| - We visited the bakery today. We went because my daughter is a fan of the show and wanted to see the bakery. We arrived at 4:00 p.m. and were told it was about an hour wait. We stood in line only because I didn't want to disappoint my daughter. It took us 45 mins to get into the bakery. I have to say, I was underwhelmed. I was expecting more of a variety. Don't get me wrong, they have cupcakes, cookies, biscotti, eclairs, a few different pastries and cannolis. No pies and a few cakes. Not to mention way OVERPRICED!! They write your order down then have you wait another 10 mins, in a very small waiting area, while they package your goodies. Very inconvenient. We purchased 4 small cannolis, 2 strawberry cheesecakes (@ 10.95 each and they are a bit larger than the cupcakes), 1 sugar dipped cookie (they sell the cookies by the pound, 22.50/lb), 1 lobster tail, 1 cupcake and 1 chocolate mousse cake ( same size as the cheesecake). The grand total? $58.37!!! I get that this is located on the strip and it's all about the almighty dollar, but I will not return. The quality of the goodies is mediocre at best, with the exception of the lobster claw. The cream filling was very good. All this really is, is the Venetian using Buddy's name but the quality is severely lacking. If this is what represents what you would get at one of the bakeries in New Jersey, I don't get the hype. It was a huge disappointment.
