The Hungry Hero Dessert Co. — Restaurant in Sherwood

Overall excellent cookies/ cakes and cupcakes. I wish they would lay off on the extra salt on top of the cookies. It’s over the top and ruins the taste. But that’s the unfortunate trend and everyone does it. Overall excellent, and love how moist the cakes/ cupcakes are.

Below are my personal notes so I know what to get next time. You follow your own tasting notes, not mine

Cupcakes Cookies & Cream - chocolate cake layered with Oreo cookie frosting. Topped with rainbow sprinkles. can’t tell there is oreo in frosting. Cupcake moist and so good*

Churro - vanilla-cinnamon cake, vanilla-cinnamon cream cheese frosting, crushed cinnamon sugar candied potato chip crumble so much yummy cinnamon. I want more. So soft. Both frosting not over sweet which is how I like it * ( next time pink cake- unavailable today)

Vanilla birthday cake so so so so good.

COOKIES Chocolate Chip Potato Chip - chocolate chips, crushed potato chips, sea salt salty. Reminds me of Hawaii *

Cereal Killer - citrus scented sugar cookie, white chocolate chips, fruity pebbles, melted marshmallow center just like cereal *

Ugly - chocolate chips, frosted flakes, melted marshmallow center, sea salt salty. Not that ugly. Less sweet than cereal which is a good thing. Thought the marshmallow would be overpowering but it is a good balance. Surprised *

Oatmeal Butterscotch - old fashioned rolled oats, butterscotch morsels, sea salt. *good *

Coconut Bailey - coconut sugar cookie, toasted shredded coconut yummmmmm*

Snickerdoodle - brown sugar & cinnamon cookie rolled in turbinado sugar as expected *

Got another oatmeal covered chocolate cookie I can’t find on website. I like it better than the butterscotch one *

BARS Gay Bar - vanilla almond sprinkle sugar cookie base, vanilla frosting, rainbow sprinkles nut alert. Oups. Yum *

Debbie Bar - buttery graham cracker crust, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, crushed potato chips, sweet glaze * omg to die for. Love the coconut *

Gooey Butter Bar - gooey yellow cake bar & sweet cream cheese goo...

My fiancé and I booked our wedding cake and dessert table with this company for last year and we paid a 50% deposit of $256. We booked with them because the desserts were delicious and the staff was super friendly at our tasting. We had to postpone our wedding to 2021 due to covid, but since covid is still very present, we recently decided to cancel our wedding and just elope out of state. I sent in 3 emails to hungry hero and left a voicemail to cancel our contract before I finally heard back. I understand that they are a small business so instead of asking for a refund for my deposit, I requested a in store credit for a friends bridal shower for 15 guests. The owner, Alex, said he couldn’t refund us nor let us get any desserts for my friends bridal shower. He said the money can not be applied to anything else. He then went on to tell me about finances, and how they are in the hole because he has given refunds to people and can’t afford to do anymore. It doesn’t seem right that he has given refunds to some customers and not offering anything to others. I wasn’t asking for a full refund, I was asking for product with money I already paid, and he wasn’t willing to give me anything. I understand that they are a small business and I’m in full support of that, which is why I wasn’t asking for much. After going back and forth for 7 minutes, he decided to give me 12 cupcakes, and 12 brownies, out of the entire $256 that I paid. I’m super disappointed by this customer service. Businesses need to understand that Brides and grooms are also struggling with this pandemic, and the fact that he wouldn’t even let me use the amount of $256 that I had ALREADY PAID is not right. He is the only vendor from my wedding that did not refund me, even though all of my other vendors had non-refundable...

Update 2025: I’m still such a fan of this bakery and we stop in every time we are in the area and now our kids like it too. So much so, that one of them wanted the dessert bar for their birthday. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get any response from the bakery for the last two weeks between calls, email, and a voicemail. I guess it is good they’re so swamped with business that they can’t reply, and it was a learning opportunity in handling disappointment for our kid. Bumping back down to four stars.

Update 2020: Moved back to the area and stopped in again. Prices were listed, sales gal was friendly and helpful (and did the math correctly unlike the gal we previously encountered), and--most importantly--our cupcakes were moist and the bars chewy. Prices are reasonable for a boutique bakery. I'm so glad to see that our previous experience was just a bad day, and we will be back! Bumping from 4 stars to a full 5. 2018: Popped in here on a whim (because of their “all welcome” sign) and were greeted by wonderful smells. Pricing was a bit confusing, as there are no prices for individual pieces (only whole pies/cakes and by the dozen) so we were trying to guess what things cost based off of the customers in front of us. There are also no signs labeling what is currently available for purchase. Our blondie with chocolate and pecans was disappointingly hard and a dry (so much so that we couldn’t break it apart to share it), but loaded with pecans and chocolate. We got a good feeling about this place, and might have just hit a bad day. I’m willing to give it...
