Any favorite cakes from Whole Foods bakery?

Does anyone have any favorite cakes from Whole Foods bakery? I have had the various cheesecakes and they are always quite good and I love their pies (apple and sweet potato in particular). However, I had a carrot cake recently and it was way too sweet for me though SO (the sugar fanatic) loved it.

    Actually, in general I don't like their cakes. But they vary by location so it really is dependent on where you are.

      I love their almond thingy - it like a toasted almond ice cream bar but in a yummy non frozen dessert.

        They do a lot of local sourcing so cakes vary by location.

          Yea, that's what I suspected actually so perhaps should post in a regional board.

            Yes, the fresh cakes and breads are baked locally. In the Raleigh/Durham area there's a central bakery in Morrisville, IIRC, that supplies the area. That would suggest that baked goods would differ from area to area.
