This charming chocolate shop is known for their signature truffle cakes. Ruby's truffle cakes are made similar to a cake-pop but with ganache. Each truffle is made with moist cake, ganache, then covered in Ruby's signature milk, dark, or white chocolate, and finally topped with a salty or sweet finish. With over 20 different flavors and designs, it's nearly impossible to not find more than one favorite. Try cookies and cream, birthday cake, triple chocolate, maple bacon...or my personal favorite, the black raspberry cheesecake! Check out their website to make custom orders for events, weddings, birthdays, Valentine's Day and more.
