Stopped by to give this place a try for the 1st time. We got the cheesecakes sampler (4 slices for…read more$26) and 2-cupcakes. Despite some previous reviews about the dryness of the cupcakes and the bland cheesecake, we wanted to give it a go. Welp, those reviews were precise! My daughter could not finish her cupcake (that is the 1st time ever for her!!) she said it was very dry and crumbly, almost a dry biscuit like texture. And even with the 4 different types of cheesecake, it really lacked flavor. Someone reviewed it as eating straight butter, I would say it was more like eating just a block of cream cheese. I mean oreo, strawberry, should have some of those flavors in the actual cheesecake part right? At this point even some vanilla extract would've did some justice, but nope nada. While we were deciding which 4 slices we wanted, we asked if they would have pumpkin cheesecake coming in the near future (hints the Fall season). The lady helping us didn't answer the question but instead stated "well the gingerbread cheesecake would taste like it". Who has ever thought gingerbread and pumpkin would be the same??? Needless to say, we won't be back and (mental note) we should probably trust reviews with specific details more.

The second item that was the talk of the party was the awesome cake from Pounds Bakery. I am still receiving calls from the guest asking me where I purchased the cake. The presentation drew you in, it was absolutely beautiful. The best part of the cake was the taste. The topic of conversation for a while was centered around how good the cake tasted. Everyone agreed it was the best cake they had ever tasted. I did not have any cake left over. I must also mention the excellent and timely service. I am looking forward to another reason to order a cake from Pounds Bakery. The Best!!!!!

If I didn't know they were allergen free, I wouldn't have been able to tell. The texture and taste were wonderful! I highly recommend this adorable shop in the heart of downtown Fredericksburg!

I was from out of town, needed it quickly, so we worked with the baker, emailing pictures and talking on the phone. What could have been very stressful, was a wonderful experience.

They were just awesome and delicious. Everyone was impressed. I highly recommend Sweet Liadela, for any and all of your baking needs in and around Stafford, VA. She is professional, talented and affordable. It was a pleasure working with her.

Barely spoke English but I was able to understand her. She took my payment over the phone and I gave her my order. When I came to get the food it was still very warm so as I got to my car I wanted to try one but it was too greasy so I wanted until I got home because I didn't have napkins. I didn't think nothing of it because I had just got them. BUT as I got home & the grease was so much i guess as I was driving some spilled out onto my trunk carpet. Now I'll have to end up cleaning grease out of my trunk (luckily it's a plastic liner). I have never seen this much grease in Tamales. Usually I make them but I had surgery so I couldn't. I took each Tamale out & put them on paper towels. Paper towels were soaked with Lard. So I had to do it again. Again the paper towels got soaked. At the bottom of the container I was able to get over 1 cup of lard/grease. I left the Tamales on the towels to get the grease off. Over night I wanted some so bad I just ate 4. It was so greasy I got sick to my stomach (sharp pains all day & night) & couldn't go (poop) for days cuz the grease. I paid $78 for them & had to end up throwing them away cause it was too greasy. I have never seen so much Lard. The photos attached is just before I put them in the trash. And a day of having them on paper towels to get the grease off. Each one was saturated with lard. This ruined my Christmas cause I was sick to my stomach for days. & was not able to celebrate like we usually do with Tamales on Christmas.

He is an avid health nut and doesn't like to consume gluten. I only saw basic chocolate or vanilla gluten free cups cakes and noticed many patrons visiting the refrigerator for pre made treats. They had many more options in there vs what was on display. I was in a rush so from what I was able to view they had mint chocolate, key lime, and chocolate banana cream cupcakes. I decided on the chocolate banana cream. I want to first point out that my boyfriend LOVED the pack of 3 I purchased him. He thought they were delicious. However I'm a little dissatisfied that they were labeled as chocolate banana cream... when the only banana element was the one piece of banana they placed on top for decoration. There wasn't any other element of banana in the cupcake nor any element of a cream. I may be back because even though the banana was completely missing, he enjoyed the rich dark chocolate flavor of the entire cupcake.
