Wuollet Bakery

Best bakery in town! Highly suggest the frosted petit fours! I’ve been coming here since I was a child and my mom ordered my birthday cakes. A truly great family business and a must try.

Wow. I have never stopped eating a cupcake because it was so awful before. How does this happen at a well known local bakery?
When I worked for large corporation, a Wuollet soufflé cake was THE standard for someone in the office with a birthday, never a question. And it was GOOD.
I have driven by this Wuollet Bakery shop for years. AND the one on Hennepin in Minneapolis. I decided to stop into a store front and see what they have. It is very typical bakery faire — donuts, cookies, bread, cakes, garlic toast. I looked at their special menus — princess cake, Scandanavian specialties, wedding cake. I didn’t see anything in the shop that was interesting, but I decided I’d get a devil’s food cupcake with white buttercream (white, not vanilla) on top. I don’t like much frosting, and true to trend, the amount of frosting almost doubled the size of the cupcake. So, I took off the frosting and just ate the cake. Well one bite of it.
The texture was crumbly, not moist at all. The flavor was more the dusty, chalky taste of baker’s cocoa, but somehow, without the chocolate flavor. It was TERRIBLE.
It all went back in the bag, then into the trash. A cupcake! Something is very wrong here.
Maybe they really only excel at cakes made with sponge, or maybe all of that fresh strawberry filling just covered for a big old mess, but I’m not going to bother with them again. Man, can’t even get a cupcake right.
