3.5 stars. I think the biggest benefit to The Butterwood Bake Consortium is that it's open late. Most bakeries close early and so if you're like me and get a late night sweet tooth- Butterwood is here for you. The other good things- really intricate decorations- wallpaper on the wall, lots of rich golds and maroons, and comfy seating. Almost like an old classy mansion.
My husband and I ordered a piece of chocolate cake w/blackberry mascarpone buttercream. It was very dense- definitely enough to split, and overall I wouldn't say it's the best cake I've ever had, it was okay. Also- the price was high, about $7 total. We did have to wait a bit because there was only one person working and a few people in line in front of us (about 9pm on a Friday). The girl working was very apologetic and nice. Overall, I'd recommend going to experience the ambiance and try something new.
