We got a Cannoli Cupcake and a Cream Puff.
The cupcake wasn't very good. It was a pound cake with strawberry filling, very little Cannoli filling on top of that, about 1/2 tsp. Then it was covered with a strawberry frosting and chocolate shavings. Not sure where the heck some of those components came from but they don't belong in anything saying Cannoli. It was gross, could barely get past 2-3 bites.
The cream puff is too big, and the filling and pastry are nasty. When I order a cream puff I want an intact uncut pastry. The filling is a light cream with what clearly tastes like powdered sugar. Not sure what that cream is but it's not Italian pastry filling. The cream puff itself is dry and not light enough. The dough is far to heavy. Again neither of us made past 2-3 bites.
Makes me unsure of wanting to purchase certain goods from there. Clearly there is work to be done on these items...

Between 5 people, we still had more than half the cake leftover. Thank you, Opal’s for a beautiful and...

If you don't have apple, or blueberry turnovers but have pineapple. Then your doing it wrong! The only other complaint I have is the pastries are not fresh. Most are frozen prepared and dry or crumble. If you can't bake stuff fresh then you should probably find someone who can! Even grocery stores bake...
