Red Velvet Cookie

• Cake: Doesn't really have a noticeable cocoa flavor to it, or any real distinctive taste at all. It was actually rather bland and very sweet.
• Frosting: The cookie is listed as having walnut cream cheese frosting which sounded interesting but sadly there wasn't any discernible walnut flavor that we could taste. It had only a slight hint of cream cheese to it.
  
• Coloring: Deep, dark red. Instantly dyes your mouth red.
  
• Consistency: Hard! Much, much harder than a cookie needs to be. Despite being hard, it wasn't very crumbly. The white chocolate chips in it were softer than the cookie.
• Additional Comments: The cookie had the potential to be something amazing but turned out to just be a bland, overly-sweet mess.

This bakery is quite hyped up at the moment as it is still fairly new, and we have had many other tasty treats from it. The prices are a little steep but that seems to be the trend in Hell's Kitchen these days. It's certainly worth a visit to check out some of the other unique flavors like maple bacon and carmel apple crisp.

 Red Velvet Milkshake

• Cake: This shake is described to be a red vanilla anglaise shake with red velvet creme and red velvet cookie chunks, but basically, the entire thing tastes like vanilla, even the cookie chunks. It was also a little too sweet.
• Frosting: We suppose the vanilla anglaise ice cream would be the frosting? The shake did certainly taste vanilla so perhaps we could say it has a very strong "frosting" flavor.
  
• Coloring: Pink
  
• Consistency: A mix between smooth and creamy and hard and chunky. Some of the cookie chunks were still quite large so there was a bit to chew when it came to devouring this shake.
• Additional Comments: Rather disappointing for what seemed to have fairly awesome ingredients involved. Somehow the vanilla just overpowered everything.
