If you are tired of overly sweet cakes, you should give Euro-Japanese style desserts a try. Cakes and pastries made by Japanese bakers are usually light and have a subtle sweetness. It is a persuading argument that you do not need tons of butter and sugar to make desserts taste good. Fuji Bakery located on 1520 145th in Bellevue offers Euro-Japanese style cake and bread fresh from their kitchen. The eggs they use are cage-free and most ingredients are all-natural and organic.
