Unexpectedly disappointed/dissatisfiedLindsey
I would rate the cake itself a 0/10.
I would rate the interactive experience a 7/10.
With the reviews that I read through before I chose LB’s, I did not realize/consider there were no actual detailed reviews of the food flavor, textures, experience. All reviews were adjectives of “amazing, wonderful, delicious”. So I think that may have attributed to my misassumption of expectation.
I ordered a cookies&cream 10in cake. Ordering was easy, straightforward, quick. I ordered with only 5 days notice, so having the order approved in a short amount of time was awesome. I asked for the message “Happy 32nd Birthday!!” Which was approved. I assumed it would be written on top of the cake. It was not. On the top of the cake was “32” and in the cake pan was “Happy Birthday” both in fondant.
Cake: I expected the cake itself to be airy, fluffy, light. It was not. It was very dense, heavy, slightly slightly dry. The flavor was lacking
Icing: I LOVE BUTTERCREAM. From pictures on the Facebook page- I expected the icing to be light and airy. I was expecting a soft fluffy buttercream which I assume now is only when the cake is iced the same day. It was dense and heavy. It was the texture when you put a cake in the fridge or freezer. The texture/after feeling in our mouths was slippery, almost the consistency of lard slickness
My family and I get down on sweets like it’s our job. Any baked good, ice cream, sweet treat is always welcomed in our homes and hearts. And it says quite a bit that only 1/4 of the cake was eaten the day we got it and none of it has been touched since (yes-I put the rest in a container and sealed it).
I try to support a small local business when I can and I’m not writing the review out of anger. I had 2nd thoughts of even submitting this because I don’t want to contribute to a small business not succeeding. At the end of the day, I’m just wanting to give a thorough review with actual descriptions of the food flavor/texture not just “this tasted so amazing” like all of the other reviews
