"I moved away and was not present for my best friend 's birthday. Because I could not bake the cake myself I was nervous about ordering one, as cakes are often too sweet and dredged in icing. I called Exotic Syrian because they have a specialty order Pistachio Cake. The woman on the phone was kind and patient with my questions. And the cake... Perhaps one of the best I 've ever had, he reported. Soft and fluffy, pistachio forward, with notes of orange blossom and rose water, and just enough icing to complement the medley of flavors, that took him to childhood memories of home. Thank you for the care that was put into this birthday surprise."
