If you need a cake or a dessert for a special occasion, you need to continue reading this review.
I found this specialty bakery in Bel Air because I wanted to get my son his favorite cake for his birthday. The Woodlea and Newberry bakeries were not going to be open on Monday, which is the day that I needed the cake, so I started looking at other bakeries in the area because I really didn't want to go to a grocery store to buy the cake.
I've gotten cakes from grocery stores before and they have been very good but I wanted this to be a special carrot cake.
I had the good fortune to find the Kempton Cottage Bakery during my search. I read all of the reviews carefully, and they were all very complementary.
The owner of the bakery answered the phone and she was so pleasant and charming, and actually took time out of her busy day to chat with me for a while. That is almost unheard of when you're placing a Bakery order but it is one of the reasons that I continued talking to her. I was completely intrigued.
She cared about the type of cake that I wanted and took her time to find out what the occasion was and to really dig into the things I was looking for before I placed the order.
The cake was ready when I came to get it and she was actually quite nice, because I had asked her to change the time for pick up and she did so without any problem whatsoever.
The cake was packaged in a simple, yet attractive, box with her Company logo and when I took it from her I was amazed at the weight of it. When I took it to the gathering, and we opened it, it was decorated so beautifully.
Because my son is 32 years old, I really didn't want to write a lot of frivolous Happy Birthday things or messages on it , so she made a simple heart out of pecans. The bottom she had fluted in a decorative way and the simplicity of it was absolutely beautiful.
When we cut the cake the inside was even more spectacular. You could actually see real pieces of carrot in it. I have gotten many carrot cakes over the years, but I have never been able to see carrot in any of them. These were actual slivers that were easily noticed.
The cream cheese icing was obviously made with real cream cheese and it was delicious . She asked if I wanted raisins and nuts , I said yes and they were included, although
she was quite ready to make the cake any way that I asked her to , with or without the raisins or the nuts.
The cake was moist and absolutely perfect in every way. Every single person at the party was amazed at the quality of this cake. My son's mother-in-law said that it was "the best carrot cake I have ever put in my mouth " and she was absolutely correct. I have never had one so good.
This is the first time that I have used this Bakery, but it definitely will not be the last and I want to say that if you want a dessert of a lifetime, you should consider having it made at this Cottage Bakery. You will not be sorry. read more
