Me too.... see?
I was so excited to eat this cake that I forgot to take a picture of the slice first. And being out of blogging practice, I didn't even get any good pics of the bakery or other pastries in the shop. Bad blogger!
So while I can't show you picture of the other delicious treats at Vicki Lee's, I CAN tell you that it is a bakery that you must make a point to visit if you're around the Belmont/Waltham area.
There's lots of seating and the bakery is bright, airy, white, clean and modern. The case isn't overwhelming- there are a few (GORGEOUS) cakes, cookies, little individual pastries, pies, gallettes, etc. Everything looks perfect and appetizing, and the service was great. We had no complaints at all and will definitely be going back.
The cake that I chose is a simple white cake with vanilla buttery buttercream, and filled with fresh strawberries and a thin, thin layer of something tangy, I believe it's a light lemon curd. I thought this cake was one of the best I've eaten- the cake was so light, spongy, and had a very delicate crumb. The buttercream was silky smooth, not too sweet, and super complimentary to the fruit and the cake. Hubs tried it and said it was awesome, not the best he's ever had (obviously, because I didn't make it, haha!) but a "really, really good wedding cake." I guess it did seem kind of wedding-y, which makes it even more awesome.
Whoever does the cake decorating at Vicki Lee's is ah-maze-ing. I'm talking meticulous, error-free piping. It was unreal, super impressive, tv-style cake decorating.
In addition to the sweets, Vicki Lee's also sells breakfast, sandwiches, soups, salads, coffees, etc. Our trip was quick, so we didn't try any of those items but they looked fresh and yummy.
Vicki Lee's is a must-go, and gets an A+ in our book!
