Dessert, Anyone? There’s a Kiosk at Ponce City Market Specializing in Mille Crepe Cakes

Cake Culture, a bakery specializing in mille crepe cakes, begins popping up at Ponce City Market on January 26. The pop-up cake kiosk is located between the King of Pops and Honeysuckle Gelato stalls at the food hall and plans to run for the “foreseeable future,” a representative tells Eater.

Founded by patissier Sujith Ratnayake, who hails from Sri Lanka, the pop-up sells the delicate 20-layer confections by the slice or whole cake in flavors like matcha green tea, strawberry stuffed with fresh fruit between layers, and a classic crepe cake featuring notes of almond and cherry liqueur.

Ratnayake began his baking career after moving to Japan in 1997, where he first learned to make mille crepe cakes while working for Tokyo cafe Paper Moon. He then moved to Singapore to work for bakery Lady M, and later to South Korea, developing cake recipes for bakeries and brands there, before moving to the U.S. in 2016.

Open Wednesday - Saturday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Sunday, 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. Order online. [Official]
