La Petite Pastry Shoppe

I have been purchasing cakes and cupcakes for years from La Petite and have to agree with the wedding cake disappointment review: Cakes are not decorated as nicely as they used to be. In fact there are times I look at the case and wonder who in the world did the decorations. They look so poorly done. Another experience is the so very dry cupcakes. I stopped buying cupcakes because they are so dry and now purchase the slices of cake because I do not find the cupcakes worth the calories ! I have another complaint, this is going to sound so very strange however, this is one of the few bakeries that offer cherry nut cake. What I am finding is that the cherry nut cake has absolutely no cherry nor walnut flavor. The colors are there. The texture is kind of there. The cake is moist. The flavors are just not there. It tastes like a regular yellow cake. Sometimes there is that the flavor of an ever so slightly under baked yellow cake. In fact my now gluten free (GF) partner who misses everything gluten and just loves cherry nut lived dangerously (GF for anti inflammatory purposes not celiac ). He tried my cherry nut cake as the last three times I thought my tastebuds were off. He too could not tell it was a cherry nut cake. It is almost like it could be a box mix or something? I did go against my better judgment and try a new mango cupcake. Not very good at all. I did not care for the dry whipped frosting ,the mango filling, the yellow orange chips on top and the cupcake was….. so very very dry !!! It is not inexpensive to make purchases at a bakery and quality appears to be suffering the last year or so.
