"So I was searching for the perfect chocolate cake for Christmas and decided to track down a Brooklyn Blackout cake. I drove from Long Island to Greenpoint Brooklyn and would do it again in a heartbeat. I bought a 6 blackout cake for work and a 9 one for home. I also decided to buy a 6 pistachio cardamom cake and some cookies. The cookies are the best ever. Not overly sweet, gentle tastes of what they 're supposed to be(Ginger, peanut butter, etc) No overkill on these cookies except for the fact that eating one is almost like eating a meal. The Brooklyn Blackout cake-Half of the 6 cake I brought to work came home with me, not because it was disliked but because it 's a huge, heavy cake. I seriously underestimated its size. Again no overpowering, overly sweet flavors. Subtle chocolate flavors with hints of stout and generous thick filling that is not too sweet. It is not a traditional chocolate cake. It is in a class of it 's own. Now the pistachio cake which was , perhaps, my favorite. Again, a small sliver is enough to fill this 350 lber up. Cream cheese icing is fantastic and fresh and not too sweet. The cake itself was dense and mildly flavored. This is a very special cake from a very unique bakery with very friendly, helpful staff. I have never written a review this long before. However this place deserves all the praise it can get ."
