They definitely make cakes just like the market. I was so sad that the market closed. Spring fling cake was literally my favorite cake in the world, so much, I used it for my wedding cake - Which was a hit for almost everyone!
Thank heavens Lala bakery has come to the rescue with the same bakers from the Market. I used their online order request around 4-5 pm on Friday, I did not hear back from them so I contacted them via yelp messenger to make sure they received my request. My order did not go through, but luckily they checked their email or yelp regularly and that helped. My only suggestion for improving this process (since their orders are placed only online), is perhaps use a program (ie. google forms) that allows the clients to also receive a copy of the order request so we know the order is processed, especially since the website stated specifically not to resubmit any request to avoid duplicates. Also, it would help if the website stated Lala bakery will call you directly to invoice you, and I did give my credit card info via the phone. (I do wish they took another payment service).
However, that said, they did reply promptly and I did obtain my spring fling cupcakes for a family dinner - which was an absolute hit. My grandmother in law, who is a baker herself (mostly for pies), said this was the best cupcake she's ever had in her life. :D
Spring fling, for those who don't know, is a zucchini cake (you cannot taste the vegetable, but it makes the cake more dense in a good way and moisture) and the filling/icing is cream cheese based and not too sweet (which always drives me nuts when the icing is way too sweet). There are some fresh fruit on top as well. I have yet to meet anyone who did not like their spring fling cake. My husband (who doesn't even like desserts) have agreed to get a spring fling cake every time we come back to colorado. So Lala bakery - please please please do not close. If you do, I'll lose my mind. THanks so much!
