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!
