Cookie Factory

My housemate cooks and bakes by smell, not taste. But he can taste detail also. His birthday is today 9/21/2020 and he loves Italian Rum Cake. Luckily I was in the neighborhood of The Cookie Factory on Congress Street last Wednesday and I was able to order a freshly baked Italian Rum Cake 🎂🎉🎈. I picked it up Saturday. He loved it and likes the fact that the rum was in the filling and not drowning the 🍰 cake. (He love flavor & texture but not alcohol.) As he was enjoying his birthday cake, he shared with me how he knew it was baked fresh. He said he could tell by the Buttercream Frosting. He said after 3 days the sugar crystalizes and becomes crusty. WOW! I never knew!! Thank you The Cookie Factory for doing such a great job. 👍👍🙌🙂🙂

2 days ago, I called to order an apple upside-down pie. Yesterday, I got a call back saying they could not make this, but they could make an apple crumb pie. This was for my mother's birthday today. I went over this morning to pick it up and they told me they could not do that one either. I ended up having to spend a few hours today finding a substitute pie, so this review has nothing to do with the quality of goods there, just the service. I most likely will not be going back.

Two hits and two misses. Ordered cucidadi, individual strawberry cheesecake, mini eclair, and small ciabatta loaf. Sadly, the Cucidadi were hard and stale, and the cheesecake tasted artificial, with a small and soggy crust. They were disappointing. The eclair and the ciabatta were very good however. I think I’ll go back for the bread.
