I popped in yesterday to try their version of the viral fruit cakes. The owner was so lovely, very sociable, friendly with a great vibe and smile. She is also very generous, as I will be honest in saying, she gifted me the banana dessert, when I purchased the other two, which is the first time I've ever experienced that and I was surprised and very grateful.
So I got the banana for free and I personally purchased the strawberry and mango ones and despite getting an item for free and the service being amazing, I will review the items honestly.
Banana: the banana flavour is good, not fake in taste and the texture inside is nice but something about it I did not like, it was almost earthy and almost bitter in taste and the outside was a bit too thick and waxy, I was not a fan of this one 2/5.
Strawberry: tasted like a strawberry shortcake, which is not a cake I enjoy but this was better than the cakes I've had. It was soft inside and out, the strawberry filling was a little tart and the texture was not for me personally. It had a thinner layer on the outside which I preferred and made it less waxy. This one also had an almost earthy and almost bitter taste to it. Overall it was alright 2.5/5.
Mango: the mango flavour was bright, fresh and delicious but this one did not sit well as we tried the other two, the inside got very mushy. The outside layer was a nice thickness, an in-between the other two. This also tasted similar to the other two in that way I did not enjoy but a bit better, masked by the delicious mango. I didn't love it but it was the best out of the three 3/5.
I found these cakes taste a lot like Middle Eastern milk cake that I've had before, which I do not enjoy but this was a bit more of a pleasant experience and I did like the fruit flavours, each fruit flavour was fresh and real but these overall were not to my taste personally. I would absolutely visit again to try other items but I would not buy anymore of these fruit cakes.
