Tasting Table recently published their picks for Where to Get The Best Slice Of Cake In Every State (Read Story).

The article highlights standout cake destinations across the country, based on online reviews and major award databases.

Their focus is on true cake experiences—“you won’t find us waxing poetic about any cupcakes on this list” the editors note.

Instead they spotlight bakeries known for quality slices or individual patisserie-style cakes, with a preference for substance, not just style.

Bergen County is the home of New Jersey’s pick, Erie Coffeeshop and Bakery in Rutherford.

Erie was selected for its “small-town, homemade vibes” and its “stunningly decorated whole cakes in addition to slices.”

The bakery’s most celebrated item is its citrus olive oil cake, topped with a “citrus-vanilla glaze that nails the delicate balance between tart and sweet.”

This signature item as a guaranteed day-brightener for those who enjoy fresh, citrus-forward desserts according to the article.
