For close to 40 years, we have been making our award-winning desserts at our home of deliciousness in Ringoes, New Jersey. This sweet journey began when Gene Maddalena, the patriarch of our family-owned business, created the original cheesecake recipe that we still use to this day. We make each cheesecake with the finest ingredients, which includes 100% Real Dairy and pure Bourbon vanilla extract from Madagascar.

Presently, we make over 12 different cheesecake flavors, which include gluten-free and keto options. In recent years, we have created other desserts like our apple crumb pie, chookie, and cheesecake-on-a-stick. You will find our delicious desserts at our storefront market, as well as at festivals, fairs, and private events.
