I met up with visiting family here. I wasn't feeling too great (scheduled for oral surgery soon) so I took a few bites of what everyone was having than having my own.
Grasshopper cake was moist and had good minty flavor but too sweet.
Crack pie pretty good, it reminds me and my brothers something from our childhood called "Food for the Gods". It's sweet and rich so I like to eat small pieces at a time. I do like the flavor so I would probably recommend this.
I think you're starting to see a theme, this is more American sweet level than French or Asian desserts. It's not for those who don't love a sugar rush!
I heard of the famous birthday cake so I took a slice to go and a crack pie to bring my MIL home.
My husband takes the cake piece out of the fridge later that night for our nightcap and says he took a bite and tells me it's STALE.
So I touch the outside of the cake and it's got that crust when the cake is dried out. I take a bite and it's just dry.
I happen to have cake from a French bakery I bought the same day in the morning thinking people might come to my house but instead I met up with them here. I think that maybe something is wrong with my fridge causing the drying but the cake, tarts, cream puffs all tasted very fresh and bread felt fine from the other bakery.
I feel like I don't know what to say.... $14 for a slice that I threw in the trash. It's not the cost, it's the principle. I don't even know if this is something I should call and complain about and get a new slice. I feel like I shouldn't get an old slice from a place like this. If you order to-go check your order I guess so it doesn't happen to you.
