They've done a good job making the place *look* fancy, and the marketing and branding succeed in giving one the sense that they're in for a taste of something time-honored and proper. "Royal" this-and-that, blah-de-blah.What you get when you dig in, though, is miles away from what the decor is trying to sell you. These cakes are mediocre at best. All you really taste is the sugar.

What you get when you dig in, though, is miles away from what the decor is trying to sell you. These cakes are mediocre at best. All you really taste is the sugar. There is nothing delecate or subtle or artful about the flavors. They look nice enough, sure, but looks can be deceiving.
We tried two cakes -- a banoffee something-or-other, and something else which was on the pinkish-rose colored end of the spectrum. Beautiful looking cakes, the both of them. Neither, however, had many redeeming characteristics in the taste & flavor department other than sickly sweet. The texture of the cake was dry, almost crumbly. The icing utterly gratuitous. The base of the cake had the consistency of a 3-day old rice krispy treat but without any of the flavor.
Absolute disappointment.
If you're going to spend $50 on a treat, and the calories that go along with it, you really want it to be worth it. The characterless fare at Royal Touch will leave you wishing you had gone somewhere else.
For your high-end artisanal dessert spend, you'll be far better off patronizing L'Eclair de Genie in PP or Prince's Building. Now *that* is a place that's got its act together. Those eclairs -- also $50 -- are a thing of beauty.
