Intro: I went to BYO with my two friends after the exam. Made one cake each, but the same type of cake. After trying, I recommend for friends, better to make one cake by yourself, but choose the same kind of cake, because if your friend chooses different cake than you, you cannot interact or chat with your friends much since the procedures for cakes are very different. However, I did see some couples making the same cake. Note that an extra $60 is needed if two people make the same cake and
We used eatigo so we had 50% discount, so I recommend you to use eatigo too! ( link for downloading eatigo for apple devices is at the 題外話section
Menu: Attached is the general menu, though there may be seasonal additions))
Basically, I reserved for 12:00 on eatigo, and once we went in, we had to tell the staff what we had to choose and pay first, then the staff led us to a working space and introduced the spaces eg washing space, materials preparation area etc. there is a locker to put your personal belongings (you can set a password there) and you have to put on an apron.
Environment: clean and aesthetic!!! The things are arranged in a tidy and systematic way BUT sometimes we have to hunt for things (some of the materials are in high/low places) The whippers are cute in pastel colours!!!
I chose the strawberry mousse cake, which was fun to make (with three layers). However, my friend who chose the earl grey cake was slightly disappointed because the cake had one layer only and once the cake was in the oven, you had 35 minutes for nothing while waiting for the cake to cook
Instructions were clear and concise (customers are given an ipad with instructions on it) just have to pay attention and follow the instructions
Taste: I added an additional $30 to have access to unlimited decorations. The decorations are so cute so I recommend you guys to add $30 dollars too! The strawberry cake was very good( better than I expected because my baking skills are meh)! The mousse was sweet and creamy))
Ingredients: ingredients were normal eg Pauls milk
OVERALL
+clear procedures
+good taste
-poor staff attitude
they seem unwilling to help you and that time, I accidentally used a larger 8-inch board instead of a 6-inch one, and the staff said accusingly "You used the wrong board, now you have to use the bigger box". It was like the staff didn't want me to use a bigger box.
-sometimes, it is hard to find the ingredients because they are at the very bottom/ in a hidden tray. especially hard to find the cutting board, for example.
REMINDERS
-if you are shorter (like me TT), remember to choose the middle/ lowest section of the ovens. I accidentally chose the top layer and it was hard to put my cake in.
-if you are capable, try to choose harder cakes with more layers/macarons because if you choose those that are too easy, most of the time you have nothing to do
OVERALL COMMENTS
-generally pleasant experience
-however, I doubt that I will be coming back if it weren't for the eatigo discount (50% off)
