Killer Desserts & Cafe

It all began early in the spring of 2001 when a close friend and local restauranteur joined my husband and I for dinner at our home here in Port Stanley. For dessert I served my decadent Kahlua® Cake. One taste and Jimmy C. was quick to exclaim, "Donelda, this is to die for! A real killer dessert!" In no time at all Jimmy was featuring my cakes, cheesecakes and other specialty desserts on his restaurant's menu. As their popularity snowballed, it became more evident that the only way I could keep up with the demand was to open a shop. What would I call this "in demand shop"? Why " KILLER DESSERTS ", of course. Never one to settle for less than the best, my cheesecakes, cakes and cookies are made from scratch and are of impeccable quality and taste. I use low fat cream cheese in all of our cheesecakes and I assure you that using low fat ingredients does not affect the taste of the final product. Also, close to half of the eighty plus flavours of cheesecake on our menu can be prepared without sugar making them suitable for dietetic diets. Some of my desserts can be prepared without eggs, dairy or gluten to accommodate those with specific allergies or diets. Over the years, I have greatly expanded the variety of the gourmet products I carry. This is where the "and much, much more..." comes in. Most of our great products have been personally sampled by my staff and me, so that we can better assist you in making your selections. We also invite you to sample our products when visiting our store. Nothing pleases me more than working with brides-to-be to create a spectacular wedding cake for their most memorable of days. In fact, we love to create special moments for any occasion such as birthdays, anniversaries, showers, and more... each one deserves that special cake. When we moved to our current location in June 2006 we greatly expanded our menu to include some breakfast and lunch items. Now we offer deli style sandwiches and salads. We prepare our own Chicken, Tuna, Salmon and Egg Salads in small batches so they are always fresh. We also prepare all of our soups from scratch.

We not only use local meats, from Pete Charlton's Quality Meats, and local produce but the Gourmet Food Products that we use and sell are, as much as possible, from local suppliers. Fresh and Local - does it get any better than that? We invite you to join the throng of visitors who have already discovered that eating healthier can taste great. At KILLER DESSERTS & CAFÉ it always does. We also provide "take out" for those wishing to do so. Just call ahead so that we can have your order ready when you arrive. I would like to thank you for dropping in to see us. I hope that you have enjoyed the experience and will visit us again soon. Sincerely, Donelda Pocock
