A co-worker of mine was recently raving about the cakes and desserts he obtained from a place called Wow Factor Desserts in Sherwood Park. I have a major sweet tooth, so I simply had to head down there and check it out myself. Wow Factor Desserts, is in fact a large factory that produces dozens upon dozens of desserts for high end restaurants in the Edmonton area, desserts for special big-wig events and they also have a retail section at the factory where you can go and purchase individual desserts by themselves. Just because it is a dessert factory doesn’t mean the product is mediocre by any stretch. On the contrary, the taste and quality here is leaps and bounds ahead of any desserts I’ve ever tried elsewhere. Here’s some mini reviews of some of the desserts I’ve tried: Triple Chocolate Cake: A rich, moist chocaholics dream come true. Two layers of cake separated by delicious icing. Sweet, but not over powering.(They also have a chocolate cake here that is SEVEN layers thick and about SIX inches high!) Apple Pie: Can you believe an apple pie that is TWO inches thick? And this monster is as tasty as it is big. Carrot Cake: Good gawd almighty! This is the best cake of any kind I’ve ever had in my life. A rich, moist and delicious cake covered in the most amazing icing. At 600 calories a slice, you can kiss your diet goodbye. Boy, oh, boy this dessert is straight from heaven. All their desserts are sold in a frozen state in large boxes. Most are 12″ across. All the cakes and desserts are already pre-cut and the slices are separated with wax paper, which is super convenient and avoids messes. They also have a large selection of cheese cakes if that’s your thing. Be warned though. These desserts are not cheap. Were talking $ 30-$ 40 a dessert here. But you pay for what you get, and these are high-end desserts. But hey, you only live once. Why not treat yourself to something truly good every once in a while? Wow Factor is an apt name for this place. I can guarantee you’ll be saying«Wow!» after you try their outstanding desserts. If you have a sweet tooth and haven’t tried Wow Factor Desserts yet, I suggest you get your ass down to Sherwood Park and check’em out pronto.
