Very delicious cupcake 😋🧁Was at the Baltimore Ave dollar stroll and was gifted this cupcake. So tasty, good amount of icing which was on point. Real vanilla buttercream, light, smooth and creamy, just the perfect amount of sweetness, not super sugary. The cake texture was a little firm but had a lovely homemade taste. They also had a variety of other sliced cakes and drinks that looked absolutely amazing. Hopefully I can try at the next event

Amazing! So I ate the free cupcake on the way home. So yummy. Moist cake with the most light perfectly sweetened icing. I tried the strawberry cake, wasn’t crazy about it. Trying the carrot cake for breakfast… carrot cake wasn’t good at all. They should have just sold the free cupcakes.

The cake was just ok. I had 7-up. I liked it but it is nothing to rave about. My friend had strawberry and she was extremely disappointed. She said it was dry and lacked flavor. We were asked to submit a review before we even tasted the cake. I came back to give a full true review after actually tasting.

I used too good to go @chester marketplace to sample before I placed an order for a birthday cake. I went to this location to place the order...several times. As in 4 times before pick up. I wish pics were still allowed here as you would see the disappointment clearly for yourself. The cake didn't come close to what it should've looked like. They forgot to write "happy Birthday....." and when that was mentioned she wanted to write it in green which would've absolutely been wrong. So I just took the cake as is and hoped it tasted good. Nope. Flavorless. Nothing at all like the flavorful slices I received at Chester. Clearly a simple syrup mixture was on the cake as you could see and taste where it was brushed on for "taste" and for moisture. Even with the sugar mix on...it only soaked about half way through. The cake was dry tasteless and crumbled like corn bread. Not trying to hurt the business because the slices from CHESTER ONLY!!! We're awesome enough to order a whole cake from them in the 1st place. Nothing they can do at this point to fix it as my sons birthday is over and I was embarrassed my guests were subjected to such an inferior cake. I know better next time. I would not recommend this location sorry not sorry. Too good to go from here was a bag of peaches a cupcake (stale hard and tasteless) amd 2 cake pops that were melted stale and tasteless.
