This was my first & last trip to Lily's Bakery. I happened upon it while looking for some birthday cake for myself. I had such high hopes when I found the shop & you can tell the owner has nice taste in decorating the shop to make it look like a high end boutique experience. Something struck me as odd when I entered, & that was how close the counter was to the front door. You hardly had room to move, much less get a really good look at what they have to offer. They want you IN & OUT. Period.
Although their prices are expensive $8.99+ for a slice of cake???! I decided to take a chance & picked out the orig strawberry cake w/strawberry icing. Lily's got the pink color correct but the taste is NOT on point at all. . The cake was DRY but did taste a tiny bit like strawberry. The icing is whipped, very thin, crumbles off of the cake so that you don't get a taste of both unless you go back for a second swipe w/your fork to get the icing, then it's challenging trying to get cake and icing into your mouth at the same time, due to the icing being so brittle. Also, there was no flavor in the icing. It's actually a bit oily feeling in your mouth. The artificial strawberry goo they use between the layers was the only reason I cld choke it down. So disappointing. read more
