West End Bakery Inc

I bought a cake yesterday anx it waz awful, i have never ever tasted a cake with such a bad flavor, texture on both frosting and cake. OmG ! I am giving it 2 stars just because is d only thing I have tried and because i like to think that it was rotten and she didnt realized that, which doesnt make it any better, but is preferred to think like that, is impossible for me to think that a cake could taste soooo bad.

Let me start by saying that I either never liked or never had good Cheese Cake until I came here around 8 years ago. When I first came here I felt like wow, a foreigner in an Italian place and had no idea what to order as it was stuff I never seen, except for Cannolis and Eclairs. While looking at the window, it was then that Cheese Cake talked to me when I was looking at it so I got both the Blueberry and Strawberry.

For $12 for a whole 8" Cake, its a hell lot cheaper than anything you'll find of excellent quality and forget about doing it yourself, unless you have something else in mind or if you're that good. Believe me, Juniors' best can not even touch the cheese cake they make here and you're paying what for Juniors'?

That's where I started ordering at least 2 every week or so for a whole year. The lady is really wonderful and I guess she was shocked from the first time to the last time I was there at how serious I took their cheesecake without gaining incredible amounts of weight. And believe me, she is a one woman army taking care of 10 people at a time though we are all understandably patient with her as she's probably almost 80. There's a self serve coffee station too, just not a place to sit, more of a take out/delivery type bakery.

I have read the reviews. I have NEVER had a bad cake from West End. I left Brooklyn several years ago for upstate NY and truly miss their goodies - especially their cannoli cheesecake which I am always trying to copy. There are no good bakeries in this part of NYS and I really miss my old neighborhood bakeries and butchers. Thanks, Randazzo family, for great desserts in a family setting!
