Oh please. The Balducci's Dolly Sin is a big hit on holidays and celebrations with those teens - 20- somethings having very active taste buds. You must just be a cheapskate.

Wegmans has a chocolate raspberry cake that is to die for. It does not cost $100 but it does not feed a lot of people.

I entertained recently with WF individual tarts and desserts - the majority of them were completely flavorless. A real disappointment.

For the Wegman's cake, is this the "celebration" cake you can pre-order with a couple options (colors, size, flavors, sprinkles )? And by "white" you mean yellow cake?

The WF chantilly is actually white cake with white cream frosting and strawberries and blueberries just in the layer in between the cake. It's pretty when cut and really good.


This is a recent Wegman's cake that I ordered that was AMAZING:

Full Sheet
1/2 Chocolate Cake & 1/2 Gold Cake
Whipped Cream
Split Filling (Chocolate Custard, Raspberry)

Dolly's sin cake w/ vanilla haagen daz. It's always the first to go when we have dinner parties. I'd get something lighter to balance it out - maybe a tray of macaroons or a white cake from wegman's, or a fruit tart from balducci's.

I'd really love to find mini pastries assortment. WF is as close as I can find and they do not taste as good as they look.

I was coming to type this and I don’t even like plain boring white cake.
