravely putting them where no two words have gone before, that, my friend, takes guts and imagination. 

Cake is, well…it’s cake. Ambiance is the character and atmosphere of a place. The two together blow my mind. Not as much as anything that badass Neil deGrasse Tyson says or the fact that I recently met a little girl named Persephone, but my grey matter is, nonetheless, blown by the word pairing.

In the delta brain waves of my fantasy sleep I imagine these other Park Slope eating establishments popping up:

The Sandwich Décor

A Yogurt Mood

Tone of Sushi

Bar-B-Que Milieu

One can only dream…
