Patisserie Valerie

I really want to like them, but we have had around 4 to 5 sittings now of their fresh cakes, and each and every time I can't help but feel disappointed.

The bottom line is, they have no flavour.

I have done most of the range now and my wife has had a good go, and we both came to the same conclusion. My "Lemon Cheesecake" last night tasted of nothing at all, it was just cheesy and actually quite unpleasant. I felt cheated, and like I had not even had a dessert. The Black Forest slice I find to be average, the Berry Slice mu wife had last night was one of the better ones but still severely lacking in flavour.

Is this a universal opinion? I never even heard of the chain until this year and I expected great things, but to be honest I would rather eat some supermarket puddings over some of their tepid "cakes".
