  1. Sorry to miss this. I still dream of the slice of Silk's carrot cake I had a while back. Maybe next weekend I'll take a walk over there. This is one establishment that needs to stick around.

  2. Stopped by the tasting. The milk bread in the picture was cut into quarters if not sixths. So it kind of went down to the stomach before the taste sank in. After having the milk bread crumbs, I felt that I had to give them some business, so bought 4 cupcakes for $14. Not a bad experience over all but not sure if I'd stop by for future tastings.

  3. Way over priced. You can get an entire meal at McDonalds across the street for the price of a slice of carrot cake.
