Carrot Cake Comparison

 

Date: 11/11/12

Background: A new store “The Range” has opened in good ol’ Rugby, so we went there for a general Sunday mooch, and consequently had a coffee in their cafe.

What: Carrot Cake (Cake of the Day)

Where: The Range, Rugby store

How Much?: I got it for £3.25 on offer with a tea for one. But the cake itself would have been £2.40 (pricey!)

What was Good:

  • It was a carrot cake! If you remember my previous blog posts you will remember my passion for this particular nommable!
  • It was a light and airy cake
  • It had a nice sweet cream cheese frosting
  • It had delicious crunchy chopped walnuts to garnish it
  • I liked very much that it had an ooey gooey filling! Even if it was the same as the topping..

What was Bad:

  • Being pre-sliced, it was a starting to go a bit dry on the edges
  • The cream cheese frosting was not as nice as Jamie Oliver’s recipe from my previous blog
  • It was expensive for what it was!
  • It was not as flavoursome as my delicious cake of perfection I made previously either! It did not taste as though it had as much spice.

Would I go here again? For cake? No, too expensive! For general house/craft/hobby purchases? YES!
