So disappointed. I've been going to Sweet Tooth for my birthday cake since I was in elementary school. I've been a customer for over 2 decades. They used to be the best bakery, not just in this area, the best overall. It has steadily been going downhill for years. Nowadays, they are just awful.
I can't compare Sweet Tooth now to what it used to be. People went nuts for my birthday cakes as a kid, they were delicious and looked incredible.
Their designs now are basic at best, comparable to the average grocery store, but less creative and well done than Dairy Queen. They also have crazy limited copyright stuff so if you want a character or something specific, you're not likely to find it.
The most disappointing part, the taste. It went from the best, to the worst. It's the last place in town I would go for a cake. The actual cake part is dry and tasteless. The frosting is overly sweet and grainy. I can feel the grains of sugar in my mouth and hear the grains when I chew. It's like that with chain grocery store cakes, but Sweet Tooth used have the best frosting. I can't imagine they still make the frosting themselves, they have to buy it from the same place grocery stores use. If they do still make it themselves, they picked up the worst recipe possible.
If I went to a party with a Sweet Tooth cake, I would politely pass. I used to recommend Sweet Tooth to everyone, now I wouldn't eat it if it was free and delivered right to me. The best thing they used to make was these frosted cookies usually shaped with some theme. They always had them. The last 6 times I've been there over a number of years now, they say they're out. I wonder if they still make them, and why they wouldn't just say they don't make them anymore. I've tried some of their other items like other cookies and they are not good. They are dry and have little taste and are not even as good as cheap boxed cookies shipped from some warehouse on the other side of the country.
The smell walking into Sweet Tooth used to make you want to float towards it like a Bugs Bunny cartoon. Now, I'm just disappointed and sad. The last time I tried to order a cake I felt the person I spoke to was a bit rude. I was told they couldn't do a specific thing, I immediately accepted that, said I understood, and thanked them for their time. But, that wasn't good enough. They tried to sell me some completely different plain unrelated cake, I once again politely thanked them for their time and said I was really only looking for this specific something, and they again said they couldn't do it, as if I was insisting they do it. I again said, I understand you can't do it, I understand your reason, that's fine, but I'm trying to find this specific thing so I will have to look elsewhere for this specific event, but thank you for your time. They seemed to be shocked, as if I was the dumbest person in the world. They just kept pushing me and not letting me get off the phone making me very uncomfortable. I just wanted to politely finish the call and move on for one single event, and they kept pushing and pushing for something I didn't want. And when I possibly considered the idea of finding what I wanted elsewhere, as if the situation was, if they couldn't do it, no one ever could, they acted like I was insane. It wasn't hard to find, I found it literally the next place I contacted, and every other place I looked could do it. There actually wasn't any other place that couldn't. I didn't push it, I fully accepted their reasoning and thanked them, but that wasn't good enough. The way I was talked to was condescending and like I was insane for even trying to find a certain character cake. Them not being able to do it was actually a good thing, as the cake I got not only looked the way I wanted, it also tasted better. This event was a while back, but I have tasted cake from there since then, and still disappointed in how far downhill they have gone.
I'm leaving a 2 star review only because of how great they used to be. My history with them has been so memorable from my childhood that I can't bring myself to give only one star, but their quality, attention to detail, overall look, and finished product, do not warrant any stars. Save money, go to the grocery store and get a cheap cake, it'll be better. Or, buy one of those premix boxes and make one yourself, it'll taste better and probably look better too. read more
