On the positive side, the flavors themselves were solid overall. The icing was tasty, and while the cake was decent, it leaned a bit dry, which was already giving us pause given this was meant to showcase their best work. What really ended the conversation for us was a major quality issue. Two of the icing sample balls each had a very long hair in them. It was immediately noticeable and extremely off-putting. At that point, we lost confidence and couldn't bring ourselves to continue sampling, let alone consider trusting them with something as important as a wedding cake. Between the dryness of the cake and the hair issue, we ultimately decided to go in a different direction. Not terrible flavor-wise, but the experience as a whole was disappointing and fell short for such a high-stakes purchase.

There's not enough room to express how much I highly recommend Yunique Cake Design!…read more I'll try to provide a quick summary so, here we go.. My wife and I were headed to Raleigh to surprise our daughter for her birthday. In the past I would get a cake made where we live and just drive down with it however this time, I wanted to do something different. I did my research beginning with Yelp then cross referencing Instagram. After hours and of researching many options, I decided to reach out to Yunique's via text. Mind you, Candace (the owner) and my communications were via text only. I explained my situation, inquired if she would be interested in assisting with my plan and ultimately decided to go with her. We spent a lot of time texting, going over colors, flavors, concept ideas etc.. We were able to agree upon a concept design and that's when Candace went to work, making my ideas a reality. Long story short, everything came together nicely. We made arrangements and agreed upon time and place for pickup. I was anxious to both seeing the final product but more excited to meet the lady which made all this possible. Our daughter loved her cake surprise, both the design, the flavor profile as well as the moistness of the cake. Can't thank Candace enough, for helping with our plans and for making our daughter's birthday happen!

(Which is perfectly fine) I purchased two cupcakes: a peanut butter cup and lime one. This is where my issues begin. I was disappointed to find the peanut butter cup was just chocolate with peanut butter frosting. I was hoping for a PBC inside the cupcake. That said the chocolate cupcake alone was the best thing I tasted. I was not impressed with the frosting at all. I felt like there was a really off aftertaste to it. I love key lime and really had high hopes for this cupcake. It did have a filling but I couldn't discern if it was frosting or not and like the chocolate one the frosting had an aftertaste, especially the little white bit of lime zested icing on top. We could not eat that particular cupcake and did not enjoy the frosting on either one so basically just enjoyed the chocolate cupcake. Not my cup of tea- not saying others wouldn't like it, so definitely give it a try. Might be right up your alley. One last thing- the size of cupcakes are quite big and price per cupcake is quite reasonable. I'd go back if they changed their frosting and added more flavor to the key lime.

Bottom line: Whisk & Batter Bakery and Dessert Bar have delicious treats for your sweet tooth…read more Having experienced their cupcakes, pound cake, as well as their version of an oatmeal cream pie, I have enjoyed their baked goods so far. Generous servings and great texture as well as tasty, I'm glad I gave their desserts a try. The Deets: I've had the opportunity to try out some of the sweet treats from Whisk & Batter Bakery and Dessert Bar a couple of times now. Mainly I've had some of their desserts to enjoy at home so I cannot comment on their shop itself in this review. I'll start with the cupcakes, having tried both the Red Velvet and the Key Lime offerings they have. My favorite type of cake is Red Velvet and their cupcake version did not disappoint with delicious taste and great texture. I also enjoyed the Key Lime as well but I do wish (and this wish is splitting hairs most likely) that more of that distinct tart lime taste that Key Lime is known for came through with it. However the cupcakes themselves on the whole are not dry at all, again great texture with minimal crumble as well as being generous sized cupcakes. I also got their Pound Cake to enjoy with coffee. The pound cake slice is a very large slice, I made more than one serving out of it myself. Their pound cake is pretty good (I do hold my mother's homemade pound cake as the "gold standard" just FYI and it's pretty hard to beat, in my opinion). However I do prefer my pound cake without a frosting/glaze on it which this one does have and I think I'd personally like it better without it. I have to mention their version of the Oatmeal Cream Pie...wonderful! Their individually wrapped versions of this classic are delicious and probably my most favorite item so far from here. Their Oatmeal Cream Pie definitely surpasses any store bought version, for me. In summary, all the sweet treats I've had from Whisk & Batter Bakery and Dessert Bar have been enjoyable, I'd honestly say more towards 4.5 stars here. I am a fan!

Before you know it, you're thinking about what to eat or take home, and you were just there for coffee. Yikes! First off, all the pastries are made right at Asali. From what I understand, nothing is made outside the café. My favorite breakfast is their egg and cheese croissant. It's always just the right temperature. So good, you might even use your fingers to pick up and eat all the flakes that fall off. The staff is super friendly and even answers any questions you have about how they make their drinks. Speaking of drinks, you can pretty much get anything you want. Regular coffee, pour-over, all sorts of lattes--hot or cold. This is one of the reasons why I return time after time. The staff's ability to be creative and add some wow factor to your drink. Asali might just be the best cafe in the entire Raleigh area.

They have so many pastries to choose from, ranging from macarons to cakes. They also have a small brunch menu. The service was fine and the items came out quickly. I got the Hazelnut Cheesecake Mousse and Breakfast Croissant. The Hazelnut Cheesecake Mousse had a stick blue fondant above it, which I think was mostly used for decor. I did not like it a lot so we took it off and it made the cake taste a lot better. There were not super strong hints of the cheesecake flavor, but it tasted fine. I wish the Breakfast Croissant had a type of meat in it, but it was still good. The croissant was very buttery and large. I would probably rate this spot a 3.5/5 stars if I could. The food I got did not impress me too much, but I would love to give them another shot and try their other pastries.
