    Okay, here's what. Long post warning! My mom called and placed an order over the phone the morning…read morebefore my birthday. I heard her describe the type of cake she wanted (butter pound with butter cream icing, pink and green colors, etc) I also heard her state a time for pick up the next day which was set for 10 AM. Issue #1. You must pay for the cake upon order or else they will not make you a cake. This is not exactly a big deal, but I guess there are just too many people prank calling for cake orders these days. Weird. The morning of my birthday, I jolted myself outta bed to check the time on the clock. Oh nooooo, it was 10:15 and my cake was ready fifteen minutes ago. I jumped up threw on something and hot tailed it to Ms. Polly's Ogeechee Rd. shop. I was pleasantly greeted as I took a seat for the man behind the counter to settle himself for he was running to and fro as if he was busy about some other business. He asked me for the name and I gave it to him. He checked the orders on the shelf, but nervously looked up and rushed into the prep room. He reappeared to verify the name and then asked when was it promised. I told him at 10 this morning (It was now 10:40.) He said, "No, it couldn't have been ten o'clock because we don't open til 10." He went back to the kitchen and reappeared with a piece of paper saying, "No, I have it right here, and it says 12:00 this afternoon. I wrote it down." Issue #2. Pretty obvious from that scenario. So I left annoyed because now it was getting into the way of MY DAY's plans. But what can you do? At 12:25, my mom received a call from Ms. Polly's stating that the cake order was ready. Since I was sitting in the same room, I immediately grabbed my purse, but my guy took me to have a bday lunch first. We were out at least 1.5 hours before we arrived back at Ms. Polly's to pick up the cake. At this time, the bottom of the sky let out a huge downpour of rain, so my man ran inside to retrieve the cake. When he returned the man told him that he had been calling since 11:00. Issue #3. Eye roll Now the taste... The cake was decorated with pretty colors, but the way the icing was spread looked a bit amateur. It was a two layer cake with icing in the middle which made it insanely too sweet, so for you all who scrap the excessive icing on you slice of cake, be prepared! Overall, I can't say it was a terrible experience because it wasn't, but I would love to have a butter pound cake in a single layer with butter cream icing. They said they don't make those. :-/ I give them an extra star for at least being polite through the process.

    I had a chance to visit Miss Polly's cake Giants the other day while in the neighborhood picking up…read moresomething from quickies, which is right up the street. I had noticed this establishment a couple of times before, but it wasn't open so today was my lucky day. One note in terms of parking. You should either park in the parking lot adjacent to the building or across the street as there isn't parking on the near side of the building. The day I walked in, there wasn't anybody else in the shop and I was actually greeted by the owners two young kids. They have several types of cake and cheesecake available for sale and I chose the red velvet and the carrot cake. I really enjoyed the Red Velvet. It was a traditional version, with really rich flavor and great icing. The carrot cake, while made really well, was on the stale side, so that wasn't the best version. Price to value was also decent with the per slice price somewhere at around 7 1/2 dollars because I paid a total of almost 15 for the two slices. For the size of the slice I would say it is a bit more on the expensive side, but I also get it because the price of ingredients are up as well They also offer custom order cakes and desserts so if you need that option, I would try them out. Ultimately, this is not a destination bakery for me because I live more than 20 minutes away, but I'll definitely be trying them out again in the future when I am in the area.

    I saw this pop up on Yelp and I had to get these adorable mini treats!! Each one is hand sculpted…read moreand beautifully hand decorated. She can make almost any theme or creation! I put in my St Patrick's cakesicle order about a month out to ensure I could get the highly demanded treats! She texts you when your order is ready and presents in in such a beautiful box!! I can't wait to order more! I'm just itching to think of events I can order cake pops for! She also does random pop-ups if you can catch it. That's the only time you can get the cake pops without pre-ordering. I highly suggest this business for all of your special events, holidays, or just because you want some pretty treats around.

    My first encounter with Sweet Whimsy Shop's (SWS) cake pops were at my friend's son's 1st birthday…read moreparty last year. I couldn't believe the attention to detail and wondered how its creator was able to put that kind of detail on a tiny, bite-sized cake lollipop and make it taste so good too! Was it done by magical cake pop fairies? I wanted to know! My friend gave me their Insta account and after scrolling (and drooling) through their countless creations, my obsession began!  After some time, I had heard they were doing a pop-up at Ways Station Coffee Co. in Richmond Hill for the coffee shop's 5th Anniversary Party and Big Bon Pizza was going to be there too. With my family in tow, we headed to the event excited to try coffee, pizza and cake pops! I mean, that sounds like a perfect meal, right?! I was SO excited! Well, we arrived about an hour after the event started and SWS had SOLD OUT! I mean, was I surprised? No. Was I disappointed? Uh, heck yeah! When was I going to eat these delicious little pops again? I bumped into another friend that night and I guess she arrived at the start of the event, probably because she knew better and she was able to snag a bunch of SWS' cake pops. I almost offered to pay her double, but refrained, because quite honestly, she would have probably told me NO! LOL. So I left with only coffee and pizza that night (insert sad face and some sniffles). So fast forward to my most recent encounters. SWS was organizing an event with Megan Myrick Photography over the summer called Christmas in July, so this time, I vowed to arrive on time! Well, the early bird gets the worm because I was able to secure four cake pops, and thank goodness because if I had come home empty handed after promises of cake pops, well you know what the outcome of that would have been! I was able to meet Becca, the cake pop artist (the "fairy") behind the edible art cake pops and this time, the cake pops were in a mini ice cream bar form in a Christmas theme with three in a pack. I got a fourth one that was in the shape of a Hot Chocolate cup character. The other time, we went to a grand opening of Kidzways and they had commissioned SWS to make the cake pops for the occasion.  Becca is just so incredibly talented, just scroll through her Insta and she's so humble about it too. If you are a cake pop enthusiast or aspiring cake pop artist, she posts behind-the-scenes videos on how she makes some of her pops. She makes it look so easy! As previously mentioned, on top of her beautiful and sometimes quirky designs (like Thanksgiving turkeys, flamingos, seahorses, YODA!) her cake pops are delicious! She does not compromise on taste nor quality and you can taste it! She bakes her cakes and whips icing from scratch and then molds these labor intensive cake pops into whatever vision you have (she has)! Her prices aren't too crazy either, considering how much work must go into those things. I literally cannot stress the details of these little delights on sticks (see pics).  And one last thing, her cake pops have been on The Late Late Show with James Corden. I mean, she's kind of a big deal and she's right here under our noses!   - Tips -  If you can't wait for a pop-up, you can also order through her website, but I imagine there is a minimum quantity, but plan ahead, because she books fast! I also noticed recently that she offers Cake Pop decorating classes at Kidzways, and I know that sold out as well, but if you want to see the artist in action and get a few tips, that may be your chance!
