It just isn t Easter without a Pupa cu L ova (or three) on the table. There are as many recipes as there are Italian households, and ours, straight from Nona s recipe box is a bread basket sprinkled with coarse salt topped with colorful hard-boiled eggs.
We start with a pasta frolla short bread crust, fill it with a lush, creamy vanilla-tinged custard then finish it off with fresh mixed fruits. Perfect for birthdays, showers, and Sunday brunch.
The best of both worlds, our fluffy yellow cakes filled with sweet ricotta cheese and topped with fresh berries and whipped cream. Absolute perfection. Recommended for all high holidays.

Charming Kitchen was amazing!! We got two large trays of Cannoli, Cannoli Tarts, and some other assorted pastries for a big family event. Our guests kept commenting about how fancy they were and beyond delicious! They helped us to set up a nice display of the treats and even set up an area for our young kids to decorate their own cannoli. That made it even more special!You bet that we will be hiring them again for our next party!

Best bakery in the Bay Area. Hands down my favorite cannolis. You'll feel like you walked into your Nana's kitchen (especially if you're Italian and/or Sicilian). My grandparents migrated from Florence and Calabria, and no place reminds me more of being in Italy than Charming Kitchen. Great service and communication.

Our babies first birthday was made even more memorable by the stunning cake, cupcakes and cookies from The Charming Kitchen. All treats tasted as good as they looked. The cake was moist, with wonderful flavor, and not too sweet. The cupcakes and cookies were equally as delicious. Charming is easy to work with and makes sure everything turns out just right. Highly recommended for the next time you need treats at a special event!

I just ordered the champagne cake and cannoli for a teenage Covid birthday. The champagne cake was ridiculously good. Not too sweet and flavorful with a real kick. The cannoli shells were so light and crisp. They were amazing with the chocolate chips. We ordered a dozen cream horns and cannoli thinking that we would have enough and we literally all ate two of them...with the cake. Skip dinner and just eat Charming Kitchen desserts! Best Italian Bakery in the South Bay.

Excellent! Just like my Nana used to bake and excellent service. As for Joseph Z. There are always 2 sides to a story. I suspect he's the kind of person you couldn't please even if you bent over backwards.
