Cake Tasting #2: Corby Cakes, Cranston RI

Corby Cakes and Cookies
100 East St, Cranston RI

Tasting Experience
We were asked to choose four flavors ahead of time to taste at our appointment. We met Shemry at the tasting and she was so sweet. She had all our info including cake photos that I sent her printed out. She had cake pans stacked on top of each other to give us an idea of the size of our cake. She made samples of the little flowers that were similar to the ones on the design I sent her. Out of all the five bakers we went to, our meeting with Shemry was the most enjoyable and informative.  Before we left, Shemry packaged our leftovers for us to take home.

Cake
We tasted Red Velvet with cream cheese filling, Marble Cake with mocha filling, Triple Chocolate, and Strawberry Grand Marnier. The Red Velvet wasn’t moist enough for me, but definitely more moist than the Red Velvet from Sin Desserts. We tasted a small hint of liquorish flavor in the Triple Chocolate. I loved the flavor of the Strawberry Grand Marnier the best, but it wasn’t as moist as I wanted it to be as well. It also didn’t have enough strawberries in my opinion.  I like the buttercream, light and not too sweet.  Click here for a list of flavors.

Customer Service
Shemry was the quickest to reply to my first inquiry among all the other bakers I contacted.  She also emailed us the day after our tasting to see how we are and that she enjoyed meeting us.
