Cubes Baking Company Review - Sweet milk and square cakes

This week's review is Cubes Baking Company! I discovered Cubes by chance the first time when walking through Wallingford, on my way to meet up with friends. I am especially weak for desserts that feature milk as a primary ingredient and flavor. Creme Brulee, Flans, and Tres Leches are all high on the list. So their signboard promising tres leches in many flavors lured me in! Everything they make is delightfully square and boasts amazing flavors. The storefront hasn't been open long, just over two years. They've already won a number of awards, including a win on Food Network's Winner Cake All!  I'm so excited to share them with you.

The Cubes Storefront!

Up first from the bakery are what I'm most excited to share! They offer several flavors of Tres Leches every day they are open. They offer unique flavors as well as more standard ones. Some of the other offerings I've had include Matcha and Mexican Mocha. I've also seen flavors like Cheesecake, which I will definitely be back to try!

For today's review, I selected a personal favorite in Dulce de Leche, and a more simple Strawberry flavor I'd not yet had.

On the left: Dulce de Leche, featuring dulce de leche blended with three milk blend, a whipped frosting, and drizzled with more delicious dulce on top! On the right: Fresa (Strawberry), loaded with strawberry flavored three milk blend, a strawberry whip frosting, and freeze-dried strawberries on top!

 Tres leches are, traditionally, a sponge cake soaked in a mixture made of heavy cream, evaporated milk, and condensed milk. Sometimes butter is in the cake mix, leading to a heavier and denser texture.  This leads to a moist almost pudding-like texture to the cake. The frosting is usually a whipped cream. Cubes' recipes seem to be of the lighter variety in general, which I'm a fan of.

Dulce de Leche is my favorite flavor on the menu. The caramel-like flavor imparted by the dulce de leche they mix in is divine. The cake is so loaded with milk it almost melts away on the tongue. I ate probably a third of the container for lunch the day I picked these up...

Strawberry is wonderful if you'd prefer a lighter affair. I found the flavor of the milk blend to be slightly more milk-heavy strawberry milk. The tartness of those bites with freeze-dried berries added a delicious contrast to the mild flavor! If you'd like a more mild experience, but want to be more adventurous than traditional, give it a try!

Last but not least today, I wanted to feature their well-known Purple Suede cake! At Cubes, they offer CubeCakes instead of cupcakes; mini squares of the full-size cakes they offer for special order. Purple suede is their twist on red velvet, topped with a delicious lavender and lemon zest cream cheese frosting. The cake offers a moist and dense texture, and the frosting is -just- sweet enough, so as to not bury the flavor of the cake! They are delightful, so definitely pick one up if you stop in!
