Are the 9" cakes any good.

[Thad409]

Was going to order a 9" cake for DS B-day, just wondering if they are any good. Thanks for any comments

Oh, yeah!  Way, way better than those on Lido!

[FastShip24]

Yes

[pe4all]

Very good.  Have had them numerous times.  Don't taste as "lardy" as lido cakes, imho.

They're still Carnival cakes - so they're not as sweet or rich as what many are used to in America. But I do think they're better than the cakes they serve on the evening buffet.

[nwcruiselover]

Yes, very good!

Our anniversary cake was very good last week.

I always order a scoop of lard on the side.

Love that "lardy" taste

Got the chocolate one for my birthday in February , way better then lido cakes 

[DenaInWyo]

I swear they frost the Lido cakes with criso-cream frosting.  

[Frank12]

Yes. Better than the cakes offered on the Lido deck by far!

I got married on the Carnival Fantasy and we ordered the red velvet for our cake. I remember it being good.

We got one one time pre-Covid and it was decent.  We got one post-Covid and it was terrible.

You seem to have bad luck with Carnival. We have had several, pre and post, and all have been very tasty.

5 of my 6 last cruises have been amazing experiences and I have left positive reviews.  However, if I had a bad cake and someone asks if the cake is good, I am going to state my opinion.  Is not it possible that with different chefs and different kitchen staff and on different ships at different times that I may have had a terrible cake even though you have always had ones that were very tasty?  People can have different experiences and their experiences all be valid.

I was not trying to dig at anything. I can understand everyone has their opinion. A bad cake is a bad cake.

@canes20 I apologize for reading it that way.

I was just thinking about ordering a cake for our anniversary, so I'm happy to see this topic.

 

Alternatively, was thinking about the chocolate chip cookies if anyone has any experience with those.

The 9" chocolate cake is amazing. The filling makes it very moist and delicious. I wish I could bring one home. I only order the small one because we always have so much to eat on Carnival that there is not much room for dessert and the cabin is always too crowded to try to keep it for a few days.

[mmtska]

We just had one in March for our anniversary and it was very good. The only problem was finding the time to eat it when we weren't stuffed.

another vote for they’re way better than the lido cake slices! We ordered one our first cruise and then when we had lido desserts we were very disappointed. We expected them to be as good. And especially for the price, I’d totally get one again!

We l like them very much, ordered a Chocolate one for my hubby's birthday when we cruise in 2 weeks.  Though I will say I like the old chocolate cake better than the new chocolate cakes.

[SRQbeachgirl]

Which one is better - chocolate or red velvet?
