| - Full disclosure, the owner is my neighbor. So not only would I like to see her store succeed but it also means that I had a chance to try a collection of her baked goods and desserts before the store opened. And after trying them, I couldn't wait until they opened the store so that I could get as many of them as often as I liked.
Their specialty at the Cake and Cookie Spot are cake shots. You can go to their website to see the pictures but essentially they put a multi-layered cake into an oversized plastic shot glass. This is a great idea because since the portions are smaller, you can try all of the different flavors! We went the other day and got 6 - birthday cake, double chocolate, Reese's peanut butter, cookies and cream, Boston creme and one other that I can't think of right now. We have only eaten 3 of the six so far, but each one was delicious. The cake is soft and moist and the icing is perfect. I'm not a huge icing fan either and usually skip it but I think their icings are one of the best features of their cakes.
They also sell cookies. We got 4 - the Ultimate Chocolate Chip, oatmeal raisin, snickerdoodle and one other that I don't remember because it disappeared from the bag before I had a chance to see or try it. The Ultimate Chocolate Chip lives up to its name and is worth the visit alone. And if you have a dog, don't forget to get a dog cookie for them too.
If you're in Squirrel Hill, stop in. You will be glad you did. I was.
