| - My boss had told me that Cathy's Rum Cake was his absolute favorite cake in the entire world so, naturally, when his birthday came around I began to search for Cathy's. Yelp led me to Lisa, her daughter and I hoped against hope that the "classic Cathy's rum cake" they offer was, in fact the real deal.
The cake itself was reasonable and impeccably decorated. Wonderful presentation. The delivery fee was a bit outrageous, but for convenience sake, I can't complain. I didn't have the time to go and pick it up from Gilbert.
As for the cake? According to my boss, the flavor is exactly spot on. It tasted exactly as he remembered. Where this cake was more spongy like angel food, the original was a bit more dense and grainy. Where this cake's frosting had a thicker, almost meringue consistency, Cathy's used to be much more airy and closer to whipped cream.
Barring these small differences, it was a dead ringer for the original and I will definitely be calling upon them again for our office cake needs.
So glad for yelp and I am so glad I found Lisa's Rum Cake!
