Cakes and Gateau

Absolutely awful! Bought the cake for my brothers 13^th birthday, decided not to stick to the usual reliable cake shops because he always walks past this shop and says he wants to try the cakes from here.
I initially wanted/​ordered a particular cake, after paying for it they realised they didn’t actually have it in stock and when I said, to just leave it and asked to have my money back as I felt none of the other cakes were appropriate for my brother they, they refused saying that when a transaction has gone through on the till they cannot return the money. So finally I had to settle on a different cake which had to be re-​iced in order to make it suitable.
The cake looked pretty good, but to be honest it isn’t that hard to make chocolate look good. I don’t think I’ve ever been more disappointed would’ve been better off buying an Iceland’s gâteau. The cake was stale, I can only imagine how long it had been since it was made. Admittedly the icing wasn’t terrible but the cake was so bad that my brother who would usually eat anything, including my awful cooking couldn’t stomach more than two spoonfuls. Everyone that was served the cake ended up throwing it away, we still had half the cake left which also had to be thrown away.
Waste of money. If you’re looking for a cake from an asian store you’re better off going to Banoful across the road from this place, or better yet my personal favourite — Patisserie Valerie in Spitafields is a good choice, definitely worth the money.
