The Blue Icing Dessert Bakery

Will never use her again
Didn’t come thru on the day.
Promised to have it ready the next day.
Then no call or email wouldn’t answer her phone.
So rushing last minute to find replacement cake for our sons bday

I was so excited when we picked our cakes up for a party we were throwing in Summerland. My step-​mom had heard about Blue Icing and had seen their amazing cakes. The place was cute and had a variety of gourmet looking cupcakes and specialty cakes. When we arrived, our cakes were ready to go and looked really good. (see photos). Both cakes had a ‘spilled martini glass’ theme with olives, etc… The smaller cake was supposed to be chocolate with raspberry and the larger sheet cake was lemon.
I guess people must buy these cakes for looks only. They held up really well in the transport of the cakes to the party. The birthday boy was impressed with how they looked as was everyone else at the party. The problem came when we went to taste them. They weren’t good. The larger lemon cake was incredibly dry. It even looked a little overcooked when you saw the cake itself. The chocolate cake was much more moist but there was no raspberry. There was some other type of frosting between layers. I don’t know if they just messed up or there was a miscommunication, but there was definitely no raspberry. I love cake and I especially love chocolate cake (check out what my last meal on earth would be on my Unilocal profile), but this cake was just not good. It didn’t taste awful, it just wasn’t worth eating. I took one bite and I was done.
In the end we were left with two cakes that no one wanted to take home. No one at the party wanted pieces to go and I think the cake it still sitting uneaten somewhere.
A very weak 3 stars for very nice presentation but cake you just don’t care to eat.
