Sweet treats fans were delighted to hear Saturday night that local confectioners Cowboy-Up Chocolates purchased Halfmann’s Cake Cottage. The business had been for sale for quite some time, and it’s thought that the owners were waiting for the right buyer to take it over and continue the work.
You can read more about Cowboy-Up, at 6 E. Concho Ave. in San Angelo, who specialize in unique chocolates and treats; like Dubai-style chocolate, which has become a viral hit in recent months, and smoked bacon pecan brittle.
Halfmann’s traditional pie and cake recipes are well known all over town. It seems from the announcement that these will remain, with a focus on better quality and customer service. The fans are excited about it:
From the comments:
My husband’s great grandma was the original Halfmann who created the cake cottage – I’m glad someone who has a love for the community will be bringing it back to life and making sure that the customer experience is amazing!
This is such great news! Y’all are just what is needed to get Halfmann’s back to the level of quality that the original owner spent so many years making it!
Love this mashup! It’s going to be great.
