A couple of nights ago, we were having dinner at Nandos in The Alpha Angle.  While waiting for our food to arrive, I suddenly had an attack of the cravings – something I hadn’t felt since I was in my first trimester.  Anyway, the craving was for cake and upstairs, conveniently, was Secret Recipe.  To be quite frank, whenever I think of Secret Recipe, I think of cheesecake.  Not any of their other cakes, but specifically cheesecake because I don’t like many of their other cakes.

Thinking it might have been the hunger pangs speaking to me in a rather unhealthy way, I thought I would wait until after dinner to see if I still wanted my cake.  Well, I did.  So off to Secret Recipe we went…

After looking through all the cakes on display, I settled for one called “Hazelnut Cheese”.  Since no one had ordered it, the cake was whole and I couldn’t see the inside but I figured the name “Hazelnut Cheese” left little to the imagine.  It was basically a hazelnut flavoured cheesecake with possibly some hazelnut pieces in it.  Sounded good to me.

Imagine my shock and surprise when this arrived:

This looks like a Hazelnut cream cake, not a cheese cake!  Rarely in my right mind do I ever order cream cakes because I don’t like cream.  I took the cake back and told them, “This isn’t a cheesecake.”

The staff replied, “Yes it is.”

Are you f***ing kidding me?  You call this a cheesecake?

“Oh, the cream is cream cheese,” they say.

Right… Let’s take a closer look at that “cream cheese”:

Let’s just give them the benefit of the doubt and say that it really is cream cheese frosting in there, that still doesn’t change the fact that this is NOT a cheesecake.  Carrot cakes have cream cheese frosting but that doesn’t make it a Carrot Cheesecake.

Some idiot in Secret Recipe really has no idea about cakes.  After that enormous letdown (hey, I’m pregnant with a craving for cheesecake, okay?), I don’t think I will be going back there again…
