Remember my quest on finding the perfect cake for my mom's 60th birthday? My last tasting outing brought me to Ms B's Cakery. As soon as I entered the shop, one of the staff greeted me. She did alright, not especially friendly but still ok: responded and asked questions. As for the display, I was more than satisfied as it had different cake sizes which gave me an idea of what to get, and plenty of taster size (TS) cakes to choose from. Like usual I picked four flavours. 'Better Than Sex' (red li
From left to right:
--- Paradise ---Look: layers of light purple and white; fondant butterfly top
Taste: taro with hint of coconut; tiny bit on the sugary side
Texture: chiffon cake combined with creamy coconut
--- Melting Moments ---
Look: elegant red flower on bed of fresh cream
Taste: wonderful blend of strawberry and vanilla layers
Texture: layered chiffon cake with moist and fruity berries
--- Better than Sex ---
Look: sharp red lips; golden rock-looking caramel on dark brown choco melt
Taste: salted toffee and caramel; too chocolatey and sweet for my taste
Texture: moist chocolate fudge; caramel crunch
--- Sunshine ---
Look: elegant yellow flower on bed of lemon cream
Taste: tangy lemon flavour
Texture: soft cream, poppy seed chiffon
My favourite: definitely 'Melting Moments'. With each new bite, I fell in love with it all over again. I would've chosen this one, but the bigger sizes don't look as grand at all. Next favourite would be 'Sunshine' because it got the right sweetness level. The only no-no would be the sourness as some of the family members can't really take it. As for the other two TS, I found them too sugary for my taste. Despite it being a bit too sweet, 'Paradise' almost came out as a winner. Not just because mom likes purple, but also because of the delicious blend of taro and coconut. Too bad regular size cakes look too different from the tasters'. It's quite hard to choose.
Out of the three tastings I've done so far, Ms B's Cakery by far wins with looks, taste and texture. The icing flowers' petals carefully assembled together adds to the grandness of the cakes. The only thing I would reproach was that the cakes don't stick to their paper discs. The staff also didn't tape them down on the box. The cakes shifted a lot during their journey home. Other than that, I think I've made a decision.
