Their hot food items are just ok, but when i come here it is for the cake. My department has a monthly budget of $40 per birthday cake and Francesca's just makes the cut. I highly recommend the Italian sponge cake with fresh fruit which requires a preorder of 3 days' notice.
The fresh fruit is more expensive than a regular filling (such as strawberry and vanilla custard) but it has kiwis, peaches, blueberries, blackberries and strawberries. I like to try and persuade myself that the cake is healthy for this reason. Feel free to adopt my strategy.
They have mousse cakes in the freezer which are cheaper than the Italian sponge with mixed fruit and all of the ones i have tried have been great! My favorite one is the Pistachio mousse cake which is Sicilia and there is this white chocolate and raspberry one that comes in at a very close second. Their chocolate mousse cakes are a bit too sweet for me so before you buy a full size cake, buy the minis to try them out first.
