Like others, I had been turned off by their unreliable hours. I get it. You pull over off of the road, mouth salivating…. Or perhaps you left home specifically for a delicious cake, during what you thought were their hours and certainly normal business hours, just to approach their jubilantly designed façade to find that they’re closed! Ah, what a slap in the face this feels like, rejection! So I get it.
But after a very long time of not trying them again. I stopped off and my mango cupcake was perfection! Im not one for overly sweet nor do I like fillings. But this filling was just the right portion and not filled with a cheap artificially flavored gelatin. The cake’s texture and consistency, the icing’s perfect portion (not overly iced) and that juicy mango slice on top was just an exquisite treat. Damn. It was good.
Now I will say they have to do something about protecting the pastries from flies. :-/ I would avoid ordering anything not individually packaged.

I ordered a quiche for a breakfast event, and I loved it! I’m glad I finally stopped in after driving by for so many years. I’m looking forward to coming back and trying the other menu items

Was pretty excited to try this place out because I like supporting local businesses. I've stopped by here even during their unreasonably selective hours of operation. Even when I come at the time their sign says they're open, they aren't open. What's the point of a store front if you don't operate as a store?
A few family members and I stopped by Shortcake for the 1st time. It's a cute quaint little place and the young lady taking care of us was extremely sweet, pleasant, warm, and informative. I wanted to try the pound cake, but didn't really want to have to purchase a half of one; they didn't sell it by the slice but I got it anyway, thinking I'd share it with the rest. We got a pack of chocolate chip cookies and apples pastries, along with the cake. I only tried the pund cake and cookies. I liked the cookies after microwaving them for about 20 seconds. The pound cake had a fairly good flavor but it was quite gritty, as if made with some coconut flour. I've done some baking with coconut flour and almond flour but can't tolerate the coconut flour as it gets stuck in my throat. My other family members didn't enjoy any of theirs...they reported that the apple pastries were overloaded with dough with very little filling and did not like the cookies. They reported that the items were bland.
I still want to go back and try their beef patties and curry chicken patties, I think 🤔
