The Mayflower Bakery (La Flor De Mayo Bakery) — Restaurant in Maryland

It was a good dessert, great hours glad they were open late, honestly feel bad leaving a 3 star because I was so excited to try this place but I was a bit disappointed. I'm a baker myself so I respect the work this family puts into this. Macarons are no joke and super difficult to make and theirs had nice full shells and perfect feet, but the texture/mouthfeel was really weird--not like any italian, swiss or french macarons I've had--perhaps they use a bakery mix or something for them. I'm also more used to macarons with both buttercream and curd filling so it was weird with just filling. The chocolate ganache in the chocolate macaron was yummy though. Was hoping the lemon would be a bit more tart than it was, if the filling was a little brighter of a flavor maybe with more citric acid that would be lovely.

The cannoli was unfortunately not crunchy at all, but it did have a nice touch of cinnamon or something in it and a generous amount of chocolate that tasted high quality. Not too sweet. Since I'm not from here I have no idea if it's always this humid or if it contributed to the cannoli getting soft; maybe troubleshooting case humidity control would help. I also got them at end of day about 6pm.

The dulce de leche cupcake frosting was delicious; the kinder bar piece on top was also soft rather than crunchy sadly. A good chocolate cake base that tasted fresh. I know the presentation in the case is important but maybe adding the crunchy toppings while boxing them up would be better as little things like the crunchiness can make the difference between good and great! :)

Thank you for the dessert tonight and keep up the...

I stopped in here on a Wednesday morning to pick up some pastry/snacks for an office event. I got the fruit mini empanadas and macaroons. They had a wide variety of the fruit mini empanadas, but only 2 or 3 flavors left of the macaroons. Everything tasted delicious. The empanadas were just right...not too heavy, not too sweet, not too stuffed to make a mess (important for office events). It was just right. The macaroons, even though the selection was small that morning (they only had chocolate, caramel, and lemon....I got the chocolate and caramel) were perfectly tasteful. That perfect balance of crisp and fluffy. The filling were the perfect consistency of stiff, fluffy, and creamy. The added benefit was that this place was actually opened early. So many other local bakeries open around 8-10am. This place was open at 7, which was just right to pick up the treats before heading to the office. I'll definitely be back for the next office event, hopefully they'll have a bigger variety if macaroons when I come back....all the colors make for a vibrant and...

I have bought cupcakes from here for work multiple times, specially in the morning time when everything is supposed to be fresh, the cupcakes were always stale and I never minded my coworkers comments, because i have been ordering birthday cakes from here and i loved it, recently I tried to ordered an 8’ chocolate cake for a special birthday, i specified a heart shaped cake and the price of that same cake went up from 38$ to 57$ I was initially shocked because a heart shaped cake has less cake, but thought maybe the cake still was big and understood they make the prices and changed my order to make it 6’ since thats what I could afford, it was the 42$ still a lot for a cut cake, and then they said 47$ As i was about to pick up, i argued and it went back to 42$ none of that was a problem, the problem is the cake looked barely 5’ and very airy, I thought nothing of it until we cut the cake at 12 midnight and the cake was drowned in frosting and the cake was thin with thick layer of cream in between too. Kind of disappointed. Because I worked hard...
