WOW! I'm flabbergasted. As part of my cake tasting journey, Cake 2 was at the top of my list. Seeing as it received good ratings, I was looking forward to my visit. What an utter disappointment! 1. No one greeted me when I entered;2. While I stood in front of the display for what seemed like an eternity, the staff sat at her desk chatting on her phone;3. I had to make eye contact and move my lips to grab her attention; 4. There was no product introduction from her part;5. When asked about custom-made cakes, she had the nerve to say: "I can't hear what you just said." First, please take off your earphones! I'm sure it'd help with your hearing problem. I should've left as soon as I stepped inside, but I didn't want to leave empty handed. Now that I think about it, something was seriously wrong here. Isn't it common sense to prioritise clients? Hang up the phone, put it on hold, do whatever you want, but at least have interaction with customers to acknowledge their existence. At no moment, did the girl do that. All she did was carry on with her chit chat the whole time. The only effort she made was handing me a business card. Anyway, let's talk about the tasting results. Just like my last tasting, I chose four flavours (from upper left to lower right): --- Creme Brulee Almond Tart ($38) ---Look: dome-shaped, quite attractiveTaste: vanilla seeds in almond creme, milky; too sweet for my liking Texture: creamy-smooth top that instantly melts; thick tart crust --- 72% Dark Chocolate Mousse with Brownies ($38) ---Look: glossy glaze with chocolate shards; very dark colour Taste: strong cocoa flavour; must like chocolate to enjoy Texture: hard shards, soft mousse, sticky glaze --- Rose Mousse with Creme Brulee ($38) ---Look: sharp red colour; rose petal on topTaste: strong rose aroma, especially at first bite; a bit artificial; must like rose flavour to enjoyTexture: rose shell cracks when cut; creamy-soft mousse inside--- Coconut Pineapple ($38) ---Look: thin square white chocolate on squished dome (website picture looks better)Taste: sour flavour from pineapple mixed with coconut mousse; tropical feel Texture: soft and creamy; dome crust cracks in tiny pieces Although the cakes are all filled with creamy texture, each has its own distinctive flavour. For the looks, I'd go with Cream Brulee Almond Tart. For the taste, I'm more inclined towards Coconut Pineapple. To be honest the cakes are fine, but the service, utterly RIDICULOUS. Cake 2 definitely needs to look into the matter. With a service like that, I'm positive that a custom-made cake for my mom's 60th birthday from Cake 2 is out of the question.

家人生日,朋友大力推介 cake 2,所以早2星期前就订了1磅蛋糕。店舖唔似饼店,反而似 d design 公司。男店员会按收蛋糕系咩人,作出推几款推介,服务态度 我最后拣了花形蛋糕,好典雅。馅料系绿茶红豆,味道不错。众人看见蛋糕都赞靓。可惜系太厚cream,原来家人不喜欢,下次只好拣其他款。

早前经过尖东,见到这家叫做Cake Square的蛋糕店,有著吸引的蛋糕仔,又见肚仔有点饿,价钱$38属正常啦,就买回家跟家人一起分享这两件蛋糕仔啦~第一件是法式炖蛋吉士杏仁酱挞,卖相不错吧~入口时先是吃到法式炖蛋,软棉棉的,炖蛋的味道也蛮浓郁的。可是到了撑的部份…一来觉得不够脆,二来觉得利用这个情况下,杏仁跟吉士好像不够夹的,加起上来,再混合在炖蛋之中,几个部份分得很开的。嗯…净计上半部分,这个法式炖蛋不错;加上挞的部份以后,分数大大被拖低了。这是椰子慕丝配菠萝粒~椰子慕丝很香,比想像中要好吃啦,可是…菠萝粒感觉是用上平日即食那种..诚意欠奉。——————————————————————————————小记:个人认为,香港现时的蛋糕店多得很,店主们也很努力地把不同的元素放入蛋糕之中,为求给顾客不同的惊喜,要成为突出而又多人能再次光顾的小店,诚意及努力是不可或缺的啦。不是说这家店不好啦,吃了两件蛋糕,两件均有赞及有弹的部分,该要在这边再钻研一下才行喔~

某日姊妹二人放假一天去尖沙咀行街拍拖拖~ 行到入半岛中心被门口嘅旋转木马蛋糕深深吸引住,再往蛋糕店内睇睇,仲有几个多层嘅结婚蛋糕,都系好靓好精美。妹妹对眼对食物就最敏感,正当我哗完打算走之际,佢大叫 “家姐,佢地有卖小蛋糕架,不如买两件Tea 丫~” 多数同妹妹出街都会一反常态,好啦,想试就试啦~厨窗中的4件小大蛋糕中,我地拣左芒果慕丝蛋糕及法式炖蛋配上吉士杏仁酱挞。芒果味系妹妹拣嘅,芒果系佢嘅至爱~而挞就系我嘅至爱,所以拣呢个一d都唔出奇呢~Mango Mousse Cake 芒果慕丝蛋糕 由厚厚嘅芒果果肉包住慕丝蛋糕 ,蛋糕中间再有两层厚厚嘅芒果,甜中带有小小酸味,另蛋糕得到中和平衡,一d都唔腻~慕丝蛋糕真系好软滑,运送过程中被小路人冲左一下,蛋糕就倒了。由此证明蛋糕真材实料,无落过量鱼胶片去定形,虽然比我整到个样衰衰咁,但都冇影响到我地CAKE一CAKE 嘅雅庆~大笑过后,继续enjoy 芒果的清香味道~Cream Burlee with Almount tart 法式炖蛋配上吉士杏仁酱挞法式炖蛋以蛋糕造型出现真系第一次见~ 平时都喜欢食Cream Burlee,贪佢暖粒粒面头嘅焦糖又脆卜卜,今次无冇焦糖,改左我最爱嘅曲奇挞皮,配搭起上黎都真系几特别呀~上半滑滑流嘅就系法式炖蛋,同平常嘅炖蛋有d唔同,口感上有d似慕丝蛋糕,下层挞内充满吉士杏仁酱,喜欢食甜嘅相信都会几钟意呢个。挞如果可以再脆一d就好啦~
