Chocolate Buttercream

We were disappointed with our recent Chocolate Buttercream Cake from Chocolate Maven. It tasted artificial and not very moist. The issue may be ours as we have been away from Santa Fe for a few years and have gotten off seed oils since we left. After we tried the cake, I checked and learned that Chocolate Maven uses seed oils in their cake batter. That may be why it tasted so bad to us. Such a disappointment! We will not be buying any more cakes from them.

My friends and I love this cake and order it for special occasions. However... it has gone from $35 to $40 and now to $52 ($40 cake + $12 for gluten free) for the 6" gluten free version. OUCH! We were shocked and sad to see such a big price hike.

I hesitated to review this cake, but it was a small 50th birthday cake for myself. The cake itself was super moist, but the frosting like others mentioned was terrible. It was thick, very greasy, and no real flavor. I had two pieces and left it out to see how long it would last. The frosting never really softened, it just remained thick, very greasy, and not appetizing. I was super disappointed and threw it away. I had heard such wonderful things about the bakery. I also purchased cupcakes, a green chile apple pie (which had one piece eaten and then thrown away) and a cookie while there. This will be a one off experience, sadly.
