[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Cake Room- hands down. They have a great coconut layer cake. They are expensive but worth it for a special occasion.[/quote]

Absolutely disagree. I followed what was probably your recommendation on this exact topic last April. Went to cake room and bought the $50 entire coconut cake for a birthday

The cake itself was over dense, flavorless (white) cake and tasted reminiscent of pure flour, suggesting the batter wasn’t blended

The frosting was 98% fat with horrible oily mouthfeel that left your lips oily.  Worse, the cake to frosting ratio was about 1:1.  Which is insane - you should never have that much frosting on a cake.

The only thing that made it a coconut cake vs a simple white cake was the sprinkle of wide pretty coconut flakes on the top.  They were dried out upon opening the cake box when I arrived home.

I hate to shit on a small business so I never wrote a bad review until today - and the reason I’m doing it now is to save someone else the $50 plus tip*.  This is an incredibly expensive homemade and yet awful cake.  You’d do better with Duncan Hines or Giant white cake with your own bag of coconut dumped on top.

(side question- why do they need a tip for ringing me up? I did tip ahead of time though)
