I love the mini cakes which are so cute, and perfect for birthdays as everyone can get their mini cake in their favorite flavor. Two of my favorite cakes I’ve tried was the strawberries and champagne cake (the name alone won me over), which is chocolate cake, with strawberry icing, champagne cream and topped with a chocolate dipped strawberry. My other top favorite was a cinnamon cake with cream cheese filling and small cinnamon sugar donut, but every cake thus far has been delicious!
If you are looking for a memorable dessert, try the overload! There is more than enough sugar packed in this dessert that you can easily share it, but let’s face it everyone is going to want their own as it just so outrageous that you have to order it!
