Chocolate Strawberry Cake $18 

A super reasonable price for a last minute 5 inch cake right before Christmas! I was lucky they had some extra cakes and they were able to accommodate my request for a chocolate cake with either strawberry or raspberry frosting. I got the strawberry cake and it was quite nice! Once the buttercream melted, it was very soft with a fragrant strawberry floral flavour. The cake was a bit on the dry side, but it was still pretty rich in flavour and tasty. 

Carrot Pan Cake $12

I love the cream cheese icing Phipps makes with their carrot cake! It's probably one of the best cream cheese icings I've tried since it's not too sweet and not too heavy. It also pairs amazingly well with the moist carrot cake (that doesn't have raisins!). The pan cake today didn't have as much icing, but it still tasted delicious with the roasted walnuts on top too.

Mardi Gras Cake! $29

Layers of chocolate cake sandwiched with walnut meringue and fudge frosting, iced in a caramel butter cream, caramel and ganache.

The Mardi Gras cake can only be ordered in the medium size (8 inches)

The chocolate cake was delicious and I really liked the caramel buttercream and fudge frosting. The cake was on the sweet side especially since it had lots of chocolate and caramel throughout. I was a little disappointed by the walnut meringue in the cake since it was really crumbly, but it could also be that the cake needed a bit more time to freeze before I started eating it. Overall though, it was a great cake, but it's a lot of cake to finish if you have two people.

Peach Divine Cake $12.30

Phipps' divine cake is similar to a coffee cake, but it's more substantial and not as dry. The cake was pretty good with a nice glaze on top and lots of peaches. I liked the outer crust which was harder like a coffee cake, but the inside was soft like a really moist pound cake.

Orange Nut Carrot Cake $18 (small)

I absolutely love their carrot cake! It does have raisins (which I don't like), but you barely notice them in the cake because it's so delicious. The cream cheese icing is AMAZING and the crispy nuts and crumble on top add a fun texture to the icing and the cake. The cake itself is moist and soft and has some really good spices to give it a fragrant aroma. Delish!

Marble Cheesecake Brownie $10

I've had their marble cheesecake brownie before when it was fresher. This tray wasn't as fresh (which you could kinda tell from the edges), but it was still good.

Chocolate pecan tart and butter tart

The pecan tart was really tasty, but I think I would have preferred it with the regular crust as opposed to the chocolate crust. The butter tart was good, but not as good as Carla's.
