| - I'm not sure if we just caught them on an off day or if we just have too high of standards when it comes to our sweets but this was not impressive at all. I will say; however,that the lady we had wait on us was extremely friendly and helpful and I loved her personality, it's such a shame that their food was a disappointment. I really hate to say it but I've had better stuff from Food Lion! We got an array of things and spent about $20 in total.
We got two pineapple upside down mini cakes, two smores bars (which were decent), an oreo cupcake, a carrot cake cupcake, a jack-o-lantern cookie which I think was a shortbread cookie, an acorn cookie which is a gingerbread cookie, a snickerdoodle cookie and two of the peanut butter cookies that have the chocolate kisses in the middle and we sampled a small cream horn.
I hate to say it but everything tasted extremely artificial. The cupcakes were VERY dry, as were the jack-o-lantern and acorn cookies. The snickerdoodle tasted alright, tasted like something you'd buy pre-made at a grocery store. The jack-o-lantern cookie had absolutely no flavor, even with the frosting on top that sort of just crumbled off and I didn't even taste it it was just so dry and flavorless. They look pretty though.
The pineapple upside down cakes definitely tasted artificial and the amount of sugar in those things was very overpowering. The pineapple you can just tell was from a can and not fresh. I don't think they used pineapple juice in them either and if they did it must have also been from the can, or had used some sort of extract. The lady said that they were fresh too, made that day.
Both the cupcakes were very dry, we couldn't even taste the chocolate flavor in the oreo one due to it's lack of moisture and the cookie bits on top were basically mush. The frosting on both of the cupcakes was hardened over a bit and tasted a few days old. Had the carrot cake cupcake not have been so dry, and would have had fresh frosting on top, would have tasted pretty good I mean the flavor of the cake was still there it was just dull. The peanut butter cookies were sadly the best things we had gotten, but they also tasted either a day or two old or maybe just a tiny bit over baked.
Neither of us liked the cream horn we sampled, the filling was just way too cream cheese tasting for our liking it didn't taste like a sort of frosting or filling but tasted rather like they had just scooped out some cream cheese, whipped it for a second and shoved it in. The pastry breading around it was tasteless and a bit hard.
All in all I really feel like it was a waste of $20 and we still have two items left over that we just cannot bring ourselves to eat. For stuff at a bakery to taste so extremely artificial it just makes me wonder how their so popular around the Kannapolis area. If their food was as great as their staff they could rally in some good business, but I don't see myself ever returning. And like I said maybe we just caught them on a bad day, but for everything we had gotten to taste so wrong I just can't see it being any better any other time.
