Ordered: See picture here
Mint chocolate cheesecake cake (Grasshopper)
1.5/5 sugar cubes
Slight taste of mint at the start, which disappears into the cheesecake flavor, but we can barely taste the chocolate. Not many discernible textures to the cheescake itself. Too ambitious, this flavor combination didn't work with the cheesecake.
Red Velvet Cake
2/5 sugar cube
It was lacking cream cheese frosting, an essential element of red velvet cake. The cake itself was overpowered by the sugary frosting, and the cake didn't have cocoa. The cake was slightly hard, possibly from sitting out too long. The Red Velvet Ranger thinks her own version would handily defeat the one offered at Upper Crust.
Carrot cake
4/5 sugar cubes
Great icing, maybe a bit overpowering in sweetness. The center is better than the outside so the flavor not evenly distributed. The cake itself was nutty, mellow, but again, needed a little more moistness. We could actually taste the carrot. It could probably taste better if warmed.
Lemon Bar
3.5/5 sugar cubes
Gooey, tart, sweet, a standard bar but nothing special. Works well as a lemon bar, and better than the Starbucks version.
