Buh bye.. my first experience was heart-wrenching … picking up my order birthday cake and it looking like posted gov’t cheese instead of a champaigned color harlequin design.. i cried… Ayse helped me as best as she could… the picture in the cake book was distorted (which i assumed was the right color) and she did the cake in its acutal color and cake book photo, gov’t cheese. I cursed holy hell at the staff and her for putting a false representation in a cake book. She fixed it, somewhat, but it throw my whole day off. At the end the cake was ok looking; tasted great.. no one new better.. except me

I would still love to find out where the recipe for the coconut cake came from. Whether it be by book or mouth. Frankly, I don’t care, it would just be nice to know the recipe, LoL. I pretty much figured the recipes were her own interpretation of the best of the best recipes she could find; as with most bakeries. I wonder if Ayse reads these.

Anyone who has ever made a chocolate cake, vanilla cake or swiss meringue buttercream may have used a near identical recipe to each other, even if they never talked. Creating a bakery is about putting an entire concept together, and making everything from the recipes, to the designs, to the pricing work. I don’t know the source of the recipes, but I do know that it takes a real chef to put it all together and keep it running for many years. I also know the owner would be happy to share anything she knows, just like I’m sure other chefs did with her along the way.

Too bad that all of you polka dot fans dont realize that the “chef” owner didnt even come up with the most beloved recipes for her own bakery. The only thing she put on the menu of her own was cheesecake. She was lucky to find people who would share their recipes and what they learned to help polka dot become a success.

Oh no! Polka Dot was on my list of places to hit next time I was in the city with friends.

Hope the mail order works well for her.

(Vanilla Bean Lemonade sounds lovely by the way! Good luck with Amai :D)

So sad..I went today, hoping I could catch them (I had never tried their cakes before!) and sadly, they were pretty much all packed up! I guess it’s not a total loss-Ayse will still be making cakes–now to find an event to buy a cake for!

The coconut cake was amazing! I couldn’t believe how good the cake and the cream were. I honestly wish I had the recipe. Oh well. Will Ayse still be making the miniature cakes by appointment? I don’t need much more than a small portion of them for myself.
Thanks.
