It’s definitely not worth $9 a slice. Publix chocolate cake is way better. I don’t mind pricey food but their cake is def overrated an overpriced.
No pictures but the Red Velvet Cheesecake was pretty good
Saw this company on some Facebook ads for NC state fair, so I screenshot it because I knew we were going the next day! We visited yesterday, the last day of fair and I found her! OF course I stopped!! We got Strawberry Crunch and Birthday Cake. It was amazing!! The cake texture was spot on, soft a fluffy! The icing was great also!! I wish I would've gotten a couple more lol! I didn't even get a picture of mine, the strawberry crunch lol It was gone! If I'm ever back up that way, I'd love to visit the store front!
Excellent cakes and customer service too! I arrived after the store was closed, Mr Hester opened the door and allowed me to make a purchase! Thank you so much! We enjoyed our cakes.
I wish I had pictures, but the red velvet cake here is hands down my favorite! I tried this bakery a few years ago and wasn’t impressed, but after tasting their red velvet cake at a friend’s party recently, I was blown away. A few weeks later, I had one of Favor’s cakes at Soul Forking Good and instantly recognized that same amazing flavor—which sent me straight to the Favor storefront for more. This time, I tried the strawberry crunch cake, which was rich, moist, and indulgent (though a bit buttery for my taste), and of course, my all-time favorite—the red velvet. The staff were friendly, and the shop was spotless.
Pound for pound
This was not worth the travel from Raleigh to Durham. $10 a slice not the portions illustrated on social media. I ordered three different flavors. Strawberry crunch was dense, cold and taste like colored flour. I'm disappointed.
The customer service was outstanding. To me the taste of the cakes have changed since the new location. I was not really as excited after tasting the strawberry crunch.
I was disappointed the price by far out weighed the taste. $20.00 for 2 slices that was less than 🫤
Great assortment of deserts and excellent customer service from Karen! This is now my spot whenever I have a sweet tooth or celebration! Thanks again!
My family and I visited this dessert shop on multiple occasions, and we were disappointed by the lack of customer service. Despite spending a significant amount of money, the owner never acknowledged us or thanked us for our business, even when we were leaving. We also found the prices to be quite high, with one slice of cake costing $9. We didn't spend a little bit of money, it was a hefty amount! The owner claimed this was due to the high cost of eggs, but this doesn't seem to align with the current market. Given the shop's location, it seems to have little competition, which might be a factor in its business practices. We believe that true success comes from appreciating your customers. This is the result of supporting a black owned business!

Moist, scrumptious cakes. Prices a bit high but nothing else like it.
Great Red Velvet Cupcakes. Great marketing on Instagram they have funny videos. My last visit got me an encounter with one of the guys in the Instagram videos was a cool guy and friendly. I am definitely going to recommend and return for more baked goods.
Purchased 3 cakes and a cupcake. The carrot cake was moist and good. The Strawberry cake was absolutely terrible. Dry and tasted like too much extract was used because had a strong taste and smell. The vanilla cake with chocolate icing was dry but icing was good. The crumb cupcake was ok. But for $9 a slice I expected more.
I see why they was fully stocked when I entered because these desserts is horrible! The pound cake was overly flavored (very nasty) Also the red velvet cupcakes was hard & dry.. Will not be returning.
The best cakes around ! You will not find anything like this ! Great customer service and the cakes are amazing !
