Baklava, Sekerpare and Housemade Desserts at Mumu's

Mumu's Cafe makes Turkish desserts and housemade sweets in Troy, NY, including pistachio baklava, shekerpare, tiramisu, carrot cake and a Burnt Basque cheesecake. Here's what you can order and what's in each.

Turkish classics

The Pistachio Baklava is Turkish pistachio baklava, four pieces to an order. The Shekerpare is a soft almond-based pastry ball dipped in thick lemon-flavored sugar syrup and topped with ground pistachios. Both go well with Turkish coffee or hot tea. For more background, see our guide to simit, borek and sekerpare.

Cakes and cheesecake

The Tiramisu (Housemade) has layers of espresso-soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone cream, topped with cocoa powder. The Carrot Cake - House Made has two layers of light, fluffy cake. We also have a Burnt Basque Cheese Cake, a Budapest Cake, a Pumpkin cake (Homemade) and an Apple Pie with tender spiced apples in a flaky crust.

Brownies and bites

The 4 Chocolate Brownie Bites (Homamade) are rich and fudgy, portioned into four pieces. The Strawberry Brownie Bites are topped with whipped cream and fresh strawberry. One reviewer on Google mentioned that the staff sent them off with a complimentary brownie.

Pudding cups

If you'd like something lighter, we make pudding cups with housemade vanilla pudding: the Blueberry Vanilla Puding Cup, the Hazelnut Vanilla Cup, Mumus Banana Puding and Mumu's Strawberry Puding Cup.

What pairs well

A few pairings we like: baklava with Turkish coffee, tiramisu with hot coffee, carrot cake with hot tea, and a pudding cup after a savory plate. If you're ordering a few desserts to share, the muffin box (3 Muffins Box: blueberry, banana nut and double chocolate) is a good fit for a group.
