My family and I always used to love this bakery due to my severe peanut allergy. That being said, the fact that it is no longer peanut free is disappointing to say the least. I have a pretty large family and we would always order from Woodland for each birthday (about 14 cakes per year) and I would often stop in on my way home from class for a cupcake or cookie. It is a shame that they could not remain peanut free. In addition, over the last few years or so we noticed a drastic decline in quality. The cases are never fully stocked and Woodland discontinued several good items like red velvet cupcakes. The goods available were stale. In general this bakery has been going downhill since ownership changed, and the latest change regarding peanut allergies certainly has not helped.
EDIT (5/23/17):
BEST. CRUMB. CAKE. EVER. I cook pretty well in my own right, so I appreciate REALLY good food. I usually make my own cakes, though baking is not my forte, because I am usually disappointed. The cookies are delicious and the crumb cake is hands down the best I have had ever had! Not too sweet, thin and moist cake with a thick piling of the best not too sweet, salty, hint of cinnamon DELICIOUS crumb.Perfectly balanced. They got this thing RIGHT!
I certainly do not "hate" your bakery, and I apologize if I gave you that impression. Thank you for taking the time to explain to me the reasons behind your decision. I would have called to discuss this had it not been for the fact that I visited your bakery back in October and told an employee how glad I was that you were peanut safe to which she responded, "thank you". That probably would have been a good opportunity to alert me to the change in person, which she blatantly failed to do. I am not a business owner so I suppose I wouldn't know, but to me that negligence seems like a huge liability issue.
Great people and a terrific pumpkin pie. Congratulations!
Also, do yourself a favor and get a few hand pies to go. Blueberry and cherry are my favorites and lemon is my wife's favorite.
Also thank you for the great recommendation for Mo Pweeze, I will definitely look into it.
I grew up loving this bakery for their cupcakes and cakes. (I am a sucker for buttercream frosting, and theirs is the best!) I've been back several times while visiting this past month, and everything tastes as delicious as ever. I can vouch for their cupcakes, shadow cake, and the sprinkle cookies. Yum! My favorite place. I want to buy everything.
Probably the best cake I've ever had was from here. I ordered a chocolate cake with chocolate mousse inside covered in chocolate frosting. It was amazing. It's a delicate balance when dealing with that much chocolate and not making it overly sweet. It was light and moist.
