| - This is a 3.5 star review. We had the living social deal, which entitled us to a dozen cake pops for only $12. This is a very good bargain. If you are on the fence about trying this place, get the living social deal. Bakeries seem to be popping up everywhere right now. But, Dip Sticks lacks the boring and brings the interesting. Very friendly staff and legitimate bakery smells as well. Of course there are traditional flavors: red velvet, vanilla, etc. I had a Guinness pop, which was more chocolatey than it tasted of the famous beer. The bacon maple pops were a hit at dinner, as I expected they would be. The PB&J likewise was good.
I bought more than the dozen we were entitled to with the deal. But, I made a mistake. The vanilla had a label on them, indicating they were vanilla. So, I saw this, and mistakenly assumed ALL were labeled. Therefore, I quit paying attention to the flavors and just started ordering. When I got home, the only ones I knew for SURE were vanilla, Guinness, PB&J and bacon maple. The other ones were guesses basically. Had their been labels on all the wrappers, I would give this place 4 stars. I realize it was my mistake to assume that after seeing the vanilla. But, I feel like it's a touch that would help out a lot and boost the appeal. When you come home with 17 pops (as I did), it's very hard to remember which is which. So, hopefully that changes in the future. I guess next time I could take pictures to remind myself. Again, maybe I'm being unreasonable since I recognize it was my fault.
We liked every pop we tried, but didn't love them all. The icing formed a perfect crust, which (I assume) helps keep the cakes inside moist, which they most definitely were. I did not get a stuffed cookie, which looked really good. Nor did I try the Dr. Pepper cake, which also looked fantastic and was only $3 a slice as I recall. Looked very moist. These will be definite purchases next time. Dip Sticks flavors are unique without being too cute. Give them a shot.
