The trick to eating this cake-- giving it time.
We got this cake as an office for someone who requested it, and loves it... I found it to be good, although the strawberries and filling inside were a little too chilled at the time we ate it (a few hours after picking it up). I would say it was tasty, but not impressive. I had a piece that I saved in the fridge and ended up eating it the next day-- wow-- a totally different cake! It had time to become all one temperature and allowed the filling to soak into the cake a bit and it tasted sooo much better. I recommend picking up your cake the day before you need it. :) Looking around the website I personally would have liked to have tried the Sicilian Orange cake, so perhaps that one is next... The co-worker who picked it up said the bakery smelled divine, the staff were wonderful, and the cake really was beautifully decorated to my specifications when I took it out of the box.
