pe4all Posted May 6, 2023 #4 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Very good. Have had them numerous times. Don't taste as "lardy" as lido cakes, imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mz-s Posted May 6, 2023 #5 Share Posted May 6, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DenaInWyo Posted May 7, 2023 #12 Share Posted May 7, 2023 I swear they frost the Lido cakes with criso-cream frosting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to have bad luck with Carnival. We have had several, pre and post, and all have been very tasty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited May 7, 2023 by Eli_6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare SRQbeachgirl Posted May 7, 2023 #20 Share Posted May 7, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallyho8 Posted May 8, 2023 #21 Share Posted May 8, 2023 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 Posted May 8, 2023 #22 Share Posted May 8, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelkel2 Posted May 8, 2023 #23 Share Posted May 8, 2023 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!

wemjam Posted May 8, 2023 #24 Share Posted May 8, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
