Representing Downtown Bordentown Association

Neelma Patel grew up learning to cook and bake from her family. Without any formal training, all who tasted what she baked urged her to start her own business.

So she did! The Cake Box by Neelma opened in downtown Bordentown City on Nov. 15 and was an instant success.

Cake Box specializes in custom cakes and cupcakes, cake pops and cookie bars. They also sell coffee and tea, and soups.

But Neelma’s signature baked goods are the wide variety of cupcakes she offers, and the choices change daily. She has baked 152 different varieties over the years.

How do caramel apple pie, Reese’s pieces, peanut butter and jelly or jalapeno margarita sound?

Stop in and see what all the excitement is about!

Why Buy Local?

If each household in Burlington County spent just $10 more each month at Burlco businesses, the resulting annual impact to the local economy would be about $19.9 MILLION DOLLARS!

For every $100 spent locally in independently owned stores, shops and restaurants, $44 to $83 is re-circulated in the local economy. When $100 is spent in national chains, only $14 to $43 stays in the local economy.

How we all benefit by shopping Burlington County:

Keep Burlington County's economy strong and growing.
