    Had a cake tasting set up. Their "butter cream" left a disgusting residue on my tongue and mouth…read more The butter cream was way too sweet and you couldn't distinguish flavors. It all tasted the same. Too loose consistency. The "butter cream" tasted like it was made of Crisco. It was terrible. Chocolate frosting was terrible and their "fillings" weren't that. It was the same terrible "butter cream". The cake was way too dry. Couldn't even cut it without it falling apart into a massive pile of crumbs. It was hard to get down. The vanilla tasted like an overly eggy, super cheap box mix. Fake vanilla flavor. It was the worse tasting vanilla cake I have ever tasted. Even my dad hated it and he loves cake. It was so bad I wanted to teach them how to make a cake. Give them some tips and pointers. I mean. How hard is it to go on Pinterest and watch YouTube videos!?! Then maybe they will learn how to do a cake. The chocolate cake was a basic meh cake. The spiced cake was ok. But again the crumb was terrible. It was like eating sand. The only saving Grace was the pumpkin cake. It was underbaked, but it was at least edible and enjoyable.... Until we paired with the frosting. And then it was ruined. I was in tears at the thought of this bakery being our only option for our wedding. We already wasted $25 for a tasting. Luckily we pushed back the wedding now have proper time to look for a bakery who does cakes from scratch and not from boxer mix. I won't have to worry about anyone getting sick because of the Crisco and sugar paste. Or having someone inhale the crumbs and I have to do CPR at the wedding.

    While roaming around Pittsburg, we spotted the ice cream statuette in front of Sweet Designs Cakery…read moreand decided to stop in. I'm honestly not sure if it was gelato or ice cream in their small case but they only offered four flavors and my husband and I were both taken by the wonderful bakery smell and cute cupcakes in the case, so we went for those instead. They are quite a bit smaller in size than most bakery-style cupcakes but the price is also lower, so it evened out nicely. We enjoyed our strawberry and cherry limeade choices, and the presentation was VERY cute...but the cake itself was not too impressive. My cherry limeade cupcake didn't taste of lime at all to me and was extremely crumbly. The frosting, however, was fantastic by both of our standards and we sometimes disagree on frosting so it's bound to be pretty good. We also agreed that we would probably get one of their frosted cookies and a cup of coffee when we return in the future. They have a cute little area with vintage style seating and it's very comfortable in the shop.
