text: Freeds has shut down it is two other stores and has moved to the Target shopping center on Silverado Ranch and Eastern Loyalty is earned from years of consistency and mine was wavering For a while I was starting to wean from this bake shop because the second location did not taste as good as the original A recent trip to this new shop has vanquished all my past doubts about their decline and has brought back a new faith in them Katrina M has a picture of me eating a piece of strawberry shortcake on the sidewalk outside of Freeds without a fork or my dignity It did not take long before I stole a bite of my companions fruit tart as well nnWhen you enter the new shop the large building that use to be BBQ Galore you will be greeted by an overwhelming amount of space If it is possible this large building makes the display cases look minute Once you start looking around you will see that this new location is not missing very much in terms of baked goods despite the initial impression I did hear customers ask about when Freeds will start to make bread again I never bought bread from them always opting to go to Great Buns Bakery instead Freeds specialty lies in their cakes and that is why most of my friends and I swore by them when birthdays came around Nothing says you care about someone as much as a Freeds cake nnYou can not go wrong with the strawberry shortcake two layers of soft moist white cake with a layer of butter cream and fresh strawberries in the middle and some sliced almonds on the outside The black forest cake is also amazing The balance of chocolate cherry filling butter cream and chocolate shavings is superb I have had so many different cakes but I still remember a custom cake I ordered for my best friend It was a chocolate cake with Baileys butter cream I would suggest that if you have some time look into custom making a cake because you will not be disappointed nnI would continue to write about each individual item that I love but the review would go on for too long Eclaires black and white cookies and fruit tarts are all delicious
