I found YummyTecture, thanks to Google Maps' proximity results to my "cake" query. It may have been one of the most rewarding searches I've had since arriving in the North Dallas area. I was familiar with the strip mall but had missed the shopfront time and again. Parked easily and entered the small shop. I was greeted by beautiful cakes staged on shelves, a vitrine of treats ready to eat, samples on the countertop, and a huge smile from Liz, the baker's sister.
The bakery's main business is cake design and personalized creations; you can see the detail and love that extends into every creation, from the big cakes on display to the bite-size samples. The showcase houses an organized and vivid array of colorful cupcakes, cake pops, cake slices, and deconstructed cake cups that you can buy and enjoy on the spot.
I just intended to get a little treat for my son's half-birthday, and rather than the usual cake/cupcake option I purchased 3-layered cake slices to suit the individual preferences of my kid, hubs, and me - Rainbow-Sprinkle Vanilla, Red Velvet, and Napoleon (vanilla, strawberry, chocolate).
Liz was lovely to chat with; she answered all my questions, describing the flavors of each confection with so much gusto that I wanted to buy one of each. She shared with me a sample of the rum fruit flavor; it was so delicious, felt like it melted in my mouth. Good thing they're close by because I will certainly return for more very soon.
Noteworthy Details
Product Experience:
o The four confections I tasted were created with the perfect balance of liquid and wet ingredients; every bite delivered a moist, cloudy-like crumb, and an explosion of flavors that were sweet enough without overwhelming your palate.
- I tried the four flavors previously mentioned. My favorites were the red velvet and rum fruit. My kid loved each of the three I brought home.
- My hubs does not like cake much; he is only tempted by carrot cake, and not just any will do. He was at first bummed to see the piece of red velvet cake I brought him, but that all changed with one bite. He devoured it with such delight that the kid and I just barely got a chance to get a taste of it.
- - I hope that a carrot cake from YummyTecture lives up to the expectations the red velvet cake has now created, but we have a new favorite if it doesn't.
Price:
Each cake slice was $10; a little pricey in my opinion but allows you to taste test flavors and textures before committing to a full cake order.
o I suppose that if you're placing a large order for a special occasion, they offer private tastings as part of the sales service, but I did not ask. If they do not, it would be a good suggestion to add.
Vibe:
Positive energy radiates through the space; you feel the passion for the craft the moment you walk in. I would have loved to sit at a little bistro set with a cup of coffee enjoying a sweet treat and lovely conversation with Liz.
Look forward to taking and sharing photos the next time I visit. read more
