Best desserts in Geneva – 1st Quarter 2017

This post normally celebrates my favourite desserts from a cafe/bakery/pastry shop in Geneva. I have only documented delicacies here that I have tried personally (and many times).

For this quarter, the choice of cakes is fabulous. Manor Bakery in recent years has redoubled its efforts to offer good quality cakes, snacks, bread and French viennoiseries at affordable prices.

It’s here that all Geneva comes to get something quick to eat for lunch or to taste a little sweetness after their grocery shopping at the supermarket.

Manor has a wide choice of pastries and cakes, while nonetheless maintaining high quality standards (you can see the baker working in an open kitchen, it’s a kind of showcase and that  is reassuring to us, the consumers).

Here is a small selection of what you can choose at Manor. You should not hesitate to discover their beautiful and tasty cake creations.

This light and tasty Black Forest gâteau was Sweetheart’s birthday cake a few months ago.

Fresh Fruit Tart (Tourte aux Fruits Frais) which Mum loves, and we, too, by the way. Very light and with plentiful and tasty fruits.

Classic Mini Cakes (Mignardises) are a treat for tea time.

The very fashionable American Cupcakes.

      Hello Susan. That is my mum's favourite cake and mine too. It's a healthy - very tasty - and light fruit cake.

    I have to say that Manor is probably the "go to" place if you want a good cake without breaking the bank.
