| - I originally stumbled upon this business on Google and purchased a cake for my dog's birthday from them. There were good and bad things about said cake. First, the good.
GOOD:
-Very well frosted and you could tell a lot of care was taken in putting the happy birthday letters on the top of the cake.
BAD:
-I was told Carob would make a good substitute for a chocolate cake for a dog. As any good dog owner would know, you can't feed real chocolate to your pooch. So I purchased the carob cake, as I knew when my dog had chocolate in extremely small amounts, he had adored it. My dog would not touch this cake and neither would my other dog. Curious and being told by the owner this cake was safe for human consumption, I tasted a small piece. I can only compare the texture and flavor to cardboard. It tastes nothing like chocolate. So I'm not really surprised my dogs didn't like it ether.
-This cake was hard as a rock and crumbled like it was almost stale. I will state here I do not know if this is typical for carob cakes or the fact that the majority of carob cakes do in fact taste like cardboard. However, if I didn't know better, I would severely doubt whether this cake was freshly baked at all. It may have been left on a shelf for a week for all I know. Yes, it was that dense and hard.
If I knew any of this, I would not have bought the cake. I do not think the owner should say this is a great substitute for chocolate, unless you like your chocolate stale and tasteless. She was very insistent on it too. I understand people need to sell their product to make money, but she could have just as easily have told me that if I was expecting chocolate, maybe I should have picked another cake flavor.
Whatever her reasoning, I won't be buying another cake from her in the future. I also would not recommend her to anyone else. While the cake she gave me was gorgeous, my dogs found it completely not to their liking. It's too bad, because that pretty cake ultimately ended up in our garbage bin.
