"...Bonus Points: My front-row (!) seat featured a gift bag containing what can only be described as the best chocolate-covered honey cake I've ever had. It was from Bee Desserts, which, henceforth, is where I will be ordering my special treats." ~Cheryl Shops Blog, Sept 13th 2009

"Bits & Morsels. Jordana Z. saw Hoda and Kathy Lee eating something called chocolate covered honey cakes on the Today Show, tracked 'em down and all I can say is I betcha can't eat Just One! "

"A few weeks ago on the fourth hour (the best hour) of The Today Show, Hoda Kotb and Kathy Lee Gifford were viewed by millions of devotees devouring these chocolate covered honey cakes. I had never seen these two gals eat anything on camera quite like this.

So, one could only deduce that these cakes, which didn't last for more than a few seconds on screen, were worth tracking down.

Here's the story: The honey cakes are made by Bee Desserts, which operates out of Claudia Steves's restaurant, La Palette (I happen to LOVE the crepes at La Pallete, especially the spinach, mushroom and gruyere).

The lovely Claudia hails from Brazil and her passion: desserts, desserts, desserts. The cakes are all natural, made with whole wheat flour and honey instead of processed white sugar. They have no preservatives, which doesn’t matter much because they won’t last long in anyone's possession.

Her cakes are all handmade from a family recipe and come in plain, marshmallow and Liqueur. And they make excellent hostess gifts.

Chocolate Quote of the Day

“The Spanish ladies of the New World are madly addicted to chocolate, to such a point that, not content to drink it several times each day, they even have it served to them in church.”
Jean-Antheleme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826)
The Physiology of Taste (1825)
Bee Desserts currently specializes in all natural chocolate covered honey cakes. The honey cakes are a family recipe of Claudia Steves, a unique take on a traditional dessert. Each cake is entirely handmade and packaged, and contains no preservatives or chemical additives. Our chocolate honey cake is a moist cake baked with honey in place of traditional white sugar, and coated in a hard shell of 70% cocoa dark chocolate. There are three flavors available: original, marshmallow and liquor.
Honey cakes are just the first of whole line of all-natural desserts coming soon to the public, so stay tuned!

After five years in the making, Bee Desserts has taken flight! Bee Desserts is not only a line of desserts, but a brand known for delightfully imaginative recipes made from all natural ingredients.
