Baked In Baltimore — Restaurant in Baltimore

Like Toni said in their post about this place; the texture of the cake I just recently purchased is hard and dry (almost like cornbread but without the cornmeal) My gut told me I should have returned the cake as soon as I bought it because it wasn’t baked daily ( the shop employee even suggested that cakes taste better after a few weeks and would not certify that this cake was baked fresh)... Anyways from what I can deduce is that like some businesses, whose goal is to turn a quick profit and cut operating costs; this establishment is one of them and the warning signs were there but I chose to ignore them (a mistake I won’t do again) only one individual working (aka selling), inflated prices, fully stocked inventory of signature items with no expiration date or certificate of quality and a reception you find from an auto dealer trying to move sales — all make for a bad taste in this consumers mouth. I recommend you go to a bakery where you can smell the items being baked as you enter the shop or at least the remnants of freshly baked goods. When you go into this business you can easily judge which items are likely to be stale because of prolonged exposure to air...and at $4 a slice, you know this black owned business isn’t throwing away days-old cake for the sake of...

I came here after going to an appointment in the area. The neighborhood this establishment is in, is definitely questionable. But i heard the sweet potato pie and cake was amazing. First, this is not really a retail bakery. So I had to hit a buzzer for someone to open the door. Ok...fine. someone did come out and let me in the store. The store looks in shambles. Literally there was like 6 half dozen carts of sweet potato cupcakes and a couple fruity pebble cupcakes in a small counter top fridge thing. Honestly it was super sketchy. The man sold me the sweet potato cupcakes and two fruity pebble cupcakes, but he was still wearing the gloves he opened the door with and my payment, so I was like well at least im the first person here. I did not see him take the gloves off after I left. The fruity pebble cupcakes were meh. It had this weird red dye to center of the cupcake and the icing was eh. The sweet potato cupcakes tasted like Thanksgiving. They really are delicious. I dont know how this bakery makes money, or who they sell to, but they need to fix up their store front. I saw that they were broken into some time ago. I thibk if this place was relocated and had a not so rough looking storefront it would do...

I stumbled upon this rare find today, 8/5. I was looking for a place to eat lunch. Was I delighted! The owner was very friendly and suggested sweets I might enjoy. Of course,the sweet potato pie caught my eye because I think I make the best sw potato pie. But this one was exceptional. Both of our taste good, but it was a little lighter in texture than mine. I also had sw potato red velvet cake. You have got to try it!!! I will have to leave the comfort of DC AND TAKE ANOTHER TRIP TO BAKED IN BALTIMORE. Thank you kind sir. I did not get his name, but next...
