We bought a Groupon to One Sweet Slice and the next day I checked their FB page only to see the notice that they were closing in about a week! So we rushed to order our cake before they closed. I've never ordered a bakery cake like this before-we've had birthday cakes from Costco that we just picked out of the "ready-now" case (not special ordered) but that's the closest thing. We decided on the Strawberry Lemonade flavor which has strawberry cake and lemon curd filling. There was fondant over a shortening frosting. We enjoyed the details and the sprinkle of glitter. I didn't specify any design-they put down creative freedom on the order sheet.
We thought it was a very cute design and the cake was yummy. We wish there had been more lemon curd filling (see picture below to see how much the frosting went in between the layers) although I know that they like the filling to stay contained so it doesn't leak out. The very thin fondant layer and decorations were definitely edible but the thick white shortening frosting? Meh. No buttercream-just straight shortening, powdered sugar and a little bit of flavoring that couldn't save it. (At least that's what it tasted like.) We scraped it off as much as we could-that was the only downside.
Overall it was a fun experience and we're glad we got to try One Sweet Slice!
