I wanted cake, so prior to my trip to Sprinkles I decided I would drive out to A Bakeshop to try them out too. I got there and the lady working was not very inviting at all. That rubbed me that wrong way, but I'd driven all the way out there from Tempe, so I just went ahead and bought some things.
I decided to get a regular sized lemon raspberry cupcake, peanut butter sandwich cookie, and the white chocolate macadamia nut cookie. The white chocolate macadamia cookie was...meh. It's not my favourite flavour cookie usually and this one didn't change that. It was oily and blah. The cupcake was a total disappointment. It was expensive and very small for a regular sized cupcake. There was also as much frosting as there was cake. The frosting tasted good and there was only a tiny bit of raspberry goo on the lightly lemony frosting. However, the cake itself was horrible. It tasted like it was lime flavoured, and it was acid and bitter. Just freaking horrible cake. It was kind of wet too. It just was not good cake.
The peanut butter sandwich cookie was amazing! It wasn't too sweet and it was just DELICIOUS!
Unfortunately, the employee just seemed really annoyed that I'd even walked into the shop and with the high prices for what you get, it's really not worth going out there for the peanut butter cookie again. There are better bakeries out here that appreciate my patronage, so I'll go to those.
