You know how when you see hundreds or thousands of people line up for the latest iphones on release day? and you laugh at them for being so caught up in the hype? That is what Uncle Tetsu is. Both uncle tetsu and the iphone are WAY OVER HYPED.
I believe that this cake appeals more to the asian palate , where desserts seem to be lighter and far more bland than american desserts. And for this reason this cake really doesn't appeal to me. For american's, uncle tetsu has a slight resemblance to Sara Lee pound cake... if it was expired. The uncle tetsu cake literally tastes like it's missing something. You will question if there is even any cheese in the cake.
Do you know what aerogel is(google it... it's really cool)? it's the lightest material in the world composed of 98.2% air. If you could eat aerogel it would taste like uncle tetsu. not because it's full of air(which it might be... it's not dense at all), but because it really tastes like air.
Please consider how much your time is WORTH. And whether your time standing on a sidewalk for 2-3 hours could be better spent. People go nuts when the TTC subway gets delayed a few minutes but will wait in line for hours for some cake. Haha! What a world we live in.
