Now the show will end the same way, not only a display of a beautiful cake but also DELICIOUS...right? Like that one place that starts with a F - and ends with - 'S, I eat the crumbs its so good, but this is not a review about that bakery, this is about Carlo's Bakery. I'm not saying that it was bad, but it wasn't good...to me, and yes I had THAT LOOK on my face because I was sadly disappointed.
We order a canoli and some kind of coconut cookie. Let's start off with the COOKIE, toasted coconut shortbread cookie; toasted coconut and shortbread, you can't go wrong. Wrong, actually you can go very wrong with this. A very pretty looking cookie, golden brown, with a nice dollop of chocolate smack dab in the middle of the cookie. Just me personal opinion, maybe if it was a chocolate ganache it would've helped with the dryness of the cookie. Yes, shortbread is a dry cookie but you definitely get the butter taste on the palate when you eat it. This is a tea/coffee type of cookie, to me it was just bad all over. Super dry, we try to break the cooking in half to split, cookie so hard that when we finally broke the cookie in half, from the force of trying to break the cookie I dropped 1 half on the nasty strip sidewalk. No 5second rule here, that will just have to sit there. Flavor, well I could taste the toasted coconut and the chocolate was just there, that's all I have for that.
Traditional Canoli: Once again, I promise I don't know what was up with yesterday's batch, but the 2 items that were purchased were hella overbaked and super hard. Canoli should be a light crisp, hard enough to maintain structure to absorb the filling and not soften the shell but not where your back molars might be cracked after taking a bite. We looked like a hot mess trying to share this canoli on the strip, we pretty much just blended in with the other tourists. Now, the CREAM FILLING now that was DELISH! A nice velvet cream, with a hint of cinnamon, so light - oh I would go back for the cream filling and cream filling only, give me a spoon and a bowl. As for me going back, meh....maybe, since the bakery is mainly known for their cakes then maybe I should a slice of cake instead of the other delectable delicatessens in this shop. The RED VELVET cake did look good, but....
....let me think about this one, hmm - Red Velvet Cake, huh?
