I bought the dozen pastry for $26 and it is as delicious as it looks. There is a sizeable parking lot near by so its quite convenient to drop in.

Nothing special. You get a 8 in square cake with regular Vanilla Cake for the nepoleon and Tiramisu. For 25$ each cake, more effort should be placed into make it look better. Chinese cakes at T&T market still fair better.
Seriously, blue icing with my birthday name looking like it was done by an Elementary Kid really friggen puts me off. I am assuming you guys are new Bakery. Your cakes do not tastes fresh. The Texture of the cake, feels like it was premade. It could be a few weeks old. I Honestly hope, you guys are not making cakes like Dairy Queen where it was premade a month ago. Difference

Nothing really special about the pastries I bought. The lady at the counter was not so friendly at all, don't even smile. Seems so impatient when I asked about what kind of pastries and what kind of ingredients are. will not go back again.
