Why buy cake?

[Silverspringcruiser]

I just can't figure out where to put more dessert into my schedule. Should I have it before or after my afternoon pizza?

I've only had it a couple of times, but the chocolate cake at the coffee bar is soooo good and worth paying an extra $2.50.

Because they're delicious. What more reason is needed?

 

I love the chocolate cake, the carrot cake, the cheesecake, the fruit tarts and the chocolate covered strawberries. Love the milkshakes as well. And the gelato!!!

We love the chocolate covered strawberries! The cake is a great afternoon sweet for our family to share;)

[Sparky2]

We have. I think one of those big slices is $2.50 and we shared and still couldn't finish it. Just couldn't pass it up because it looked sooooo good!

 

We shared a huge piece of carrot cake. My SO finished his half & I put part of mine in the fridge. Never did finish it. It was yummy but so-o-o so rich.

I have a tradition of buying a piece of the carrot cake on the first or second day. I always take what I can't finish back to the cabin to finish off later the next day. The desserts at the coffee bar put the MDR to shame. So much better and definitely worth the price.

Their strawberry short cake is to die for. I could eat it in one sitting. Just have to take a whole lot of insulin😄

You are gonna be dead a lot longer than you are going to be alive . It's $2.50 for a nice piece of cake. ENJOY :)

In addition, those who spend their money the way they want is because they can. I've seen posts in the past "Why would someone pay extra to dine in a specialty restaurant when there is plenty of free food?". It's because they can and it is not for me to question why.

 

Totally agree with the above.

Basically, people are willing to pay more to get something better. :)

I've gained 6 lbs just reading all the posts on this thread! Now I think I might just have to talk the Hubster into springing for a slice or two!

Both.

With all the delicious desserts Carnival already provides what reason is there to spend money on pastries at the coffee bar? Are they that much better? I know the coffee is better; that I understand.

 

Carnivals desserts are disgusting.

[jsfromsc]

Sometimes those other desserts just call to me. :D

[Ehpride]

We always order one of the chocolate cakes because they're delicious!

Okay, you've talked me into it! I longingly drool over the cakes, but have never partaken. This time I will. Thanks for the push. :p

 

I have gotten a birthday cake for my mom before and it was quite good.

[singbluesilver1]

That carrot cake is to die for, now I have to try the chocolate!

Never bought the cake or pastries, but the chocolate covered strawberries are awesome. They don't serve that on lido.

[My6Dogs]

Hmmm ... I may have to squeeze some carrot cake in between ice cream cones...

I never get the cake but I love the strawberries. I get them 3-4x. I also ordered a non voyage cake and lived it on my lady cruise. So I plan to order an anniversary one too. I love the one with strawberry filling.

That CARROT CAKE is delicious! and it's only like $1.95 or $2.95 and yes enough for 2 people.

 

You can get steak in the MDR but people still pay $35 to eat in the steakhouse...right?

[Sarah@Sea]

The birthday cake...no, never again....for birthdays we get the carrot cake...lol.

 

Also, we had a lot of OBC and we don't drink much and the ship we were on had no steakhouse so we visited the cafe often for lattes, and such.

Is there some place we can see a menu from the coffee shop?

For the same reason people buy a fruit basket when it's readily available in the buffet area every day...because it's there and because people can.
