TIA Tue Aug 14 07:04:05 -0700 2007 91796 chowdom 1 2844055 It's been more than ten years since I've had a piece but it was top-notch then. Tue Aug 14 09:15:17 -0700 2007 2843521 11503 jakeyd 1 2846062 i work in riverdale and have the opportunity to get it with some frequency. it is nearly always good, though i'd be lying if i did not mention that on extremely rare occasions it can be a touch dry. for the most part, though, it is excellent--moist, not too sweet, with very sweet and tasty cream cheese frosting. available both with and without nuts and raisins... Tue Aug 14 17:06:38 -0700 2007 2843521 11087 esteban 2 2846494 it's delicious, and i'm not much of a carrot cake/ cream cheese frosting fan!

I did pick up a Lloyd's carrot cake,and it was a hit,as a matter of fact a couple of guests plan to order cakes for upcomming functions. Several people stated it was the best carrot cake they ever had. By the way the slices they sell seem to be different than the whole cakes, not as good. Go with a whole cake!

Tue Aug 21 11:52:18 -0700 2007 2858574 68385 fsval 3 2866693 Apparently S&S closes the bakery for the summer! Tue Aug 21 12:30:58 -0700 2007 2866514 91796 chowdom 4 2868876 They do? Sometimes I pick up the delis next door before 12am. I do prefer the fresh ones in the morning though :) Wed Aug 22 06:15:19 -0700 2007 2866693 68385 fsval 5 2869166 When I called the message stated the bakery was closed,have a nice summer. Does the deli have the cakes now, if so how are they getting them? Wed Aug 22 07:54:05 -0700 2007 2868876 91796 chowdom 6 2885547 You're right. I called them, and they were closed. They said they are closed until the 27th (thats today). And to stay on the line and leave a message if you're a wholesaler. So I guess that's how the delis get em.. :) I went three weeks ago to the deli right next to subway station, and got a small one. They had a sign that says we sell S&S cheesecake. And they only had two more left, and some chocolate mousse. BTW, has anyone tried the Red Velvet in Lloyds? I'm curious if they taste any good.

Didn't know they make Red Velvet cake though. Maybe they have changed somehow. I vaguely remember that they made sweet potato pies that were pretty good. Is that still going? Mon Aug 27 22:54:02 -0700 2007 2885547 10422 HLing 7 3185092 Just saw your post fsval, sorry for the delay. We tried a red velvet and didn't care for it, I'd stick with the carrot cake.
