 Their Italian rum cake is layered with rum syrup, vanilla and chocolate cream, and sliced almonds, while the lemon raspberry cake perfectly balances bright citrus with sweet berry filling. But the real star?

Their famous Boston cream pie, which Lovefood says is the customer favorite. Honestly, I'm already mentally clearing space in my fridge.
