    Super Mario cake I didn't like.

    Been going to this bakery since I was a child but I am so disappointed in the cake I recently received for my son's birthday. 2 years ago I order a Spiderman cake and it was perfect. This year I did Super Mario and was highly disappointed! The picture was so small and it looks like a rush job compared to the other cake

    I love this small bakery, everything is always fresh. So as I'm driving down Belair rd I hear on the radio it's national doughnut day. It must be fate cause I looked to my right and I'm sitting right in front of the bakery, i whipped that car around like a scene from the fast and the furious right into an open parking spot in front of the store. I ended up getting strawberry shortcake and oh yea a doughnut as well.

    So fresh and so good

    Everything is always fresh...just enough sugar just enough everything cakes, pies, bread, donuts, pastries etc... The staff is so efficient, and pleasant. They. Even have a table or two just case you cannot wait to get home to enjoy your treats. They can get a little busy however the wait is never long.

    This is my favorite bakery. They always have fresh baked goods and reasonable priced. They did our wedding cake 7 years ago, and they also did my mom's wedding cake, so we love coming to Woodlea Bakey. The staff is always kind and they always greet you. Today's visit was to pick up a strawberry short cake for my anniversary dinner. I was hoping to get a large square cake, but they only had a round cake. They did try to offer me a huge square one, but it was just two of us. So I settled on the two single slices. I did tell her we will be back to get a 10 yr anniversary cake.

    Was surprised last night with a birthday celebration by friends. The cake was from Woodlea Bakery which I had never heard of. Well, now I have. And now I'll go there because this cake was fantastic. The spongecake and frosting were fresh with plump strawberries. Beautiful.

    Since moving to the area I've been maybe 4-5 times and it's always a great experience. The staff is always friendly and helpful with any questions you may have. I try to get something new each time so I can make my way through all of their options. This last visit I was finally able to try the big donut I'd heard about and it's pretty good. It's also huge! I also got an apple pie for my lunch the next day that was also delicious! I've tried different flavors in other visits and everything was great. I'll definitely be back, because it's right up the street and I pass it all of the time.

    Mold...check your cake!!!!

    Molded cake! just bought a cake for my Marine son's Welcome Home celebration and it was disgustingly riddled with mold! What a big disappointment! Of course, I dug in to the taste of rotten fish in my mouth. I think an old cake was purposely set aside for me to buy, if I was judging by the unfriendly nature of the person that answered the phone 730 this morning. Who do they have working for them???Woodlea, you have a staff person (young, female) that is sabotaging your business and will cost you money. I will contact the health department and send pics of this cake!

    Favorite new bakery been there twice they serve Zeke's coffee. They have donuts about a foot in diameter donuts as big as your face I'm still wondering what to do with them aside from the shock value. The mega donuts come in glazed and chocolate frosted. I like regular glazed donuts because that's the way I like them at Krispy Kreme, they have glazed donuts here and the same size donut shape like a pretzel. I am very happy with our regular glazed donuts here because they're not Doughy. Another favorite here is the little bite-size chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese in them. They have bite-size cheesecakes also with three different jellies on top. I'm still really infatuated with this place so my reviews will be slanted on the high side.

    Cracking icing
    Chazz S.

    My family and I have gone to Woodlea Bakery for years but over the years especially within the last two we have all noticed a change in not only the ingredients but the customer service as well. My brother preordered a birthday cake for his wife to be picked up the next day. When I went to pick the cake up I immediately noticed the icing was cracking all over. I went back into the store in to explain that the cake looked old and the older clerk who assisted me made me feel as though I did something wrong. I have gotten numerous cakes from this bakery and none of them have EVER looked like what I picked up yesterday. The clerk insisted the cake was fresh and said the icing cracked because it was probably moved around in the box. This still doesn't make sense to me and I had only had the cake in my possession for less than five minutes, I didn't even make it to my car as you can see the picture attached is me standing outside of their bakery. The only time I've noticed icing cracking or chipping is if the cake has sat for some days and harden. Buttercream icing shouldn't crack if it's fresh. I felt like a lot of time was wasted on deciding how to resolve the issue when the prime solution should have been to either remake a fresh cake or provide me with something similar the moment I brought the cake back into the bakery. The clerk who assisted me also stated the cake I was picking up was the same cake my brother picked out. All of the icing on the other similar birthday cakes in their display case looked soft and fresh, why was the icing on the cake that I was picking appearing hardened and cracked? Why would you pass off product that is subpar? If I were running a bakery that very cake would have NEVER crossed my counter and into a customers hands. I went to pick this cake up on my lunch break and because of this situation I was late getting back to work. In the end I was given a different cake which looked much more fresh and the icing was not cracking all over which I am grateful for. However, Woodlea Bakery will not EVER get my business again or my families business who have been coming there for over 20 years. I typically don't write reviews unless I feel like I have to and in this case it was needed. This experience has left a bad taste in my mouth just like the pastries I bought from them not too long ago which is sad because they used to be very delicious. You can tell that their ingredients have changed in their pastries and other baked goods. The good quality in their desserts is no longer there. Please save your money and support a different stand alone bakeries or grocery store bakeries.

    I recently had a chance to check out Meringue Cake Stuido while visiting my friend about halfway…read morebetween our two homes. They were incredibly thorough with all of their ingredients and allergens. They make everything from scratch, but I was not able to have any of the desserts since they were all made with soy flour, but they went above and beyond, helping me choose a lunch and checking ingredient information for everything. They were so incredibly kind and patient and did not make me feel like a burden at all by asking questions. I ended up going with the grilled ham cheese and tomato sandwich on ciabatta with a cheddar cheese, and they give you a few choices for sides. I went with the orange slices and I also picked up a cup of coffee - their chocolate hazelnut coffee with cream and sugar. They even came back a few minutes later because they saw I had a peanut allergy and just wanted to make sure that hazelnut was safe for me as well. They were so sweet. Every person there was really accommodating and when I first walked in, they were helping a customer choose a cake for their daughter's birthday, which seemed to be taking a while, but they were patient and kind with her as well. This is a family owned operation and they really put their heart and soul and everything. The spot itself is just tucked into a shopping center and the interior is cozy and cute. They have a wide variety of desserts and pastries, along with sandwiches, breakfast options and drinks. Everything smelled and looked amazing. I wish I had been able to try a dessert, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone in the area that is able to eat their desserts. Their cakes looked so good. I really enjoyed my sandwich. It was so filling and had a really good flavor! The tomato just made the ham pop and the orange slices were really refreshing. I don't usually go with fruit as a side, but I think I need to start doing that more often! Their coffee was really good too. The chocolate hazelnut flavor was not overpowering, but had a nice subtle flavor. I would absolutely be back.
