Two Moms Baked Goods

Giving this a two simply because I’ve only had one thing from here.
On my birthday I went on a hunt for the perfect cupcake. Decided to grab a cookies and cream one of here. The cake portion if it was dense and tasted stale. The icing was simple buttercream. Had a little oily feel to it, but most buttercream frosting does, you can’t really do anything about that. The cookie bit on top was hard and tasted very salty. I honestly think I was given an old cupcake. I was really disappointed. With the cost there really is no reason to be serving old product.
I will not ever be back again and don’t recommend this place.

The poor reviews here strike me as unfair. I have used this bakery to supply cookies for class parties on two occasions and also picked up the occasional school-​friendly special treat when I am in the area.
The interior isn’t particularly fancy, but it seems like more of a take-​out/​pick-​up store rather than an eat-​in café. And the products are professional and well presented when I have been there.
The staff have been friendly and helpful — not at all rude or unresponsive. The sugar cookies for school were actually very reasonably priced and tasty — the other items are a little pricier, but I expect that at a specialty shop and certainly not out of range with similar Toronto bakeries.
Don’t let the couple poor reviews turn you off if this place is convenient for you.

This review is based on first impressions only. I have $ 30 worth of product sitting in the kitchen right now for a party later on (Dealicious coupon).
I walked in and the cashier was on the phone giving some baking instructions to someone. She did notice me and gave me the «1 second» finger. There were 3 staff/​owners (2 baking and 1 on a table in the middle of the store doing Sunday’s orders). They all looked at me and went back to their business. No greetings from anyone. All the local places in the area know me as I support the community business … those that don’t I would expect to greet newcomers.
The store presentation is bland and there wasn’t much product at 11am on a Friday. It is certainly not an attractive place that says «buy me» from a product standpoint. There was a stand next to the counter that held pickup orders — trays of cookies, etc. (I had about 3 – 4 minutes to roam around before I was served). Open baking area in the back. No «smells» at all — something that I would expect (ie: fresh cookies, brownies, etc)
I’ll update based on product later on — but 2 strikes are already gone due to first impressions — 1 reserved for posting if the product is above par.

I must have walked past this place a million times. I was always curious but I never had any inclination to walk in and sample their treats. Turns out I wasn’t missing anything. On a self mandated mission to try more things in my neighbourhood, I moseyed in here one summer day. I was greeted with genuine smile and hi from the woman at the counter. As I took in the products and prices my eyes nearly popped out of my head. $ 3.75 for a cupcake? Who are they kidding? After a nice conversation about the near-​ubiquity and trendiness of whoopie pies I settled on a chocolate and vanilla one for $ 2.50. I didn’t feel like sitting alone in the shop so I walked to a nearby park. I was eager to pop my whoopie pie cherry so I greedily bit in to it and was surprised by the chalky, dry texture of the cake. I tasted stale and faintly of chocolate. The vanilla cream was no improvement on the cake, it was gummy and tasted only of sugar. Uck. I was so dissapointed, I threw away the second half.
I give them one star for the quality of the whoopie pie but I bumped it up to two because of the atmosphere and friendly staff.
