Poupart Bakery Inc — Restaurant in Lafayette

Ordered a 7 inch black forest cake similar to the one from the portal game.( aka a full brown cake) was completely shell shocked when I was greeted with a white colored cake. The woman at the register was sweet and understood my concern said thats how they normally make them, she offered me a 10% discount but when she typed in the price she said they had made a 8 inch ( a ten dollar difference) after all of that they were willing to still work with me. Which I highly appreciated, if you are coming to buy already pre-made cakes and desserts I highly reccomend, but when it comes to ordering you have to be VERY SPECIFIC.

Now I was still willing to buy the cake and try it out. With such limited time I didnt have much of a choice. So I bought it and served it at the party. Now I wouldn't have bothered to make a post after all the kindness I received when it came to the pricing, but the taste of the cake was a completely different matter. After unboxing it I noticed a very definite tilt to the cake. The cherry filling on the top was 100% out of a can, and there was no cherry liquor anywhere in the cake,which is the biggest point of a black forest cake. Hence the name. The cake itself tasted like just plain chocolate cake. I could have gotten the same quality at rouses for the same price. The final straw was that they didn't ask for the color of the frosting, and decided that a green font on a red black and white cake was alright. Not to mention the sibling I got it for doesn't know how to read cursive so the entire font was a loss to him. The frosting was tasty if not a bit too much. All in all I wont be ordering a cake from them, but I will be enjoying their amazing pastries. The French cheesecake and tarts are...

I really don't understand the 5 star reviews, must be from people who never once experienced a French pastry. Lots of garish colored things, but French staples like the croissant looked as if someone used the dough from the Pillsbury crescent can without bothering to read the instructions: saddest looking croissant I saw in a long time, and nowhere near the flaky perfection of a true French croissant. I've seen much better in any supermarket. The chocolate eclair was equally sad and the Italian cannoli were pre-filled: no self respecting pastry shop fills cannoli with the ricotta cheese filling ahead of time, because that makes the shell soggy. A proper cannoli is filled to order, so that the shell is super crunchy and crisp, a textural contrast to the smooth filling. Seeing how bad most of the products looked, we thought we'd play it safe: we ordered a cinnamon roll and cream puffs. The cinnamon roll was stale (more than a day old), the dough sour and the cinnamon had a chemical quality. The pate-a-choux for the cream puff was also stale, and the filling was probably straight out of a Sysco bag, and off tasting. I had many types of French pastries, In the USA, France and many other countries, and I can't even say this was by far the worst French bakery (I mean, it was horrible, and one of the worst bakeries anywhere). Mostly because there was nothing French in the place. And, independently of the country, there is no excuse to sell stale pastries at 4pm on a Friday. Probably their cakes are ok, but for sure they are not a French bakery. Not even an imitation of a French bakery. To (mis)quote Douglas Adams "a pastry that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike...

DO NOT order a cake from this place! I ordered a cake for my wife's birthday and it was garbage. Literal garbage. We hardly ate any of it before we through the whole thing away. First of all, when I walked in, the young girl behind the counter seemed busy with something even though I was the only one in the shop. So I waited to be acknowledged so I could place my order. She turned around and stared at me for a moment before finally asking in a rude tone "do you need something"? The last time I ordered a cake here, I was given a form to fill out so I could write down everything I wanted on the cake. Not this time. The girl asked me what I wanted and wrote it down herself. So, I ordered a white cake with a cream layer, with purple whipped icing, and the words "happy birthday (hername)" in darker purple icing. I was told it would be ready the next day. When I received the cake it was white buttercream, and her name was left off. The cake itself was very dry and seemed old, like it had been made days ago before I ever even placed the order. The cream was slimy and had a strange consistency. The cake was barely edible. I picked it up on her birthday, so I couldn't tell them it was wrong because then my wife wouldn't have had a birthday cake! All I knew when I picked it up was that the colors were wrong and her name was left off. I didn't find out until I got home that the ENTIRE CAKE WAS GARBAGE. My wife's birthday was ruined. Thank you very much Poupart Bakery. I will NEVER be ordering another cake...
