in Flatbush/Midwood/Ditmas Park
Spotted in an under-construction store front on Rogers between Church and Martense: a chalkboard for "Cake Ambiance". 
The storefront was a bodega until Jan 1. 
Let us eat cake?

    Don't know if it's the same owner but there used to be a Cake Ambience on Dean(?) near Flatbush Ave and Barclays. Maybe it's still there and this is a second location?

    http://www.thecakeambiance.com/ - looks like they're open. Has anyone been by for a slice?

    Just went today. Amazing cake! The owner is super cool as well. He is currently renovating, but you can get slices for $5-$7

    Stopped by last night. Cakes are large and super sweet. Like *really* sweet. 
    He's open late and is generous with sampling. 
    Also, it's the same guy who once had the shop near Barclays

    The area in my opinion is lacking for good pastries and since this place is about 2 blocks from my house I wanted to give it a try.  The place is NOT glamorous as renovation is still going on and the poor owner was jugglling trying to sell cake slices for $$ as well as getting his place ready, so keep that in mind, however his cakes did not disappoint.

    I sampled a pistachio cake which was extraordinary, but wound up buying a red velvet and a carrot cake. I have never had such an incredibly moist and flavorful carrot cake and the frosting was great, creamy and just right, not too sweet. IMO I'll gladly pay the $7 a slice. I will be going back at least once a week!
