Monica’s Bundt Cake

Paid $ 25 +tax for a dozen mini bundt cakes for my daughter’s birthday. It didn’t taste good or was not very appetizing. They were basically mini upside down cupcakes w some buttercream. I think it tasted old. I asked if I could have the ones in the back, freshly made but she said no. Variety of flavors, i didnt like any of them, maybe only strawberry but that even tasted like a box cake.

They did an awesome job making and decorating a Football Themed Bday Cake for a Tailgate 50^th! Big hit with Bday girl and all the gang! Thanks!

They did a beautiful job decorating our daughter’s birthday cake, even incorporated aspects of theme /​invitation /​décor that were emailed in advance. Buttercream frosting was good, but the cake itself was very dense and pretty dry.

Monica’s is an amazing place to get your custom cakes from. She created a 3D KU Jayhawk cake and a Charlie Brown cake that looked like something right off of the Food Network. Suzy is always a professional, friendly, values repeat customers, and goes the extra mile to make sure that I get exactly what I ordered.

Monica did a smart thing building her business around Bundt®. There’s a lot of types of cake that have a proper taste and texture — you’re supposed to make it a certain way. Bundt® doesn’t have that. In fact, Bundt® is a registered trademark of Nordic Ware and refers to the pan in which Bundt® cakes are cooked. Because there’s no expectations, you can’t really make any type of judgment on the technical proficiency of the resulting Bundt® cake aside from its inherent Bundt®-ness shape and the simple question of how good the Bundt® cake tastes. Personally, I find the Bundt® to be pretty good — moist, dense, and with a little tang from sour cream frosting — though even in mini-​Bundt® form, the cake was a little too big for one serving. It didn’t stop me from eating it in one serving, but I felt totes bad later in the day.
The Bundt® cupcakes are a little better size, made with the same Bundt® batter, and with a slightly heavier frosting-​to-​cream ratio, if you’re into that sort of thing. Plus, they have sprinkles and are usually a bit more adventurous in flavorings. Referring to the as cupcakes reinstates a little bit of that expectation, though, so when I took a bite of the cupcake, part of my brain was telling me that it was much too heavy for a cupcake, but I had to remember it was simply a Bundt® cake in cupcake form. Besides, Wichita missed most of the cupcake fad from a few years ago, so I’ll take what I can get.
The smartest thing Monica’s could do was put her sweet Bundt® in Dillon’s and local merchants like the neighboring Spice Merchant. It’s where I got my samples, and it allows people to try a mouthful of Bundt® when they would otherwise be a little too intimidated to walk into the store and feel the mighty pull of the Bundt® imploring to be eaten.

We decided to stop by Monica’s to try her bundt cakes. We got two different cakes and one of them was a carrot cake. I noticed that there was a sign next the register that said satisfaction guaranteed, so when we tried the carrot cake and it tasted more like a spice cake, I called the store and actually got to speak to the Monica. I told her that the cake didn’t taste like carrot cake, but more like spice cake. Her response was «It is obvious then that you don’t know what carrot cake tastes like.» She did say that we could bring the cake back, per her policy, but based upon her comment, we haven’t been back and won’t ever be going back.

Went in a few days ahead of time. I needed the cake for 9:00 am on a saturday. She said that someone would be there at 8:30 and I could pick it up then. I prepaid because she wasn’t sure if the register would be open when my husband arrived.
Saturday morning he picked up the cake no problem!
It was pretty dang good too!!!
