The cake (oreo) was good!! Went here to get a slice for someone birthday and was told that the cupcakes are $2 on Wednesday. So me and the kids were back and racked up!!! The smell of the shop needs to be put into a bottle and be sold for $5.99 😋.

Yall ought to be ashamed of yourselves! Just because you're at the airport terminal doesn't mean you get to be ridiculous with your prices. Taste ain't bad, BUT NOT worth 9$/slice! Even my co-workers agree- and apparently I was overcharged. Your employee & I talked about the 9$ price only for him to charge me 10$/slice smh. Paying 9$/slice and the slice us crumpled up in the too-small container? I know not! I saw 5.25$ & thought no way, only to realize that was for the cupcakes. Then i saw it...9$ for a slice of cake... absurd. I bought to bixes of cake mix & 2 cans of frosting for cheaper than that! Y'all really need to evaluate the business model!

I'm particular about red velvet cake, and theirs is awesome!! Moist and the frosting is good too! I'm usually a cupcake person, so I've tried all flavors over the years. Other than the parking being tight sometimes, this is my recommended cake spot in the area.

Most delicious & moist cakes in town. Large selection to choose from. Love the new location on S. Alston Ave. I'm so proud of and happy for Mr. Hester, the owner.

I bought (2) 5 flavored pound cakes @ $45 per cake. I traveled with them about 3 hours. When I removed the cakes from the boxes the middle caved in and was very very moist (too moist) and crumbly. Not a good look for presentation! I take nothing away from the overall taste other than a bit too moist! Just wanted to let you know!

Im a true fan of favor since he was selling out of his car never been disappointed. BUT the last slice of strawberry shortcake was very dry which was very surprisingly disappointing. I have never thrown a slice of cake away until this weekend. This does not determine or stop me from being a true patron I will just stick with what I have been purchasing in the past. Red Velvet, five flavors and coconut.

I actually purchased my caked from J and J's Fish and Chicken but, this review is about the cake. Everything isn't for everyone but, I had red velvet and baby is was oh so good. I also purchased additional red velvet with pineapple coconut and lemon. I hope they are just as delicious as the red velvet. The price was food also.
