Hollingsworth’s Cookies and Fine Desserts

Unilocal seriously needs to rethink offering a «zero stars» option because this «bakery» is not even worth the one I’m giving it.
I had my sister in law order a tray from here for our pre-​Christmas family get together. BIGGEST MISTAKE I’VE EVER MADE. For starters when we went to pick it up we got the whole schpeel about how this woman went from baking for friends out of her house to baking out of the church basement to now owning this little shop– sounds like a dream come true! It’s an awesome story if you have the baked goods to back it up, which this place does not.
We received the tray and it was the sloppiest looking thing I’ve ever seen; my 6 and 9 year old nieces could have done a better job! The cookies were on the tray every which way, it was a jumbled mess. So anyway we get the tray home and unwrap it to sneak a taste, let me tell you I’m happy we did because I would have been more than embarrassed to serve anything on it to our family! These were arguably the worst cookies I’ve ever had in my life!!! We put the tray aside and wound up tossing it at the end of the night.
When ordering a cookie tray I don’t know about these people but I’m not only expecting tasty treats I’m also expecting beautifully baked and decorated cookies. Not only were some of them half burnt the sugar cookies barely had any sugar on them. The only sugar cookies on it were round red cookies and blue snowflake cookie, no thanks.
It’s clear that this is just another bored wanna be Haddonfield mommy with way too much time on her hands. Just because you friends and family tell you your stuff is «fabulous» doesn’t mean it’s true, they’re supposed to lie to your face, that’s what they’re there for!!! Needless to say I won’t be going back and I’ll be warning my friends and family not to go either.

I haven’t been to the actual location but sampled their goods at an event I went to. The chocolate cake was fantastic-​completely flour less and very rich. And also gluten-​free! The carrot cake was also a recommend if you like carrot cake. I’d definitely stop in next time I’m in Haddonfield based on what I sampled.

This review is based on an event that I saw them at. The real thing that I loved was their GLUTEN FREE CHOCOLATE CAKE… WOW!
I got to try their gluten free chocolate cake and it was so amazing… it basically melted in your mouth. The taste was out of this world and the texture was not grainy at all (like some GF desserts can be sometimes). The cake itself looked beautiful and I would absolutely get one of these in the future… my mouth is watering just thinking about it.
Their product presentation at this event was excellent, and the lady who was at the event was very personable and seemed to really enjoy talking to everyone about their products.
My brother tried various items they had out and he said that they all tasted great, sorry I can’t remember exactly what he tried.
I can’t talk to anything else like their location or the pricing… but I can say that I would pay whatever for that GF chocolate cake.

If I could give zero stars I would. I can’t decide what’s worse: the over priced, sub par, awful desserts or the obnoxious, snotty, unprofessional owner. She’s by far one of the worst people I’ve ever delt with… especially when I’m paying for a service! Save yourself hours of drama and frustration & go with another bakery if at the very least has more class!
