Favor Desserts

As you all know, I have a serious sweet tooth. My friend’s birthday is Sunday and I happened to be in town for work and wanted to have an early celebration with her. I found Favor Desserts and decided to check them out. The service was excellent. They had friendly staff, a clean bakery, and adequate parking. I couldn’t decide what to select so I picked up 4 pieces to share. The cake was delicious! They also had cupcakes in the case, but I didn’t try any of them. The five flavor pound cake was flavorful, dense, but yet still moist which is difficult to achieve in a pound cake. I love icing and all the slices had plenty. I know you are asking “why 4 stars?” The bakery uses Clover. I was able to check-in, but the staff did not know how to use the app. It appears their loyalty card is through Clover. Employees should learn to use the app. I love a good loyalty program, but it doesn’t matter if it can’t be used properly. Other than that minor thing, I have no complaints. I’ll be stopping in the next time l’m in Durham to visit their new store and get some delicious cake!

I love to support Black-owned businesses. Favors Desserts is one of my all-time favorites. I usually order cupcakes or a slice of the three-layer cake. The carrot cake cupcake is AMAZING! There's chunks of walnuts and the cream cheese icing is so creamy. When it comes to three-layer sliced cakes, Italian cream is my go-to. The cupcakes make a great gift for a friend, party, or celebration.

Cake bakery that is a true treat. Cakes are just so moist and flavorful. The flavors are both simple and complex at the same time. They regularly have a variety of cake slices and cupcakes available. And of course they sell full cakes as well which can be ordered. The carrot cake is my personal favorite but I have had a slice that I haven’t loved. If you haven’t been, this is a must visit type of place.

These savory delicious desserts were worth my drive! I live in North Raleigh and heard wonderful things about the cakes! Well hunny chile the cakes are heavenly! The customer service from the counter was exceptional, what a well mannered respectful young man. The coffee condiment counter was pristine clean. The lobby was inviting and cozy. The prices are extremely reasonable and the portions are generous. You will be more than delighted. I shall return!

The best cake I've ever eaten! Super rich and moist; this very dense cake goes well with milk. And the frosting is out of this world! Especially the cream cheese frosting on the red velvet cake. The cake is expensive, but absolutely worth it! And if you come on Wednesday, the cupcakes are half price at $2 each! They live up to their slogan, "Pound for pound, we're the best in town!" A true gem of Durham!
