David’s Cakes

I love this shop and after the recent renovations it looks great. Their cakes, pies and sausage rolls are always good. I have never been disappointed. I have ordered several cakes and sandwich platters for special occasions and they are always ready on time and perfect. It is also a great spot to meet friends for a coffee!

My son came home one day and said there was this great cake shop nearby where we used to live. He had bought some cakes and wolfed them down in the car on the way home.
I thought I would pay a visit and buy some if they were that good. What a disappointment.
My son eats anything and everything that why he has weight problems. I prefer to eat quality over quantity and David’s Cakes at Baulk hams Hills is old fashioned (even though the store has only been open a short time) and the staff are obviously not trained in what to do when there’s more than one customer.
Talking to a customer when I entered I thought it would give me time to look around and make up my mind. Then I stood at the cake display waiting for the conversation to finish. It didn’t, it went on and on. Finally the customer, that’s right, the customer said he had to go.
He left and it was my turn. I hadn’t said anything to the girl, I hadn’t made disapproving noises but it was obvious she had other things to do and the delay was my fault — how, I don’t know. I asked about a couple of cakes as there was no signage, I got sighs and curt answers. Meanwhile another staff member emerged from the back of the shop. I chose two cakes and then left.
The cakes were both harder that I would have liked, I’d say they were baked the day before. One of them had fake cream which went straight in the bin. I would say at best they were average cakes. All in all not the most successful shopping expedition.
I won’t be going back.
