Clara doesn’t actually make the stuff…

but she is the inspiration behind Clara’s

 

Clara (Clarissa) was Samirah’s grandmother, a wonderful chef and a gem of a human.

She was a fancy lady with a touch of absurdity. She had a really quirky sense of humor, but there was a time and place for everything.

For her, love was in the food. Food wasn’t just for the body, it was for the soul. She loved bringing people together over food, and having everything be beautiful. She was fancy, fun, and the ultimate hostess.

Clara is the inspiration behind Clara’s Groovy Deliciousness, and she’s woven into everything we do—from flavor and composition, to a beautiful presentation.

 

Hey y’all.. Samirah here. I am almost always laughing. I have an obsession with table etiquette (and good manners in general) and am moderately (actually not moderate at all) over the top with an affinity for sparkly things.

The moment I fell in love with sugar:

My grandmother didn’t use an electric mixer, she used a hand beater (like the one in our logo)

She was making world famous lemon meringue pie (technically it wasn’t world famous, but it should have been!) – and watching her turn egg whites from a bowl of goo into a fluffy cloud of awesome was pure magic.. Meringue wasn’t just meringue. I watched the gooey egg whites turn into magic, and I wanted to see what she made next. I wanted to be a part of it. Whenever she was in the kitchen, I was beside her, watching everything that she did. I was mesmerized.

A not so closeted nerd who went from engineer to baker and could not be happier.

One of my fondest memories is of my grandmother singing this every time i came to the house, complete with a little dance. the minute she started singing i knew there was something yummy in the very near future.

THE PROCESS

Timing- Six to nine months before your wedding is ideal to start the process of working together. We've also worked with far more and less lead time, always feel free to inquire.

Flavors - This is where the fun begins! Before your tasting, we'll send our "Gettin’ to know ya” questionnaire. We then build your tasting menu from the answers you provide.

Tastings - We offer tastings by appointment only. You'll have an opportunity to sample the cake flavors we have prepared and decide on your favorites. Then we'll discuss more about what you're planning, look through pictures, and find inspiration for the cake design. Feel free to bring along images, style boards, and anything else that may inspire a beautiful centerpiece for your wedding.  It’s not just a tasting, it’s an experience!

Pricing - Our cakes are priced based on the number of servings and how intricate the design will be; our pricing typically start at $10 per serving. Some minimum orders apply during our busier months. Pricing for dessert tables will vary on items and quantities ordered.

Delivery - We deliver within the tri-state area.  For venues outside the Philadelphia and immediate suburbs, the delivery fee is based on mileage from Philadelphia.

Cake stand and dessert display rentals- We believe presentation is everything! Let us help you design the perfect set up for your cake or dessert bar!

Tastings - We offer cake tastings for events with 75 servings or larger.

Design Process - First, we love to hear more about what you're planning: the type of event, whether you have a theme or color palette you're using, and any ideas or inspiration you have for the cake's design. We'll confirm the vision for your cake, and then work our magic to bring your vision to life. 

Pricing - Cakes are priced based on the number of servings and the intricacy of your design. Generally speaking, our pricing starts at $8 per serving. Pricing for dessert tables will vary on items and quantities ordered. Some minimum orders apply during our busier months.

the bee’s niece

Created for Samirah’s great-niece who asked for “vanilla popcorn” . We decided to add honey and call it “the bee’s knees” but decided a little word play would be more fun. With Samirah’s middle name being Rebiah, (her Mom calls her Bee) and her niece being the one who requested the flavor…. we decided to call it The Bee’s Niece!

COVID-19 POLiCIES

We want you, our friends and customers, to be aware of the care we're taking to continue serving our community. Our team receives on-going training in food safety, cleaning procedures, and best practices of the hospitality industry. We also ensure our team is fully versed in the most current hygiene regimens recommended by the CDC

What’s going to happen if I book my cake with you, and I need to cancel my wedding/party due to no one coming due to COVID-19?

If you are currently booked with us and wish to reschedule/downsize/cancel your order with us, you will be offered full credit for any money paid to us in the form of store credit. This credit can be used on any products/services we offer in the future. You may use the credit for multiple purchases at their current market value.

We have been doing our best to work with our customers on a case-by-case basis as this situation continues to evolve rapidly. But please keep in mind we are a small business…

Should you wait to book us to “see what happens” with COVID-19?

We recommend not waiting. If you have to reschedule, then reschedule when that time comes. Don’t miss out on getting us for your event. We are very close to being sold out for 2020 and 2021 is filling up fast!

Consultations?

While we are not booking in person tastings/consultations we will be doing these via zoom and scheduling pick ups of our “Tasting to go” boxes

However, if you are still hesitant about going out in public we can always do the consultation over the phone or through e-mail, just give us a call and let us know!!!
